X-COM 2 Done a ridiculous amount of playthroughs on PC consoles and Mobile
Are we the same person?I have a few for different platofrms.
PS1 - Metal gear solid, i remember having it on a demo disc and played through it many times until i finally got the game and i think its the only game i have replayed 10+ times all the way through.
PC Online gaming- 3 games, Delta force 2 & Delta Force Black Hawk down, i played the crap out of these online and joined a clan and played matches, which was extremely fun and look back on them days fondly, still great friends with a few people 15 years later! And of course WoW Vanilla, nothing quite like it back in the day and i remember my first raiding experiences with 40 people, what a time that was!
Battlefield 2 - Spent hundreds of hours on this... between 2005 and 2008. It had a certain feel to it that I just didn't find in the later iterations.
to be fair you can ignore a lot of the stuff in ED and play it just like Frontier. the only thing you can't really do is fight thargoids as that needs special weapons but other than that all the extra stuff like engineering can be ignored so long as you don't want to PvP. all engineering do is allow you to melt NPC's faster.... but they are beatable withoutFrontier: Elite 2 on the Amiga
The whole vastness of a full galaxy where you can travel to any star system. Simple mechanics - pick up and deliver, assassinate, smuggle, gain rep with just a few factions. Much simpler compared to Elite dangerous, too much to do in that game, much like what WoW has become. Speaking of WoW, that is very, very close to my top spot.
OK, thats something I didn't know. I purchased ED on release and gave it about 6 months. I check up on the content every now and then but not actually played it since those 6 months at the start. Can I still play it solo with out any other real players? If I can I may give it another go. I did like playing it but all the added stuff made me not want to as I said, too much.to be fair you can ignore a lot of the stuff in ED and play it just like Frontier. the only thing you can't really do is fight thargoids as that needs special weapons but other than that all the extra stuff like engineering can be ignored so long as you don't want to PvP. all engineering do is allow you to melt NPC's faster.... but they are beatable without
indeed one of my irks with ED is that so much of the content is ignorable. it's like a series of features many of which are not really meshed together
