Re: Your five Favorite Games

Oh here goes.

1. Baldur's Gate series - no comment needed, the best gaming experience I ever had.

2. Final Fantasy (X but I loved VII and VIII and well almost all of em) - I played it with a couple of friends. Yes throughout the whole game. We cried in silence in the end. I'm not ashamed.

3. Devil may cry 3 - Pwnage, the best fighting experience you can get out of a game as a whole. With the music and the movies and coolness. Every other game like this misses a little something.

4. Silent Hill series - Best horror I've ever played. It's creepy it's shocking, it has the most messed up plot if you followed it through all the games. A legend. Didn't play the last one, it seemed to be crap though, thanks a lot America.

5. Metal Gear series - there are several games I could put here, but Snake is just so epic, and the game is just great at portraying its atmosphere and story, with lots of cool characters and a sense of intimacy with Snake you get while you crawl around enemies, struggle for your life and try and save the world at the same time, completely alone like that.

Re: Your five Favorite Games

It's too difficult to rank them. There is too much good memories in a kid's life. Just in time order. Anyway, Dave Mirra BMX would be #1 ! It's the best ! Awesome game.

- Pokemon Blue (Game Boy)
- Dave Mirra BMX (Dreamcast)
- Golden Sun 2 (Game Boy Advance)
- Star Wars Battlefront 2 (PS2)
- Mario Kart Double Dash (Game Cube)

Re: Your five Favorite Games

1 - Devil May Cry (series) - I haven't played DMC2 and I hear all the negative comments it gets, but I eventually plan to get it anyway just to see for myself if I'd like it or not. (I have my moments where I can be simple/narrow-minded lol) But yeah, between this and Ninja Gaiden, I always come back these games. To be more specific, Devil May Cry 3 & 4. Sure DMC1 opened the doors, but when you are introduced to more combat skills it's kind of hard to go back to the 1st. The cutscenes really grabbed me here because of the fighting visuals. Watching Dante show off has never been disappointing.

2 - Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) - Till this day I still consider this to be the best hack n slasher out there. The difficulty was just right, and the controls felt great. There was not one enemy that felt overly cheap, although I did hate fighting the tanks and helicopter. Outside of those 2 fights and the lousy camera, that don't really start getting buggy till near the end of the game, I had no issues with the game. It's a shame that none of the items carried over to a new game. I would've loved to clock some of the earlier boss fights with Cloud's sword ^_^. That's something that Ninja Gaiden 2 got right.

3 - Metal Gear Solid (series) - Took me a long time to figure out the story and whatnot, and I still need to play MGS1 and MGS4 (first game I'll be getting on the PS3 when I get it) but I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with MGS2 and 3. (although I should note that I despise MGS2 now because I actually beat the game on normal and didn't get anything for my efforts lol) The characters are great, and the gameplay, while it can be simplistic, I still had fun with it... Though, what I saw in MGS4, I wish some of it would've been thought up in some of the earlier releases. Seriously, I'd love to shoot people while laying on my back. Certainly would've been more helpful. Anyway, people seem to complain how much milking Kojima does with this game (yet they have no problems with Nintendo's top dog milking Mario, Metroid, and Zelda.... ), and I say if it sells continue making it. I'm a potential buyer.

4 - Shenmue (series) - I love both 1 & 2, but I do think 1 dominates. The story of martial arts is always a fascinating story to me. (As well as samurai) There are times where I can't stand Ryo (mainly in 2), but he's a great character. I like how Yu Suzuki mixed in the Virtua Fighter characters styles into this as well. It's a shame that no one wants to kiss and make-up so we can get Shenmue 3. Get off your high-horses people. Give us fans what we want. I need a working Dreamcast so I can play Shenmue 1 again.

5 - God of War (series) - While I haven't played God of War 3 nor Chains of Olympus (sp?) I do enjoy the way the game plays. I wish the creators of Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry took a page from the creators here with the camera. Not being able to control the camera was an iffy thought at first, but it places you in great positions so you won't have to worry about being blind-sided or anything. (Man I can see how epic DMC and NG would be with GoW's camera) I didn't care much for its story though. I'm just no fan of greek mythology, but it do tell a good story, I will admit that. Voice acting is also great... (I had no idea Kyle Barker was voicing him)


Other notables
Dragon Quest 8
Final Fantasy 8
Chrono Trigger
Street Fighter/vs (series)

As you can see I'm pretty much an action kind of guy. Hack n Slashers are usually what you'll find me playing over other genres (Unless more games like Shenmue were released). I'll dive into RPG's here and there but being in school really don't allow me the luxury of playing those games. I used to be heavy into fighters, but I've long since lost that competitive edge I had and I eventually started losing interest in the fighting genre. But the Street Fighter (as well as Guilty Gear) games will always be a game I'll come back to play.

Legendary games!!!

This thread is to discuss and share your thoughts on those very special games from "way back in the day" that have now become, arguably, a classic and can be considered legendary now. It doesn't matter what platform or year as long as you have a reason to believe it is a classic game.

Classic video gaming consoles such as the Commodore 64 and the likes can also be discussed in this thread. I hope this becomes an active discussion thread as there are plenty of cool games that were made back in the 80's and early 90's that can never be replaced (but forever cherished ) nowadays with the current gaming releases.

3. Need for Speed: Most Wanted
4. World of Warcraft (I stopped playing it over a year ago though)
5. Hm... dunno... CoD maybe... or Anno 1404, or DMC3, Mirror's Edge, UT2003/04, Day of Defeat, Disciples 2 - Well, can't decide.

It's pretty much an all-time list.

Re: Legendary games!!!

For me, classics go back in the Nintendo and PS1 games:

Nintendo: Super Mario: Yoshi's World and Super Mario 4.
PS1: Who would ever forget the Legends and the Final Fantasy epics?
The Legend of Dragoon (Cool additions and dragoons)
The Legend of Legaia (Right-Left-Right, Seru, Ra-Seru, the only game which sees the WHOLE equipments of the players)
Final Fantasy 7 (perhaps the BEST among all FF's)
Final Fantasy 8 (very good graphics, but 7 was WAY better)
Final Fantasy 9 (err... 7 and 8 over 9)
Final Fantasy 10 (this is already ps2 but the story line was also epic!)
Wild Arms (I kind of liked the PS2 version of Wild Arms: Alter Code F)

I can't believe that I am the first one to reply on this thread! This thread makes me reminisce the good ol' days.

Re: Legendary games!!!

For me a Legendary game would have to be one of legends, lol there for my top choice is:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This game is just great, can play it over and over again. Back in the days a just finish it and start it again ASAP. I finish it like 18 times hehe
I dont know if you count PC games but i would have to say Age Of Empires II: The conquerors expansion is great. Its over a decade old and i still play it. Great multi player campaigns that can go for hours.

Re: Legendary games!!!

^For me that goes for almost any 3d zelda game lol. Can't wait for zelda wii lol.

Re: Legendary games!!!

My understanding of classic games is perhaps not even that old yet:
-Diablo 1 (1997)
-Starcraft 1 (1998) (+ Broodwar addon)
-Half-Life (1998)
-Quake (1996)
-Warcraft/Warcraft 2 (1994/1995)

All of these branches are still super popular games these days: All have continuations, but are so popular that even these super old games themselves have a lot of players. Especially Starcraft:Broodwar, which was one of the most popular games until Starcraft 2 was released and is well known for the hype around it in South Korea.
Quake was most popular as Quake 3: Arena (1999), which now is a free to play browsergame which is exactly Quake 3 actually, just with modern options and user surface to make it easier to have good game settings and to find servers. And the popular Unreal Tournament series is unarguably a Quake ripoff, it's so incredibly similar - most weapons work the exact same way and only have different names.

Half-Life is most popular as the mod Counter-Strike (it seems that some people don't even know anymore, but CS is only a modification of Half Life) as well as still beeing played in death match mode and beeing succeeded by Half Life 2.
Warcraft 2 is still beeing played and was succeeded by Warcraft 3, which was one of the biggest eSports games until Starcraft 2 was released.

Re: Legendary games!!!

Diablo 2 is my one and only legendary game . sorry i can not make a list since im not really a gamer but i still play D2 even at this time and i'll prolly keep playing it until 3 comes out

 

[Roflkopt3r]

Re: Legendary games!!!

Yeah Diablo 2 is still unsurpassed as a action rpg

About SC:Broodwar: The south koreans are still able to freak out about it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msSvZPZXwJU

As all of these games (exept for Diablo) also are esports legends, they produced their legendary players as well. Especially Starcraft has very famous players (SlayerS_Boxer, Nada, Nal_Ra and many more - all Korean), but also Warcraft 3 (Grubby from NL), Quake (Fatal1ty from the US, he was also best player for some other similar first person shooters) and Counter-Strike, which has so many legendary players that it would take a long time to list all of them (still, the today most reknown one certainly is HeatoN from Sweden - most famous CS pros are from scandinavia)

Re: Legendary games!!!

Rofly has already stated some of the classics I would give the nod too. Quake was one of my favourite games on the old' Sega system. I couldn't let my parents see me playing it. I was only 6/7 years old at the time muhahaha.

I would also say Duke Nukem, Super Mario Bros. (on the old G1 Gameboy), Out Run and Tetris lol are worthy mentions. Who remembers Flimbo's Quest!?
