Games You Want, But Cannot Get!

[Saracen 16]

You are playing games and you suddenly realise that game you've always wanted four years ago you still haven't managed to get hold of for love or money. You look on Ebay, but it's not there, you look around all your local gaming shops for a pre-owned copy, but it's not there!

 

You'd give your right arm just to get hold of the game. But it's no use, you're not gonna get it even if you have to bribe someone.

 

Are there any games you have seen over the years, but have never managed to buy or steal from your best friend cos he owns it? Post them here.....

Tanktics made by the creators of lemming on the pc. I had a demo of it way back in 97 but I couldnt afford the game. When ever I go into a gamestation or indepenant game store I always hunt around for it but Ive not had any luck.

Slowly losing my interests with games... it's all about graphics now, not gameplay.

Conker's Bad Fur Day....

 

I can't wait for Live and Reloaded.

 

Now that I think about it... I'd like the entire MegaMan series for the NES. I love those games... They're fun, challenging and just plain kewl.

The old Megaman games are total pwnage over all current Mega man stuff. Good times,

It's probably not just that, once you've played a numerous amount of games, you know what you prefer and you begin to establish standards of which you determine what is an acceptable level.

 

I am the same, a few years ago I'd buy anything which was susceptible to hype. Now I'm very fastidious about the games I chose to buy.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Id still buy SW games just cause Im a huge SW fan. Wouldnt buy them based on reviews and graphics and such.

[GeneralZ 0]

yup. although SW episode 3 game got bad reviews for xbox, i'm still getting it for pc. i dont care what ign, gamespy, gamespot or any1 says

World of Warcraft

 

Still need a job....a fee for monthly play...sheesh....I'd expect that from EA

Tiberian Sun - actually i did play it, but without the CD and I badly want to see its cutscenes

[WeReWoLf 0]

O_O to deprive a man of the good ole' Tibarian Sun Cut ceans... *Cries* Lol. yeah there cool the game is awesome to i still play it just as much as any other game.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

Tiberian sun was fantastic because you had Kane in it, after we got to Kabal, it just got silly...very silly...

 

I want to get my hands on Act of War and perhaps Doom 3. I know many people have slated this game for all its worth, but I do believe that playing it will make me feel better. the amount of inneuendos and possible humourous comments that are going to be made from that game will be well worth the price of it.

stinger,

 

i agree with you, great gameplay wise games have lost their fair say in the industry, but graphics are the most important piece in making a great game.

Far from it... Some of the greatest games in history have had below standard graphics.

 

Anyone who thinks that graphics make up a huge portion of a great game, then you do not have the understanding of what makes a game of professional quality...

 

One game I can name that was released in 2001 was the game "Uplink", which was an artificial hacking simulator... it was an excellent game which was made by 3 British guys in a bedroom in a small house with 3 laptops and no money. They published it professionally themselves, and they made quite a bit of money out of it. No game has managed to create the atmosphere of avoiding getting caught, and the stress of a game over, especially when you cannot revert back to a saved game!!

 

No special computer generated graphics or special effects.. just mainly text and basic pictures... but this game got 80% in PC Gamer UK as it's gameplay and interface was seen as highly realistic.

 

The 3 guys have released a new game called "Darwinia" with no real interface.. basic graphics, it was inspired by the game "Future War" and with a similar story to the film "Tron"... but this game got a 90% average and countless awards!

 

So no, Graphics account for nothing!

Proof is in the pudding with these, download the demos and see what I mean. So addictive you'll want a copy :wink:

[Cygnus X-1 12]

look at some of the ancient MS-DOS games like Tie Fighter

greates game ever (for me anyway) but the crappiest graphics ever

[BWare 0]

yes... graphics, while definitely a lot of fun, are overrated when it comes to gaming

[Thierry 0]

Some of the best games were in DOS, and Tiberian Sun still beats generals in most C&C player opinions

[GeneralZ 0]

i have to disagree with u Thierry. Generals is much much better than TS in almost every possible way.

[DemonHunter 0]

'im gunna say uuri's revenge, i decided to play it other day cos generals is jst lame, but it doesnt work on xp lol
