List of the must play games

[toro]

IMO anything with a Bioware label is a must play, but if I had to rank them:

KOTOR I
Mass Effect (just go ahead and do the whole trilogy)
Baldur's Gate I & II
Jade Empire

Wizardry 8, play or nay?

Installed 3-4 times. make party, get to the opening dungeon. Abandon. I still have the game computer but no desire at all to try it one more times.

Sometimes games that hype by others doesnt click with personal taste. W8 is one prime reason.

I have played :
-Fallout 1,2,3, and NV
-Arcanum
-Icewind Dale 1 and 2
-Neverwinter Night 2
-Baldurs Gates 1 and 2
-Dragon Age 1 and 2

Any recommendation, what i should playing next ?

You sounds like a guy primed up for Silent Storm series and Hammer&Sickle. Try Russian goodness!

 

[Xathrodox86]

I have played:

-Fallout 2
-Fallout: Tactics
-VtM: Bloodlines
-VtM: Redemption
-Deus Ex
-Deus Ex: Human Revolution
-Silent Storm
-JA 2 1.13
-Neverwinter Nights

What's next?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

You played Hammer and Sickle, Silent Storm's sequel?

 

[Xathrodox86]

I've heard that it sucks donkey balls. Am I wrong? Should my contact get axed?

Loved both SS2 and Sentinels. Especially the latter for it's huge spike in difficulty. Felt like I was playing JA2: Wildfire again.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Check out the review at tacticular cancer.
It's harder than even sentinels, the story is short but non-linear, with a few branches here and there. And no hand-holding whatsoever. It's awesome.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Also No Panzerkleins.

 

[Xathrodox86]

Also No Panzerkleins.

Now THAT got me interested.

Forgot to add JA2: Wildfire. You want to talk hard, well this IS hard.

 

[Snufkin]

Wildfire is rubish. Also Silent Storm.. cant stand it, takes ages for enemies to make their turn. Game with lot of potential but no momentum.

No. You have to change your perspective

Silent Storm original is like JA2, but more main quest than freeform. You have a bundle of recruits with background you dont want to know about, different only in skills. One story, one edning
Silent Storm sentinels is like a stricter version of S2, with restriction in the form of money. Also slightly more concentrated on story and characters. One story, but two endings.
Both can be described as turnbased, squadbased, recruit management, inventory management, gunporn, rpg-lite, RPG.

Hammer & Sickle is straight up turnbased, squadbased (very limited number of recruits), recruit management, inventory management, gunporn, RPG. It's even more limited than both S2/S3 in the form of money, guns, explosives... It has recognizable storyline, with strong choice affect endings. Three endings (I think), with best ending really is the best. In term of story, think Bloodlines kind of ending.

You mean V:TM Bloodlines, which just happens to be my all time favorite RPG of all times?

I'm buying it right now.

Do yourself a great favour and start your first run with a Malk. Things you just can buy once it's passed.

Do yourself a great favour and start your first run with a Malk Nossie.

Fixed.

 

[laclongquan]

I hate ugly~ Never play ugly.

Might play one (with suitable skin mod) the next time I feel a Bloodlines urge.

 

[Xathrodox86]

Brujah clan is best clan. I've managed to make a nice, balanced out vamp who is both eloquent and deadly. On my next playthrough I'll try Assamite from TFN mod.

Brijah is the dumbest clan.
Tremere can easily fuck you in the ass.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Ventrue is best clan beacuse classy.

 

[VioletShadow]

Toreador and Brujah are the best starting classes clans dunno what I'm writing anymore, I think.

1. Vampire the Masquarade Bloodlines - the best cRPG ever

3. Might and Magic VI: Mandate of Heaven - second the best M&M ever and the best dungeons in the cRPG
4. Planescape Torment

8. Baldurs Gate 2 and Fallout (1+2+Tactics)

13. Mass Effect 1
14. Neverwinter Nights 2 + Mask of the Betrayer
15. Jade Empire

Im from Poland, but i don't understand:
1) why "all" in Poland love Gothic saga? This is "masterpiece of mediocrity"
2) why "all" love Witcher? The Game is good, but ONLY good.

Sorry for my english.

 

[VioletShadow]

M&M placed higher than Planescape Torment

That explains everything.
Well, almost everything.
Even poles aren't that dumb, heck, even DraQ can drop a few worthy posts from time to time when he's not butthurt about someone having a negative opinion about TES games.
That kind of retardation in your post is pretty close to CyberP and Chaotic_Heretic level.

Your list only mentions popular titles, some of those are way worse than some of the less-known/underrated RPGs.

Yes, M&M is the best dungeon crawler ever.
Torment is a great story, but it has average combat system, and the mechanics of D & D does not match the Planescape universe.

I still do not understand. Poles have a "bad taste"?

Your list only mentions popular titles, some of those are way worse than some of the less-known/underrated RPGs.

For example? Demise? Wizards & Warriors? Siege of Avalon? The Fall: Last Days of Gaia? Heath? Revenant? Dragon Age (tfu!) ? Sorry, on my list missing Drakensang: River of Time, I forgot. And i hate jRPG and i dont play a game requiring steam So I do not play the newest titles.

YES!

Demise sucks when compared to Mordor. Also, loved Wizards & Warriors.

Your list doesn't mention Summoner, which I'd choose over any stuff released by Bioware.
