So I want to get a new game, and I don't wanna leave the house, because I am fat and lazy.

So I'm looking at Steam, and I was wondering how Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and STALKER? Both are up for relatively cheap and both looked good when I first saw them.

I coulden't think of another thread to put this in so I figured I'd make a new one.

    Then don't come back here for a year.


    Because X3 will steal your soul.

    Dark messiah is pretty good. X2 was more fun than X3. Stalker is pretty shitty and even with fan patches and fixes and whatnot its not even half the game everyone keeps saying it is.

    That being said i'm kinda burnt out on games so yeah

    Does this include the orange box/tf2 cause Id suggest that if you like shooters.

    Or get the PA game cause its fun even if your not a big RPG fan.

    (people saying they are playing L4D are lying to try and get into your pants)

    Well it was. None of the M6's are fun anymore, it takes forever to even get a half shitty rep with the other species, making complexes work is a roll of the dice and the combat is lackluster. Overpowered M7's do not a fun game make.

    But like i said, burnt out and especially when i was playing X3

    And there are people on my friends list right now playing Left 4 Dead.

    You are so wrong about X3.


    X3 is everything in space.


    You want to shoot shit? Go and shoot shit.

    You want to lead an entire galactic economy? Lead an entire galactic economy.

    X3 has absolutely nothing in common with Civilization. At all. It's Real Time, it takes place inside a cockpit in a first person view, it all takes place in one giant universe, and there's none of this research mumbo jumbo.

    It's beautiful.

    The way I see it, STALKER is $20 and Dark Messiah is $10 so I'd go with the one more people suggest and if it sucks anyway, well at least its only 10 or 20 bucks.

    Not like the $50 I spend on Hellgate: London. What a waste.

    Dark Messiah is pretty fun. A bit repetitive and silly, but probably worth $10, I'd say.

    Wait what?

    You're saying the combat in X3 is worse than the combat in X2? The only way to do combat in X2 is to let the computer handle it or be fucked.

    And complexes isn't even close to a roll of the dice, you just have to look at the economy in surrounding systems and figure out how the complex is going to work with resources.

    And rep is pretty easy if you have system traders constantly supporting the economy in a race and shoot some pirates.

    I actually did pretty good in combat in X2 so our experiences must just differ. Also i meant actually physically putting the fucking things together, not looking at the economic system. And yeah rep is pretty easy once you have a few million invested. Then all thats left is to go timeX10 and grrrrrrind out that delicious rep.

    Basically i'm saying at least wow had more pretty colours.
