PC recommendations

I actually played KF1 when I was a poor bastard how active is KF1 since KF2 is out

Alan Wake!?
Fuuuuuuckk i thought they removed it for good last time, how long as it been up?

literature club

it's been up for a while, the license only expired for a couple weeks and then got renewed but there was a lot of fuss about it

still decently active, KF2 is a bit divisive compared to 1 but still pretty ok now that it's gotten a bunch of updates

Most of the good PC games are already multiplatform, but there are lots of exclusives because they don't really work without KB+M controls. Also, there's an absolute shitload of quality indie games on PC, but you have to look for them.
As far as what to buy, it really depends on what kinds of games you're into. In general, PC is a great platform for Action RPGs/Hack'n'slash (Witcher, Diablo, Divinity), Open-world (GTA, Far Cry), FPS (DOOM, Serious Sam, Rainbow Six), RTS (Total War, Company of Heroes, X-Com), and of course, MMORPGs.

There's also a seemingly neverending list of classic games that work fine on modern machines. I highly recommend the Half Life, Deus Ex, and Max Payne games.

Pathologic 2 has just come out; it's pretty fantastic.

If you want some older games, play the Freespace series; get a flightstick as well for it. You also might as well try out Tie Fighter and Starlancer too.

KF is a simple game, but very addicting, I spent a lot of time there.

play rance 7 my dude

and great tier shit, but your mileage may vary because of my shit taste

Alright I will hold off my intended purchases till the Summer sale would really hate myself if I bought them now just for them to go on sale.

there's no good games don't bother. the last game i have that I'm maybe maybe considering is deus ex, the 2nd newest one but it looks shit. i have 300 games and don't play shit

Hard to say unless you provide more specifics on what you like / don't like in terms of genres and playing style.

However... If you just want "big title games throughout history"...

FPS Genre:
Doom 1
Quake 1
Duke Nukem 3D
Half Life 1 & 2
Unreal 1
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2
Doom 3
Portal 1 & 2

RTS genre
Command & Conquer (just get the 10 year anniversary that has all of the early games in it)
Total Annihilation (your choice if you want the expansions)
Supreme Commander 1 + expansion
Warcraft III w expansion

TBS genre:
Civs 1 through 5 (6 is still too expensive & still going through it's DLC schedule, wait until that's finally over)
Alpha Centauri + Alien Crossfire

"Pure" Adventure genre:
MYST (don't shoot the messenger; It was hugely popular when it came out)
All of the early Sierra "Quest" adventure games pre-1996.
All of the LucasArts adventure games pre-1996.

Isometric / Non-First Person RPG genre:

Ultima 2 - 7 (plus both Worlds of Ultima)
All of the Bioware Infinity Engine titles
Fallout 1 & 2

ARPG genre:
Diablo 1 - 3 (plus expansions)
Starcraft 1 (Starcraft 2 as well if you want)
Titan Quest (w/ Immortal Throne, other expansions optional)
Grim Dawn
Torchlight 1 & 2

Other First Person games:

Both Ultima Underworlds
System Shock 1 & 2
Thief 1 & 2
Fallout 3 & New Vegas
Elder Scrolls 3 - 5

Flying Sims:
Wing Commander 1 - 3
X-Wing series from LucasArts

I'm sure I've left out a ton of stuff. There are some genres that I don't follow so I'm sure there are worthy lists for them. Have fun.

don't fall for the steam potential trojan shit. Use gog instead. PC gamers still own their games, unlike console gamers.

game I've forgot:
witcher series if you like story stuff
gothic
desktop dungeons
infinfactory
shenzhen IO
Syndicate

>sam & max
I've never played any click and point adventure games but always wanted to try them, any you'd recommend

Myst

anything made before 2013

RE4
Shadow of Destiny/Memories
Silent Hill 2-3-4
Killer7

Hit the Road is pretty good, the later sam and max games made by telltale are mediocre though

If you are interested in round based strategy games (or the like) try:
>Total War: Medieval 2
>Total War: Warhammer 1&2
>Total War: Three Kingdoms
>Civ 5
>Crusader Kings 2

Haydee
Material Girl
Couple of japanese porn games

DUSK
FrostPunk
Age of Empires
Cossacks 3
Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars (get the steam one that is moddable not the origin one)
Insurgency Sandstorm
Black Mesa (Xen chapter should come out pretty soon now)
Crysis
Hard Reset Redux
Jurassic World Evolution
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
the first Call of Duty
the first Medal of Honor
Serious Sam BFE
Stronghold Crusader HD
Wolfenstein 3D
Wolfenstein The Old Blood
Warhammer 40K Dawn of War
Armada 3 mod for Sins of a Solar Empiure Rebellion
System Shock Enhanced Edition
Tropico 6

these are just a few I can recommend scrolling through my steam library

but yeah op you will find out that ptretty much all games where you need precise aiming like FPS, TPS, RTS are far superior and easier with a mouse and KB
and for all the other games like platformers, fighting, sports games get an XBOX One wireless controller and you are set

Xbox Game Pass with Xbox exclusive games is already on PC

>implying you didn't go and get a PC because you were tired of seeing all those games you couldn't play on your old console
you know exactly what you wanted to play OP, fuck off and play it

Insurgency Sandstorm, A more casual "tacticool" shooter. Calling it a tactical shooter is a bit of a stretch, but its a lot of fun.
Squad, good team based game, it takes a minute or two to understand, but after you "get it" its a lot of fun. doesn't take too long to learn.
All the STALKER games, recommend bug fixing mods for them though just for some added stability, maybe graphical mods, weapon mods, or damage increase mods, but they aren't required.
Tabletop Simulator, its a simulated tabletop and you can play card games, board games, Tabletop RPG's etc, in it. Shitload of workshop content.
Risk of Rain 1 and 2, depending on if you like 2D or 3D, rouge-like's
Mordhau, medieval game where you run around bashing peoples heads in with hammers or slicing them with swords and shit. Fun time, has a pretty good tutorial so you learn the basics easily.
A very short list of stuff off the top of my head. A lot of anons already listed a lot of the stuff I'd recommend.

Here's some must-own indies that will be on the cheaper end to get (or free)
>Machinarium
>FTL
>Another Metroid 2 Remake
>Cave Story
>Spelunky
>Gunpoint
>La Mulana
>Dustforce
>Braid
>Trine and Trine 2

Also Klei games (and Klei published games) are on sale right now on Steam, so I'd highly suggest looking into Crypt of the Necrodancer, Mark of the Ninja, Don't Starve and Darkest Dungeon

Games that I play you can Pirate:

>Star Sector
>Factorio
>DARK SOULS III

Games that I play that are mp centric
>Mordhau
>Deep Rock Galactic

Games that I play that are free:
>Space Station 13

Oh, and one thing about the STALKER games, play them on the "hardest" difficulty, because anything lower then that and you're actually gimping the entire game and actively making it play poorly.

sam & max is one of the best, but there are plenty of good point n clicks for pc and amiga (emulated).

Monkey Island series is very comfy
Sam&Max
Paradigm
Nightmares from the Deep series is a very light but comfy point n click
Dropsy (it's a devolver digital game, so it might be darker than you expect)
the last door (cthullu stuff)
I think the "black mirror" series is good, had no time yet to play it myself
the book of unwritten tales is fun, but at some point late in the game it had a graphcis bug that didn't let me continue
tales from the borderlands is quite good
overclocked: history of violence was fun
loom is kinda unique, you may wanna try it
ceville was fun
goblins 3 is pretty good, as it's very creative and each level(screen) is one big puzzle after which you move on.
leisure suit larry love for sail is fantastic, and I enjoyed reloaded too
a new beginning has a pretty hot main characters and a interesting story (only finish the game if you are in a good mood, the ending hits you like a truck)
vampire bloodlines the masquerade is not a point n click but it's close. Also this kind of mystery and detective game. It's the best non porn game on this planet. The most must play. If you play it for the first time play it without mods. No plus patch. Just default gog installer (which comes with the bugfixes).

dude. KILL yourSELF

You should practically play ALL the games ever made on PC (again), as the difference between the original and emulated / enhanced ports can be significant.

star control 2 is a classic, but not everyones cup of tee

Attached: let me lick it.jpg (973x691, 306K)

Splinter Cell

is that a no?

If you like Myst I would really recommend Quern.

>La-Mulana
Based.

Redpill me on games that work only/best with a mouse and a keyboard (strategy stuff for example, I don't know anything about it besides Starcraft).

Attached: 1520392641382.png (620x640, 260K)

any shooter, strategy game, or anything where precision in general is required. the only stuff that controller is better at are stuff like platformers, racing games, and some 3rd person action games like the souls series

yes that list is pretty good

FTL
AM2R
La Mulana
pretty good stuff

Here some more good games:
Zombie Night terror
Door Kickers Action Squad
Worms 2
into the breach (nice for trainrides if you have a tablet pc or laptop)
Renowned Explorers is a game TotalBiscuit loved
Diviniy Original Sin
Ghost Master
Ether Lords 2
Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive
Kerbal Space Program
Samorost Series (point n click games)
SteamWorld Dig
ToonStruck
Nosferathu Wrath of Malachi (unique horror fps, with nice weapon feedback)
Unavowed (point n click game)
factorio
if you like unique games check out "ECHO", the clip is from that game

tons of porn games I can't name on this board

Insurgency sandstorm is pretty damn good

True, especially with the new HC mode.
I'm still leaning more towards SQUAD at the moment though.

one important thing to remember: never buy games you don't plan on playing right away. PC library is MASSIVE, even just part on steam, because it grew continuously for like 30 years, and if you just buy everything that looks fun or was recommended, you'll end up with 350 games on backlog, like me in just few years
