Comment on "Best 20 PC - Games in History"

Funny thing, in the last part of the game you can see scenes from previous sequels, I really thought that this is the last in the series. It would be better if it was. MI4 is for kids only and they ruined the whole ambience by introducing tourists. And I don't think the sequels will be any better. Quote:
And the physics add much to experience. Units accelerate and decelerate when moving and turning (which makes them more alive), unlike C&C units that first rotate 'till they're heading in the right direction then they simply start moving at constant speed until they get where you ordered them - too boring to watch. This game introduced many innovations into genre and I have yet to see a RTS as playable as Total Annihilation. (The face of red alert fan after reading this post: :evil:) BTW, I must try out Outcast. Really look like a great game. |
if you can find outcast and if you can find the patch for it
get it! Outcast has excellent graphics (voxel... but still nice... I could still play it again) very big quite a few quests which actually relate to the story and quite a good story. It has some humor in it aswell... you can see it was made by Belgians who were upset with the poor support for programmers and technology in belgium from the following ingame quotes: 1) "we succeed... the drone we launched went through the portal into a completely new dimension" "where did you end up... Belgium?" 2) "enormous humidity and idiots everywhere... I was right... this IS Belgium" or something like that and one of the best musical soundtracks in a game EVER BY The Moscow Symphony Orchestra! Perhaps somebody could put it on the site... the music is easily extracted from the CD. really a pity outcast II never made it... the preview graphics looked breathtaking... |
I've seen some impressive claims about game's AI. Each creature should look after itself and have instinct based behavior, even some memory of events that took place. Do you remember creature's AI being exceptional?

well I know soldiers would hide behind rocks and such...
and the NPC's would kinda react towards your actions (if you killed someone innocent and then completed another quest the reward would be smaller) if you killed a whole bunch of good people, friendly NPCs would not help you. In each region your main subquest is to convince people to stop working and start fighting soldiers this would reduce the health of soldiers if you stopped production in the 'rice' fields and fishing region, lower soldier morale if you stopped the people from paying their taxes, lower their weapon effectiveness if you stopped weapons production. but nothing really outstanding... not that I remember (its been a long time since I played it) oh wait I do think people would stop and bow for you if you were really helpfull to the people |
I saw Outcast on budget in the shops a few months back but I didn't bother getting it. It wasn't my type of game. A friend of mine told me it was great but he had not played it himself and he is easy to be dragged into a hype. Might check it out if I see it again.

outcast is all but a hype
I mean until I visited this site I felt like the only person that ever ehard of the game |

so that would explain why, whenever I ask someone if they ehard about outcast, they look at me in a funny way and eventually ask "are you talking about Jedi Outcast?"
no, there are very few people I have met that have played the game, or ehared of it... and I'm a regular at quite a few forums! |

I have heard of Outcast so have most of the people around me eventhough neither I nor anyone else I know has actually played the game. It has been reviewed in many of the larger games magazines. That's what I call a well known game. |
alright alright
sorry jeesh anyway for such a well-known gale I sure would like to meet a few more people tot alk to about it |
I think this topic should be locked, because discussing other people's opinions generates unnecessary arguments.Advice to moderator:lock this topic.
|
Discussion is what a board is all about. I see no reason to lock this just because people are voicing their opinions. In fact I encourage it.
|
The criticism of a opinion is what democracy is all about :)
|
and then there is attack on another persons private oppinion...
Anyway, since noone COMPLAINED, and i can't realy see any personal attacks, i'll leave this open for now.. |
Okay, but keep an eye on it :shock: .Things can get out of hand in this topic
|
too bad you can't nominate more than 10 games...i'm thinking like...30 games :wink:
|
I read the forum 3-4 times / day...

The first game i played on a pc ever was Alley cat... :) And the first game i played was lunar rescue. It was the first arcade machine on a cafe here, and people was standing in rows to play! ( im talking about 1981 of course :P )
|
Space invaders or Digger. One of the two anyway. Space Quest also. I never played on those big arcade things.
|
I think the best game ever for me personally is anything on the Atari 2600! hehe I remember Q+bert being on the Atari 2600 even then and the Atari 2600 has a controller where I would play it so much it would literally crack at the base! Those were some good times. Dig Dug is another classic. Now there is the imitation Digger out. Lode Runner. etc. Those Atari 2600 days were the best. 1982!!! yh# A lot of those games are on DOS too so good to relive those classics. I was only 8 years old at the time. Now I continue to feel young however I am a man now.

For me, the best games were Atari ST series, based on the Motorola 68000 processor, with 512 KB of RAM and a 3.5-inch drive as a storage device. This computer was similar to other machines of that time based on Motorola 68000 - Apple Macintosh and Commodore Amiga. In addition, later models were with blitter.
