Anybody familiar with this game knows I mean business. I've been out of the gaming loop for a while. Any new titles out there as fun as this late 90's gem? |

New games are about "cool guns," so you're out of luck. |

im out of game cycle too but i find it really good now. Years ago games got ballz, like amiga longplayes (dune,rise of the dragon etc.) these were the perls and still are for me. And that new mega realistic game Crysis, yeah it look nice but what is so great about trying to make game mega realistic, i preffer to take my gun, jump on the street and kill couple of idiots. much refreshing :) |

I've tried playing Planescape Torment twice, I've enjoyed it both times, but both times I lost interest around the halfway point. It's strange, I've finished countless RPGs, but never a top down one like Torment, or any of the Baulders Gates, or NWN, or Divine Divinity. I just lose interest on those for some reason. The most recent RPG I completed was The Witcher, which was good but had some problems and I didn't like the ending much. There's always World Of Warcraft, if you have the time for it. I don't care much for the hardcore "raid scene," but I do enjoy leveling and going through the new zones. Same goes for the original Everquest, which I havent played in 5 or 6 years. There's Halflife 2 (orange box), Super Mario Galaxy (if you have a wii), Pokemon (for the ds- if you've completely given up on trying in society), or some old school LucasArts adventure games like the Monkey Island series, Full Throttle, or Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis. Lots of other options. And agreed, SoF2 is one of the better multiplayer shooters. It was probably my favorite after Quake 2. |

Speaking of ye olde Black Isle, Fallout 3 is on the way. Might be good if Bethesda learned some lessons from Oblivion. I'm cautiously optimistic about F3 and the new Deus Ex 3. ''And that new mega realistic game Crysis, yeah it look nice but what is so great about trying to make game mega realistic'' The game isn't mega-realistic, you're pretty much a superhero. Old games have shitty physics and this game has awesome fun physics and crazy abilities, that's the main appeal, not the realism. |

Although my favorite PC game since Deus Ex is probably S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Nothing else even comes close. Play dat |

It's probably my favourite game of all time. At the end, i was closer to crying, than i've ever been from seeing any movie, or reading any book. It's simply that good. I guess you already played fallout 1 & 2, so nothing new there (also very very very very good games). Oblivion is to huge to get into, for my taste. Mass Effect is supposed to be good, but you need an Xbox. I myself, have been playing old Super nintendo games, on an emulator. If you haven't tried Chrono Trigger, youre in for a treat. Trust me on this one! |

I never finished a single PC RPG, I don't think... I started Baldur's Gate at some point, and Newerwinter Nights, and Morrowind... Somehow I never got into them... I guess I've been too preoccupied over the years with console RPG's, including the aforementioned Chrono Trigger. Stuff like Deus Ex really excites me, because it manages to incorporate certain role-playing gameplay mechanics into a straightforward FPS... But I guess I can't miss out on Fallout, so that's eventually going to have to be played. |
||||||||

You should certainly check out Mass Effect then! Chrono trigger is the shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'd recommend Mass Effect to anyone that liked Deus Ex because it ''manages to incorporate certain role-playing gameplay mechanics into a straightforward third person shooter''. They really are very similar. Oh man oh shit, why is Fallout, Deus Ex, System Shock, Starcraft etc all getting updated, but not the best PC series ever, Thief? :_-( It's second only to Metal Gear in my heart. |

I guess they kind of tried that with Assassins Creed, but it's not the same. I think i would have the same feeling about a new version of Thief, as i'm having right now with Fallout 3. Very anxious :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Assassin's Creed was a bitter disappointment for me because of that very reason... I desperately wanted it to be Thief for a new era, and it just wasn't, despite some absolutely brilliant ideas and concepts. The mission design was just bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I seriously doubt anyone could ever recreate the odd vibe that the Thief games gave out. Brilliant games. They were groundbreaking at the time. I don't think any other game has managed to make me nerveous the way that game did! |

All the zombie missions are unbearably tense, especially the cathedral from Thief 1. Shalebridge Cradle from Thief 3 was right up there too. But even the missions robbing normal people in their normal estates are scary... sneaking around in first person is so visceral and nerve wracking. You can't magically see around corners like every other stealth game. There was nothing like that back then and there still isn't. I thin I'm in the minority that feels Thief 3 was just as good as the first two, because of the Cradle and missions like the Overlook Mansion. Finding the hysterical grieving seafarer's widow up in her top floor balcony and feeling guilt over all the thieving I just did. |

I played the original Thief and have very fond memories of it... I never got as far as the third installation. The game is like the anti-Doom: you do NOT just go from room to room and shoot people. Refreshing. |

Thanks Ophecks, DirtyPriest, and Box Bob; recommendations much appreciated. Chrono Trigger is a hallmark of my youth. I'm stoked to check out Mass Effect, Deus Ex, and the Fallouts. |

I used to play a lot of RPGs when I was younger, but not so much nowadays. Fallout 1 & 2 are probably my all-time favorite RPG games. I recommend these games to everyone who has a slight interest in RPGs. They're turn-based, and this can take some time getting used to. But once you get into the the gameplay and story, however, you can't stop playing. |

I refuse to read the long winded replies in this thread, but will instead recommend Vampire Bloodlines. Most underrated, overlooked game ever. Really passionate game making in action! I think most RPGs work the best with established licenses/franchises, like Bioware/Black Isle working in AD&D/Forgotten Realms and Troika with the VTM RPG. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And Bioware's Star Wars games too. They have much less 'forced' backstory with those games, compared to trying to cram a shitload of establishment into their new concepts. |

You should really get Fallout 2, ASAP |
