Meshugger Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 XCOM, Civilization, Fallout and TIE Fighter. Pretty good top5 after all.

Oerwinde Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Meh, quite disappointing list. :sad: I just checked out the PS2 one... also disappointing. FFXII is better than FFX, yet FFX is on the list, Suikoden V is better than Suikoden III, but Suikoden III is on the list. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Xard Posted March 17, 2007 Author Posted March 17, 2007 Civilization IV is best of the series. Hardly. It was UNPLAYABLE on my computer (which was close to recommended specs) upon release. It was BUGGY AS HELL. And finally, it didn't make me skip school, work, food, water, and other basic needs for days and nights - which Civ II did in its time. I got bored with Civ IV after two weeks and haven't played it since. Buggy? It wasn't terribly buggy IMHO although I never played unpatched game. And maybe you're just older and more "experienced" player. Longer you play games more harder it is to get hooked (in that scope) again. Sad really. From objective point of view Civ 4 is best. It has more improvements you can count, its UI is extremely good and yet it sustains its...well, "civ" feeling. I could as well quote their synopsis since I totally agree with it. 2) Civilization IVDeveloper: Firaxis Publisher: 2K Games Year Released: 2005 Synopsis: One of the Civilization games was absolutely going to be in the top 5 in this list, it was just a matter of which one we chose to occupy the spot. For years, it was largely understood that Civilization II was the best in the series offering up complex strategy in a palatable and even graceful format. Some out there would probably still argue that it's the best of the bunch, but we decided the latest went above and beyond that great title with more improvements than can be counted. From the revamped damage system to the diplomatic improvements and inclusion of religion, Civilization IV provides the most addictive 4X experience on the market. Even worse for those of us incapable of quitting to desktop is the inclusion of a very workable multiplayer solution. Turn-based strategy has never been easy this way, but Firaxis managed to make it easy, make saves work, and make it easily as much fun as the single player if not more so. Civilization IV is a brilliant game. Of course, there isn't such thing as bad civilization Other lists were even more... disappointing How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
Sand Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Leonard Nimoy going "Beep" is what made the game for me. "Beep... beep... beep..."

I got bored with Civ IV after two weeks and haven't played it since. Perhaps you have grown up? Anyway, I too think that Civ IV is the best of series. It offers much more than Civ II. As for bugs, I can recall some minor ones, but they were eliminated with patches.

FFXII is better than FFX, yet FFX is on the list, Suikoden V is better than Suikoden III, but Suikoden III is on the list. Suikoden III is considered by many to be the second worst game of the series. II and V being the best. I'd comment on FFX, but I appear to be often in the minority in expressing just how bad the story in that game was. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Big Bottom Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Civilization IV is best of the series. Hardly. It was UNPLAYABLE on my computer (which was close to recommended specs) upon release.

I got bored with Civ IV after two weeks and haven't played it since. Perhaps you have grown up? I think this accounts for a lot of the complaints about 'the old days', I certainly don't enjoy games as much as I used to but I don't expect to either. The real test is what Civ 4 does to the new blood of gamers. Edited March 17, 2007 by Big Bottom The best flash game ever!
Tale Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 I enjoyed Civ IV a lot. However, I'm starting to prefer Calactic Civ II. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Kaftan Barlast Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 I love Civ4 and I think its worthy of its place, I didnt experience any problems playing it on my laptop. However, RTW is my favorite strategy game of all time.

Suikoden IV was just bad. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Tale Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 I misread your comment, apparently. I thought you were making an issue that Suikoden V was on the list, when it wasn't. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Bokishi Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Karzack alt pls STFU Karzak would be insulted... if he were still here. But I bet he got tired of baiting fools like you long ago. Haha you sound so old school, miss u karzak Current 3DMark
Dark_Raven Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 You no lifers, two pages since I last posted last night. Whats so great about the Civ games? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
karka Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Also, Max Payne and Mafia should have been on that list. Especially, Mafia. Edited March 18, 2007 by karka
Volourn Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Any list without NWN is full of lies. Sorry. It's the truth. Period. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Hurlshort Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Hmm, I played "X-COM: UFO Defense" some time in the distant past and I remember it being unbearably boring... Did you notice that not a single soul on this board has debated having Xcom as number 1 on the list? I mean, you would think that the number one spot would be the most controversial. But it's not, it's just common sense that Xcom is there. I would reconsider your purpose in life, if I were you.

I only played it about a year ago and I didn't get very far, but I hated those night missions more than anything else in any game I have played.
Llyranor Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 No one debates Xcom's position. NO ONE (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Calax Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I never did like Xcom... Half Life 1 was SOOO Much better. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Bokishi Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 X-Com is teh boring. I didn't play UFO defense, but I played Apocalypse. Current 3DMark
Pop Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I would have put Oregon Trail up there on top. Nothing like slaughtering dozens of animals and just taking one of the buffalo back to camp. It was the only thing remotely resembling fun that you could do in school. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

I didn't mention it as I don't give a crap about it. It's likely # 1millionth on my list of games to play. I'd rather Barbier than that. R00fles!

Zoma Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 X-COM ftw. IGN actually didn't put Oblivion as no.1 but rather a classic game, respect earned. But to put Oblivion amongsts the top 25, respect lost too.
