Long story short, I havent completed a game in a long time - last game I beat was Dark Souls 2, on ps3, around June Banner Saga, early July. I've kept playing multiplayer games (Hearhstone, MMOs, DotA) but yall know the difference between playing competitive shit and playing a game which you can actually beat, so I've been craving some single-player for quite a while. I've also had a potato pc for like eight years, and as such I couldnt play any of the games with higher requirements .
But things have changed. Not only have I dealt with all that bullshit people refer to as "RL", but I've also bought a high-end PC. :mrpresident:
As far as my (very limited) understanding goes, I think i can run pretty much anything on high settings ATM. Now, not only I'm ready for some serious gaming, but I'm ready for some serious gaming in its 1920x1020 glory. Imagine my surprise when I found that I have absolutely no idea what to play.
First, the obvious guess - I'd try Witcher 3. Not cause i particularly care about it, but cause I heard normies raising it to glory, and i really, really wanna crush their snowman. And if they are actually right, all the better for me, right? But my OCD wont allow me to play the third installment in series without playing the previous two, especially when "narrative" "actually matters". And there is no way in hell I'm gonna try Witcher 1 again any time soon, especially not now that I can actually run something new. Same goes for Bioshock: Infinite, and to a lesser extent DA:i (i'd play it for the lulz, why not? many lulz to be found at original DA).
Then I tried the next most obvious stuff - games with newer installments where not even the writers care about "narrative". Went with MK10 - and, boy, that shit is wicked. Every single penny I threw to get this beast was worth it. But seriously, as awesome as it is, I've always enjoyed playing fighting games with someone else right beside you. I mean, cmon bros, how can you toss your joypad at an AI ffs? Same goes for Heroes of Might and Magic and stuff like that, no way I'm gonna be playing a worse HoMM3 with better graphics, alone. Never experienced any joypad tossing while playing HoMM tho, but I did partake in Disciples 2 mouse toss.
Now, the real tl:dr -
Recommend me a game with high system requirements that is actually enjoyable. It musnt have any multiplayer, unless multipalyer sucks and isnt the games prime play mode. Also, better stay off sequels, since chances are I havent played a previous installment and my autism is preventing me from enjoying it.
And no, no way in hell I'm gonna play DA:2.
