recommend me a game!

[the_dudefather]

thinking about trying something different, so which of the following should i go for:

-Michigan- Report from Hell
-Romance of the 3 kingdoms VIII
-gitaroo man (think i saw it at the place i work the other day)

or any other obscure games you can think of that i can get (within reason)

so what should I go for?

[camacazio]

i dunno those sound like shitty games so i dunno much about that

[BlueOatmeal]

BattleField 1942 The Complete Collection.

If you like Action/Adventure games Beyond Good & Evil is a FANTASTIC game. It may be hard to find seeing as how I was one of the 10 people to buy it and stores wouldn't carry it.

[the_dudefather]

yeah got BG&E a while back and played through it a few times, and have battlefield 1942 & 2

[BlueOatmeal]

Well then fuck. I can't help you. I can't help anyone. I can't even help myself. :( :suicide



What kind of games do you like or are you trying to find a new genre to get into?

[the_dudefather]

trying to find something different really, in the examples i used before (aside from the fact i seen them reviewed on consolevania and they looked quite good) i havent really played anything like them.

so looking for something new really, that isnt really that well known

Subspace/Continuum

It's totally free, incredibly fun to play, and it will take over your life.

[Chojin]

Or it would, if it weren't the worst game ever created.

[Cliff Steele]

did you play killer 7? it was nuts. also if you are just looking for something really obscure peta has a game where you play as a cow called steer madness, it looks awful but i kinda wanna play it, just to see what a game by peta would be like http://www.petacatalog.org/prodinfo.asp?number=COM110

Gitaroo Man is fucking bonkers, I highly recommmend it.

[Misdemonar]

How about the burning fires of limbo!

[eggyolk]

roller coaster tycoon 2 :)

[CheapAlert]

Subspace/Continuum

It certainly did back in 1996, but I quickly got over it. (That switch to a paygame did not help any matters either)

[Guitar Woman]

I remember trying to play continuum back when we had an I-Mock server but the people there shot me and said mean things about me :(

Anyway, if you're looking for something new and unique, check out the Fire Emblem games if you haven't already. They're awesome :o

[Seven Force]

Dynamite Heddy

Seconded.

Switch to a pay game? It originally cost 20-30 bux to buy, but it's been a free game for a long time.

[Misdemonar]

play system shock 2, it's now free at underdogs.

[Guitar Woman]

What? Why? What happened to Looking Glass? :(

It was free until mid-1997, then it started dwindling down its userbase because no one wanted to waste bux on a cd for a free game they have played alot before.

[the_dudefather]

cool diddnt realise that, been meaning to play it again

[Guitar Woman]

I just downloaded it twice. It won't work.

[executioneer]

do you mean system shock 2 or the other thing

cause i think system shock 2 requires a nocd patch PLUS it may only run in win 98 compatibilty mode :(

[Guitar Woman]

I saved the zip file to my hard drive and it wouldn't let me open it, then I tried opening it from the current location and it gave me the same error message :(

[Misdemonar]

try get, you have to get xp patchand some DivX drivers, but all of the cut secenes on mine are upside down, and there is no sound in the game :(.

[the_dudefather]

**update**

went out and bought romance of the 3 kingdoms VIII and Michigan, so heres my brief views on each in the few hours i played them

Romance of the 3 kingdoms VIII (ps2):

chinese historical turn based strategy/politics game, sounds and looks like the most boring concept ever, but for some reason its quite engrossing and addictive, as far as i can tell its going to take about a decade to finish one of the many scenarios, but i think ill keep playing at it

Michigan (ps2):

a sort of interactive movie/survival horror game where you play a camera man and have to follow around a reporter and sound guy around the monster infested abandoned city of Chicago. has by far worse voice acting than any resident evil game, but that makes it quite hilarious (plus any game that gets you bonus points for pushing a woman over and getting shots of her panties is a plus)

[Fathom Zero]

I love Michigan (the game, but not the state).
