computer games

I have a somy s560p and want to get a couple games, any suggestions?

 

What kind of games do you think would be interesting for you? FPS's, RPG's, MMORPG's?

 

I dunno games like cs, doom3? Haven't played games on a computer for like 15 years...

 

Well what are the specs for your computer? This will affect what we recommend.

Also, I moved this to the Gaming (Hardware and Software) forum. It is on-topic

 

get half life 2 and set it the difficulty to easy. its very fun and is currently the best pc game.

Apparantly the new game Elder Scrolls Oblivion is going to overtake Half Life2 as the best pc game (so i've heard) so watch out for that game too. Im definately going to buy it

It's the same as this but I added 512mb, instead of 1gb of ram.. pentium m 1.86 ghz, 798 mhz.

 

It is better to buy online or at the store? I'm a total noob to this. There are sites where u can play against other ppl, right? Should I buy there or at my local store? Thanks darbyjack... I have a credit account at compusa so that's easier for me even though the service stinks...

 

OK. my bad..

 

Here are my recommendations:

Shooters:

Half-life 2
Battlefield 2
F.E.A.R

RTS:

Age of Empires 3
Rome: Total War

RPG:

Neverwinter Nights
Baldur's Gate
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

This is all I can think of right now. You should be able to run all the games, some at low settings, but all are great games.

 

Cool, can I use my keyboard or do I have to buy one of those guns?

 

Just the keyboard and mouse. Movement is usually buttons W,A,S,D for movement. You will get it.

 

guns!!!....what guns??.....

 

Like for console games.

 

ur keyboard and mouse will be better than a silly toy gun any day.


Buying online is generally cheaper and I prefer it.

But im buying Elder Scrolls Oblivion in the stores because i dont want to wait for it to be delivered


Battlefield 2 is a great online game where u only play against other humans but its not a game for newbies. I'd say u should get Half Life 2, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion or Age of Empires 3

those games are brilliant!


By the way, you will need a powerful laptop or computer to play Elder Scrolls Oblivion

 

Thanks everybody... I'm going to get Half Life 2 then later I'll get a few more games...

 

I'm on the roof and can't shoot. Am i not supposed to have any weapons at this point? i keep getting shot and there is nowhere to go...

 

You don't get weapons right away, just keep running. The game unfolds really nicely. HL2 is one of the best FPS ever made . .

Thanks Chaz. I wasn't sure what mouse one mouse two was... If I reformat, can I just install it again? And in the future can I play online against other people?

 

Yes to both. You can always reinstall the game, and you can play online - it's called Half-Life 2 DeathMatch.

This one needs to go into the NBR Hall of Fame. If there is not one already, please make one and make this the first post! Here is another classic:

I am not trying to make fun of 'jayree' in any way. These are just classic, original posts that I have not seen anything else like posted on any forum.

 

Its nice to see someone who is new to pc gaming actually benefit from posting on a forum. makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. lol. you might want to check out some other games from my all time fav list.

Diablo2
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Fable:The Lost Chapters
Call of Duty 1 and 2
Warcraft3

they are a couple more but i cant remember everything. lol. check out sites like www.gamespot.com for more info on games. they have like 6000 games for PC listed! lol
