Decent games to relax to?

I am not an avid gamer, but i would like to find a nice game to smoke a bowl, relax to (no action) and immerse myself into a nice storyline.

no action style stuff, and no rpg gay shit.

*puts on wizard hat*

suggestions?

Ops.

Well, i don't know if it has storyline, but, for PS3 there is a game which everyone speaks very well of it. It's Flower, a game with very nice fields and locations. Another game could be flOw, made by the same team.
And if you gonna solve mysteries there is one amazing adventure in the 90's called Myst. One of the best (for me) adventure games. For Saturn, PS1 and PC.
Or probably the old tomb raiders, the first one don't have so much action and you have to explore the places.

If you like horror or mystery, there's a great number of point-and-click sort of adventure games out there for PC... they seem to have them all at Wal-Mart, try there.

Worms 3D

Edit: Just re-read your post, nevermind

I cannot personally vouch for it, but a lot of people really adored this game:

Might be worth looking into, everyone says the story is excellent and that it's really adventure/puzzle-oriented as opposed to action/combat.

//And then there's always...

Flower for PS3.. What could be more relaxing than playing as the wind?

Yeah, came here to suggest Dreamfall.

Maybe I should check it out myself, if you're recommending it.

you would like phoenix wright for the ds no action story driven where you are an attorney and solve high profile cases

I only watched the second movie, but is that game just "follow the trail of petals" or does it require any thought? I could see that game being cool if it was more interesting.

what systems do you have jay? if you're just doing the PC thing you could always try sim city 4 or one of those puzzler/adventure games like.. resident evil, splinter cell, sam and max.

personally when i'm just relaxing i can't play video games for longer than an hour or so- usually i bust out the old school nintendo/SNES/etc games like tetris or tecmo bowl. no long-ass annoying introductory bullshit and it holds your attention long enough until you find something better to do

shoot me a pm if you can't find these games.

One of the Civilization or Sim games... something turn-based would do well.

Puzzle games... Tetris Attack, Kirby's Avalanche/Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (same game, SNES vs. Genesis).

I also find Super Metroid and Metroid Prime to be pretty good games to kick back and relax to, even though there is action involved.

How about just going retro and play the shit out of Monkey Island 1 (2?, 3?) or Sam & Max?

thanks for the suggestions.

i already have all of the leisure suit larrys

this would be for pc, i am a little ummm old to be buying game consoles, although i did play red alert (used to love that game on ps1) this weekend on ps3 getting smashed with a friend.

if you like C&C i hear an old game called "black and white" is really fuckin good. i don't get down with RTS though. i hear halo wars is good too

koreans ruined gaming for me. They play them everywhere, and i always had to rape errrr i mean scold my students for playing during class.

Just wait until Starcraft II, Korea will implode.

if north korea does not beat them to it that is

ha i swear all the korean exchange students around here hate videogames- it's all about soccer and.. uhm.. tennis.

@OP - Can I suggest "Peggle?"

It's one of my favorite "casual" games. It's hella chill, and you really don't need to be sober to be good.

Unfortunately, it is a Steam game if you hate steam, but you can DL a trial of it, where you can play 1 hr max. It's cheap and fun, and if you really really want, you can pirate it also.


Peggle Extreme is FREE too. One could say it's a demo version, but it's pretty solid of one.

Black & White was maybe the most amazing and engrossing game ever made... for about the first hour of play. It never quite picks up after that.

If you're not too old to get trashed with friends on the weekend, you're definitely not too old to be buying game consoles.

If you're just looking for a neat game to kill some time and some weed on, try this:

http://www.audio-surf.com/

Maybe not what you were asking for, but it really blurs the line between video games and music. I bet a lot of people here would actually dig it. Plus, it's only $10.

//Fuck it, here's a listing of games Steam offers for direct download:

You are sure to find something that interests you if you poke around. And you don't even have to leave your chair!

As Halcyon mentioned, check the Indie game section in the Steam store, lots of cheap timewasters in there.

A lot of the Sim games are great for this too and if you don't feel like paying / hunting down the older games you can probably just find them online somewhere. Sim City 2000 has always been a favorite of mine, Sim Tower is sick too. Simulation games like Civilization and things of that nature are great for relaxing as well.

editwow all this stuffs been mentioned, oh well)

Guitar Hero: Metallica is very relaxing for me.

you like sports? i play this golf game and baseball game that you can downlaod for free from gamescampus. its pretty relaxed.
