I need new games...Suggestions??
Hi! Video games have gotten quite boring to me recently, and I'm not sure why. Last game I played was last month when Life is Strange Ep. 2 came out, and I haven't touched a game since. Anyway, I need something interesting to shake things up. Would it help if I listed some games I've played before?
- Uncharted Series
- The Last of Us
- Bioshock Infinite
- RE4
- Final Fantasy 10
- Final Fantasy 13
- Tomb Raider
- Skyrim
- Borderlands (1)
- Kingdom Hearts
- Spec Ops: The Line
- Heavy Rain
- Mirror's Edge
- Telltale (TWD to GoT)
- Life is Strange
Heard Fallout 3 and Red Dead Redemption were really good, and kind of thinking about that. What do you guys think? Open to anything..

Play BL2, and maybe buy the old Sly games and play them? They were my childhood, so I might just like them because it's nostalgia to me.
The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands
Some of Telltale's older games require you to think more. Maybe that's what you need.
Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island, and Hector all require that you figure things out before you can progress in the game.
There's also Puzzle Agent, which gives you a series of puzzles to solve in order to learn what's going on.
None of these will stress your graphics card much, but that's not really the point of them.
I'd recommend...
Fallout 3 is good. Never played it, though, but since it was made by Bethesda, it is likely to be worth your while. Fallout: New Vegas is also quite good.
R.I.P. my eyes
I thought it said "TWD and GoT"
If nothing else, certainly check out Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse. It's a great blend of classic and modern Telltale games with puzzles and cinematic presentation.
It happens with everyone from time to time.
Should I play the older ones in order to understand the story? Or no need?
Telltale's older games aren't as point and click as their newer stuff right?
Telltale's older games are probably pointier and clickier. These aren't the type-text adventures from long ago.
Sly Cooper right?
Don't worry, I know the feeling.
Ooh, those all look great!
Maybe watch a fallout lore video or something but you should be fine starting with fallout 3, the game gives a decent summary. Its open world RPG
They aren't directly connected, so no, you don't need to.
I don't know what I was thinking. Got it backwards. Thanks!
As WarpSpeed said, the older titles from Telltale allow for more player freedom and the dialogue prompts aren't time limited. You can walk around much more often, and the environment is more interactive than a modern Telltale game. One thing that might throw you off, inventory items are more heavily used in the older games and unlike modern Telltale games, you aren't given a prompt when you can use a certain item when you look at something in an environment. Instead, they want you to figure out when to use an inventory item for the puzzle solving.
If you do like the choice system, you should try out The Stanley Parable.
Also... The Witcher series, Metro, Outlast?
Arma 3
Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm
Verdun
Insurgency
Fallout 3
Red Dead Redemption
Crusader Kings II
Mount and Blade: Warband
Rise of Nations
Europa Universalis 4
Also re: fallout, if you're looking for a more narrative, choice based experience, New Vegas is a better bet than Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is better in terms of exploration (arguably).
Of course, both if you have the money haha.
New Vegas had more choices, but I enjoyed the storyline of 3 way more.
Holy cheeseballs, those look amazing...
I'd probably end up doing that anyway
Do that. Both are a lot of fun, and even better with mods. I would suggest playing 3 before New Vegas, but that's just because 3, like Flog said, has less alternate paths. I still found it more replayable, but that might just be me.
You will need a shitload of free time, though :>
Then let it begin...
It's like twice as long, with more dialogue option variances as well as choice ones.
And yet the atmosphere and narrative of 3 still interested me so much more. In this instance I prefer the more immersive, yet linear, experience. Most people I know prefer 3, but some do prefer NV. Both are good, 3 is just better for me personally.
You might like To The Moon from Freebird Games.
To The Moon
I just finished Shadow of Mordor the other day and it was pretty good. The nemesis system in that game can make things interesting. It might have the most satisfying killing of an enemy in a game I can remember.
Red Dead Redemption and Fallout 3 are great choices actually.
May I suggest Hotline Miami?
I'd recommend checking out Army of Two: The 40th Day. It's a woefully underappreciated game with both great co-op and a surprisingly amazing AI partner that can more than hold their own in single-player. Plus the weapon customization is the most in depth and extensive of any game ever. And is infectiously addicting to master.
I had a good time playing that with a friend. I can also recommend this one.
I've just been playing MMO's to keep myself busy while games come out
I recently played a game called Valiant Hearts. It's set during the Great War and is packed with cool historical tidbits and facts. I've always loved history, so if you don't like learning about wars or anything you might want to steer clear. It follows the war journeys of several characters. It's a puzzle platformer. Overall it's a beautiful and very informative game. And it's free with PSN plus
In New Vegas if someone pisses you off, you can straight up murder them. Fallout 3 has a lot of those characters that just go unconscous and are immortal like Elder Scrolls games. It's a big factor to me between the two games. But then again, there are cazadores, and Fallout three has some much cooler locations.
The first two Dead Space games, Dishonored, Deus Ex Human Revolution.
