Call me a casual, but the Mass Effect trilogy was my favorite gaming experience ever.

Super casual detected.
Some rpg recommendations for pc to stream, Fallout, System Shock 2, Planescape Torment, Dragon Age (both are really good, with the first one with better story, 2nd with better gameplay.), KotOR, and some of the baulders gat series.

Mass Effect is great. Thinking about buying the collection for the PS3. Ending was lame but the journey was amazing.

Shut your dirty mouth, they are not similar in the slightest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not trying to be judgemental, it's just the wording of "single-player co-op" left me puzzled.

Mass effect 2 is indeed really good and you should def. play it. Its funny because I tried going back to it after playing 3 a lot (including probably triple digit hours of multiplayer) and I had the hardest time playing it. The moving felt so stiff + no rolling, and how spells and effects affected things differently took a lot of time getting used to again.

Also guys I noticed that I had an email from Newsletter@email.blizzard.com sitting in my spam with a key to the heartstone beta, is this legit? That email looks suspicious as fuck

I prefer consoles because I grew up with controller in hand (even though some of my first real games were Half Life and Starcraft). Playing with a controller feels more comfortable for me with most genres, aside from some FPSes (anything requiring a high degree of aim needs a mouse) and MMOs/MOBAs (though Smite would likely work with a controller). Action games feel more fluid on a controller, and RPGs feel more comfortable as well, other than typing screens. Even the more action/less precision-centric FPSes feel more comfortable with a controller since I grew up with Nightfire, Perfect Dark and Halo.

I play many of my computer games with controllers, as well. Even played most of KS with a controller for the hell of it.

Only JRPGs and some Action RPGs. Tactics/turn-based strategy or isometric action RPGs (e.g. Diablo) suit Mouse+Keyboard much better.

Think how much smoother the control scheme for a game like Fire Emblem would be if you could just click on unit, click on destination, click on target, rather than having to scroll square by square using the D-Pad/Joystick. It gets worse when the game is not viewed on a top-down square grid like Fire Emblem, but on an isometric diagonal grid like FFT, so you have to get used to the weirdness of one of the diagonals corresponding to a cardinal direction on the D-pad.

In fact, that raises the question of why Intelligent Systems DIDN'T do this for FE:A when the touch screen is basically an analogous control scheme to having a mouse.

@soniv I've got family in northeast Connecticut and I remember Hartford and Waterbury always being much worse than one would expect. in terms of traffic.

favorite single player experience? I don't know if I can pick one. but KotOR, Braid, and the half life series.

multiplayer experience? I have always enjoyed multiplayer more. Mario kart 64, aoe2, scbw, call of duty (the original. rifles only no crosshairs - obviously a tryhard), halo 2/3, css, sc2, super smash 64, halo reach, and now league! chronological order too.

what was your first? mine was rayman. god that game was sooooo good. I still haven't finished it haha. but it was the first game I remember thinking Dayum I need to get my hands on more games. every song in rayman is an absolute firejam too.

I hate tactics games anyway, so that's kinda moot to me. I've also never played Diablo, but if it's like LoL with an isometric view and ground targeting, then yes it would work better with mouse and keyboard.

Any game that requires a high degree of precision is obviously M/K territory. Even a lot of console shooters I find frustrating because they require more precision than the input allows.

Anything that requires a lot of constant input with moderate precision (something like Metal Gear or GTA) feels more comfortable with a controller. I like RPGs as well as things like Red Dead Redemption on console as well because I prefer my long story games to be on the couch.

I don't see GTA as a game that's better with a controller. The only reason it might feel that way is because of how liberally autoaim is used in the game (but that can be done with pretty much every FPS as well)--purely by the gameplay mechanics there's no reason why it'd be better with a controller than a shooter is.

The only reason I'd prefer a controller for GTA is because a sensible control scheme for flying airplanes/helicopters with keyboard+mouse does't exist.

What about a joystick/mouse scheme? As long as you have modifier buttons on your mouse it should be the best of both worlds?

I find analog sticks to be much more comfortable for long term world/map movement than WASD. FPS games have a lot more start/stop and additional command input. GTA is a pretty brainless run-and-gun

that's cuz CT likes to do this fun thing with high traffic areas where they go from 4 lanes of traffic + a merging lane into 2 lanes of traffic - showcased in both Waterbury and Hartford.

Also, CT DoT is notoriously useless

I actually want to build a gaming PC, I just don't have the knowledge or disposable income at the moment. I usually prefer controllers but admit a mouse is better for FPS
