Need a new game to waste my days with

[DocBartend]

I just stopped playing EQ after much too much time spent. Now i desire a new game. I am kind of waiting for SWG but i am not sure if it will be all that it is hyped to be. But for now, anyone have any good ideas for a new pc game? I bought and finished the expansion to MOHonor which was fun. My buddy quit EQ too but he is now playing NWNights, but i am not sure on it. Looks like Diablo on steroids. Thanks for reading this far........

Well, are you looking for an RPG to play?

If so, screw NWN and go for Morrowind.. it is one of the biggest and best computer RPGs of all time.

They're both great, but I found NWN to be less irritating.

How about Galactic Civilizations, or Galciv? link

I haven't tried this yet myself, but I'm seriously considering buying it, given that I like Civ3, and would like to see a similar such game in a space environment.

What is irritating about Morrowind? I am looking for any game, RPG to RTS to MMORPH. Also thought about NASCAR 2003, Papyrus rules.

I found the main quest to be dull and getting from point A to point B can be a real pain in the ass. You'll get directions to loactions that are vague to the point of uselessness. The first time you get stuck outside in a sandstorm you'll think it's the coolest thing ever, but after the 100th time you'll be pulling your hair out. Cliff Racers will haunt your dreams. And the penalty for a game so broad is that the individual elements often lack depth. But it's still a very good game. Also check out:

Mafia
Hitman 2
Splinter Cell
No One Lives Forever 2

DocBartend, recently quit Everquest myself also =) Just over 300 days played once I was done 🙁

I'm currently playing the planetside beta, should try signing up for that and hopefully get in. I'm going to play that until SWG gets released. If SWG gets released and it's as good as people say it will be, I'll grab that...if not I'm going to wait until Everquest 2 (September).

Hope this information has been helpful.

I'm currently wasting time on EVE Online beta testing, and when they are busy updating the server again on a new RtCW map 😛

Then get Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. 🙂

Which has horrid graphics IMO. Excellent game, but you arent playing it for the eye candy thats for sure.

Graphics are irrelevant in such games. Gameplay is the thing, and AC has it coming out the ass.

I got bored of NWN and Morrowind fairly quickly, but others have really enjoyed them. I guess you could try Dungeon Siege also but that game was just ehh-ish.

The only games I'd recommend now are actually for consoles. I found Dark Cloud 2 fairly addicting, the new Zelda game is awesome and Xenosaga is fairly decent.

I played Shadowbane beta, I think thats out for sale now. I enjoyed it thoroughly in beta before it got fairly monotonous... you could give it a shot until another game you're really looking forward to comes out.
