Best Game You've Ever Played

[nosisab]

Not sure if someone mentioned it before, even not accounting among the best games ever a somewhat obscure game from somewhat obscure SH got my attention a while ago: Total annihilation.

 

This was one of the first RTS to use physics concepts at full scale. ballistic weapons could hit units across mountains. Jamming units where something the competent rival should go first. Making commandos useful to take down them and barrage artillery, or tactical raids with the similar ideas. Someway it brought the complexity of a TBS to the RTS and succeed in it, where the terrain texture played fundamental hole, as mountains, rivers, etc.

 

Since I never played it online, I don't know what was it's performance there, but would not be surprised if this was it's demise.

 

A game with very good concepts and a above average implementation... nowadays, with the stage physics achieved, TA is a game I'd love to see a sequel.

haha readding these posts make me feel like an old male without a father.

 

anyway for what its worth here are the games i liked to great extent , in no order , i consider "the best" to be a flawed concept.

i am from scotland , age 28.

 

 

RPG ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

early 3D polygon rpg , well worth a look.

 

FPS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

DOOM I,II,III,ROE etc - PC - no one will forget this game after playing it for the first time.

as im sure is the case for anyone readding this. these are just some of the games that

made a lasting impact on me .

 

these games never got the almost decade long advertising campaing that mario did, but people who have played them will never forget.

If I had to vote for my Fav PC game it would definalty be Ages of Empires 2 and the expansion

Metal. Gear. Solid. 3 words that bring tears of joy to my eyes. MGS4 is the best game ever.

Oblivion

Red alert2 (not yet played 3)

Call of Duty 4 (again, not yet played newest)

Medeival 2 Total War

Some people says Age of Empires 2 and later are good... I played AoE 1... and after surviving an early AI attack, preparing a retaliation just to encounter several peasants placidly going thru their lives and some lambs to fight... I began to think that called AI should be named something else. Opinion confirmed when I encountered the "deserters' from the early army (I never played the game again to find out if they were survivors or just got lost in the way to the first assault) trying to go though mountains (serious, they kept marching against the wall) and they didn't even fight back. Never played AoE of any version afterwards.

For RPGs, I'd have to say Oblivion & The Witcher. FPS, I'm rather fond of Riddick (CoR: EFBB, looking forward to Dark Athena).

No question about it the Thief games (Thief, Thief2, Thief(3) Deadly Shadows!

Then Oblivion and the rest.
