Terarria
http://www.terraria.org/ 2D minecraft, but with guns, epic bossfights and much more evil creatures. High on the kiddie-retro-pixel scale, great gameplay. Teleglitch http://diemore.teleglitch.com/ Roguelike with a bit of a Quake base vibe. High on the retro pixel scale. If there are any fans of RTCW and Wolfenstein here, then I recommend give Ubersoldier 1 and 2 a try. Even Wolfenstein 2009 copied the shield ability that the player's character have, and Burut should feel proud.
I should have specified 3D only...and definitely NO retro-pixel games. But...
Bastion - more RPG? Bit bright and cheerful for me. Swapper - this looks kinda nice actually for a 2D thing. Might be tempted for the style alone. Natural Selection - more FPS? MP only, no sale. Hammerfight - sorry fighting games have no appeal. Sins Of A Solar Empire - yes, forgot to mention, I bought that for my laptop. Any others in that style? it's a shame natural selection 2 is multiplayer only, because the graphics look pretty sweet. perhaps one day they can incorporate single player.
Isn't a kids game, and is well written. The art does give it stupid fall off world through hole you didn't see syndrome though. Recommended.
Has a training mode which you play on your own.
But seriously - if you have an internet connection, PLAY IT! Believe me I am tempted but I would ideally like something that would actually work out of the box, and if it's going to be a true 3PS RPG, then I want to be able to use my customary controls for it. Which according to a panel of experts, I can't.
Dark Souls at most needs one easy to set up Mod ( DSFix ) if you want to use Controller only. If you want to use Mouse/KB you need DSMFix on top of that. Both are pretty easy to set up.
In Mouse/KB Mode you get a Key Settings Menu ingame - not sure if you also get this with a Controller though as i only ever played it with Mouse/KB. If not, there are some controller emulators that people seem to be suggesting a lot ( x360ce and MotionJoy ), which have custom key config support. So 2 mods needed. And Le Bal tried to rebind keys to something near my config and it didn't work.
No gamepad games please, ta. AND NO FUCKING 2D GAMES THANKS. Since you liked Skyrim, never thought of trying something like Fallout New Vegas? It's pretty much Skyrim with guns (not as pretty, but better writing).
Yes sorry missed that in IRC last night. I did try Fallout 3 and it kept crashing as I was being born. I should try it again and see if it magically works - it is a good choice (although as an FPS RPG, not something new to me).
Nehrim just looks like more RPG, even if it might be good.
GlovePie could be an option but it is a lot more dicking around, I am lazy and used to just installing and playing games ;). Actually I'd be up for another modern classic ground-based RTS if anyone has any ideas?? I'm tired of L4D2 mods already, they're all the fucking same, so I reinstalled Stalker COP. This time didn't touch the settings or install complete, and haven't had a single crash, yay!
Been playing for the last few hours and I seem to be almost to the point of entering pripyat (just need a suit)... which appears to be well into the game already, over halfway? I haven't done many side quests yet, only a few, so i think i'll have to go back and do some. I haven't even found a single artifact or lootpack yet, the whole place seems empty. No interesting places to explore, no cool items yet (some fancy shotgun is the best i've got so far from a bandit leader). The graphics aren't very good either, doesn't seem to be any improvement since the original (which looked better with complete) so COP appears worse out of the box. I'm going to try this mod: http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-hd-project1 Looks like it does a pretty good job of improving the looks, just gotta wait for the 7gb download!
