c0Zm1c Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Quake III Arena is my all-time favourite PC game. In fact, it's my all-time favourite game over all platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Offerman Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Either Max Payne 2 - Not because of how technically advanced it was, but because the story was amazing. It was so gripping, and pretty moving towards the end... ..or Hitman Contracts - For me it felt so much more freebased, and non-linier then so many games promised to be, yet failed.

Dieter Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Supprisingly, no. I dunno, UT and 2004 are fantastic game i'm not denying that. But they didn't change the genre. Neither did Half Life 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 gotta disagree with you there buddy, hl2 is the first fps to throw you into a world so utterly convincing with almost real life physics implemented to almost everything. what its done, rather than cause a revolution on a par with say Halo and Goldeneye on consoles it has simply raised the bar so high that everybody making an fps untill half life 3 will be forced to follow valves example. thats industry change, not just genre. oh and while im here, i gotta say warcraft 3 is the best fun ive ever had with an online pc experience. hands down. EDIT i forgot to mention Steam. i know we all kinda hate it, but what it represents is the start of genuine online, high speed access to games without publishers interests being proiritiesed over those of the gamer and the developer. respect for that ya'll.

c0Zm1c Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 For basic combat in a first-person shooter I think every developer should be following F.E.A.R. (if they really have to follow an existing game and not forge their own ideas that is ). Half-Life² remains my current favourite (for single-player), simply because of its bleak atmospheric quality and also because of its variety in level design and gameplay. But, its more repetitive nature aside, I can't help thinking F.E.A.R.'s take on combat is just that little bit more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'utterly convincing' is relative. I see the word 'photorealistic' used in a review of the first Rainbow Six. Physics have been around a lot longer, yes Havoc 2.0 is the current best but still, see above for relativity. Changing the genre requires innovation, which HL2 lacked somewhat. This doesn't mean it's a bad game, I thought it was pretty good (the mapdesign and gameplay are better in Quake 4 though). HL2 didn't change the genre at all, just advanced it a little bit (which, to me, isn't 'changing' anymore seeing as everything evolves so fast nowadays).

Dieter Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Rollercoaster Tycoon rocks very very VERY hard I still play it to this day. I didn't like 3, you had to put lights and stuff so you could see something at night, which kind of put me off, since it was still too dark. I'm probably acting conservative but I didn't like 3 at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meik Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Yes, I own Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 but, like Dieter, I don't like it. Sure, the graphics are nice, and the firework displays were a nice touch.. but it just lacks the fun, addictiveness and ease-of-use that the original had. I could go on and on for pages about all the little details that annoy me about it, but that's for another day. RCT3: Soaked made it marginally better with the addition of (basic) tunnels and Loudspeakers (something that was always lacking in RCT1&2, but could be worked around by placing a small ride underground with music on). I've still spent a fair bit of time on it because, even though the controls are niggly, end results certainly are impressive. Here's a couple of pictures of (incomplete) projects: Entrance Plaza: Jurassic Park River Rapids: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 yeah i agree, sometimes really complex games are just annoying cause by the time youve figured out how to work all of the features its gotten really boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
