Final Fantasy 7 (greatest game of all time IMO)
By: SquareSoft (now known as Square Enix)
Platform: PSX

Seems SquareSoft has all the peoples choice games on a lockdown.  :P

Fallout 2 for the pc

THE best game

Post by: lynx_lupo on November 11, 2003, 10:03:19 am
F2...bad xp...destroyed all my savegames, otherwise it\'s fine. I like Tactics too, as they employ another of my favourite aspects.

But the best is Baldur\'s gate2!

Post by: elscouta on November 11, 2003, 10:10:29 am
I just buyed it, i hope you are right ;)

Post by: lynx_lupo on November 11, 2003, 10:20:35 am
Heh. Me and a leagion!

Before you start it read this:
http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=002241

It will tell you how to install patches and mods, so they will work properly.
In any case I suggest you use the easy-of-use mod(Weidu). It will make things easier . ;)

If it\'s your first time(playing BG, oc :)), use just the apropriate patches and the easy-of-use mod. You don\'t want to spoil your game!
Title:
Post by: elscouta on November 11, 2003, 10:23:24 am
Ah, i have the PS2 version. I don\'t think Bg2 was compatible with Linux

Oh and i don\'t like the easy ways ;)
Title:
Post by: lynx_lupo on November 11, 2003, 10:31:31 am
1. BG can be made to work on linux. Do you mean Dark alliance? If so, that\'s completely different, a diablo clone alike.
2. That easy-of-use just removes some nasty microeconomics, nothing serious, but definetly worth having(like item stacking). So there\'s more of the game in the gametime... And when you install it you can choose which parts of the package to use.

Do you mean with Wine or natively?

Gotta check, but probably with the emulator.

Post by: Drachion on November 11, 2003, 12:30:05 pm
my favorite games are final fantasy 7 from squaresoft and final fantasy 6 also from squaresoft

and offcourse baldurs gate 2 and diablo2 get a high ranking too
Title:
Post by: Princess Aelya on November 11, 2003, 12:52:09 pm
fav console game: suikoden 2

comp game: bg2 throne of bhaal and icewind dale 2
Title:
Post by: druke on November 11, 2003, 01:09:04 pm
heh mine is xenogears as well

got wenosaga and waiting for episode 2 to come bu epispde 1 cant beat xenpgears

bbut there is no point comparin xenogears to another game b/c it is the best game evermade, by far, no exageration all should play it
Title:
Post by: Auran on November 11, 2003, 01:18:42 pm
Tekken: all three. PS2

and

Arcanum: Of steamworks and magic obscura. .PC

That has to be the greatest and most comprehensive RPG ever made. Believe me I have played all BG(TfSC, SoA, ToB) , planescape and Icewind dale games and most other PC rpgs but Arcanum takes the cake.
Title:
Post by: lynx_lupo on November 11, 2003, 01:23:33 pm
I played only the demo, which was so-so. But I heard the XP cap is so low you can\'t advance half of your skills. An interesting setting nonetheless.
Title:
Post by: Auran on November 11, 2003, 01:42:13 pm
Try it. You\'ll find it worth every cent:). The demo doesn\'t do that masterpiece justice. The depth of the game and the classic storyline is par excellence.
Title:
Post by: Xordan on November 11, 2003, 01:51:33 pm
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

I play this like every day, and I\'m uber at it. :D
Title:
Post by: Princess Aelya on November 11, 2003, 02:42:36 pm
i have arcanum. fun game and would probably be better than bg2 if i could figure out why i cant play it online :rolleyes:
Title:
Post by: Caldazar on November 11, 2003, 03:29:07 pm
Wolfenstein 3D :P
No, seriously, that game kicked ass when it was released, a long time ago.. when I was nothing but a young boy.
For Console: A Link To The Past and Sonic.
Title:
Post by: Aramys on November 11, 2003, 07:26:05 pm
For PC i\'d say Baldurs Gate 2/throne of Bhaal and for console i\'d say Terranigma for the Snes
Title:
Post by: Grakrim on November 11, 2003, 08:33:12 pm
For PC, my favorite game would have to be Civilization II or Alpha Centuri.  I can\'t believe they ruined Civ III as badly as they did...

For the Console, I\'ve been playing Super Smash Bros. Melee and Animal Crossing for the past year.  There are definatly better games, but none with the same replay value.
Title:
Post by: Xordan on November 11, 2003, 08:36:50 pm
Yuh, I thought that civ2 was better than civ3. Civ3 had the graphics, Civ2 had the game.
Title:
Post by: elscouta on November 11, 2003, 08:42:46 pm
And what about Freeciv? ;)
Title:
Post by: Xandria on November 11, 2003, 11:00:57 pm
Wow, I\'m glad I didn\'t get Civ3 then, cause all I heard elsewhere was that it was awesome.

I don\'t dare play Alpha Centauri again, and risk having my life sucked into an endless void  :P
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on November 11, 2003, 11:01:49 pm
Without a doubt the best game ever made is FF7.
Title:
Post by: druke on November 11, 2003, 11:59:12 pm
xenogears kicks ff7\'s butt across the boundaries of existance

edit: not to say ff7 stonks, thats just how much better xenogears is, only reason no one knows xenogears is b/c it was a mass release game
Title:
Post by: Xordan on November 12, 2003, 12:16:40 am
FF7 has the best storyline in a game ever I think. A graphics update would make it amazing.

That\'s a bit of a strech.. It had a good story, but not the best.  Best story would have to be the original Metal Gear Solid, or maybe FF3...
Anyway, I\'ve heard that, along with the FFVII movie, there will be a remake of FFVII.  
Title:
Post by: NikonX on November 12, 2003, 12:33:07 am
For a console: Metal Gear Solid (PSX) and FF7

For PC: Age of Empires II The Conquerors
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on November 12, 2003, 12:57:59 am
They won\'t be making a new FF7 until at least PS3.  They said that since you can still play FF7 on PS2 there is no desperate need to remake it.  Plus remaking it would require a new engine which means there will be bigger money issues.  But imagine...FF7 with like FFX graphics....
Title:
Post by: Wedge on November 12, 2003, 04:55:48 am
Vagrant Story is easily the best PS RPG... but it was released late in the PS life and then Squaresoft disbanded the team coz\' it didn\'t sell well.  Half of that team was Ogre Saga folk though, and now they\'re making FF XII, so yay.

If it\'s not the best game outright... maybe Metal Gear Solid... but I\'d say that\'s just the \"best experience\".

Chrono Trigger is the best console style RPG of all time and possibly the only game I\'ve played that is 100% perfect in every way, so I\'d say it\'s my favourite.

And I hear a buncha people talkin\' bout\' FF VII being remade with new graphics... which is totally unessecary and isn\'t happening anyway (they did the movie INSTEAD of a game)... however they are doing that for Metal Gear Solid  :D .
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on November 12, 2003, 05:40:22 am
Actually the movie is being used to replace a sequel to the game.  They want to make a remake of FFVII but not while it\'s still playable.

Post by: seperot on November 12, 2003, 09:53:24 am
i am shocked noone sayed Zone of the enders, it had a great storyling fun to play its only down fall was its shortness.

Fallout2 Fallout 2 Fallout 2

that FF movie was just...eww! horrible!
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 12, 2003, 11:01:21 am
The game that completely blew my mind when it was first released... Outcast for the pc... it was completely underated. even though now the graphics are poo, I still keep playing it through again and again...

exactly, thats what made it horrible. they tricked people into thinking it was going to be an awsome movie because it had the title of an awsome game. It was a real let down for me.

Post by: Xalthar on November 12, 2003, 12:44:57 pm
My favourite game of all times is, and will probably always be:

TES: Daggerfall
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on November 12, 2003, 05:05:53 pm
Final Fantasy:SW was actually a good movie.  But...because it was tied into the game series people had higher standards for it.
Title:
Post by: Wedge on November 12, 2003, 05:33:34 pm
No it wasn\'t, it had a horrid predictable plot with boring cliche\' cookie-cutter characters.  I don\'t believe they hired a single writer for the movie.  Since it was such a huge bomb though, they disbanded the Hawaii studio and it shall never spawn such evil again.

The new thing might be OK... but it\'s not quite a feature film so much as a... ummm... movie of the week?  Well that\'s not really right, but it\'s only 60 minutes long or so, about 2/3 of even a short regular movie.

But this is about \"Favorite Video Games\" not stupid movies.

Fire Emblem is the best GBA game there is, you must all go get it so Nintendo sees that finally releasing one here (it\'s the 7th in Japan) was a good idea!

Post by: Princess Aelya on November 12, 2003, 07:10:47 pm
my favorite game on nes is maniac mansion. it was the first game on nes that had multiple endings. and its the only game where you can microwave a hamster that a green alien with white glowing eyes is obseesed with...hehe I can never get enough of doing that (yea im a sicko :P)

I played Maniac Mansion for the computer (the old DOS version) a long long time ago...

Post by: _Yuhevon_ on November 14, 2003, 02:07:42 am
Ok... hearing all the reasons and games that you all know and love... Xenogears still kicks the pants out of all of them. Xenogears has an amazing story with so much thought and those gears are just so cool  :D . The graphics could be a bit better but the fmv\'s are anime. If you ever find it for like $10 buy it and play it. You\'ll be hooked.
Title:
Post by: Princess Aelya on November 14, 2003, 02:19:28 am
I would love to play xenogears...If I could ever find a copy of it :P

I\'m sure the name \"Xenogears\" has a meaning behind it and all but...At first hearing the name youd think it was a sequal to a metroid game :P Sounds all techy and stuff :D

If that ever happens the person selling it is an idiot.  

Seriously though, thanks to EBay you really don\'t have an excuse for \"not being able to find a game\".  After a quick look it\'ll run you about $40, but that\'s not really bad.  Most hard-to-find-in-stores-but-not-really-super-rare games like Xenogears just cost about as much as a new game these days... and it\'s worth it anyway.  I prefer to find a used copy in a store... just coz\' it seems cooler (I\'ve found mint copies of Tactics Ogre, Xenogears, Valkrie Profile, and Alundra), but I bought Castlevania: SotN off Ebay, brand new even!

Post by: kyp14 on November 14, 2003, 11:23:16 am
defintelly Deus Ex, freefrom genre mixing all the way,
and for console I\'d have to say I liked Phantasy Star 4 the best.


Can\'t wait for Deus Ex 2, that trailer was jaw dropping.
Title:
Post by: _Yuhevon_ on November 14, 2003, 01:57:54 pm
Haha if you have ever played final fantasy 7, when cloud is in mideel in the wheelchair, he says \'Zenogais\' sometimes. This is the origin of the name...........  :). Anyways the story is about huge gears (fighting robots) and a guy named \'fei\' who wants to know about his father, a dude named grahf and his own childhood.  This leads to the finding out of human origin and its just such a deep game. Not too techy. I got it used like 5 years ago. So it might cost a little bit much as Wedge said.

Final fantasy tactics i also have had for 6 years.... that sucker sells for a lot these days. Great game though so im not selling it.

Really? FFT is one of those games I missed when it first came out; got it for about $10 at Target last month...  Maybe I should go back and buy a stack of them, make a killing on eBay ;)

Post by: Wedge on November 15, 2003, 05:26:12 am
It USED to cost a lot, until Sony did a Greatest Hits re-issue of it coz\' it was so popular.  Now it\'s cheap as dirt and everyone can own it!
Title:
Post by: _Yuhevon_ on November 15, 2003, 10:05:33 pm
Oh yeaaa... thats right i forgot about that. Oh well i still have two copies that arent greatest hits cuz one broke lol. I wonder how many they sold... Xenogears isnt on the greatest hits list is it?

The Neverhood. Definantly the Neverhood.

The first Zone of the Ender was ok, but ZOE2 is awesome.

All of the Fallout games were based off an old-school over-head text based RPG called Wasteland. Also an incredible game.

Peace
