Support NeoGAF

[Chiggs]

I've been hard at work on a project over the past 6 months and I've barely had time to play anything, but I've gone on a Steam spending spree today (stealth brag) and picked up a TON of new PC games to play now that I have some breathing room (and the prices were right). Since I'm incapable of making tough decisions like this, I thought I'd ask GAF to lend a hand.

GAF might be an autocracy led by EviLore , but this thread is a democracy, and I bend to the will of the voters.

I recommend Tekken 8, while it still has people new to the system. It will be tougher to play online casually later in its life. If new to Tekken do at least three locations in Arcade Quest for tutorials. Then, run the combo trials in Practice. All are character specific.

 

[Ribi]

see the problem is that fighting games... you'll have the best tiem early when there are noobs. But single player games from last year are also still fresh enough to experience and talk about.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Kind of depends based on your personal prefs, but for me on that list I'd say Phantom Liberty. It's easily a top 3 expansion of all time for me.

 

[Glass Prison]

A lot of great games on that list, and most of them are really big. I'd say start with a fun game that's not too long... to warm up.
I voted for Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart

 

[Hrk69]

Those are all bangers

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Dead Space remake

Stop messing around and play it.

 

[Dacvak]

Do what I do. Ignore all of your new purchases and just play Mario 3 again.

 

[Nankatsu]

Really thought choice. It depends if youre looking for short games or longer ones.

You have some pretty long titles there.

That being said, I would go:

Returnal
Jedi Survivor (if you played Fallen Order)
Cyberpunk 2077

 

[Buggy Loop]

I voted Phantom Liberty, but personally as of now I'm playing FF6 pixel remaster. Love that game.

Even has near ultrawide resolution

Voters are retarded. Do what I say. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. Look up McIndus Mods for some amazing graphic mods. Play the game. Tell us how you conquered depression.

If you do what the voters say, you're banned!

 

[Edgelord79]

Cyberpunk easily.

 

[ReBurn]

Start at the top and work your way down. Tekken 8 story mode is fun and can be finished in an evening. The character stories take another day or two.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Don't know your gaming background OP.

SF6 over Tekken 8

Callisto Protocol over Deadspace (if you got the build)

 

[killatopak]

Tekken 8 but not until you get bored with it.

Play Final Fantasy 7 with it just to break up the monotony to work your way to Rebirth.

 

[Gudji]

Starfield.

 

[GHG]

IFireflyl

My favourite game on that list and it's not even close.

 

[delfrickintree]

A fool and his money are easily separated

 

[Astray]

R&C is great if you want a game that doesn't wear out its welcome.

 

[amigastar]

Do what I do. Ignore all of your new purchases and just play Mario 3 again.

That's what i'm doing. Super Mario Allstars with Mario 3 and Super Mario World on SNES emu.
Shigeru Miyamoto is a genius.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Amid Evil is a must play. Best of the recent boomer shooter revivals.

 

[Mercador]

There's no bad choice in that list, nice shopping spree.

 

[Guilty_AI]

AMID EVIL

For starters, its probably one of the games in that list you can beat in the least amount of time.

 

[Majukun]

tekken seems the only one with a time limit if you wanna get into the first part where everyone is learning and you can find more casuals in multiplayer

 

[Danjin44]

 

[EverydayBeast]

Went on a Steam spending spree​

I’d go Deathloop, it has its own style and reminds me of smart game design. The added gimmick, time loop is a little bit of a risk but overall it’s a solid choice.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Cyberpunk is the best game of this generation, easy choice there

 

[bender]

Marvel Snap

Unless EviLore removes all the poll options except for the one he likes.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Isn't on the list nor is it better than SF6.

I do something similar but fire up one of the strategy map painters I’ll like to play.

P3R, FFVIIR, Like a Dragon? Pfft, time to fire up EU4 and conquer Europe/Asia as the Pope, Brandenburg, Florence, Korea, Oda, etc….

Or perhaps time to fire up Civ 6 instead (or 5), or modded Rome Total War II.

Anything but actually play games I buy, lol.

Don't pay attention to Danjin he's just mad that he's no longer the nicest person on this forum.

I’m nice, through “tough love” I’m showing his wrong doing…

I love you. No one is mad at you. Let go of the tough guy facade. I am grateful for you.

After looking at the list....

You should start with Deathloop, because that's the only bad game on there. Whatever is next will be a step up.

 

[Robb]

There’s a lot of FF, so I’d start with one of them and then something else in between.

 

[Puscifer]

I recommend Tekken 8, while it still has people new to the system. It will be tougher to play online casually later in its life. If new to Tekken do at least three locations in Arcade Quest for tutorials. Then, run the combo trials in Practice. All are character specific.

FWIW I picked up T7 again casually last months with Heihachi and had a great time after not touching it since 2020.

So Deathloop isn't bad, but I HIGHLY suggest learning the loop process ASAP cause too many people figure it out 10-15 hours in and get burned out when it finally clicks.
