Title: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 14, 2013, 10:52:45 pm I get to choose 3 free games with my purchase of a 7950 graphics card. Here are the options:
-Saint's Row 4 -Hitman Absolution -Tomb Raider -Sleeping Dogs -Deus Ex Human Revolution -Sniper Elite v2 -Far Cry 3 -Dirt 3 -Dirty Showdown Which ones have you played and which 3 do you personally recommend above the rest? List the top 3 please. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Squire Grooktook on October 14, 2013, 11:34:03 pm Saints Row 3 was good fun, I haven't played 4 yet.
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 14, 2013, 11:47:40 pm well, that's not a top 3 list you gave me there, but honestly I doubt this topic is going to get a lot of views, much less a lot of contribution. I'll mark that down as my number one. i also heard good stuff about farcry 3 so that'll be my number two.
now i gotta choose a third game. leaning towards tomb raider actually. i heard that was pretty good too. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Squire Grooktook on October 15, 2013, 12:10:02 am Unfortunately, that's the only game/series I have experience with. Deus Ex I'm also interested in, but I'm told one of the earlier games is better (I think?)
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 15, 2013, 12:13:09 am oh okay. i think i'll still get that game for sure. i'll wait until tomorrow to see if anyone else posts and if not, i'll get the ones i posted above. thanks again.
anyway, it's time for me to hit the sack so i'll see you later squire Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: JabbaScrub on October 15, 2013, 06:08:15 am Deus Ex is the greatest game to play while impaired. Very few flaws, and they aren't big ones. Get it. I couldn't get into Far Cry 3, but it's supposed to be amazing. I'd really like to play Sleeping Dogs.
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: CitizenSoldier3 on October 15, 2013, 06:33:13 am Ive played tomb raider and hitman series, hitman is alot of sneaking and tomb raider has puzzles/thinking.

Get it. I couldn't get into Far Cry 3, but it's supposed to be amazing. I'd really like to play Sleeping Dogs. hmm, i thought deus ex ended up being a crappy game. i don't think i'll get that though. it's the type of game where you gotta make choices about everything right? i feel like those games are a little too slow. sleeping dogs is the same i bet, right? Ive played tomb raider and hitman series, hitman is alot of sneaking and tomb raider has puzzles/thinking. yeah i played the old school tomb raider games. i liked them back then and i heard this latest one was really good too. i think that's one of my choices for sure. hitman....eh, i can't say i've every played it but regardless, i think the last one that came out really sucked anyway. i think that's off my list. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 16, 2013, 03:19:42 pm Far Cry 3
Saints Row 4 for the lawls Sniper Elite for the camping Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 16, 2013, 08:17:13 pm Sniper elite was a good game?
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 16, 2013, 11:07:15 pm actually I'm not sure, you have a wheel right?

It's not crappy. It was my favorite game before I reached the final part, then it got pretty stale. Still haven't beaten it. But it's beautiful. Most cyberpunk worlds are drap structures of grey metal, but Deus Ex has a surreal feel with tons of nice ambient light and futuristic stylings. You don't really make many choices. There are maybe 6 dialogue sections throughout where you have to analyze someone's feelings, but you can upgrade your abilities to skip those. It doesn't have to be a slow game. Pretty much like every stealthy game, except they did the mechanics a lot better IMO. I'd suggest it over Tomb Raider.Title: Re: Which free games should I get?

I'll have to look up some gameplay videos online. by the way, that was a great paragraph description there. man. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: JabbaScrub on October 18, 2013, 12:40:51 am Aww shucks b)
Forgot to say, though. It is best played as a slow game. But it doesn't eel slow. Where most stealthy games have you just waiting for a guy to get close so you can silently take him down, Deus Ex never feels like it's wasting your time. I don't know how to explain it but yeah. You can always go the guns blazing route but that is pretty boring IMO. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 18, 2013, 07:45:27 pm okay, after talking to you guys and some other people i know, i've decided to get tomb raider, deus ex and sleeping dogs. thanks for all the help guys. i'm super indecisive so all the info really made it easier to choose.
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: JabbaScrub on October 19, 2013, 06:31:00 pm Yay, just get through the first one or two hours of tutorial crap. After that it gets better.
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 19, 2013, 07:51:04 pm Okey dokey. I'm playing through Tomb Raider at the moment. Playing on Ultra settings and getting 60 fps...man, this is so much better than console. WASD does takes a little getting used to but the mouse is so much more accurate. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 20, 2013, 01:11:59 pm I'm going to download Deus Ex now, Jabber. Your word; your balls. I hope for your sake that I enjoy it.
[spoiler]just kidding man. i ain't gonna do **** and i'll probably enjoy the game.[/spoiler] Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Squire Grooktook on October 20, 2013, 03:01:30 pm Speaking of free games, you should keep in mind that with emulators, you basically have access to every good old game from the ps1 era and under for free.
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 20, 2013, 03:18:45 pm yeah but then the nsa are going to come bust my door open and take me to the gulag.
also, jabber, I like the game. you got lucky but i guess i don't have to cut off your balls anymore. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Squire Grooktook on October 20, 2013, 05:15:38 pm yeah but then the nsa are going to come bust my door open and take me to the gulag. Nope. Only the people who attempt to illegally sell said roms and files are in danger of any kind of legal action.Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 20, 2013, 05:39:22 pm YOU SAY THAT NOW BUT WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE SITTING COZY IN A 4X7 CONCRETE CELL WITH SERGEI THE UNMATCHED
I'll probably still download some emulators. Please to post some safe emulators again for to download. Spasibo, comrade Squire. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Squire Grooktook on October 20, 2013, 07:32:16 pm Pretty much all emulators are safe. No one really cares is the issue.
The best emulators are as follows iirc Super Nes: - Znes Snes9x (for recording) - Nes: - Jnes - Sega Saturn: - SSF - Genesis: - I forget - Arcade: - Mame ShmupMame (fixes some input delay issues on a few games) Neo Final Alpha Burn (For netplaying certain games) - Gameboy/Game Boy Advance: - Visual Boy Advance - Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 20, 2013, 09:30:46 pm I'm going to go down the list and check those out then.
anyway, why does Deus Ex have such crappy graphics? Didn't it come out like last year? i cranked everything up and it still looks pretty crappy. tomb raider on the other hand looks amazing. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Laughing Turd on October 20, 2013, 11:08:49 pm oh hey, squire, do you know where i can get warcraft 2 and 3? it's for nostalgia so it's important.
Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: Squire Grooktook on October 20, 2013, 11:47:31 pm oh hey, squire, do you know where i can get warcraft 2 and 3? it's for nostalgia so it's important. Both Warcraft 3 and Starcraft: Brood War are still being stocked in most computer stores.I don't know where to get Warcraft 2. I have a friend I can ask though. It might be floating around for free on the internet at this point, Blizzards official online store (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/) at least doesn't have it. Title: Re: Which free games should I get? Post by: JabbaScrub on October 21, 2013, 11:30:41 am Not sure. I played on the PS3 and for that console they were great. I figured it would be beautiful on PC. :-[

I'm going to have to go to a few places and browse around. Thanks, m8. Not sure. I played on the PS3 and for that console they were great. I figured it would be beautiful on PC. :-[ You know what, I asked around and it turns out they used the console textures on the PC. They should be coming out with a graphics update in like 2 days, I believe. Don't get me wrong, it looks okay but anywhere near what you'd want on a PC. Title: Re: Which free games should I get?

I just checked their site and it looks like Warcraft 3 only works with XP or Vista. Oh well. Title: Re: Which free games should I get?
