Title: Best singleplayer experience?
Post by: Golem on May 22, 2016, 11:47:08 am
So, what's your favourite singleplayer game, guys?
Mine would be Metro 2033 and Valiant Hearts: The Great War

Metro is just the right balance of action, fear, good story and dialogue and overall atmosphere and immersion.

Valiant Hearts is lighthearted in graphics, sour in story and a nice mix of a little bit repetitive, yet engaging puzzles.

Quake 2 (http://forum.melee.org/and-all-the-other-things-floating-around-out-there/quake-ii): Still one of the best singleplayer FPS experiences ever, no excuse to not have played it.
Half-Life: no comment.
Sword of the stars: One of the most replayable 4x space strategy games, in my opinion. Fun and addictive, with plenty of replay value and lots of interesting scenarios.
Diablo 2: no comment

Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. Played it for the first time in 2005, and since then I go for a full walkthrough at least once per year.
Also GTA San Andreas and Max Payne. Played those two so many times in 2005-2011 because my shitty pc couldn't handle a newer games at that time. Never regretted it, however. Recently played F.E.A.R. and loved it, even though it was released like ten years ago :o

Witcher 3 - I was honestly surprised by how good and gripping it was, and since I am a fan of Witcher universe, it's my #1 game.

Warband - no comment :lol:

Mass Effect Trilogy - Loved the 1st one althou I'd wish to replay it, but graphics and gameplay are a bit meh, 2nd one was awesome in all regards, 3rd was amazing, it was about the road for me, not the ending, so I forgave them that fuck up.

Neverwinter Nights 2 - One of the first games I remember playing REALLY well, replayed it recently and it didn't lose any of it's charm.

Baldur's Gate saga - a bit hard to get in if you aren't used to old RPG's, but it's a one of a kind experience.

Spellforce games - all of them, they were good. They ARE good.

Sacrifice - my childhood, never found another game like it.

My favourite singleplayer game of alltime is Outcast. I don't know if you can still play it on these recent Windows, and it probably has shitty resolution and graphics, but, back then, it was revolutionary. I think it was the first openworld 3d game I ever played, and it was simply great.

This is so hard to answer for me. I remember so many great games tbh.

Cant believe no1 mentioned Fallout 1/Fallout 2, Planescape Torment, HoMM 3. HoMM 4 was widely frowned upon but it had the best single player campaign and sountrack of all the HoMM games. If you actually read all the text like a massive nerd  :oops:

Morrowind is the only game i believe i reinstalled at least 20 times. Always find something new in every playtrough, the atmosphere, the music, the modding community. Stunning masterpiece and by far the best single player game i have ever played.

Icewind dale, Newerwinter nights, Baldurs gate, Avenrum, original Dragon age were all golden, most recently enjoyed Pillars of eternnity a lot. I love all old school isometric rpgs. I wish there were more of them, If anyone has a hidden gem let me know.

Dungeon keeper 1 and 2 were AMAZING games. Warcraft 3 and TFT campaign incredible.

Dwarf foretress hard to get into, but sooooooo worth it, most intricate game you will encounter. Mafia 1, Medieval 2 total war total conversion mods were great. Mass Effect 2 was the peak, 1 was good, 3 was meh.

Age of empiers 2 ftw, Diablo and Diablo 2 were a massive timesink and fantastic games. Civ 2 was the shit at the time.

Rockstar games. Vice city, San Andreas, Red dead redemption.

Im sure i missed a lot of them, this is just what i can think of atm

Tl:dr Holy trinity Morrowind/Fallout 2/Diablo 2

By far from the "best" but I've recently picked Fallout 4 back up, but playing on Survival mode and I've been enjoying myself quite a bit. All the changes really make it feel like a new game, this is coming from someone who HATED vanilla/launch Fallout 4.

1. Stalker: Call of Pripyat (+COMPLETE MOD)
2. Thief2
3. Zelda: Ocarina of Time
4. System Shock 2
5. Golden Sun 1+2
6. Skyrim (never really cared about the Elder Scrolls games before and completely missed the hype. 3 days before the release, Hideyoshi told me "bruh, get that game it´s good" and so I did. Just imagine starting to play Skyrim without knowing anything about it. Yep. Intense.)
7. Bastion
8. Risen (first game on a new pc after 6 years with a 256MB RAM Laptop, not even kidding. The newest game I was able to play until 2010 was Half Life 2, and that one also just barely. No wonder that this one really struck me back then)

I had one free week after the finals and before moving back to my mums place and I really needed some rest away from everyone for a while, so I spent the week playing Stalker:CoP. That was one of the most intense gaming experiences I´ve ever had, felt really amazing. Sorta as if I´ve actually been there. I should really put all the video footage I´ve made (the only game where I did a lot of recording) into one video one day.
(click to show/hide)

It makes a huge difference if you just quickly play a short round of a game or if you take some time to play something you´re really in the mood for. I don´t play that much lately since I´m barely in the mood for anything. But I´ll keep my eyes out for games when that mood may come back < u <

Best singleplayer experience is playing Kotor 1 with my little nephew who is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay into Star Wars (i'm partially responsible for this).

He watches all the youtube videos and film theories about Star Wars so knows about Darth Revan cos he looks cool and the internet loves him. But... despite watching all this stuff he still has no idea about the plot twist in this game!!!!!!!

We don't get to play it too often, so it's been on-and-off for a couple of years now and we're only just on Dantooine, but he remembers *everything* we've done and really invests in the roleplay (he doesn't like Carth or Mission but attempts to make peace when they argue cos he wants a good team xD aawwwwwwwwwwwwe). When we finally get to the plot twist it will blow his damn mind!!!!!!!! I'm just concerned that he'll find out before we get there which gets more likely as he gets closer to the age where he's likely to just google 'Knights of the old Republic' and find shit out.

I worry he might die of old age, before you get there.
Title: Re: Best singleplayer experience?
Post by: Overdriven on May 23, 2016, 02:43:21 pm
I'm a sucker for anything story based so Mass Effect series (even if the ending really did suck), Witcher series, Dragon Age series, Knights of the Old Republic.

Out of the 'older' games Doom 3 is up there in terms of terrifying me as a kid. Amnesia as well. If we are going much older then AoE, AoM.

Even older then Sonic on Sega Megadrive. Heck Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow on the original gameboy.

Half Life 2 is always up there along with Portal.

For one slightly different option I loved Alan Wake when I originally played it.

Edit:
Totally forgot the original Unreal another game that terrified me because of it's oddity and of course AVP2 which was just fantastic. Alien games have been shocking by comparison since then.

Roleplaying autistic compulsive obsessive transsexual in indie mod called cRPG for over 5000 hours sure was fun. Then I realized 5000 hours equals 208 days which is a bit less than 7 months of non stop gaming. Average lifespan of human males in my region is around 72 years, converted in months equals 864 months. Seven months is 0.8 percent of my time on this earth. Awful lot of time to spend on single, completely meaningless activity such as playing video games. Especially because it was just one game.

Therefore I've decided to forget about my past experiences playing games and try to minimize this activity as much as possible. Could become freaking rocket scientist in time I've given to playing stupid games...

Oh yeah, without even entering this thread I knew it was Golem topic. Call it a hunch or something else, but I just knew.

I think at some point it goes way overboard. Liked too at first, but after a mission where I needed to watch over a meeting I gave up. When it goes sideways, you, plus 3 other guys are standing out in the open getting shot from all directions from like 12 dudes. You die in 2 seconds and the hardest part is that 1 of your guys has to make it out of there aswell. I died like atleast 20 times and didnt even get close. You have to meatshield him, or he dies. And if you do....you both die.  :lol: I think they buffed up the difficulty, but didnt really tweak everything accordingly. Anyone actually completed something like that?

I love that games.

all deus ex games included invisible war(I like it and suck it)
Pillars of Eternity
DA:O (second and 3rd game do not exist for me)
JA2(I still play that from time to time and there is no other game that gets close to it)

I finished Soma recently. Must say its a pretty good game, has very deep themes if you like that sort of thing

I really enjoyed it as well, am I stupid for agreeing with Simon from gameplay perspective alone that I agree with what he believed?

Although you NEED the community mod for gothic3, otherwise it would be unplayable.

Soma is metaphysics 101 and you play as a complete moron. Like seriously, this guy is among the most dense player characters ever. His interpretation of the "transitions" in the game being based on randomness is completely retarded. And the game even validates it, in a way. Of course, the scenario and gameplay wouldn't really work otherwise.

For me, Soma has very few redeeming qualities. Its level of discourse is so basic that it is fundamentally useless to any adult. Hopefully, anyway. Gameplay is just Amnesia with monsters that are completely accessory to the main plot.

In the same vein there's The Swapper, an arguably much better game at the mechanical level, and one that is much more subtle in its approach of this somewhat difficult topic.
