I really enjoyed it. I only beat it once but I plan on going back through all the difficulties eventually. I love looting games, though, so maybe I'm biased.

In that case, Torchlight and Torchlight 2. They're both amazing.

[gschwendt]

I've never gotten into Diablo or Torchlight simply because I hate the click to move games... similar to Dragon Age.

I have the first one on 360.

If you like games that make you feel like it's work to do anything, than Diablo 2 and 3 are your games. I'm SUPER biased because I LOVED 2 when I was in college, but I can't fuckin' stand 3 (the classes and their skills are all *** as fuck). I hated Torchlight because it was too silly and Torchlight 2 seems just more of the same (though I haven't played it).

I would definitely recommend checking out some of the indie games on Steam as QUITE a few of them don't have console ports and can be bought for cheap like:

Binding of Issac (GREAT rogue-like indie game)
VVVVVV (AWESOME platformer)
Terraria (2d Minecraft, but WAY better since it's more about combat and less about just fuckin' around)

Then you have some PC only games that are just fuckin' fantastic, like:

Team Fortress 2 (AMAZING free FPS)
Civilization 5 (awesome with the expansion, but if you're never played Civ games before, you can play without the expansion and have no idea that you're missing anything)
Shogun 2: Total War (my favorite of the Total War franchise - really fun RTS)


Guild Wars 2 is REALLY great, but it gets old quick (coming from someone that HATES normal MMOs but played GW2 for something in the neighborhood of 200 - 300 hours in the first 2 months but hasn't touched it in nearly a month now).

32" monitor is here (love newegg one day shipping) and as expected it's overkill, but I love it. I'll probably end up re-arranging my desk because now my body doesn't block the light from the window behind me anymore. Overall though, so far seemingly no strain on the eyes or anything.

I bet the HD porn is amazing.

PC game suggestions...

Crysis
DayZ (Arma 2: Combined Operations)
Black Mesa Source (free mod)
Metro 2033
Team Fortress
Binding of Isaac
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
Vessel
Bastion (on consoles I believe)
Braid (on consoles I believe)

As well, pretty much any console game is that much better on PC through mods or even just natively.

Witcher 2 if you haven't played it on 360. It's fantastic. As G said, Bastion and Binding of Isaac are both really good(I played Bastion on 360).

[oweb26]

I just bought torchlight 2 and haven't fired it up yet(outside of the demo) The click to move system is taking me sometime to get use to.

[I OU a Beatn]

I love click to move games. I don't know what it is, but if it's click to move and it has loot, I'll love it.

[JeffHCross]

PC's aren't expensive if you build them yourself (as I'm sure you know).

I do, though as of a few years ago that wasn't nearly as true. You could build cheaper than a Dell, sure, but a boutique shop like Voodoo or Falcon could give my own build a run for it's money, especially when you consider labor and reliability.

That's not enthusiast at all Jeff.

True. I was both saying I could have G's PC and an enthusiast PC. If I wanted to, I could easily drop a lot of money on a PC. No point in an expensive paperweight though.

Yeah, I figured... I just saw an opportunity to keep a running joke going.

Yeah, I know. You love that joke And, like always, I decided to go with the straight man response

Stealth Bastard Deluxe on Steam today

[I OU a Beatn]

I feel like punching myself in the face for not getting Doom 3 BFG when it was on sale for $11 yesterday at Green Man Gaming. Idiot.

[JBHuskers]

12/7 seems so far away right now. But at least it's a Friday so I'll be up all night setting shit up.

[I OU a Beatn]

It really bums me out that Green Man Gaming isn't allowed to sell Far Cry 3 in the States and Amazon is selling a version that requires Ubi's client. I guess I'll have to buy from Steam.

How does Dishonored look on PC, G? I noticed you were playing it the other day.

[I OU a Beatn]

Also, Alien Vs Predator is $4.99 today on GMG. Coupon code GMG25-G4VDR-0ZL4Q makes it $3.75.

How does Dishonored look on PC, G? I noticed you were playing it the other day.

It looks really good IMO... the graphics aren't mind blowing but for their style, they look good. The part I love is that loading is very fast... typically in games you'll see 15-30 seconds loading between areas, this is typically under 5 for me.

Here's a video showing the difference (very little) in PC vs consoles, however the big ticket item is at 2:45 showing just how much faster PC load time is.
