Kaftan Barlast Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 K2:TSL is the best game in all genres Ive ever played and Ive played most of them. I have NEVER seen such good story crafting and character interaction. Absolutely marvellous. It was partially dread to play it since I knew it had to end.

omnimutant Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Rome: Total War I didn't forget it, I just never played it. History Channel ruined it for me. Mafia... now that was a great game!

Oerwinde Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 K2:TSL is the best game in all genres Ive ever played and Ive played most of them. I have NEVER seen such good story crafting and character interaction. Absolutely marvellous. It was partially dread to play it since I knew it had to end. Obsidian has earned more than respect from me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Play Planescape: Torment. Its not as cinematic because its sprite based, but the story and character interaction is unmatched IMO. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Musopticon? Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Mafia... now that was a great game! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it was. Thank god Illusion Softworks(the developer) are planning for a sequel. Something to quench the thirst for mobster games, ah....thank you. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Astatine Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I see lots of reappearing themes here... Hmm lessee. In no particular order apart from that in which they spring to mind (which, I guess, does mean something...) Morrowind Baldur's Gate Icewind Dale KOTOR2 KOTOR Unreal Half-Life 2 Civilization 2 Doom Exile (the BBC game, released in 1988... ahh, memories ) There, I think that's ten of 'em.
Ellester Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Mine Sweeper Solitaire Internet Backgammon Hearts And number one: Internet Checkers I sadly have put countless hours into these games and rank them as the best timewasters (or games if you like) ever! Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson
Judas Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 No order... FFX FF Tactics Tactics Ogre BG Series FF3 (North America) I like the Smackdown! games for the PS2 as well, but they're pretty hit-miss for me each year, and this year I wasn't impressed.
Kaftan Barlast Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Play Planescape: Torment. Its not as cinematic because its sprite based, but the story and character interaction is unmatched IMO. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just played it, K2 betters it on every point. I just think most peple pefer to see Ps:T through the rose-colored glasses of memory. K2 is just a landmark in gaming history when it comes to blending the worlds of dramatology and computer gaming. I cant wait for when Chris Avellone & Co. gets to do a real independant production game.

romeo_longsword Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Play Planescape: Torment. Its not as cinematic because its sprite based, but the story and character interaction is unmatched IMO. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just played it, K2 betters it on every point.

I cant wait for when Chris Avellone & Co. gets to do a real independant production game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you have JUST played it, its kind of unfair to comparing an old game TODAY with a morden game of today. But I suppose there is no "fairness" when it comes to personal view. I would also say Planescape: T is one of the best game ever, the vioce acting was bloody great, the character design was bloody great (better than BG IMO), the story was bloody great, the writing(dialog) was bloody great. Everthing was so good that made the action seems rubbish, which was actually still ok for its time.
roguefrog Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 1. Planescape: Torment - "What can change the nature of a man?" The Story, Characters, and Dialogue stand triumphant over all. The setting stands alone as the most unique and surreal. 2. Fallout - A Post Nuclear RPG Masterpiece: Open-ended, satisfying turn-based combat, SPECIAL rockz0rz my soxz0rz! 3. Total Annihilation -
kbned Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 1. gothic 1 (would have been gothic 2 but having to fight all those dragons at the end kind of killed it) 2. mafia 3. gothic 2 4. blade runner 5. deus ex 1 (the second one had some pretty cool areas, could have been a lot better) 6. dune 1 7. gta vice city 8. hitman 2 9. bloodlines 10. fallout 1 and 2 11. kotor 1 probably some more i cant remember but thats enough for now.
Yst Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 KotOR II and Planescape: Torment stand for me as the finest examples of story-telling in computer games to date which I have experienced. I find it difficult to say which is the better. But on the basis of one particular criterion, I could certainly pick a favourite. Torment benefits from its taking place in a vastly more complex game universe than any Star Wars game. Star Wars, at its core, still bases itself around the material of the original Light versus Dark, Good Guys versus Bad Guys save-the-princess story which started it all, effectively possessing all the moral complexity of a serial superhero flick. The depth of KotOR II is completely in spite of that fact, and the plot struggles to reconcile the insanity of the bland Light Side and Dark Side categories with a more meaningful moral universe where they cease to carry much weight. In the balance, I prefer the game, Planescape, which better benefits from its original setting and the depth of that setting, rather than struggling with its generic fairy tale clich
Tysplo Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 1. It's a tie between KOTOR and TSL 2. Jedi Outcsast 3. Jedi Academy 4. Counter-Strike: Source (HL2) 5. Final Fantasy X 6 LotR: Battle for Middle Earth 7. Star Wars Battlefront
Setzer Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 1. Final Fanstasy VI 2. Chrono Trigger 3. Knights of the Old Republic 4. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 5. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn 6. Heroes of Might & Magic III 7. Final Fantasy IV 8. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 9. Xenogears 10. Baldur's Gate
Planeforger Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 #1: Planescape Torment The rest are not in order. Fallout 1+2 Metroid series (Prime or Super probably my favourites) Eternal Darkness Thief trilogy (2nd one my favourite) Monkey Island series Grim Fandango Half-Life 2 Rome: Total War Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines
