>he doesn't know how to make lists in steam
>>318073316
do you really hate your dad or something? You bought him Torchlight and Borderlands?
wtf m8
>having parents
HAHAHAHAHA
fucking casual, if you didn't grow up in the woods eating wildlife and berries then don't fucking post here
This is both kind and incredibly embarrassing.
>Borderlands
>Dragon Age
>Amazing story
Why haven't you played Assasin's Creed 2 yet? It's literally a 10/10 perfect game.
Every other game in the franchise is pretty much garbage, but 2 perfected everything.

>tes
>set in europe
Parent thread?
My father has been trying to play most of the AAA releases that come out and his favorite series are KOTOR and Mass Effect.
>>318073823
Origins is kind of the last good Bioware game.
But seriously OP do you fucking hate your dad that you want to make him play through both of those fucking boring Borderlands games, especially alone?
>buying your dad recettear
>>318074016
Yeah, but Origins is still a highly generic and formulaic release like all of Bioware's games. It's a good game but nothing special, it received massive praise because people weren't making games like that at the time.
>>318073316
whats with that cringey bull shit and all those ramdom shit games he wont enjoy
what a gay son he has
Dads like RTS games. You should have got him red alert 2 or something.
Sonic and AllStars Racing Transformed. Get everything great about racing games, and have it in one game.
The PC version also has more characters than the console versions, and it's on sale.
>>318073316
Well shit, the only thing I did for my dadon father's dayvidya related was download some old SNES roms and an emulator and showed him how to play them
>>318073316
>no weebshit that you can walk in on him playing
>>318073316
If you thought Dragon Age, or Borderlands had an "amazing" story, then you don't know the meaning of the word amazing.
>>318073316
please be bait
>>318074206
>Dads like RTS games
Not the case for mine. He likes Shooter WAY more. Esp the ones where you are alone.
Just Cause being one example.
Funny enough the newer CoDs aint so mcuh his thign
Neat idea OP with the sticky note descriptions. Great effort. I'm sure your dad will appreciate the thought you put into it.
However. He's still a dad. I'm assuming older? Don't be offended if he barely plays anything you recommend and don't hold it against him.
My own father has a laptop from 2002 and he plays solitaire and minesweeper exclusively. He enjoyed playing Doom on n64 with my 10 year old brother but that's about the extent of his post-SNES gaming.
>>318073316
>Ass Effect 2
>not Mass Effect
Absolute shit taste
>>318073316
>Making your dad play Recettear
>>318073316
>duke nuke'em
>>318073316
Make sure he's going to understand what some of those words mean. They seem like they would be jargon to people who haven't really been into games before, and you don't want to put him off just because he doesn't understand.
>>318074538
Goddamn anon, my dad's the same way. The only games he plays now is solitaire, space cadet pinball, he doesn't play the roms i downloaded for him anymore.
>Too confusing
I'll probably just get him one of those SNES usb controllers or something
>>318073316
>oblivion on the left
>skyrim on the right
>borderlands 2 on the left
>borderlands 1 on the right
this triggers my autism
>>318073316
Why no Fallout 1/2? If he's never played many games before, he's not going to have enough experience to find them boring compared to FO3/NV.
3> so kind and wacky XD
hello reddit! XDDD
>>318073316
>Oblivion
>Set in Western Europe
>Skyrim
>Set in Scandinavia
You are a shitty son AND you have a shit father.
I'm fine with most of these for a casual entry, although I must ask why you'd subject your father to Borderlands over giving him more traditional, actually good shooters like Wolfenstein or even the recent Shadow Warrior.
Also,

>Similar to Dust
u fukin wot m8
If I was your dad I'd have an abortion from this list
>>318075103
it's the easiest way to explain to normies
>>318074110
Consider the context, here - He isn't giving it to Freddy /v/on Experienced, long-time video game expert, he's giving it to his dad, who I'm presuming isn't really that up to date and hasn't played any real shit in a good long while. To him this may easily be among the first games of the type he plays, so I don't see why he wouldn't enjoy it as a newb in the field.
>>318075667
Why even go into detail about it? He didn't feel the need for the other games.
My dad just likes metal gear, splinter cell and Tiger Woods games..
>>318073316
My dad really enjoyed the Geneforge series as did I. Its a game series with many branching endings, character customization, and consequences of even minor actions.
