So hard to find a good game to play

We have pretty similar tastes in games, in fact I'd say identical. Right now all I play is Team Fortress 2 for competition, FarCry2 for beauty and single player run n gun, and got back into L4D:2 recently. I never played the first L4D b/c the game just seemed obviously boring and reptitive. I bought L4D2 because people just raved about how much they loved the game, and I got bored of it after about a week. Just picked it back up 2 weeks go and have been playing pretty regularly on expert mode only. Maybe I wasnt playing expert before or maybe they increased the difficulty since I last played, but now I love it, especially finding a group of guys to complete multiple missions with.

Games I have ready waiting to play (all PC):

Asassins Creed
Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Dead Space
Gears of War
GTA IV
Mass Effect
Mirror's Edge
Resident Evil 5
BATMAN

Im looking forward to most of these and looks like I have plenty of hours queue'd up for entertainment, which is great since it gives me a distraction from poker lol.

Surprised you don't like mass effect. Mass effect 1 and 2 are some of my favorite single player games. I wouldnt compare it to a pure fps it's mostly an rpg with real time combat.

Assassins creed 2 is pretty awesome, i never played 1 though but i heard it was worse. Fallout 3 is great too.

I play Team Fortress 2 also for online play.

Deus Ex....what is wrong with you!?!?

oh and thief, by far the best stealth game ever made

yeah starcraft ruined all other games for me =[

the 90's was the golden age for gaming imo

console
tekken 2
resident evil 1 and 2
road rash ps1 (lol)
magic the gathering ps1
nba live 99
mgs 1 and 2
the sims

graphics and concepts blew your mind at the time they were released


pc games
diablo
sc
cs
civ

everything now is just the same shit and they cant push the console's power to it's limit like they used to

Also watching james bond movies now sucks since ALL of his gadgets are pretty much for sale online lol

Which consoles do you have?

RE5 is awesome but has no replay value. Rent it, beat it, move on.

Starcraft 2

GOGO preorder from teamliquid

god of war 1,2 and 3 will take about 40-50 hrs and worth every second
uncharted 2 is sick
ninja gaiden if you like unbelievably hard challenges
devil may cry
resistance is fun
killzone 2
youve missed a lot of games

THIS lmao

Oldies are still the best T_T all these flash graphics etc doesn't make up for the fact that the gameplay sucks a mighty fat cock

x-com : ennemy unknown (oldie)
Heroes of Newerth (for multiplay only, and needs a LOT of practice/learning)
God of war (1/2/3) definately classics that you might like

Mass effect is rly good, combat did take some 'acceptance' imo but like above poster said its more of an rpg w action. I tried ME when I first bought it and was like 'wtf this combat is gay, peace' but then I gave it a second chance and it caught my attention, I finished it. Same thing is happening with dragon age: origins right now actually.

I have a similar gaming history, played a ton of SC and CS (and D3 and some MMO's for me), but the best times I have had in the past 2 years are with games like Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge and ME. I've found the sort of pick-up-and-play without having to seriously hone skills is the most appealing to me now.. just a waste of time to get frustrated a lot with a difficult videogame.. real life has enough of that shit now that I'm in adulthood. Then again, here I am saying this when I have been playing heroes of newerth for the past 8 months and it is the ULTIMATE rage-inducing skill oriented game on the planet if you let it get you. Fucking heroes of newerth.

Really I think the most important thing is a novel concept/gameplay type, engrossing story/atmosphere, or exceptionally well executed gameplay. So mirror's edge was good because it was a well-done game with unique/new gameplay. Portal same deal.

I've also spent a lot of time on civilization 4.. idk if you have played civ before but its mad good..

I really want to play assasin's creed 2..

IDK just my semi buzzed ramblings.

You should try Team Fortress 2.What i like most in this game is that team work is the key to achieve your goal instead of just owning ppl
I'm also playing Dragonage origins (rpg) and i love it so far

Suggestions:

Assassin's creed 1 and 2 (2 is better but you need to play 1 for the story to make sense)
Halo 3 (get it for the multiplayer. Campaign blows imo)
MW2 FTW
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Bad Company

If you want something really old go play Mario RPG for the SNES

final fantasy 13 was awesome. it only takes 50 hours to finish the story and 50 more to finish the missions, so ur not gonna throw ur life away like u would playing some other RPG.

im playing dragon age right now and its alright. It's an unofficial sequel to the baldurs gate series.

I'd recommend trying both. You can download dragon age on torrents.

Dragon age was cool till you could play 1 char and beat the game on hardest I thought, stopped around level 16

Also same problem, all other games became zzz superfast after sc, like I get bored and just, man this is shit so fast in every game, so last 5-7 years I stopped using consoles completly!

I miss the time where I was craving to play and I couldn't decide wether I wanted to play sc, d2 or Heroes xD

so true ^

Btw , i ve been thinking over it and other than the fact no decent games like that are produced no more,
there's the factor we getting older that stops us from enjoying games like in the past
plus pokerz!

Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 (yeah you need a wii)

pure gaming joy
