Planescape: Torment. I have never been so profoundly impacted by any other game.

 

I view it more of an experience rather then a game, for I feel its unique story, warped world, lovable characters and deep philosophical concepts allow it to transcend gaming itself.

 

It wins by abit over Thief II.

My favorite game of all time would have to be WWF No Mercy. I had so much fun playing that game with friends. It beats any wrestling game made after by far. The control scheme was simple and effective. A close second would be Goldeneye 007 and maybe NBA Live '96 for the Super Nintendo.

 

It's a shame that the games these days are sacrificing gameplay for graphics. I'm tired of the cinematic experience.

 

Give me a game that will keep me playing for more than a week. :)

Ergh..

 

Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Doom II

Red Alert 2

Street Fighter Alpha 3

Diablo II

Unreal Tournament (1)

 

Which of those depends on how I'm feeling on the day. Can't choose just one.

I liked Alpha 2 more than Alpha 3. The other problem I had with Alpha 3 is doing the Super's. I never could figure out how to do them. I always was too lazy to research how to pull them off. I'm just not a big fan of this "groove" like system.

The groove system only got ridiculous in CvS2. In A3, it was pretty basic.

 

X was like Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

A was more or less like Alpha 2.

V was just ass stupid and I, to this day, pretend it wasn't in the game.

 

Dunno why you had a problem with the supers- the commands were the same as A2's?

Sonic 3 & Knuckles

 

Despite what most people think or say, this is arguably the best Sonic game, with the exception of Sonic CD on some levels. I think the reason why this one wasn't really honored as much as the second installment was probably because:

 

- The sprite for Sonic was changed?

- There were save slots?

- The original game actually wasn't the complete game because the remaining stages were in another cartridge?

- The camera being able to keep up with Sonic now?

- The new emerald bonus stages?

- The new emeralds that were introduced?

- The new Metal Sonic that was created?

- Ditching many water based stages?

- A bogus and non epic boss match that was actually only just a regular boss made for the transition from Launch Base to Mushroom Zone?

- The introduction of Knuckles?

- New items that gave you different abilities?

- The new "flash" attack Sonic obtained?

- Being able to fly with Tails?

- The innovate boss matches?

I don't have big problems with any of those things- my argument for Sonic 2 would just be that it was a longer cohesive game. Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles on their own don't pack as much of a punch as Sonic 2. They really need to be together to stand as strong as they should have if S3 wasn't rushed out the door.

 

My question is thus; what is so special about Sonic CD? Having played it years later the whole thing seems less polished than Sonic 2 or 3. The movement is not very responsive, the boss designs are poor, and the whole time travel feature seemed tacked on- palate swapped levels substituting for a larger zone count.

I doubt this has been done before, I know it's been with separate systems, but this is everything! If you could only play 1 game for the rest of your life, what game would that be?

 

I'd pick, Guild Wars.

 

It would depend on whether I had Internet access or not! World of Warcraft probably for the number of players if I did have online access and Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core since I like the chaos of that game. :peopleseybrow:
