I think Rogue Trooper got low scores with critics, but it was actually a pretty good TPS game. It's a shame a sequel was never made.

darthspudius: Yeah, I have no idea why anyone expected it to be a masterpiece. I got a filthy, rude, gory fast paced shooter. I was happy with it.
because ti took 14 years of empty promises to cough up a game that at best fitted in 2005 as a launch title for the xbox 360

i personally dont like its tone and so called "humor" either but i dont like duke nukem as a whole

the original worked just barely in 1996 the gaming landscape has changed so much by 2013 duke nukem is an anachronism at best

Star Wars Rebellion. Yes, the interface is pretty clunky,but once you learn it it is a really good 4X strategy game set in the Star Wars Universe.
Then although not nearly as good as the original, I don't think that Blood 2 is quite as bad as it's reputation.

But Duke Nukem Forever...that is a game that deserves it bad rap.

Let's try this again.

I would highly recommend Planescape: Torment. In my opinion, it's one of the most beautiful RPGs ever created. Dark, abstract storyline, an insane amount of dialogue, every character you meet just glows with their own strange and unique personality. When it came out, or when I randomly found and bought it rather, I thought I was the only person on earth that had this game. It's good to see it topping the list when you click on the Games tab here on GOG.

Realms of the Haunting is another game I thought no one had and it would fall through the cracks of time and disappear. I was surprised to see it being given away on IndieGala last week. Another great game if you like dark, abstract storylines. They did a fantastic job on the in-game videos as well! During the time of real acting in games that I remember so fondly with the Command & Conquer series. Something about this game's storyline just drew me in as the game progressed. Now that I have it on Steam, I'll have to dive in and try to complete the game.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura is also a fantastic RPG. A bit linear, but you do pick up sidequests here and there. The atmosphere the game portrays is just beautiful and there is so much diversity in character progression. Like Planescape: Torment, the hand drawn area maps are beautifully detailed and the mix of magic and steampunk attributes made for an oddly great combination in gameplay. Once you get past the mountains and meet with the elves, the landscape (for a 2D game) was breathtaking in my eyes.

I highly recommend Planescape: Torment and Arcanum to any D&D style RPG fans. Anyone that played and loved Diablo would probably be of interest too. Sadly, my copy of Planescape: Torment has a corrupt area map in one of the main parts of the city. I can't count the number of times I've re-installed the game, DETERMINED to finish the storyline. Play for about 5 hours, get to a blank map and go 'awwww... D****T!' :cries:

Then there are the Virgil (for Arcanum) and Morte (for PS:T) hacks. Those are a blast to toy around with :)

javihyuga: Castlevania II Simon's Quest. I think it actually is a good game.
avatar
snowkatt: it is
but it is so fucking obtuse you need a walkthrough to figure it out

even by nes standards its mystifying
Yeah it is obtuse with some bullshit thrown in but its still decent. I mean they tried to do something different for the sequel, that says a lot especially in the NES days.

ScotchMonkey: This is first time I heard of anyone like DNF. To each his own indeed sir.

darthspudius: Well then it is a rare day because I really had a good time with it too.
This is getting weird man. Next thing you know, someone says they like the Atari version of PacMan.

does it ?
the nes days were actually the "wild west "days of video gaming

as in lets see what works and lets throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks
it didnt take untill the 2000's when video gaming started to become safe

cause there were a lot of quirky and unusual titles put out in the 80's and 90's ( and even more slop )

I'm talking about the sequels specifically. Like Megaman for example. Everything else was a one and done deal and they went wild indeed.

James Rolfe and Mike Matei seem to like it.

And LGR gave a pretty positive review to Duke Nukem Forever.

but even sequels were batshit insane

just look at smb 2 its basically a rom hack of doki doki panic but its still a proper sequel

zelda 2 is a side scroller

tmnt 2 is the arcade game

castlevania 2 zagged when castlevania zigged

in the nes time frame companies were still trying to figure out what worked
and when the ps1 and saturn and n64 hit the scene they did it all over again

With the Fallout 4 trailer the hate for F3 seems to have been revived , so I'll just go on record sayint - I liked Fallout 3. Yes, it was bugged up the ass, to the point where getting it to run, and later not to crash every time I opened a door were the two biggest challenges of the whole game, but once I got past that the games was a lot of fun. It felt great to explore this big, open wasteland, all the ruins and settlements. Ok, the ending was weaker than my chances for a date with Emma Watson, but everything before that was a lot of fun. Ok, F1 was better, and New Vegas was waaaay better, but that still does not make F3 bad.

While most fans of the series seem to agree it’s the worst, it’s actually my favourite.

F4LL0UT: Me too, actually I enjoyed the heck out of it. So it wasn't some brilliant masterpiece but it sure as hell was gory fun and that's the most important thing about a Duke Nukem game.

darthspudius: Yeah, I have no idea why anyone expected it to be a masterpiece. I got a filthy, rude, gory fast paced shooter. I was happy with it.
Aside from myself, you guys are the first others I've heard say anything good about the game. :) Obviously the world as a whole just wasn't ready to take on the epic awesomeness of the Duke. :)

Personally, I think Duke should get together with The Postal Guy(TM) and make a game together. Some good ole fashioned macho camacho poop flinging fun! :)

All of the D&D games come on sale on GOG 2-3 times a year for peanuts. Usually $2 each or the whole set for $21.60 or so. Planescape Torment is one of the best selling GOG games of all time, consistently ranking in the top of the bestseller list only to be temporarily bumped down on short term sales promos and even then sometimes keeping its position, so it's worth picking up the GOG version just for the hassle-freeness. :)
