Re: Recommend potter some hot games
LOL
as an update, I've been playing some just cause 2, half life 2 for the 10th time, some psychonauts, and dead space for the second time. My main monitor is now a 12 foot wide 1920x1080 projection screen, so recommend me stuff that looks really cool but doesnt suck. Installed and tried far cry 2, turned it off within 10 minutes. What a garbage game!

Re: Recommend potter some hot games
Yeah Farcry 2 was pretty lame. I think I played like 2 missions and quit.
You should definitely check out F.E.A.R. like I said before. Also Portal is free on steam right now if you haven't played it. If you can get into the RPG's check out Mass Effect & Mass Effect 2.

Re: Recommend potter some hot games
played fear and portal back in the day, great games. Was never really into the rpg genre I guess just because I was never exposed to it, I have nothing against it. I'm thinking mass effect might be a good game to give it a try, so I'll probably do that!

Re: Recommend potter some hot games
I've heard that it was underwhelming but I think the FPS genre is saturated and gimmicky as fuck soooooooooo my opinion is probably bunk.

Re: Recommend potter some hot games
Apparently Red Dead Redemption is getting crazy reviews. It's like GTA in the old west, but better and less monotonous. I never played the first one, or even GTA4, but this game apparently just does everything right.

also Alan Wake comes out today, which looked like a really good spooky survival action game when I saw videos last year. If you're interested in great visuals and atmosphere for your setup, Alan Wake seems like a good choice judging from what I've seen. it's made by the max payne guys too, which i never played but people seemed to enjoy

for sure, I miss the days of half life, duke nukem, etc when it was about encompassing you in a world and story and letting you experience what the game makers wanted to convey
these days story has taken a backseat and is there as more of a way to let you shoot thingz and blow up stuff hugeliek

Re: Recommend potter some hot games
Yeah they're console only, but didn't you just add me on 360 today? Consoles obviously look worse than a high end PC, but really, the best games on the systems are actually pretty impressive looking on a nice TV. They all play smoothly at 720p and 360 upscales it to 1080p and it looks nice. I guess the PS3 version of Red Dead (as usual for the system) runs below 720p at some weird resolution and has a lot more jaggies because multiplat games just get the shaft for poor ol' ps3.
There were plans for Alan Wake to come to PC a while ago, and it was touted to have like the best graphics ever made, but I guess maybe those plans were scrapped and it became a 360 exclusive. It looks good though, but I'm poor.

Re: Recommend potter some hot games
yeah i have a 360, but its faux-1080p blown up to 12 feet, it just looks like ass. you can easily tell that all 360 games have extremely low resolution textures, no antialiasing, and are not running at 1080p whatsoever. It's definitely playable, I just wish there was a pc version that I could just crank all the way up

Re: Recommend potter some hot games
Some other good PC games I'd recommend that are not shooters:
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Grid 2
Syberia 1 & 2 (these are kinda older so the graphics aren't really adjustable, might look like poop but the story & atmosphere are what really make the games)
Braid
Trine

Re: Recommend potter some hot games
I've considered trying RDR, is there a demo anywhere? There are just so many good games coming out that my free time is fucking booked. SSF4, SC2, exercising to not be a fatty, eating to maintain my fat-dom, etc.Riot wrote:Apparently Red Dead Redemption is getting crazy reviews.
