HL2, no doubt.

So whats the summary of all the games voted to be the best? We need a tally to find out what game just got nominated the most.

[mastercho]

yeah a list from all the replys to this thread. although u can tell who are new gamers and who are old gamers.

especially when they say things like CSS, Halflife, Diablo2 and other recent games are the best lol.

there are a lot of games that far surpass them. although everyone has thier opinions. but older games are far superior as they had better story lines and imersion.

Like pacman


You can't say old games were better or new games are better
It's just not true

there were some great games back in the day, and there were some absolute rubbish ones to
and the same holds true today



I'll admit it seems to take a few hundred thousand more than it used to to make a shit game

[Reefwah]

well lotsa classics here. ... good to see theres still alot of good taste out there

i would say ..

FPS:
Doom2 (double barrel action is essential), Quake (NIN sounds pwned), SOF2 (awesome game for its time and really set the bar for real world mp fps)

RPG:
BG2 (wicked storyline), Betrayal at krondor (omg this game was the best! Gorath and owen were the A team! LOL), Realms of arkania (also another indepth rpg that had a really good turn based combat engine)

RTS:
starcraft and age of empires 2 conqs expansion were the best multiplayer RTS's ever!


did any1 ever play Theme hospital? .. hehe i luved that game

also i reckon MDK was pretty impressive for its time..


aaahhh good times

[Verrt]

[TiG3R]

speedball on the amiga
battlefield 1942 on the pc
madden on the playstation

[sacredpossum]

you could say that a new game is best, but you wouldn't be judging the games very fairly, some old games are damn awesome for how long ago they were made.

everytime i play dr mario i get soooooooooo hooked, i sit there for hours killing those lil buggies, its my one weakness eheheheh

plus heaps of old games have good memories for me

[Black Heart]

beachhead 2 c64. multiplayer, and a series of minigames.. was awesome fun.

[|2eS!N]

:bigglasse SOF2 is and aways will be the best game ever for me. i don't play it as much, but i will probably never stop playing it. SOF2  4 eva :bounce:

[Black Heart]

I played the 1st SOF.. reviews were pretty mixed for SOF2, not a lot more too it? I really can't see how a FPS could ever be the best game ever... its too limited in scope.

[The Paladin]

That Savage game was pretty cool... RTSRPG

[bloodyYOKEL-NZ]

its the sentimental value that gets old games points in the BEST GAME awards.

They may be outdated by 60372 sentences in its system code, but they spanwed first ideas and concepts. They are responsible for the quality of new games we have today. Old gamers owe their respects.

There could be other reasons why we cling to old games.

perhaps we should judge the best game by era:

mid 1980's: Commander keen 1

1990's: Duke nukem 3D

mid 1990's: half life

the Zero's: Freelancer

Mid 2000: Halo 2

[Chook]

Freelancer is a bloody good game.

Besides, although i agree doom is an excellent game it wasn't the first FPS.
Wolfenstein kick started that.

[KiLL3r]

Freelancer is a bloody good game. KiLL3r your an up yourself dick. If you've got nothing good to say then stfu.

Besides, although i agree doom is an excellent game it wasn't the first FPS.
Wolfenstein kick started that.

not another crying sof2 n00b, tell me have u gotten ur server yet

[Black Heart]

i remember playing commander keen and after playing amiga games it was a step backwards.

[Simon_NZ]

FF7 owns all. period and MGS...

No storyline or gameplay can come close, those two games alone have more single player reply than anything on the PC.....except their PC versions :chuckle:

[Madjandle]

PONG!

You know the one with the two paddles and the square that bounced from side to side

[mastercho]

yeah doing game by era is a better way of seeing what games where best.

commander keen series was brilliant. um final fastasy series. all of them not just the ones everyone knows. ff1,2,3... and there was another one that had no number, used to play that on a nes or snes emulator. pretty much the same as the new ones, turn based combat. main diff was graphics.

[Simon_NZ]

Yeah i still have em all on emulator:) even with crappy sprites they still pAWn

i passsionately hate turn based combat style in FF series. theres more entertainment removing all your pubes with a crowbar.

[Chook]

Blackhearts got a point.. nothing matched the Amiga for a long time afterwards. Go Super Cars 2!, oh and Toki.. and North and South.. and mouse trap.. And Giana Sisters!
