Recommend D a new game

[Dis]

computer game, don't go recommending a forum game now

It seems that this year has been a slow year for computer games. Is there anything worthwhile?

I still play games like SMAC, NWN, and Civ3. But I can't play them all the time. I'm not in the mood to play them that much. I just got finished with a game of SMAC last night, and another this morning (although I lost that one ). Perhaps I have too much free time. I guess I could get a girlfriend. But a computer game is a more realistic solution.

Dominions II is amazing, more creativity and complexity than any game since SMAC. As I said before, I have trouble imagining a serious TBS player who would not greatly enjoy the game.

[Skanky Burns]

I have been given/bought GalCiv, NWN, MoO3, Thief 3, Settlers 4 and Victoria recently.

I don't know if they are any good though as I haven't played any.

America's Army, it's even free.

[Jamski]

You havn't played Thief 3, Skanky?

/me checks Skanky's temperature*

Yep, he's dead alright. Stone dead.

Well, I did get past the first mission and into town.
Then nothing more for over a month. :shrug:

Skanky's dead.

My vote goes to Garrett.

Diss, you could play Civ 2.... rah would be happy to hand you your ass on a plate. With garnish.
Or Kingdom of Loathing....
But Dominions II does look good.

Don't bother... It's worse than S3 in most ways... only thing better in S4 is graphics



For games I can only recommend Rise of Nations... this is the RTS game closest to TBS...

Silent Storm.

I have a thread in Civ3 general explaining why I don't play Civ2. I further explain in one of my posts on page 3 of that thread.

But I never visit Civ 3 General. It gives me vertigo to stray so far from the anchor that is OT. Civ 2 General is as far as it is safe, or sensible, to go. Well, I'm disappointed that you prefer Civ 3 to Civ 2, but if this is indeed the case then there is no saving you. Maybe if you tried playing the Sims.....

You could try Battle for Westnoth. It's a Free(libre) hex based strategy game SP and MP. Check the other thread for details.

Do you have a powerfull pc(or a museum piece like me)?
And what kind of games do you like - is it only tbs? historic/futureistic?

I'm finding it harder to get games that hold my interest these days and playing the same old(but great) games over and over does wear a little thin.

Maybe go for something completely different - like the Sims or some such?(well maybe not the sims.... ).

I'm alternating between old classic's i missed the first time around (like Masters of Magic/Magic the Gathering/Settlers2/etc) and 3D stuff on my xbox like Morrowind/Kotor/PotC etc.

Its ok - but i wish real tbs games were being made

[DarkCloud]

what scares me is I may outgrow playing games.

I can't imagine not playing games. what would I do with my day?

My computer is pretty fast. Not top of the line, but can handle games like KOTOR and NWN easily. I didn't seem to have any problems with Halo. Halo came free with my sound card, I only played it for about an hour before I became bored of it. FPS's aren't my style.
