 Posted: Tue, 21st Jun 2011 21:43 Post subject: Which game, in your opinion is the most... |
|
 |
Here's a quick series of questions. Pick one game per subject, and please explain why you think so:
Which game is, in your opinion the most...
1. ...realistic combat simulator?
2. ...entertaining first person shooter?
3. ...atmospheric?
4. ...innovative compared to other games?
5. ...player demanding (in terms of persona skills)?
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

1. Operation Flashpoint (ory Arma 2), in terms of realism nothing comes closer. Large terrains, support for many players, lots of vehicles, real ballistics, and real damage.
2. The most fun I've ever had in a first person shooter is probably with the MMO, Planetside. The scale of Planetside was amazing, and the large scale fights have yet to be matched. It was an amazing game until SOE decided to listen to all the twelve-year olds and brought in massive mechs and really boring maps (Aftermath).
3. Thief: The Dark project ... I've never been this drawn into a game, ever. Thief set a standard for games in terms of atmosphere with music, dialogue, story and cutscenes.
4. The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall ... when this game came I was completely awestruck, you could truly play as ANYTHING, it really was open-ended and it gave you an idea of what RPG- games might be.
5. EVE-Online ... no other game requires both personal skills, strategic grasp, and tactical ability. Nothing comes close to it, which leads to a lot of people blaming the game for their own lack of ability (classic projection)
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

1. Arma 2, would like to try realism mod for BF2 as well though.
2. For multiplayer - Return to Castle Wolfenstein. For single probably Half Life.
3. Silent Hill. Brrr.
4. Battlefield 1942. First real sandbox game worth mentioning.
5. Ghouls n Ghosts was pretty danm tough I remember correctly.

1. Probably OFP/Arma/Arma2.
2. I'm thinking the Stalker games. Played a lot of decent fps games, but the mix of open gameplay, inventory, interesting locations, artifacts, 'quests', superb atmosphere, etc., just puts it above any of the corridor/railroaded fps games, both new and old.
3. Don't think I can name just one game here. Thief's definitely a good candidate, but so are several others; Stalker, Dune, Alien Legacy, HoM&M, etc., etc.
4. Having trouble with this one too. Not sure I'd agree on Daggerfall; it certainly had tons of (unfinished) features, but most of them had already been done. If they'd actually completed it according to the design documents, then yes, but in its current state I'm less sure. Maybe Homeworld? Or Star Control? Elite? Dune 2?
5. Impossible to say, really.

1. Arma 2, OFP would be a close second.
2. Half life 1 and Opposing Force
3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R SOC
4. Fallout, it advanced writing in RPGs imo.
5. Baldur's Gate 2: TOB, some difficult fights in that.

But then, Codename Eagle, the predecessor, already did all that.

1. Never really played a lot of combat simulators, so can't say.
2. DOOM. Later shooters, in spite of better graphics and fancy physics systems just weren't as much fun.
3. Baldur's Gate II. No game has put me that much inside a world before or since, though there are some close runner-ups.
4. Hard to say, innovation can mean a lot of things. I'll go with Sid Meier's Civilization.
5. In more modern gaming (disqualifying several oldschool or arcade games that were in many ways not designed to be completed by a majority of the players), Ninja Gaiden on the xbox. Very high difficulty level, but never unfairly so. There was always something your character could do to handle a situation if you played him skillfully enough.

1: MW2! you shoots da bullets and da peeplz fall down. seems pretty realistic to me. also that sense of GOD-HOOD and IMMORTALITY that you feel when holding a weapon and taking the lives of foreigners... could be a real-world us-army recruiting video.
nah seriously i dont play games for realism so fucked if i know... maybe jfk reloaded?
2: quake - especially team fortress... back in the time before games needed iron-sight aiming by LAW or some shit, and health-regen was a cold, hard, inescapable FACT of gaming, quake was some of the most fun i ever had fps gaming, and the original tf? fuck yeah.
3: witcher. just oozed atmosphere, i loved it.. though it only JUST wins. i found the atmosphere in fallout 3 - purely because of the level design, the fact its first-person, and just the scope of the game... i mean roaming the wasteland far and away was the best reason to play the game - not the story... yeah fallout 3 i just loved for its atmosphere.
4: innowhat? so we're talking like the 1990s here, right? i spose i could say gears of war, because spending the bulk of an ACTION game fucking HIDING must have been pretty innovative for its time?
5: fuck.. any mmorpg i guess... some battles ive seen between high level players, and from my own experience of getting my ass kicked, having to juggle skills, buffs, know how to use what and when, balancing defense and offense.. that takes a lot of practice - more than i was ever willing to dedicate.

1. I haven't really played one. I just tried the original Flashpoint. Haven't touched any ArmA games though I would like to.
2. Half-life (the first one).
3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.
4. I would say Prey, I really loved that puzzle/portal and physics-bending style which I haven't found in toher games I've played.
5. This would most probably be a RTS game, mostly because I suck at RTS, but I haven't played many of them. But I remember having a hard time beating the first Nija Gaiden (NES). I finished 2 and 3 but I think I never beat 1.

Modern Warfare redefined modern warfare shooters. What was there before? Operation Flashpoint and "realistic" crap like that? Pfft. MW showed that it was possible to make amazing realistic shooters. Black Ops is amazing but it is not as amazing as the first Call of Duty.

FU iNatan that's BS.
BO was definitely the most innovative.
Dragon's Breath shotgun?
Sploding RC car?
Uber Splosive Crossbow?
Come on!

1: Operation Flashpoint
2: Postal 2
3: Morrowind
4: Minecraft
5: As has been mentioned before, this one can rely a lot on an individuals own skills. From my own experiences i would probably say E.V.E Online.

1. Operation Flashpoint
2. NOLF
3. Deus Ex, Grim Fandango, System Shock 2
4. Not sure about this question, probably Portal.
5. Skill in a game hmm, I would probably say good sports games, like 2k11 after one year I am still learning skills, moves and different ways to score and I've been learning from 2k9 so yeah, rookies are gonna be in big trouble.

iNatan & Werelds in The Dynamic Duo of Trolling (TDDoT)
good job the moderators around here aren't as harsh with trolls as they used to be, or half the forum would've been gone

So I state my opinion and I get called a troll... Then you wonder why there are no new members here, or why the few new ones leave after a short while. That Werelds dude is obviously trolling though, because Homefront is SHIT that tried to copy Call of Duty, the most amazing series of shooters.
And Dragon Age 2 is AWESOME! None of that inventory management or having to pause the game to issue commands. What the fuck was that about anyway? What are we, in the 90s with text RPGs? They put that stop and give commands shit to Mass Effect 2 to shut up the pretentious derps. And only like 0.00001% actually used that crap pfft.
