I'm picking up a bunch of PC games to play


Right now on my list is:
europa universalis III and expansions (never played Europa games, but it looks very fun and challenging...and I've heard good things about it)

Mass Effect and/or The Witcher (not sure if to get both or just one...both sound really good, so I'll probably pick up both)


And thats it, so 3 games on my list that I've found so far. Any of you guys/gals recommend any others? Preferably somewhat new...not too outdated and ones that have already been released.



I like RPGs and Strategy games. I really really like Sci-Fi but fantasy/medieval games are really good too. Money isn't an issue and my PC can run any game that is out.I also like a longer played game, meaning I don't like playing for a few hours and thats it..I like to be able to play for awhile without it suddenly ending quickly. And I do like a good storyline in a RPG. As for strategy, I don't like rushing or anything...Command and Conquer is a good example, it feels like I have to rush and attack very quickly...too fast paced for me.



Thanks for any help :)

Assassins creed, Supreme Commander. Gears Of War.. Some popular titles.

Gears of War isn't an RPG, or a strategy game.

Yes but if hes into Sci Fi he probably will like it.

Mass Effect, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, Starcraft, Warcraft II, Rome Total War, Medieval Total War II, Fallout 3 looks promising but it isn't out yet.

old school septerra core?? sci fi/fantasy rpg

Age of empires 3?, I thought it was pretty good, 2 is also alright but 3 is a lot better. Eve Online is really good if you are willing to pay monthly fees.

I also want to get The Witcher or Mass Effect, WHICH ONE GUUUUUUYS.

Why not get both?


CHA......CHING!

Sins of a Solar Empire is a sci-fi strategy that has huge and long battles. Also, there's plenty of 4X strategy games that are sci-fi, like galactic civilization.

Mr. Robot was a fun platformer/RPG. Elder Scrolls:Oblivion/Morrowind, Fallout 1/2 (a bit dated) and Star Wars:KotOR are all good RPGs.

Edit:Warhammer 40k series

I say Mass Effect, It was fun on the 360....

I got bored of it after my 3rd play through, the main story line was short and I found my self running from point A to point B just to be reward with a little cash. I did make a vanguard/soldier character, it was fun combing 2 classes skill together and create a monster. :p

That's pretty much why they don't make it a 3 part game.

Bored after 3rd play through? come on.. what were you expecting, boredom after the 10th?

[QUOTE=ARandomGuy;1244813] Fallout 1/2 (a bit dated)
A bit?... Man, I want some of that stuff you're smoking...or are you just daft?

Kingdom Under Fire: A War of Heroes

Age of Empires is great.

RPG: Mass Effect or Fable (considering its near enough free now). Don't buy Assassin's Cread its good but way to easy and has no replay value.
RTS: Easy! Warcraft 3 needs to played and dawn of war is good to.

FPS (That really should be bought): Bioshock if nyour PC can handle it buy it! The Orange Box i havn't met one person that doesn't like Portal it completely kicks ass and Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 got 3rd and 1st place in PC gamer's top 100 PC games ever. Portal was 6th btw.

FPS : Bioshock, COD4, gears of war isn't a FPS , but a FPS, still god damn fun as hell. ( All vista compatible)

RTS : Warcraft 3, srsly, just get it ( Works on vista? Yesh.)

RPG : Fable's a good one, Star wars KOTOR are good but DON'T GET IF YOU HAVE VISTA, YOU HAZ BEEN WARNED. The Witcher, mass effect.

RPG: Fabal (considering its near enough free now).

The hells a fabal?

The hells a fabal?

Typo ma bad. Fable is what im trying to say. Can't wait till 2nd.

Knights of Honor is a good single player strategy, thought not many people have heard of it. You get a kingdom in Medieval Europe and play until you either conquer all of Europe or get voted Emperor. I really enjoy it. You can try the demo, it lets you play Scotland I think for a period of time until the game ends abrubtly.

Fallout 2 is old but a great classic!

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, even though a bit linear is a fun game (small though) and has nice graphics

Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 are also good ones.

Assassins Creed has one of the best graphical aspect I ever seen in a game but the gameplay/story seems linear as well but its worth it IMO

bump^ I'll check back on this after I get back from dinner, goin' to a restaurant

Okay here are mine. I'm listing two for each, at least one of each will be out already.

RTS: Company of Heroes/Dawn of War II (March 2009)

FPS: Crysis is apparently good, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 if your a tactical shooter person, and CoD4 if your a run and gunner.

RPG: The Witcher, Mass Effect, Fallout 3 (Sometime this year I can't remember the date)
