Well I would strongly disagree with that, especially for Far Cry (good graphic, hard and very long) and Fear (awesome atmosphere and A.I.). The Call of Cthulhu had a great story and really tense creepy atmosphere. Hitman is cool, maybe you are not lover of that genre? Of course Diablo is a great game, but the graphic and interface are way outdated so that could turn him off that game, so D2 is normal choice. I wanted to mention newer games that are worth playing. | ||

![]() Bioshock just left me with nothing much, and 90% of the cool things in Bioshock is copied from SS 1 & 2. SS2 is more of a challenge for a gamer too. | ||

It was going well for years after release, even though there was rarely more than a few hundred players on the servers. Then Westwood went bankrupt, as EA bought Westwood they shut all the servers down... A few years ago someone started a private server for old Westwood games, but the population is now very scarce. Now only some koreans and a couple of americans play it regulary. The thing that made Nox so good in multiplayer was the way you had to react. If you compare Nox and Quake3, Nox almost required more reflexes and quickness than the FPS genre, even though it was rubricated as a RPG. Single player was really fun, but also very linear and short which doesn't make it last as long as other action-RPG-style games. The focus was really on multiplayer and it was the main purpose of the game for Westwood - to make a great clan-based and fun game which would last forever online. It's still very intense and well made but as it was released just a couple of weeks before Diablo 2, everybody ditched the game and bought Blizzard's instead - even though both games got about as good reviews ![]() On October 28 2007 20:57 Red_Dragon wrote: Well I would strongly disagree with that, especially for Far Cry (good graphic, hard and very long) and Fear (awesome atmosphere and A.I.).

I've played all of those games except F.E.A.R... And even though I agree that most of them are worth playing, this thread wasn't about games that are just worth playing. More like... legendary games that inspire you which you'll love even if you pick them up 10 years from now. I was mainly thinking about Far Cry and SoF games, hell, they had good graphics for their time but when such graphics fade in the light of even newer game, there isn't really much left under the surface. It isn't the same with... say Half-Life which still is a quality game after all this time. The Call of Cthulhu was fun, and despite not having high end graphics, kinda frightening, but not an exceptional game. And the Hitman series are nothing compared to Thief. Bioshock is nothing compared to System Shock. Most newer games actually suck if you compare them to the previous era. Oh well, different tastes I guess ![]() | ||

story based rpg, light fighting elements, lots of well written dialogue, fantastic story set in a original gameworld (none of that pansy high fantasy, proper dark setting, maybe comparable to fallout for dark atmosphere)... not guaranteed that anyone would like it since its a far cry from your usual hack and slash rpg, both in setting and in story/scope, but anyone should at least try it because they should know what they're missing ![]() there are lots of reviews on the net, even new ones (revisiting the game couple of years after its release), so i recommend reading some for a clearer picture. | ||

Everyone's wrong. You HAVE to play the Metal Gear Solid series, beginning with the one for playstation. WARNING: This game is not a game. This game is intense. Play it on the hardest difficulty from the very beginning. As you're getting used to it, you'll take quite a bit of time (30 minutes, even) trying to figure out how to sneak past the guards in THE VERY FIRST ROOM. But let me tell you, this game is not a game. Solid Snake is a character that has character. Kojima is a master of the art that the tale and characters of this series has forged. This game is not a game. The characters are real. The rivals are real. The guards are real, and you WILL die if they catch you. At some points it'll freak the fuck out of you 'cause it can get so intense. This game is NOT a game. Every game in the series has a different theme: Genes, Memes, Scenes, something else, i don't remember. Anyways. It is deep. Fucking deep. Solid Snake is a philosopher, hardened by war, by blood, by sacrifice. He is a clone, but he fights for freedom, true Freedom with a fucking capital-F. I want to have gay sex with him. So do you. Trust me. Just play the game. And play it on the hardest difficulty. Unless you're a pussy. And you hate freedom. And liberty. And you don't support our troops. | ||

It completely ruined it for me, because previously I was like a super expert on every pokemon and the new ones were ghey. | ||
