Halfway agree... somewhat. The problem with the game's combat, the way I see it, is that it only really gets interesting halfway through when you've unlocked all the workbenches and a good array of skills. Until that point you spend way too much time holding down the attack button and waiting for your skills to recharge. On the other hand, the combat in Origins was a whole lot more stiff and slow, so I figured there was no reason to "warn" tri about it.

im really looking forward to getting the witcher 3 when it comes down a wee bit in price, or i have 50 quid spare for a game. that looks like rpg heaven.

It's surprising to see someone pick GTA IV. Despite a strong critical reception, the general post-hype consensus was pretty poor, and I have no idea why. I absolutely loved that game. Story-wise, it's by far the most immersive experience that a GTA title has to offer.

 

Good call on Red Dead too. In hindsight, Rockstar absolutely killed it last gen. LA Noire was another fantastic game.

I loved GTA4, but the one thing that really, really bothered me was the game started to take itself way too seriously and became very dramatic and depressing. Like that ending, sheesh. And have you ever tried doing all the friends activities with all the characters, and exhaust all their dialogue? All of them start saying depressive shit, like that one guy who jst came out of jail keeps going on about how he has no friends and how lonely he is, and I just about had enough of it when Packie started saying stuff like "Things could have been different, I could have been an artist". Fucking hell, why so much serious, depressive shit. It's like they were forgetting GTA games are supposed to be satire and fun. I was so glad when The Ballad Of Gay Tony came along. Best DLC ever.

 

You can say what you want about the GTA5 story, I'm just very glad the makers took note and steered clear away from all that exhausting depressive stuff.

i feel GTA IV is a bit of a flawed game but the missions in it are great and really pick up pace about half way through.

red dead redemption is fucking great from get go and really easy to sink into on 2nd playthrough :):)

Fuck it, I like making lists

 

1. Half-Life 2 + episodes

2. Red Dead Redemption

3. GTA: San Andreas

4. Mass Effect 1

5. Limbo

 

Honorable mention: Goldeneye, Unreal Tournament 99, Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, Red Alert, Tony Hawk's Underground, Bioshock, Fallout 3... could go on really.

 

Not old enough to really be into 8-bit era, even though I played some good 8-bit games when I was really young. I didn't play a whole lot of good games on the PS2 and Sega Saturn (mostly because I was uninformed in those periods of some reason), so most of my favorite games are on the N64, Xbox 360 and a few PC games.

I remember actually playing Bubsy 3D and even in my childish state you can tell it was beyond horrid.

If you also felt it was awful as an child, then it was genuinely awful.

Suck it down

Eeeeh... Might just replace my GTAIV with either Oblivion or Fallout 3... Or Mass Effect 2? Hmmmm...?

yeah, i completely forgot about mass effect when compiling my list ... sure there are still others i have missed.

final fantasy vii

metal gear solid 3

world of warcraft

call of duty (the first one and it's xpac)

the elder scrolls: skyrim

 

 

I'm not done with the witcher 3 yet and i think it may make the list once i beat it. I would've listed metal gear solid and final fantasy vi, viii, ix, and x, but i felt listing only my favorite of those series' would make room for other games that i thought deserved mention. honorable mentions are starcraft with its xpac brood war, god of war 1, 2 and 3, gta vice city and gta v, tekken tag tournament, zelda: a link to the past, half life 1 and 2, chrono trigger, and i could go on. I've played a lot of damn video games. A life wasted? meh...

at the behest of my old lady i just started chrono trigger for the first time
