Chester Dontlie Posted 14 June 2016 Share Posted 14 June 2016 Can anyone recommend any decent games on steam? trying to find a new RPG to play and wouldnt mind playing something a little older. Was looking at the original Fallout has anyone played it? any good? Any other recommendations would be much appreciated Original Fallout is the best, if you don't mind very dated graphics (it's from 1997 I think). Can't go wrong with that. Best crpg ever as far as I'm concerned. If you can get Fallout 1, Fallout 2 (bigger but also cheesier) and Tactics in the bundle, go for it. They're cheap these days anyway. If you like rpgs with great setting, memorable characters, choices & consequences you won't regret it. Also Planescape Tornment is great rpg, brilliant story set in unique fantasy world (has dated graphics as well but if you had played Baldurs Gate you wouldn't mind; there's quite a bit of text to read though unlike in contemporary games). There was another rpg from the same company I think, Arcanum, also one of the best ones ever imo, so you could give it a shot, especially if you like steampunk.

kingcarr21 Posted 14 June 2016 Share Posted 14 June 2016 thx alot for your suggestions. Graphics dont bother me aslong as its a good story. Think i will get the fallout bundle tomorrow (pay day) and give it a go. Will look at the others suggested as well see how much they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind not having them on Steam, Fallout originals bundle as well as Arcanum are on sale on GOG right now, theres still 7 days left (GOG is basically same thing as Steam, works about the same, it's even more convenient in that you can actually download games to your hd and play offline whenever you want and they come DRM-free). 67 to 75% discount which is a steal imo. I see they have another great rpg (a bit newer, in 3D) Vampire: Masquerade Bloodlines, brilliant atmosphere, also higly recommended https://www.gog.com/ Seems like they have Planescape Torment discounted too and lots of others... Summer sale, apparently (no, I'm not working for them ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcarr21 Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 Downloaded Fallout 3 GOTY edition last night and went to load it up and it turns out Fallout 3 isn't compatible on Windows 10. Spent an hour watching Youtube vids trying to get it to work to no avail. Seriously pissed off. Complete waste of money. Don't suppose anybody else has had similar problems?

Beliall Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 did you try this ? also this couple of fix solutions there. no LMGTFY i promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcarr21 Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 Thanks, I tried doing the windows live thing but didn't work. I think that will work if you have played the game on an earlier version of Windows. Will do some more investigating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 I take it you tried compatibility settings and run as admin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcarr21 Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 I take it you tried compatibility settings and run as admin? Yea they were the first things I tried. tried numerous settings but could never get passed the initial start up screen. Will give it another try later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 2 July 2016 Share Posted 2 July 2016 if you purchase them as gifts, or recieve a gift copy Thought so. Really don't see why you can't give your old games to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 2 July 2016 Share Posted 2 July 2016 Been playing Evacron mercianary all night. Steep learning curve but really good if you like games like frontier It's really cheap for the size of the game as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 2 July 2016 Share Posted 2 July 2016 Never heard of it, ill check it out. If you like frontier, have you looked at Elite Dangerous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpaM Posted 2 July 2016 Share Posted 2 July 2016 Never heard of it, ill check it out. If you like frontier, have you looked at Elite Dangerous? Not sure how well my laptop would run it tbh, this one's a few years old but it's got a lot of stuff elite dangerous hasn't, such as landing on planets and building Walker robots you can pilot on planets. You can also customise your entire ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 2 July 2016 Share Posted 2 July 2016 Ok well you got me there. Elite dangerous does allow planetary landings , no robots though I'm afraid. I know a few people who play on laptop, and its only £13 on steam at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
