What other games do you like or have played?

[Dill]

When i was younger i played alot of playstation 1 titles. Stuff like final fantasy7-8/star ocean/breath of fire/etc, and i still love them games to death but i never have the time or the money to re-buy them and play them again.

My top 5 favorite RPGs has to be Oblivion, Final Fantasy 8, and BoF4 (breath of fire).

What i play now, i play alot of league of legends (ALOT), Haven and hearth, Minecraft, Oblivion, and im replaying Tyrian 2000 (old 1995 game).

/e burghams jogged my memory, i played diablo 2 all of my life and just recently quit. I also played alot of C&C red alert 2/yuri's revenge. Played alot of metal gear solid/tenchiu/ape escape/etc

will continue to edit if needed lol

OP covers most of my youth up.

FF1-10, every thing after that is crap though...

SoM, SoE, Terranigma, Chrono Trigger. Later on SNES Emulators I found translations of SoM2 and Bahamut Lagoon, pretty cool stuff too.

Suikoden 1 and 2. Then I somehow forgot about the series. Heard that three is pretty cool and four just weird.

Breath of Fire 2

Illusion of Gaia

On the PC Daggerfall, Morrowwind, Diablo 1, C&C 1&2, Starcraft, GTA 1&2

Then for years I gave up on gaming entirely. Until HnH came around and took me by surprise. I swore myself to never start an MMO, because I knew it was going to suck me in way too much, but oh well...

Since HnH went down the drain I played Wakfu with my old HnH group, some small games from time to time like RoTMG. Tried some other indie games, some alpha status games...nothing really felt right.

Now we have been playing Path of Exile as a group for about 3 months or so and even so I could never stick with Diablo 2 and the gear grind for a long time, here it is different and I am still far from being bored.

I started with Command and Conquer, followed by Civilization, Age of Mythology, Sim City and then any other 'sim' game i could find, lol, transport tycoon, railroad tycoon, Zoo tycoon

Then i found a game called Dark Crystal which led me on to the Final Fantasy series, which along with the G.T.A's were my main (fav) games untill i was introduced to HnH.
The only other mmo i play is Salem but a friend wants me to play that space EVE one, it looks quite cool so i'm prob gonna start it once i get this bike race out of the way.

If i do ever put the ps3 on i'm playing Red Dead and Final Fantasy 13.

Edit: I forgot Lara

You all know i'm an old fuck so this shouldn't surprise. My first video game was Yar's Revenge for the Atari 2600 Christmas of either 81 or 82, I forget. Played all the good Atari games Atlantis, Cosmic Ark, River Raid, Pitfall, The Swordquest series. Indiana Jones... My first rpg was on the Tandy Color computer 3 Dungeons of Daggorath, pretty cool little dungeon dive. The video game collapse happened and i spent the early 80's doing other shit then Nintendo came out and I got a little game called Legend of Zelda that effectively changed my life. Played pretty much "literally" every CRPG that came out for Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Genesis, etc etc etc. up to Playstation 1 when I stopped consoles and moved onto computers. Discovered and played X-Com Enemy Unknown on a friends laptop and that and Master of Magic solidified my love of turned base strategy... Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 (Throne of Bhall arguably being 3) Planescape: Torment (love) Ultima Online from 97 to 01 when it went to shit, Anarchy Online, Everquest, Dark Ages of Camalot if it was an MMog I betaed it more than likely and somewhere about 2ish years ago I discovered haven and here we are.

Way too many to list so I will give my top 5 (in no particular order) and why.

1.) Legend of Zelda OoT : Music, pacing, play-ability, and the emotional effect this game has on the player were sublime.

2.) Goldeneye: Played this at countless sleepovers, still one of my favorite shooters of all time.

3.) Baldur's Gate: Best D&D RPG out there hands down. And the voice acting, WOW.

4.) Final Fantasy 8: Believe it or not I played this in college (3 years ago) with my roommate. He had played the game a million times and finally convinced me to. We would sit in his room and play, talk about the game, drink, and talk about life. Nicest guy I have ever met, shame we don't talk anymore.

5.) Starcraft: Probably my favorite game. Played this like a maniac for a long time. No other strategy game has ever come close IMO.

I started with Command and Conquer, followed by Civilization, Age of Mythology, Sim City and then any other 'sim' game i could find, lol, transport tycoon, railroad tycoon, Zoo tycoon :D

I love Transport Tycoon =o

[Amanda44]

Lol, me too.

I've just been playing FF and do you know what i love and miss about that ...........................................
I'm an absolute pro at the combat - - it feels good to slaughter again.

My wife also played SoE and beat SoE back in the day. Probably not nearly as much as me tho. 7 years ago I ripped grafx from that game, can't remember what I was going to do with them or what cd I burned them to. One of the things about SoM and SoE is the music, I liked all of the music from both of those games. SoE music strikes me as being very dark, SoM's is quite the opposite.
Some of SoM's music: http://youtu.be/a8VIWqlylFU

SoE Ivor Tower townhttp://youtu.be/a8VIWqlylFU
SoE Collosia http://youtu.be/IOcPHAMfaCE
SoE Horace's Theme http://youtu.be/WMfuAwQ3_bQ
SoE FoG http://youtu.be/3I8MIJDCrzc bad quality
SoE Pirates http://youtu.be/wjfwk2pgT6U

Oh god, nostalgia. Absolutely loved both SoE's and SoM's music, still some of my faviorte music in gaming today.

I really need to pick up a ROM and play this game again.

[borka]

Well you named a lot already i played...BG and PT: oh yes - greatest games - have them just installed again on my Notebook...

I missused my time with Elite and Privateer 1+2, Masters of Orion1+2, the X and Xcom games and Sim Earth a lot (oh no i don't like spread sheets or office programming lol), i remember the time when CnC was new: wake up, go to work (at a youth organisation - we played lots of Warcraft2+3 or AoE1 on Lan while "working" in the office), go home start PC play CnC, push off button, turn chair around fall into bed, sleep 3 houres, wake up ...- i did 2 weeks...then CnC bored me...i played a lot in my life ... i remember some not so big names like Zax i had some fun with...

My absolute faves are still the Fallout 1+2, Fallout Tactics - one of those feared hardcore FO modding fanbois , also the german The Fall game was fun...still have about 300GB files+ stuff for those games...

I also played BF, BF2 mainly in tournaments and campaigns, mostly Project Reality Mod or own community made mods...

then i discovered HnH...

The worst thing with games today is that f**** drm, the price and that you won't get neat packages and manuals anymore - let alone the stuff inside BG boxes where worth buying it different times...

I forgot about Star Ocean and BoF. Star Ocean 2 was my favorite SO, I'm not sure which 3d Star Ocean I've played... Probably both. My wife claims that we have played both of them, but I can't remember. I rented so many RPGs from Gamefly it's hard to tell. I never got to play much of BoF series, my wife loves them.
I use to speak to a guy who made games that always talked about Tyrian 2000, I don't remember his IRC nickname tho. He made a few indie shmups, nothing that I was impressed with (IDC for shmups) but other people seemed to like them. I'll edit this later with his games.
I don't sell my old games anymore, especially my old rpgs. I sold a bunch of my old games to Game Stop and regretted it. I finally got back most of the games that I had sold. Vagrant Story was my biggest regret, right after I sold it I wanted to play it again, lol. When my best friend moved to Tokyo he gave me his collection of games, over 200 hundred games.

SoM, SoE, Terranigma, Chrono Trigger. Later on SNES Emulators I found translations of SoM2 and Bahamut Lagoon, pretty cool stuff too. Suikoden 1 and 2. Then I somehow forgot about the series. Heard that three is pretty cool and four just weird. Breath of Fire 2 & Illusion of Gaia.

I haven't got around to playing Terranigma or Illusion of Gaia. I have no idea why I never tried Illusion of Gaia, I always thought it looked like a great game from reading Nintendo Power. I forgot about Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. I beat Chrono Trigger last year for the millionth time. I know I played Bahamut Lagoon, I don't remember much about it. Suikoden 2 was fun, I didn't get very far in the game, but I liked it.
I avoided MMOs also in fear of becoming too addicted. For several years I haven't been playing retail games as much as I use to. I've been playing and working on indie games. I've tried tons of games from kids that make Super Mario/Sonic clones to games that could be considered almost professional.
I use to offer my help to beginner game makers, until I realized most are lazy arrogant shitheads that want you to do everything for them. I also use to do art request for beginners but after you hear "I quit working on that project..." you kinda want to smash their head in.

You mentioned Final Fantasy 13 I played FF13 for 1 day, the characters were so annoying I wanted to kill them. Great grafx the game just didn't do anything for me. I love Sim games also, Sim City, Sim Ant, Sim Earth, etc... Have you and Borka played Theme Hospital? A great hospital sim. A young man from the Netherlands got me hooked on that game a few years ago. I have it on my psp

You all know i'm an old fuck so this shouldn't surprise. My first video game was Yar's Revenge for the Atari 2600 Christmas of either 81 or 82, I forget.

I liked Atari, but I never got immersed in it. Pitfall was hard, nothing nearly as hard as the NES version (glitchy pile of shit). There was a 3d xbox version that actually wasn't that bad. Yar's Revenge was great, I don't usually like shmups. You stopped console gaming the ps2 had/has tons of great RPGs. I've just about stopped console gaming, disgusted by all of the FPS madness. Don't get me wrong, I love FPS but there's just too many of them. Tired of people asking me if I'm going to buy this FPS (usually CoD which I hate) or this one. I usually think of a game they would probably hate (Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Little Big Planet) and say "I'm waiting for Little Big Planet 3 to come out" I still keep up with my favorite game developers tho. I'm always on the lookout for new games for 360/ps3/wii that I might like.

borka's post

I played some of those, XCOM & Fallout Tactics look great. Honestly, I don't have a problem with game prices today. They have remained fairly cheap for over 20 years. When I was a kid I was angry that Nintendo increased the price of their games to $70-$90 for awhile. I remember paying over $90 for Street Fighter 2 Turbo in 1994 or 1995, ffs.
Today, $10 increase doesn't seem like much in 20+ years. Most of the games I buy are used or are around $20-$30, I only pay $60 for games that I've been really looking forward to. Such As Zelda, Metal Gear Soild, Halo, Gears of War, Little Big Planet, etc... Last Zelda game I bought was Zelda Twilight Princess (as soon as it came out of the GC), MGS 4 used for $40, still haven't bought Halo Reach Around (I really want to buy it but i need to also buy xbox live gold), same reason I haven't bought GoW3, and Little Big Planet 2 was my last big purchase at $60.
