Gromnir Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 as bad as kotor2 were at times, we do not thinks it gets 'nuff credit for what it did well. not long development time, but chrisA gave us kreia and her view of the force that were more complex and compelling than any we seen in a star wars game or movie (and as we ain't never read one of the books or comics...) we got jedi who, w/o being dark, were unscrupulous and less than honorable... though they were doing so for greater good. in other words, we had some jedi that were actually human for a change. atone/atton and scion/sion is the kinda names for characters that one would maybe expect from a harry potter book, but with some notable exceptions, the joinable npcs and main villains had stories that were, if not always compelling, then at least they were intriguing. in point of fact, the combat and stories of kotor2 were usually better than those of kotor. unfortunately, the quests that went nowhere and the characters who seemed pointless, and the dialogues that were just gawdawful and the ending that was almost criminal all conspired to makes kotor2 understandably under appreciated. HA! Good Fun!

Calax Posted December 23, 2005 Author Posted December 23, 2005 well I think I should add Tie fighter... The game is practically unknown to the general population because it's so old... only those like us (we rock!) know about it to a greater extent and besides, the game can't be played on a XP platform... I say we beg Lucas arts to bring it back with a vengance. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

ShadySands Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) Mechwarrior 1, Sword of the Samurai, and Big Rig because it managed to capture all the loneliness and boredom of life on the road. Edit: The Guy Game Edited December 23, 2005 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21
Calax Posted December 23, 2005 Author Posted December 23, 2005 ... the guy game... Ooooook... I don't think there was a mechwarrior one. that's generally reffered to as Battletech board game. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
alanschu Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Nope, there was a Mechwarrior 1, released by Activision. One of my favourite games growing up. That's a Jenner vs Shadow Hawk believe it or not.
Hurlshort Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Mechwarrior was huge. It spawned numerous sequels. It's not under-appreciated.

Calax Posted December 23, 2005 Author Posted December 23, 2005 I remember this... it's funny... there was a glitch in mw2 where if you took off all your heatsinks you'd get unlimited weight... only problem was you had to run with coldmieser on.

Plano Skywalker Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 is this open to non-computer games? well, I guess it is now. ** Castle Risk ** great game....think of it as a cross between Risk and Diplomacy. when it comes to light wargames that complete in about 3 hours or less, there is nothing better than Castle Risk. I believe it is out of production but, of course, can still be obtained on eBay.
Musopticon? Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 ^Hardly. It got nothing but praise like with all Nintendo quirks. 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

SteveThaiBinh Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 BLOODLINES Totally unbelievablunderappreciated. Yes, buggy, wasn't it. A very good game, nonetheless. Though In Memoriam had many many flaws, it deserved more credit than it got for an interesting idea and very creepy use of emails from a kidnapper. Brief, but addictive.

Hurlshort Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Sanitarium...best adventure game in a long time.
EUIX Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) Heavy Gear 2, without a doubt. Superb single player campaign, awesome multiplayer, no bugs upon release. It pretty much didn't get any better. Amen to Sanitarium too. Edited December 24, 2005 by EUIX "For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

Nameless One Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Anachronox - first part of a trilogy, but remained the last one until this day (and will be for days to come) - trailer Psychonauts - count the fingers on one of your hands and you have the number of copies sold (+/- 2) The Dig - one of my favorite Adventures, but I think it didn't got big love because of outdated graphics and not-so-monkey-islandish-humour Grim Fandango - best adventure ever; sold some copies, but not THE numbers...helped to create this LucasArts
