After a while bioware came out with the expansion for it and I just had to play the game again, but this time I had to start from the first game with a new character and continue on all the way to the end of Throne of Bhaal thus going from a measly 1st level mage to a umber godlike 37th level demigod (if you played the game you know what I am talking about). It was a truly fun and rewording experience that I have not found in any game since. The closet games that come to memory that had this effect on me were Final Fantasy 7 and High Heat Baseball 2000 (I love baseball games, especially when you put together a really nice dynasty from scratch). What are your favorite games of all time?

The BG Series are the best games ever made. I play them all annually aswell. There is NO game that comes close to the utter feel, subplots, character interaction and combat system. Storyline is argueably the best ever also, but I think Planescape Torment holds that title, but BG2 has the best flexible one.

Kudos to Bioware and Black Isle. I shall never forget either of you.

Ooops!

Sorry it's been a long time. But stealing your buddies last continue was always fun.

Hmm, favorite video/PC games of all time:

- Diablo
- Angband
- Quake
- Return to Castle Wolfenstein

If I'm looking for a game with an excellent storyline (à la Final Fantasy 7, Knigths of the Republic 1, ...), what should I get?

If you've got Playstation 1 or 2, I'd suggest without any hesitation Final Fantasy Tactics, FF6, Xenogears, or Vagrant Story. These games have storylines that are some of the best that have ever been in any game, IMHO.

No playstation, just a computer but thanks for the suggestions.

You can always find a Playstation emulator, but I wouldn't be able to tell you what's decent, 'cause my computer is too much of a POS to run any of them(which really sucks, because I have Tobal 2-one of, if not the best 3d fighters ever- translated into english and it only plays on emulators!)

OMG hehe for great story lines there are no better then Bioware games such as Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2. While the game might be dated in some aspects the story is so good and epic that you just have to keep on playing till its 5 in the morning. It’s from the same creators of Knights of the Republic so if you liked that then you will really love Baldur’s Gate. Also try Planscape Torment which has an extremely good story and uses the same interface as Baldur’s Gate. Be warned though that if you like a good story avoid Neverwinter night because I found that the main story was terribly boring (but the games saving grace is fan made modules).

Totally Agree

I got that game the Day after It came out in Australia, played it for 2 days solid and clocked it (did nearly everything too) and After the 3 year hype and all it was like .. THAT WAS SOO DISAPPOINTING

My Summary of NWN is .

Find Four Items
Rescue the Cat
Slay the Dragon
and your done.

Its the same with the expansions too, they are total rubbish.

The laser. Only wusses used the spread gun! If you mastered the laser, you were rewarded with being able to woop ass in record time. It was harder than every other gun due to it's movement speed and range, but it dished out the damage like nobodies business. You also had to be better at dodging incoming fire, but the laser hands down was the best!

Also in Contra Shattered Soldier for the PS2, the Flame Charge Shot is also the best. Hardest to use, but the best to woop tail with.

It's all about being hardcore.

Kick off 2 on Amiga 500!

 

[450]

DOS Power to the MAX! Jill of the Jungle, Quik the Thunder Rabbit, Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen... (Yes...I'm 14)

After those, Quake III Arena (<--I think the community is like...dead...but people still play it.).

And this Need for Speed I - Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed (after that...the series just is blah IMO)

Chrono Trigger, FF1,2,3 , Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Ogre Battle, Super Mario (all of them), too many to list!!!


If I HAD to pick one...it would be Chrono Trigger.
