:(

so do you spend most of the time Driving or on foot. If its the former then its not a 3rd person shooter!!

true there is lots of driving but the game is in the third person action. it'd be pretty close minded to call it a driving game...

though i guess it could go in the 'crime' section with GTA:SA etc. at a push

Well no, because Meta Critic's user rating is not THIS FORUMS rating. And getting people to post a score that isn't biased is quite hard.

Also the meta critic information is just that, information, you can take the score as gospel truth or click it and find out more.

With regards to Deus Ex, if you filter the category's any more it'll become stupid and technically deus ex is first person and you do shoot.

ok i accept what your saying about the metacritic thing (though one wonders if you work for them lol)

Though my own opinion is that all magazine/paid for reviews are guff and user opinions are more honest and raw.

As for Deus Ex.... please ohhh God please tell me youve played it.

Its a first person RPG = FPS-RPG.

Ohh look Oblivion is First Person i can shoot things in that so gee why isnt that in FPS?

And dude you havent added...

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines to your FPS-RPG section

or if you dont want to create a FPS-RPG section then stick it in rpg section.

add all these to your RPG section cheers.

Planescape Torment
Baldurs Gate
Baldurs Gate 2
Baldurs Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal
Icewind Dale 1 + 2
Gothic 2
Wizardry Gold
Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura


add these to your Simulation section

Silent Hunter 3
Silent Hunter 4

add Battlefield 2142 to your Multiplayer FPS section


also add Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Thief 3. I'll wait and see which section you think they should be in.......

also no list is complete without a Pirates section :p

you forgot to add

The Longest Journey

and i guess you're still thinking about where to put

Splinter Cell 3: Chaos Theory
Thief 3

i dont know what madness came over you to stick city building/simulations in the same category when they are nothing like each other. Sim city and Silent hunter....

edit. pirate games?? i guess you dont think that pirates are good enough to be in your list? :D


i dont think i will contribute further tbh... its quite clear its YOUR list. I disagree completely with how you're doing it but hey its your list.


p.s. you didnt say whether you had actually played Deus ex :/

Right, i don't know what your problem is, but you need to sort it out.

I don't forget to add anything, if you don't tell me what to put and where to put it, i cant put it anywhere can i?

I've never played Sim City 4 or Silent hunter and have no intention too, so i have no idea where they go, that's why you need to tell me.

Pirate games, you've given me 1 game, I'm not creating a sub category for 1 game.

Its my list, yet every game listed has been contributed by everyone else?

Its my post, so I'll update it when i can and with the information I'm provided.

And if you feel that strongly that its "MY LIST" then don't bother posting, you've been very negative from the minute you made your first post.

I cant put this in any simpler English.... IF you want something added, TELL ME and I'll add it.

Don't say "what would you call Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines?" and expect me to understand you want me to add the game to the list. I cant read minds.

Oh and if you still think its my list, then wait about 30mins as i sort it alphabetically after Taz488 suggested it.

Call of duty 2 and 4 for multi player fps...how can you miss them?

and alphabetical would be better :)
Click to expand...

Call of Duty 2 and 4 both have heavy single player campaigns, which would make them single player games first, multi player 2nd.

What are they?

Superior? Better ? Nicer to play ? More addicting ?

or do u mean the names ? :
Test Drive unlimited ( http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/testdriveunlimited?q=test drive unlimited 79)
Live for Speed ( http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/liveforspeed?q=live for speed, no score yet, users voted 9.3 out of 10 tho there )
Need for speed Underground 2 ( http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/needforspeedunderground2?q=Need for speed Underground 82 score)


Imo offcourse, but I think Carbon is a very bad game and can't compare with the 3 above games.


Like some guy said b4 tho, add Mafia, it's a Crime game.

Score : 88

Edit: Updated

Just want to say well done to Teki187. This is a great idea :D I've already added two games to my wish list thanks to this thread.
 
I, in all honesty, don't think aoe is that great these days, I've played it to the death for years, both aoe 1 and aoe 2 + expansions, but somehow now I'ts boring and much prefer to fire up M2:TW or Supcom instead.
Do people these days still play aoe2 a lot ?

I mean some games, eg. RA2, Pharaoh, are still awesome to play now, but aoe feels like it's surpassed by newer games.


@ Tenki187, have you seen my edit in my older post about mafia, some other guy liked it too, perhaps a gd idea to add it?

On the subject of Pharaoh, anyone no any new games along the same lines. I tried the tycoon games but they where v easy and having loads of money in the bank didnt seem as good as having warehouses packed full of exotic goods. Simcity 4 is very good but without objectives to follow I got bored.
