Need a new game

None of my games are fun anymore and feel like a chore to play them. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy. I'll try any free suggestion and will spend up to $20 if the game looks really good.

Dota 2 is fun if you have a full group of people to play with and the patience to learn the game

Tried it once, never been so frustrated. People with good tanks just 1shot you..

What kind of games?

Strategy: shogun 2, Hearts of Iron 3(get the expansions if you like it), Victoria 2.

3rd person shooters/adventures: Assassins creed, Hitman.
FPS: Red orchestra 2.

So I am the only one who is still playing 90s games?
I always figured this was normal, because dod is also 10+ years old and you all play it. Or maybe I am just being forced by cirumstances (like my laptop crashing and smelling like fire when I run gta4 for 20+ mins)

My 16 bit sega get's more gametime than my ps2 (my newest console).
And occasionally I play on my gameboy (the grey one with 4 x AA). Great fun.
Finding opponents is a pain though. Always complaining about graphics.

If I was bored I would buy a super nintendo with some good classics. No joke.

Portal 2 Co-op is a lot of fun. Download custom maps and play with someone.

Hey look, another nerd. I still play a lot of Nintendo and Super Nintendo. And if I want to play a shooter, I'll usually play Half-Life or the early Quake and Doom games. Old ass games ftw.

Been playing some d3 hardcore lately and it's been fun. Probably will get boring in another week or so.

There is something about playing Fifa with friends while drinking.

It just never gets old. Other than that I had fun playing Tomb Raider and I still haven't beaten Assasins Creed III.

The drake series is awesome.

For some reason the older I get I just kept finish games anymore. Those moments when I come home tired I'd rather just fire up Netflix.

All of the Total War games are amazing. Rome: Total War is probably the most alive, and probably the oldest. I remember there were few leagues I played in for that game. Also I'm sure you've played the Elder Scrolls series, but Oblivion and Morrowind are great games to get into. Garry's Mod has a huge community it's basically a mod of a mod. Bunch of servers/gamemodes. There is rp, build, ttt (trouble in terrorist town), etc.

Borderlands2 4 player co-op is fun and rewarding. Borderlands ppl like it.
I tryed a little of Borderlands after BL2 but couldn't mod it to look the same (I removed the black outlines and cell shading in BL2).
Its casual good for 20-40 hours. If you dig it furthur theres more dlc for it.
Some of my hardcore bl2 peeps moved on to defiance. Thats a bit more involved for me, but it has something they like.

Rome 2 comes out in September!

I play a bunch of starcraft 2 but the learning curve is quite high, it's fun when you get decent at it though.

wintehs · Post by **wintehs** » Thu Jun 06, 2013 3:03 pm

Finally starting to really get into DOTA... still a huge noob though. And I do play SC2 occasionally as well, used to be fairly decent at the game then I just stopped playing completely a few months before HotS came out. Still getting used to the new units

Crono · Post by **Crono** » Thu Jun 06, 2013 3:07 pm

Payday 2 looks fun. 1st one was a blast to play with 3 other people. Give it a look coming out sometime in august for 30 bucks.

I'll play stacks with anyone who plays dota and at least _tries_ to be good. If you're bad that's fine, as long as you want to get better. It beats the disgusting majority of pub players that just suck/bitch/blame

I just got Devil May Cry and Alan Wake since they were on sale. DMC is single player only and the storyline is quite good. I didn't try Alan Wake yet.

Cage · Post by **Cage** » Fri Jun 07, 2013 4:17 am

Alan wake was decent, definitely worth a try. It's pretty scary at the beginning but later on it feels kind of dull..

Don't play with Alopex then. He purposely throws games (blopwings).

That's no worse than the randoms in our games.

I bought this game the other day and it's fucking awesome.

Great great puzzle game. I feel guilty as to way it caught my eye though...
