Favorite PC Game

There are still some good PC games out there, Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor, any of the Assassins Creed game series.. Anyone who is a veteran of the driving games like Grand Theft Auto, Sainst Row, or Watchdogs will have no problem with the driving/chase sequences in Far Cry 4.
 
I just bought GTA 5 for the PC. Great graphics. You get to be 3 characters, Franklin, a black guy from the hood, Michael, a retired bank robber, and Trevor, a psychopathic killer. Of the 3, I like the black guy. He is the funniest, has the funniest friends and is a hoot to role play. The one thing I don't like, that was repeated from GTA 4 and probably all the other GTA's that I never played, is the flying aspect. There is a setup where I have to fly a plane as the psycho, Trevor. This flying sequence is probably going to make me abandon the game. I have no use for flying. I tried only one flying game, a DOS F-14 game, and I hated it. I never did any of the Microsoft flying simulator games, either. Yes, I tried flying for real, and I hated that, too. Give me terra firma in real life and in my games. I abandoned GTA 4, not only because of the flying but because of having to constantly repeat the missions after constantly failing. What ever happened to the concept of being able to save whenever you wanted? Skyrim is the last time I saw that in games.

Unlike GTA 4, which had tons of side missions, there are very few side missions. The player is left to aimlessly drive around with nothing to do. If this is an example of GTA, this will emphatically be the last GTA game I will every waste my money on, because I have the sinking feeling, I have done just that. What a disappointment, and it is all due to this lousy flying sequence. I suppose after failing enough times, I will eventually learn to fly the plane, but I don't give a rat's ass about flying, and it has ruined the game for me.

Flying in GTA IV isn´t easy but I had experience from Battlefield 2. I adjusted the chopper controls and were able to handle the helicopters. Not perfectly but just enough to do the missions. I remember a mission where you fly a helicopter for sightseeing with the mad car guy and his girlfriends. In another mission you must keep the chopper in a good firing position for the Rastafarian guy with his missile launcher. And there is a final mission in which you have to jump with the motorcycle correctly to the flying chopper, get in and take over the chopper thereafter, but there is also an alternative final mission.
 
Today, after crashing the plane a number of times, the game asked me if I wanted to skip the flying mission. Oh yeah, hell yeah! I skipped it. I discovered that you have the option of skipping every mission if you keep failing it. Franklin, the black guy had an assassination mission, and I kept shooting the wrong guy, and then my cover gets blown. The game is not real clear on what you have to do, or where the guy is that you're supposed to kill.

Tonight, I discovered a flying school in the lower part of the map. I have been attending flying school because there is another flying mission with Trevor, flying a helicopter. I really had a time in GTA 4 with flying a helicopter. On the flying lessons, they won't let you take the helicopter lessons until you master the fixed winged aircraft. I wish I could say I'm having a ball, but I don't like the part about the lessons. Unfortunately, if I want to finish the game, I'm going to have to master the flying lessons. I don't recall GTA 4 having a flying school, so a school in GTA 5 is a plus, but that's about all I can say for it. Like I say, I hate flying games.

I set up my HOTAS with Battlefield 2 and had an absolute blast with the choppers. The Cobra was killer, but the Huey was fun, as long as you had a decent crew. I was astounded how good the Avionics were in that game.

I agree. Later Battlefields ain´t that good in that discipline. The choppers don´t have to land gently now. Still good, though.
 
Dragon Age - Inquisition

Good concepts, decision making options that constantly change the dynamics and playability (gives the game re-play value as well).
Enormous amounts of options in creating game tools and supporting characters.
Strategic options that effect game results in real time playability ... Several levels of options from the Battlefield to the War Room (you can tailor your game).

Many linear quests ... Countless side quests ... Open world activities ... Resource allocation.
A wide expanse of characters with a plethora of conflicting attitudes that come into play during the game.
You also get to create your own character ... Including the way they look (all the way down to adjustable facial structures).



The graphics are great as well ... Both in the game and in the cinematics.

I didn't quite understand what you meant by HOTAS but Googled it. I guess you could say you have an advantage because you are simulating an actual flight stick. I, on the other hand must rely on my keyboard and mouse, or should I just say keyboard, even though I do have the right mouse key configured to also be the throttle along with the W key, but in flying, it must be necessary to have both hands on the keyboard. I usually get my rudder keys mixed up with the roll keys when under pressure. My flying has improved a little, but I still must complete all the fixed wing instructions before I can move on to the lessons for helicopter flying. For some reason, I can't figure out how to make the helicopter fly fast. It seems to only float in the air and slowly drift forward if I try to do the mission where Trevor has to drop Michael off on top of a building. After crashing the helicopter over and over and not given the option to skip the mission, I decided to take lessons. I buy games for the shooter aspect and don't like it when I have to take time from the storyline just to learn how to fly a frigging aircraft. Things should be simpler than that. Then again GTA 4 didn't even offer flight lessons. It was just fly and fail, fly and fail, until you got it right, or in my case just abandoning the game. At least, Watchdogs didn't have any sequences where you had to fly helicopters or planes. That must be why I finished that game.

It looks like a great game. Now if they make one where my web cam selfie can be morphed into a main character(as myself) I'll buy it.

If you look at a picture of yourself when customizing your character ... You can pretty much make yourself.

It takes a little skill and effort to do that ... But it is possible to make a definite likeness.
The "sliders" allow you to adjust every aspect of the facial features in detail.
There are 360 degree adjustments for all classifications in size, proximity and rotation of all facial features.

You can alter the skin tone and complexion, wrinkles around the eyes if you want to be older.
Crap ... You can even give yourself scars of all kinds that are adjustable in location and intensity.



Like where you busted your nose on your parent's bed when you were 2 years old.



And that is just making your character ... The detail in the game and production is awesome.
The only real drawback is the space the game requires on your hard drive and the system requirements.

Since all of the conditions are pretty much determined by your decisions ... There are multiple routes each aspect of the game can take.
The programmers had to develop all the possible routes you could choose and support those functions.
On the computer ... The game is huge (over 30 Gb) and comes on 4 discs.

Oh ... And I forgot to mention that your armor is completely customized.
Not only in attributes (determined by what materials you collect and want to use) ... But by the character as well.
You can make the same armor for two different characters ... And it will look completely different on another character (incorporates each character's "style").

Sounds cool. I got plenty of disc space. Now I need time to play(after I buy it and download those four discs,etc. etc.).
 
I finished Dragon Age Inquisition this winter. It was one awesome game, though I didn't like all the keys you had to configure to do certain fighting moves. Skyrim's fighting sequences were much better.

Yeah ... I liked Skyrim for a little while ... But once I got my smithing, alchemy and enchanting up ... It was too easy.
I could run around in sneak wearing light armor (liked the way the Pentus Octius armor looked) with an ebony dagger or bow and kill anything I came across with one shot or stab.

Hi guys..i mostly play these games on my pc..Battlefield 3. Need for speed, tekken 3 and vice city....Tell me guys...which game are you playing on your pc.?

World of Warcraft.
I am a P&P Dungeons & Dragons GM. Went to Ultima on the Commodore. Moved on to Final Fantasy on Nintendo. Back to the pc for Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Neverwinter's Night............ I tried Star Wars. I tried several others............then WoW came out and that's where I've been since day one.

I played it with different characters, elves, Bretons, but mostly as a Nord. I got my magic skills up along with my fighting skills. I didn't like the two-handed sword much because it was too hard to cover up. Of course, I was an expert with the bow. There was a way to get quick skills with the bow if you used the wood elf at the beginning of the game. I paid for archery lessons. Then took him as a companion and took back the money I had paid for lessons. Then released him from my employ. I then hired him again to teach me more. I then took him as a companion again and retook the money. I thought that was a chintzy way to get lessons, but hey, it's only a game.
 
This was really a hard battle. It took some hours.
