Steam/PC Mega Thread

So I've started playing through Dark Forces. Man, this is nuts.

[Paton]

Picked up Hand of Fate the other day. It's certainly different to most RPG games that I have played and it breathes a breath of fresh air into my rather dull Steam library. I can definitely see myself racking up a few hours on this game and for around $25 I would suggest it.

[Robsturgh]

To anyone wanting a bit of a different sort of game, I recommend Sunless Sea or Darkest Dungeon. Great games.

Anyone had experience with the Book of Unwritten Tales series? I saw the sequel had recently come out so I looked into it and it looks like a lot of fun.

The only problem is I have no real time to sit down and play games and was wondering if it was something I could easily go back to at a later time.

Having not played it since I was 11/12 I'd pretty much forgotten what it was like. Having no vertical axis in aiming really threw me because i did not remember that at all.

[Nick Adams]

Given that I've played through parts of the rest of the franchise, yeah, having to just let the gun aim for me is an odd experience. Still, for a DOS-based game, it's rather good. Now if CBS would just re-release Star Trek 25th Anniversary...

[theshadow]

I still have Star Trek 25th Anniversary on cd from a compilation pack with Starfleet Academy with expansion, Next Gen the Final Unity and Star Trek Generations video game.

[King Ellis]

Well, at least it (Dark Forces) uses WASD to move instead of the freaking mouse like when I booted up Doom II through Steam.

[Sousa]

I love Star Trek 25th Anniversary. As a game it's kind of eh, but I love the dialogue options for Kirk, which always seem to amount to

1. fairly professional Kirk, or the kind of thing Kirk would say

2. overtly sycophantic Kirk

3. GIANT JERK WHO GIVES NO SHIT ABOUT YOUR PRECIOUS ALIEN CULTURE

I always went with 3.

I had that for NES and could never get past like, the 2nd planet.

[theshadow]

I cannot remember ever getting far through it myself it may be something i should try again now I'm older if it can even run.

[apsham]

I remember a TNG game for the SNES that I just could NOT manage to understand... shudder.

[Nick Adams]

I played the DS9 Genesis/Master System game. Man, that was...wrong. Best Trek game I've played on PC was DS9: Harbinger. And then Starfleet Academy.

My favourite ever Star Trek game will always be the Next Generation game Birth of the Federation

That game was awesome. Except when the Borg showed up and one cube demolished my huge fleets of ships in a few seconds.

[theshadow]

resistance is futile

[Nick Adams]

I just recall taking out a Cube in BotF with 8 D'Deridex Warbirds. All decloaked, blew up the cube before it even fired off a shot. Thing of beauty.

Star Trek: Final Unity sounds like a plan by the Vulcans to commit genocide on the Romulans. Which I'm pretty sure happens at the start of the JJ Abrahms Star Trek movie. Goddamn you Vulcan Nazi bastards. I've never trusted Vulcans, and I never will. I can never forgive them for the death of my boy the Romulans.

[Nick Adams]

According to STO, Romulus got blown up because Species 8472 destroyed a star using a subspace weapon.

Put a 960 in my computer - still need to upgrade the processor but I'm good for anything that isn't just coming out now. Ohhhh boy. <3
