Finally getting into the series, love sci-fi stuff just never got around to playing

>finally getting into the series, love sci-fi stuff just never got around to playing
>brand spanking new rig, can run everything on high or max
>go to get ME series from steam
>Mass Effect 3 is not on PC

.....what the fucking fuck? So I just play the other 2 and then borrow my friends PS3 or something? This is bullshit.

ME thread I guess.

>Mass Effect 3 is not on PC

>>Mass Effect 3 is not on PC
If only they'd spared us.
But alas. It is on pc, you're just retarded.

ME3 is Origin exclusive. You wanna play it, you gotta suck it up, and install Origin.

user here's the thing about EA...

It's on Origin you retarded piece of shit, Steam isn't the entirety of the PC market.

That said, pirate the whole shit, so you get all the DLC missing from the Steam versions and don't feel extra shitty for investing money on top of time on the series once you see ME3's ending.

Your gonna have to use Origin senpai, it's fucking shit. But why would you wanna play ME3 anyways

Oh, my bad.
So basically I have to get Steam part II: EA Edition just to play the last game of the trilogy. Kind of stupid, but whatever.

Or yea, maybe I will just pirate it
I'm new to PC gaming, obviously. While I have you all here though, any suggestions on good PC games? RPGs, shooters, mmo, whatever the fuck I don't care, I just wanna play some games this holiday break.

Dark souls
Rising
Phantom Pain
Doom
GTA V
DA1
Morrowind (get mods to make it loks better)
Fallout: NV
Deus Ex: All of them.
System Shock
Bioshock 1
Alpha Protocol

Here an advice: You buy the Mass Effect Trilogy on Origin when it's on sales then pirate the games with all DLCs
>Good PC games
Warband
Stalker
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

>MMO

WoW (yes it is fun especially if you're a new player, you won't have all the vanilla oldschool player complaints because you weren't play the game then, it's good...well it's okay, and fun at least, which is the point of video games, right?)

FF XIV
Black Desert if for nothing else but the character creator

Uhhh..are there any other good MMOs guys?
R-runescape?

LoL

Spelled Dota wrong mate.

>russian-infested hellhole

Why would you do that?

>Dark souls
Maybe the first one, II and III are awful
>Rising
Lmfao. Or he could play a good hack and slash not based off a shitty overrated franchise

>Phantom Pain
Uh..not if he doesn't play Metal Gear, horrible game to start the series on. Even if he does, it's still shit
>Doom
Maybe for single player, and then delete it forever
>GTA V
Finally, you named a good game!
>DA1
Yes
>Morrowind (get mods to make it loks better)
Yes

>Fallout: NV
Yes
>Deus Ex: All of them.
No.
>System Shock
Yes
>Bioshock 1
Overrated as fuck. Maybe pirate this one
>Alpha Protocol
Hahahahahahahhahaa you want him to get kane and lynch too?

>12 year old epicenter

Why would you do that?
MOBAs are shit, the correct answer is not to suggest any

Deus Ex (the original one)
System Shock: Enhanced Edition
System Shock 2
X-COM (classics and the remake)
Postal 2
The Witcher
ARMA II + the expansions

You can get all of these games for like 20 bucks from steam during sales.

...

>ME3 is not on PC

Mass Effects is for casuals in the first place kiddo

And then there's this guy.

but im right tho

No you're not, that's the point. You've got your head so far up your ass from sniffing your own farts that you can't differentiate your opinions from the truth, the truth being that video game opinions are opinions, not some shiny truth given unto thee by an archangel from heaven.

So I posted mine, where are yours?
A lot of those games simply aren't that great. I mean Alpha fucking Protocol?

>I mean a video fucking game?
Yeah how dare they play video games.

Also, sparing someone from playing shitty games and wasted Hard Drive space is nothing short of being a guiding, glistening, guardian angel, faggot.

>I mean Alpha fucking Protocol?
Alpha Protocol is the best interactive story of all time, idiot. And the gameplay is perfectly passable.

Yeah man loll superman 64 and big rigs are great haha! Duke Nukem Forever too, solid title! Video games are all fun and if someone suggests their opinion on which someone should get I can't disasgree with them with my own opinion hahah!

Go get ready for school, mommy pack your lunch yet?

Hey great opinion. I disagree though, so I figured I'd post mine on a board where people share opinions/suggestions.
The angry kiddie bridgade is out in full force, can't handle when an opinion doesn't match up with your own shitty ones. Cute.

>sparing someone from trying video games and forming an opinion of his own is nothing short of being a guiding, glistening, guardian angel

Yeah, whatever amigo, keep huffing those farts.

>Played through ME1 several times back in 2007-8 when it launched on 360
>Recently picked it up on Steam, figured I'd replay it since it'd been years
>Start it up
>...
>It plays like absolute dogshit
They really should just remake ME1 and improve the TPS gameplay. Goddamn its so shit.

>I can post my opinion and talk about how that's all saying a game is good or bad is
>but if you disagree with my personal taste you're just an asshole!

Keep being the biggest hypocritical idiot around, mate.

*huffs*

*puffs*

You still haven't posted anything remotely approaching an opinion on anything, though. Looking at your handwaving of that other guy's list, your taste is shite tho, so maybe you'll spare us.

Good taste except for GTA5.

So wtf happens with the geth in 3 if you get tali killed in 2. No desert drama or does her role get picked up by some other space gypsy?

>You still haven't posted anything remotely approaching an opinion on anything, though

Only I have, you just disagree with it. Which is fine, but you need to remove your head from your ass now. OP doesn't have to listen to my post, he also doesn't have to listen to the guy I responded to.

He actually is free, like you and I, to form his own opinions on games and pick what he likes.

What's wrong with GTA V?

It's popular.

Casualized, consolized SJW garbage with POC protagonist shoehorned in for no reason

So Is Dark Souls, Morrowind, New Vegas and DA1.

What's the requirements for Sup Forums to accept a popular game again? It actually has to be good or something?

>any of those comparable in popularity to motherfucking GTA

Heh

I'd rather play an actual game with russian scum than play it's retardedly uninspired weeaboo 11-year old targeted reboot.

>Betehsda games aren't just as popular as ROckstar ones

Get out from under your rock. I'll give you Dark Souls, though at this point it's gone full mainstream. You're psycho if you don't think Fallout and Elder Scrolls aren't just as known as Grand Theft Auto.

>Elder Scrolls

Elder Scrolls isn't popular. Skyrim is.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 if you like RPG-esqe turn strategies.
Gothic (be careful about outdated controls, game is 15 years old).
Maybe some RTS games, Red Alert 2 and Age of Empires 2 I remember fondly.

But Oblivion started DLC business.

>Oblivion isn't popular as all hell

Your delusions know no bounds. I will give you Morrowind, everyone bandwagond to ES with Oblivion. Starting to think you weren't even alive in 2006. You probably don't even know that game released in 2006.

As for Fallout, 3 started the mainstream BS. And Fallout is pretty much GTA and Mario tier in household video game name brand. Stop being dumb bro, you're factually wrong. It's very obvious all you browse on the internet is Sup Forums

>Alpha Protocol
>bad
Maybe you're just a retarded millennial.

Someone mentions open world RPGs and literally the first thing you will hear out of their mouth is Elder Scrolls series.
It's like call of duty dude bro tier in casual conversation at this point. Go outside.

Isn't everyone here? I'm 27, so I guess I am a retarded millennial.

Alpha Protocol has way too many flaws for me to say it's good. Doing some good things doesn't automatically make the things it does horribly disappear

I liked things about Remember Me and Mirrors Edge too, and I wouldn't consider them good games.

Your insult is humorous because you probably are just as old if not younger than me. Either way it has no bearing on my opinion. Iv'e played plenty of good games, and plenty of eh games, and plenty of bad games.

Yea but no sane person spent money for a horse armor.
All the fuckheads that bought such things for extra money are the reason dlcs are unavoidable now

Missing his point though.

>with POC protagonist shoehorned in for no reason
Are you acting like San Andreas didn't exist you fucking twat?

Overwatch
Dead Space 1 and 2 at least
Battlefield 2/2142
Unreal Tournament 2004
Divinity
Age of Empires
Undertale
Dying Light
Minecraft
WoW
FF XIV
Watch Doge 2
Dishonored 1 and 2
League of Legends

San Andreas knew it was a game about niggers though, and made no attempts to sanitize it.

In GTA V Franklin (aka the nigger) is somehow the only rational character in the game, while all the others are MUH CRAZY WHITE PEEBLE LMFAO CUZ

That doesnt make oblivion popular tho.
I have tons of casual gamer friends, and the rpg genre was by far the least popular. Because these kind of games were too nerdy for the masses. Atleast around here.

>when it's on sales

I wanna start playing too but I don't feel like waiting til this happens. So...should I just pirate ME 1 and see how I feel after I finish it?

Or can I start with 2? If 1 is unplayable in 2016 and I can skip it I'd rather start with 2. Unless I need 1 to understand the full story.

Someone help.

>OMG OF COURSE THEY'RE POPULAR
>EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT THEM ON MY FAVORITE FORUMS
>I BET YOU ONLY BROWSE Sup Forums

The people that post in online communities, or your select group of real life acquaintances that happen to play video games are not necessarily representative of the video game industry consumer base as a whole.

League is a lot more mechanically rewarding and has a 1 on 1 git gud or die feeling to the top lane.
Mid lane is all about being a planning and plotting master, using your skills to turn the tide of the game in your favour which is intellectually stimulating.
Jungle is all about control of the entire map, it's the perfect position for autists.
Support speaks for itself, you prop up what your teammates want to do like a little slut and that can be fun if you're in the mood.
ADC is fun because you have to be careful about your positioning while at the same time not being such a pussy that you can't carry the entire team on your back.
There's also no tanks in Dota (no real tanks) and the characters in the game are pretty bland fantasy tropes as apposed to League design of just making a cool champion which may or may not be a homage to characters from other medium (Zed and Rengar are basically The Shredder and The Predator in a MOBA), although the champions they make nowadays are little in depth such as Jhin who is a god-tier video game character on his own standing and incredibly engaging to play. As someone with 1900 hours or so in Dota there's just not enough to make me want to play it instead of League.

Evidently you don't though,.
Oblivion is very mainstream and very popular.

it's okay to admit you're totally wrong. Because you are.

>Mass Effect 3 is not on PC

Origin only, save yourself the BS and don't bother with it.

>mfw all the people telling him to get EA ORIGIN TM BUY NOW

fucking pirate those shit games, bioware doesn't deserve money neither does EA

Correct, which my post doesn't imply nor say at all.
I don't know why you sperged out and typed a bunch of text in all caps in green before you got to your point but, thanks for that I guess?

Elder Scrolls is extremely popular. It didn't gain popularity only in 2011. No one would have been excited for Fallout 3 in 2008 had Bethesda not been an established name of making open world games with Oblivion 2 years prior

You really are dragging this out. You are wrong, factually.
Elder Scrolls is just as known as GTA, Mario, Halo and fucking Call of Duty. Bethesda didn't just start being a big name company in 2011.

Everyone in this thread is fucking with you.

Get Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines off GoG. I know it sounds awful but basically it was a good game at its core and its fans have been doing unofficial patches for years to fix it and restore content and now it's actually really fucking good

What's your steam?

Get GTA V because trying to play the whole game in first person is fucking hilarious. Game is clearly not built for it at all.

>You are wrong, factually.

And where is your proof to back up these "facts"?

not him but you are retarded if you can't accept that Oblivion and Fallout and Skyrim and all the Bethesdashit except for Morrowind are ultra mainstream you giant fag

I'd drudge them up, but I have a feeling you wouldn't do the same to prove that it wasn't popular back then.

Pretty sure, you, or whomever made the claim that it wasn't known first, anyways. So I think the evidence to that claim has to come before mine, if you really wanna do this

Otherwise we can just keep insulting each other until we taper off, that might be easier as I am kind of lazy and want to go eat breakfast and play some Smash Bros

Why did you ignore this part of his post?

>No one would have been excited for Fallout 3 in 2008 had Bethesda not been an established name of making open world games with Oblivion 2 years prior

Do we need to go post E3 2008 videos for you?

Generally, providing arguments to support your theory is beneficial for convincing people of its validity. In regard to Alpha Protocol, you provided none.

Alpha Protocol has plenty of player agency and one of the best systems of choice and consequence, without hanging onto an arbitrary good-bad morality scheme. "Choices that matter" - such a buzz-phrase, yet this game did it much better than most.
It has lively characters and a decent espionage story.

The gameplay and shooting mechanics are flawed but passable. Playing through stealthily and doing hand-to-hand combat was oddly satisfying.

Close, but you should in fact pirate VtMB. The devs who made it have gone bust, if you buy the game then all the money goes to Activision, who were the ones that killed the devs in the first place.

Not him but why did it get slammed so hard anyways?

Seems like it went hidden gem tier pretty fast.

Bottom one is CoD4, by the way.

inb4
>sales numbers are not at all an indication of mainstream success!

Actually now it's owned by Paradox, and a royalty program has been set up both by the guys that used to be White Wolf, and the guys that used to be Troika.

But whatever.

I didn't know! Well, shit. Buy it then, I guess.

Stop playing after ME2, you'll thank us later.

Get Sleeping Dogs

...

Tali's aunt replaces her in ME3 then. No peace between quarians and geth, naturally. You end up sacrificing a side.

the fuck is origin access?

don't bother they're trash also not even sci fi just fantasy

psn+ but for EA branded AIDS

>Mass Effect
>not sci-fi just fantasy

nigga, you just went full retard

the "extra cool club" of Origin. They get to play games early, get to play betas and shit early and some games become free if you're an origin member

So basically it's Playstation + or Live GOLD.
God I fucking hate Origin. What is EA's deal.

...

Oh god look it's a Star Wars retard

actually he's right, eezo is mana and is used by writers to handwave and explain pretty much everything

>So basically I have to get Steam part II: EA Edition just to play the last game of the trilogy

You also need Origin to get any DLC for the second game, because EA's split with Steam happened before that came out. Enjoy paying for it in "Bioware Points" too. :^)

Pirate everything, dumbass.

lol?
So you pay for an extra membership to test shitty buggy beta early access games?

Because the reviewers don't play in-depth. They saw the obvious gameplay shortcomings and didn't bother playing enough of it to experience the actual RPG.

Obsidian Entertainment really deserves more credit in my opinion. With the right budget, those people are capable of making better RPGs than the likes of current Bioware and Bethesda. KOTOR2 is fucking fantastic, Neverwinter Nights 2 is also good, and Fallout: New Vegas is still circling above Fallout 3 and 4.

You're right but Pillars and Tyranny was bullshit

they should do something else

This.

Only EA game I've bought is Titanfall 2 and I don't regret it.

I'd rather buy 12 months of Humble Monthly than subscribe to EA's, because fuck at least I get to keep my random junks when I cancel it

BUT WAIT. There is more

If you cancel your sub, you can't play any of the games any longer, where as if you buy it regularly, it becomes just like steam.

So you basically borrow games for "free" (not really because you're paying 7 a month to be able to play them all) but they take it back the second you cancel

Get why we hate Origin yet?

All this thread has done is convince me to re pirate ME and to buy Alpha Protocol.

I fucking love Sup Forums sometimes.

Also what's the best zombie game out right now? Dying Light? Is Dead Rising 4 any good?

I like to kill zombies, with friends. So whatever suggestions fit that mold.

Dying Light is decent, all that parkour and shit, basically that's what Dead Island done right
RE4 remains good after 10 years
RE5 Coop is good
RE6 is fine if you ignore the plot

>Get why we hate Origin yet?

No, stop using it.
I never bothered using it and all the games are shit.

DayZ is a fantastic survival simulator (although pretty realistic and slightly buggy). Lots of fun with friends and roleplaying can be done amazingly well.

>If you cancel your sub, you can't play any of the games any longer
Just like PS+
