What should I ask for this Christmas???

[DrSpike]

I like the genre generally. The Monkey island series (different subgenre maybe ) is my favourite, but I also liked Broken Sword (more like Longest Journey) and Discworld Noir, which was quite a unique game. I'd recommend that one if you missed it and have a passing interest in either the Discworld or film noir.

Well I hated Morrowind because of its interface. Neverwinter Nights is better.

I came accross a poster in a ES forum, complaing about the lack of keyboard shortcuts and over use of the mouse.

A Bethesda programmer replied saying that everyone lobbied against keyboard shortcuts, and they delivered.


Solver: If you don't mind drag and drop... then MW isn't that bad of a interface. I suggest the PC version if you can get it, so you'll be able to grab Tribunal as well.

I remember reading a lot about this when it was released, but I never saw a copy. Is it good? I like adventure games with strong stories.

The Longets Journey is great. The story is real great. So if you like adventure games, with a great story...then this is the one...

Maybe Santa can hunt it down in a bargain bin somewhere.

while you're at it, ask Santa for DN:forever
did he stash it somewhere

I second this.

Another great game might be Simcity4 for you- when it comes out that is (soon).

I hate sim city *gasp*.

Yes, you read it right, I hate sim city, the sims, and sim anything else. The open-endedness makes me want to reach for my mouse cord and use it to strangle myself. Give me a game with a well-defined goal any day. Since this is going to generate some discussion I will start a "I hate sim city" thread.

Hence I wont be buying sim city 4000.

Yes, SimCity 4 will be a much better game, but the title of this thread is: "What should I ask for Christmas", while SimCity 4 wont be out before the end of January...

That's the good part of SimCity, there's no ending. But if you really want to have a goal, just make one up, yourself (Saying: "Before year x, I'll have y inhabitants", or "The game will end year x. The number of inhabitants/money will set the highscore")

I guess you wont be able to buy SimCity 4000, since the next SimCity, will be SimCity 4

[DrSpike]

It just seems like 4000.

Anyway, post in the I hate sim city thread why I am wrong to hate it.

I find the open endd-ness fun with lots of replay value (I though The Sims was broing as hell, once mouth 2 came,) but if you don't like find, I don't know why raping hoos (or is it just killing? Anthoer thing, why is that sure a challenge? ), beatting up cops, and killing incontes peolpe is fun? (I think I just said what you do in Grand Feith Auto 3, (sorry for the spelling if I'm wrong...) from news reports...) I'll just stick to 007 & Diver.

Civ3, though if you can get another game, I'd recommend Tropico.

Definitely not. Civ 3 may not be great, but Tropico is definitely crap.

Alaully, I found it fun, but I had to chop it off so I could get Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 with a Micorsoft WingMan (I think thats what its called) for Christmas.
