Best PC Single Player Games?

[Ceixah]

I'm looking to kill a bit of time this week with the comfort of pc gaming!

What are the best / longest single player games you can think of which i'll be easily able to go and purchase from store/download ?!


Any type of game will do I'll probably sample a few! :>

Braid.

Thread moved to correct forum.

oldies or new games?

longest i can think of is probably Baldurs gate 1 & 2 + expansions

Dragon Age Origins will last you 40+ hours easily that's just doing the campaign then the expansions will add another 10-20 hours on top.

One of the very best games.

Or if you want something with more action you can't go wrong with Mass Effect either

cheers hadn't even seen there was a PC gaming forum


A few people have said Baldurs gate is pretty good.. I've never really played anything except for the usual games Half Life etc + Quake etc and ofcourse Max Payne / Unreal series.


Only rpg that wasn't online I played was Dungeon Siege 1 - which i quite enjoyed

 

[ST^]

If you liked Dungeon Siege then I guess you should like Dungeon Siege 2. I did

The Witcher 1 + 2 are awesome. Baldur's Gate 2 is probably my favourite ever PC game.

dragon age 1, either mas effect - steam

baldurs gate 1 + 2 are long aswell - GoG

Mass Effect is OK, though, personally I don't think its as good as its hyped.

The Witcher...though it's a bit marmite, some people hate it, some love it. I loved it. not got around to playing the 2nd one yet.

Batman arkham asylum, really cheap now.

Minecraft! though better online ofc. In the single player you can "cheat" and create all the items, gives you a bit more freedom.

Fallout 3. Either will do, though New vegas is better imo, standard fallout 3 is still a great game though imo. Plenty of mods for each to extend their lifespans.

I quite liked the CoD single players as quick action games, you wont get more than 5 hours out of any of them but personally I quite enjoyed them.

Oblivion

Oblivion

Aye Oblivion is also a gem and probably gonna play it myself again before Skyrim is out

 

[WPKenny]

Gauntlet

/thread

 

[Helme]

Oblivion

Oblivion is fairly shite to be fair, it's a console game through and through and even with gigabytes of mods it's still fairly weak.

I'd recommend Morrowind instead.

 

[Shagrat]

Amnesia

What are the bestmorrowind mods to look for if your looking at playing it now then?

I've never actually played oblivion, might have to give it a go. Best on PC or console?

 

[throdgrain]

Half Life 2?

I played it on the 360 no idea for the PC, loved it.

Skyrim can't come soon enough.

It was some time since I set it up, but I used this guide: SHIT JUST GOT REAL: Morrowind Modding Guide

 

[ST^]

Half-life 2 gameplay doesn't hold up imo (read note at bottom), but it was a great game and (iirc) it's not as short as most FPS games. Some great weapons too.

(note) I am one of the few (?) gamers who don't rate Valve that highly. HL, HL2 and Portal were good, but TF2 is shit/unbalanced, Portal 2 bored the fuck out of me, and L4D was decidedly average.

 

[Exioce]

If you missed Batman: Arkham Asylum, now is the time.

 

[TdC]

Amnesia

I second this, tis awesome

 

[Turamber]

Planescape: Torment if you don't mind playing a game that is donkeys years old. As I was poorly last year I have only just got round to playing Starcraft II -- enjoyable single player game and story with plenty of replayability to get perfect scores.

Just a shame the ending was so naff

 

[megadave]

Total war, shogun 2 is the latest installment. That baby eats up time

 

[BloodOmen]

Borderlands (do all the quests aswell)

Batman Arkham Asylum

Fallout 3 / New Vegas

Terraria

Minecraft

Civilization IV

 

[Uncle Sick]

Napoleon: Total War = total win. Shogun 2 is fantastic as well.

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'd support terraria, minecraft, fallout 3/vegas too as games that spend a lot of time. Didn't like fallout 3 as much as i did Vegas and mods do make it a whole new(read better) game still.

Minecraft, well, it's minecraft

Have a fine community on it, so no need to play alone when you can as easily solo with buddies

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Deus Ex

GOG.com is going to be your best friend

 

[Ceixah]

That site is a gem!!!!!!!!!!!

Far better on PC, as is any game like this. For starters it looks better on the PC, then there is the legion of mods, updated textures, extra quests, NPCs, buildings etc
