Finished game - now what?

[Speed112]

Wow, I can't believe i actually spent over 45 mins to read this whole thread
What i might add is that some games are just incredible, I am a very versatile gamer and switch my game type very often, I get into streaks and play many different games from a category, but there are always some amazing games that have an x-factor that gets me addicted (For example Diablo2 at its time, Counter-Strike when i'm into FPS, WoW in MMO streak, Lords of War and Money when i play browser-based games and last but not least KB:L at TBS phase)
Usually I get bored of a game once I know the whole storyline (even tho I didnt finish every quest or found every kind of mob or found out every unique stuff), It simply gets dull and thanks to that game i abandon the whole game-type, until I remember those great games from the respective type with the x-factor and I start playing them again, so I dump the current type and re-embrace one from the past.
A few games that marked me and made me spend countless hours in front of the computer are Fallout 2, M&M series, some old games (such as Baldur's Gate that i still play from time to time), Planescape: Torment, numerous shooters, Diablo series, Spellforce, and a few other but the names are slipping.

PS: I want to apologize because i use so large posts to express my thoughts and opinions

No need of apology - your post is just OK (under 5K letters/signs )

I am happy to find out similar game styles attached players (Fallout2, Planescape Torment, Diablo 2, from shooters Call of Duty4, counter strike 1.6, 2.0) And I am very good-mood started due the hidden notice on Fallout3 (that it is missing, even if F2 is referred, it was released few weeks/month ago and nearly no one is addressing it as "game I love to play") Honestly F3 is great game disaster... based on my huge expectation from it (played at least 10 mods of F2 just to survive while waiting on F3) I would call F3 as the Mistake of the Year 2009!

Anyway, I spend cca 4 hours at PC in my free time each day, where at least 90% is playing games (there was time I tried to become game maker... but it stopped at wannabe level) So the list of games I have played would be hell long... but without long thinking one can tell the best when he puts them in 10 seconds in a post

Hello.

You might enjoy "Mount & Blade". Even though it is a little bit more "action-like", it's a really, really good game. I'm playing it for a few month and it is still inspiring, fun and motivating.

Here you can get an overview. Perhaps you will like it.

It's a kind of game I always wanted. Gives a kind of "Conan the Barbarian"-Feeling but ist also very strategic.

Enjoy.

After roughly 75 hours of play time I've finally finished the game. What a great game, very few games of this length have left me wanting to continue playing. I would rate KB in my top 10 all time games, and I've been playing computer games since the early '80s, including lots of RPGs.

Of course I plan to buy the expansion. In the meantime I will be making my way through the stack of mostly adventure games that I have accumulated.

Hey, some examples would be welcomed

I've started playing the adventure Syberia 2, which I picked up cheap in a combination pack. Not worth playing though, highly over rated, the first Syberia was much better.

I read bad reviews for HoMM 5, so I didn't try it when it came out. But a friend said that the expansion pack "Tribes of the East" is worth playing. I think it is a standalone game, so I will give it a try.

I started playing Syberia 2 as well (my girlfriend likes it)... I like about S2 lack of bugness, S1 was full of bugs (and I had all patches installed, some of them were released only few months ago )

I would go for Tribes of the East if I were you -> it will provide you with that, what is most missed in KB tL : duel mode, random map generator, internet full of maps (some very great, some not) and... tadaa... internet fights . Also Homm5 reminds a lot on HOMM3, which is based on forums the best of HOMM series (I like Homm IV, as it has much more variability... and having 3 mage heroes in army, each casting mass damage spells, is just great )

Any update on when the english version of the expansion will be available? Any idea if KB is profitable for the maker ?
