I need a good game

If you like your single player RPGs, try DrakenSang. It's decent, although I'm still not sure I like the fact that it runs based on the exact rules of the paper game (D&D basically). I'm struggling with the whole 1D12 concept, so if you're familiar with it already, it should be a quick learning curve, whereas I'm reading the damn manual every few minutes.

Good visuals, so far decent story, good'ol fashioned cliche medieval characters, and plenty of weapons (or so I hear) and characters.
 
It's not so easy with a shitty manual. It's awful at explaining things.
Probably has to do with the fact that it's a German game originally.

Alienware makes good machines. Of course they aren't the best, that could be said of almost anything, but it's still a really nice computer, considering that it's 1&1/2 years old and it can run games that came out a few weeks ago.

As for DrakenSang, I'll give it a shot, I've already played games like Baldur's Gate and NWN1+2 so it should be pretty easy to pick up.
 
Alienware are good, but you're paying for the name, not the parts. I'd just prefer to build, or buy from some private custom build company.

I think we already discussed this. :P

But he's right, buy an Alienware if you want to say you have one, build your own if you want one that's truly worth it's grit.

Whoa, nice avatar Void, i've been listening to Ratatat quite a bit recently.
 
I simply use a hammer, some nails, scraps of metal, a defiblirator, and hot glue. Easy stuff.
 
Try Planescape: Torment or Psychonauts maybe. If you're a fan of roleplaying mixed with strategi, I recommend one of the Spellforce games or Dragonshards.

(Spellforce should be downloaded illegaly with some fixes because if you buy it, it seems to be bugged as hell.)

Drakensang is a good game. And it's no D&D, it's a German system called Das Schwarze Auge (The Dark Eye) which is way more popular there than D&D. Coming back to Drakensang, it's a one-timer thou. Funny, pretty, but after you finish it, you can't play it anymore. Too linear and the amount of items, spells is so LOW. Every time you play it, you play it more or less the same way. That's a huge flaw, imho. You have a game with a good skeleton (a well implemented RPG system, nice graphics, story) which barely uses it's capabilities. But I guess that after making some serious money on Drakensang, they might make the next game (which will be a prequel) a lot better.

To sum up. Those hours I spent on Drakensang (pretty long, but nothing compared to BG, ID or TES (which are boring as shit, imho)) were spent very pleasantly, but that's it. I just couldn't repeat that game, like I did with Fable (twice, lol), because there are maybe 2 'bigger' things throughout the game which you can do in another way.
 
I got stuck trying to kill a giant rat, and couldn't do it. I gave up.
I also bought Warhammer Online to hold me until D3.

Haha. Don't give up. And put off that rat until later, that's, actually, the only quest I had to delay throughout the whole game. But srsly, if you're already there, don't give up. That's where things start getting interesting.
 
I gotta walk all the way back outa that cave? Oh, screw that! :P
I'll bring that fucker down eventually.
 
Give the Prince of Persia Sands of time Trilogy a whirl. It's pretty cool, if you can withstand the fucking brutal difficulty you'll have fun with it. Saw the trilogy for sale for like 19 bucks, or you can just torrent it w/e.

The 3 games should keep you occupied for a little while.

Never got into the new Prince of Persia... just wasn't the same.

I played the newest PoP a few months ago and found that the computer controls were awful.
Liked the 1st one though (on my friend's PS2)
 
As for the PoP trilogy by Ubisoft. Warrior Within is definitely the best out of the three. The others don't have that mood. It's also that part that perfected the fighting system, imho. Why waste time for others, when you can play the essence? ;P

I preferred the Two Thrones.

Sands of time was way too cartoonish, and the story (Well, the way it was presented) was cheesy as fuck.

Warrior Within was like Ubisoft overreacting to the cartoonish mood of Sands of time, by deciding to coat every fucking thing with blood and guts. They also killed the Prince's character by giving him some extreme "batitude" which was lame. Although the gameplay was much improved (The combat was great), but way too dark.

Two Thrones did exactly what Warrior Within should have done, except it was not as dark and brutal as Warrior Within, while not being cartoonish and cheesey like Sands of time. It balances out.

Although I recommend playing them in respective order, you'll have fun playing through the entire trilogy and the story picks up at Warrior Within.
 
Warcraft III for uber value (free maps instead of Microsoft's assholeness of charging 10 dollars for 3 maps that aren't even bot-isable, at the very least?!)

Resident Evil 5 provides literally 140 hours of offline (split-screen, single player, system link) before you get bored.

Far Cry 2 has map editor, 50 hours of campaign and a map editor which isn't terrible like H3's.

There's some good value ones.
 
I would highly recommend Arx Fatalis if you havent played it, its old old old... game came out in november 2002 but i find it epic (since you said you played bethesdas games), also i would recommend a game for playstation 1 called Chrono Cross, It has the best story line in my opinion, also music for game is so epic, download ePSXe (emulator) and video plugin you can find it via google i think, download the game and play. If you cant find it i could search it for you if you are interested.
 
yea its awsome game i find it better than morrowind sometimes but morrowind is so much bigger to explore but you can cheat in like 100 ways (make pots and sell for more gold-easy alchemy of 100, than make potions for intelligence till you have your intelligence high enough to make potions that last x million sec and so on...). Try chrono cross too if ur not too lazy to look for emulator, plugin, and game to download.
 
well you can do that too but u'll probably hit a wall anyway lets not go to off topic here.

EDIT: hahahaha fund it on google
