New PC incoming. Need game recs, need game recs!

Nothing too stressful, since it's a budget build, but it can handle itself.


Check out all the Steam sales going on right now during the Steam Autumn sale. Fair chance you can find a few titles worth buying on the cheap. Then you're all set with some "launch" titles for your new PC.
Also congrats on a new gaming rig.
 
Tropico 4
Finally was able to get into it. Good games are good.
The first few attempts i did awful but once i got the basic formula down the game it was easy. To anyone who has played the game, should I do the campaign or should i just do a sandbox island? Does the campaign get more interesting?

I also picked up modern times because it was dirt cheap but i havent tried it yet because ive been busy with the main-game campaign
 
IMO Modern Times was more rewarding of a campaign than the main one. They throw some silly challenges at you in MT which will throw your game off in a big way most of the time.

On the main campaign, they don't really do many extraordinary things designed to alter how you play (so, for example, if you wanted to always be a rum baron, in the main campaign, you're almost never discouraged from that, but in MT, there'll be many instances where that becomes a bad strategy [such as sugar prices falling out, or an island with high altitude unsuitable for sugar, or inability to build factories, or the Americans pressuring you for chemicals, etc.]).

Yeah, it's a pretty interesting game, but starts off very slow... the battle system is great though!

As for what I'm playing...

PLAYSTATION ALLSTARS FINALLY CAME! :heart:

Four days late, the bastards!

But damn it's so amazing, the beta was great, this is just SO much better! Even had my brother and dad play it with me, and they don't even like these types of games!
 
I watched reviews of it and it looks fun but then everyone critiques how the story is very subtle and stuff...and I'm a story junkie :/ I guess Star Ocean would be better.

I'm jealous of you people who have dads who play games with you :( the only game I've seen my dad played was Gran Turismo for the psone. And he didn't want to play with me :sad:

My dad LOVES the Gran Turismo games, he pretty much worships them lol and we play together quite frequently :thumb: He also plays other games, but not as much, like Soul Calibur and Call of Duty, lol, oh, and I managed to get him into Earth Defence Force so we could play together...he plays splitscreen games with one of his mates almost every Saturday for like 4-5 hours straight... it's pretty cool since y'know, he's 52 lol.

And Star Ocean is a pretty decent game too, I wouldn't know which to suggest for story, probably would go with Star Ocean, but if you ever get the chance to buy both of them, I'd definitely suggest doing so

Has anyone here played resonance of fate?
I couldnt get into it for some reason lol... id get tales of graces f. Anyways jason! my main problem with sony smash bros.... the balance of characters.... certain characters are way way way over powerd. IE kratos, sackboy(mainly because of his lvl 3 speical) but its a good game. kinda sad how easy of a platium it is -.-
 

Jason

Awesome Bro

I haven't had any balance issues yet lol, except maybe Ratchet with is level 1 where he uses the RYNO lol, but oh well...

At the moment I'm "mastering" Raiden, always said I would when he was announced lol, and jesus I can do some pretty insane combos with him, lol. He's just SO fast, and everything he does looks great! My brother has been working with Dante and he's really good with him, and when you combine both these characters together in a 2v2 (Only against 5* bots though... haven't been online yet) holy fuck, it's pretty much the rape combo... sort of like if Brian Peppers had a brother and they went around raping together...
 

Mega Flare

Awesome Bro

raiden is another one of the OP charcters... prepare for alot of people raging at you lol. i did one match online with kratos and i got hate mail...
 

Jason

Awesome Bro

I don't know, I don't think Kratos and Raiden are as overpowered as people think, I mean, I like playing as both of them, but they're still easy to beat, but then again I AM only against 5* bots like I said, since I haven't taken it online yet, lol.
