Fun Games to Play?

[indomitable1319]

I mean like, OMG WTF.
How many campaigns have I played here on THW and finished?
How many 10 player maps have I played alone have I mastered?
It's sort of sad to see how easily bored I get. Any fun games I can play?
Suggested:

• Campaigns, Something fun and interesting and new
• Awesome RPGs that can be played alone
• Or rather a beta tester for something.

- Basically, I want RPGs that are awesome, and are focused on gameplay, items, and story.
- Campaigns that aren't repetitive and hard to understand, and don't have too many melee maps, especially with impossible AI.
- WCIII Games.

This Wreckage and When The Freedom Slips Away has taken my attention. Don't expect a reply from me for a while, I'm too hooked.

Wanderers Of Sorceria is awesome.

Baldurs Gate 2
Awesome RPG , good story , i played it many times again , you can kick your whole party that you control and play solo but its better with a party

Fallout 1 and Fallout 2
Old game but one of my favorite RPGs , its from a post-apocalyptic world , RPG where you can play as the good one , the bad one... The story is very good and its very good because if you get a quest its not like in todays RPGs where you have to follow an arrow and kill 5 Enemies , you can complete a quest many ways...

Fallout Tactics
Its not anymore a RPG like Fallout 1 or 2 was , its an action game where you do mission after mission , you play for more players , set them on different modes (neutral , aggresive , defensive) and win the missions with tactics

That are the best RPGs i know

I think he's asking for WCIII maps.

DotA - even if you don't like it, you sure won't master it fast.
Fun, competitive and ever-evolving.

 

[Textor]

Oh... then Isle of Despair is a good wcIII map, also a good RPG , i think the best RPG that i ever played in WCIII , ofcourse i played it solo because i saw it rarely hosted and the download toke ages when a friend of mine hosted it

 

[indomitable1319]

I hate DotA, like most of the other people here.

I'll look for the Isle of Despair, EpicWar or can it be found here?

http://epicwar.com/maps/8070/ The map is huge and you pick a class and choose also a job , for sample blacksmith , lumberjack... etc.
The game has alot quests and really nice terrain. And the towns and camps are also nice

Fun fact: hardly anyone likes what they don't understand. Devote a few weeks to learning DotA and you'll understand why millions do like it.

i gotta agree with you shiik, i totally hated DotA until i watched my brother play it... and it was pretty awesome, but after a while, i kinda got bored... still fun though hhe

 

[leet.firefox]

This Wreckage and When The Freedom Slips Away.
Joe's Quest Gold.
Diablo 3 Warcraft.

Or he won't. Like the lest of us.

TKoK is pretty well made if you haven't tried it yet.

 

[indomitable1319]

Joe's Quest GOLD was awesome, but I haven't played 1.5 yet.
D3W is awesome, but kinda repetitive.
The Wreckage and When The Freedom Slips Away? Alright.

DotA... I've played it loads of times, yet it's just too damn repetitive for me. It's always, buy buy buy kill kill kill...

Like most games, but I don't know why I particularly dislike DotA...

 

[Crave.]

The Kingdom of Kaliron.
EPIC RPG. EPIC inventory system. EPIC quest system. EPIC everything. Its here on Hive, fortunately
Once you get the hang of it, its actually pretty fun.

EDIT: I dislike DotA too

 

[indomitable1319]

Well, I've tried out Isle of Despair.
Got bored easily.

TKoK, I've heard of it and only decided to check it out now for ya.

 

[Lich Prince]

Athistaur's Darkness RPG. You can play it Multi or solo...

It has countless stuff to explore, try not to cheat for it ruins the gameplay. Also has many choices that affect the game, you'll have to replay atleast 2 times to discover all the endings.

It's simply amazing. My favorite RPG too.

 

[En_Fuego]

DotA is a great game. If it gets "too repetitive" for you, join a league or try to play in semi-pro games.

 

[Gilles]

He asked about campaigns and RPGs, why are you bringing up DotA again?

 

[indomitable1319]

Don't feel like playing online anymore...

 

[En_Fuego]

He asked about campaigns and RPGs, why are you bringing up DotA again?

Title says games.

 

[leet.firefox]

It's just a title.

Suggested:

* Campaigns, Something fun and interesting and new
* Awesome RPGs that can be played alone
* Or rather a beta tester for something.

 

[En_Fuego]

I know. But I also read the title.

edit: And DotA is an RPG. You take the role of either a defender of the Sentinel or a defender of the Scourge and you play the game against other people playing their roles.

 

[leet.firefox]

I will cake on your face.

Awesome RPGs that can be played alone

DotA loses its appeal offline; it's only good for practice.

 

[En_Fuego]

AI versions are actually very well done. If you play with insane bots you are in for a challenge.

 

[leet.firefox]

I'm going to make an ass out of myself and assume that he since mentioned RPGs that you can play by yourself specifically and that he doesn't want to play online anymore, he's looking for an RPG that places a higher emphasis on story.

 

[indomitable1319]

leet.firefox is correct.

 

[Hordeon]

Diablo 2 (Old Classics)
or
Torchlight (New like Diablo with Better graphics and better gameplay.)

 

[Lich Prince]

edit: And DotA is an RPG.

What. The. Fuck.

Did you have to edit?

indomitable1319, did you try the RPG I linked? If not, try it-it can be played on singleplayer with equal enjoyability.

 

[indomitable1319]

I haven't tried out the RPG you linked.

Besides, I went to the Maps section and downloaded almost all of the Campaigns that appealed to me. It might take a while, but before I play Mordork's Quest Wood, I'll play Joe's Quest 1.5.

 

[En_Fuego]

Well, putting leet.firefox's comments aside (cake success!), I always thought it was common courtesy to make it clear what you edited when you edit in case someone is reading the thread while you're editing it.

Shit, sorry my courtesy offends you.

 

[Cihparg]

DotA isn't an RPG, it's AoS...

 

[En_Fuego]

RPG = Role Playing Game.

In DotA you take on the role of a defender of a said ancient and play the game.

It's not your typical adventure-quest like leet.firefox mentioned, but it's still an RPG regardless.

 

[leet.firefox]

DotA is an RPG, but we've already established this and the fact that that's not what OP is looking for. I'm not pointing fingers, OffGraphic, but let's move on from this discussion.

I almost forgot about Wanderers of Sorceria.

 

[indomitable1319]

TKoK is awesome! Thanks for suggesting.

 

[Gilles]

You're welcome. : )

hi there i'm going to take the words of a genre quite literally and put them into ways that fit me have a nice day though
i could say that oblivion is an rts because it has day and night and works in real time and i use strategies

 

[indomitable1319]

Oblivion is not an RTS for me.
It's purely the best RPG (Not on Computer; PS3 version) that I have played.
It has so many possibilities, awesome graphics and everything you need to craft your character into the best!
You can join so many factions, get so many weapons and anything else.

I've v99'd all my major skills, except Merchantile, that was a bad choice of skills. I'm a stealth/warrior/mage type, pretty much all-round. I can't take on multiple Gloom Wraiths and Nether Liches.

But I love Oblivion.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Uther Party (the map does have decent AI support if you're going for an offline play)
Survival
WarChasers

 

[indomitable1319]

Tried both, but not Survival yet.

quit forcing it, bro.

 

[Super-Sheep]

omg a thread about dota

 

[indomitable1319]

No, it's not about DotA.

 

[GhostThruster]

Toy Soldiers, Sharpshooter Online, Halo Blood Gulch, Gaias Retaliation. My suggestions.

 

[Darkzealot_128]

Tomb Of Jarachon is my favourite game. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Oh, people.

Role-playing game used to mean one thing only: Dungeons and Dragons. There is the Role-playing on the forums, the role-playing in your mother's basement with your shady friends, and, of course, the ever-infamous LARPing. But one thing they had in common was that it involved actual ROLE-PLAYING. As in, the storytelling amongst players assuming a role one creates.

Nowadays, people have extrapolated that meaning to any action-adventure game that involves levels. Yeah, I don't get it either. Perhaps in the past, a growing protagonist systems were rather rare, and the games that utilized one drew on the inspirations of dice-rolling games like DnD, and as gaming evolved and the entire genre grew increasingly popular, Role-Playing Games were no longer identified with the dice-rolling ages of before, and the DnD-style games now call themselves just "Role-Playing" or RP. As if they aren't a game.

In any case, if there's one thing of which I'm absolutely certain an RPG must include: Storytelling. DotA is a competition. Any story elements it includes are only there to add to the setting. You're not assuming any roles, like you said. You're just there to compete amongst other players.




So no, DotA is not an RPG. Case closed.

 

[GhostThruster]

RPG, to me, in electronic game terms, is any game where you control a single or group of avatars and doesn't have an incredibly linear storyline. Themes, plot and gameplay may vary. The best example is Oblivion, though World of Warcraft and Dungeons and Dragons are included.

 

[Darkness-4ever]

Try the Legend of Magnadora, its the best single player map I've ever played.

Edit: En_fuego Using your convoluted use of RPG, every game can be considered an RPG, as don't all games require you to play and to some extent take on a role? Example: Chess is an RPG because you take on the role of the white or black side when you play the board game.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Taking a shit would be considered as a RPG as well. You take the role of yourself and your noble quest is to use your anus to dump your poop in to the toilet and flush that poop in to the depths of hell.

^ Epic post right here.

 

[leet.firefox]

I think we get it now, thank you for that example.

 

[indomitable1319]

That was a perfect example, Dan Van Ohllus. +REP

 

[GhostThruster]

DAn.
I'm gonna take a guess out of the blue, but are you American Dan Van Ohllus?
