Gamer 'Bucket List'

[solidstatemind]

So, it was movie night last night. Had some friends over and watched two movies: the Bucket List (2007), and Miracle Mile (1988). Both movies inspired some serious conversations, and I got to wondering how other people in our demographic (GenY mostly, with a few GenXers like me in there) with the same interests would respond. The Miracle Mile question will be posted seperately, but for the Bucket list- which was an OK movie, btw- the question was:

What gaming experience (or real-life experience you've only previously had in a game) would you like to have before you die?

Our responses ranged from "Actually play Duke Nukem Forever" to "Pilot a jet fighter or, better yet, a Mech"

I didn't see anything like this in the archives, so I figured I'd toss the question out there.

Play ICO.

I'm starting to think that game doesn't exist.

 

[Dudemeister]

Play ICO.

I'm starting to think that game doesn't excist.

I played it back when the Earth was young.
Now, the fables still hold but the game itself hasn't been seen in Millenia.
I have heard stories of a copy existing beyond the gates of N'yaargoth, in the seventh realm.
Good luck.

Play an official Freespace 3? Would that count?

As for real life experience only previously in a game. Uh, none, really. I could sound crazy - but most of those experience tend to be of the life-or-death kind, and I try to stay as far away from those as possible!

Play every Metal Gear game in order. Starting from the original Metal Gear Solid, and going all the way to MGS4 only stopping to eat, go to the bathroom, and perhaps sleep a little.

SSS Rank all missions on Devil May Cry 3's Dante Must Die difficulty mode with both Dante and Vergil.

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

Gain the ability to create entire worlds, and link to them with books a la Myst. Guess what my library would be full of?

I'd love to 1 man (not even AI) a L4D campaign on expert.

 

[Dragonrabbit]

Hmm...I guess I'd like to catch up on a lot of PS2 games I missed: Kingdom Hearts, SotC, etc. I missed them because I was one of those cool kids who had an Xbox and a Gamecube...

 

[SmilingKitsune]

Well these are mine any way.
Fallout 1,2 and 3.
Ocarina of time.
Super mario galaxy.
Halo 1,2 and 3.
Golden sun 1 and 2.
Portal.
Half-life 1 and 2.
I'm going to stop myself there because I'm in danger of simply stating every game I love, too many good games in the world.

Play through the Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Dexter, and or Sly cooper Series from the PS2. NOt exactly unknown gems or anything but outside of Metal gear those are IMO the best games on the PS2.

Edit:And at least try Kingdom Hearts and FFX

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Play Systemshock 1&2 and then Bioshock in one sitting. Play through Psychonaughts.

 

[lava_lamp]

Play through Psychonaughts.

i have that game and love it

you most defiantly should

 

[Cheezdood]

Buy a PS2 and buy Kingdom Hearts, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, Okami (because I don't want to play it on the wii), and handful of other wonderful sony games.

I love my gamecube. But, I'm actually starting to kinda hate my Wii. The only games I play on it are SSBB, Kart, Mario Galaxy, and Zelda

 

[Space Spoons]

I've always wanted to try that mod that lets you use a Portal Gun in Half-Life 2. My computer's always been too low-end to run the game properly, but if I could, I'd do it in a heart beat. Sounds like so much fun.

Also, I'd really like to finish GUN. It's such a great game, but I always get sidetracked.

 

[ae86gamer]

Play every good video game in the entire world O_O ...no crappy games

 

[letsnoobtehpwns]

Play a Nintendo Entertainment System. No emulators or virtual consoles, the real fucking thing with the square controller.
