I have a few weeks off school and i am in a need for some new gaming experiences. I was thinking something adventure-oriented; recently ive enjoyed Deus Ex (the original), Diablo II and Baldurs gate II. Does anyone know of any good games similar to that? The only real limitation is tthe compuiter. Fusion E-350 / 4GB / 500GB / HD6310 / 12.1" / Win 7 HP (+1,6ghz i believe) Recommend me something good that i can play lag-free!! Cheerio   | ||

Hit up some Brood War play through WC3 campaign, its fun stuff :D Total Annihilation Get an emulator and play through basically anything from 1988-2000ish Borderlands Fallout if you don't want the multiplayer of Borderlands ;D Plants vs Zombies There's a handful! | ||

If you beat that then you can do Riven: The Sequel to Myst. This will take you a long fucking time guaranteed. | ||

Just trolling, I would recomend Silver though. It's an easy going RPG and one of few that I have enjoyed. | ||

Another one is Giants: Citizen Kabuto, really hilarious game..similiar to MDK2 if you ever played. It's more action oriented, with funny characters and a cute story. | ||

Carmageddon Civilization II Heroes of Might and Magic II and III MechWarrior II Not similar to the games you listed but as far as I'm concerned, they are amazing games that you should try ^^ | ||

So therefore I would say go for the KOTOR 1 (original whatever it was), excellent game. Im huge Fallout series fan, been playing fallout since first one so ofc Im biased towards them and recommend to play them, but like I said. You really need the mindset that you want to play them. Fallout 2 is my all time favorite game for sure. Cant go wrong with it unless you hate bad graphics so much that you cant bring yourself to play the game. If anyone ever needs help with the original fallouts, playing first time / whatever, wants to discuss, feel free to drop me PM. Happy to help. | ||

Actually might want to get the C&C: First Decade Anthology. Comes with all the C&C games before C&C3. If you like RTS's that is. Edit: These might be too old to run on your computer, but check out all the old Sim games, like SimTower, SimFarm, SimCopter and SimCity 2000. | ||

Heroes of might and magic 3 (and get the huge mod called " in the wake of gods", this is a must) if you liked baldurs gate and diablo 2, then why not play Nox (another diablo clone `) and the original diablo. | ||

Nox has - No random stats on items, but a wide variety of weapons that have unique feels and abilities from one another. Weapons actually fell different, and not just in attack speed. Similar to KoA: Reckoning where switching to a new weapon type can completely change the feel of the game. - Three classes, each with their own path through the game so you haven't actually played the whole game until you have played all three classes. - A somewhat interactive environment. You can use telekenetic abilities to push boulders and other things around, or just move them with your character. There were some puzzle making use of this. - Mutiple level environments. Not levels like missions, but levels like floors in a building. There are elevators, holes to fall in, teleports and the like to move between the levels. - Quick mana recharge by standing next to mana stones in the environment that would recharge themselves as well over time. - A lot more characters in the world. Diablo 2 felt like there was less than maybe 50 people living in the whole world. It was barren just about. Not many (any?) secret areas either, whereas Nox had a ton of them and they were really cleverly hidden. - (Unfortunately dead) multiplayer with actual deathmatch, capture the flag, football (soccer kind), team DM, spectating, huge number and variety in maps to play on, and it's all extremely fast paced. - 1024x768, and it look great even today honestly. I would have to play it again to really remember everything, but Nox is not a Diablo 2 clone. It's a game in the same genre, sure, but it's not a clone in any way. Honestly, it's hard to admit because D2 is awesome but Nox blew D2 out of the water for me. When you get down to it, on a technical level Nox makes D2 look kind of primitive. Still <3 Diablo though. | ||

The voice acting may be terrible but the gameplay and graphics are amazing seeing that it came out in 2001. | ||

Forgot to mention that i am a semi pro at Heroes III. Have finished all the expansions and all the maps, took a while but soo worth it! For some reason im against mods since i think it might ruin the "idea" of what certain games stand for. Thinking of Morrowind actually - remember that i couldnt play it when it was released due to bad computer (For the record: i+ve never had a good computer for its time since 2000-ish, thats why i still only play Broodwar and HII i think^^). Carmageddon is insanely fun, used to play it back in the day alot. Well, thanks for all the tips, especially the onces with motivation to why its a good game. Ill try to keep you posted on how things goes. Always amazing to discover great games, regardless of age. Its like reading a classic novel i think. Cheers! | ||

You should play HoMM 2, I feel like the campaign is much better than any in 3. I've also beaten both games entirely ^^ SO MUCH OF MY CHILDHOOD, GONE... Monkey Island 1 and 2 are probably the best adventure games there are. Off-the-wall humor and puzzles, shit that makes no sense that will keep you stumped for days... + Show Spoiler [Monkey Island mini-spoiler, largely rage] + WTF RUBBER CHICKEN WITH A PULLEY WTF IF 3 IS 5 AND 2 IS 1 THEN WHAT IS 0?! FUUUU YOU FIGHT LIKE A DAIRY FARMER USING THE STEPS OF THE DANCE IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE SAFE, BIGGEST TROLL IN THE WORLD OMG GET THE DUDE OUT OF JAIL LOL U GET 1 CLUE FROM EXTENDED CONVERSATION WITH A RANDOM PUB THAT IS ALL GLHF NOOBZ | ||

I feel that its very hard to even kill the rats :/ My biggest tip/pointer is to not look up tips/pointers or guides. I was having a lot of fun in that game, but once I found out what I was doing was not ideal, my OCD kicked in and I got obsessed with character optimization and that's where a role playing game becomes not fun. | ||

That game still baffles me with its stunning graphics and VR technology, so far ahead of its time (1995), and an amazing storyline. It is, for me, by far, the best game ever made. | ||

A very good game, but not the best IMHO. And I've also played many, many other games, but BiT takes them all out of the podium. | ||
