仙剑奇侠传

Haven't heard about that one before... :">

 

Care to tell a little bit more about it, what type of game etc. ?

 

Anyway, my own favourites (limited to games from the last 10 years, otherwise it just gets too long):

  • Fallout 1&2
     
  • Baldurs Gate 2
     
  • Icewind Dale 1&2 (and expansions)
     
  • Carmageddon (&^%$# 3Dfx Glide only for 3d support)
     
  • Tombraider (even more &^%$# 3Dfx Glide only for 3d support)
     
  • Planescape: Torment
     
  • Jagged Alliance 2
     
  • Battlefields 1942 (and expansions)
     
  • Master of Orion 2
     
  • Heroes of Might & Magic III (and expansions)
     
  • Kotor 1&2
     
  • Disciples II

Not necessarily in that order :blink:

 

Edit: Honorable mention because of the sheer amount of time spent playing: UT2004, VMBL and Pirates!

 

Wow, I must say, I'm interested to see someone including Icewind Dale, and perhaps pleased to see it given some recognition. A little-appreciated title indeed. I'm afraid that, for me, playing it after Planescape: Torment, the classic D&D gameplay that served to inspire me in Baldur's Gate just wasn't enough anymore, even with me being a former pen and paper 2E AD&D gamer.

Mind you, I'm only half way with KOTOR2, and I'm currently doubting whether I should finish it before some sort of content patch has been acknowledged/denied.

 

KOTOR was very good, but IMHO the main reason it stood out so well was because of the games it was "competing" with at that time. I know tons of games that left me with a much greater taste in my mouth. KOTOR2 has already impressed me more.

 

I have yet to play any BG game. The IWD games were probably great, but I never finished either of them. The whole setting and story never did it for me. I'm not much of a D&D fan, actually. Torment is an exception, but I couldn't care less what universe it plays in, as there is little of its core elements that are not to love.

Dude, I just have to say... Dreamweb kicked ass. A pal even got the CD rerelease of that one.

 

Anyway, I don't really want to order games because there's different genres and stuff... but anyway:

 

- Fantasy cRPG: Planescape: Torment.

It was so storydriven and had interaction with the NPC's which felt new at the time... especially compared to BG1. I also liked that you could switch classes and stuff... it was just so huge. Bloody great game.

 

- Scifi cRPG: Fallout series :luck:

Really fancy freedom of choice. Ah, I could rant all day about the fallout series.

 

- FPS: Half-life 1

It was so unlike the other FPS's out there when it came. It felt like it had content, and it was real immersive. And bad fishies!

 

- First person sneaker: The Thief series.

Bloody brilliant I say. Again, I loved the freedom you had to go about each mission your own way. And you could loiter. I love that in a game. I for one loved Thief III, even though many of the Thief fans complained about the changes and duming down of the game. I missed many of the toys from the earlier games, but Thief III was still a good game.

 

I also loved the NOLF series... it was a good laugh, and NOLF 2 was just too pretty. I spent ages playing Morrowind, but I never finished it... but I think that's ok, because I enjoyed the game while I played it (and that's what you're paying for, right?). I think one of the best games I've played lately must be Beyond Good and Evil. I feel as if the other games that've come out recently have all been lacking... either that or they've been Tech demos. I did enjoy Half-life 2, and the source engine is just brilliant.

 

Oh, I forgot... Arcanum. Really loved that game. And Obsidian, I do love KOTOR 2... I think it's even better than KOTOR 1 :luck:

That's the problem with Thief 3&KotOR 2, they are JUST good games and everyone expected excellence.

I have a habit of searching mods&content for all the games I like and it's amazing what they can become, Morrowind and many other games get a second life.

仙剑奇侠传

 

Omg..That game. The first one was the best, second and third one sucked.

 

You are right.仙剑奇侠传---Legend of fair sword and hero(translate by myself)

Yes,based on novel,authot is 金庸.In China,it nick name is "tear maker".

I like Magic and might hero 4 very much.JA2 is good game.

If I tell you I'm good

You would probably think I'm boasting

If I tell you I'm no good

You know I'm lying

Yeah, I think the community has about modded Thief 3 so it looks more or less exactly like Thief 1 and 2 (I mean the UI and stuff). And that's without having ANY sdk's.

You know, I bought UT2004 just for the mods... Alien Swarm kicks ass!

 

edit: Oh! I forgot mentioning Deus Ex 1, didn't I? I actually played Deus Ex 1 just last year and I almost had an orgasm because of the sexy interface. I just loved that game to death. And I love hacking in that game... I think that's one of the things I loved most with Vampire: Bloodlines, it used almost the same method of handling hacking as Deus Ex 1 did.

Still, after all those tweaks it's not as good as Thief 1&2, blame it on Xbox.

There are mods for Deus Ex 1 (check gamespot) and one of them is made by PC Gamer UK.

Yeah, one of the biggest changes is the size of each "level" I think... in Thief 1 and 2 the whole AREA was one level, so it made your freedom even larger. Also, there were more roofs and stuff I think. I felt a bit boxed in, in thief 3. Even though Thief 3 isn't as good as thief 1 and 2, I think it's a damn good game... which says a lot about the earlier games.

Hah... I can't believe I forgot to mention the Monkey Island series. Now there's high quality right there.

 

And yeah, System Shock was damn fancy... I think I only played System Shock 2 though.

 

Monkey Island, Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle were all fabolous games. Grim Fandango was also great. I miss adventure games.
