Other PC Games Thread.
So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Awesome thanks Negke the bdevgoreoverride=True works lovely.
Also found a working clot only mutator. Hordes of easy fickle rotten flesh to mow down gleefully! 
Spire 
New game from Dustforce guys sounds pretty interesting, sounds like a speedrunning game.

Sounds Good 
but let's see. I sense failure: The one screenshot they're showing is a box room with no vertical variation :-). Also, "Reach the top of a tower" doesn't seem to be interesting... even to me. 
Dunno 
The previous game sure demanded some dexterity to play right, so making something good like this seems up their alley.
And the visual style looks good, a bit of a Zelda Windwaker feel. 
Yeah, I Like The Visuals 
so i'd say let's hope it will be a good game :D 
Looks Neat 
I wonder if they will add occulus rift support!

speaking of which, is anyone planning to get one early? They have announced developer versions for people who DIDN'T sponsor the kickstarter will be available to pre-order soon.

Anyone planning on doing a Quake port? :) :) ;) 
How Much Will It Cost? 
 
Dev Kit Is $300 
so I guess it will be $300 or less.

Seems fairly reasonable. If they can get it down further I will definitely get one, but even at $300 I'm probably in assuming there is reasonable game support (or if someone does a port of Quake) and it's easy to dev for. 
I Still Like Rimming...

Laptop Suitable Games. 
Hi I need some advice. I want a game to play on my laptop when I'm away from my desktop.

I've got a fairly basic / small laptop and I generally don't like the keyboard / small mouse with it, so I need something that is not too twitchy / super-fine-control based, i.e. probably not a normal action FPS.

I was thinking something like an older RPG or slower strategy game. Not sure what really. Fantasy/sci-fi definitely. No side-scrollers or boring real-world-sims.

Any ideas?? 
 
(Point'n'click) adventures
Fallout 1 & 2
Gothic 1 & 2 (older RPG)
Popcap games :P 
Not Sauerbraten, Apparently. 
 
Legend Of Grimrock If You Turn The Gfx Down 
 
Finished 
Mark of the Ninja, really liked it once I got the hang of the stealth mechanics. Cool story, cool atmosphere and nice non linear gameplay. 
Shambler 
How powerful is the lappy?

Will it run XCom? Have you layed XCom - I liked it, but it's turn-based which makes life easier if you have a slighly less powerful rig I guess....

I'd recommend XCom to anyone who hasn't yet played it. 
XCOM: Enemy Unknown 
that is. 
Zork 
 
Okay. 
Fallout 1 & 2 - could have potential.

XCom - similarly, could have potential.

Was wondering about Diablo3, Dungeon Siege (2), or similar?

Grimrock looks like shit. Gothics maybe too control-based.

Computer is i3 2.27GHz / 3 GB Ram / integrated graphics 128 Mb - 1 Gb memory. 
Xcom 
is totally I game I would recommend on a laptop. Its very replayable and would run on a calculator these days.

Torchlight 2 is optimized for laptop use I believe, and is a pretty fun game. 
 
Ultima 8 is another nice old RPG with easy controls - mouse-only if you want. 
Xcom Etc. 
Willl look into it....Torchlight2 sounds good to me, I remember looking at that.

What else? Ultima8 sounds a bit old? Prefer less mouse usage than more tbh. 
Whut About. 
Diablo 3? 
 
Its online only! (Stupid blizzard)
Go with Torchlight2, at least it works when you want to play it! 
Try 
FTL - not twitchy at all but a solid roguelike space captain thing. http://www.ftlgame.com/

Here's a point and click adventure:

Give Hotline Miami a try if you've got a mouse.

Grimrock is pretty good actually. Need to see if they've released any new content since I last played.

And there's always minecraft, if building scale models of monuments out of matchsticks is your thing. Sounds like it's become more interesting and adventury in recent times though. 
 
Minecraft can be fun if you set yourself limits to how you play. Like survive 5 nights without building a shelter or simply just keep walking east and see how long you can survive without building shelter or hiding up poles! Obviously if you die, then game over ...
