Short list: Halo: Reach New Vegas (Bugs more than gameplay) Mass Effect 2 Pretty sure that's all I got at the moment.

I'll second this, but I'll add in that you're never going to get a perfect rating on all the missions unless it's on the normal difficulty. On anything harder, your score gets cut if the bad guys even get spooked the slightest little bit. And there's just NO way to go through the levels without making at least a few of them edgy.

The very first game is pretty cool. Interesting story and quality game play. The second game, Pandora Tomorrow, is also good, but it's (in my opinion anyway) the least spectacular of all of the Splinter Cell games. Chaos Theory is the third title in the series and is (again, in my opinion) the best of all of them. Absolutely awesome game. The fourth game is Double Agent and is very good. Definitely worth playing a few times.

Yup. One chain-gun mag in their baby-blues should have taken care of 'em. The plasma rifle works pretty well too.

Really? A chain-gun clip apiece and they should fold up like a house of cards. What difficulty did you play on?

The ability to do that is precisely the reason I <3 the Protoss.

Ahhhh...The memories :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T5u9nD_I0I I still like the music too

I prefer the Chinese AR. It does a little more damage. I'm not sure about shot spread though.

I looked for the name of this for years. I'd heard it in a number of things, but never knew what it was. Today though, I finally found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrML6s1wNHk Anyone else have bitter frustrations\great successes like this?

I had an Imperial Warrior on the PC version of Oblivion that I had named Action Jaxon. I logged like 250 hours of gameplay with him and every second of it was a blast.

Wait what? Who is he? The CEO of Activision. I personally dislike him and his ideas, especially since they're now merged with blizzard and how it might affect their future games. For example, blizzard are known to take their time with games and not release until it's finished, but activion's stockholders might not like this, and simply say "Hey, if this was activision, it'd be out now, what gives? we want our money". I'm concerned how this will affect the quality of blizz' upcoming games. And also this whole deal with the goddamn micro transactions and monthly fee for battlenet in some areas of the world. Not saying it's actually his fault as I don't know for sure, I'm just concerned. Maybe I'm just biased in my dislike for Kotick, but I'm inclined to blame him. It seems like EVERYTHING the dill-weed touches goes in this direction. EDIT: And if MS and Sony DO get weakened in the console dept. I don't want Kotick getting his grubby, greedy claws on anything that doesn't explode with less force than an atom bomb. It would be bad enough if two developers who have already proven to do decent jobs wind up in the drink, but if Kotick steps in to take their places, it'd be a full blown disaster.

:O Srry. My mistake

I am confused. What took you 2 hours to run through? ME2? Even on casual difficulty that would be impossible. or Overlord? Overlord is OK, but I wish it had been different. Or did I miss something here? :wacko: I think he meant that it took him 2 hours to get the game to run. Not to finish it.

Yup. June 1st of 2011. It'll be a while, but quality games are usually worth the wait.

Check it out: Looks like it'll be a blast.

Hmmm..... Pretty sure I'm going to be burned at the stake for some of these, but here goes: Morrowind Baldurs Gate 2 Splinter Cell (Very first game in the series) Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3 I know there are others, but I can't think of any of them at the moment.

Then we agree that the mini game sucked at least. Point conceded. The first games lack of actual ammunition for the weapons, was a detractor. The skill system is pretty much the same, so i'm not sure I follow on why it would be easier. My beef was that skills leveled up super fast, and the point system felt plain wierd compared to the first games. Agreed. Ammo management was a welcome combat mechanic. We'll have to agree to disagree, since this is more of a personal preference thing that we could debate in circles all day. I agree with that. I disagree with that, but again, its a preference thing. I felt like the game was WAY too short. I finished it in less than 20 hours on my FIRST play-through, and that was completing the VAST majority of the quests available. IMO that's just far too short for any RPG.

Pursue every quest available to you. Also, ALWAYS stick with whatever moral extreme your going for. It seems like there are just barely enough opportunities to max out one or the other, so don't waste even the smallest chance to be an angel or a$$hole.

Splinter Cell?

It depends on how you played the first game. If you couldn't talk wrex down on Virmire in the first game, there were a few different ways wrex could die, but there wasn't much of any appreciable distinction between them, and any one of them ended up with him getting an air-conditioned skull. But if you could convince him that sarens use of then Wrex continues on with the party and appears again in ME2.

More importantly in my opinion, If another civilization could locate us in the cosmos, why in heavens name would they come all that way to talk to us?

I sided with the oppressive Order of the Rose at first and then later with the Rebellion of Elves and Dwarfs. And as Epic as the game is, the books are at least as good, I'de highly recommend grabbing them. Unfortunately, not all of them have been translated to English yet.

RAAM from Gears of War 1 was terrible. He was so bad because on the Easy and Hardcore settings (Easy and Medium difficulties) he was a proverbial cakewalk. And on Insane(Hard difficulty) he was literally almost impossible to finish off. He wasn't the fun kind of challenging either. He felt completely invincible and it was just frustrating. Also terrible was Heinrich from Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Horrible boss for an other-wise fantastic game. I could literally run circles around him and take him down without getting touched on the most difficult settings. And I know that a lot of people hated the introduction of boss fights into Halo 2, but I had at least a moderately good time killing pretty much all of them. As for really sensational boss-fights, none leap out at me for the moment. I'll have to go back and reread the thread to see if anything grabs my attention.

The second game is good, but it can't hold a candle to the first game in my opinion. The party characters are cool(just like in the first game), the Environments are cool(just like the first game), but that's about all that the second game can equal the first on. The antagonists in the first game were WAY better and the story in general I found to be more interesting. The skill system in ME2 got REALLY streamlined(Frustratingly so). Also, (as previously mentioned) the planet-scanning for resources mini-game was as fun as a gunshot wound. The one and ONLY thing that I thought ME2 did better than its predecessor, is that 85% of the game play wasn't in that Mako thing.

I'de like heightened senses. Like slightly better tactile, olfactory, ocular, and hearing sensitivity.
