Need a new pc game to play! Suggestions?

Sniper Elite V2 and 3
Tom's Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist

Both have singleplayer and 2-player co-op campaigns. They have been on sale recently on Steam.

Splinter Cell focusses on stealth, unlockable upgrades, specific game modes. Some sniping and other combat types.

Sniper Elite is a WW2 sniper sim, custom difficulty levels and realistic bullet physics. Can be as easy or as hard as you like for the challenge.

Both run fantastic on my FX 8 core and GTX 970 @ 1080p on Ultra.

Counter Strike Global Offensive is a must, i think it is about $15-$20 on steam, I am from the UK, so I am not so sure, but it is a great FPS game, it is also unique, and addictive in a strange way, but a great game and a must have!

Oh oops, my bad, yeah agreed, it is a great game, but me personally, I am a huge battlefield fan, specially bad company 2.

You should give dying light a try. It's alot of fun to play through in either coop or alone. It's a little demanding though so depending on your specs you may need to turn a few things down

That's too bad. Dying light is awesome and looks fantastic. You should look into rocket league maybe. That game is stupid popular online

The Mass Effect games are RPGs, the first one more so. Without spoiling anything, they're about travelling around the galaxy using an ancient transport network, dealing with an increasingly ominous threat. If you like sci-fi, I'd highly recommend them all. I consider the first game to be the best for story, the second game to be best for character development and the third best for combat. They're all magnificent games though. The second and third games are almost identical in terms of gameplay. The first game is very different, with a bigger emphasis on exploration. If you do get them, make sure you get all of the story DLC for the second and third games. It adds some really good stuff.

I was also going to recommend Sniper Elite V2 and 3. V2 is less about stealth and more about marksmanship. In many cases you'll be forced into situations where it's more of a shooting gallery than a stealth game. It's one of my favourite games of all time. The third game is much more focused on stealth. Regarding the sidearm, if you take a silenced pistol you can put more emphasis on stealth. If not, it will be more of a reserve emergency weapon if you don't have a submachine gun.

There's also Zombie Army Trilogy, made by the same people as the Sniper Elite games. It's essentially Sniper Elite but with no stealth and thousands of zombies. I finished it recently, and absolutely loved it. It's not an easy game though.

Another game I can recommend is Spec Ops: The Line. It isn't new (I think it's from 2010), but it has excellent gameplay and a fantastic story.

I know you said you don't really like anything with swords, but I can highly recommend Skyrim. With mods it's my favourite game of all time. I've completely lost myself in that world, and I've never roleplayed a game so much. I had a sleeping routine (in bed around 21:30, up around 06:30), I'd plan my journeys, making sure I ate enough and carried survival gear, I had a horse to move around quickly, which I accidentally shot in the bum after spending nearly 200 hours with him by my side (I'll never forget you Pritt Stick ) and I had my own house where I stored all my shiny trinkets. And it's beautiful.

What about puzzle games? The two Defense Grid games are excellent Tower Defense games. I can also recommend Kerbal Space Program, one of the most satisfying games I've ever played.

Fallout 3 didn't interest me very much either. Until I played it. It was more or less all I played for 8 months.

You're very welcome.

I haven't played Half Life 2, but it has been recommended to me numerous times. The first game gave me the worst motion sickness I've ever experienced, so I haven't gone near the second one. However, I think the first Portal is built on the same engine, and that didn't really give me any issues. I'd highly recommend that and the second one. I've never laughed so much while playing a game.

I recently played Bioshock, but quit less than half way through. It's very atmospheric, but I found the gameplay repetitive, the story seemed drawn out and I found the constant backtracking irritating. Just not for me.

I'd recommend Fallout 3. A huge world to explore, a character that you can customise to however you want to play, tons of stuff to do and pitch-black humour. I'll be replaying this soon.

As for Mass Effect, I'd recommend starting with the first one. It is very different to the later 2 though. I know someone who has only played the third one, and considers it one of their all-time favourite games. I know someone who likes these kinds of games but couldn't get into the first one so didn't try the later ones. I also know people that, like me, started at the beginning and fell in love with the whole franchise. It may be worth watching gameplay footage of each game to decide where you should start.

Spec Ops The Line is a great game, but doesn't really have much replayability. It does however have some of the best storytelling I've seen in a game, along with exciting and varied combat.

I love stealth and marksmanship (two big factors as to why I love the Sniper Elite games), but I've not seen many positive things about the Sniper series of games. From the footage I've seen, they don't really look very good.

I haven't played the Ghost Recon games but I love that sort of stuff, have them all and fully intend to play them at some point. I played Conflict: Global Storm on my PS2 and thouroughly enjoyed it every time.

The Splinter Cell games are amongst my all-time favourites. I've only played the first 4, though I have the fifth (Conviction) and sixth (Blacklist) installed and ready to go. I tend to play the Splinter Cell games in winter, when the nights are long. I'll turn off all the lights and play in the dark.

We seem to like the same kinds of games. I intend to play Max Payne 3 at some point, so maybe that's something you would also enjoy. Did you try Tomb Raider? That is a magnificent game. As is Deus Ex Human Revolution. You can play that stealthily. It's also one of the most atmospheric games I've ever played. There are also the Assassin's Creed games, though I've only played the first 4, and only enjoyed the first 3. Batman Arkham Asylum perhaps? Some of the finest voice acting I've ever witnessed in a game, fantastic gameplay and really good stealth options.

If you want strategy there are the Supreme Commander games. They aren't new by any means, but they're very good and apparently still very active online. The most recent XCOM games (Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within) are also excellent.

If you want to see what GTA is like with the "Epicness" setting at "Whattheholyfuzzballsjusthappened?!?", try Just Cause 2.

Do you have to get only one game? You could probably get 5-10 of these older titles for the same price as a single modern one.
