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.

Enoch Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Whenever I sit down to write one of these, Torment, Fallout, and a smattering of Civ games are the only real constants. I'm also struck by the population of games out there that other people think are the BEST EVAR that I have never played. Some of this is genre-based (my current experience trying BioShock out has reminded me once again why I don't enjoy shooters not named "Portal"), and some of it is based on certain gaps in my awareness of the overall gaming community (Lucasarts made adventure games?!* Deus Ex isn't a pure shooter?! Who knew!) I also get to thinking about some of the old games I used to play and how I would totally not enjoy them anymore. My tolerance for the grind has gone way down (I'm looking at you, Might & Magics 3-5, Icewind Dale, BG1, et al.); whenever a game starts getting the slightest bit repetitive these days, I start thinking that the game is wasting my time and the Devs should've cut more stuff. (One of the things I love about Portal is its brevity.) I really admire the heck out of what Obsidian has done with Mask of the Betrayer, but once the essential mystery was revealed at the beginning of Act III, I lost my motivation to keep grinding through boring epic-cheese D20 combat and stopped playing. Anyhow, here's a list. It's in a rough order of preference, but I reserve the right to monkey with it. PS:T Fallout Civ IV Alpha Centauri Fallout 2 Railroad Tycoon The Fool's Errand Portal Quest for Glory I BG 2 * (Lucasarts story not entirely true. I tried to play at least 1 of the Monkey Island games as well as IJ: Fate of Atlantis on a relative's PC, but got stuck on something ridiculously early in both games and gave up. Since I hadn't shelled out the cash for them, and this was before solutions were readily available on the internet, I never bothered trying them again.)

Hurlshort Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I also enjoy how you can tell how old a person is based on the games they put in their list. For example, thepixiesrock is clearly about 6 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepixiesrock Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I also enjoy how you can tell how old a person is based on the games they put in their list. For example, thepixiesrock is clearly about 6 years old. No way man, if I was six I'd have put Leaf Green, Fire Red, and Diamond on the list. Actually, the only reason Diamond isn't on the list is bbecause me and my friends got too competative with it, and we all used Action Replay to hack our games and give us pokemon with max IV's and already EV trained, and sweet movesets. I mean, the pokemon are legit in that you can get pokemon that good, you would just need ridiculous luck and a ton of time. I mean, YOU're six years old!

Amentep Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 What are your favorite top ten games of all time? hmmm, no way I could ever get a true list like that; changes too much. So ten I really liked (and played a whole lot): Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Planescape: Torment Dragon Force Phantasie M.U.L.E. Arcus Odyssey Final Fantasy VI/III Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne Katamari Damacy Shining Force II I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 PhantasieM.U.L.E. A reminder that EA once released a lot of different game genres... *reminiscenses (sp?) the days of "Seven Cities of Gold", "Hard hat Mack", "Archon" & "Racing Destruction Set"* I think I could use a remake of "Racing Destruction Set" :sad: “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I remember Phantasie and M.U.L.E. as well. Great games. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moatilliatta Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) In no particular order: Metal Gear Solid Deus Ex Caesar III Simcity 3000 Dawn of War Portal Jagged Alliance 2 Baldurs Gate 2 (Honorable mention to 1 since it introduced me to CRPG gaming) Europa Universalis 2 (3 is better but I've played this one a lot) Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven Fallout 2 Imperialism 2 The elder scrolls III: morrowind Starcraft Jazz jackrabbit 2 Unreal Tournament Alpha Centauri Legend (SNES game) Heroes of Might and Magic III Yeas I realize that there are too many games here, but I couldn't do something like a top ten without it being random and mood-based. I guess Diablo 2 deserves an honorable mention for best co-op gamplay since the dawn of time (legend). Also Gothic 2. And No one lives forver. Edit: Totally forgot about Outlaws.

Bos_hybrid Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Invisible War!? WHAT!? Yes in know it gets a lot of hating, but I just like it. Not as good as the first one, but still better then 99% of other shooters (IMO). Despite being very, very, very easy. In fact the only FPS I've got through more is..... Dues Ex.

Xard Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm one of those people who consider Deus Ex as RPG instead of FPS and in RPG department DX:IW failed propably even more than in other areas 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
