I searched for favourite but no game topic came within the first some pages.

So what is/are your favourite video games, evarz?

As in every topic that I start, only very serious discussion here please, so no Barbie Beauty Botique ok?

By the way I do not really care, but I am bored...

No I am joking, I do care.

Why? Because maybe, just maybe, people find that they have lots in common, and they then become lovers or UrbanFriends® (much better than plain friends).

If you like and know X series, you know how EVE plays. Too slow and empty for the 98% of human population.

I wish someone would create a modern rougelike like Nethack.

Actually I remember X-Com:Enemy Unkown being a very tense game. Especially at the beginning, when lack of technologies meant that every stupid little alien with a melted mars bar could wipe out several of your soldiers.

Starfleet command...nothing like rolling out transporter bombs from the shuttle bays to pummel the guy chasing you lmao...

When I come to power I will make it mandatory to complete a playthrough of:

The Monkey Island series. Chicken pulleys and funny indigenous people "Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see us?". Needs some logical nonsense to be completed.

Blade Runner. Great adventure in a pseudo dynamic world. Something like 7 different endings, with various elements different for each playthrough. As the movie, asks a lot of questions and does not force any kind of answer.

Portal (1&2). They show how a great, although simple, concept can become a great series, they are challenging, ironical and fascinating. Aperture Science emergency intelligence incinerator, GLaDOS, cakes and the Companion Cube. What's not to like?

Deus Ex. I don't know how they did it but they did it. That game is just something else, the depth of the dialogues, the setting and the storyline is nothing short of pure genius. In a way, takes over where BR ends, by posing questions over the order of things.

I never played homeworld, although I badly wanted to, as I was lacking the pc power back when the first came out, so I bought Star Wars: Rebellion instead. It looked so cool though.

Still worth playing. Space RTS pretty much stopped advancing in terms of new/better gameplay and storytelling, and started a de-evolutionary spiral since the early 2000's, basically shortly after HW2 came out. The Homeworld series will still blow your mind, and not to mention, still looks prettier today since you can override game settings with your graphics cards these days, to enhance them in ways the engines can't themselves. (plus there's some pretty FX mods you can grab)

Sins of a Solar Empire? Biggest waste of money ever. The original was sort of cool, but they have suffered from one flaw since. No Multi-core support, so no big battles possible, even though its ******* advertised in the game. Here's the kicker, they've released 3 standalone expansions to the game that have done NOTHING to upgrade the engine in any significant manner, each at 40$. Then you go on the forums and ask why there's no multicore support, and their answer is because they don't have the money to basically, and that they'd need to make a full fledged new game to do so. To this I respond with two questions of my own; 1. Why the hell didn't you start making SOASE 2 6 years ago then when it originally became so ludicrous to not support multiple cores. 2. How do you justify charging a full price for a game, twice over with new 40$ expansions (all 3 exp add to 120$ if purchased when released) YET NOT FIT IN A MULTICORE UPDATE SOMEWHERE IN THERE? Basically they just charged an exorbitant amount for crap that modders were doing for free.

Ironclad = Waste of space
I wish they would **** off so someone else would take their space. Even if they didn't, I'd rather have an empty space in the Space RTS genre waiting around for a company with real worth to come back to fill the void, then continue to watch them **** all over the place.

Star Wars Battlefront. Whoever makes a third one (that doesn't suck) would make ALL the money.

I bought galactic civs 2 on steam, although is pretty identical to civ, it is a very decent game nonetheless. Thanks for the SOASE tip. Won't buy it then...

Dungeons of Dredmor, its on steam


Favorite games...
The MW games are somewhere in there, the X-series too.
Then of course Mount and Blade, Elder Scrolls (Daggerfall, I love you), Dark Messiah: Might and Magic, The Guild II, Supreme Commander (dont buy 2, its ****), Caesar 3 (first game I ever played, followed by Morrowind)

[MrHacknslash]

Putting my favorite games in order of how much I like them is hard, since I like them all so much.....
I'll list them instead:
Metroid Prime Series
Team Fortress 2
Pikmin Series
Bioshock Series
Deadspace Series
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
Twisted Metal
Sburb

If I had to choose, then Deadspace would be my favorite, though.

[Gail Piazzi]

1. Dragonage (... the whole franchise. All of it. Everything. Shut up bioware and take my money.)
2. Silent Hill (again, let's just go with the whole series)
3. Shadow Hearts (just the first one)
4. .Hack//1-4, not G.U.
5. Red Dead Redemption
6. Deadspace.
7. Condemned

I love my old fashioned RPGs, so much. And horror games. And RDR because ponies.

Fun fact, I actually can barely play deadspace because it creeps me out so bad. I legitimately get paranoid playing it. Need to actually get around to BUYING it instead of just renting though.
