Recent and old games, good and MP worthy? - CzeReptile - 01-24-2012

Kay once again, well of games I can play and find satisfactory is dried out. After rather failing impression by Skyrim, dead grind in WoT, im looking for somethnig to try.

Now, these have three sorts mainly.

- game with good story, singleplayer, most likely any sort aside from FPS.
- strategy games - GOOD ones that are not on par with MW3 difficulty or World in Conflict game style, cuz that sucks.
- multiplayer games - preferably free to play.

Suggestions welcome.
I wouldnt bother posting a list of what I have played and done cuz thatd take too long.

Earth 2150 triology

Its better than earth 2160 as it gives you more freedom to expand youre base.

Strategy:

Homeworld Series for awesome story and gameplay. (MP possible)

Conquest: Frontier Wars for a rather unknown 2D space RTS. Intersting story and cool gameplay. (MP possible, but rarely available)

Blitzkrieg Series for historical and awesome battles. (MP possible, but rarely available).

Anno Series for a great economical-colonization-whatever simulation. (No MP possible)

Roleplaying:

Baldur's Gate Series for awesome story, gameplay, everything. (MP Co-op possible, but rarely available)

Icewind Dale Series for less awesome, linear story, slightly less awesome gameplay. (MP Co-op possible, but rarely available)

Homeworld - long done.
C:FW - done
Blitzkrieg - boy, 10 years ago mebbeh, done.
Anno - too eeek for my liking, playd before.

RP - BG or ID were not really fancy for me in the past either.

go to GOG. Get neverwinter nights.

play the sucky sp abit. playe ther better exspansions abit till you get the hang of it then hop from one rp server tot he next till you find a home.

other then that.. well there isnt much else to play besides minecraft and second life for folks who need somewhat boundless depraved online experiences.

SW: Empire at War / Forces of corruption - Modded
Mods for EAW / FOC - Phoenix Rising / Republic At War

GTAIV is still fun to go lolz about in.
Resident Evil 5 is fun if you have a friend to play with.

F2P - FPS
Despite the naysayers, I play Combat Arms. I got a Major 5, Legit 2.26 kdr, and perm emod, so if you want to level up in a legit room, then add dTereusb

Borderlands - technically with a google search you can obtain it and the DLC free.

If you really want to rack your brain for games to play: Gameranger.com

Most of our clan plays games on that list, in multiplayer, and its easier then hamachi.

Also, Everquest II and STO are free to play now too.
