General Discussion

Me, my wife and my kids all play COH togther are there any other Good PVE games out there. We Don't have the time or skill to invest in playing PVP well. We would love an other game with Lots of 4-5 person PVE Content. 

Thanks in advance   

You could try Phantasy Star Universe. Good PvE with no PvP. Hard to find group if you dont know where to look but since you got group ready that is not an issue.

You might give FFXI a try. With 4-5 people you wouldn't have to spend so much time looking for groups.

Vanguard is all about PVE,it is alot better now than at launch and has some great quests and a great world to explore the population is still a bit to be desired but if you have nice pc set-ups and you all play together then you could have a great time there.

If you and your family have good computers (read: good graphics cards) I would really recommend Vanguard.

It's the best PvE game I've played to date with 16 very different classes and a huge world to explore. It also has more depth of gameplay than I've seen in any game to date.

There will be a free trial out in August which would probably be best to wait for before you go buying a few copies for you all to play.

It is solo and raid friendly but the core content and direction is for groups between 3 - 6 people.

I play it with my children but unfortunately my wife is a forum fiend, not a gamer :)

For a well-polished, easy game that fits well with family play, WOW cannot be beat.

For you guys suggesting Vanguard, I think we need to be realistic.  Vanguard is a game that cannot decide what it wants to be (EQ?  WOW?) and has failed miserably in all its incarnations.  I have played Vanguard off and on since Beta2, at launch, and just a month or two ago. 

Vanguard is a crappy game and I'd expect the plug to be pulled soon.  For those very, very few who like it, bon appetit.  But to suggest to someone new that it's a good family game is unfair.  The game has 4 servers left and that speaks volumes.

My suggestion to the OP stands; get WOW and you won't be disappointed.

sad thing is WoW is one of the best PvE games.  i'd say LOTRO was a pretty good PvE game, same with FFXI

For polish i'd say lotro, loads of polish on it. Good lore, nice art, loads of "fun" quests, best community, most quests / book quests doable under 1 h, and nice graphics.

Vanguard - 10X as complex as COH, my favorite

WoW - Little more complex that COH, good times

Dungeon Runners - ehhh

Play offline games: Dungeon Siege 2, Neverwinternights 2

FFXI - If you liked COH, you won't like this. I made that mistake already.

I would agree WoW or LOTRO for PvE only, but from someone comes from fast pace combat action in CoH. They might get bored with the slow pace combat in WoW or LOTRO
