What do YOU think is the best game of ALL TIME and why? - Page 18

Team based FPS Starseige:Tribes - One of the original team based FPS games. Fully moddable and had the greatest mapping modding community in its day. Not to mntiaon Net code that was so tight it ran on 14,400 modems with no issues

Single Player FPS - Half Life This was just really a pinnacle of gaming to me

RTS Warcraft 3 (+ TFT) - Great gameplay and the moddability made games like DOTA possible. IMO This was Blizzard's greatest contribution to gaming (With Starcraft / Brood War a close second)

Dungeon Crawlers - Diablo II Lord of Destruction - Once agian this game was so much better due to an active and creative modding community

MMORPG - Dark Age of Camelot - IMO the best PVP system ever put into a MMORPG and the first game that PVP was not an afterthought

RPG - Planescape : Torment - Just an amazing RPG

Ah Yes, I forgot to add MMO's

I agree

Daoc got me into MMO's RvRvR was Godlike and always something going on.

This game kept me Happy for about 6 years total!

Another Long Laster, but patheticly so, Runescape ^.^

I was on Beta Team and played for years before I had computer enough to start playing Daoc. After that Id only log in every now and then for some reason or another, and have to this day randomly logged in.
Unfortunately i dont put much time into it anymore

So my highest lvl is still like lvl 91, with a Crud Tons of Pures I made in teh old days (my group of friends were the first ones to do 1 def, 40 Att Str Pures with R2H for Uber Player Killing. I used to 3 hit everyone =)



best RTS Ever = Total Annihilation and especiall Core Contingencies Expansion!

Omg the Community was awesome, TONS of Totcal Conversions, TONS of new Units to download. KROGOTH!!!! say no more, it was god in a game

Also loved it for the 3d Models that changed orintation on certain Landscapes, that was new to the RTS world

Yes wicked game, I also loved how artillery could shoot half way across the map w/spotters. I wish the ai was better though, but so many units for any environment. I wish I played it online

Another sweet mod for HL and the BAR was a beast too, DOD was the only game I joined a clan with and competed.

MMORPG it was Ultima Online for me loved the PvP ( pre AoS).

I think the best "current" game is Project Reality (BF2 mod). Love this game, so realistic and fun. What other game can you legitimately use suppression fire as an effective tactic? Flying through Muttrah in a huey to land on a roof top while taking fire was awesome. I also really enjoy the teamwork aspect of this game which I think is it biggest downfall as well, it's not a one person game, if you have a ****ty team get used to loosing everytime. Oh and HUGE maps made it even more challenging and good squad tactics was key. I haven't played a game with realism like that and I'm not talking about graphics. Oh I guess the other downside is you can't just jump in and out of a game they can take hours to play.

It's hard to decide one, I have played a lot of games for hundreds of hours, some thousands.

But Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millenium will always have a special place.

but yes, you were lucky he didn't loot your picks. biggrin.gif

Yeah, you are probably right on the levels. We only played that first month. I am 57 and the memory isn't what it used to be. UO could have been a much nicer experience. It could have been the Warcraft of MMO's before Warcraft. smile.gif

I would have to say the two games I loved playing the most were both on my Commodore 128. The one I spent the most time playing was probably Sid Meier's Pirate's. I know for sure one time during summer break I for sure played that game all night long. My mom came in my room to ask if I had gone to bed yet and I told her in a little bit I don't have school. She responded Its saturday morning and the sun is coming up you really should sleep for a bit. I can remember spending so much time trying to conqure all the spanish cities to convert them to english, french, and dutch. It was not that I am against the spanish but they were the world power in the game and so the obvious one to pick on for the under dog.

The other game I really loved playing was called Elite. It was a 3d space combat and trade simulator. You spend time going from planet to planet trying to trade goods and upgrade the engines, lasers, and other aspects of your Cobra II class starship. The fun factor for this game stopped when the 5.25 floppy of the game I had broke. The small metal ring in the center of the disk that allowed the drive to spin the media broke off rendering my disk useless. Man i still miss this game.

Honorable mention is Wasteland. I'm looking forward to the reboot of this game.
