if they re-made the classic multy player into online I believe it would be a hit, who doesn't want to be a cave man stealing a egg from giant raptors?Trotgar said:
The Dig, an old LucasArts adventure game from 1996 or '97 or so. Not very famous, but it had top-notch production values for games at the time, having been produced by Stephen Spielberg, with dialogue written by Orson Scott Card, and the guy who played the T-1000 in Terminator 2 as the voice of Huston Lowe, the main character. Ordinarily that all wouldn't be very fascinating, but this was the time when LucasArts' cleverness department still included names like Tim Schafer. I don't believe he worked on The Dig, but as far as LucasArts' adventure games went The Dig was top-notch, isolating players on an abandoned, far-off alien world and really making you feel like you were there through the puzzles as you attempted to decipher bizarre technology. It's one of the best marryings of setting and gameplay I've seen apart from Riven. Yet nobody ever talks about it...
Absolutely. I found Bully more engaging, fun and immersive than any GTA game.The Austin said:miracleofsound said:
The one open world game that actually made me feel like I was there.
Dark Cloud, you think they would get more mention.Ciarang said:
I've actually played both of them but never saw the ending to the first one.
Definitely Planetside, as buggy as it has become, it has been the only moderately successful MMOFPS I can think of. Best. Genre. Ever.
Wild Arms specifically Wild Arms 3 as that was one of the two I've played the other being 4. IT has a such a cool Wild West motif. Most times I mention the series most people remember 4, it has an awesome battle system but dropped the Wild West thing in favor of a more generic setting.
Also I'm with the Tales people as well. Namco loves keeping it to themselves.

This thread has reminded me of some great games. I highly commend those who said Vigilante 8 and Persona 3 (I've forced all my friends into watching me play, and successfully hooked 5 of them).
For me, I'd say ActRaiser for the SNES. It was a combination of a SimCity-esque town builder and side-scrolling platformer. Somehow, it worked, and it worked well.
EDIT: Also the Tales games, but specifically, I wish Tales of the Abyss would get more love. It has one of the best combat systems I've ever seen, a better storyline, and only one character that I'd murder in her sleep if it was a sandbox game.
Additionally, Quest 64, for, well, N64. A lot of this game was admittedly bad, but the battle system was the best blend of real-time and turn-based that I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to Project Zero/Fatal Frame 4 on the Wii.VaudevillianVeteran said:
That game was awesome; it was too short, but almost perfectly paced.AdmiralWolverineLightningbolt said:
Sorry to say it, but I hated The Dig. It seemed to place being 'artistic' and 'pretentious' above actually being fun.NickCaligo42 said:
