Hey guys,

I'm looking for computer games that don't need an internet connection to play, since my internet at my house is absolutely horrid.

Does anyone have any suggestions for games that don't need online? It's really hard to find ones that don't have some sort of "Always online" restriction...

Ok, sweet, I'll look into it! Are there any good shooting games for PC that don't require internet connection? I've heard a lot about Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3, do either of those require constant connection? Also, anyone know any good RTS games that don't require Online?

No, it isn't. Almost every single player game in the world with the exception of Simcity 5, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 can be played completely offline, so what the heck are you talking about?

That's exactly what I was thinking, too, and the handful of games that actually do have always-online DRM (that aren't MMORPGs) have pretty much failed miserably.

Sums up the topic perfectly. You'd be hard pressed to find an always online PC game that's also good.

Just go for anything that piques your interest, really, there isn't that many always online games. At worst a majority of the games require a once off online activation due to them having steamworks or some other kind of DRM. But if you want couple of games to go through which are for a fact always offline after downloading the installer (and don't mind a majority of them being old), go through Good Old Game's library then, they're as anti-DRM as one can get.

I think I can count on 1 hand the amount of single player games that need an always on connection. I dont think you'll have any problems.
