Portal, is it worth trying?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I don't understand half the word the PA is saying. That's going to be ... challenging.

Just nod. It has your best interests at heart.

So did the nameless being that wrote my orders in Dec. '69.

Looking for single-player games that aren't kill-kill-kill-kill-repeat. Your thoughts are solicited.

It is a fantastic and complex puzzle game with a great dystopian plot.
Cunning but do able.

GS... just fyi, this song is a semi-spoiler.

Put the captions on as someone suggested. You def wanna hear the stuff on the PA.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Sounds interesting. I've been looking at games with a controllable pace that don't involve a lot of keyboard use, because of my lack of fingers. I've concentrated on turn-based strategy, but most of those are rather simplistic. I wish I could play Skyrim, but I think it would be beyond me. Portal sounds interesting except for the concentration on mind-numbing puzzles. I be kinda dumb when it comes to figuring out games, so I prefer less brain intensive fare. And thanks for suggesting Factorio, Hammy. I don't think it's for me, but it looks like something I would have no difficulty playing.

I think perhaps part of the solution for me may be setting up a Virtual box running Windows XP or 98, and resurrecting some older turn-based stuff like Civ II, XCOM, Railroad Tycoon, and less intense/complex RTS like Warcraft II.

Or you can just find a webpage with the solutions to the puzzles.

Have you tried the newer iterations of X-com? They're dope.

Portal 2 is good too.

I've got the CD for XCOM: Apocalypse, but I've never played it. I don't know if it would run under Windows 7.

I played the original XCOM at one point, but the AI kept kicking my ass.
