Something atmospheric, challenging, and well, fun, if possible.
As for the FPS part, something akin to Thief or Bioshock, no MW crap please.
And PC only.
Thanks!

Mass Effect 2.
and for that matter, Mass Effect 1.
ME1 was an RPG with shooter elements. ME2 was a shooter with RPG elements.
Both were excellent. and further more why do i even need a sig? |

Edited by: Adora Femella on 28/05/2010 15:06:19 Well system shock 2 and Deus ex would be very similar to the examples you gave, but the games are getting to be a bit old. I don't really know any good new games outside mass effect and fallout 3, that would fit the description.

Uuuh, I just remembered how much I loved Europa 1400. It was kind of a "medieval life simulator", where you had to manage a medieval business (from churches to blacksmiths to taverns) with a dynasty spanning 200 years. Any other games like this on the market?
I know of its successor, but It was a major dissapointment

I own every paradox game, as well as M&B. Looking forward to Vicky 2.

You haven't mentioned if you have Sins of a solar empire, if you haven't played that give it a go, you should be able to pick it up plus the 2 expansions relatively cheap.

Give ai war a spin. It's kinda like a cross between supreme commander with some tower defence elements and deep 4x strategy added in for good measure. Plus the developer is extremely active with the game on nearly a day to day basis and has implimented loads of player recommended stuff. Not the moast overwhelmingly eye candy stuffed game around but tbh you get used to the sprite oriented graphics quickly. Hell most games look exactly like a game of sup com in space with the strategic zoom and the fact your units are almost always in icon mode.

:hi-five: for vicky2
yeah, apart from sins of a solar empire was mentioned above, i can't really think of anything, games recently have been so...zzz
i think your best bet is to try some of the games you have with some good mods, they're occasionally out there.
edit: also, i thought distant worlds was potentially interesting, but economically/strategically boring what with everything being oddly behind the scenes
also also, another thought would be x3: reunion and x3: terran conflict _____________________ Horrors! Demons in the deep! |

Nexus the jupiter incident (screenshot) - spaceship game, control a small battlegroup of ships and fight various enemies, very tactical and steep enough learning curve, looks amazing for its age
Silent Storm (screenshot) - commando's style game, turn based like UFO: Enemy Unknown, except with ww2 commando team, another great looking game but slow
Silent Hunter III (screenshot) - submarine sim, very tactical and very hard at its later stages
Freelancer - you've probably played this but if not, its a great story and a very atmospheric game
Galactic Civ II - civilization / master of orion hybrid, slow burning but good fun, a little too much micro management though

I would just like to throw a vote towards Sword of the Stars. A 4x type game, but I love it.
It's available on steam as well, though I'm not sure if steam is still over-charging for it or not.

+1 for AI war.
Only complaints ive seen about the game is that its too hard to understand (your an eve player, htfu), and the sprite graphics. I play supcom in perma-sprite mode, so no problem there.

Then what about Borderlands? Anno 1404 Venice the expansion of Anno is out, otherwise settlers 7 maybe? Or Red Dead Redemption? And if you're really in to baldur's gate style rpg give Dragon Age a shot and don't forget the expansion to it :)

Originally by: Aevlar Baldur's Gate
I'm recommending the Baldur's Gate series definitely. Bioware always has had the tendency to make the second game of a series better than it's prequel. In overall I enjoy BG2 much more than BG1 due to it's better quality and funny dialogs and easter eggs.
They also did the same with Mass Effect: Mass Effect plays better and has more fun elements in it.

Command and Conquer: Renegade (if you can find it!) --> Also, multiplayer servers *may* still be available, dunno...
Morrowind and Oblivion, of course. --> I still have Oblivion on my PC, with about 40 mods enabled (mostly graphics enhancement or fixes). Win7 actually gave it new life too...
As for strategy, Starcraft II is supposed to be out pretty soon.

I would like to play Bioshock 2 and the Mass Effect games, but the DRM & other 'additional running' software is a bit of a stopper (especially since I'd be getting these from Steam - most of that becomes redundant).

oddly, one of my problems with ME is that it doesnt give me any information. Compared to the spreadsheet-esque amounts of information you can find on the TES wiki, the ME wiki is almost empty. And I never could find a page that adequately explained the 'accuracy' number.

Originally by: Arec Bardwin Edited by: Arec Bardwin on 28/05/2010 18:17:16 Distant Worlds 4x realtime space strategy. No demo, but got excellent reviews.
I played it intensively for a week or two. In the end, thumbs down until they fix the game. Quite similar to Galciv/MOO/HoI3, the core idea is good but the implementation was rather sloppy. While it did excite and occupy my time for several days, there's little reason for me to keep playing it long term. Even with the 1.0.4.5 patch, the game feels half-finished.
Why? Way too many reasons to list here. Atrocious loading time. Save times can go over 5 mins. Antiquated file path i.e not default to Program Files during install. Unsettling windows like dialog boxes ingame. Bad hard to read font for main UI - the Galactopedia fonts were better. Shallow techs. Too many aliens (over 20), not enough uniqueness. Ad nauseum, I cba to type this all day.
One of the biggest game breaker for my case was that _time_ moves the same when you're running solar system battles. It's devastating in large games because hundreds of things can literally scroll past before you can react. Yes, the automation helps a lot but whats the point of playing this game if you're going to automate 75-90% of the stuffs? No thanks.
Once you spend hours playing this game, you'll discover than more than half the time you spend fighting the unintuitive UI which suffers from slow updates as your list grows.
The only 4x game that stays on my HDD is Sword of the Stars due to the infinite replayability. Checkout the North Star project from the same company (Kerberos). If it pans out as envisioned by them, that ought to be a very interesting future title to keep an eye on. |

Well I don't know about the simulator aspect but Anno 1404 is a city building and resource management game set in medieval time. In my opinion it's pretty decent game.

Stragedy games? I recommend:
Company of Heroes Star Craft II (Coming soon in july 27th I think) Warhammer: Dawn of War series (Dawn of War II is ok, but I kind of hate the multiplayer aspect)
FPS wise, I recommend the following: Left 4 dead 2 (got friends) Bad Company II (got friends here too?) Mass Effect I and II (great single player, but its third person shooter game with RPG elements in) Fallout 3
There's more I could recommend. Just evemail. :) ----------------------------------- Peace through power! |

Might as well plug a golden oldie that is just as good now as it was when it was first released.
Master of Magic.
Get dosbox to run it and enjoy years of excellent turn based epic fantasy rpg 4x gameplay. Just make sure to apply the 1.31 patch and to set up the sound as general midi for the rather enjoyable soundtrack. I recommend an even mix of white and green magic for the new player due to the powerful terrain altering spells and units buffs. Regeneration, Iron Skin and Holy Armour are quite a nasty combo for your Heros and general melee units. Once you get comfortable with the mechanics then go for either a pure scorcery or black magic wizard as they have zomg powerful overland spells that can effect entire regions of the map or even all of the world. Zombie Mastery is one of them where after being cast any units falling in battle rise from the grave and become ghouls and zombies under your control who can then increase their ranks by killing other units. Even units of two other wizards who are fighting each other. 
Can't really say enough about the near infinite replayability of the game tbqfh. It should be on everyones harddrive who loves the genre.

Master of Magic.
+1 for Master of Magic ;p But if you dont like prehistoric games - Age of Wonders (1 or 2+Shadow Magic) might do a trick - its the closest you can get to MoM in games dated above year 2000. Ofc X-COM1/2 is all time clasic and still fun game to play.
From RTS? CNC3+Kanes Wrath for multi stuff (IMO beats starcraft2 in every possible way). Lately ive been playing Age of empires 3 + asian dynasties. Kinda fun game if you find someone to play on multi.
RPG? Well RPG genre IMO is dead on PC but if you want long and kinda hardcore game try Wizardry 8. It IS good and kinda long. Or if you cant be arsed - Morrowind. Still way better than FO3+Oblivion combined.
FPS? Meh another genre that recycles ideas all the friggin time. Bad Company 2 for multiplayer. For single id go towards TPP shooters like splinter cell: conviction (i didnt finish it but game was kinda ok in my book) or maybe even deadspace (if its on PC, not sure).

They're both more or less the same in terms of gameplay. Out of the whole series, I found the Homeworld:Cataclysm expansion to be the best. From what I can remember (this was a long time ago), its Cataclysm's gameplay and UI was slightly different from the original because it came from a different software studio (Barking Dog iirc).
If you fell asleep with Homeworld 2, then its siblings won't change anything. |

Men of war and its predecessor faces of war were both awful compared to the original, soldiers: heroes of ww2, they made soldiers amazingly and then messed up the interface and gameplay with its two sequels

If you fell asleep with Homeworld 2, then its siblings won't change anything.
think I'll try them again so
if there's a thing that made me cringe about HW1 was how ****ing hard that game was.
I mean, I only managed to clear the game with an infinite resources trainer, and even then it was ****ing hard.
the final 3 missions are simply... staggering, dificulty-wise. there was a time where I had to replace half of my frigate fleet for support frigates, meaning that the frigate section was pretty much ion+support, because my entire fighter/bomber/corvette wing needed a means to repair and resupply. Resources were also scarce, and every bit counted before heading to the final mission (and even then, your RU's were quite limited)
HW: Cataclysm had nice things that were implemented later on in HW2, like modular design, and the introduction of a AoE weapon. unit limit was also introduced in Cataclysm and the Cataclysm mothership could actually strike back with something more than pea-shooters. That and more among many things were what made Cataclysm very good.
HW2, when it got out, had some mighty hard missions that had to be patched so that they were passable. Other than that, while very good game, it really didn't live up to its predecessors. Still, a quality game, with much more refined mechanics, with several things brought from both HW1 (ship class progression, amongst other known stuffs) and Cataclysm (modular construction).
I am eagerly awaiting for the announced HW3 ---

UFO Aftermath/Aftershock/Afterlight were all pretty good if you were ever a fan of the old x-com games.

As for the FPS part, something akin to Thief or Bioshock, no MW crap please.
And PC only.

Fallout 3 is a ducking joke, if anything buy the Fallout Collection on Steam. |

actually, the GOTY version with all the DLC's is quite good.
specially the part about having more story beyond the end of the game (Broken Steel DLC) and increased lvl20 to 30.
it also brings new enemies...
...very nasty enemies (mutant overlords armed with tri-beams? nevermind the ghoul reavers and the albino radscorps) that make deathclaws look like pansies ---

The DLC has been rather inconsistent though, either being a hit or miss and some of it feels like it should have been in the game from the beginning instead of having to pay extra for it like the case with Broken Steel imo. |

yeah, that I do agree. That's why if you're buying Fallout 3, the GOTY edition is the one you must buy.
too bad it costs that much on steam.
to the OP, why not this little gem? ---
