Which game would you defend to the death?

[Tediore]

Four pages and not one person has mentioned Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter

Woe is me

 

[iamtheoneneo]

panzer dragoon saga
shenmue

classic games that dont need defending really but you always get some numpte.

I think Nexus: The Jupiter incident for me. Not that its the best game ever, but it got slated a bit and I think its a bit of a hidden gem.

It certainly was a hidden gem, great game that, now that you reminded me of it, might just have to get reinstalled again

Mine would have to be Bioshock. I know there is not much love for it on here for some reason. But i think it is probably my favourite game ever, and i do not get how someone couldn't like it

Because it's boring and isn't System Shock. And Shodan would kick the crap out of Ayn Rand in a fight.

Grim fandango ! nothing like it since

 

[Nate75]

This one got battered in the press (SC)

But I loved it!

Mirrors Edge & Zelda the windwaker.

 

[Rimsy]

Ultima Online & Zelda on the snes.

UO remains by far my favourite game of all time and its a great shame that gaming has moved in such a direction that nothing of that ilk will ever gain much popularity again.

I wouldn't defend any game in such a manner because I'm not a fanboy

 

[Muzza1875]

The original Metal Gear Solid!, my fav game and the greatest game in history in my opinion

 

[Saundie]

The only game I'm fanatic enough about to defend is Morrowind. Although I probably spent more time playing EVE Online and The Legend of Mir 2, Morrowind comes close to both in terms of longevity, which is amazing considering it's not an MMO. I had high expectations for Oblivion, and was sorely disappointed when it turned out to be a "Fisher Price: My First RPG".

 

[DisrupTor75]

hang on...what about SWOS (Sensible World Of Soccer)

Surely THE best football game ever made?

 

[Fragalot]

Ultima Online, no mmorpg has even come close since

 

[SixTwoSix]

Deus Ex - the only game I would defend to the death.

The best game ever made

 

[Surfer]

hrmm games i would defend to the death prolly none but there a few whose legend status is without question and its heresy to speak ill of.

Deus Ex

Elite

Arcanum (might fire this up again)

BF2142 (mebbe)

Omikron: The Nomad Soul (revolutionary at the time i reckon)

Was gonna put planescape/baldurs gate etc but the screen flipping was slightly annoying. Its why i preferred Arcanum (in some respects) no screen flipping just one big super giant world.

 

[Sleepery]

It's an RPG from a previous generation (although the person who made the video didnt use the highest gfx settings), and I guess you'd need some interest in the subject matter for the conversation to make sense.

Indeed - I've played the game several times but never gotten that particular conversation. I sat through the whole thing enthralled

No need to defend it mate, so say we all.

Just say 96/7 though, the huge ammount of bugs in the first one are only for the diehards

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

BF2> flawed masterpiece.

Pretty much what I was going to post. It has plenty of faults but it was an epic game.

FF7 was immense too.

 

[silversurfer]

Amok on the Vic 20 circa 1981

The counterstrike of its day except it was stick men, 2D overhead view and no multiplayer but awesome

was an epic game.

was unlikely to ever be beaten is definition of a classic me thinks
