PC Game Recommendations

Alright here's the deal. I'm going to be away on business for the next 5 weeks or so, and I won't have my 360 with me.

I'm looking for recommendations for a PC game that could hold me over for about a month during my time away. I'm bringing my laptop, and it isn't great but can play some games. It can handle Empire: Total War to a degree (can't play battles out, or at least lag free) but I don't think it would do great with games that require high end computers.

My laptop specs are: Core 2 duo, 2gb ram, 1.83 Ghz, and my graphics card is a ATI Radeon x1400 (shitty, I know, but it's a 2 year old laptop).

I like most game genres, so I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks.

my fav pc game is Team Fortress 2, but thats multiplayer online only. not sure if your setup would handle it. Mine does great. On the converse, Empire Total War was unplayable for me...and im not sure why. My system is only a year old. My brother says its great on his.

If you havent played Portal, thats a great single player game.

Team Fortress 2 is actually a pretty good idea. I might look into that. I have it for 360 and enjoy it but not many people play it on 360. It'll probably remind me of my old love affair of Team Fortress Classic and Counter-Strike.

I'm also thinking about Bioshock and Crysis, but I don't know if either of those would last me a month.

Yeah, you really can't beat TF2 as long as your connection will be good. I just love class based shooters, if done correctly and with quality no multi-player experience is better IMO.

Maybe try Civ IV if you haven't picked it up. That is definitely a time sinker.

Warcraft 3 is old but I still love playing the campaign every so often.

Just wanted to pop in and help this dude out! I mainly like RPGs and Strategy games for killing time. (when I cant get on WoW or DAoC)

Star Wars Knights of the Old Repbulic (RPG) Also look at the sequel altho not as good as the first.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (Turn Based Strategy)

Zork Grand Inquisitor - Point and click adventure and also the last graphical Zork game made as far as I know.

Command & Conquer (RTS) Any of them are great!

Neverwinter Nights (RPG) Theres a sequel also here, but again not as good as the first.

Oblivion - Not sure if your comp can handle this one.

Thief - First Person Stealth

Brothers In Arms Earned In Blood (FPS) I was actually surprised that this game was pretty decent.

Quick list of some of my favorites - these are based on no internet connection and are mostly singleplayer. Some of these are also fairly old.

KOTOR is a great game, played it and loved it. I'll have to check out the rest. Neverwinter Nights 2 is only $5 this week from Direct2Drive so I'll look at that one. I played Oblivion a lot on Xbox 360 and enjoyed it so I might look into that since I have read there are a lot of good mods for PC.

Diablo 2.. terrific time sink if you're bored, you can go on or offline and play (on is free too), and still one of the best storylines I've come across. I'd suggest Diablo 3, but I've not heard a word on its release in months, which makes me have a sad face :(

Oh, and there's a utility they've released now to allow you play without having to load up the disc into the CD tray, so a full install will mean no swapping and no whirring CD-ROM drives.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
