As the title really. Is there any game around that make you literally laugh out, has a good story and level progression as well ?? Felling like something else to mix in between all sword fighting, gun blazing games that's mostly around. :p Although saying that I guess there be some fighting involved, most games has it ! :p
 
Thanks for all the replies ! Be going through and checking the suggested games over the weekend and see if anyone takes my fancy. Was way more then I though so hopefully there be one or two that I find worth a punt on. :cool:
 
Costume quest
LISA (amazing writing)
Bookmarked Costume quest, thanks. :)
South park

south park is the only funny semi-character progression game i've encountered.

i find in general humour in video games really sparse and hard to appreciate. nearly always feels forced apart from south park + portal.

Thought I would see South Park be mentioned here, been on the fence about this game for some time so added it to wishlist for now. :p


Might have to look on youtube about this one, see if it tickle my gaming nerve. :)

Borderlands 2? Less story more shooting though.

Borderland the pre sequel. Specifically the second play through when Tiny Tina narrates your actions!

Yeah, Borderlands can be funny on occasions, and I seen streams in the past with Tiny Tina around that been hilarious ! Already have the games though, just got to get around to play BL2 and the pre-sequels. :p

The last game that made me laugh out loud was Wolfenstein the New Collosus. But I think I'm a little twisted. South Park is a good suggestion. The Monkey island series of games are funny, although pretty old now.

New Collosus is on my wishlist, I watched some when Cohh played it when it was released and I agree with you, it has quiet a few bits of humor in it ! :p So I guess I'm bit twisted as well !

GTA 5. Trevor is comic genius. :D

Isn't GTA more mulitplayer then single player game ?

Psychonauts

And hopefully Psychonauts 2
Not sure about this game, will watch some youtube about this one too. :)
Divinity Original Sin 2,
Borderlands 2,
At a push with the few comedic moments and one liners you could add The Witcher 3,
Final Fantasy 15 also has plenty of humour.
Yeah, playing Witcher 3 at the moment, for the second time and yes, there is some good laughs on occasion there ! Final Fantasy though, don't you have to had played the other games before or all independent of each other ?

Bit old, but Bulletstorm is very tongue in cheek and has a bit of character progression.

Or maybe Far Cry Blood Dragon, a bit lacking in terms of story, but dripping with 80s cheese.
Bulletstrom old ?? Unless you talking about another game that steam didn't have, I found this one from 2017. Clicky Got Far Cry 3, thought Blood Dragon was a DLC but just realized it is free standing so that one on wish list now too, thanks ! (Well it would if uPlay had a wish list, so guess it be on steam for the time being then. :p )

Graveyard Keeper just started playing it myself looks interesting.
I agree, looks like an interesting game but not seen that much of humor in it though. But yeah, might buy it one day in the future.

System Shock 2 would fit the bill apart from 'funny'. It does have some (mostly dark) humour in places, but it has the best story of any game ever (there's a god-damn plot twist that is as good as any film's) and is RPG FPS. Bioshock is basically a remake of it.
Not played the first one yet, but saw there might be a remade one of the first one so might wait and play both. Added to wishlist as well. :)
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Not entirely funny, but has moments of comedy, along with quite a lot of creepy.
Currently on offer from GOG for £3.59

Oh yeah, also, if you can find them. No One Lives Forever, and No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way. Superbly camp 60's fun.

I did find them, but.. well, here is an article from Rock, Paper, Shotgun which you might already have read though, and seems to be a bit of a grey area in regards to getting the game ?

Shadow Warrior 1 & 2. Both are laugh out loud funny with character progression. The first one is the funniest but the character progression and variety/choice of weapons and upgrades in 2 is seriously impressive. These are the only games that truly match your description imo @TheSwede .

Have Shadow Warrior 2 already on my wishlist, seems I have to check out the first one too. Was not aware they had fun moments in them, just liked the little of the game play I saw on the second one. Thanks, definitely be looking closer on them now. :)
