[brad.dude03]

Half Life 1 and Counterstrike?!! How could you not like them?

 

[skrab]

I don't really hate them but I'm BIG COD2 fun. I like old weapons and stuff
All my friends play CS and they don't have time to play COD with me so i hate the CS
Any time i play CS with them i lose . But i OWN in COD

 

[brad.dude03]

All my friends are COD fans and I can't be arsed with it at all, modern weapons only plox, forget WWII.

 

[Gauntlet2021]

For favourites:
WC3
Starcraft
Diablo 1 and 2
The Darkness (awesome game, great ending)
Halo
Otogi: Myth of Demons

Worst Games:
Serious Sam 2 (Not too bad, but dropped way too much that made the original good; the only console game I got refunded)
Fusion Frenzy 2
>>Runescape<<
Tenchu Senran (Again, I didnt mind this game. But the clearly slack production was rediculous)
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos

I'm sure I'm missing something...

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Screw modern and past time weapons. The awesomeness lies within futuristic weapons.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, well that's what I meant. Modern weapons and up, that's it. Though of course futuristic weapons are the best, and usually the most fun, for example Unreal 3

 

[monchopim]

best:

halo series.
naruto series.
wacraft 3.
counter strike 1.6 .
stepmania.
TES 4 oblivion.
Half-life (all).
mario games.
Crash Bandicoot (all).

hateD:

any cartoon (not anime) game...
NFL games.
Basketball games.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Two good horror games:
Fatal Frame series (Scary as hell)
FEAR (Fucking Badass)

 

[brad.dude03]

FEAR is pretty scary too. I mean, at least Alma is anyway.

But Monchopim, i've never in my life played a good game based on a anime series... they all blow.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Ace combat 6 still pwns.

 

[Kwaliti]

Damn, I need to try WWE: Smackdown! vs. Raw '08, people say it's awesome.

 

[Gilles]

It better have good fighting! I didn't care for the fighting in the old ones, but the customization in those games was insane! Making characters was more fun!

 

[Gauntlet2021]

It's like Half Life 1, except better in every single way and more. You're missing out on the biggest thing in PC gaming. Plus the Episodes, oh the episodes, they're also full of further amounts of awesome.

I'd disagree. HL2 is a bloody awesome game, along with the episodes, but I wouldn't say its better in every way to the original. From what I played of it, the First had a kind of horror touch to it which I believe HL2 is lacking... HL2 has a much too different feel to HL1 to be compared. (IMO)

BTW: I forget, can you get cans out of vending machines in HL2?

 

[brad.dude03]

Yes, you can.

And the horror is all there. You put one foot into Ravenholme and you're freaking out, and nothing's even shown up yet, it's just the atmosphere they create.

 

[Monopoly_Party]

To me, The best game is Assassins Creed =)
Next to it is probably Counterstrike source, simcity 4, Warcraft 3 frozen throne, Diablo 2, Need for speed prostreet, Need for speed underground 1 & 2, Final fantasy X & X-2, Starcraft and Unreal tournament.

Games i really dont like are:
Tekken 5 - Annoying game my memory kept getting corrupted.
Sonic Heroes - Annoying game got too hard.
Transformers - Got to a point where u had to kill 2 transformers very hard.
Halo - Dont know why, but i dont like it. Its maybe cause i tried to kill these aliens in the first one and i died.
Dragonball Z - Dont really like it, graphics are horrible to me
Naruto games - Annoying same reason for dragonball Z

 

[Kwaliti]

You don't like those games because they are hard? Pfft, and you call yourself a gamer? xD

 

[Monopoly_Party]

Well the games that i dont like are actually hard and i also dont like them cause their boring as well.
Like im more of the adventure, fighting gaming type of person where you have to think to win.

 

[brad.dude03]

Halo isn't hard. At all.

 

[<Offspring>]

Worst:
ANY GAME THATS BASED ON A MOVIE

 

[Kwaliti]

Indeed, you're right. But movies off games? Well, that's a failure too (just hope that Prince of Persia and Warcraft movie go well!)

 

[brad.dude03]

No. It works both ways. Every game based off a movie (but not a movie franchise, as Star Wars proves you wrong), and every movie based off a game have both failed horribly. Every single one of them.

 

[Renzo]

No. It works both ways. Every game based off a movie (but not a movie franchise, as Star Wars proves you wrong), and every movie based off a game have both failed horribly. Every single one of them.

Resident Evil?, I loved the game, shooting mindless zombies and it was jumpy at times, Movie wasn't too bad.

I have to agree that those games based off a movie/anime or vice versa are usually pretty bad. (Has anyone watched DOA aka. Dead or Alive? that movie was so stupid, but the game was awesome)

 

[brad.dude03]

Resident Evil was abso-fucking-lutely terrible. Horrible movie. Great game, shit-poor movie.

 

[<Offspring>]

No. It works both ways. Every game based off a movie (but not a movie franchise, as Star Wars proves you wrong), and every movie based off a game have both failed horribly. Every single one of them.

short and sweet:
movies based on games = FAILURE

 

[Just_Spectating]

too bad i said that already a while back..

 

[DaedraEater]

Okay I may be a bit late but:
Best:
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC version is better 'cuz of mods)
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Not sure, only played it on 360 at a friends house)
Warcraft III
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (to me the Sith Lords was good but didn't live up to the first one)
Age of Empires II (my first game ever, shame I had to uninstall it, yet I still keep it)
Starcraft, Warcraft II (Introduced to it at my cousins house in 2002 along with Warcraft II, amazed)
The Simpsons Hit & Run (hilarious!)

Worst: Don't keep a habit of remembering them...

I'll think of some more for sure...

 

[Just_Spectating]

[offtopic] im seeing alot of Elenai Avatars that he makes for people these days [/offtopic]

you know what. the best game of the year every year should be


MEAN BEAN MACHINE!!!

 

[HolyRider]

BEST:
DOOM 1,2 [pc]
BLACK [ps2]
Scarface [ps2]
The Godfather [ps2]
WarCraft III [pc]

WORST:
Halo... (sry, but i hate those)
basicly all "Colin McRae" games
Need For Speed (underground, mostwanted and carbon) (not sure about Pro street)

 

[brad.dude03]

Pro Street is a good game, but I must protest Halo being on the WORST list.

Listen, you may not like Halo, for whatever your childish reasons, but that doesn't make it a bad game. Personal preference does not dictate whether a game is good or bad, it dictates whether you like the game or not.

Same goes for Need for Speed. I loved Underground 2. The rest were poorly made though, so you were right.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Listen, you may not like Halo, for whatever your childish reasons, but that doesn't make it a bad game. Personal preference does not dictate whether a game is good or bad, it dictates whether you like the game or not.

"Whether a game is good or bad" is completely based on opinion. Personal preference has everything to do with it.

On the topic of Halo, I like it, but I've seen better. It's way overrated, and its storyline could most definitely use some work (but no one really cares about the storyline, do they?)

 

[brad.dude03]

But this list has nothing to do worth personal opinion. This is a thread for lists of games that are good or bad based on the technical aspects of the game, not personal opinion. It's from an analytical point of view.

I could say that I hate Metroid because it's a piece of shit and I just don't like it.

That deoesn't mean it's a bad game, it just means that I don't like it. It's my opinion, and it has nothing to do with this thread.

If he has to say that he didn't like Halo because he felt that the story didn't develope the characters enough, because the graphics were shoddy, and because the AI was dumb as hell, well then fine. That's looking at the game from a critical point of view, not a biased opinionated point of view.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Bad plot? Halo has a great plot imo, and if you have xbl, it will be an active game for you for a long while. and its basicly the most modable xbox game there is (the forge, ive seen a "Pac-Man" game that works great and is great fun XD)

 

[brad.dude03]

All of the Xbox Halo games have been as modable as the PC ones if you know how. We didn't need the forge back in the day.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Two good horror games:
Fatal Frame series (Scary as hell)
FEAR (Fucking Badass)

Oh god, add Condemned to that, freaky as fucking hell!

Oh and for god's sake, the worst crap is like:

Shrek on the GC
Viva Piniata, I was forced to play that and you'd think you're tripping like mad
I hate Halo 1 compared to 2 and 3, except I didn't appreciate the easiness of Halo 3
I've started to hate the multiplayer version of CoD4, it's lost all of it's tactics, it's turned into CS:S, run around being trigger happy.
CS:S the same reason that it's mainly PLAY TRIGGER HAPPY
I hate the new Castlevania game for the PSP, it's just lame as hell.

As you can see I prefer games where you need a tactic, not to be trigger happy.

 

[brad.dude03]

Source is tactics? If you run around shooting at everything in CS:SA you'll just get owned in the face, to play in a real match (we're not talking DM here) it's all strategy. Talk to GST_Nemesis, he plays pro, and he shows me all of these crazy strategies. It's definetly not a trigger happy game.

And you've got your priorities wrong dude. Halo 1 was the Magnum Opus of Bungie.

Multiplayer CoD4 is interesting... still wont draw me away from Unreal 3 though. Now THERE'S a game with strategy. It's so friggen fast that running-and-gunning wont do you ANY good at all, you need to know what your doing or you'll get raped.

 

[Zaeden]

<3 CoD4.
I remember the first day I got the game and played it, I got pumped in the chest with a Golden Shotgun.
Was all good though

 

[Kwaliti]

COD4 is out and they're making COD5 already.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Well, they need the money...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Over G fighters just rocketed to the top of my list like a crashing jet.

 

[Perry_]

No legend of Zelda? 0_o
Favorite:
-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
-Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (know one else would agree but I adored this game)
-Warcraft 3
-Super Smash Bros 64
-Super Smash Bros Melee
-Sonic Adventure 2
-Call of Duty 3 (yet to play 4)
-Banjo-Kazooie series
-Conker's Bad Fur Day
Hated Games
-Halo 2 (rest of the series isn't any good but this was SO BAD)
-Fable (It was getting good then just went downhill)
-The Simpson's Game
-Random Baseball game on the N64
-Gex 64

 

[brad.dude03]

Gex 64 was a fun game, come on now

And I thought Fable was good, why don't you like it?

Halo 2 wasn't bad but compared to the rest it certainly wasn't on the same level.

And Call of Duty 3 is actually the worst CoD game ever made.

 

[Perry_]

Never played any other CoD so it looks like I have something to look forward to.
Fable had some good ideas but these are some reasons why i didn't like it
-ridiculous loading screens, though not as bad as Sonic 06, its in the same boat. If they wanted a loading screen for the full Greatwood for example it wouldnt be that bad but you have to load lots of very small maps wherever you go and it gets to the point where the action dies a bit as you often have to wait for a loading screen.
-Story structure, because you can choose your path you should be able to massively change the story but through the whole game choosing between two choices has no real consequences or changes the overall story. Choosing your own path is a big part of the game and in the end it doesn't matter what you've done everything is virtually the same of both sides.
-You should be able to repeat the arena for gold but even after you complete it you cant even go inside
-The acting in the game is good but your heroes expressions during conversations are worse than Link's grunts and the actress that pays your sister makes everything over dramatic.
-No free exploration, invisible walls everywhere really ruins the experience.
-The Ending is less than 2 minutes long and really doesn't tie up all the loss ends
There are another few minor things that don't make the game very fun but those are the main

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is like a massively ownage Fable.

 

[brad.dude03]

Escept Fable is very specifically a linear RPG, you do the quests, in that order, furthering the story, until the game ends.

Oblivion is non-linear, you just get thrust into this massive world and do stuff. That's the primary reason I don't like it, linear-style RPG's may have less freedom, but they always tell a compelling story, a world like Oblivion is far too large to be linear or tell a decent story, with character interaction and such because it's so massive, and it's so open-ended that it's impossible to tie every choice you make into an understandable plot.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

If you follow the main questline then it tells a story...

 

[brad.dude03]

It does, but it's not linear, like in Fable, in order to progress the game and to get to new parts of the world, you have to follow the story quests, doing the side quests exactly like that: on the side.

With Oblivion, the whole world is wide open for you to explore almost immediately. It's a good thing and a bad thing.
