Slick 101's thread is cool, but I'm never really surprised by pc games and don't want to prattle on about old console games, so I thought Ii'd post this so I didn't feel left out.

What game did...

The game wasn't meant to be hard, it was meant to be a technical, precise platformer -- without technical, precise challenges there's no game.

If you don't want to play a platformer with super...

RDR just isn't really that good of a game. It starts out AMAZING and slowly turns into the world's most boring corridor shooter -- every level is kill 40(!) enemies in a wide open field with auto...

The clash is my favorite all time band. Something nobody's heard of to contribute: Barely punk, wandering off into odd melodic corners of hardcore is The Men from new york city.

Perhaps the sticking point here is the phrase 'changed my beliefs'? Certainly I can't think of any book that's caused an instant, polar shift in my ideology -- a book or a movie can't suddenly...

I played the first few missions, and had a lot of fun, thanks for having me guys.


Jailbreak was precisely the kind of disaster that makes arma so fun. I was alpha's bradley gunner, and was...

Great posts everyone. The thread suddenly got smart!

Zetetic, excellent post and point, It makes a lot of sense to say games like cod, that contextualize and encourage but don't offer commentary...

I have a slightly different take on this. I think violence is interesting to us in media for purely aesthetic reasons. We enjoy it because we enjoy seeing cause and effect, and thorough simulation....

I'm looking for games that address or edify morality as a central theme. Not games that simply feature moral protagonists -- and i'm looking for games that are intelligent about it, not merely...

Yeah, I wrote "Have you played any games you saw as strongly moralistic?" to secretly trick you into telling me about games that I was too lazy to research. You caught me.

The bioware example doesn't hold up at all -- you're rewarded for either path, just differently. Typically xp and items on one, xp and money on the other. It's not inherently bad, but it's vapid,...

My favorite part of PR is co-op mode, which i like to call 'racist left for dead'

Hundreds upon hundreds of brown people shamble mindlessly into the road.

I love games like that too! I'm glad plenty of games like that get made ever year! But that doesn't make the absence of games that do have a moral message any less appalling.

Is it just me, or have you guys noticed that gaming is saturated with vapid, sociopathic murder simulators?

I don't just mean your calls of duty and your halves of lives, either -- civillization,...

Alright, I applied with my 1000 tv skaven elites, the Rotschild group.

Any rpg or strategy game with a USABLE INTERFACE. Xcom, Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, and a few others are great, but i cannot even count how many old games i cannot get into because of their...

While I certainly think it's pretty appallingly ill-advised to place basic weapons and powerups integral to your game behind locked doors, the pc gamer backlash to the concept is utterly ludicrous.

Hey, not to muck up your thread, but I finally bought legendary edition over the weekend deal steam sale. I have a decent grasp of the rules, and am not unfamiliar with dice based games.

What...

I have a hard time getting into most roguelikes, but i LOVE Incursion, which has been mentioned in here before. It's grounded in d&d rules, but not bound to them, and it's extremely user friendly and...

I'm Joseph. I own sword of the stars, and just now bloodbowl, but have nobody to play either game with.

And I read rps daily.

Perhaps, i thought to myself, I could compound all these issues...
