thepixiesrock Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 We should have gotten at least 50 attempts out of it without it getting stale. Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Musopticon? Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Not, if it's Fallout 2! Ehmm...I mean...yeah. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

alanschu Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 At least Fallout 2 was a bit more varied. I was never really able to play BG through more than once. I had tried numerous times, but struggled. I was able to play through BG2 three times though.
Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Baldur's Gate has never grown stale to me. Neither has Fallout, Planescape Torment, Ultima 4, and so forth. Games that have gotten stale after a bit were Arcanum, KotOR 1, Morrowind, Indigo Prophecy and the like. There are some games I just get fixated on like Bioware's jade Empire. Played that through lmore than a hundred times. I think that NWN 2 might be my next fixation.
Musopticon? Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Mine was Mafia. Damned awesome game. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

I recall on weekend I would boot up Jade Empire, start a new game, finish it, start a new game, finish it, start a new game... However, the most times I've played a game was Super Mario Bros 3. Took me a looooooooong time to beat that one. Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body

I think that NWN 2 might be my next fixation. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How can you do that? Once I know the story and have played through it for the various different endings, I get bored since I know exactly what's coming and exactly what each character says/does in situations. I loved K1, but I got bored with it after I saw both endings as both male and female, and once I got through with a lot of the mods. Same with K2. And same with BG, BG2, FO, FO2, PS:T, etc. Once I've seen the ending a couple of times I don't see it as fun anymore playing through a game where I know what will happen. I guess I just can't think of ANY game that has a huge difference in variety each time you play through. The good ones have some instances where you can play through different, but none that give me a completely new playing experience after having finished the game 3 or 4 times.

Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Thing is I just don't look at the story aspects. I use different the different character models, different forms, try to make the perfect combination, try to make as many of the multicolored orbs as I can in a single fight. I once got up to 12 oirbs in a single series of fights. not bad in grand master mode.

But I loved KOTOR, and it actually got me back into Star Wars which the prequels (ep 1-2 at the time) totally sucked the life out of starwars. (ep3 was much better) But Even with KOTOR 1 I played it with male and female darkside and lightside endings, but then also I played a few different classes just to see how it changed gameplay, because I had never played an rpg before. But with KOTOR 2 I only played thru 4 times. Edited January 20, 2006 by Lord Satasn

Volourn Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 "There are some games I just get fixated on like Bioware's jade Empire. Played that through lmore than a hundred times." WOWSERS! Seriously, I ahve never played any game outside the silly little games when I wa skid more than times. Even my all time favorites like BG2, FO2, or FF8 I only played 3 times each. Started playing a 4th, and simply got bored. In fact, I have only payed two game frequently after 3 months of buying it. One is NWN (which I ahve completeled the OC 3 times now - 1ce in MP), and the other is MVP Baseball 2005. Other than that, no. The games simply get stale. I could only play and complete either KOTOR once each. WOWSERS!!! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

I am a big Baldurs Gate fan, and I've attempted dozens of play throughs. But most times I give up midway through because I know what's coming.

Plano Skywalker Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I agree with Hades on the replay thing....basically, if I play BG with 5 mages and a thief, that is a much different experience than playing with 2 fighters, a cleric, a thief, a bard, and a mage....TOTALLY DIFFERENT.... same goes for the PC's class, gender and alignment....one of the reasons K2 has decent replay value is there are different convos and even party members depending on how you play. I, of course, think the KOTORs could use more party management (more like BG) but they are moving in the right direction with things like that.
DarkAngle Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Whats Baldurs Gate about? And NeverWinter Nights? I heard they are good, but I want to hear some ravings before I slap good money down for them. (Marine Axiom) Sweat Dries Blood Clots Bones Heal SUCK IT UP!
Musopticon? Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) Good money? What...they're like 10 bucks in the bargain bins, if you can find them. Fantasy crpgs. BG is a team combat rpg and NWN is a single character adventure hack with an awful campaign and awesome mods. Edited January 21, 2006 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

GhostofAnakin Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 And if you're obsessed with graphics (not saying you are, not saying you aren't) then it might take a bit of getting used to to play especially BG.

Musopticon? Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Too true dat. They have decent gameplay and ok stories, but I wouldn't exactly recommend them. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Volourn Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 "NWN is a single character adventure hack with an awful campaign and awesome mods." No. Ok campaign with more as much if not more role-playing than BG2. And, definitely more than BG1. Most mods are not so good, many are good, and a few are great. Also, NWN is not quite a single character. It's a single PC + party just like BG. Of course, in the OC and SOU it's 1 npc. In HOTU, it's two. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Gabrielle Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Why not? I can play one game a few hours, quit and play another for a few hours. It's one way of making it so the game doesn't become stale.
