I'd keep coming because this site is the only one whose videos seem to load during lunch at my work (most of the rest get blocked off). However, I don't generally agree with the direction of the reviews in this site (almost always perfect reviews for AAA titles and generally mediocre reviews...

1) Baldur's Gate 1 (Only game I can feel safe calling "flawless") 2) Morrowind (Unmatched immersion factor... makes me feel like I'm actually adventuring in a magical realm; unbounded freedom) 3) Fallout 2 (Makes you feel like you're really in the unforgiving wasteland... I liked FO3 but FO2...

Huh, only one mention of Wiegraf/Velius from Final Fantasy Tactics? I guess only one other person has played that game. Unbelievably hard boss whose 2nd form has 2 ridiculously overpowered henchmen which regenerate, plus 100% success-rate ranged petrify, the most powerful summon in the game...

I think we need to stop calling out people who get upset when a company makes a deliberately controversial move in order to monetize. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make money, but when they have a popular franchise like DA or ME, they typically have a lot of people who become attached to...

The main difference is that EC put thought into their episodes and Jim just rants about his own opinion. It doesn't surprise me that most people seem to prefer the latter, because it tends to require less thinking, but EC seems to be the only animated source of well-thought arguments about the...

Reckoning didn't revolutionize RPG combat. Many RPGs before it had the "Press X to win!!!11!!1" mechanic, including DA2. Reckoning just made it extra shiny and fast-paced.

Not. Even. Remotely. Close.

Without a doubt I'd say the original Baldur's Gate (although I liked BG2, albeit a little less), with Morrowind as a very close second. No game has evoked similar emotion or levels of immersion ffom me... in fact, no other game has come even remotely close. Compared to Morrowind, Skyrim is...

Granted I'm new to posting in the forum, but I've lurked around for a bit; I figured that since DA2 got in the list, and I know the forums exploded in the past with bile and hatred over that game in the past, I figured anything would be possible.

Predicting CoD at #2 and Skyrim at #1... neither would be my personal choices, but they would be understandable.

I'm a bit confused about you. Judging by the fact your avatar is Frank Horrigan, the villain from Fallout 2, I would guess that you are a fan of that game. This seems to be somewhat of a double standard, seeing as how Fallout 2 did not 'innovate' that much from the original Fallout (despite...

I won't go too far because I doubt this will go anywhere... but yeah, I wouldn't expect the characterization to get screwed up by Bioware, and they delivered in this department (despite the only viable healer being rather intolerable). The problem, as I mentioned, is that the gameplay was shite...

First off, no, I don't think they would do that. I also didn't think my phrase would be taken literally. Second, I'm sorry, but I can only partially agree with your other statement; yes, Dragon Age 2 had balls, but only in the sense that they had the balls to pull a bait-and-switch scheme on...

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome =). I'm kind of surprised my emotional reply was taken so literally. It was meant as an expression, kind of like "who did X have to sleep with to get that job!?". I get very worked up about DA2, mainly because I feel it has taken my most beloved hobby (namely RPG...

I wonder how much EA had to pay to get DA2 up there. With all the overall negative reception DA2 got (other than by pro reviewers, of course), it will be a shame to see all the excellent games that didn't make this list. Damn I hate that game.
