**Recommend Me a Game** Ask About Game Recommendations Here

Depends - single and multiplayers are different. With single player, if you know what you are doing it should not take long (I usually beat each act in one sitting and I can't sit still for very long lol). If you are going for speed here are some tips:

1. Do not pick up everything. When it comes to items, pick up only those you need. If you think you need to pick up everything and sell them for money - you are wrong. Only pick up sorceress, necromancer, and paladin staff. Those small items can be sold for a fortune, that should be your main source of income. And pick up potions till your belt is full. That's all.

2. There is no need to capture all teleport points.

3. Save all your low level runes and gems, they'll become useful.

4. When your stash is full of money, start gambling. Then pick up and sell more sorc/necro/pala stuff, and repeat.

5. Do a little research on class building before you start, if you plan on going onto nightmare/hell. If you only plan on playing on normal, then don't bother.

 

guys i need some help..my gf lives hours away and we basically skype everyday. so i was thinking of getting a pc game for both of us that would be fun (something with multiplayer option). something simple yet enjoyable..nothing GPU intensive..any suggestions?

 

When you say "not GPU intensive", just how limited are we talking? Integrated Intel graphics or low-end nVidia/ATi integrated, or what?

If both of your systems can handle it, Team Fortress 2 is fun and easy to get into, especially now that it's free to play. My ex and I used to have plenty of fun just messing around on 2fort pub servers.

If you think she's skilled enough, you could try Quake Live. It's free and browser-based, and relatively easy on your system.

 

I want a game and be scared to death, any suggestions? I love horror movies and usually watch things lilke that when I'm alonee with all lights off etc. Now I want a game... I have not seen a good move which scared me in a long time now.. kinda missing it..

 

The Penumbra series are pretty good for that. I've heard Amnesia: The Dark Descent is good as well, though I haven't played it.

DooM 3 is worth playing through, though most of the horror is derived from suspense and "OH SH**" moments, as well as the overall dim lighting of the environments.

 

DooM 3 is from 2004, I tried this back in time but did never finish it.

The Penumbra did look a bit better, but IDK. How is Silent Hill, anyone played that? I had it, but never played it now I've lost it

Also, I would prefer a bit highend games so I can push my new laptop a little bit and see max tempratures etc.

 

were talking integrated graphics...thnx for the suggestion but i did think about tf2 since i play that but i dont think shes into that type of game..shes more of the indie type of games though (plants and zombies, farmville, cafe world,).u knw those facebook type of games.lol

 

@tunay: check out Metro 2033. It's more survival than strictly horror, but it has its moments. It'll give your laptop a run for its money, too.

@mokylim: I'm not very big on those sorts of games, but Steam recently rolled out a bunch of free games. Spiral Knights is a pretty fun little multiplayer slasher.

 

I undestand you... my wife loves PvZ, World of goo, etc...

My wife is a Mac user, so she is limited in games. BUT, we tried Spiral Knights (F2P) and she liked it!. You could try that.

I'm still trying to immerse her into L4D2 (gift her a steam copy xD) and TF2. Difficult, but I will!!

 

Diablo 2 PvP. Or L4D.

 

I really like scary games too, is almost impossible to find a game that scares to death... I'm an horror movie fan too. Amnesia is good, but really not my type. Silent Hill is good too. I LOVE Bioshock (that is really scary) and Undying. Recently bought the F.E.A.R. pack, but ain't tried it yet. Now that I think about it, I never played Doom 3!

P.S.: Have you seen The Shutter? Thailand version, not american. One of the most scary s**t I've ever seen

 

I know metro and dubt my laptop can handle it.. I was thinking off to get FEAR3 but it has issues as far as I have read.. So I'll leave it off for now.. Wonder if I should pick off F.E.A.R.2: Project Origin?

 

What about Alice: Madness Returns?

 

Aww We're buddies then No, I haven't seen it, I know it tou, were never able to find anywere I could find it and since I cannot import it from Thailand to Norway

Is Bioshock good? I have BioShock 1 I may installed it now I did play it back in time, can't remember a single thing...

I'm into FEAR Project Orgin atm.

Dude Alice: Madness Returns looks like cartoon for me..

 

http://www.amazon.com/Shutter-Anand...S3B2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1309285136&sr=8-3

Bioshock is one of the best games I ever played. Ain't played Bioshock 2 yet... but is in my library waiting.

I liked Alice, the first one. Didn't play the new one... yet xD

 

I have friends in Thailand so I just get them to ship it to me if the sub is available. But I was looking for it dubbed to eng tbh...

I'm installing BioShock now then, can you guarantee I'm going to be scared? Or should I also buy FEAR Project Orgin? I had retail, lost it, oh and FYI I had the special edition or limited edition with ali cover and extra stuff...

 

I never played any F.E.A.R. game but I will eventually xD.

About Bioshock... play it with some good headphones, the atmosphere is magical... you hear screams, curses, prayers... I remember arriving at one place, suddenly lights off and you hear voices, enemies sharping knives on the ground while getting closer, whispering, screams.... Also, the story is AMAZING. The gameplay is superb... it really is a classic.

 

Okay, the install is almost done with my Gamecom 777 Headset I think this is going to be one epic night, oh, did I mention? I live alone in middle of nowhere..

 

i just checked out world of goo and it looks like something shell love..tnx for the suggestion..ill let her try this and see if shell like it.. but still, something we both can play together would be nice too!

 

I love in fact that FPS in BioShock goes anywhere from 90+ to 20 depending what's happening

 

I know I'm probably gonna get flamed for this but...

World of Warcraft! You guys could level together for at least a few months. I think it's playable on IGP on lowest settings.

 

lol as i stated earlier no graphics intensive..lol...

also, she tried world of goo already and she absolutely loved it! ignored me for like 30 min cause she wanted to learn how the game works..LOL tnx guys...

now just need something with multiplayer...

 

MAGICKA! haha, I don't really know what she likes, but that's a great casual multi player game.

For single player, she may like the popcap games, have her try them out on the website before you buy anything.

 

Spiral Knights... Free + Steam + voice chat + groups (you can do a closed group and include her only if you want) + FREE

 

I agree, it is fun and people are helpful for newbies

 

Anyone?

Mr. Mysterious

 

Spiral Knights would be better if it had more classes to choose.

 

Assassins creed has the whole jumping around and climbing thing that PoP has.

 

Got all three. About halfway through the second one right now...

Mr. Mysterious

 

Personally, Fallout 3 was a scary game for me because of the concept mixed with the 50's music and visuals ranging from two skeletons lying on a bed to Deathclaws (which, sadly, lost their scare factor over time) to the suicide letters left behind by people who've roamed "The Wastes." F*cking brilliantly done game, in my mind (also my first game on the PS3).

But I heard the Dead Space series was pretty scary. Heard a lot of sh*t jumps out at you, lol. I don't think you'd be able to find a true horror game, though. As a society we've become desensitized to a lot of stuff. Hell, the last thing that truly scared me was the movie "Aliens" and that's when I was 5 or 6, haha.

 

amnesia is pretty freaky. you can't even fight back.

 

Looked up a video for Amnesia. While being some freaky sh*t I just so happened to choose the video of the guy freaking out beyond all possible reason. I had to favorite it But yea, that was some weird stuff. I think the not being able to fight back is what makes the game.

EDIT: Nice profile picture, by the way, lol. Also, every time I get an e-mail response ("So and so has replied to this topic") from this thread it sends me to the previous page. Anybody know why? Usually it sends me to the last comment on the last page.

 

I know is not "the same" but, have you tried Prototype? I loved that game

 

I loved it and have played it a bunch of times. It's even in my review, lol

Mr. Mysterious

 

I have now gotten 3 e-mails saying that someone's replied, but they've all been for Mr. Mysterious' comment.

What the hell...

 

I don't get emails, I just have to remember where I posted. I hate getting emails from websites like this...

 

You have to edit the settings in your "User CP", in your Account.

Mr. Mysterious

 

Any good team-oriented multiplayer FPS with different classes where you play versus others? i.e. BFBC2. Brink looks close to what I'm looking for, but it received a lot of mixed reviews.

 

Counter Strike is the Ultimate MP FPS game. otherwise, wait for BF3

 

definitely try TF2...and valve just made it free to play for like...youll find every class haVe different combat mechanics...and plus its fun!

 

Too many games, finishing more clear, introduction is great. thank you

 

Someone recommend me a game with serene beauty and atmosphere..
Something like ICO, shadow of the colossus for the PS2 or even like this new game Journey for PS3, need something like that but for PC..

Thanks

 

Prince of Persia 2008

Mr. Mysterious

 

That was good, really liked it but not quite what i was looking for

 

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West? That's for PS3 though

Mr. Mysterious

 

Something like ICO, shadow of the colossus for the PS2 or even like this new game Journey for PS3, need something like that but for PC..

Thanks[/QUOTE]

I really liked the atmosphere in Fallout 3, just wandering around, seeing the sights and how the post apocalyptic world looks....

 

I like Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Battlefield 2, Diablo, Combat Arms/CrossFire (free, online FPS), and Altitude. I would like to play Half-Life 2, the first Far Cry, and Crysis. Any other recommendations? I lean towards shooters, but something that mixes genres (Fallout, for example) is always cool.

I'm open to pretty much any PC game, though. Thanks for any opinions.

 

I'm looking for a game that will run well on the following hardware, genre doesn't matter really but I would prefer fps/rpg.

i5 540m
6gb ddr3
nvs 3100m
120gb ssd

Particurarly something that will take me a long time to finish, think I can run kotor on this setup?

 

KOTOR's minimum hardware:

OS: Windows XP and Windows Vista
Processor: Intel Pentium 3 1Ghz or AMD Athlon 1GHz
Memory: 256 RAM
Graphics: 32 MB with Hardware T&L
DirectX®: Directx 9.0b or better
Hard Drive: 3.5 GB
Sound: Directx 9.0b compatible

I think you're gonna be ok.

 

Nice, unfortunately Steam cannot connect to any servers on our work network here. We have a ton of downtime at work, and on days when I don't bring in my alienware I wanted something besides netflix to play/watch.
So hmm...

I was really hoping I could get either kotor or warband installed, although i'm not too sure on the performance of this laptop. Minecraft stutters in my windows environment, but on my nix* partition it plays great.
