Squid Empire Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 This seems like something most people will have an opinion on! What're your favourite 3 games of all time? What about your favourite game universes/visuals? Or your favourite gameplays? How about your favourite games for their story? Mine: All time: Fallout: New Vegas Rise of Legends Bioshock Universes/visuals: Rise of Legends Bioshock Infinite Metro 2033 Redux Gameplay: Rise of Nations Age of Empires 3 Anno 1404 Stories: Bioshock Deus Ex: Human revolution Half life 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonsense715 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 That's a too complicated list for me... i can't really order my preferences. Depends on my mood daily, really. Let's just say I love - Starcraft for its truly excellent storyline, - RA2 for it's gameplay, - Heroes 3 for being a classic, epic, turn based game, and - Blade of Darkness for its atmosphere and unique hand to hand combat mechanics. Oh and fuck the new AAA graphics games. Graphics is getting my attention away from gameplay, and I seriously don't like that. If I wanted to see nice scenery, I'd go for a walk or watch a movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ-Stalker Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) This is a really hard question for me and I've listed some of my top choices. I have a lot more, but have really tried to narrow it down to just the really favorite ones. They're packed in groups which go together in either genre, game type or something else along those lines (I didn't really pay much attention to the categorization, actually). I've just jotted these down from the top of my head, so there are definitely more options I could put down. ACTION FPS: C&C Renegade Call of Duty (+ United Offensive) Joint Operations (+ Escalation) Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Counter Strike: Condition Zero (+ Deleted Scenes) SQUAD-BASED FPS: Global Operations SWAT 4 (+ The Stetchkov Syndicate) APOCALYPTIC FPS: STALKER (series) Metro (series) REAL TIME STRATEGY: The Settlers 2: Gold Edition Age of Empires 2 Dune 2000 C&C Tiberian Sun (+ Firestorm) Company of Heroes (+ Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor) SANDBOX "WORLD BUILDER": Tropico (series) Evil Genius The Movies (+ Stunts & Effects) TURN-BASED: Civilization 5: Brave New World XCOM Enemy Unknown (+ Enemy Within) ... Waiting for XCOM 2! ACTION RPG: Mass Effect (series) Metal Gear Solid (series) Splinter Cell: Conviction Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Dungeon Siege 2 (+ Broken World) Half Life (+ Blue Shift and Opposing Force) PLAYSTATION 1/2: Oddworld Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus (+ New 'n' Tasty remake) Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko Crash Bandicoot (series) AIR & SPACE COMBAT: Freelancer Ace Combat 2 Ace Combat: Assault Horizon So, in retrospect, I like a lot of things. A lot of variety in there by the looks of it. If anyone wants to know more, or what specific atmospheres I enjoy the most, hit me up in private because I tend to talk a lot about the emotional bond I have with various game settings. In short, I mostly prefer and enjoy a lot of story-driven experiences with good character development in a lot of forms.

Squid Empire Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Fun fact wolfy, Roller Coaster tycoon 1 was programmed by one man in Assembly language! And I know everyone loves lots of games but try to narrow it down to a few all time favourites 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plokite_Wolf Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yep. Chris Sawyer, x86 Assembly. The remaining 5-10% of the code was compatibility with Windows All graphics were done by Simon Foster and the music by Allister Brimble. It'd almost classify as indie if it didn't go through Microprose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ-Stalker Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Holy F***, a fellow Freelancer! Ever try the Discovery server? A few years ago, I started out as an Outcast, and worked my way around the "bad parts" of the map, then switched sides, joined the Order and farmed Outcasts in the Tau systems as easy targets - that got my reputation up with almost 2/3 of the whole universe. Oh and man, that music in the Gallia systems! I hope you like the race mission in Bretonia during the campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a killing off of nomad parts though. The way most players start out on Discovery, it's with a semi-hostile Gallia sector... so what I did was get my rep up with Junker bribes. There was this ONE LONE station after the Gallia minefield defense like where I sought refuge, bribed the Junkers, and since Gallian factions like them for some reason (hint: the Junkers could very well be filled Gallia's spies in Sirius) I got a few systems to stop firing at me. Good times! We should play sometime if possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroDictator Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Here is a list: C&C Series (but not RA3 and C&C4) -this includes the fan made games like TS:Reborn Total War Series Age of Empires 2 Sid Meier's Civilization V Chariots of War (Settlers 3) (Starcraft) Crusader Kings II Red Orchestra 2 HS Rainbow Six Rogue Spear and Raven Shield Planetside 2 Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis (MechaWarrior 3) Star Wars Battlefront 2 Super Mario 64 Kirby's Fun Pak (Kirby Super Star) That list is shorter than I thought. Of course there are games that I like but they aren't worthy to be mentioned on this list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Empire Usually I play whatever I feel like, but I think that my favorite might be the Gungans, oddly enough. I like to build grand armies, and being able to place housing underwater is a massive advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
