I recently played The Wolf Among us Episode 1, loved it,

Aside from the Walking Dead, Bioware RPG's, Witcher series and Deus Ex, are there any other story-driven games out there based around the elements of rich dialogue and decision making?

nope^^
you pretty much listed all the good ones, at least of recent years.

Stuff like The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Stalker, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning or even Dishonored do have some decision making and/or dialogue, but it's not really their focus and as a result not of comparable quality to the ones you mentioned.

Hey,

I'm looking for some suggestions for good co-operative games or games that have some sort of form of this. Besides the obvious suggestions ofc (Payday 2, SR III/IV, Borderlands 1/2). Looking for something that can stay interesting for a bit at least .

[Deleted]

Civ 5, Diablo 3 or Torchlight 2, League or Dota 2, Terraria, Dungeon Defenders, Left 4 Dead franchise, Portal 2, Minecraft, ...

If you would say a genre I'd probably find more.

Also, this topic will be placed into the megathread much likely which is a sticky in the video games discussion group.

i'd also add Path of Exile if you like the Diablo/Torchlight kind of game, Smite for a more casual and somewhat different "moba" game (compared to LoL and DotA 2), Orcs Must Die 2 (2players only) or Sanctum 2 for trap/tower defense with some action, Trine 2 (must have 3 players) or Magicka (3 or more recommended, but not needed) for generally great co-op indie games.
Starcraft II, Total War: Shogun 2 (2 players for campaign) and Anno 2070 (or the bit older 1404) are all also great strategy games that work well in co-op, although with big differences in gameplay between each other.

Hello MMOC I was wondering if there are any good RPG's out there (both MMO and single player games) with a class that plays and feels like a Ret Paladin in WoW? Thanks.

EDIT: Could even be like a Prot Paladin but I would rather have a 2h.

[Dilbon]

DDO, but the general concensus there is that paladins suck.

Rift has a Paladin Soul under the Warrior class. It mostly Sword and Board.
Temple of Elemental Evil (D and D) also has a Paladin class.
Diablo 2
Everquest I think
Fire Emblem (mounted combat class, the promoted form of the Cavalier class, no magic tough)

Let me see what I've got...

Guitar hero is great for small groups (up to 4). Hilarious if you let someone sing. Pretty low-budget if you can find one on e-bay.
Mario party: just great for parties! Take turns and have fun!

Super Smash Brothers: A must have! Not too expensive either.

Legend of zelda: the reason I have a wii myself. Bests games ever! (imo) The story is great, the feeling is great, especially in twilight princess.
Resident evil: they have some very nice exclusives for the wii that only cost 10-20 euro, get one!

Edit: The Wii U is backwards compatible with Wii games.
The Wii is backwards compatible with Gamecube games.
Gamecube games do not work on the Wii U. Consider this while buying games.

for mmos, the guardian in Guild Wars 2 makes for an amazing paladin-like-class. shield, hammer, greatsword, divine runes, lots of light and blue fire! =)

some pictures of mine:

don't mind the sparkles^^


as for singleplayer, i know i mention it all the time in this thread, but: Skyrim - if you are willing to take some time to get some good mods for it, like additional spells, some sweet looking armor/weapons and for being able to cast some spells without having to unequip your weapon every goddamn time.

[Chingylol]

Picked up Black Ops 2 on sale last week and it's pretty good. This is the first COD game I've ever bought since I've always played the Battlefield series. Can anyone recommend which DLC is the best for Black Ops 2? Keep in mind that I've never played COD before so any maps that are old that have been rehashed from previous COD's isn't necessary a bad thing since they would be brand new to me.

[obdigore]

I would say the first one, the maps were pretty good and it introduced the Peacekeeper SMG, which I enjoyed.

However; I didn't get the third and fourth map packs for Blops2, so maybe those maps were super-duper-amazingsauce.

Hey thanks for the reply how is GW2 now? I got it when it first came out but stopped playing not long after. Does it have a lot of things to do at max level?

[Valeron]

depends on the kinds of things you are looking for at max level but yeah there is plenty of stuff to do

i haven't played in a while actually, but i hear it's getting updated pretty regularly. i'm sure the people here would be happy to give you all the details^^

I'm tied between getting the Trackmania 2 trilogy for £15 or Anon 2070 complete for £19.99.

Trying the demo of the later, played the demos of the former and found them very entertaining but I'm not sure of Trackmania's long-term value. Anyone care to enlighten me on this choice?

i'm not a fan of racing games in general, so i can't give you an actual comparison (and the value is very subjective anyway) but Anno 2070 (like all Annos, really) is definitely a great game.
strategy games in general and Anno in particular are also great for long term value, as you will easily spend several dozen or even hundreds of hours in a single game.

word of warning though, it uses it's own secondary drm (in addition to steam) that requires you to register and login, which can make reinstalling it somewhere else quite annoying.

I see, demo was fine though very limited. I have to ask: Does it suffer from "now what?" syndrome? I played Tropico a while back but it got to a point where my city was running perfectly without any input and it generated a "now what?" moment for me leading to me just stopping altogether. Mind it -did- give me around 10-15 hours total for that save alone.

you will be at several points where you don't have to really do much to, like, not lose the game. that's just a matter of having positive income and properly setup supply routes to support your current status quo.
but if you want to actually continue to grow your settlement, unlock new buildings, keep a strong military presence, etc you will virtually always have something to do, especially when you're playing against hard ai opponents that will most likely declare war on you and invade your island if you can't keep up with them. plus you get small quests every few minutes. you don't have to do them, but your ai opponents may dislike you even more for it, not to mention you lose out on some nice rewards.

a single "continous game" save can last up to over a hundred hours and there is virtually always something to do, even if you don't always have to do something. also, you can speed up time^^
