I have some cash to blow, and rather than get a steady girlfriend, I'm looking for some games to get

ultama is fucking useless at this, so I turn to you lot.

What are some good rtses and fpses that won't make my eyes bleed?

i, too, am looking for some

RTS - Men of War
FPS - Entire BiA series, ArmA and ArmA II, Fallout 3 (if you can look past Bethesda's laziness - all the characters look and sound the same, but otherwise it's pretty good), Red Orchestra: Ostfront and mods, Killing Floor, both Stalkers. I dunno what you do or don't have, but whatever.

In the case of the Stalkers and FO3, you've got not just hours but days, possibly weeks of SP gaming right there. ArmA and II both have their own editors so you can create your own missions until the cows come home; can't say I've finished either but there's always MP to keep you busy. BiA will keep you occupied for a while and RO/KF are good for MP.

MoW has SP, but it's iffy at times - MP is good, though.

Go play Supreme Commander.

[Jelly]

Play Eve. It's pretty good if you turn off the interface and watch ships undock from jita.

[Llama Juice]

Do you have an Xbox 360? Purchase Hour of Victory off Amazon used. You won't regret it.

[Ganon]

hehe buying games... i'd honestly say wait, unless you expect another cash flux. some great games are coming soon, sc2, re5, codmf 2, ac2, painkiller ressurection, doom 4... #__#

[neuro]

Prototypeis alot of fun, and has excellent replayability.

ripping apart people in as many different ways as possible never gets old :P

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Prototype, Fallout 3, Gmod, TF2, (if you don't have them yet, lol)

What are some games like EVE that don't have a subscription? An RTS is fine.

[Jelly]

X3 Reunion?
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X3_Reunion)

[rossmum]

I've been wondering how that game was for a while, what's it like?

e/ yes asking for your opinion
e/ holy shit that is a lot of words

[Cojafoji]

SUP COM SUP COM SUP COM SUP COM SUP COM

Sins of a Solar Empire. I've never played it personally but I hear nothing but good things about it and long battles. I would try it but I don't think I want to waste my time fighting a single battle for 4 hours. Not unless it was some super awesome FPS that didn't suck because all teh people online were dumb ass idiots.

[343guiltymc]

I played Sins, it was same experience I had with Supreme Commander, it was hard to get into at first because the game starts out so slow.

[TomClancy]

Play Eve. It's pretty good if you turn off the interface and watch ships undock from jita.

Finally another EVE player!
Not to derail, but what race are you? Minmatar here, been playing since last July, got around 16mil SP.

Also, Supreme Commander like many have suggested, amazing RTS. Probably my favorite of all time. (I can't wait for SupCom 2 to come out!)

[MetKiller Joe]

I'm very tempted to play Eve Online. One of the only reasons I quite WoW (other than the constant grind) was that nobody I knew was on it.

Still, the subscriptions for it are quite expensive.

[neuro]

eve isn't really a game, it's more of a device that asks you to pay for waiting for something to happen.

[TomClancy]

Still, the subscriptions for it are quite expensive.

It can actually be cheaper than WoW if you pay via Credit card and buy more than a month at a time. (I can buy a 3-month package for $38 online) or for $35, get a 2-month pass in store. I think a 12-month package runs for around $120, so you're saving ~$60. And if money is tight you can pay for one month then pay with ingame currency from then on. (Granted, this isn't always reliable, as prices for these PLEX Cards (Pilot License Extension) can fluctuate depending on where the market is at. For the past 4 months I've been dishing out 300mil for 30 more days, which isn't that difficult to come by once you're decently far into the game (Friend of mine has 21bil atm). I recommend just paying with $ though, much easier and less taxing if you don't have all the time in the world to play EVE.

But Neuro is almost correct, if you have no one to play with it is pretty boring. When I started, I had 3-4 good friends that played, so it was tons of fun. Trust me on that one.

Battlefield 2 is kind of a mix of both... does better at being an FPS though imo.

Other than that, Unreal Tournament 3 for a hi-resolution retro-style fragfest, WolfTeam for a free counter-strike clone, and Quake Live, simply because it's a free port of Quake 3 that you can play in your fucking browser.

Loldari here. Only been playing since january though, so just breaking the 7mill skillpoint mark.

[Llama Juice]

My teachers play Eve lol

Oh nice, sounds awesome! What's your ingame name? I'll see if I've run into you at all, haha. (I actually live in Caldari space, Oipo is the system. Just a few jumps from Piak..)

And nice Llama. How did you find out he plays EVE? Or has he told you before? :P

I've been hearing really positive reviews for this game, so I'll definitely check that out :p

Why are you so gay????

Have UT3, but a bunch of 2f2f friends play BF2, so I'll check that out.


Go play Supreme Commander.

I'll look at those too.

[Cortexian]

Freelancer is a GREAT singleplayer game and the multiplayer can be decent on certain mod servers.

Earth and Beyond is an awesome abandonware mmorpg that's like a cross of Freelancer and EvE Online. Since the official game server shut down in 2004 you'll need to play on an emulated server, check out enb-emulator.com for info.

[343guiltymc]

Anybody suggest a Racing game? I wanted to try GTR2, but I can't seem to find a copy here in Canada............

[NullZero]

I third eve though only started playing.

I must be gay then

My favorite game, even above EVE.

The storyline wasn't very good, if you're looking for a 3d modeling platform, you should try Blender. Much higher difficulty level and the control scheme is different, though.

Holy fuck that game is awesome in a childish play as a werewolf and SHOOTAN way :iamafag:
