Title: What game should I buy? Post by: Comstar on October 31, 2005, 07:25:21 AM Next week I have arranged to have a week off work. This is mostly so I can spend a week playing video games until I can't stand to play anymore.
In between maybe FIANNALY finishing Balder's Gate (II and the sequel), Fallout 1 and 2, Planscape, a campgain of Falcon 4:Allied Force with the DPRK's invasion of the South, a higher than normal difficulty campgain of GalCiv and the entire Morrowind game+both expansions... What game should I get?
Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: dusematic on October 31, 2005, 07:27:54 AM Neverwinter Nights sucks balls, while Civ 4 is awesome.
Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Merusk on October 31, 2005, 08:19:27 AM Yeah, if you haven't even finished BG2 yet, you'll only regret buying NWN.. the story isn't anywhere near BG2, and was even less compelling than Icewind Dale if that's possible.
Civ 4 gets my vote. Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Signe on October 31, 2005, 08:55:47 AM I think you should buy some other PC game you haven't mentioned.
Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Nija on October 31, 2005, 09:42:47 AM Civ4.
One warning though. If you do buy Civ4, you won't be playing any of those other games you listed. Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Pococurante on October 31, 2005, 09:47:15 AM I'm on the Civ4 bandwagon too.
/yawn, must have more coffee Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: schild on October 31, 2005, 10:13:38 AM Call of Duty II. If only to keep you the hell away from WWIIOL for the rest of eternity.
Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: voodoolily on October 31, 2005, 10:42:57 AM The final installment of the Myst series is out! This time with no embarrassing local theater talent! And a free-to-roam world!

And a free-to-roam world! Hey! Brad Dourif was in one of them. That guy's awesome. Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: El Gallo on October 31, 2005, 01:44:59 PM NWN with the expansions is an excellent game.
Civ 4 is probably the best game ever made. Then again, I think that the 5 best games ever made are all in that series. Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Sairon on October 31, 2005, 04:50:08 PM It's all about taste, seems like you have a lot of catching up to do if you haven't finnished any of the games you mentioned first. If you haven't played CoD 1 then you REALLY should play CoD 2. If you have a super computer I would pick up F.E.A.R as well. If you have the patience, then Civ 4 is truely amazing, it's a solid improvement while still staying very true to the old formula. If you're into RPGs, which it seems like you are, then Knights of the old republic 1 & 2 might be intresting as well.
Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: pants on October 31, 2005, 05:38:57 PM Save your cash - finish the very good BG2, then bask in the post-apocolyptic joy of Fallout 1 and 2, before finally wallowing in the storytelling beauty that is Planescape. That should easily fill up your week.
Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Sky on November 01, 2005, 06:35:43 AM Quote NWN with the expansions is an excellent game. There's the catch. I hate NWN, because I only bought the box, and even the worldbuilder (for the first six months, when I was trying to write up some modules) sucked (and I had the guide to it). I don't, you know, know MAX and whatnot.So I'm REAL FUCKING UNLIKELY to buy more NWN stuff to make it ok. I just write it off as a loss and use the money to buy an actual fun game. I agree with what pants said, but if you like TBS, get Civ4. It's a great upgrade to the series. Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Ironwood on November 01, 2005, 09:30:28 AM That'd be a fine argument if it wasn't for the fact that you can get the NWN bundle over here for less than half the price of a game as new.
The controls still sucked ass for casters tho. Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Venkman on November 01, 2005, 10:12:56 AM Any thoughts on Star Wars Battlefront 2? I skipped the first, and haven't followed the second, but I'm intrigued by the integrated space combat bit.
Title: Re: What game should I buy? Post by: Azazel on November 01, 2005, 10:30:02 PM SW:BII isn't out for a few weeks on PC, to my knowledge. The PS2 and X-Box versions are out today, I think. Here, anyway. I'll certainly be waiting for some reviews and thoughts on it from somewhere like F13, since the reviewing websites spent so much time fellating the first one, which was basically garbage wrapped in Star Wars shiny.
Same deal on BF:Modern Combat, actually, though I don't need that as I have the Real Title: Re: What game should I buy?

As to the game itself, I didn't enjoy the first one much and it's so vastly inferior to Battlefield 2 I'm not even going to bother picking-up the sequel. Battlefield 2 with Star Wars skins/ vehicles would entice me, Battlefront, not so much. |
