I thought that Bioshock was a bad FPS and the 'RPG lite' elements failed. I loved the atmosphere but couldn't finish the game. The story was fun for awhile but turned horribly cliche. Maybe I should have tried completing it but when I see stories like this using examples (COD-Modern Warfare) that are crap you can't take it seriously.

I'll take it even if it is as Mediocre as D3 or Q4. I've been trying to get through Crysis 2 and it just feels consolized and boring like all of the other modern shooters I never seem to finish. A straight ahead, solid FPS would be fun. I'm not sure why it's so difficult to build one these days.

Also, the soundtrack had a good Sonic Mayhem vibe to it, wonder if it's them?

Does anyone remember when he made GalCiv I and II for OS/2? I do. Perhaps this "windows" gaming business gets to you after awhile.

It would be great if someone made a good shooter again. Just started Crysis 2 and know I hate it, didn't mind the first one, or Farcry. But come on. Let's make something simple and good again, not insulting and irritating.

Still waiting for an RPG. One day. One day....

Loved the demo, I cant wait till this games released here. I havent been this engrosed in an RPG like this in a long time. The demo left me wanting more.

You were being sarcastic, right? We didn't even need the demo, it's Jowood. This is not Gothic and that was obvious quite awhile ago. It's not worth pirating or playing or anything. It will be an incredible disappointment unless you like stupid, streamlined, broken, shit.

The raping, the raping never changes.

I have to admit Enemy Territory had one of the best hit-scans ever. They even tightened it up in a bit in the ETPro mod. Unfortunately I've never played CS or any of the valve MP games for that matter so I can't compare. I could load it from my steam list I suppose but I just started playing ET again and prefer the object based class type games.

I need a hoker.

I bought COD4 off of steam 2 and did I ever feel ripped off. Two years after the fact and I should have known better. Never even finished the single player respawning, regenerating cinematic experience. What a scam. To this day I don't understand how that is 'fun' once you understand the underlying, grinding mechanics.

Respawn, respawn, breath, breath, breath, respawn. Do you need to read a walkthrough for this game? Fuck it was stupid. You must RUN through the TV station, because, you can't take them out. You must RUN through this part. Just complete shit.

Very dissapointed with that game. The worst part is that is was going for fourty bucks in the retail store, fiftey bucks online Steam and when I bought it (CDN was par) I got charged $65 for a fucking digital download when I could have, nevermind. I'm an idiot. Couldn't finish a five hour peice of shit. Bioshock pissed me off less than that.

Don't know if it was Kotick but some faggot got me.

I want the first top three that are dear to your heart. Yes it's hard, that's why I made it top three. In my case I listed what I spent a lot of time on and really liked. Not necessararly the best games of all time according to critics or your buddies. What *you* like.

I don't want this to devolve into a discussion, make another thread for a particular game or genre if it needs to be done.

You may change your vote as time goes on. If this get's long enough, I'll compile a spreadsheet and make a long list adding up the three top ones and showing the rest. This will help 'normal' people pick good games. That is my hope.

We don't have enough of a sampling yet. If you like Oblivion, list it, I won't laugh, that's not the point. I'm sure Jerykk will list Tribes (forgot number).

Let's keep it short and sweet, just list them even if it's embarrasing. Use your own criteria; most time played, favourite in heart, guilty pleasure, who cares? Just list them. They have to be PC games though.

I'm playing PST right now for the first time ever (I know, lucky me) so maybe I'll change mine in a few months, but for now, just go for it, and feel free to change your vote as your ponder upon it. I won't be adding things up for awhile.

If it was obviously designed for a console and sucks shit but you like it anyway and there is a PC port for it, then it counts. Go ahead. List it.

Personal three favourites. It's tough, but you can do it.

It takes a brave man to admit his weaknesses. And most of us are old around here now and don't give a shit anymore so vote you rickety old cunts. And you young whipper snappers too!

Excellent. We're getting closer. I suppose 3 games is very difficult, but let's keep it at that. Five or ten, what you played, most favorite. let's do it.

I'd like to revise my top three, but the Top Three. I know, it's hard.

...

"Thanks brah. SMA rocks so I'm in good company. And I wouldn't really call myself a console player. In the 2 years since I bought my 360 elite - first console for me btw - I've only purchased 4 titles and rented a dozen or two. Compared to 100s of games I've played on the PC in the last 15 plus years I was, and will always be PC gamer first. It's certainly my preference by a very long way. But times change and we must evolve and adapt too or be left behind."

Cool dude. But don't backpedal. You are being watched.

Now go vote. I think you like GTA and Batman likes X3. I like the Chili Peppers. Go do it, tell the world what you love above all else. Same with you, NIN.

PC Top Three

Alas, I haven't been watching CBC (or any TV) lately. I've never been against beating a retard that deserves it.

As for sports, I don't care. It's not an interest of mine, and I know many here get into it, but I was just surprised after a lifetime of not seeing any soccer coverage, why it is mainstream news this year. What changed to make that happen?

I embrace all 'New Comers' to North America to enjoy our lifestyles. Where else can you go to beat up cops and get beaten by them? Free speech and all that.

Plus, Cutter. You're my favourite poster here, always have been just behind Scottish Martial Arts. Before you became a console player you were pretty close on the money for having similar game tastes.

To say it was a very interesting day working in the heart of the G20 would be quite an understatement! Holy shitballs it was nuts and we're set to do it all over again tomorrow.

I hear they're using new laws to strip search people. Such a shame, Bush is gone, no need to emulate him anymore.

Anyways, I was wondering why so much media attention was being spent on Soccer this year, I'm pretty sure Canada doesn't have a team and didn't know that the Americans cared about it either.

What is the interest of whipping up a media frenzy about it in the West this year? It doesn't make sense. This is an annual thing that British fans kill each other over on a regular basis isn't it? Why the media mongering this time?

now there are tons advertising/shill/consoletard/media owned child babbling retard sites.

I fixed that for you.

SCM:

It wasn't even an article, more like a brief thought, but when flipping through the pictures it was amazing how many I recognized without even reading the headers. I'm sure many of you did as well.

As to Half Life 1, I missed playing it until years after I'd played the hell out of Quake 3. And a good game it was when I eventually got around to it. I don't see the point of bringing it up though, it was a heavily modified version of Q1+Q2 source code. Perhaps HL1 could be considered an id engine game but do we need to rehash that old argument? Let's not even bother with the Germans.

COD4:

Yes, the first Call of Duty was definately a quake engine. Too bad they didn't bother making a game out the recent versions of whatever engine they used.

Elite Force 1 & 2:

I played Elite Force 2 a few years back and loved it. I just played Elite Force 1 a couple of weeks ago, I thought it was brilliant. I'm not sure which is better, probably the first. It took me all of two minutes to get past the Q3 graphics and get totally absorbed in the gameplay, I think I finished it in three days.

I started a topic in the 'PC Gaming' forums "Top 3 PC Games of All Time".

Blues News PC Games Thread: Top 3 PC Games of All Time

It's really a trick to find other gems like this that I've missed over the years as most modern games PISS ME OFF.

One of reasons the Quake engine was so nice is that is was fun! A beautiful combination of intense action, skill and arcade all rolled into a 3d experience. You can *feel* a quake engine when you play a game based on it and feel at home in it. Unlike the *feeling* you get with some Unreal engines. Some of us were tuned to it and others were not.

I don't think I've played anything as comfortable since then. Including the short lived Doom 3 engine. Many of us subscribed to this board, back in the day, because of it. Long live Zenimax!

Tallyho!

Let's make yet another list. What are your best three? Just list them.

I'll start:

1) RTCW: Enemy Territory (w/ETPro)
2) Gothic 2: NotR
3) Quake 3 (Usually w/Team Arena)
