What game should I get?

[TheQuirk]

I am getting a new computer, so, I might as well get a new game I can play on it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't run on Linux, BTW. Windows is OK. I am already getting WCIII, so don't mention it (glares at Macman). Any suggestions?

[Fett101]

Everquest. Then I wouldn't have to bother reading your posts. *Laughs maniacally*

Civilization
Grim Fandango
Driver
Diablo 2
MAME + Full ROM set

You didn't specify that you wanted new games, did you?

GTA 3 or Vice City.

defentally go for Diablo II and the Expansion.  (Battle Chest comes with Diablo II, Expansion, Diablo I, and Strategy Guides for $40 USD)  The game is worth every penny.  There is so much gameplay, and the Cinematics are amazing (although not as good as WCIII)  After all, it is made by Blizzard. Check it out here: Blizzards Diablo II Page

I've had it for over a year and I still play it everyday...best game ever.

Dang nabbit, the best game ever is either Grim Fandango or one of the Civillizations.

Civillizations are good     and worth your money. (3 especially)
but i still think diablo 2 kicks the crap out of it.

No, don't get Diablo II. It is a complete and utter waste of time. Same goes for Everquest.

You going to get the WC3 expansion Quirk? Comes out July 1 and it is going to be sweet (trust me, I've played the beta a bit)

Try Neverwinter Nights, its like Diablo II with a story and choices to make and the like.  Very good game.  If you ever played Balders Gate, its pretty much a sequel to that.  And it works on linux, they don't have a Linux port, but provide a Linux client making it run in wine (not winex) smoothely.

i think dark alliance is for console only....too bad.  They have baulders gate 1 and 2 both with expansions for pc though...good games

I have all the Blizzard games, so that rules W3 and D2 out. I think I will purchase Battlefield 1942 and Neverwinter Nights. Thanks for the replies.

i'd say, if you like first person shooters, get quake3. if you can wait a few months, get either doom3 or halflife 2, cause they both look awesome.

good choices.  BF1942 is amazing.  (get the expansion and the Desert Combat Mod)  its the best mod available.

NEVERWINTER NIGHTS SUX!!!!!!!

sorry    

I am a die hard Baldurs Gate fan. When I heard Neverwinter nights was comming I was sooo excited, I egerlly ran out and baught a copy. It was such a disapoimtment. Storyline is boring, gameplay is pathetic, all the quests are hunt and fetch, and the characters are not fleshed out.

Can I say also that I think that the Second Edition AD&D rules are much better, fair, and balanced.

I have been waiting for a game that would fill the hole left after I finished Baldurs Gate II still havent found it. Tho, Planescape:Torment is pretty darn good!

I have a theory about RPGs, the minute they go full 3d, they begin to suck monkey ass. I think it has something to do with sacrificing gameplay for graphics.

I regard Neverwinter Nights as kind of a Diablo II and Balder's Gate II in-between.  More Hack 'n Slash than BG2, but not as much as Dia2, more RPG than Dia2 but not as much as BG2.
