could anyone recommend a game like Far Cry?
Or something like Penumbra, Amnesiah, Soma?

Outlast.



I'm really looking forward to Dishonored 2

So this Pokemon Go game is going to be fucking addicting.

i'm due a phone upgrade, as soon as it comes i'm in. not gonna even attempt to play it on the piece of crap i have currently.

Guise, I just found out that Pokemon Go is actually a great tool for thieves to lure people with smart phones as a friend just got their phone nicked, so please be careful if you're gonna play that.

Looks like Team Rocket is up to no good again.

when the idea first got announced years ago my very first thought was that it'll be heaven for paedos.

Finally got Zero Time Dilemma. Loving it so far. The fragmented way in which the story is told is great and quite fresh. Not sure if I'm liking it more than 999 or Virtues Last Reward, but it's likely to be my GotY if it continues to be as good as the first few hours have been.

Well, you can apparently see people 100 meters away, so they pop one of those lures and get them to go to quiet dodgy areas then snatch their phone. Pretty shit. They need to change that to friends only or something.

Ugh.

Star Ocean: Integrity And Faithlessness is quite disappointing.

wat. WHY?
I was gonna get that when I buy my PS4. Just bought a 40" TV for it now saving up for the console. I hope the new FFs are good at least.

Wait for it to go down in price is my advice.

I'm looking for awesome classic turn-based RPGs or dark fantasy games. Anyone have recommendations?

Pillars of Eternity

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I kickstarted Pillars of Eternity but I just can't get into it. They really went out of their way to double-up on all the mechanical minutiae of the infinity engine games. I tried to continue my campaign after a one or two week break but found I couldn't even evaluate the strength of a weapon anymore.

So I chickened out and started playing this for the billionth time instead:

Still the best game ever.

 

[Mort Divine]

not really

but the best elder scrolls game

Outlast.

thanks but Outlast is not anywhere near Amnesia or Penumbra.

 

[AllShallFall]

Well I've never played any of them so I just went off of what I've seen.

nice, i just started playing Soma yesterday. have you played the fan made mod Penumbra: Necrologue? it's a mod of Amnesia: Dark Descent that's poorly optimized and there will be a couple times you'll need to check youtube to find out what to do but overall it's a really cool game. it picks up where the puzzle Penumbra game left off and you'll revisit a bunch of areas from the first three games as well as new ones. it's quite long too as it's about the same length as the other 3 games combined.

Alien: Isolation

this game captures the atmosphere of the first Alien film. you'll do a lot of hiding and cat-and-mouse maneuvers with the alien and andrioids. it's quite long too as it took me 18 hours to complete. some people felt it got too repetitive for the length. i was quite paranoid playing this game as it feels like at any moment the alien with attack and instantly kill you. you can't really fight the alien but you can make it go away quickly once you get the flamethrower and molotov cocktails but it's only a temporary reprieve. the soundtrack and general sound effects are great.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

it's a very short horror/mystery/adventure game inspired by late 19th and early 20th century weird fiction. there's not much to the gameplay as you just walk around trying to find and piece together scenes. there's no map or HUD. it's actually pretty peaceful to play and have a cup of coffee.

i've always liked the sound of this one. i believe EVERYBODY'S GONE TO THE RAPTURE is a similar sort of thing?

LOVE the name change btw. my ps3 username used to be Anomandaris iirc
