Slowtrain Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Death to Top X lists! But...but....but they are so fascinating. Oh wait, no they're not. OK, you win. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Musopticon? Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Syberia should be there somewhere, perhaps two times even, you know. 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.

Nightshape Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Dead Rising** ** New Contender! Beat out Midwinter 2: Flames of Freedom, because as much as I loved that game back in the day it's completely unplayable now. I'd argue that past the general Zombie slaying, a grand second to second experience, Dead rising is "completely unplayable". I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat out Midwinter 2: Flames of Freedom, because as much as I loved that game back in the day it's completely unplayable now. I'd argue that past the general Zombie slaying, a grand second to second experience, Dead rising is "completely unplayable". lol. It's one thing to argue against design aspects/complain you personally don't like parts of the game, but to claim it's completely unplayable, well that's just false. Of course, by putting completely unplayable in inverted commas I guess you don't mean you think it's literally completely unplayable, but not being a mind reader I can't possibly know what your problem with the game is. While zombie killing is all well and good, that's not really the point of the game. Zombies are merely an obstacle, not the real enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMichael Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 My top ten of the night. System Shock 2 Master of Orion 2 Fallout 2 Knights of the Old Republic 2 Privateer 2 X-Com 2 Ultima 2 Wing Commander 2 Civilization 2 X2: The Threat I really like the number 2. ... Or not. Though there are still a lot of 2s in the real list. System Shock 2 Master of Orion 2 Fallout 2 Knights of the Old Republic 2 Privateer X-Com: UFO Defense Ultima 6 Ultima 7 Parts 1 & 2 Wing Commander 3 Civilization 4 Going over ten, I'd have to add X3: Reunion, Freelancer, and probably a dozen other games that just aren't coming to mind right now. I'm going to need better directions than "the secret lair." -==(UDIC)==- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorfean Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) In no particular order... Except alphabetically 'cos I'm compulsive like that. Baldur's Gate with Tales of the Sword Coast Baldur's Gate II with Throne of Bhaal Chrono Trigger Dragon Age: Origins Icewind Dale with Heart of Winter & Trials of the Luremaster Icewind Dale II Mass Effect Max Payne Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark Portal There are probably more games that deserve to be on that list, and some which I haven't payed that will most likely end up there once I have, but this is it for now Edited November 23, 2009 by Lorfean Shadow Thief of the Obsidian Order My Backloggery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastpunk Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ah, another one of those 'top 10 games' thread. They never get old. So, let's see: Planescape: Torment NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer Icewind Dale + Heart of Winter + Trials of the Luremaster System Shock 2 Thief: The Dark Project Fallout Tomb Raider: Anniversary Need for Speed: Porsche Unreal Tournament 2004 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II PS:T and MotB are a tie for first, the rest are in no particular order.

Lorfean Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just a hunch but you really like RPGs, right? Well, that shouldn't be too much of a surpise on these forums and, in case you hadn't noticed, is true for most people posting here. So... thanks for stating the obvious?

Lorfean Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 It's also obvious that my post was friendly chatter, but you managed to miss that.. Hm. Maybe not as obvious as you might think then, eh? Anyway -- I see you rate VtM: Bloodlines pretty high. I assume you play with the unofficial patch? I haven't followed the project in a while, but noticed they recently released v6.5. How much does it alter/improve the game these days? It's been some time since I played that game, and for a while now, I've been tempted to give it another go.

Oner Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I didn't complete it with the unofficial patch yet (computer gone kaputt, haven't played it since), Chinatown was the last place I visited. There's some extra dialogue and some changed side quests (poster collection for Gary). Didn't notice much else really. Oh yeah, you can choose backgrounds (black ops, infernalist etc) at character creation.

LadyCrimson Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I no longer have top favorite games.
