* note to Solver; learn to spot a joke in the post above.


Yet you have no problem nuking an entire civilisation?

Indeed I don't Civ isn't a game with a story. Hey, I'm weird that way!

Why did you bother playing it then?

Saint's Row (a GTA clone) has the cool feature whereby you can customize your character. Mine looks like Mr T.

My next one is going to look like Travis Bickle.

In this modern world, how can you not identify with the bad guys when the good guys are so lame?

Everyone was sooo excited about GTA:SA that I just had to see what the fuss is all about. You better tell me how to identify with bad guys

Play NWA's Straight Outta Compton at a loud volume while you play.

Either that, or pretend you are Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver.

Solver, you don't play as a bad guy, you play as a good guy stuck in a bad world. It's a hard knock life.

indeed it is, indeed it is.

Most notably:

Baldur's Gate series
StarCraft

Don't like the RTS genre too much, allthough I was a wee bit fond of Warcraft II (best game in that series, IMHO). I like games where I can build up slowly, taking my time about it, and then smash everyone when I am so overwhelmingly (sp?) strong that I am Godlike

As for BG, I just couldn't get into it. Don't really know why.

Age of Empires
Any MMORPG (I refuse to pay monthly to play a game)
Civ 3 (Oh wait everybody hated that)

[Traianvs]

Halo
Counterstrike
Red Alert 2
Morrowind (I never hated it; even played it for a while until I found out there was nothing to do at all. Everything seemed and felt quite pointless)

I think the gaming scene was very different when myst came out. The graphics where snappy for the time, and games could cater to an older computer dork market - the first wave of computer geeks - who didn't grow up with computer games, and would tend to like things more slow paced and intelectual, like the brain teasers that they are probably more familiar with.

Myst was big for people who owned Macs. It was about the only Mac exclusive (at the time, IIRC) game that was any good.

Total Annhilation
Devil May Cry
