Oh god. Fallout. Another World. Quest for Glory. QfG was one of my absolute favorite game series as a kid. What'd you think of Flashback, Sebo?

 

At the time I can't remember too many games making the impression that Mario 64 left on me.

Deus Ex.

Final Fantasy 7.

VF 2 even though I couldn't play it properly and was the only person I knew that wanted to.

SF Alpha.

Quake because I worked at a company with a LAN and a slack boss when it was released.

Command and Conquer for the same reason as Quake.

Resident Evil 4.

The first 3 levels of Half Life 2.

 

Apart from VF,
Shining Force 3 series
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Guardian Heroes
Naruto Taisen Series

 

Betrayal in Krondor... That was a great game.
Hey Sebo, did you ever play Betrayal in Antara?
I never played but was wondering how it compared to Krondor.

A lot of good games listed here, but let's not forget Shenmue series, Planescape: Torment, Albion, and many others I can't recall at the moment /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

THE BEST GAMES for me....
1.VF SERIES
2.COUNTER STRIKE SOURCE
3.METAL GEAR SOLID 1,2,3

5.RESIDENT EVIL SERIES
6.TOMB RAIDER 2
7.SHENMUE

Outside of VF

1)Planescape: Torment
2)Fallout 1 and 2
3) Total Annihilation
4) Ikari Warriors
5) Silpheed (sp?)
6) Falcon series
7) Phantasy Star Series
8) Guardian Heroes
9) Street Fighter II
Hrmm...I am sure I can think of a few others...

 

My list of faves:

VF series
Guitar Freaks series
Quake III
Gran Turismo
Gran Turismo 3
Space Harrier (arcade)
Mat Mania (arcade)
Xybots (2-player co-op, arcade)
Outrun (arcade)
Gauntlet 1&2 (4-player co-op, arcade)
Hard Driving/Race Driving (arcade)

 

I think Zelda: A Link to the Past dominates Ocarina of Time, but that's just me...

 

they placed FFXII in the top 10. That game was ok. I could think of 3 square titles that simply blow any RPG/Fantasy game out of the water.

1. Final Fantasy VI
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Final Fantasy VIII

 

Flashback was okay, but I preferred Another World by a huuuuge margin. I can't think of too many games with such a bad ass ending.

(crashing into a pool filled with naked aliens in a escape pod [from the awesome tank level], being shot at at every single angle, your budding busting through a wall cool-aid guy style, and an awesome boss battle while you're gimpy?)
-------

Never played or wanted to as I heard it couldn't compare. I remember a time when Sierra made worthwhile adventure games. WTF did they do to Leisure Suit Larry?!

Even as a fan of Black Isle, I never got a chance to play Planescape: Torment. Shameful I know, but luckily my friend Amazon can sort that out.

Character creation! Where art thou?!

 

Super Fucking Mario
Zelda
Goldeneye
Mario Kart
Oblivion
Dragon Warrior/Quest
VF
Mario Kart
Secret of Mana
Resident Evil
Castlevania
Final Fantasy (IV, VI, and XII)
Street Fighter (Alpha 3 is my personal fave)
Mega Man 2
Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Most Overrated:
Metal Gear
Sonic

I would say the game that was the biggest quantum leap at the time of its release was Super Mario 64. It invented and nearly perfected the genre of 3d platforming. What other game of its genre was first and probably best despite many successors which came after it? Graphics aside, I'd say 64 is a better game than whatever new version of Ratchet and Clank is coming down the chute next...

 

Forgot Counter Strike, Chrono Trigger, World of Warcaft, Warcraft 3, Resident Evil 4, Duke 3d (Rise of the Triad was better), and almost everything by EA.

 

Double Dragon II
Battletoads
Mario Brothers 3

Zelda LTTP
Donkey Kong Country 2
Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger

The Simpsons Arcade
Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition
Street Fighter Alpha 3

City of Heroes (consumed two and a half years of my life)
StarCraft
Diablo ONE
Quake III Arena

Superman 64

 

@Sebo:
1. How exactly is Chrono Trigger overrated?
2. And by your reply to my post, are you saying that character creation trumps everything in RPGs?

 

No way is Chrono Trigger overrated! And neither is WC3! Hero abilities were well thought out, microing was just as intense as in SC (each unit was far more valuable), and the 4 races were fairly balanced.

Sebo you're fired!_!(!@!@#*

 

I'm saying it isn't really an RPG because the Role is already made for you. Where is the intimacy between the player and his/her virtual alter-ego?

Not saying Chrono Trigger sucks in anyway, but people really have it on a pedestal.

Play Fallout or Ultima 6 and they'll quickly change any "fav RPG" lists.

Actually, microing is my issue with the game (as well as being over-hyped and utterly disappointing to a fan of the series since the first episode).

I'm biased against WC3 because I spent the better part of my life playing Myth, so another game where you gather resources (released in 2002) was already over done by this point. Squad level tactics plus physics FTW!

Not mention what they did to the story. I remember fighting through ranks of skeletons and ogres just to put Medvih's head on a platter and he comes back?! They might as well bring back Lothar!

 

With what exactly are you disappointed by in terms of WC3 micro? I've never played Myth but I think it's safe to say Blizzard has created a great RTS with excellent unit/hero balance and awesome micro...
and Medivh switches sides for good of humanity!!! how can you not love it?
