Recommend me some PC games

[Deleted]

I'm so bored. This last half-year has only been WoW, TF2 and Skyrim, and frankly, I need something new. I'm sick of shooters and RPGs, and I'm not too keen on indie games, so yeah, I need some good PC games. Any recommendations?

[Fuger]

StarCraft 2
The Witcher 2
Battlefield 3
Tribes Ascend
Magicka
Diablo 3 (From the short Beta I would say it looks promising)

I understand that you said you are sick of shooters, RPG's and Indie games however, that does not really leave much for the PC market. What, Want me to recommend Track Mania?

You cant dismiss indie games purely on that basis, so therefore you have lost any credibility in your opinions on what you do or not like.
They cover a huge variety of genres and have been pretty successful with selected titles.
We can't help you until you get over your own blatant bias towards established names.

If only people would say what genre they prefer playing... well that would make it a lot easier to give u some games

Yeah, saying you don't like RPGs, shooters, and indie games really kinda lowers the amount of PC games to reccomend quite a bit.

Do you enjoy PvP? Might give League of Legends a go. It is a free to play game that the focus is team based PvP. Very popular, but if you don't care for PvP or get frustrated easily, it may not be for you. Maybe check out some flight sims or driving games? Sports? Maybe do some console gaming...

Warcraft 3 - Though you could argue this is an RPG inside a RTS, it is one of the best PC games released. Its a game that never gets old for me.

Dirt 1-3 - Amazing offroad racing (Rally) games, decent semi-simulation physics that can work for everyone, great graphics, decent progress modes, the gymkhana freerun mode in Dirt 3 can keep you busy for hours of fun

Titan Quest - A Diablo style hack and slash game from a few years ago, but amazingly well done, this is one of my favourite games, though with Diablo 3 coming out in a few days, you might want to save your hunger for that. Arguably an RPG game though.


To be honest most games have RPG elements and most of the big name games fall into either RPG or FPS, there are a bunch of great RTS games out there, a load of great racing games (though to enjoy them properly you need a wheel) and not much else that doesnt fall somewhere between.


When I look at my games collection it is mostly... FPS, RPG's and racing games, with a few RTS games thrown in.

Racing games like

Dirt 1-3
F1 2010, 2011
Test Drive Unlimited 2
GRID
Rfactor, Rfactor 2 (open beta)
Ferrari Virtual Academy (single player driving simulator - no racing, just stopwatch)
Netkar Pro
iRacing (Subscription based competitive online simulator)
Richard Burns Rally (Rally Simulation, this shit is for the hardcore only)
Project Cars - This is a community driven racing game in development by SMS, you pay and you get to test and put your opinion in a community, you get the game at the end + return on investment. Currently has the best graphics seen in any racing game, great physics and even the Alpha is a fairly polished game, gameplay and graphics wise.

Simraceway - F2P online racing simulator, less hardcore than iRacing, not the best graphics in the world but its great fun to play with good physics and its F2P.

Shame you are not "keen on" RPG's or shooters. Would've recommended you Left 4 dead 2 (if you have 2+ friends that have it) and Deus Ex:HR. Both are really good games and Deus ex is almost nothing like Skyrim when it comes to RPG elements.

But if you have decent PC:
*Alan wake - Cheap on steam and is nicely crafted title and I've found little wrong in it (maybe dodging system or so but that can be part of horror aspect you know "hero cant be too powerful" (horror games arent known for their easy controls, more about limiting)).
If you like thriller/horror in style of older silent hill's (but less clunky), twin peaks and twilight zone stuff.
*Batman arkham asylum/city - either one. Pretty solid titles. Dont really need to "like batman" to like these.
*Pre-order Torchlight 2 and you get Torchlight1 free - If you like "dungeon crawlers" (diablo style). 2 games for price of half full-priced game, why not?
*Portal 2, Half life 2..well almost any valve game - Shouldnt really explain these. HL2 is one of the best games I've played - granted its kinda old but still solid and has good ideas on design side. Portal 2 is fun "puzzle game" and should soon get level editor thats simple to use and share.

*Dark souls (on pc later this year but is on xbox/ps3..) - Will get you some challenge and you can either grind yourself more powerful or if you are skilled enough you can run thro it.

The walking dead game that recently released is pretty good. It's made by telltale. It's very short, but will come in 6 episodes.

It's more of an interactive novel instead of a game though, most of the time spent is talking.

If you haven't played dragon age i strongly recomend it.
