I knew to expect to be blown away, but I didn't expect that... Metal Gear Rising's opening makes Bayonetta's opening look like a normal game.

THIS was the FIRST boss?

Oh you should see Bayonetta 2 then, it goes even farther.

Again, thanks everyone. My questions in this thread are going to seem very novice-level because these aren't the sorts of games I play, but they are the sorts of games my girlfriend plays. I just gave her a PC, and as a long time 3DS gamer, she's experiencing PC gaming for the first time.

She loves story-driven games a la Mass Effect and adventure games like Zelda.

I'd recommend Ittle Dew, it's a Zelda-style game that's a bit more puzzle heavy. I don't think I'd pay the $5 it is right now, but it's been bundled a few times and I guess it could hit 75% off on a flash sale (though it seems unlikely). I think it's a much better and more enjoyable game than Anodyne which just falls so deep into its own weirdness that it never comes back out.

well i'm not one of those people that went crazy for the sixth sense (tho i liked unbreakable a lot) and haven't bothered with much of his other movies (i only watch this cos it had the zooey) but the happening is so unbelievably bad it's hard to imagine people weren't doing it on purpose

like, i can't remember the exact phrase or whatever but there's this whole scene where mark whalberg is like scared of a plastic plant in a model house that can't possibly be an attempt at suspense

Somewhere along the line I came to the conclusion that I should never underestimate Shyamalan's ability to seriously write and direct mind numbingly ridiculous movies while still believing in his own assumed brilliance. His movie "Lady in the Water" basically summed this up for me.

Rogue Legacy is a thoroughly mediocre game. The mechanic where you choose a different hero each play that inherits some of the good/bad abilities of their predecessors is its only redeeming quality. I find the core gameplay quite lackluster. It's like if you took one of the Igavania games completely randomized the rooms in the castle, made the enemies and art as generic as possible, and then added a whole lot of floatiness to the physics.

All in my opinion of course :)

Another note: she suffers from motion sickness in FPS games.

Asian stereotype joke here
Does she like brawlers? In my opinion, Remember Me was a really good game with a very interesting story and beautiful vistas. It's extremely linear, so she won't be annoyed by an open world, and it's third person, so she won't get sick (hopefully). I found the combat to be good, but some people hate it, so keep that in mind.

If she likes exploration (but not in a vast world) and character progression by acquiring new items, she may enjoy Batman: Arkham Asylum.


Please tell me to stop if I'm completely wrong with my recommendations :p

Either will work. Subject name doesn't matter. Be quirky.

EDIT: Oh, I thought you meant entering, not registering.
 
OK, OK, I admit it, my tastes suck! Take my recommendations with a grain of salt, lol

Hey, I'm not harshing, just disagreeing! The more perspectives, the better chance somebody buys something they'll enjoy. I'm not pretending my view is the right one here.

Just to be clear, my girlfriend isn't a big fan of sprawling, open world games with tons of lore, a la Witcher and Elder Scrolls.

Maybe KOTOR then?

The I'm Totally Not Just Giving These Away To Qualify As A Mega Giver Giveaway
Don't hate me

Thanks for Dwarfs!?. The f2p version was my go-to "game for a really short while". Now I can be able to take it to another level!
I think higher difficulty levels were among the locked things, so yeah...

are there any puzzle packs on sale or anything? i'm really hoping lumines goes on sale at some point, but it isn't discounted at all, leading me to believe it won't go on sale period :(

I'll have her take a look and she what she thinks! These recommendations are good, precisely because they're all over the place. We've only been dating for three months, so her taste is still relatively new to me, and even she doesn't know her taste, because she's never PC gamed before. We're willing to experiment, here. I'll put up a thread tonight.

What's odd though is I added the funds yesterday morning and got this exact same messages but eventually it went away and I was free to use the market up until this morning.
 
Thanks whoever invited me to the group, and hi to all my new friends. Maybe I can find some people to try Nosgoth with (among other games I ended up buying).

Can't resist damn sales.

The GoG version is faaaaaaar superior to the Steam version. Don't even consider picking up the Steam version tbh

Or get the steam version because you're an OCD type of person and then copy the gog files into your steam game folder. magic.

Oh, I didn't mean it that way, sorry! I'm just saying that this isn't the first time some GAFfers disagree with my recommendations, so it could very well be that I have weird tastes.

Sorry if I came out to be like I was accusing you of criticizing my opinions, I didn't mean to say that at all! It was self-criticism, lol
