Any good fast paced PC games?

[Tehdagah]

Play Doom 2 with Chillax wad



:kwafuckyeah:

 

[Arthandas]

Doom looks suspiciously like an FPS game, which I explicitly said I don't want to.

 

[Silva]

Luftrausers ?

 

[Amn Nom]

Crypt of the Necrodancer. Something something roguelike, something something move to the beat.

 

[Ivan]

Nuclear Throne

 

[ERYFKRAD]

You could get a fighting game... Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.
If not then....
Darksiders
Legacy of Kain maybe
Prince of Persia is pretty intense, though not as combat focused the trap sequences can give heart attacks

 

[Grimwulf]

How about games that demand your max concentration for a certain period of time (time limit), where you hafta pay attention to everything, make fast decisions, and that kind of thing? Papers, Please; FTL: Faster than Light. There are others, but I have memory issues.

Teleglitch is something you could like, Arthandas. It's challenging too, if you don't mind rogue-like approach with no save system at all. As I recall I couldn't pass through 3 or 4th level cause I was too butthurt about losing everything.

Dynasty Warriors

I said good games. DW is for braindead buttonmashers and Kavkaz looks like seizure inducting Hotline Miami ripoff.

Empires version of DW requires some strategical and tactical thinking. Especially if you play on Hard and fight battles at disadvantage. Strategems (aka spells), control over other officers on your side give a lot of ways to control the combat.

ERYFKRAD should get a FISTING BOT tag

Crypt of the Necrodancer - It's for casuls. I'd rather play Dwarf Fortress while listening to Soilwork
Darksiders/LoK/PoP - All beaten. They have a strong exploration element so for the purpose of this thread I don't consider them a non-stop intense action.
Fighting games - I literally played every single good one on PC.
FTL - I've beat it, it's intense but not an action game...
Teleglitch - I played it and didn't like it a one bit.

I want something extreme like Devil May Cry on Turbo mode or One Finger Death Punch on highest difficulty. Instead of AAA titles or some very popular indie games, I though that maybe you know of some hidden gems like Savant: Ascent or Super House Of Dead Ninjas which I found on Steam totally by mistake.

 

[grudgebringer]

And... what exactly you didn't like about it?

 

[Grimwulf]

Devil May Cry on Turbo mode

hidden gems like Savant: Ascent or Super House Of Dead Ninjas

Men. You should either get a console, or play literally any platformer of 90s on PC.

There is a lot of heavy-action games on PC, but they are mostly old, and haven't really aged well visually. Hellgate: London, or Suffering (both parts). They had some chill-out zones, but DMC had them too, as well as any action game. Otherwise, it's non-stop. Action industry has mostly moved to consoles - that's where yer gems are. Just be sure to play on max difficulty to avoid facerolling.

 

[Dreaad]

Crazy birds. Tetris on insane difficulty, Diablo, get a console.

Fine, serious answers.
Onimusha 3
You might really like Kingdoms of Amalur....
You could emulate monster hunter
Blades of time

Anyway I'm not sure you're looking for any action game, cause that's a very wide genre, I think you're looking for a hack and slash game.

Most good, fast-paced action games are on consoles.

Random shit from my library:

Audiosurf.
Bionic Commando Rearmed.
Broforce.
Gauntlet (2014).
Geometry Wars.
Infested Planet.

 

[DraQ]

No FPS, shmups, racers and online games.

Faggert.

I find learning C++ more fun than playing IWBTG.

Are you implying C++ is not fun enough for you, troglodyte?

 

[Arthandas]

Anyway I'm not sure you're looking for any action game, cause that's a very wide genre, I think you're looking for a hack and slash game.

Of course I'm not looking for any action game, I explicitly specified I want something extremely fast paced and difficult.

Pillars of Eternity.

THANKS! /topic

 

[baturinsky]

What about bullet hell games (my personal favorite is Parodius series)?
Oor service games, where you serve tables or dispatch flights. They can get quite intense.

 

[Arthandas]

Nah, I said no shmups.

 

[grudgebringer]

Of course I'm not looking for any action game, I explicitly specified I want something extremely fast paced and difficult.

You excluded racing games, but if you want a really fast action then Ballistics is the fastest I've ever played. It requires fastest response on the edge of a sensory threshold.

You should try Distance.

Also, I think we broke ERYFKRAD...

Don't worry, he was broken long before that. I belive it's somehow related to his love of Konung series. The man has serious PTSD.

Also, never make bets against him.

 

[Ebonsword]

If the idea of taking on 20 enemies at once in hand-to-hand combat sounds fun, then Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is worth a look.

You really need to watch what upgrades you pick up, though, because it's super easy to destroy all difficulty in the game with the right load-out.
