Poll: Gaming advice

[kitabatake12]

As you recommended me to play Skyrim and DAO, I am looking for something similar.
I really like this type of game, and you should check the poll. (I don't own them all, I can get them at a low price)
Thanks.

New Vegas will be most like Skyrim. Heavily modded Skyrim is worth it but if you just played it Vanilla then you may still get bored. Borderlands 2 is all action with the only concessions to role-playing being a level and skill system and loot. Just Cause 2 is basically GTA in a war zone, although it is ridiculous good fun.

I'd probably play JC2 first- it's stupidly cheap, and while you can potentially blow hundreds of hours getting every mission and winning every race, you can also finish it in about 4 hours whenever you get sick of it.

Go back to Skyrim, with mods, once you've forgotten most of your Skyrim experience, it will be more fun that way.

 

[kitabatake12]

I played Skyrim with 3-4 mods only.
I will try to find mods for every game out there when I am going to play them, I saw that NW got tons of mods

 

[Rozalia1]

Watch Dogs. Very dull list, but with Watch Dogs being shinier it should be the better experience.

 

[kitabatake12]

Well yea... they are cheaper now and I don't have much money... so I have nothing to say.
Maybe with the right mods they will be better. I must search deeper

Ehh, just go and play Skyrim with a lot of mods. You'll end up getting bored of it eventually most likely, but there's some really cool ones out there and an impressive variety of them. These days I pretty much just look at Bethesda games as nothing but a basic platform for modders to build their own creations with. So go wild with it, if you've got the patience to get them all up and running together.

 

[kitabatake12]

Okay as long as it has a lot of guns (I love guns and cars ).
Thanks for your opinions, you can vote on the poll also

Juuuuuuuuuuust Cause...Too. Seriously, Just Cause 2, it's huge and open. There are fighter jets, you blow shit up, there are monuments to destroy...it's an incredible sandbox to play in. New Vegas is a ton of fun too but it's a different kind of fun.

Just Cause 2.

Most awesome choice on that whole list that doesn't involve flooding a decent game with unstable mods.

Out of curiosity, how many Skyrim mods do you have? Currently I have 150 or so and I CTD every 5 minutes. Shit's not fun.

 

[kitabatake12]

Well for skyrim I have only better graphic mod (don't know the name), better blood, and some new spells
EDIT: I found Sleeping Dogs is it good?
Placed in pool.

Fallout: New Vegas. Its a better done Fallout 3, with a more interesting story/world/DLCs/everything. It also has a great modding comunity and a ton of mods (im not shure if on the workshop but nexus has over 14k mods for F:NV)

 

[Rabbitboy]

I enjoyed Sleeping Dogs but if you are going for a sandbox game I would recommend Just Cause 2. For comparison I have put 23 hours in sleeping dogs versus 73 hours in just cause 2

 

[laggyteabag]

Well, given the options, i'd go for Borderlands 2. Damn that game is hilarious and a blast to go through.

It is better with friends, but I have done more than one playthrough on my own, so if you dont have anyone that can, you will still be okay.

I will play alone.

And thanks for your opinions

Actually those are all very tempting choices. I can't really decide for myself. Skyrim isn't "little time" material, I'll say that much. Maybe Watch_Dogs?

 

[Dark Prophet]

New Vegas cause if you are not mad like me and won't try to do everything you'll get 20-30 hours of fun with good story and an interesting world which you can save or totally fuck up. Plus seeing a bandits body flying into one and all of it's limbs into different compass directions never stops amusing me.

 

[Battenberg]

I voted for Borderlands 2. Not because it was the closest to Skyrim but because it is the game I've had the most fun with and considered most worth my time on that list. Although I should mention that was playing with a friend, I don't think it would have been quite the same excellent experience playing single player. Also if you haven't already played Borderlands 1 start with that, if only because you can get it insanely cheap now [http://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/borderlands-game-of-the-year-edition-pc-cd-key-steam].

New Vegas and Skyrim are both heavily modded versions of Morrowind (which is why they both use what is, at its core, a janky-ass game engine from 1997 with a dozen "coats of paint" attempting to disguise how poorly it has aged).
So yea, the modern Elder Scrolls and modern Fallout games are basically the same.

 

[Rolaoi]

Just Cause 2 is the best game on the list. It can feel a little restricting for a sandbox, but it's one of the few games I've played which attempted and captured the feeling of chaotic fun.

 

[loc978]

...Heavily modded Fallout: New Vegas, depending on your taste I suppose.

Spoiler: a few suggestions

New Vegas Script Extender [http://nvse.silverlock.org/] -Required for almost everything

Fellout [http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34888/?] -removes the orange haze, makes for real darkness at night
Project Nevada [http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40040/?] -massive rebalance, adds tons of verisimilitude and combat options, fully configurable.
Flashlight [http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/39968/?] -self-explanatory
Collectible Canteens [http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/37960/?] -logical solution to the water problem on hardcore mode... refillable canteens with some drink recipes attached.

New Vegas Strip overhaul [http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40429/?] -removes the separate instances from the strip, and makes the whole thing seem more prosperous, in line with what Mr. House claims to have done with it... and the beginning cinematic. Requires a somewhat powerful PC, at least for this game engine.

NoCol [http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/36942/?] -removes all invisible walls.
