i have recently started to play games on the PC and switched from the Xbox360, what are some great games to really get into, i want games that i can throw hours and hours into and still feel rewarding, games like for me minecraft, i have no telling how meany hours in minecraft, since the frist alpha i have been playing and i still do. i have tried games like League of Legends, but it is to toxic if your not a pro player. Heartstone is a game i have been playing a lot of and it has been fun but i don't want to play it every day. Any suggestions wold be thanked
If you liked Minecraft I would suggest Terraria and Starbound. They are similar games, just 2D instead of 3D. There is also DayZ and Rust, but those are more survival type games.
I would also recommend FTL: Faster than Light if you want something with replay value. It's strategy/roguish game.
Two good FPS games would be Portal 1-2, and Teamfortress 2.
All of these can be found on Steam. Of these I'd recommend Terraria, Starbound, and Teamfortress 2 for starters. As much as I love Dota 2, I don't recommend it if you didn't like League of Legends.
If you think you might like strategy games I would suggest something like Civ 5. The learning curve isn't too bad since it is turn based and the replayability is pretty decent. I personally have over 300 hours into it.
I'm going to be running a server for Starbound if you end up getting that I'd let you jump on the server. I won't get it until it's officially released though.
If you plan on playing Dota I can add you on Steam and we can do some matches. I've been playing since it released. It can be frustrating initially.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (word of warning this game is buggy as hell you need to install the unofficial patch to get this game running the way it is meant to be played. it has good story and gameplay)
Deus Ex (Both The Original and Human Revolution) (arguably the best game to grace the glorious PC Master Race)
Tomb Raider (Reboot) (this game was such a good reboot and amazing graphics)
Far Cry 3 (Basically Skyrim with Guns)
The Witcher (1 & 2) [an excellent RPG that is open world but very linear)
Skyrim (this RPG alone modded will make anyone cry)
