I want to play a classic pc game

[Rage85]

Something similar to half-life 2, a classic which will still be enjoyable to play now, any ideas? Fallout? Quake? Diablo?

 

[Brok]

Black Mesa?

The Metro redux games are great and I enjoyed them and the story.

 

[venomx]

Halo is brilliant.

 

[Haze]

Bio shock

 

[Megahurtz400]

The original stalker games ready for Stalker 2 release in a few months?

Also lots of mods if the vanilla experience isn’t for you

Doom 3 and Quake 4 are very mid 2000s (Doom 3 is probably better). No One Lives Forever 1 and 2, 2 is much better than 1.

No contest Max Pain, Solder of fortune or my fav the first Ghost recon

 

[Rroff]

Max Payne and BioShock would definitely qualify. A bit of a curve ball one but maybe check out the resurrected City of Heroes.

Aliens vs Predator 2.

Fantastic game for the time, the human campaign was atmospheric as hell.

I also recently played through a modded Thief 2, which was easy to do and ended up looking fantastic for a game from the year 2000. The gameplay still holds up well too if you're into stealth titles, easily one of my favourite games of all time.

I'm busy with dead space (remake). Forgot how good it was.

Fallout 3 if you've got 100+ hours. This is what resurrected PC gaming for me in 2016.

Good call on Thief 2 I'd forgotten about that - I really need to replay it one day.

AvP2 was a great game but not sure how well it stands up gameplay wise today, not sure I'd enjoy going back and playing it again.

• System Shock 1 (re-make)
• System Shock 2
• Batman Arkham Asylum / City
• Resident Evil 1, 2 and 4 re-makes
• Dishonored 2

It has a lot of community support to make it more enjoyable on modern rigs, even has ultrawide support.

TSFIX and an HD texture mod:

Spoiler

Not bad for a 24 year old game tbh.

Yes, original Deus Ex was great and Far Cry 1 for something "classic" or Far Cry 3 for when it took a leap forward.

And then 2 (Not as good IMO) and then Infinite (superb). Excellent suggestions.

Mass Effect series, although the remastered ones do improve things massively. You could also give the Tomb Raider trilogy a go too.

X-Wing, then TIE Fighter then X-Wing vs TIE Fighter. Then X-Wing Alliance.

The whole host of Lucasarts FPG games from Maniac Mansion right through to Full Throttle I think was the last one.

You could also do the Sierra rpg games like Police story I think it is. They did quite a few.

The Lucasarts Star Wars games, Jedi academy, Dark forces and the others I can't remember off the top of my head.
