Game Suggestions?

[Benzo]

Quite simply, as the title suggests... Any game suggestions?

I just beat Witcher's Blood and Wine yet again, due to a lack of new material to play. Primarily, I am interested in story rich plots, story-changing decisions being a plus. Preferably something that'll take a while to compleye.
That is to say, games like Titanfall and Battlefield, while fun, aren't what I'm looking for; Too focused on the multiplayer experience for the story to be worth half a damn.


I just want Kingdom Come: Deliverance to fucking come out already... I suppose I could complete another Inquisition run through. Always did want to write an ISRP for someone who hasn't played it.
Is Mafia any good, anyone know? Played 2, it was decent from what I remember, and GTA V was disappointingly short after I finally decided to get it. (First person really convinced me, probably wouldn't have otherwise.)

some from my steam library

Overlord 1 and 2, oldies but goodies. Also funny.

Dishonored if you somehow don't have it.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution(Mankind Divided sucks)

Maybe(?) Prototype 1 and 2

Shadowrun Dragonfall(no voice acting, you have to read lots of stuff!)

for some reason people say it's bad, up to you to decide but The Bureau: XCOM Declassified has a fine story.

Borderlands series as always.

If you can stand RTS games, most of the Command and Conquer series has decent stories. Red Alert 3, Tiberium Wars 3, and earlier back to Generals(Zero Hour has different campaigns), Red Alert 2(Yuri's Revenge-different campaign) and Renegade are all good. Renegade is a FPS too, not RTS.

Supreme Commander 2 is also RTS, 3 good stories that merge into one epic. Dunno on its spiritual successor, Ashes of the Singularity(my graphics card can't handled these newfangled games!)

KOTOR 1 and 2 if you somehow don't have them and like Star Wars. the old Battlefront 2 also has a decent campaign with story.

[Benzo]

Played Dishonored (That second one... Eh?), Dues Ex (That's the first, right? That's the one I've played) and of course Borderlands. Haven't tried Prototype, though it did pique my interest. May need to grab those.
KoTOR is Bioware, right? If so, played probably the first, though it was a while back. As for the RTSs; Should mention that I'm an Xbox fanboy and that's all I have, thanks to Halo 1 and 2... Much to my disappointment as of late. (I imagine those are PC, such as Age of Empires.)

[LNG257]

Yee, PC. I know that Prototype 1 and 2 are on consoles. Story is a bit dark, but especially with Prototype 1 finding Persons of Interest and absorbing their memories unlocks a gradually unfolding story, connecting two vastly different time periods with one event and two people between them.

There are a lot of Deus Ex games. There's the original Deus Ex, then like 3 other old Deus Ex games, then there are the newer Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the newest Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

I'm pretty sure the two Overlord games and maybe The Bureau are on consoles too.

[Benzo]

Oh hell, really? I think it was Human Revolution, then.
I remember playing an Overlord demo way back when. All I can remember is clubbing baby seals, haha.

I think I may just try to see if anyone wants to do an Inquisition ISRP. Witcher has a fantastic story, but the last DLC of Inquisition makes that my favorite, still. Ties everything up so perfectly...
And I probably still haven't even managed every story choice, so that's something. (Really want to stay in a Fantasy mood until Kingdom Come. Or medievalesc, I should say, since Kingdom Come will supposedly have zero fantasy elements and historically accurate.)

[LNG257]

Seriously, get Overlord 1 and 2, but stay away from Fellowship of Evil.

I say play overlord 1 first because in overlord 2, the main character suddenly has an actual attack and can contribute rather than just commanding minions and casting a few spells. So get used to using minions and spells, then go ham with awesome weapon attacks. I played #2 first, so my skills in 1 aren't great because I try to bash all the things by myself, which just doesn't work. They both have awesome stories. Also, stay away from the arena thingy in #1. It may look tempting, but it's caused me to lose more hard-to-replace minions than I can count.

Of the RTS's I know that at least Supreme Commander 2 is on xbox.

Haven't even heard of Dominions, but Bastion is the time-puzzle platformer, right? Arcade game, pretty decent.

Props for saying New Vegas, rather than 4. Best one IMO, particularly in regards to tying the DLC plot into the main plot. (My quote actually comes from Ulysses, if you've played them.)

[The Villa Strangiato]

New Vegas is the best
I mainly play fallout 4 for mods and not the story
I spend more time decorating my hot springs home than doing any quests

[Benzo]

Haha aye, pretty much the same here. I wore myself out after the third 30+ population city I made, all of them putting DC to shame, haha.

[Death]

Dishonored 2 when it comes out.

I can't get Dishonored 2 anytime soon because I have to save up for a better graphics card.

First and foremost, anyway. My PC is absolute shiz.

sucks to be me

Divinity: Original Sin
the best RPG i've played and one of my favorite games of all time.

No one has ever heard of Dominions, but it's fucking excellent. If you like strategy games, mythology, and blood sacrifices, it's a great one to check out 
Bastion is really god damn short, but I had fun with it personally. The music is great 

New Vegas is the best 3D fallout game storywise. It may not have the as many weaponry options and customization as 4, but it's deeper overall I think. 

[Benzo]

Ahh hell, is it Steam/PC? My laptop isn't worth half a damn anymore, unfortunately.
I suddenly want to play Chrono Trigger...

And aye, I was actually just talking to someone the other day about how perfect the addons tie to the main story, with subtle hints being dropped all over the place. Witcher 3 is what actually sparked the conversation, as I forgot one of the first NPCs you meet disappears entirely until the first expansion, but NV definitely nails it.
All in all, I think NV to this day has been the most successful in making story relevant expansions/DLC IMO, rather than throwing in new areas and plots because why not.

Fallout New Vegas has more pistols than there are guns in fallout 4
But agreed, fallout new vegas is rich story wise, fallout 4 is great gameplay wise (and for mods, oh god the mods make this game worth playing again)

[Benzo]

I think the Gun Runners pack added some nifty guns and mods to NV, though all I can remember for 100% certainty is the Dragon's Breath shotgun ammo. Fun as hell, haha.
Come to think of it, that's one thing that kind of irked me about FO4; The unrealistic bullet impact/damage, (Thank God for mods, like you said) along with the lack of actual ammo mods. Sure, you could change the feed size, but I enjoyed having hollowpoints, FMJs, ect. to really change the tide of a fight.

I know. There's only one assault rifle (excluding nuka world, which adds the wannabe AK), and that's the only gun in game that used 5.56 ammo. It felt really weird with only two semi automatic pistols in the game, and one subgun. It feels highly unnatural and lacking. And oh God, the DLC was handled terribly. DLC in New Vegas felt completely optional, because there was so much stuff to do, although all the NV DLCs were made very well and were fun. Fallout 4 felt like DLCs were needed to fully enjoy the game, and even then it let everyone down with only 3 story DLCs, two that influence the game even. It feels really weird becoming General of the Minutemen, Vault Overseer, Paladin/Knight/Sentinel of the BoS, Director of the Institute, Over boss of Nuka World, That Guy who killed Far Harbor off or the Children of Atom or told both to shut up, and have either nothing to do, filler quests, or have no meaning of your title. How come I can stroll into Diamond City as The Over boss and nobody cowers in fear? Why does Preston Garvey tell me what to do when I'm the head honcho? Fallout 4 feels like it took two steps backward.

[Benzo]

Oh God, and even then, the assault rifle using 5.56 looked fucking weird. I think FH added a combat rifle with that effect, but pfft, why the fuck would I use a gun for 5.56 if it can also take .308s?

The hype they made for FH, and my disappointment afterwards, is what made me begin loosing faith in Bethesda. (Now only Bioware is left...)
I to this day still think Shivering Isles was larger or as large as "Their largest add-on to date" and much more content-filled.

[The Villa Strangiato]

I feel like Far Harbor was Point Lookout remastered. It had a good story line, just barely any real content that felt meaningful.
By the way, the Combat Rifle interestingly takes .45 ammunition by default, so technically it should be called the "Pistol Caliber Carbine/Rifle, and the magazine size looks like it holds 7 rounds of .50, not 20 or 40 rounds of .45. and considering the weird proportions of magazine well and size, the December's Child rifle should look totally different if it were rechambered in 5.56.
