The Worst Game Ever in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, December 13 2005 16:08 Profile Homepage #51 Eldibs: When you solve the game, the game is over. What is so odd about that? To enjoy the game as a drawn-out challenge that lasts many weeks, perhaps months, I suggest playing without consulting online sources. I've had great fun putting the games away and replaying them after around 2 years when I've forgotten the details of the riddles. But perhaps I just have a bad memory. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

What games? in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, December 13 2005 16:02 Profile Homepage #25 I've played Myst, Riven, Myst III: Exile and tried the demo of Uru. I'll buy Revelation around February when the exams are done, and ask for End of Ages for my birthday. No need to rush the greatest series of computer games ever made. On another note, I just bought BoA. On a third note, I played Well of Souls, and after spending a few hundred hours in addiction, I realized that it sucks. Horrendously. I've played Escape Velocity: Nova, as well, which is the only game of its genre (and series) I've tried. I've heard many say it's the worst (or at least not the best) of the series, but so far I haven't gotten around to checking out the others. Are they even ported to Windows? I feel very nostalgic about Albion. The first RPG I ever played! Too bad I can't get it to run on any computer I now have. Would probably need Windows 95/98. Ancient Domains of Mystery, however, holds the record for keeping my interest the longest. I played ADOM long before I joined these boards (though not before I started to play Spiderweb games), and I've played it on and off for the past 4 years. On another note, I just found the name of the first game of ANY genre I ever played in my life (well, except the Gorilla one that was mentioned in another thread). Redhook's Revenge! Arrrr. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast. Polaris is dead, long live Polaris.

That's the first time where the situation in the game has been sparked directly through Avernum's actions, not through the Empire's. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

My thinking was "If the original sucked this bad, the sequel has to be better." I was wrong. Simply no action in either game. Both exemplify why you should NEVER put more value in graphics than gameplay. They simply have nothing gameplay-wise. If there were more games like them, I would give up gaming altogether. I would equate the gameplay in Riven to going through a maze that has beautiful scenery. I would equate the experience of playing it to stabbing myself in the eyes with a rusty, serrated kitchen knife. Now that I think about it, Riven and Myst are the games I hate the most. Actually, hate isn't a strong enough word. It's more like absolute loathing with every fiber of my being. DIE. My sentiments. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

It's happened to me several times, and also with full-fledged songs. They never turn out as well when I try to piece together what I can remember, though. Perhaps you need more opium. It worked for Coleridge, after all. That's a thought. For me, it happened after drinking my first cup of coffee ever.
