WITHTEETH Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I was just appreciateing the old adventure & RPG games, like the Kings Quest series, Gabriel Knight series, The Longest Journey, and the first Myst. Playing KoTOR1 reminded me that PC games aren't just limited to 1st person shooters and war stragey games anymore. What was your Favorite games? BTW Fable is being ported from the XBOX to PC.

Bring on KotOR 3! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Brooks Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 K1 was the first RPG that I truly enjoyed since the Ultima series. It was the only other RPG where I connected with the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Man... King's Quest brings back the memories. That plus the fact it seemed there was new one released every year. What was the final version they made?.. or *gasp* are they still producing them?! Though not quite the classic as King's Quest, I think I may be one of the few that still has Baldur's Gate & Baldur's Gate II still loaded on my machine as well " "Eagles May Soar, But Weasels Don't Get Sucked Into Jet Engines" | My KotOR / TSL Mods | My WIP | USM Compatibility | Having trouble with TSL's cheat console?

Kor Qel Droma Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I played the first two Gabriel Knights. How was the third? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WITHTEETH Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 The last Gabriel Knight was awesome, not as riviting but still Worthy. it was called someething like blood of the sacred blood of the damned. reminds of the DaVinci Code book. The last Kings Quest game was Mask for eternity. that was the only one i didn't play. i heard it was horrible becasue the original makers were not involved... sounds familiar doesn't it.

darth spock Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 One of my favorite games is Beyond Good and Evil. It's a Ubi game that didn't really become very popular but won a lot of awards and recgonition from reviewers but still wasn't one of those really popular games. It's a great game... I remember loving every single hour of it. The Knights of the Old Republic series has proved promising for me from the first to TSL. I've replayed each at least twice and still love playing it. I can't seem to break away from it, which is good in the sense that I got my $50 worth. I've played both sexes LS and will play both DS pretty soon, too. I also really love Final Fantasy X, even though I've barely finished.

Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 2 + TOB System Shock 2 Torment <- best PRG for me ever Icewind Dale 1 & 2 (not sure if qualifies) Neverwinter Nights KOTOR 1 KOTOR 2 (waiting for the patch before I continue) I'm looking forward to Neverwinter Nights 2 and KOTOR 3...

D.C. Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Gabriel Knight 3 is actually my favourite in the series. Very awesome story and atmosphere. Do you suppose KotOR3 will be announced at E3 or do we have to do some more waiting. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(w00t) but rumor is they are making a new engine which would take some time. they might collect tidbits of artwork story ect... thats just my guess. By the way, they are making a new Longest journey game also. Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website!

D.C. Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 BioWare announced KotOR a couple of years before it was released, so maybe they'll do the same this year at E3. What about NWN... do you suppose Obsidian will show some screenshots? Yeah, Dreamfall's one of my most anticipated games at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yst Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Yeah, Dreamfall's one of my most anticipated games at the moment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed. I suppose it's my only highly anticipated game at the moment. I tend to go for story, writing and character development, and I don't know of any other games coming out in the near term which promise those first and foremost.

He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt.

Darque Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 BTW Fable is being ported from the XBOX to PC.

It was bad enough on the Xbox (I know, I own it) why make it even worse and port it to PC? *shudders* Bugs? Klingon Software does not have 'Bugs'. It has FEATURES and they are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand! HK-47: "Recitation: First, weapon selection is critical. If I see one more idiot attacking a Jedi with a blaster pistol, then I'll kill them myself." HK-47: "Answer: Select grenades, sonic screamers, cluster rockets and plasma charges. Mines are also effective, since many Jedi will run to meet you in hand to hand combat. Silly Jedi." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even Xbox, but MS is evil, so I tend to favour GC. I'd tend towards PC I guess, barring special circumstances, as I can as easily play a game sitting on my couch, on my TV, using a gamepad via my PC's TV-out and a long USB cable as I can via my GC, which generally defeats the purpose of buying a console version. But occassionally, a game seems to be most perfectly realised in a console version. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
