You guys should suggest thigns and I'll either buzz them, or ding them.
Buzz being bad, ding being good. I can't be bothered to write a list.

Suddenly I think I understand why you don't like Fallout 3.
Posted 4 years ago # -
Why?
EDIT: Yeah still don't get it, lol.
PC Fanboy, Depth, like strategy, I don't know.
Posted 4 years ago # -
Yeah, I was using PC games as exmaples.
Just kidn of startign from my earliest experiences with gaming.
So Sims and Sim City get a ding as some of the most useful games in history, in terms of tranforming non-gamers into gamers.

damn it, that Blerk guy already 's stolen my reply :(

Well I am not a normal PC fanboy, I don't like depth over fun.
I like them togther. Which is what makes a great game.
I like good games, and Fallout 3 is not one.

a bit a different topic, but I'm actually lost why you deemed Uncharted a "great" game. it was you whom I argued with about it, wasn't it?
Posted 4 years ago # -
Yeah.
As I said, It's not just PC games I think are great. I said I intentionally chose that. On the PS2 I had tons of mainstream games you could think of and enjoyed them.
I am not averse to non-depthy PC games, but some games are synonymous with the depth of PC games.
Uncharted is excellent, superb charcterisation, and storytelling. Very fun to play, as I have said many times, kind of the exact opposite of Gears in context of a third person shooter.
It's light, darty and fast. And it's bright and colourful. And my favoruite thing is how they mix the game up. I didn't like the zombies, purely due to concept. The way it mixed up the gameplay was awesome however.
I actually hated the platforming becuase of the visual feedback, and hope Uncharted 2 will improve on it.

well, okay I was just trying to say your Fallout er, review is completely an opinion.
Posted 4 years ago # -
It wasn't a review, it WAS an opinion.
My point was that it was much less based on those personal vendetta's, becuase it's not a series I cared for, and it's a lot more faithful than I could have hoped.
What I was saying is that the game is only a marvel becuase of quantity. Nothing feels refined, or great about it. It's just an experience, due to the options that you have.

Slightly different point of view... I went into F3 expecting to hate it, and to be honest I'd been trolling it for months and ranting about how they'd dumbed it down for console fans.
I was utterly wrong. Fantastic game.

Okay new games added:
SP: Chaos Theory
Infamous (soundtrack confirms it's status)Posted 4 years ago # -
Duffking, seeing that you mentioned Descent, there was a futuristic arcade flying PC game around that time, where the camera angle was behind the Fighter jet. Very techno-ish soundtrack and boss battles at the end of each level. And there was a cheat code where you just had to type in TOMATOES and you'll get weapon upgrades.
I can't for the world remember the name of that game, and i want to go back and beat it. It was pre-1998 I believe.Posted 4 years ago # -
SimCity 2000? (everything after 3000 can be ignored...)
Okami?Posted 4 years ago # -
Metal Gear Solid 3?
Posted 4 years ago # -
No idea Brennan. Games that spring to mind that I've played but probably not correct are Forsaken, Incoming, Terminal Velocity and G-Police. None of those seem right though.
Posted 4 years ago # -
Sim City 2000 was superb, but so was Sim City 4, I love the micromanaging just as much as not.
Okami, nah, not a fan. Good platformer, and I have recently had my view chnaged on it. I think I am way to quick to say what is arta nd what is not, it's all art if it makes you think. But this was just entertainment, with a nice art direction. Nothing wrong with that.
Metal Gear Solid 3, nowhere near as much of a work of insanity/genius as MGS2, and nowhere near as special in that regard, but still a superb game, and I'd prefer play MGS3 any day.

By the way, worries me that I am ego-centric enough to keep this thread alive.
Don't judge me xD

Your view on the two games I mentioned earned you some bonus points. :)

I caved in and bought Descent. It's still great.
