Topic: Fun Games I have played recently

Bioshock Infinite which I started playing yesterday... awesome, some annoying rail ride areas but otherwise fantastic

The Bureau: X-Com Declassified which is a tactical fps. Retro and sci-fi game play makes for an interesting twist. Plot is unique but the mission count seems a little low. Also hard to keep teamies alive which may indicate I need a new strategy.

Deus-Ex: Human Revolution was a great game with a lot of fun. Very re-playable with many different options available.

Just Cause 2 is one of the biggest maps I have ever seen, if not the absolute biggest. A great engine but the plot is a bit wishy washy. Still destroying so many different objects and flying, driving, boating so many different vehicles (dozens!) is quite interesting. Did I mention you can blow up so many different things?

Lost Planet 3 is linear to a fair thee well but the action in a mech and the combat functions were really nice. Different combat environs, unique ice monsters and a decent plot was all fairly exciting. Hard level is just that... actually hard!

Mars: War Logs had a decent plot line, some great action, and melee... for fighting a space game melee did not take a back seat in this game.

X-Com Enemy Unknown was a tight tactical turn based game. A very well designed plot line built with sand box opportunities and team building. Very addicting for a lover of RTT games.

X3 Terran Conflict is one of my favorite games, with high re-playability. A very decent series of quest lines, two ex-pacs and sand boxing on a level to almost equal that minecraft thing... except in space with your space stations! Oh and huge fleets... yeah 100 fighters escorting 20 corvettes and 10 destroyers around 4 carriers... and the missiles flying everywhere as you take on the AI enemy...

Far Cry 3 has a bunch of side quests, main quests, and an interesting story line (lots of magic mushroom oh what do I see now moments). Harvesting animals for better equipment is not usually done in a 'modern' setting but they did it here with a decent way to introduce it. So many enemy bases.... so little time! Not for someone who can only play 30 minutes of a day most!!!

Endless Space is how Masters of Orion 3 should have been. Definitely worth returning to a lot!

I am currently waiting for X Rebirth to be out, prepaid and all on Steam. I am also looking at that new Might and Magic game as well.

So what games do you guys love, and why? And yes the thread is legal since it is all offline games.

Re: Fun Games I have played recently

Skyrim: Pretty sure I'll be replaying until my 360 dies

Grand Theft Auto 5: Still in the middle of it.  The amount of missions, side missions, and screwing around you can do is thus far insane.

Modestus Experitus

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: Fun Games I have played recently

Up to 95% on GTA 5, game is amazing, looking to 100% it before GTA Online is out next week. X(

I got back into Skyrim right before GTA 5, finishing up the main quest line(it only took me 2 years).

Re: Fun Games I have played recently

Master of Orion 2 which came out in 1999

and Windows Solitaire

mostly I like costume roleplay.  I dress up like Dilbert and pretend Republicans matter

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Fun Games I have played recently

X-Com: Enemy Unknown   The revamped version even though I seriously miss the original bug hunting.  This one actually focuses the camera angle on troopers "sprinting" just like out of the movies such as Blaire Witch Project or Cloverdale.  The aliens are definately more menacing, and seem overscaled for your low edge soldiers.  But that slowly shrinks with time when you access new technologies/weapons/armor.  And some of the armors will definately have some unique movement characteristics.  Awaiting the release of X-Com: Enemy Within pack.

Guild Wars 2:  Played the original Guild Wars for nearly 7 years.  And been playing Guild Wars 2 since beta and launch.  Still running around spouting, "All hail kittah! Savior of the cosmos! Holder of the universal yarn ball of harmony!" on the Jade Quarry server, as Key Of Dreams.

Other games....no...not really.  I choose games for extreme replayability.  I don't like games where you can lose interest pretty fast and wait for the next, "Glitzy game with major flaws and bugs...so we're just gonna stick with the tried and true boring content."  How many Flight Simulators can you fly?  Grand Theft Auto XXXIV?  Weed Wacker, how many weeds can you cut down before they bloom and spread?  meh.

=^o.o^= When I'm cute I can be cute.  And when I'm mean, I can be very very mean.  I'm a cat.  Expect me to be fickle.
