The only major criticisms I could level at Mass Effect are: the vehicle combat is buggy and frustrating at times; the side quests were repetitive. Despite those things it was a brilliant game.
Anyone play Rune? It was a 3rd-person viking game with online multi-player. I played the shit out of it in fall of 2000. Only problem I found was too many people in Death Match mode trying to break into groups of 2 and having “duels.” I used to run in and kill both of them with my scimitar.
Mount and blade is one. While I wouldn’t call it an amazing game, I somehow find myself reinstalling it and playing it from time to time.
I also liked bioshock from a “games is art” standpoint of “OH MY GOD MINDFUCK” Still not perfect though
From another games is art standpoint, I really liked the semi-recent Prince of Persia re-imagining.
Games built on the TES: IV engine. I don’t think they’ve quite perfected open-worldness yet, but they’re getting pretty good at it. I’m eager to see how it’s going to progress.
Master of Orion 2, THAT was awesome!! I played soooo much, but you get to a point where you’d want more, but the game can’t offer it to you. Unfortunatly MoO III was reportedly a fluke though I never played to tell.
Honerable metion: Masters of Magic and Master of Orion II[/quote]
I was starting to worry that no one would mention Baldur’s Gate, one of the best games ever (I only played Shadows of Amn). Neverwinter Nights is also super.
Other than that, Half-Life and Starcraft
Hey im really interested in this thread, I like those games where you play a guy that levels and fights monsters. Anyone recommend any good games like that, i think there called MMO’s? In the spring im gonna stop drinking, partying, and messing around and just study and workout as much as possible so in the downtime i need something to turn to. i used to play Lineage 2 when i was in highschool, i think thats still around?
