Great Games to Play

Technology and Gaming
#1

So I was searching for some great games to for me to get, so I looked around the internet, and decided to come up with this list, which acts as a checklist of sorts for me, as well as a recommendation list for others if they are interested. So the main point of this thread is if any of you have recommendations of some great games, or just feedback in general, such as your opinions on the ones on the list, any essential mods, etc. post them here. I might update it with any new ones I forgot.

I got quite a few of these from antisocialfatman (for those who haven’t heard of him, he’s a very good reviewer, he died earlier this month, but you should check him out nonetheless.) https://www.youtube.com/user/antisocialfatman#g/p

My games to eventually play-

System Shock 2
Fallout 1
Fallout 2
Escape from Butcher Bay - Dark Athena?
Deus Ex
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines
World of Goo
Sins of a Solar Empire
Company of Heroes
Mirrors Edge
The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom
Baldurs Gate 1
Baldurs Gate 2
Planetscape Torment
Neverwinter Nights 1
Neverwinter Nights 2
Knights of the Old Republic 1

oblivion and skyrim, obviously

#3

Mount and Blade

#4

And then install Mount and Musket and have 20000x more fun.

#5

I´d get rid of System Shock 1, I´d add Age of Empires 2, Command & Conquer Tiberium Sun, and OBVIOUSLY, the whole Half Life Saga:

Half Life
Half Life: Opposing Force
Half Life: Blue Shift
Half Life 2
Half Life 2: Episode 1
Half Life 2: Episode 2

I also enjoyed Sweet Half Life, a single player mod in the eyes of another survivor of HL that does not disrupt the cannon yet it fits quite well with the original story.

remove minecraft

#12

AND WORLD OF WARCRAFT

#13

WoW is a good game if you don’t suck, I’m guessing you did Mab.

Minecraft is also a really great game, but it depends on the person who plays it, some people can’t stand it, millions love it.

#14

WoW = Glorified chatroom with monthly fee

#15

WoW is legitmately fun in moderation to me. I can’t play it for hours/days on end like some people can without brushing with death out of boredom, but it’s not a bad game. And it’s an unbelievably well-designed game, it wouldn’t still be around after 7 years and completely destroy all of its competition if it wasn’t. People who say WoW is shit are people who have never tried it, typically, or just don’t like MMOs, because out of all of the MMOs I’ve played, WoW is the only good one, imo.

#16

I’ve played since year one, on and off of course, but I used to do endgame raiding heavily, I PvP’d seriously, and I would just fuck around with my friends and do exploits and glitches all the time. It’s a great, fun game, but I am starting to get burned out, 7 years is a bit much for me, and Cata and Wotlk have been lackluster compared to TBC imo, but it’s still a great game.

#17

I have some questions, do you guys recommend Assault on Dark Athena, or should I just get Escape from Butcher Bay. I know that they upgraded Butcher Bay with better lighting and crap, but how does Dark Athena stack up to the original?

Is there any game on that list that is bad and shouldn’t be included, because I intend to go on a “best of the best” videogame spree at some point.

Also Please don’t try just to list whatever game comes to your head, or your favorite game, list the games that you believe can be considered “great” of course its always going to be an opinion, but do give it some thought.

#18

Quake
Doom
Daggerfall
Battlefield 1942/2/3
Unreal 1
Hexen/Hexen 2
Half-life
Terminator Future Shock
Descent/Descent 2
Dark Forces 1/Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight 2
Heretic 1/2
Call of Duty 1/2
FF7 with hardcore difficulty mod and graphics mods (PC version)
Blood
Duke Nukem 3D

In no particular order.

Seriously, PLAY ALL OF THOSE

#19

How is that even a question? I’m sorry, but it’s retarded to ask “Should I look for a rare, outdated copy of a game, or buy the sequel to it that also includes the first game with better character models and lighting effects, along with the second game?”

#20

Its more of a pricing thing, I don’t particularly care for graphics, and assault on dark athena costs around $20-30 more where I live, and I can’t get it on amazon or ebay from my location.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
