Don't heed the call of Oblivion. It has no substance. Check out Morrowind, or better yet Daggerfall. I personally have not played the latter, but I've heard so much about it. The features Daggerfall has to offer are too numerous to list here. I suggest looking up researching Daggerfall. It is...

Secret boss battles were sweet. And yeah, I wish achievements were less trivial and more creative. There are some good ones, such as carrying the gnome to the rocket ship in Half Life 2: Episode 2. It seems kind of tedious, but it adds a pretty interesting challenge to the game. I often find...

Achievements have always been a selling point, in one way or another. I heard somewhere that having achievements in a game increases sales by around 33%.

Indeed.

GoW 2 was so loaded with nonsense. The time travel was just the final insult. On another note, Kratos was so skewed and easily manipulated throughout the whole game that I wonder if the developers were just writing in some inside joke of theirs. I feel as if the player was manipulated the whole...

Never played that game, but it seems you killed the Terminator. That spy sounds scary as hell.

I warms me to know that other people share the same enmity for 2.

It's good to see another with a passion for writing and video game stories. I'll check that link out in a moment.

hahaha

I'm thinking someone should play Impossible Creatures. It's this thread, but in game form.

Those other games don't exist to me. In the grand scheme, they don't really matter to the story. 3 vaguely references them a few times, but nothing of significance seems to come of it. From what I can tell, they just warped the overall story even more and added all sorts of contradictions and...

WoW had a bunch of memorable moments for me. Most of those moment involved my friends. I had one like this in one of the newer instances (the first Icecrown instance) I, a paladin, was tanking, and my friend, also a paladin, was playing healer. Our party burned maybe 20% if the last boss'...

Hah, nice! My friends have just found a vanilla private server after months of searching. They desperately want me to play. WoW had the potential for loads of glorious moments in its hay day. Not so much anymore.

As much as I'd love to agree with you, for my sake, I have to assert that the story (of the first at least) isn't as bad as people tend to think. I understand that it is a gore fest, and that it re-wrote the mythology, but there are many things to appreciate in the character-driven story...

Congrats! This reminds me of a glorious moment I shared with my team in Halo 2. I don't remember the name of the map, but it was in a dark cavern filled with stalagmites and stalactites. It was snipers and swords only, and the player numbers were set to the max. There were 3 teams, if I...
