Max Payne

[Sanis Prent]

WOOT!

[ReaperFett]

Bst. Game. Ever.



Well, top 5 at least

[Mortaniuss]

No, System Shock 2 is probably the Best Game Ever. Followed closely by Thief Gold.

I think that proclaiming any game that's been out for less than a month "Best Game Ever" is silly.

[Sanis Prent]

I didn't say best game ever....but I'm sticking by the claim that its the best "shooter" ever.

SS2 is damn close to the best game ever :)

[ReaperFett]

Deus Ex
Thief
May Payne
Hitman: Codename 47
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
Half Life
Half Life mods(deserve a group of their own)
Diablo
Delta Force
WWF Wrestlefest
Sunset Riders
Simpsons Arcade
Police 24/7 ( IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED THIS, HUNT IT DOWN)
Hidden & Dangerous
System Shock 2(although dissapointing)

That's my top 15, in no order

[Sanis Prent]

you forgot RB6, h0

[ReaperFett]

not played it all. Just bits of it

[Mortaniuss]

I think Deus Ex was very overrated, but I'm not going to complain.

Hitman was a good game, but they didn't really introduce the story until the second-to-last mission.

--

My list:

System Shock 2
Thief Gold / Thief 2
Diablo
Sacrifice
Tribes 2
Ground Control
Doom / Doom 2
Duke Nukem 3D
Quake
Half Life
Ultima VIII: Pagan
Warcraft 2
No One Lives Forever
Heretic 2 / HeXen II
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight

There's probably a few more I could add to that list, but it'll do. :)

[Morgan Evanar]

I don't like Rainbow 6 much. INF eats it for breakfast

[Mortaniuss]

Damn Right.

[Jedah Lynch]

Twisted Metal Black is *GASP* fun. Great tension releaser, nothing like running people down on the street while trying to blow other vehicles up.

Castlevania:Circle of the Moon is a blast. Takes the Symphony of the Night format and makes it into a great portable game on the GBA. Vampire ass kicking action. What could better?

Not PC games yet both are good games for their respected platforms.

Since bought Unbreakable on the same day as those two shall saw that was a good movie too:)

[Mortaniuss]

Console Games:

Lunar:SSSC / Lunar 2: EBC
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

I'm pretty sure that's more than 15, but what the heck, right?

[Sanis Prent]

I didn't like Deus Ex. Not at all

And I don't play console games much...except for Kagero (sp) on Playstation :)

Twisted game it is.

[Mortaniuss]

Kagero was awesome. But Deception 3 takes everything that was great about it and improves on it. :) :evil:

[ReaperFett]

Max Payne is great for screenies :)

[Mortaniuss]

I knew that, by posting these, either you or LL was going to say that and then probably post some of your own. Try to keep it under a dozen, ok guys?

[ReaperFett]

only got my dead deagling rat one handy, no other good ones yet

http://jcngl.clanpages.com/shot0007.jpg

[Anbira Hicchoru]

I didn't keep any screenshots, but I'll play the game again, just so I can do that. There are some INSANE shots in that game. One time, I dove across a poker table, blowing a guy across the room with a shotgun. I got up, dove back across the table, popping two guys under the chin with my double berettas :D

[Hwoarang]

I got TMBlack, and it is cool.

[ReaperFett]

mine was when I was running up some stairs (4th level I think), and I heard a metallic clink. Guessing a grenade, I dived up the stairs, and saw the thrower. In my slowmo dive, I fired my Desert Eagle thrice, took him down. As I went by the corpse, I catched my mous, and he spin round to reveal another, who I killed in two. To a wather, it would look amazingly skillful. In reality? Pure fluke

[Anbira Hicchoru]

You use a Desert Eagle in bullet-time? Bah! A waste of talent :)

[Anbira Hicchoru]

And for some reason, my favorite characters were Vinnie Gagnitti and the Finito Brothers :D

Eh but don't answer! Its eh...how you say it....rhetorical question!

[ReaperFett]

I was diving from a grenade. Im not changing weapons:)

[ReaperFett]

I liked Mona and the RUssian myself :)

[Anbira Hicchoru]

I'm going to make you an offer you cannot refuse...hehehehe...I've always wanted to say that!

[ReaperFett]

his voice made that such a good line :)

[Anbira Hicchoru]

and from Mr. Gagnitti:


Payne!
Freakin Fed! I knew there was somethin screwy about ya!
Whaddya think you're doing? You got nuttin on us! You can't just waltz in here, waving your piece like it means somethin!

[Garrett Blade]

I must agree - Vladimir is great :)
I also liked Jack Lupino too:

THE FLESH OF FALLEN ANGELS!!!

That was a great line in my opinion, it fit in well with where you were.

Gotta pay homage to the V-head junkies with their "I'm gonna kill ya!" - right before I pop a cap in their ass, or their head - whatever!

And a great line from "Mickey Blue Eyes" on your return to the hotel..."Fagettabaaatit!"

[ReaperFett]

no no no! Baseball bat the junkies! Go Al Capone on their rear! :)

[Severen Morkonis]

Max Payne (that i have recently completed) IS and i think the best game ever...very memereble and is a top shooter....a good ending for a sequel and i hope to god they bring they movie out like they say...

[Keerrourri Feessaarro]

Its good, but SS2 is better :)

[Morgan Evanar]

SS2 is the best first person single player game ever. Best multiplayer only would be UT, of course.

Max Payne is pretty good, but Theif and Theif 2 are better.

Morgan hit the proverbial nail on the head with a two ton sledgehammer. Needless to say, the nail shattered and the point is now moot.

[imported_Firebird1]

Jeeeze, considering how many people have played T2, I'd think we'd have a tribe here!!

[Severen Morkonis]

TOP 5

Max Payne
Hitman code: 47 (cloody good game pitty it ran slow on my comp :()
MGS
Rainbow 6 (all the series)
Command and Conquer (again all the series)

[Captain Tyle]

1. System Shock 1 & 2 (Shodan is EEBIL)
2. Rainbow Six Compendium (Something utterly chilling about realistic combat)
3. XCOM 1 & 2 (Oldies but goodies)
4. Total Annihilation & Core Contingencies (Krogoth, and 20 nukes for me!)
5. Fallout trilogy (I need a plasma rifle, stimpack, bottle of rotgut, and a jimmy hat)
6. The Sims (Interior decorating pwns me)
7. Jedi Knight (nuff said)
8. Max Payne (bullet time rox)
9. Unreal (still absolutely drool on myself when I play this)
10. Axis & Allies (I love this game. I'd play it more in the board game version, but its so hard to set up)

[Mhalbrecht Dalarsco]

Anything by Bliz and Rogue Squadron are the best games ever.

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

Rogue Squadron? BLECH!

[Morgan Evanar]

Can't stand Fallout, but I can see why it is a good game.

Again, to those of you who think Rainbow 6 and Rouge Spear are hot stuff, INF eats it for breakfast.

Real men use open sights.

[Nupraptor]

Top Ten Modern Games:

Thief Gold (the Dark Project) / Thief 2: The Metal Age
System Shock 1 / 2
Diablo / Diablo 2 (with exp. pack)
Infiltration
Tribes / Tribes 2
Anachronox
No One Lives Forever
Sacrifice
Ground Control
Half-Life (and mods)

[Sanis Prent]

INF?

And I discount that "Real Men..blahblahblah" argument.

Make the bullets real, make the threat real. You wanna use an in-line sight from an M-14 against a cadre of ex-soviets with briefcase nukes?

No...you use everything you damn have in your arsenal.

RB6 is good, because RB6 is REALISM.

[ReaperFett]

nah. If it was realistic, I could blow limbs off :)

[Sanis Prent]

True...thats one thing I wish you could do in that. But then again...you don't really use a lot of explosives. Still, every other grenade, would be nice to blow somebody in half.

Or more fun...catching a tango as he patrols next to a door, and setting of a breeching charge.

Its the world's biggest splinter, coming at you at mach 2

[ReaperFett]

Who mentioned explosives? Look at how that IRA guy snuffed it in the book. I WANT THAT!!!!!!!

[Q]

Rainbow Six is a little too realistic, in my opinion: It sacrifices things like gameplay and fun in favor of making itself out to be some sort of combat sim. Which is why there are far more people that play less realistic games like Counter-Strike or Infiltration.

[Morgan Evanar]

INF and RB6 have different goals.

RB6 aims to be a counter-terrorism simulator. INF is more of a general warfare simlulator, hence different situations.

INF is slowly becoming much more realisitc. The chance of a soldier on a battlefield diffusing a nuclear weapon is very slim. Thats why there are specops teams like those portrayed in Rainbow 6.

[Sanis Prent]

LOL .50 cal to the head...yeah, I want that too.

[ReaperFett]

I enjoyed Delta Force. The way how it was realism, yet arcadey. Made great 10 minute blasts.


And, for realism, I want it where if I start unloading with a Desert Eage, point five-oh, I want it to penetrate their skull, fly out, and hit the next guy. I want to be able to kneecap the guy, putting him on his knees, before finishing him. I want a knife, conflabit!


If you could get splashed by blood, I'd be soaked :)

[Sanis Prent]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein!!!! OMG!!!

[ReaperFett]

Medal of Honour looks better

[Q]

Not really, my dear deluded British friend.

[ReaperFett]

yes, really, my stupid-hatted Pedigree Chum

[Q]

"Stupid-Hatted"... this coming from the man who shares a country with the Palace Guards at Buckingham? Hahaha! You do amuse sometimes.

http://fyi.cnn.com/2001/fyi/news/09/13/world.perspective/story.guards.ap.jpg

And that aside, the main difference between the two games is that Return to Castle Wolfenstein has a playable test out, and the both of us have played it. You, obviously, have not. So don't try to knock it, mmmkay?

Looking at screenshots is one thing: Seeing the most realistic flame effects ever implemented in a game is another thing entirely.

[ReaperFett]

Try not to knock it? I said HEARD and LOOKS. From those two, I can base a descision. I never said IS, did I?


I believe it is Unreal 2 which has a nicer looking one. And ask Morg or Nup, I hate Unreal weapons :)

Besides, Flamethrowers suck. Give me a nice Bullet-based weapon any time of the day :)

[Q]

http://www.mohaa.ea.com/images/sshot/sshots-big/may-sshot-lg_09.jpghttp://www.activision.com/games/wolfenstein/i/screenshot05.jpg

'Nuff said.

And I said "flame effects" not "flamethrower": This includes things like explosions and the like.

[ReaperFett]

Quake 3 looked great. Wasn't a great game though, was it?

[Q]

Medal of Honour looks better
Quake 3 looked great. Wasn't a great game though, was it?Do you humans normally contradict yourselves this much? :p

That comparison is there strictly because you said Medal of Honor looked better: I was debunking your claim.

Moreover, my original point was that you're attempting to judge the game based on screenshots and hear-say when you can just go download it and play it for yourself.

[ReaperFett]

actually, Im waiting for it on DVD :)

If I DL a demo, it takes hours. By then, I already dislike the game.





Tell you what I want ina game. FLashbangs. But not how most games do. Seem The Negotiator? How Sam Jackson uses them? I want that.


Actually, there would be a good game. You are alone, limited recources. You have to defend your position for an ammount of time, which you can accelerate. Not enough for a full game, but it would sure be sweet

[Severen Morkonis]

Q before you go takeing the pi*s outta us ole brities i surgest you take alook at your own food range instead of our Bukingham Palace Guards...for intance a "[i]Twinkie{/i}??..orrrr or perhaps the back of a car...what are they called a trunk?? i do beleve trunks come with elepants..:)..not cars..lol..well i cant take the pee to much cuz me moveing to the USD soon and i dont wanna get a baseball bat in my head..:)..ta ta

[Q]

You know... if that made the slightest bit of sense, I might actually be impressed.

[Xanatos Etanial]

I'm going to have to agree with Q on this one.

[Severen Morkonis]

i thank you..:)
