SS2, you insects

 

[NecroLord]

Look at this badass rogue extraordinaire.
Thief: The Dark Project.

British Open Championship Golf!




I'm kidding it's Thief, it's always Thief

 

[JarlFrank]

Have a guess

It goes without saying as it is also the best looking glass game, a game so perfect that no game to date has managed to reach such level of greatness, no other Looking Glass games are close to this quality, I'm obviously talking about the fantastic, the absolute legend, British open Championship Golf game.

SS2. I'd vote Thief Gold, but the way it handles mantling (esp compared to newer games like TDM and Dishonored) always gets on my nerves. If it had TDM's mantling, it would easily be my favourite LGS game.

I think you've forgotten Looking Glass' true masterpiece:

Ultima Underworld for the best base game, with System Shock a close second.
Thief 1 or 2 for all the fan missions.

Technically the poll is missing at least one more game, as Looking Glass Studios were formed when two studios merged: Blue Sky Productions (who are only credited with the first Ultima Underworld-game) and Lerner Research.

Only two games are credited to Lerner Research after the merger: Car and Driver and U.S. Navy Fighters - the latter of which has become relevant today, as it "allows players to fly US naval aircraft over Ukraine in a war against Russia." Lerner has a few titles prior to the merger, but they're all flight sims in one form or another.

Autism aside, I can't decide on a single title among these - many of them are top-tier titles, but I also haven't played Strike Force Centauri, so I don't think it would be fair to point out any one title.

Most people can probably guess which titles are in the front running, though.

Really hard having to choose between the Thief games and the System Shock games.

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

100% of their output is terrible

 

[Fargus]

Mine is Flight Unlimited 2. While i think Flight Unlimited 1 was a great game the sequel is just better in every regard and a true cult classic. Flight Unlimited 3 was the decline and killed this franchise.

Really hard having to choose between the Thief games and the System Shock games.

I agree. System Shock 2 I think is the most re-playable for me. Pushes it a little over the edge.

 

[Jasede]

I would kill for another "campaign style vehicle sim" like Terra Nova with secret bonus objectives. I feel like this genre is completely dead even though it gave us Wing Commander, Mech Warrior, Earthsiege, Freespace 2, Tie Fighter...

I voted TDP though.

 

[kangaxx]

SS2, maybe my favourite game by any dev.

Edit: more votes for Golf than original SS...

 

[Curratum]

This poll is like asking people to choose their favorite id Soft game between Doom, Quake and Catacomb 3D.

Anyone who hasn't voted Thief or SysShock is just a dire hipster.

 

[Lemming42]

System Shock 1 or Thief TDP. Went for SS1 just because it had less votes.

 

[Modron]

Voted for British Open Championship Golf as a kingcomrade choice and checked out the screenshots on mobygames to find out there is a town called Troon in Scotland via the Royal Troon Golf Course featured in it. The internet is fun.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

In Europe, the subtitle became the main title.

 

[Vlajdermen]

Never played any, but having liked Arx Fatalis as much as I did, I'm logically guaranteed to like Ultima Underworld.

They are a godlike company, I played all their games. Ultima Underworld was a landmark game. I voted System Shock because it's just so good and I love SS2, I think of them as a pair. There was a major thing I didn't like about them which was the respawn mechanic, one of the games was more strict which I preferred. I can't remember which. But I don't like either when it comes to that, it is half baked. I almost voted Terra Nova because of that, but the SS games were just so good overall and that first game was miles ahead of other games at the time. I also usually hate stories in games but the way it works in that is really good, I wish people would play it in sequence.

Terra Nova I might have voted for if I could remember it better. I remember it being awesome but I think it's only short or I only had a demo or something. If the vote was for, "what would you like some company to dump money into to make a modern sequel", I'd vote that by a mile.

Flight Unlimited I only played for 2 minutes but it was really good, top end flight sim for the time.

 

[Tweed]

Much as I love the entire catalogue I have a special place in my heart for Shock 1. When I was but a wee lad I played the demo over and over until I finally got the CD version into my grimy hands and it was everything I could have hope for and more and all of that in despite the unconventional controls. While the movement and looking around were clunky, there was a logic in how the game handled reloading by forcing the player to dip into their inventory to manually reload their weapons.
I also don't know how a small studio managed to do far better and convincing voice acting than the alleged professionals, but they did it and it puts the remake to shame*. It did a very good job of making me feel like I was alone on a space station full of monsters with a crazy AI bearing down on me the entire time.
*from what I heard in the demo, so don't scream "HURR IT'S NOT OUT YET"

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

partial to thief 2, cause more thieving... there's few things that are better than thief, i remember playing it as a kid and being sort of mesmerized by it. sadly, i don't really like system shock, 1 or 2. they feel messy tbh.
