HL style Games
You dudes play some wide variety of games so I am wondering, what kind of good HL2 style games are out there these days.
I have finished all I can stand of Fallout 3 and kind of want this style going forward. Strait up shooters without some good story lines get boring to me. Unless is Duke Nukem of course. I already played these guys: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - loved it Fallout 3 - loved it HL2 - hell yeahs Prey - who knew aliens can be so fucked up Command and Conquer Generals - guess I like those too. On the list - just haven't got around to them yet Red Alert 3 Command and Conquer 3 - long live Kane! There was some new X-Com game coming out as well.... EDIT// Holy s, I can't believe I haven't played bio-shock yet. Last edited by Ihmhi; 02-22-2009 at 11:41 AM. |

Red Alert 3 is atrocious!
I can't recommend any games, because I only play storyless fps games (quake 3, tfc, warsow (in order of superbity!)). Most other games bore the crap out of me; I can cope with few rts games for an hour or two before I fall back to mindless fps murder :P |

you ever play painkiller? that's a fun old school style shooter with pretty good graphics and unbelievably large bosses.
Farcry was a good one. Don't know about FC2 but i've heard it's not as good. The Witcher? Some good combat but alot of going back and forth. Most of the game takes place in 1 town. i've been curious about HellGate London but haven't picked it up yet. Anyone play that one? Turok is supposed to be a pretty decent FPS but I haven't played it yet. There's always the Halo series but I didn't like those too much. they tend to get very repetative. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. -Icculus |

Edit: For comparison, I can play Dead Space, with decent options, without a problem, and that same website says I don't even make the minimum requirements for it.

definitely check out painkiller and the battle out of hell expansion. theres a mod or other expansion called overdose as well, but i havent played that so i cant say if its any good or not, but the original game and BOOH are very fun.

You can get PK, BOOH, and OD all in one package on Steam. It's worth it.

You won't be disappointed, that's a great game. Just don't expect to run into every situation with guns blazing or you'll find yourself dead in a very short ammount of time. Use the binoculars and remember.. stealth is your friend. -Icculus |

I was a big fan of PK. I heard overdose was lame though.

I liked it, up until a point. It's a nice game, looks great, plays pretty well, and for me was fun until I started being able to predict what was coming up next. Once I figured that out, it wasn't fun for me anymore. You might have more luck than I, and a lot of people like it, so I can't really give a recommendation on how worth buying it is, since I had such varying results while playing. It did seem to have a good story though.

Do you ever go old school and just play HL1?
I love doing that. HL1, Blue Shift, and Opposing Force.... love the hell out of it all. I have the original CDs, so even when steam dies, I can still play those.

It plays very much like a Resident Evil game. The dismemberment system saves it from being run-of-the-mill, as do the unique weapons. The story is pretty minimal. There's a thread on it.

Dead Space was boring. Very very boring.

I was going to buy it, but the trailer / gameplay footage repulsed me! (most games generally do, anyway)
Painkiller is good, but I don't actually have it :P |
