Re: Game Suggestion Thread

I'll start:

I want an RPG, preferably with no level cap(or at least, with no "achieving a maximum"). I've played many game types, such as WoW, I played the free month only, thought it was way to easy. BUT, this type of game is probably what I want(MMORPG).
I played Tibia for years. Its an unheard of MMORPG out of Germany I think, but has mostly USA servers, its a 2D RPG basically with no storyline, you just level and do random quests that have level req's.

I basically want something along these lines.
Tibia is also free to play, but you can pay for "Premium membership". A game like that would be nice(or very cheap game).

I prefer to have a game without a storyline, thats online and you have freedom to do whatever.
I've played Dungeon Siege and its great for LAN parties with friends, and I hear Diablo is similiar so I was going to get it(Diablo III that is), but I heard the reviews for it aren't great, and it just sounds like you play out the storyline and its done, even though its online.

I also really enjoyed League of Legends for the few months I played that. I just liked the strategy behind it, and that its free. But I hated the time commitment.


This is probably a really bad post, but:
cliffs:
-probably MMORPG, but strategy LOL type games are okay.
-huge time commitment is bad
-expensive is bad
-I want freedom; not a strict storyline
-online is a must


Suggestions?

Re: Game Suggestion Thread

I'm looking for a similar game.

Basically, I'm looking for an updated Darklands. Remember Darklands? Sandbox RPG with a storyline. Great skill progression.

Pocket Legends fulfills many of your requirements. There is a level cap, however, at like 60-something.

Re: Game Suggestion Thread

Randomized loot system ala Diablo, Torchlight, Borderlands
Can be dungeon crawler, FPS, or open-world RPG - don't really care
PC platform


I should probably just google "Diablo clone", but beyond the three listed above, any particularly good ones out there I'm not aware of? Played the Path of Exile beta for a few days and liked it, but have since moved away from it for D3.

Game doesn't really start until level cap, and even then depending on when you get there and start doing stuff it might not be challenging anymore thanks to all the nerfs (for example, if you were to hit 85 right now and start raiding, you'd probably say it's still too easy, but that's because we're at the end of the expansion and everything has been nerfed hard, except the T11 heroics). When content is current, it definitely poses a challenge. None of the low level stuff is supposed to be challenging.

If you actually want an MMORPG, WoW is probably going to be your best bet. But you have to keep in mind the game doesn't really start until you hit max level, which means there's a pretty big time commitment upfront. People can say what they want about WoW, but there's a reason it's still around and going strong relative to every other MMO out there.

And yeah, MMORPG and non-time committing don't really go together, so you might want to redefine exactly what it is you're looking for if the time commitment is a deal breaker. WoW can at times not require much time at all (there are people in my guild right now that log in for 2 hours a week since that's what it takes us to clear), but if raiding is your thing then during progression you'll have to spend anywhere from 8 hours on up per week just raiding, depending on your guild's raiding schedule.

I will suggest though that you check out Ogame if you haven't already. It's basically a browser-based MMO RTS which you can put as little or as much time into it as you want (though just like any game you'll never really do "well" by putting as little time as possible into it). The one thing I despised about this game though was that to do decently well after the beginning phase, you had to very carefully plan everything to fit into your life. If you play the game you'll figure out more about this kind of thing, but basically if you did your thing at night and planned on getting on it for just a second in the morning before work, you pretty much HAD to get on for that second in the morning before work, or else a lot of hard work and time could go completely to waste. If you're running late for work and don't have time to get on, or if you get stuck in traffic on the way home and can't get online till a couple hours after you planned, a lot of your **** could be gone, and that's just not fun imo.

Re: Game Suggestion Thread

I'll second the notion that WoW is your best bet if you are truly looking for an MMO experience.

The new expansion is coming out soon (rumors are at 2 to 3 months right now). The upfront time commitment below max level is getting shorter and easier. They're going to be adding some new avenues as to how you want to build your character and gear. Overall it will probably offer you the most variety in gameplay compared to any other MMO out there.
