I need suggestions

platypus · 5 Mar 2007 at 16:31

My gaming is currently pretty much dead.

Aside from playing through Hitman:Bloody Money for roughly the fifth time, which I'm enjoying thoroughly, I am a gaming hermit. Gamus Impotentus.

I'm getting pretty excited about Hellgate London, even though it was pushed back until December, but other then that I'm at a loss. I finally closed my wow account, as due to certain factors (GB Trials coming up in August, GF, various other things) I no longer have time to endgame raid, and despite all Blizzards protestations, I do not find the casual aspect at all interesting. Supreme Commander just doesnt appeal, for all its rave reviews and fancy looks. I've had no interest in the C&C series since the first game, and I have no one to play RON - T&P with

So I'm basically looking for a mostly offline game. Preferrably one that has replayability, so I guess that leaves most FPS games out (HL2 for example was pretty pedestrian and did not make me wish to replay it).

I'll be reinstalling Deus Ex sometime this week to play through that again, but just wondering what people would suggest.

CoH is an excellent RTS.

Lets pretend for a second (a brief one mind you!) that I don't know what CoH stands for..

Morrowind or Oblivion perhaps?

Hehe sorry

It's different from your average RTS. It isn't the generic build base, build a big army as fast as possible then zerg the enemy. There might be a demo knocking about.

Titan Quest + Expansion.

Replaying Morrowind is a possibility yes, sadly Oblivion didn't convince me I want to play it again.

Already got, and will be playing it with a good friend, but I'm after more offline/single player games (I found TQ not that exciting unless played online).

Definitely would back up the CoH suggestion.

I've never liked those types of games, but that one completely hooked me in. Spent something like 23 hours in 5 days, completing it.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic perhaps?

Apparently its quite buggy though (I havnt experienced that many bugs) however the gameplay is awesome and the character routes you can take are ace too.

Or, ive just read about Jade Empire. Never played it myself though id assume it to be along the lines of Knights of the Old Republic 1&2 (another 2 suggestions).

Another rpg - Neverwinter Nights 2.

Hope that they help

Yeah, I found Dark messiah really fun. Probably one of my favourite first-persons from last year. I replayed through it 3 times. There is a demo of that on steam.

Got and finished NWN2, it sadly doesn't have the replayability of NWN1, what is it with games these days?

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic looks decent, could give that a go.

Will definitely give CoH a punt.

Time to reinstall SCUMM™ and play Monkey Island/II and Indiana Jones again methinks!
