Games That Must Be Played

[Eazy-GFX]

Grand Theft Auto III is the first game that comes to mind followed by Max Payne.

GTA:SA & Max Payne 2

Can't go wrong with those two games, but I feel the first Max Payne game was better.

Crysis 2. I wasn't following this game much, I've always wanted to play the first game on PC but never got around to it. I'll definitely be picking up the first game soon as the second game is just... wow. Amazing!

GTA : San Andress > every other GTA tbh

I do agree with this. Don't get me wrong, GTA IV was an amazing game but I was hoping for it to be more action packed like with the missions in Gay Tony.

Silent Hill 2.

Silent Hill 2 is probably the most finely crafted game ever made, in terms of story and ethos.

I saw a preview about the new one. Silent hill fell off but apparently this new one coming is meant to be a return to basics to create a next gen Silent hill 2. Could be good (Especially as i play games a lot rarer these days.

Silent Hill definately fell off. Team Silent, the team who made them, basically realised it had run its course after 4 (although technically SH4 was only turned into a Silent Hill game midway through development, hence why it was so different - probably a sign that they knew), and since then greedy bastards have kept it alive with a slew of shitty sequels which may have improved the graphics, but threw any meaning out of the window. The series was shipped off from the original Japanese Team Silent to an American production company; fucking says it all really. Don't even bring up the fucking film, that shit was an abomination which had such huge oversights as sticking Pyramid Head in it when he doesn't even fucking appear in that one. He's only relevant in Silent Hill 2! Fuckin stupid people.

With Akira Yamaoka gone it's definately gonna suffer, because that guy did pretty much all the music for the main four games (a fucking astounding feat especially when you consider the quality of the music). I once read a quote that his music may not be the most complexly composed, but it taps into human emotions perfectly.

The idea of a "next gen Silent Hill 2" does not bode well with me either. This series should be left alone, especially #2. They're all good, but I cannot praise Silent Hill 2 enough. They wouldn't be able to recreate it, even if they had Team Silent helping them. People in the game industry have become idiots, spurred mainly by the fact that lots of the people who buy them are, and so get into the mindstate that graphics and shit is all that matters.

if you were a fan of Sonic 1, 2, or 3
get this
it's like all the original games rolled into one monster game...
I'm waiting on episode 2 though

[Kez]

Fuck Sonic 4, another example of a game industry that can't come up with original ideas and so must rehash everything. Sonic 4 was shit.

Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 are the fucking goat though. The hell happened Sega?

Dayum Kez you know your Silent Hill!! Haha.

Lol, it's just cause back in the day when I was like 13 I became interested in it; played a couple of the games and let's just say I was a tad obsessed for a while. But hey we all do stupid shit at that age. and being completely fair I could have been watching or playing much worse shit. I got so much rip off my friends about it lmao.

Il prob at least give it a go as im interested to see what it is like

You really should, I aint gonna try and describe it cause that would ruin it lol. Don't get me wrong it's not some revolutionary game that changed the face of games, but it's definately something.

It is the same way in which they where struggling Resi evil ideas but then threw that off a cliff as well.

Lol I should stress though, Silent Hill's a thousand times better than Resi in every way that matters

They went the action route on the last silent hill aswell (im told).

Yeah, it sucked balls.

It just depresses me though that you have consoles now that can do some epic shit but games like these are suffering. If they where at the creative stage still of the first few there would be some mind blowing games about.

Amen to that

[Kez]

To be fair dude i did and still do to a degree with the MGS games

Yeah MGS is cool but it borders on pretentious at times, like when I heard that MGS4 had like an hour-long cutscene. Just isn't needed. And the series probably holds the title for most confusing storyline easily. That said in terms of gameplay MGS is awesome.

Ahh, think you misunderstood me :P I meant the new one when it comes out. I played the first 3 Silent Hills all the way through.

Ah well then much respect! I'm assuming 2 is your favourite as well?

Hmm.. I prefer Silent Hill but i think Resi deserves some props. Resi evil 2 was probably the second best "horror" game i've played.

Meh I was just never a fan of Resi really lol. Having the enemies just be "zombies" just seems too cliche to me and never really disturbed me. Plus there's no real meaning to it, i'm not a "games are art" faggot or anything it's just the Resi games, to me personally, just look like lots of blood and guts for shock value. Although I will say the Lisa Trevor story was fucking sick from what I believe was the first Resi.

I agree with SA 1 & 2 being goat though

Final Chase

I played the shit out of Sonic Adventure 2 like you have no idea, I have all the emblems and all A Ranks on every single one.

@Killa, i'm very surprised (and impressed actually) there's people who have actually played SH on here. Somethin tells me Maybe probably will have if he gets in this thread.

[DƎRDYPK]

word yous a pro wit it
Sonic Adventure woulda been so much better without playing as Big
that's the only reason I wouldn't call Adventures 1 the greatest
I wanna go fucking collect rings & beat bitches...not fish for a frog

[Kez]

Oh god Big

So fucking annoying

They need to make a Sonic Adventure 3, I would give that a chance, instead of just trying to re-make the old games.

Fuck yeah. That would be a bad ass sequel. I actually bought, and thoroughly enjoyed Sonic All Star Racing. I'm a fan boy, oh well.

[Kuyou]

I'm more of a JRPG fan so I'll list Valkyria Chronicles and Final Fantasy XIII. I suppose Pokemon Black / White can go here too.

Battlefield bad company 2 (on pc is the best )
