I'm looking for new games to play. I got Minecraft, and it's fun to a degree, but a bit too open-ended for me. If there are free/cheap mods to get, I'm open to suggestions. My brother also recommended Skyrim, and I generally like that genre, but with my current mood it's also too open-ended for me right now, and I can't get into it. Too many possible quests, played for 2 hours and have like 15 optional quests already. Don't feel like reading a website full of info/guides for something that huge right now. Same goes for Fallout 3: enjoyed it, but it was so open-ended as I tried to do every little side quest that by the end I was a bit worn out from it.
I'm looking for something with a great story, but not something that is hugely open-ended. Most recently, Bioshock Infinite really hit the spot.
My PC basics: Pentium Dual Core E6500, 4 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Games I really enjoy: Bioshock (esp. Infinite), XCOM series, Plants Vs. Zombies, Master of Orion series, Unreal Tournament (1999-2004), COD 1 and BF 1 (haven't played any of the newer ones), Diablo (2 more than 3), Civ 1 and 2, Medieval: Total War 1, Fallout 3, Deus Ex 1, Mechwarrior 1-4
Games I'm considering: Civ 4 or 5, Child of Light, new Tomb Raider, Child of Light, Mechwarrior Online. Also, any COD or BF game, but I'm at a loss for which one to pick.
Games that irked me: Arkham Asylum and Mass Effect 1 (odd camera angles, made more for console than PC controls). I realize the Mass Effect series has a great, long story, and I may try it again, but would have to start over because I hated sniper, need a spray gun with that odd camera work.
