Recommendations for New Gamer?
Neskah:
Cheers.
Troll and Evan, your attempt to shame me has been noted and smiled at. I don't see a problem with declaring my gender, as I'm not trying to impress or pick up ppl.
Yes I have a Game capable PC. Each time I ask my BF to upgrade her, he ensures she's up to scratch for gaming with him. Also I Art digitally sometimes so I must needs teh good graphocs.
I don't have a Console or handheld anymore, my ex did and thats how I played Pokemon.
I do want the orange box, but the BFs already gifted me Half life 2 and EPS 1&2... so wondering if it's worth it or if I should just get TF and Portal seperately.
I'm not sure about the Morrowmind suggestion, I've tried Oblivion, based on the assumption that as I'd tolerated FFXi I'd enjoy another RPG, but I found I didn't have enough direction in Oblivion. There were missions but none were critical, so I could just muck around, which I did as there was no real drive to accomplish anything particular.
I Must state I absolutely HATE games that involve any sort of econimics. Spending my saturday fishing or chopping wood so I can earn enough Gold to by the next sword is NOT my idea of fun. Don't get me started on my puzzlement over the Sims phenomena.
Id forgotten about resident evil, that was a game on my 'To play list"
I do enjoy car games, so was thinking about trying my hand at one of the GTA's
I managed to get my hands on American McGees Alice and just loved it to bits and peices as it was wonderful combination of my love of the Alice world and all things Macabre. But I seem to have misplaced the 2nd disk and can't locate another copy.
Steam is great but I'm working int he NZ dollor here so I $50 online would be about $100 for me. I prefer having the boxes anyway.
Nodaisho:
By car game do you mean racing game? Because I don't think GTA really has much of that. Playing racing games on the pc sucks pretty bad unless you have a gamepad, anyway.
Download Gametap, definitely, you can try some games there, and then you know more of what you do and don't like, so we can give more suggestions. You can also see if you can find demos for others.
I don't think Troll and Evan were trying to shame you. Troll was being a dick in a manner that passes for humor here, and Evan was being a dick in a manner that passes for humor elsewhere.
Darke:
If you enjoy shooting stuff you really should buy Left 4 Dead. I just spent the past 3 hours alternating between mowing down zombie hordes amid alot of frantic swearing, and pouncing on pathetic humans from rooftops before tearing them limb from limb with my disgusting clawhands.
If you have three other people you can play games with (fairly) regularly, you should definitely give it a try. Singleplayer gets a bit tedious as the friendly AI are... capable at the very best.
Reed:
If you can get a hold of them, try No One Lifes Forever 1 & 2. They are both excellent, quirky games about a witty, British, female secret agent in the 60's.
Neskah:
I Already have Left 4 Dead and and it's currently my favourite game.
So much so that my latest series of paintings have been about Zombies. Not the L4D characters, my own spin, but friends I've played L4D with, when popping round for coffee, take one look at my Easel and say I've been playing L4D too much hehehehe.
Sounds interesting Dire, what sort of situations does she get into?
I do like amusing games as well. I have a weak spot in my heart for the Lego series (Star Wars and Indiana) despite the fact they're still riddled with bugs. They pay homage to some of my favourite movies and are just so cute.
