I will definately record a Aquaria arrangement in the near future.

Like, a medley of sorts.

(I thought it fits the thread, having heard Ubik's pretty awesome track there)

I FINALLY FINALLY bought the game and beat it yesterday.

As the video game music maniac that I am, I (of course!) have an opinion to contribute to this thread 

1. Sun Temple
2. Arboreal
3. Sea Horse (or whatever, that racing track stuff)
4. Open Waters #1
5. Inevitable (My heart nearly stopped when that boss appeared, the music played and he approached.... *shivers* You know which one I'm talking about)

Yeah, that's it for now

I recently saw the original ROBOCOP for the very first time.

I was blown away.

No movie will ever even come close to the genius that is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Seriously.

Virt did the music, so this game automatically has to be the tits.

Plus, its Contra.


Too bad I don't think I will be able to get a grasp of this anytime soon since I am a European.

YES! I played that one. Its okay, kinda so-so. Quite unique though as it tries to be a fighting game with a 3rd person camera view...

I even recorded the main theme once. That song is so kickass. The whole soundtrack basically rules.

I really have to A - find a copy of the original, and B - find the new one just to try it.

Also, get the new one in order to hear an updated version of the main theme

I personally can play games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate for hours nonstop, and its huge fun for me.

Neverwinter Nights almost rules even more when played in Multiplayer, so its really not Singleplayer vs. Multiplayer being the issue here.


I think, MMORPGs just boil down to "look I'm so strong" and mindless grinding for me. In classic RPGs, your characters grows more and more powerful, and I sit there thinking "Wow, remember how fragile your character was in the beginning and what a long way he has come?".

When I played WoW for a while (Test account), I felt like: "Oh, great. I'm going to waste a shitload of time in order to reach max level. And that is not even special. Look at all those max level guys."

I really have the feeling that a "max level character" should be like... "OH MY GOD, THE LEGEND IS HERE!" and superstar-like status in the game's world.
If a game could somehow limit the number of those characters without feeling too restraining, that would probably drastically improve my view of those games. If somehow the story would be presented in a similarily breathtaking way as in the best Single Player RPGs and the quests wouldn't boil down to a ridiculous amount of grinding, maybe I could even give those games a shot.

Sorry. 

(About that limiting thing: Maybe a political/event driven thing could help there, like, "only people that are higher in the hierarchy than this/that level may get past level 50 or something along those lines, or I dunno what...)

MMORPGs are basically chatrooms with fantasy themed 3d graphics.

I don't enjoy those games. At all.

OMF!  Never thought I'd run into another fan of that in a hundred years.  I used to play the living crap out of that back in the day, but I never did try the 3D remake that came out a while ago.  Did you, Battlerager?

Also, Psychonauts is one of my favorite games of all time.  I really have to reinstall that.  It's been a while since I've played it.

One Must Fall 2097.

An amazingly addictive fighting game for the PC and one of the very last and only really good fighting games exclusive to the PC.

Robots beating the crap out of each other are awesome.




Plok.

One of the toughest and quirkiest platformers I've ever played. The music is unbelievable.




Impossible Creatures.

Real Time Strategy is always more fun when you are able to customize your army. Your units are 'creatures' that you create by combining two different animals into a new being, choosing between certain body parts and abilities attached to them.
With Impossible Creatures, that feature is really the core of the game.
A absolutely hilarious setting, a great B-Movie plot about an evil capitalist trying to take over the world and provoking a war, great sense of style, countless possibilities for unit creation, and its just plain fun to experiment with different abilities and perfercting your army (especially against  a human opponent.)

The game also features tongue-in-cheek voice acting, a great sense of humour and  an absolutely appropriate soundtrack comprised of jazz, swing and more.

I don't like Nightwish that much, but a Cd without vocals is indeed nifty. (Enjoying some of the music, not being a fan of that style of vocals.)

I don't like Steam.

It was a chore to get it to work, and I found it really impractical and restrictive.
