He has a problem, which he wants to solve. So he comes up with a solution and asks us how to do his solution. His solution is implicitly flawed, but he doesn't know that. I think its sort of on us to figure out what his question is and help him that way

Q: What Tower Defense games are available for the PC?

I like playing strategic/puzzle games and now I'm looking for a good Tower Defense game for the PC. Doesn't matter if it's Flash-based or if I can buy it somewhere. Any suggestions? Edit by Gnoupi: To keep things clear, please propose only one game per answer, and don't duplicate the proposi...

Q: What are some good open-source games?

Because I'd like to try some more open-source games. I know of many but I'd like modern open-source games (games actively developed recently)

Q: What games offer a good co-op multiplayer experience?

I am not really a big fan of playing anything that is not with at least one other human being. For this reason most of the games I've ever really loved are FPS that you can play online with/against others. One thing that has always surprised me is how few games actually let you play their "story...

I actually think they lack the specificity. The original "class" questions were just: "How do I level a Priest?" This is akin to asking "How do I program in C?" Its a bad question. On the other hand if they had asked, "What is the formula for spirit based mana regen in WotLK?" it probably would have received a much more positive response.

@Oak - recommendations are not the "best thing to come out of the site". You can find recommendations of games everywhere. However, I agree that specific questions about a particular type of game should be left open. Like this one:

Oak

Jul 16, 2010 07:31

Anyway, I didn't vote. At the moment, I vote to close questions that are really broad. So I voted to close "what games are there for linux", but didn't vote "horror FPSs"

@juan Your comment on the topic of Gaming is right, if we leave them a little room now for discussion, it's not going to be around in a couple of months to even tidy up

Arda Xi

Jul 16, 2010 00:43

it's a discussion of the site itself

Kevin Y

Technically the question is identifying a game.
