Yeah, new com!
Just wondering if you guys got any suggestions for a game to play. Anything with high graphics and lovely gameplay. I've already got Crysis, Prototype and Deadspace. Any other suggestions?

Now I`m waiting for Assassin`s Creed 2(BTW try first one) and Bioshock 2(new Big Daddy rules;).

Reply to phobia911

The earlier PainKiller games were good. Crazy as hell, non stop action and great music. Grab some of the demos. COD2 & 4. F.E.A.R.'s first one was good. Quake 4 kinda crazy and fun and somewhat epic. Got your money's worth there. The older Medal of Honor was a trend setter in it's day. Dated but you might enjoy it. Soldier of Fortune Payback. Another slightly dated game but on the fun side sorta but not memorable......... yup, I'm a FPShooter. Almost forgot DOOM 3, Crysis, and FarCry2.

i like RPG. That is role play games. i think it is more vivid and can design the role according to your own preference and can show your initiative. what's your opinion??? :hello:

Reply to joyww

COD 4 Modern Warfare is probably the best shooter out there and is not super demanding on hardware. You can run it on a 8800GT on all high settings.

COD 4 Modern Warfare 2 is now available for pre-order at walmart.com or amazon.com for $60, and you get a $20 e-gift card you can send yourself making it only $40.

I already have COD4MW. And L4D, by the way, I've had that game since the start of the year.
I'm considering Batman Arkham Asylum... is it any good? Are the graphics demanding?

Far Cry 2 was absolutely the worst game I ever played. Boringly repetitive. I got bored after about 10 hours of playing.
If I had not gotten it free with my video card I would have tried my hardest to get a refund!

But I have to say it looks bloody awesome.

After playing Crysis everything else looks so last-generation... I'm waiting for a PC game to come out and beat it.

Reply to RAHAHA

Are you interested in playing MMO's? Well if you want to try out online games I suggest you play Atlantica Online. It is a very nice game. Best for me.

Reply to captainhero

batman Arkham Asylum is nice game, not very graphics demanding as most of the games, because any game that is on x-box or PS3, the PC version doesnt require much to run it. If you want a realy great graphic game, you'll have to wait untill crysis 2 comes out, or play RTS games, otherwise you'll fall into x-box graphics game, and x-ox maxet its graphics in gears 2, so untill the release of crysis 2, or the new x-box I would expect "low" graphics for games on PC

My games recomendations are: batman, Resident evil 5, not great graphics but funny gameplay: borderlands, CoD: MW 2, Dragonage, Company of Heroes(with all its expansions), You may try order of war too (i'm downloading it, will talk about it few hours latter). Cryostasis, if you have the patience in the beggining.
I thik thats all I can mention untill new releases.

I'm currently playing Fallen Earth and I love it. It combines a first person shooter with a massively mulitplayer online role playing game. Great graphics, addictive gameplay, a deep crafting system, plus a terrific community make it the best new MMORPG in years! I have an AMD Athlon X2 5600+ 2.9ghz and a XFX Radeon HD 4870 1024mb video card and it looks great!

No, this is not the reason.

 

A PC does not need the disc to play the game, it is only used to INSTALL the game onto the hard disk from where it will always be accessed from. So if the game was released on PC as DVD format, it wouldn't matter, as the disc is only a source of installing it onto the PC, NOT for accessing it for its gaming speed/size/playback performance from the disc itself. The disc will never again be used to play the game, only a means of having to insert it in so it reads it for copyright purposes and gives an OK for the game to launch from the hard drive.

 

Just wanted to clear that up. :)

For a massive multiplayer game you might want to check out City of Heroes, its come a long way in the 4 years its been out and has pretty balanced game play. Champions online is a letdown.

If you're into RPG you could give The Witcher a try. I wouldn't say it's a true RPG, but has many of those elements.

I've been playing the enhanced edition lately, and am rather enjoying it.

The witcher is a great game. The main point of the game is not to be a great RPG game, but have a great story, the way you take desisions it affects the gameplay, not only killing monsters and lvling. If you like great story games you should try the witcher

@jay: did you buy The Witcher EE??? (Never found a way to use the patch 1.4 without buying the game)

Reply to santa2142

Far Cry 2 is absolutely crap,just nice graphics,but if the game is crap what do u need good graphics for?
at the end of the game yo can rather suicide or go jail...(shiit)
so disapointing...
BF2142 is actually very entertaining,but it's not that good with those hackers around the game,aimbot users,and much more..
definately will get Bad Company 2.played the1 on xbox but the kits suck + the spotting mthod too,(need to keep looking at them for ages!)
and the missile launchers dont follow the hlicopters if someone else's didn't shoot at it with a tracert...
a very good racing game is GRID,but it's not good to play online.
Forget all the GRAW's, thy're all too hard and BORING
Burnout paradise is very funny game as well,the crashes are amazing...
All the NFS's are just CRAP
I'm looking forward to see some CRYSIS 2 trailers,
R6Vegas 2 is not bad..
Also loocking forward to play BF1943....
I'm not sure about the MODERN WARFARE's yet,i played COD4 and i thought it was SHHHH...
If you're going to play shooters, the best way to play them is on a PC.Consoles suck,40 years to aim.... :hello:

Yes, Enhanced Edition. I just applied patch 1.5, and then the Directors Cut patch (returns all the content that was censored in the North American version).

This game has been sat on my 'to play' pile for a long time, but I got lost in MTW2 for quite a while. So far, The Witcher seems a great game. I never played the original, but from what I've heard, the Enhanced Edition addresses many of the problems (including long load times) that were found in the original.
