Best Pc Game?

[Rico]

I'm chronically bored, waiting for an HSBC guy to get back to me. I have a lot of half-finished games that I'd like to complete but don't know which to choose, while also I'm interested in what game you guys think is best out of the selection. So vote away!!

Personal notes: on Vice City I've got all the packages and gotten to the point where only hard as nails, sucky missions remain. Doom 3 I'd prefer to play when the new PC arrives, but meh.

If what I played of Conker is anything to go by, that game is freakin awesome...

You have to finish Ultima 7, best RPG ever.

This is great. Every vote has been for a different game :lol: At least that proves that the poll is well balanced

Fallout 2. Have you got the update? There's a fair few bugs if not as I recall. Great game that I really must go back to!

ultima 7, if you can get it to work with a new comp, tell me, cause i cant get it to work...

Phastasy Star 4 is what I'm playing at the moment.

Its quality. One of my favourite RPGs.

You're in luck. Two methods: either run Exult (my method) as it emulates the game really well from what I've heard, and this is my first play; I haven't had any problems with it. Or you can use special Windows XP drivers to get the original game working flawlessly (you'll need VDMSound). Use this if you have save games from the original, because Exult doesn't seem to support them.

How far along are you? I've hit the second space station (after you visit the ice planet) but haven't played for about a month and a bit due to exams, and then failing to get back into it.

Wetrix all the way.

Fallout 2, out of that list. I was soooo disappointed in Fallout Tactics, it really isn't much like the Fallout series.

I must have played Fallout 2 like 100x over.

Pirates!

I never tend to get tired of it...

Looking forward to the remake

No question, Fallout 2. One of the finest games I've played ever, I think. Personally, well... Fallout Tactics I did find fun, but you're right, it wasn't Fallout. It was an intensely strategic game though - if you prefered that kind of thing. I don't.

Pity nothing yet has surprassed the Fallout series (in terms of 1/2) in post-apocalyptic cyberpunk RPG settings. Then again, I think it would be pretty hard to surpass Fallout.

Those who liked it like myself should, btw, try Arcanum. Think Fallout but with magic, set at the turn of the industrial revolution, and with some very very detailed cities. Now *that*'s a good game.

Hmm i'd say vice city, but if the missions too annoying then go for Fallout 2.

I had a go at Fallout 2 a long time ago. I remember being sickened by the graphics, and found the combat (a battle against countless ants in a generic maze) really quite boring. It was like Diablo but turn-based. I quit for dinner after merely 15-20 minutes of gameplay, thinking I'd pick it back up afterwards. I didn't.

However so much good has been written about Fallout 1/2 that I feel I should revisit it. It possibly gets more enjoyable In the meantime I got all the packages on Vice City, but die every time I get into the military base. Just realised - I need to wear a cop uniform.

I voted for Conker's Bad Fur Day. I was actually just playing it earlier today

I dont believe somebody voted for Simpsons: Hit and Run.

 

[Rico]

And no votes for Nethack (the infinite game) or SimGolf (pure class)...
