Cygnatti 02.26.13	I < 3 you gia :D needs at least one of the Earthbound games but still :D
Black Ink 02.26.13	No Sim Ant. Waste.
Calc 02.26.13	i think you may be thinking of star fox adventures but props for 10 and 22. no one ever puts those on these lists. and i thought turok was for N64 and then 360? and the first one didnt have multiplayer
foxblood 02.26.13	ffxii is amazing fuck what everyone says. story ain't great but my god that gameplay silent hill 3 is about as good as 2, plays less good but has better atmosphere. much prefer chrono cross to trigger but yeah list has good gamez
Atari 02.26.13	soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the recent video game lists. i knew you'd have wind waker on here but props for chrono trigger that's a classic RPG right there.
DamnVanne 02.26.13	So many badass games on this list. Metroid Prime 1&2 (3 was just okay), Arkham Asylum, Bioshock 2, FF12, Chrono Trigger, Battletoads and Halo. Have you played Portal or Shadow of the Colossus?
Shuyin 02.26.13	for the very best RTS id pick homeworld, that game just owns
GiaNXGX 02.26.13	i love you tooo [:, my birthday is this friday btw!
GiaNXGX 02.26.13	Have you played Portal or Shadow of the Colossus? I've played Portal 2, a friend of mine likes it a lot haha, good game.
demigod! 02.26.13	Metroid Prime is the best game ever omg. dat atmosphere.
GiaNXGX 02.26.13	agreed
Atari 02.26.13	happy early bday my birthday is tomorrow!
NapalmCrusader 02.26.13	Needs Vanquish and Jade Empire.
Cygnatti 02.26.13	Superstar Saga, omg that gave was too good for an rpg.
Storm In A Teacup 02.26.13	I want the newest Resident Evil and Devil May Cry.
GiaNXGX 02.26.13	superstar saga was one of the best gameboy rpg's evaaar, thanks atari early hbd to you too!
Atari 02.26.13	Got the new devil may cry as a bday gift last night actually it's pretty cool
GiaNXGX 02.27.13	i heard t's good and its graphics are godly i must admit but damn dude i miss the old dante
demigod! 02.27.13	superstar saga is so much fun. really funny too. "The Legend of Zelda'Wind Waker': fuck ocarina ._." Ocarina is great, but yeah, it is inferior to Wind Waker. and more importantly, Majora, which is the best Zelda imo. and one of my all time favourite games.
Tyler. 02.27.13	i agree so much with 7. Halo 4 was way better than reach thankfully
Cygnatti 02.27.13	super star saga was the very first game I had. it was in like 2nd grade, the first day, we got a gba, super star saga, sonic advanced 2, and yoshi's island omg those were the days
Havey 02.27.13	best video game list on sputnik probably ever
demigod! 02.27.13	fucking right Yoshi's Island, that game has an amazing soundtrack
Havey 02.27.13	only thing missing is pokemon but w/e
NapalmCrusader 02.27.13	Also needs kingdoms of amalur, redsteel, Super Smash bros brawl and more.
demigod! 02.27.13	agreed Pokemon also Rareware, where are the Rareware games DKC? Banjo? Conker?? Battletoads???
Atari 02.27.13	"i heard t's good and its graphics are godly i must admit but damn dude i miss the old dante" i haven't played too much yet but i wouldn't say the graphics are godly. i've played ps3 games with better graphics. the gameplay though is very solid and they even throw in some humor to fuck with people like you who miss the "old" dante.
demigod! 02.27.13	andcas' list wins because SFIV.
MO 02.27.13	man turok 1 and 2 were godly
Cygnatti 02.27.13	"only thing missing is pokemon but w/e" agreed with havey
Trebor. 02.27.13	Every time I play Half-Life 2 every other game seems shittier
GnarlyShillelagh 02.27.13	Pong is awful bro what are you talking about
MikeC26 02.27.13	Agreed with 1 so hard man. I've never felt the same level of emmersion as I have from the Gamecube titles. Makes me all nostalgic...
MikeC26 02.27.13	no way man oblivion was great
AngelofDeath 02.27.13	14 and 17 all day, son.
Havey 02.27.13	12 >
Gwyn. 02.27.13	fuck oblivion
HangEmHigh 02.27.13	27 instantly negates any credit you had with all of the other picks.
MikeC26 02.27.13	wow so edgy using cuss words! oblivion is great
Havey 02.27.13	CARE TO ELABORATE, LAKES????
slipnslide 02.27.13	list a a 3/5
Havey 02.27.13	though yeah morrowind is far superior
YankeeDudel 02.27.13	i dont play much video games but yea Shadow of the Colossus and Journey had some great atmosphere. What other games are like those?
Havey 02.27.13	i do agree with you i just wanted to hear your take on it
Havey 02.27.13	yankee 12 has the best atmosphere/soundtrack in any video game imo it's nothing like SotC/Journey but still
YankeeDudel 02.27.13	Yea I never played silent hill only resident evil but I know about the silent hill soundtrack. ill have to play that
Vakarian12 02.27.13	"no redeeming features" fun quests, great music, great graphics (at the time) spellmaking. The only things you stated that actually bring the game down are the dungeons and enemy levelling (whether changing Lore is good/bad is subjective. Personally I don't mind it) Faces made of cheese was funny and the voice acting wasn't that bad, it was just the conversations.
kris. 02.27.13	aria of sorrow is fantastic, agreed
AngelofDeath 02.27.13	Dude, Oblivion's soundtrack sucks balls.
kris. 02.27.13	also vanilla oblivion is pretty bad compared to morrowind but superior pc capabilities allow for mods which make it awesome
kris. 02.27.13	"i never bothered modding oblivion because a polished turd is still a turd and i have better things to waste my time on" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there's the full retard
TheNexus100 02.27.13	lol oblivion sucks no matter how you look at it
PistolPete 02.27.13	dude the final boss in paper mario thousand year door is beatable you just have to master the timing when you use a jumping attack (hit A just at the point before you hit them and continue pressing A at that point until the attack is done and you can basically do like 20 dmg in one turn). That game is fucking tedious and long but super fun.
kris. 02.27.13	because one, it's not a shit game at all (this isn't colonial marines we're talking about), and two if you actually perused the mods and tried it out you'd come to the understanding that it actually turns the game into something far superior to some of the stuff that comes out today via expanded quests, better graphics mods, complete overhauls of the leveling system, whatever you can think of there's a mod that's done it but your ignorant ass wouldn't take the time to try it out so shush
TheNexus100 02.27.13	also 80 percent of the quests I did in oblivion were point a b busywork cliche rpg quests. the writing is also terrible
WashboardSuds 02.27.13	omg yes paper mario ttyd. that's always been among my all-time favorites, really under-appreciated imo
TheNexus100 02.27.13	lol game sucks i will mod it and create a different game than the original game is now good i think you're the retard the game fucking sucks morrowind for life peace out
TheNexus100 02.27.13	"not saying much considering the vast majority of so called RPGs that come out today are complete trash, and again there's no point spending the time on modding a not good game when i could play and enjoy something far superior like morrowind right out of the box" marry me
kris. 02.27.13	jesus christ you guys are thick
Vakarian12 02.27.13	Bethesda games always have shitty writing. And yes, Morrowind fo lyf
TheNexus100 02.27.13	we're not thick, we hear what you are saying. the bottom line is compared to the previous 3 elder scrolls titles, and really any decent early 2000s rpg, oblivion is shit. In fact it's just shit to begin with. The environment was bland and repetitive. The writing was mostly terrible. The main story sucked. The leveling system/scaling was absolutely hysterical and has no place in any rpg let alone an Elder Scrolls game. The dungeons were all the same, the designs were boring. The mission structures were highly unoriginal. Quest markers ruined the series. The Oblivion gate, while an incredible concept, ended up being a huge letdown. No varying experiences in any of them and each one was just so underwhelming. Horrible opening. Any questions?
TheNexus100 02.27.13	morrowind had amazing writing. It's a very hard game to get into, very directionless and boring in the beginning but what it becomes is fucking incredible. With the overhaul hd mods its unbeatable, without its definitely outdated as fuck but its still fucking brilliant. So many things wrong with that game and yet its still a masterpiece
Havey 02.27.13	OBLIVION IS NOT A BAD GAME GUYS YOU JUST HAVE TO MOD IT TO DEATH UNTIL ITS BASICALLY A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME
Vakarian12 02.27.13	Honestly I can't remember much of Morrowinds writing. Its been over 5 years since I've had a full playthrough and not just mucking about. It did have the best battles taunts 'n'wah, die fetcher, I'm stooooopid' On a side note, the most metal guy I have ever seen just entered the library
TheNexus100 02.27.13	lol havey only mods necessary for morrowind are graphics/sound mods and possibly movement mods. the content of the game is incredible without any mods. oblivion is just a shitty rpg for a shitty person
ITsHxCTOASTER 02.27.13	If for 26 you're talking about Star Fox Assault that game sucks a fat one, I mean I liked it as a kid but it's awful now. On a completely unrelated note, Kirby Air Ride still rules if you only play City Trial
Vakarian12 02.27.13	'SUCH DEEP RPG MASTERPIECES LIKE MASS EFFECT' This is true.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	mass effect 1 is the worst rpg ive ever played dragon age origins was also terrible
apert 02.27.13	almost every sputnik gaming thread turns into a which TES game is the best?
TheNexus100 02.27.13	lol i totally agree the writing for mass effect 1 was beyond beyond beyond beyond horrible. Absolutely offensively bad. DAO had mediocre writing and some of the worst lore ever
Vakarian12 02.27.13	agree on DA. Completely, totally and utterly disagree on ME.
apert 02.27.13	also bioshock 2 over the original????
Calc 02.27.13	jesus christ people....does the writing of super mario bros offend you too?
WashboardSuds 02.27.13	people are too fucking picky with their games
apert 02.27.13	fuck all this ME hate, series is solid. Sure its not the most RPGy of RPGs and the 3rd one was a borderline action game at points, but it had an engaging story and characters i actually gave a shit about unlike so many other RPGs
TheNexus100 02.27.13	disagree all you want broski mass effect has terrible characters, a horrendously bland storyline, awful gameplay, no organization and stupid lore
TheNexus100 02.27.13	you gave a shit about the characters in ME? holy shit how
TheNexus100 02.27.13	its all good all they gotta know is its all about morrowind for life k guiz
apert 02.27.13	Nexus, all that is opinion
Vakarian12 02.27.13	'mass effect has terrible characters' Garrus, Wrex, Thane, Mordin, Liara. I could continue 'awful gameplay' ME1? Yes. ME2 and 3? Hell no. 'a horrendously bland storyline' No. Just no.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	obviously its all opinion but i dont see how anybody could enjoy that series so much. And I heard the 3rd is the worst. How something can be worse than me1 or me2 i will never figure out
TheNexus100 02.27.13	the storyline in ME sucks. get over it. its stupid and generic, not at all interesting. ME2 and 3's gameplay doesn't warrant a hell no for someone calling it shit. ME 1 has atrocious gameplay, 2 and 3 just have average cover based shooter gameplay not to mention 90 percent of the few good rpg elements in ME1 were taken out. Dialogue and conversations are offensively stupid and dull. Shephard is the most boring protagonist ever. ME1 was the most boring game i think ive ever played it was so bad
TheNexus100 02.27.13	omg lakes you played both witchers?
apert 02.27.13	wait, how are the witcher games not very RPGish?
Calc 02.27.13	once the witcher 4 comes out lakes will change his tone to the next up and coming series.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	the combat in witcher 1 sucked. game was great though. Witcher 2 was slightly better and overall fucking excellent. Fantastic story and lore also lakes PLAY DARK SOULS GET THE PC PORT
apert 02.27.13	yeah witcher 2 is awesome, and seriously how can you not have play dark souls lakes, probably best RPG of this gen
Vakarian12 02.27.13	combat is witcher 2 sucked. I hated it, worst part of the game. Nothing but rolling around. Everything else ruled, hard.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	yea their pretty close but witcher 2 had the more engrossing story overall and way more fluid combat. A nice combo of both would make the witcher 3 hella good.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	yea i used to be like dark souls and demons souls overrated probz than i played demons souls best game ive ever played then played dark souls for 100 plus hours probably the other best game ever omg what a series so far
TheNexus100 02.27.13	just prepare lakes....dark souls has no story details. One arc given in the beginning (the lore of dark souls is incredible but the story is like non existent and barely mentioned) and it's much more centered around trial and error, exploration, secrets, amazing multiplayer/pvp and level design. Don't expect any story though.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	technically witcher 2 is open world as well......technically. i dont agree with most of your criticisms but what I will say is the map lay outs were TERRIBLE. so fucking bad dear god
apert 02.27.13	there is story in Dark Souls, its just not on the surface. You have to dig deep to find, by like reading all the item descriptions and shit and listening to everything every NPC says
apert 02.27.13	dark souls is definitely harder than witcher 2. has a really steep learning curve
TheNexus100 02.27.13	lol most people will tell you its the hardest game ever. heres what i'll say. If you dont start with Demons Souls, it will be very, very challenging. If you think youre never going to rage quit and youll only die a couple times youre wrong. If you get a torrented version the experience won't be as epic because you won't have the multiplayer/pvp options which are incredibly inventive and a must see for anyone playing the game. Also, if you literally don't look anything up, you will miss 75 percent of the optional content on your first playthrough. It is incredibly cryptic and almost stoic. No directions or major order to do things in besides a few bosses. Game is completely open from the beginning and nothing scales with you. You could start and go to the right place or you could start and go to the catacombs and get mutilated
Keyblade 02.27.13	that's what i'm talking about...much better list
TheNexus100 02.27.13	apert agreed. its told through environment and lore. but truth be told the story itself is so subtle it really is barely there at times. and still, that doesn't hamper the experience, in any way. Also Lakes if you torrent a version good luck doing Anor Londo or Tomb of the Giants without summoning anyone bahahaha
TheNexus100 02.27.13	yea lakes dark souls is a lot harder than the witcher. the fights are harder, the levels are harder to navigate and there are no directions after the tutorial
TheNexus100 02.27.13	yeah obvs. There's sure more complicated games than Dark Souls but if you really spend time with it you learn a lot about it's world, and you see how much depth there is. There's a lot more than what you will see in the first 40 hours or so, if you even make it that long. Looking shit up won't ruin the experience completely, but looking nothing up is almost certain death. you wont have a weapon that does shit you won't know where your going that challenge might be perfect for you lakes but believe me it gets frustrating
TheNexus100 02.27.13	im actually finding playthrough 2 very easy and its scaled so you start over with everything but the game is 40 percent harder
apert 02.27.13	yeah i found NG+ alot easier as well, alot of the difficulty of the game is not knowing what the fuck to do, or where to go, or what tactics to use etc. once you beat the game once its all about just honing technique and then you can get through the whole game with only a handful of deaths
TheNexus100 02.27.13	absolutely agreed. found most of the bosses on NG plus a lot easier for me too, I mean sure I knew what I was going into but I didn't struggle a lot. The dlc bosses were hard though. Knight Artorias on NG plus was dreadful without any other players.
apert 02.27.13	DLC bosses were some of the trickiest for me, Manus and Kalameet in probably in my top 3 hardest bosses with 4 kings
Cygnatti 02.27.13	That reservoir of teenage angst Lakes built up inside of him over that girl allotted him the energy and moxie to hijack Gia's thread.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	4 kings were so easy i got obliterated the first time but noticed the spawn timing of the kings and how little damage they did. ran in and just hit them as quick as possible and won in about 2 minutes. artorias, ornstein/smough and lord gwyn (yes i struggled a lot with him ahaha) were the hardest for me. Bed of Chaos was unfair
Calc 02.27.13	every single video game thread on this site congeals into a dark souls discussion. every. single. one.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	maybe cause its the best game evr
Calc 02.27.13	maybe.
TheNexus100 02.27.13	fallout 1 is sick betrayal at krondor would probably make my gf break up with me arena is harder than dark souls
TheNexus100 02.27.13	never got out of the first dungeon daggerfall is like the same thing. i just play that. its hard to play because of how primitive it is but the quests are so fucking cool and the dungeons are fucking nutz
Cygnatti 02.27.13	"how did u know" you don't hide things well from me, Lakes. O_O
Winrar 02.27.13	every single video game thread on this site congeals into a dark souls discussion. every. single. one. because the game rules and omg im going to make a dark souls list
MeatSalad 02.27.13	sexual rrrrrintercourse!
Storm In A Teacup 02.27.13	The boss fight on Dante's Inferno is an example of how to do a final boss fight right. Make it frustrating as fuck and you die fifty times before just barely winning.
Storm In A Teacup 02.27.13	What's Dark Souls about? Never even heard of it
ohfoxxxycole 02.27.13	fuck yes doom you included doom !!!!!!!
ohfoxxxycole 02.27.13	omg im rushing over there now
ohfoxxxycole 02.27.13	nvm it is old the only way with doom is recent
ohfoxxxycole 02.27.13	are you booker t right now or did you mistype
Shuyin 02.27.13	the old doom games rule harder than 3, killing hordes of hell monsters and kickass music m/
GiaNXGX 02.27.13	so I turned off my computer because I had to practice chemistry and physics and when I come back my 33 games I love list has almost 200 comments, lol wtf. I like Oblivion because I'm not comparing it to any other TED game, believe it or not I don't have Skyrim so I can't formulate a concrete argument of this vs this + contrast between both/games. Only thing I can really say is that I enjoyed playing the game and besides a few complains in cliched dungeons I like the game.
ethixx 02.27.13	amazing list wow but where's donkey kong country 2 though
GiaNXGX 07.02.13	bmup
Winsomniac 07.02.13	Someone's clearly not a bad enough dude to rescue the president from NINJAS...
Mister Twister 07.02.13	No Metal Slug, list sucks
GiaNXGX 07.02.13	stfu
MisterTornado 07.02.13	runescape
Cygnatti 07.02.13	I adore this list omg.
Havey 07.02.13	nah it's the worst list by a death metal list ever.
GiaNXGX 07.02.13	list would've been okay had you never commented laker, videogame elitists fuck e'm :D live lyfe
GiaNXGX 07.02.13	fuck bitches get the money lubricated bananas
bach 07.02.13	Fuckin' excellent list. And 18's artwork intrigues me.
cagedescending 07.02.13	amazing list wow but where's donkey kong country 2 though [2]
GiaNXGX 07.02.13	for the same reason MIT dorms are full of world of warcraft fraggets
bach 07.02.13	It's a fun game.
GiaNXGX 07.02.13	whatcha know about transcendency
keyokeyo 07.02.13	Props for 18, 22, 32
Inveigh 07.02.13	good list (from what I've actually played, which means games released before the current millennium) but where the fuck is symphony of the night
cagedescending 07.02.13	disturbing lack of deus ex too now that i think about it
GnarlyShillelagh 07.02.13	Nobody fucking likes pong quit trying to be cool
Cygnatti 07.02.13	Lakie, pong introduced a whole new way transcend life itself. How is that not enough for you?
cagedescending 07.02.13	pong is zen as fuck
Cygnatti 07.02.13	Lakes, you know that if I knew caveman music an it was recorded, yeah I'd probably really dig that.
GiaNXGX 07.02.13	i have actually http://rateyourmusic.com/release/comp/various_artists_f2/pictures_of_sound__one_thousand_years_of_educed_audio__980_1980/
bach 07.02.13	before we were around, Pong was a fuck ton better than hitting rocks with bats. There's your essay on transcendence.
Havey 07.02.13	Of course we'd want to listen to cavemen banging their sticks against rocks in a rhythmic, repetitive motion!
GiaNXGX 07.02.13	our ancester's drone :O
Mister Twister 07.02.13	Still needs Metal Slug, IMO. Maybe because I just played through Metal Slug 3, but meh. I wanna try King of Fighters, but they discontinued the game being shipped to where I live almost right after it was launched. I mean, the newest one was out for a few weeks and I couldn't get it. Meh, there's no fighting game scene here anyways, and I've heard the online play is piss-poor.
acorncheese 07.02.13	just played the new tomb raider. gameplay is 100% identical to uncharted series. actually pretty good.
Mongi123 07.02.13	Bioshock 2 has nothing on 1 and infinite
