For me the franchise peaked with Alpha Centauri (which isn't really part of the franchise but you know what I mean), and no Civ after that could live up to the awesomitude of AC.

I'm waiting for the "Can I have your stuff" post

This poll is rigged! Any poll where a game with such a well written story such as Alpha Centauri ranks worse than Mass Effect must be rigged. I shall leave the forum forevermore in protest!

Well, at least Alpha Protocol is ranked higher than those games I didn't vote for

The added stress is the wonder if by siding with one side you miss out on a recruitable character

No they are both fighting the undead. And the thingie I need is in the fortress overrun by the undead. But the two armies (that both want to clear the undead out of the fortress) refuse to work together, and I need one of the two to let me use their basecamp.

I want to play games with choices. But whenever there is a choice, I can't decide on which choice to make. Undead have overrun the area. Two armies are there. I can ally with one of them and annoy the other one. Both armies blame the other for not cooperating against the undead. Who do I choose? The knightly order that got overrun by the undead in the first place or the mercenaries who see this as an opportunity to steal an ancient artifact?

I thought I had voted for it as well

As long as they like the same stuff I like I agree wholeheartedly

DS2 was a surprisingly good game. My only gripe with it was that when npcs would talk, the game wouldn't pause. I have no clue what the people in my party were saying to our enemy, usually I'd have to defend myself and the click would skip the text away

Dragonfall was the one with the dragon I think? Never completed it. Got bored.

Because I enjoyed it much more than most of the games, which were released last 5 years *shrugs* And I have no understanding how. I found the gameplay extremely lackluster, dull and underwhelming. The writing was decent. I would have enjoyed the plot as a shadowrun novel. But the game packaged around it I found lacking compared to any other turn based rpg.

I think Shadowrun Returns is the first game on the list where I have no understanding why people would have voted for it.

You gave it 100 votes

I like buying through Humble, and that gives steam keys.

Nothing I voted for in the new batch Though Tetris and Dungeon Keeper I had considered.

6 is the one with Kefka destroying the world and Celes waking up on the island. Celes does disguise herself as an opera singer at one point.

Yes, and for me it is not just gameplay wise, but also theme-wise. I keep meaning to buy the Overlord games cheap on sale. But I just can't farm sheep and seal cubs for mana. The lol-value of certain things no longer appeals to me. I think soon I run the danger of stopping playing violent games altogether

There are some games in people's lists that just aren't my genre or style. Or not my platform.

I am very certain I have games on my list only I voted for.

It's purpose was to have fun.

FFVI was in my draft list. But I needed to kick some games out.

Just call it "The RANDOM specific results thread". Any threat that has random in the title is OK and becomes a staple of this sub-forum.

Yes, they are.

Is that when you play on PC, hit ~ then type tmm1 ?
