Quick Question>

What kinda of games genres do you perfer and why?
For me it has to be RPG fansty/adventure Mr. Green

I'm addicted to this stuff. Mr. Green

I can't play anything else without comparing it to games like FF or The Lengend of Zelda
It must be because I perfer a game with a storyline.

Action. ActionActionAction. I find RPGs a bit slow, so they tend to bore me. If we're talking single player, I think 1/2 Life was pretty much right on the money for story vs. action, though I hope in the future to see better story lines. Any game where people fight by standing in a group with their peers, then stepping forward and doing something fancy, and then stepping back into their group, is, IMO, lame. If that floats your boat, more power to you.

If it's multiplayer, it needs to be team based and violent.

Mix everything together. I like my action with gore, sex, gallons of blood, violence, fast-paced story, explosions, big guns, humor, sick humor, even sicker humor, sick humor bordering on the line of not humerous anymore and just plain sick, boobies, cartoons, weapons you can throw like grenades, scissors, knives, pipe bombs - meele weapons like shovels, crowbars, small children, and spring-loaded/jet-powered anything - speaking of jetpowered - JETPACKS, jump shoes, cars - jetskis, planes, hellicopters with chainguns and missles, and all that good stuff...

all in one or atleast mostly all in one...I can live with it spread over 3 games.

Wayne Gretsky Hockey '88, Speedball, I would play more sports games if I had a human opponent.
Action - Microsoft Pinball Arcade, Atari Anniversary Edition (old school games)

RPGs are great when you have the time to play them. Some of my favs are Secret of Mana and the Legend of Zelda Series.

I think RTS games are fun too, at the moment I'm addicted to Stronghold Crusader on PC. I think it's a pretty unknown title, but it's great!

Oh and Metroid Prime is awesome aswell! But I think the first person adventure genre wont have many more titles.

I'm a big FPS fan. I think i played most of FPS games until a year ago (when i kinda stopped playing games).
Whenever i saw a demo of a new FPS, sure enough i checked it out Smile

I like other types of games too, but i just feel "at home" playing any fps.

I played some MMORPG too, and yeah, you DO need a lot of free time to play them. It's sick. lol

Big fan of games with storylines.... good ones . games like say half life and counterstrike -- barely have a story line, it really all comes down to point and click -- which , dont get me wrong, is fun and all but it dies out after a while.

games like final fantasy series, metal gear series, and adventure games like king quest, full throttle , etc. are just much more entertaining and humorous for me.

Okay so heres the other Question:
How Much Time Do You Spend Playing VGames?

Max · Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2003 8:21 am

first one still count?

okay, I like nearly all kind of games but my favourite are adventures.

games like Shenmue and Zelda and also point and click adventures like The longest Journey are great.

Especialy because of the storyline like EviLToYLeT said. You can really fell the atmosphere in those games and it's like a real world you can live in.

Yes I like quake and stuff also but that's just for fun; a stress killer kinda.

It's not something I take serious...

alright, second question:

back in the days when N64 and dreamcast ruled I played 5 hours and more a day.

At the moment I play 3 hours a week (maximum) ...just because I don't have any really good games at the moment.

I dunno, most of the games these days look excellent.

But the gameplay and the atmosphere in those games isn't the same anymore...

maybe the cause is that I get older.........whatever

My next will be The two Towers....or maybe Biohazard Zero...well I can't decide...maybe both?

Im a huge First Person Shooter Fan.. most of my games are FPS
although I really like space sim games and racing games.

Adventure and RPG and RTS and MMORPG games arent really all the fun IMO

THe games Im playing right now are

Jedi Knight 2 multiplayer
Freelancer Multiplayer
EVE Online <-- Im a Beta Tester

I might go pick up UT2k3 soon and Red Faction 1

lunayasha · Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2003 10:59 am

Okay I genrally spend about 5 4/5 hours a day playing the games!! Laughing

First of all because I, unlike most people, like to experience the game, you know the graphics, secnrey, story, and music. Not just get to the end.
I find it a real tradegy when my silblings and freinds only play game to get to the end, instead of enjoying its for what its worth!!
I think people should just relax, slow down, and enjoy the game.
How about you?

HEy
I would say those old arcade fly games viewed from the top, there is an old game called 1945 made by Capcom I think, that game was and is a killer. They have one of those old machines at the old Pool place in my town so I always play that game when I am there. :)

Matthew

P.S. Still think Quake2 is the best FPS game ever made. I hope the 4th version will rock cause the 2nd version is and was way better than Quake 3.

lunayasha · Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2003 7:07 am

Matthew I totally agree with you Cool

I haven't played many FPS but Quacker 2 blew my mind Shocked

Drew you have a point Confused

We should also be discussing why we do not like other game genres as well. Can anyone else elobrate?

Matthew · Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2003 12:08 pm

Hey
I can elaborate on why I don�t like role-play games and that is because they are always so tricky and difficult. the only role-play game that I have been able to play is Battle Realms you know the one where Feng zhu made the concepts and some stuff for.
I guess it is vice versa with people that like rpg games, they like the tricky part and all that.

hmm, am I wrong.?
