Suggest Me a Game [PC]

[Piyush]

Diablo should be in RPG genre.

searched many forums
all of them are saying Diablo has rpg elements but mainly focuses on action elements

Piyush only 10 games are added from my side in post#1
but I remember I had added Silent Hill 3,Burnout Paradise etc,tomb raider underworld,anniversary ?

you mean your games are not listed there?

 

[Zangetsu]

+1, yeah its heck'n slash / action rpg.

IMHO Rainbow Six Series should come into Squad based games, Reason there you need plan your routes, entry point and waypoints and you need to be in sync with your teammates else you are gone. It definately Squad beased game.

Well if you think diablo is action rpg then you have to put dragon age there as well. yeah diablo have very less dialouges and story branching but the game is same in dragon age, so IMHO it should be an RPG

Since we are talking about RPG's here,

A good action RPG is missing

Deus-Ex Series: The latest game in the series is Deus-Ex:Human Revolution, having a good gameplay and story, its your choice you can go in guns blazing or sneaking.

Jrpg
The Last Remnant: I really loved square games and it think this one is the only jrpg done exclusively for pc. The gameplay is like typical Jrpgs(Final Fantasy etc). Really nice visuals and good storyline so if you want to play somthing like Final Fantasy on your PC this one is for you.

yea....was thinking the same

Lets rephrase my sentence:
"I searched many forums, games lists, gaming channels and asked 6-7 friends who played Diablo...90% answers were Hack n Slash with rpg elements"

On the other hand DA:O, DA2, KoA:TR....can be termed as "RPG games with action/Hack n Slash elements"

A good action RPG is missing
Deus-Ex Series:

Oh yea...I was about to add this game as soon as I played this game, but I think it is too far now
So will add it

let me differentiate.

1. Does your choices changes story of Diablo?
2. Do you have to care about relation with your party members in Diablo?
3. Can you control your party member in Diablo?
4. Can you pre-define tactics in Diablo?
5. Do you need as much strategy as dragon age origins in Diablo while in combat?

Both games have big difference.
Diablo series is Heck'n Slash or action rpg. Its totally different from
Dragon Age
Baulder Gates
Elder Scroll.

In Diablo everything is fixed and pre-defined and in an "core rpg" you have full control over the story, you can choose who are your friends and who are foes.

Thanx for The Last Remnant but I suppose no one in TDF has played it except u..

 

[Alok]

^i didn't . But i'll see youtube ,if it feels special i'll play.

 

[gameranand]

I haven't played it either but it could be a real nice game which didn't got as much attention as other good games.

As for diablo I haven't played it so the guys who have played would give better opinion.

+1 for deus ex series. I previously thought its added as a discussion was done for this game.

 

[Skud]

This thread is going to have every game ever made under the sky recommended as must play.

Not every game just a few.

my worst fear

 

[gameranand]

Tom clancy's ghost recon should be under squad based fps.

my worst fear

OK lets see.
Everyone has a favorite genre so obviously he only need to see those part of this thread. Now if you take my example, I would first look at the RPG section and I'll play the game which I have missed. But yes there are some not so great games in your list for sure.

 

[thetechfreak]

my worst fear

That's the thing. There are too many genres and too many games. Cleanup a few names?
Can't comment everywhere but let me comment on racing for starters.

Flat-out series an ms BLUR/split second are seriously not must play. I'd say the F1 series can be included.
A game being good doesnt make it must play. There must be something special about it.

 

[pkkumarcool]

^cant agree flatout 2 is not bad at all...SpEciality is Derby races

 

[Skud]

Not every game just a few.

I can straightaway point to one particular game in your fav genre: Kingdoms of Amalur. Unlike Elder Scrolls or Witcher, it's not a must play. Nor it has any historical value if you are interested in the progress of a particular genre over the years. The story, design and gameplay are nothing unique to experience. All in all, it's a good game, but not MUST play.

Similarly, in Survival Horror FPS, Darkness II is not a must play. Far from it.

That's the thing. There are too many genres and too many games. Cleanup a few names?

Exactly my point. If you talking about F1 Sims, Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4 is a must play, not Codie's current series. Similarly, the original Colin McRae Rally and Richard Burns Rally are must play for rally fans.

It's a different issue older games might not be so easily available.

Play Racedriver GRiD and DiRT 3 and I think you might know why I said flatout isn't good.

If you like racing play the above games. It will take your driving skills to a new level


That said GRid should be a mustplay

@skud I think the whole Dirt series can be mustplay. Very very good simulation of real conditions. A truly "complete" game. Has everything a rally fan would want.

 

[Apocalyp5e]

yeah need to root out some weed and we better need to be specific about the series cuz not all the games are good in a series

1. Does your choices changes story of Diablo?
2. Do you have to care about relation with your party members in Diablo?
3. Can you control your party member in Diablo?
4. Can you pre-define tactics in Diablo?
5. Do you need as much strategy as dragon age origins in Diablo while in combat?

No offense but...

1. Does your choices changes story of Diablo?
Not A prerequisite for an RPG, there are tons of RPGs out there and only a few(mostly action/western RPGs) having that different story path.

2. Do you have to care about relation with your party members in Diablo?
We yes if you ever played it in multi-player each char has set role, paladin for healing amazon for Hit and Run, warrior for taking punishment(tanking) necromancers for support mentioning just a few. Although you can beat it in single player but its lot more fun while playing with your friends

3. Can you control your party member in Diablo?
No We can't, we can't even control our party memebers in MMORPGs, that doesn't mean those games aren't rpgs(Ragnarok, WOW, A3, Eve Online)

4. Can you pre-define tactics in Diablo?
Well yes if you are playing in nightmare mode with a party, while playing alone its just (hit-run-Recover) Repeat

5. Do you need as much strategy as dragon age origins in Diablo while in combat?
Nope that much strategy isn't required while in combat, I must say most of the western RPGs don't need that much strategy as Jrpgs(Sad part is all good jrpgs are on PS and xbox)

Lets Define RPG
1. Should have Level up system.
2. Should have char inventory.
3. Should have Skills/Magic etc.
4. Should have party.

As for hack and Slash: real hack and slash games are like DMC Series/ Onimusha Series, Darksiders, Ninja Gaiden, God of war.

However I agree that Diablo should be in Action RPG.

Just one advice who are looking forward to play Diablo 2, well its not going to impress you much cuz the graphics aren't what you are expecting (Actually its sprite based 2D game just like Age of Empires 2), not much to do just explore and kill. Not very good storyline. All these things are compared to today's RPGs. Diablo is a Legend Same as original starcraft. One who played both the starcafts will admit that starcraft was a way better then SC:Wings of liberty (gameplay wise)

True, but if you pin-point just one game, Dirt 2 is the one you should get.

And GRID is a must play, no question about that.

 

[gameranand]

Yes Flatout isn't a must play. Its a good game.
As for Blur/Split second. They do have some unique value and are best for MP sessions. Yes SP isn't that great.
Also onimusha isn't a must play.
