Any Good Single Player Only FPS games and RTS games?

For RTS you could look at the re-release of Homeworld. It does have online but its mainly single player.

I assume then that this is a good Ping ratio with a Jitter of 3ms?

That will be fine playing any online game TBH.

wolfenstein New order is a good singe player fps

Thanks everyone for the tips. I've decided to check out this game, Valkyria Chronicles. I enjoyed the anime years ago and checked out the turn based RPG format and it looks fun.

RTS with single player?

Well, I have to recommend StarCraft 2, lots of good deals on it currently as well.

I'm replaying FarCry at the moment and it's a good solid FPS. And tough as nuts unless your patient. Its certainly not a COD style game where you can run in guns blazing.

Same goes for sequels and also the Crysis series. Also worth a punt is Metro 2033, and Wolfenstein.

Another vote for Wolfenstein - New Order here in the FPS catergory. I really expected it to be mediocre and it really wasn't! Dishonored or Deus Ex Human Revolution might be worth a punt too if you fancy more sneaky stealth and a more open approach to combat.

As far as RTS games go I've been playing a LOT of Tropico 5 recently. Not everyones cup of tea but I prefer Civ style games over Command and Conquer type stuff these days

If you want a not combat based RTS, take a look at Banished. Its along the lines of Tropico, but with a lot more focus on realism and longevity / survival of the population rather than goal based.

I built a large village out of a few "banished" folk, and ended up having them all starve to death after a bad winter because I didn't have the foresight to prepare for a hurricane destroying my crops mid summer Grr!

New entry: Cities Skylines!

Just checked the game out. Looks interesting. A lot of the games I'm seeing now offer much more diversity for play compared to consoles. Happy I switched. I was looking at this game on GOG and Steam, it's cheaper on GOG but the download size is much bigger on Steam. I have noticed this with many games on Steam compared to their non DRM counter parts. Has anyone else noticed this? Why is there such a difference?

Dishounered is on my list as it looks great. I've completed Deus Ex - Human Revolution on my X360 recently. Are there any differences to warrant a replay apart from controls and visual upgrades. Mod support there?

GOG doesn't have any AAA titles that are current so because they're not on par graphically with say the latest Wolfenstein (60gb was it?) they have much smaller download sizes. I'm sure in a couple of years GOG will have the same size downloads that we're seeing now as the current games become old and DRM is less of a concern for the publishers.

I heard Spec Ops: The Line was good (it's third-person though).

Couple of corrections - firstly GOG have some AAA current games, they just pick and chose them very carefully. The Witcher 3 is going to be the most obvious example, though obviously there's the publisher connection. But they also have an interest in good RPGs and certain studios, so you'll find new games from Larian and Obsidian often appear on GOG.

The Witcher 3 is at least on par graphically with the latest games from anyone else.

But secondly, and more pertinently, he was talking about why the same game has a different size on GOG vs Steam

The answer is of course, the Steam wrapper, which is partly DRM, and partly to do with they way they stream updates and so on. Depending on the game engine, this can lead to some very large downloads for even minor patches (but doesn't always). It depends on the way the game data is packaged by the game engine.

It's actually 3rd person but is probably the most under-rated game I have ever played.

Played it through co-op with a friend, we both thoroughly enjoyed it (and it came with a Humble Bundle iirc)
