Yeah I might replay those but I want something new that I haven't played.


Also strategy games aren't allowed unless they're extremely good(better than civilization)

There are actually a lot if you think about it. What have you played/beat and what specifically would you like to avoid aside from those listed?

yeah, that's kinda my stumbling point with pc games because i don't really give a shit about most strategy games and that's what a lot of the pc-specific games end up being because a controller is completely unintuitive for a strategy game. they otherwise port fucking everything. the only one i've ever liked was activision's call to power ripoff of civilization, which i actually liked a lot more than the sid meier civilization games.

if you have any fondness for rpgs at all, anachronox would be a good bet if you haven't played it. it's really the only console-style rpg that doesn't make you feel totally fucking stupid for playing it.

and i know you said NO FPS, and i don't blame you, but play system shock 2 if you haven't already played it. i don't think there's ever been a better made videogame.

yeah i don't really know what else to suggest. i might get hell for this, but i don't really think there are a lot of truly outstanding pc-specific games. usually if it was JUST for pc there was something fucking wrong with it in the first place that made it unworthy of a port.

have you tried 78641????

Freespace 2. It's First person, and you shoot, but I wouldn't really call it an FPS at all.

are you only looking for newer games or are you just looking for ANY pc games because if you wanna play old shit i'd just go to abandonia and start looking around, you'll definitely find something that sounds interesting to you
