Games & Gaming

Hey there,I just was wondering,that how you feel about gaming industry today?
I was having a tough about future games,yes they look amazing on graphical side,but they usually lack of story,or the game play is really bad.

So I amused to know your all time favorite games of 3 different category ; RTS , FPS , RPG

My favorite top 5 in RTS is :

1) The one and only C&C.- Had many fun hours with my friends playing it in network.I think that I haven't lost still the nostalgia for it,tho unlucky about the failure of Tiberium wars and C&C 3

2) Dune / AoE -the same for these,many hours of fun and memories,but no so adrenaline full like C&C.

3) Stronghold - The game was superb,even SP was great and interesting.
New odds made this game very popular.Breaking down walls and manning them with old war machinery,just classic.

4) Warcraft - This game speaks of itself.

5) Company of Heroes - A new type of RTS game,but it gave me some time to be hooked,some nice memories it was actually the 1 game I wasn't disapointet.

My favorite FPS top 5

1) Duke - It is the game what brought me here.It is the Godfather of all FPS games.I will never forget the moments I spent playing it.

2) Quake 2 - A game what I finished about 20 times because it was unique at hes own way.

3) Doom and all the old collections - It gave me some scary moments and including some fun.

4) RTCW and all the collections - This was the first game what I took in a serious level,my first online game I ever played.

5) RTCW: ET - The game that I still play.

MY top RPG games

1) Resident Evil all the collections - Just best horror zombie type game I ever played. Godpless CAPCOM

2) Diablo 1,2 - Some nice moments and hours I spent ( hope the 3rd part will be a success )

3) Final Fantasy 7,8,10,11 - The fans of this game know what I am talking about,cool in game vids amazing story and fantastic combat system.

4) Silent Hill - A resident evil type game,but with different aspect,a cool game.

5) Don't know if it will fit here,but I will count it also as RPG it is ofc the Grand Theft Auto. All the series,but the best where GTA 2 and GTA 3.

Thank you for your attention.

focus on reallife.
Eagle LOLZ get ur ass on ventrilo sexyboi
i think gaming is dead
Gaming has a huge market!!! Gaming otusells movie and Hollywood! When ET arrived not many people had broadband connections so although ET was in it's prime then it's nowhere near comparable to CODmw2. The game sucks but it's just the top game out at the moment, people wouldn't go back to older games which is a shame.

We're all hanging on to ET and waiting for someone to save it, but when someone tries and helps people think omg no it will ruin it. Well I think the game has alreayd outshun it's time.

Plus ET2 is in the works.

I've probably seen about two enjoyable games come out after the year 2000 :'< And absolutely none in the last 5 years

This is unacceptable. Let's organize a riot against the shittyness of new games, ok? We can burn cars and stuff
Parent
Im afraid that shittyness of games is result of popularization of PC games...

More people play it, so developers are forced to make easy games[i like to cry whole night because i cant kill the boss ]... Casual gamers are killing us, the pr0s :P
Parent
i don't wanna sound like meez all over again but it is true

nothing worthwhile has come out since like 2002
Parent
problem nowaydays is that graphics and special effects are simply overrated, whereas story and gameplay seem to be less important.
developers want to make their games look good so people buy it and it seems to work most of the time.
One of the major problem is that developers are always trying or lets say because of the huge, profitable market, they are forced to attract new customers, even those who are not necessarily a fan of the genre.
Leaving the real gamers unsatisfied, as we rather care about decent gameplay and a nice story.

sadly i must admit that newest game are mostly all talk... conversions from consoles arnt customized to pc, ergo many things fail as fuck...

If we speak about game genres i like it will be FPS&RPG...

Overall every BioWare RPG is great game... Icewind Dale, Baldurs Gate, Fallout, NwN, Dragon Age, Mass Effect... they are just perfect example of how RPG should be done...

I always enjoyed more fast peaced shooters, like quake or UT, however the best shooter i played is probably Max Payne, even if its TPP...
"It is the Godfather of all FPS games"

Duke Nukem is indeed very fun and I loved it... but considering Quake 1 was published the same year and was so much better in every way (except the main character and his sayings) Also Quake 1 is so much better than Quake 2 :-/

@ your RTS games - no comment because of not mentioning StarCraft
Or Doom, which got released 2 years before Quake, and which still has a living community
Parent
Yes I know Doom is officially considered the Godfather of FPS. I personally never played it though so I can't compare.
Parent
Looking forward to playing Diablo3 been waiting on it for god knows how long will probably be a let down anyway.

Just started playing Dragon Age : Origins decent game! Haven't played something like it for quite some time.

Been playing DiRT2 online aswell another genre of games I never really play, I really dont like newer fps games anymore.
you should also have a look at divinity 2 - that's quite a nice game aswell - though totally different to DA:O I have to admit^^
Parent
gta..hmm isn't it 3rd person shooter or something?

if it is..

3rd person shooter:

1. gta
2. max payne
3. splinter cell
4. syphoon filter xD
5.Mafia
i would start having a "top 5 favourite fps games" if there were actually 5 fps games I'd consider good (talking mp here)

q3
qw
et
You have to clarify that you mean QuakeWorld and not QuakeWars with QW.
Parent
Postal
fifa series
Diablo is no rpg actually...

RTCW certainly..
after that one of the best FPS imo is AvP2(SP+MP) - not the most sucessful, but definitely don't know any pure FPS with more variety.
not to forget about serious sam:D:D:D:D

best RPG for me is 'Septerra Core', stunning graphic back then and an awsome story. Plus the combat system was neat:D
Just followed by the fallout series - YES, I DO like the 3rd one aswell.
And if it wouldn't have been that heavily bugged I'd say Oblivion is one hell of a game aswell, not only when it comes down to looks, but what so ever I rather put the gothic series as #3.

what should i say...I'm awful at RTS games:P
Still I think I spent the most of the time (if playing RTSs) with the C&C series...
Just after that Knight Shift and Spellforce(yes - those are rather RTS than RPG imo:p)
if diablo is not RPG then nothing is...
Parent
It's Hack'n'Slash....just because the story line isn't the primary purpose of this game - but the hacking'n'slashing is:P
just the same as sacred is
Parent
role playing game, thats what it is, doesnt rly matter if its click fest or not :)
diablo 2 = best game ever
Parent
I agree on the "best game ever"-part - though it's still not an RPG(yes, I still play it now and then)^^
Parent
The best game ever is Zelda: A Link to the Past.
games are boring, timekiller only. except et because of some nice people i got to know here!
Wouldn't call Resident Evil RPG.
skate 2 motherfucker
RTS

Just the regular, red alert, age of empires and early warcrafts rate them the same

FPS

only really played ET so short list (tried cod2 pubs etc but didnt like the type of game)

RPG

1. Final Fantasy 9
2. Final Fantasy 7
3. Fallout 1
4. Fallout 2
5. Morrowind

Put final fantasy 9 above 7 due to the fact that 7 just got way too easy once you got an all materia lvl 5 and sold it.(played 8 but didnt like it as much as these games to put it in)
Ive spend ages and ages on the fallout games playing it in a different way every singel time I started a new game and it's still awesome. Still love to aim for the eyes and see their brains fly around.
Morrowind for me the best game in the elderscroll series so far, played it a couple of times, still a bit buggy but overal one of the best games ever made imo

edit: as mentioned above the new games are just too much about graphics and suck in gameplay/storyline :(
BEST RTS: STARKRAFT BRUD WOR (U CAN PUT SC INSTEAD OF WC3 CAUSE IT SAX)
BEST SHOOTER: DOOM I, DOOM II, QUAKEWORLD, QUAKE2 + MODS, QUAKE3, RTCW, ET
BEST ARPIgI: DIABLO II
BEST FUN CONSOLE 4PLAYERGAME: CRASH BASH

ULTRA LEET DRINKING GAME:
