The Most Satisfying game you've ever played

=SubZero=

Well we have the most annoying game you've ever played, how about the best?

For me it has to be Final Fantasy 7, can't fault very much in that for an RPG
Bought it when it first came out and still play it now an then today.
Best 60 quid i've ever spent.

definately agree so enjoyable all the way through

my vote goes to ff7 or perhaps far cry for a while

Operation Flashpoint, the original campaign game. Finishing it was the most satisfying thing ever.

Still playing this game 3 years later. So far ahead of its time and so much better than most of the crap that comes out today it makes you wonder.

Prob ff7 but the most satisfying fps i ever played was definitely Rise of the Triad. Just had to love god mode, dog mode and all those traps and ****

However the most satysifying thing ever was completing wold3d. Man having to go hought each level looking for secret panels was a pain but so satisfying when you eventually find it.

I hate to be so uncool and mainstream :rolleyes: but it has to be GTA III. As a fan of the original top down games I couldn't beleive my ears when I read about a full blown city to explore from a third person perspective and they pulled it off so well. Beating someone to death with a baseball bat for the first time in the game was probably the most satisfying thing in a game ever.

and we claim video games don't cause violence? i guess we were wrong.....


and erm i'd say enemy nations cause it took ages to do anything(i mean ages, entire game was basically a skirmish) , so when u finally got enough of an army to go on the rampage it was satisifying...

bizmark

Spy hunter on the old c64 (i think) and FF 7

Mr E

Zelda Link To The Past (SNES/GBA)

RuggieBear

most satisfied to finish is System Shock 2

Most satisfaction playing is Tiger Woods 2004....i know i need help

cant argue with you there.

Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Just finished it 2 days ago. Makes every penny i spent on that Saturn worth it. I had high expectations for this game but it was better than what the reviews say about it. Not only was it an amazing experience but it also made playing Panzer Dragoon Orta again an even better experience by adding a whole other layer to the stroyline. I think this will be replacing Suikoden 2 as my favourite game of all time.

BlitzKrieg

damn it retro i hate it when you play the games i want to play!!!!



Nights has to be one of the most satisfying games i have ever played!

Pantera

Quake III Arena for me I'm afraid, but specifically CTF. I cant get enough of it..still to this day. Pity the community is all but dead now! ah well.

rainbow kirby

Gotta be Metroid Prime for me.

ykt0di9url7bc3

earthworm jim on snes was a great to finish as was Red Alert 1, Freespace 1 and 2 were great games to comlpete as was Deus Ex

Toca 1 or 2 on psx was probably my fav to finish, battling thru the league just to pip Alam Menu for the title

super_furry

FFVII by some distance.

aSS g0BliN

yeah FFVII was an brilliant game but i'd say the most satisfyin game to have finished was proably FFIII (FFVI in the us) it was such an unreal game,even though it tooks AGES 2 finish :eek:

...i'm quite proud of myself

CyberGhost

Tekken
COD/MOH - now COD online the best online game I have ever played(God Bless you Kazu!) - very satistying

Yeah I know, now I always have to beat people with baseball bats, pick up STI-ridden hookers and wander down dark alleys in search of glowing markers that might mean a job.

Lafortezza

1) Nethack
2) Doom I and II
3) Championship Manager

suppafly

i have to agree with swifty, i love GTA all of them!!! I was hooked from the first top down one. Running over all the hari-crishna's(sp?) to get "GOURANGA!!!" that was deadly!!



p.s. i'm not violence, it was just well funny!

tman

metroid prime - beating meta ridley, prime and omega pirate for the first time
and getting 100% items and scans the other day.

super mario kart - realising that i'd gotten the fastest possible lap time on the first ghost track

far cry - the start of the "boat" level... one of the most immersive gaming experiences i've had

ArphaRima

This is easy. monkey island. All of the first three were like the best things to ever happen.

-Use rubber chicken with pulley-
genius.

Sarky

Hordes Of The Underdark
Planescape: Torment
Baldur's Gate saga
Thief 1 and 2
Golden Ax (Going back a bit)
Ikari Warriors (to go REALLY far back)

All a joy to play, satisfying to finish, yet also saddening because that was it...

Zulu

Flashpoint - because I'm a war nerd.

PiE

FFVII/Civ2/R6/CM

radiospan

Championship Manager (winning the Champions' League with Peterborough)

Crucifix

I've gotta go for FF7 myself. Ahh, I can feel the waves of nostalgia on the horizon.

Agent Smith

wolf 3D, on my old 286... best game ever!

l3rian

i find multiplayer games so satifying

counter strike: winning when the odds are completely against you, knowing that your whole team is spectating you, as you sneek upto the ts planting and somehow manage to kill them all and defuse

age of conquerors: leaving your allys to fend for themselfs in a team game and booming to imperial in under 30 minutes with a civ like persians, then creating a fully upgraded elephant and siege army, that tramples all over your enemys castle age armys that thinks its won, they then have to regroup everything as my army plows thru to their bases, aaahh satisfying


and ff7 is pokemon with fmv

BadCharlie

1. Vulcan "Spectrum"
2. Dungeon Master "Amiga"
3. Bomberman Man , Street Fighter2 "Snes"
4. Doom1&2 , Cs "Pc"

There the games i have had the most fun playing. All but one of them games you could play against Humans.

those games were hilarious.

for me it's gotta be metroid prime, ocarina or street fighter 2 turbo

gnu

Have to agree lafortezza. Nethack beats all the others for me. The first time I ascended is my best gaming moment ever!

Wolfy

zelda link to the past
super metroid
turok dinosaur hunter original (okay so it was crap but i was happy when i completed it)
operation flashpoint

oddly since moving to pc gaming and that im older and can afford more games i tend not to finish games anymore.. i get tired of em and move on... or maybe its just the state of games lately... like doom3 or farcry an initial wow factor that wears thin...

oh and CoD... that game left me wanting more more more

Ciaran500

Rez + trance vibrator


(Not me in pic)

DrEvil

Final Fantasy 7 for me by far. Didin't have to even think about it

Tekken and GTA games too

Azza

Dues Ex my all time personal favourite.....as for the second one lets not go there is a sore point.

After that Goldeneye on nes 64
and possible Pro Evolution soccer in 2 player on the ps2.

honru

Possibly Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or any of the Mario games.

Boro

1 KOTOR - Amazing game
2 Baldurs Gate 1/2, Icewind Dale 1/2, NWN
3 Championship Manager 3

evad_lhorg

I got a brand new copy of perfect dark there yesterday(I gave up on the n64 and games for a bit which is why I never bought it or majoras mask or conkers bad fur day, then came back to gaming last october). I think the game blows goldeneye away. it's the best shooter ive ever played. saying that I just bought half life too but I havnt played it yet cause my poxy monitor wont let it work.



If anyone has any of the following n64 games they dont want. let me know.

mario 64
majora's mask*
shadowman
fighter's destiny
turok 2
conker's bad fur day*
banjo
wwf no mercy
jet force gemini
blast corps

im really after the ones marked with a *

1. Legend of Zelda on the SNES.

Best Zelda game for me, with the other two Ocarina of Time and the Wind Waker I just stopped caring at a certain point and put them down, they were brilliant but I didn't feel the urge to finish them once I got near the end, felt like work. Maybe I grew up of something.

2. Legend of Zelda on the NES.

This was just fantastic. I think the simple cleverness of the puzzles actually were better than the SNES version here. God I fúcking loved that game, I even took the instruction booklet into school with me to reread. All the time.

3. Championship Manager 00-01.

Brentford winning the Champions League with a golden goal. An all Irish Arsenal team winning the Champions League and loads of titles. Ireland losing to England in the European Championship Final to a Joe Cole golden goal. Ireland beating Argentina in the World Cup Final having thrashed England 5-1 in the Quarters. Jesus the amount of hours that game stole from my life.

CM4 also deserves an honourable mention for a particular hotseat game where I was managing Barcelona and my mate was managing Real Madrid. Over four seasons we got two league titles each, but I won the Champs League final between the two of us. Satisfaction central. Long range Deco free kick btw.

4. Mario Kart on the SNES. Hours an hours playing it at home. Then a new lease of life given to it in a musty society room in college. I spent a year playing it multiplayer between getting drunk. While being drunk. While being hungover. It made things all better.

5. Day of Defeat (whatever version was the last one before it went to 1.0)

Best multiplayer game ever. Ever. It kinda went to shít I think when they upgraded to 1.0, just didn't have that same skill level. I fúcking kicked ass at it too. I would have owned your bitch ass. Perhaps I did.

6. Grim Fandango.

This game is just beautiful. Best plot and characterisation of a game ever I think. I wouldn't be surprised if it's turned into a movie at some point.

7. Civ 3

It stole some of my life. I remember some crazy game that just burned themselves into my brain. Plus I remember going to bed at six am when I had to get up for work at half seven. I've had to uninstall it cos I have some exams coming up.

Honourables to KOTOR, Mario Bros. 3, Street Fighter 2 (SNES), FreeCiv multiplayer, Half-Life, Silent Service 2, Monkey Island 2, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Soul Calibur 2, NBA 2k 1,2,3 , Super Smash TV, Unreal Tournament 2004 (Onslaught only), the tennis game on the dreamcast, Mario World, Monkey Ball 2 and GTA 3.

Ardent

It's a toss up between the original Doom (I'll never forget how awestruck I was playing it first time round) and CM 01/02

Puteq

for me its gotta be Baldurs gate 1, or GTA (3 or 4, take your pick they're both amazing).

i think how a game gets you has a good bit to do with your own expectations of it and whether you are at a stage in your life when you can dedicate yourself properly to it and let it into your life to experience it fully. Or do i have a problem!?!

Moriarty

In order of preference (descending)..

Deus Ex, Monkey Island 1&2 and GTA:VC.

All games that ooze genius out of every pore.
