For me it would probably be the total war series. I just don't get it, and I don't understand why it has such a huge following. There's so many better rts's.
Oh. Um, good woman?Blitzwarp said:Ach, sorry dude. Guess I haven't been around long enough to see the spamming of threads. :Cthatstheguy said:It's funny because of the amount of threads the Escapist gets daily on this subject makes me believe 99.9% of the Escapist hates Half-Life.Blitzwarp said:Yeah. I'm one of those rare, rare, rare individuals who just doesn't get the hype around the Half Life games.
You are nothing special my good man. Apologies. D:
(Also I'm a girl. x_x)
the temple of elemental evil is a good example. its pretty much a pen and paper d&d game, in video game form. baldurs gate isnt for everyone but if you only play for 4 hours, i dont think youre going to have a different opinion. i thought it had a fantastic story and i loved the gameplay, but i do think it was meant for fans of pen and paper rpgsVaer said:Like I said, the game really just didn't get me interested.. I don't know, maybe I'll give it another shot I didn't play it for more then I dunno 3... 4 hours maybe, I know that's a very small amount of time to get in to a rpg I know that much but it just didn't grasp my attention for some reason, it bored me really.. I don't know how to explain it.00slash00 said:i dont know how far into the story you got, but it really doesnt come together until late in the game. the first one, you dont even really know whats going on, until near the end of the game. but when i did learn who i was and what was going on, it was a big moment. if you arent a d&d fan then it might be more difficult to get into the games. i love d&d and baldurs gate 1 and 2 are not only two of my favorite rpgs, they are two of my favorite games.
oh and ps-it makes me happy to see someone who appreciates the awesome that was fallout 1 and 2 (though i thought fallout 1 was by far the best of the series
As far as being a fan of d&d, well... I'm not a fan of the pen&paper d&d since I never even tried it for whatever reasons, but I do like crpgs that feature the d&d and ad&d system, in fact most of my favorites use them KotOR 1&2, NWN 1&2( for the first nwn didn't like the campaign at all but the gameplay was solid and the great amounts of quality mods really made it one of the games that I always have installed ), The Temple of Elemental Evil, etc.
I really hate that question... it's so sterotypical...believer258 said:Ummm... so what do you like?
Chances are you didn't play Final Fantasy VI then. It's the easiest one in the series to get into.Kavachi said:I hate JRPG's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. Really, I have never enjoyed them, especially Final Fantasy. I really don't get it. It's probably because I don't really like anime either.
Agreed best COD ever....and ever will beDon said:Second that, oh yes I have to second that - 4 is my favourite in terms of single and multiplayer.bulldogftw said:Call of Duty: Black Ops. The best call of duty game? No that would be number 4.
Exactly this.TestECull said:Any online FPS. For the life of me I cannot figure out why people play them. They're boring, they're repetitive as hell, they're frustrating, they're about as simple as you can get story wise, and the people who have mastered them are utter dicks nine times out of ten.
Can't say that I have. I'll look it up.Lexodus said:Have you tried Fire Emblem?Sharalon said:Any turn based combat is about as immersive as pong.
About mass effect. The reason you play mass effect is really not the gameplay, it's pretty much a standard cover based third person shooter, but what makes it special is the great story with some really great dialog and some of the best moral choices I have ever seen in a game.Shotzey said:Half-Life: Not that I find it bad, just not "Z0mg best gameh EVAH!!!!"
Call of Duty after WaW, Played MW2 for a few months just to play with friends and found out I reaallly hate it. Black Ops is no better.
Mass Effect: Visiting planets and generally ignoring most of my crew while fighting with same-y weapons against same-y enemies. I played for close to 8 hours without having fun only to find out that apparently the endgame is what makes it good. Endgame =\= 50= hours of boredom. The sequel also made it too, shooterish for my liking.
I had the same problem the first time I played bioshock, but I went back to it and completed it and loved it. You have to give it a chance for the story to unfold.Magicman10893 said:I never really got into Bioshock. The game just got annoying and boring to me.
