It obviously strongly depends on what you like about SoC. Personally I also greatly enjoy Far Cry 2, because similarly to SoC, there is a lot of attention to detail (weather, environments, stealth, AI etc.). It also has very strong atmosphere. Just don't make the mistake of trying to stick with...

I fully agree with the people who have mentioned Alpha Protocol. It was quite a funny moment when I had finished the game and was asking myself what that one face on the DVD-box was doing there, considering I had never met her in the game. ;-) I love that AP didn't make a fuss about that. In...

I have to agree. I haven't tried the second one yet, but the two hours of KOTOR that I have played were not enjoyable in the least. Main reason for that being the absolutely awful writing. Part of that is that the tutorial is directly integrated into the dialogue, but I could've forgiven that...

@Charcharo: Interesting. I thought Complete has SRP as its base?!? I had to change a few lines in some file to get it to work. There's a thread somewhere on the old GSC-forums which has the numbers which worked for me. One day I will have to try Clear Sky with just SRP.

@Charcharo: A lot of it comes down to aesthetics. For example, I recently finished both Vietcong (from 2003) and Metro: Last Light and to me the way that the rain looked when impacting the water in one mission of Vietcong still looks at least as good as in much more recent games. As far...

Ah, nice to see that a few people here actually know of Vietcong. :-) By the way, me and a few friends have been playing it on our LAN-parties for a while and recently (since it's working again on Win8.1) finished the campaign for a second time after so many years. The AI may be a bit weak, but...

@Strelok: How about "post-soviet semi-sci-fi wilderness simulator" then?

I'm a bit surprised about some of the games being mentioned. Bulletstorm and Shadow Warrior for example. As far as I remember they got pretty high marks. And at least for Shadow Warrior, the sequel is already on the way. It can't have done that badly commercially. Anyway, I wanted to mention...

I haven't played it yet, but I have been following the general (and somewhat controversial) discussion on it. But one thing that I haven't been able to glean from reviews and threads is how PoE actually compares to BGII in terms of structure. You know, size of world, number of quests, how...

@Silentpony:

@Dalisclock: Somebody tried to explain Simon's reaction on the frictionalgames-forums. Basically, Simon was always the copy. He was the one who carried over the two times before. He simply couldn't imagine that it could happen the other way around.

"The Cat Lady" - Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BczPm1d5_18 The "favourite female character" - topic is not why I'm recommending this game here, since that's not really a category for me, that I care about. Female or not, if a character is badly written I still won't care. But Susan...

I tend to often break off Adventures and RTS-campaigns. There's a number of reasons for that, but first and foremost I find it extremely annoying that in Adventures there is often just one right answer which enables you to progress and which requires you to have all parts of the answer. You just...

Have no fear! Or rather: Have fear! SOMA is on the horizon. The 22nd of September if I remember correctly. :-) "Starcraft II" made it hard for me to enjoy other RTS gameplay-wise, since it just plays so smooth. I always feel like I'm in control. Units move and shoot in a way that just...

Well, I might have got hyped about The Witcher 3, but since it was fairly obvious that my hardware would not be enough I tried to mostly ignore. I fear I might be in a similar position with Fallout 4. But I'm very hyped for "Pillars of Eternity" (waiting for price drop, have a huge backlog...
