Why not buy GF1 and GF2 together if you already own GF3. That way you've got the whole Geneforge colection :) Posts: 275 | Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00 |

G1 is marginally the best in my opinion, but I like all 3. I still think you should get G1 next, since then you'll get an idea where it all came from. Be warned that the engine is a fair bit simpler than in G3 -- for instance, no trapdoors -- and there are no Drakons, Gazers, or Rotghroths. But the story just works better than in either sequel. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

Well, if you haven't got it by now, it's out. It's Avernum 4 that the Windows players are waiting for now. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

GF1 is by far the best story line out of the three. It would've been better if you would've gotten GF1 first, since I really enjoyed the mystery around it and finding out bit by bit. GF2 was alright, but GF1 was def better. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

The story of GF1 was the best of them, but the gameplay features are a bit lacking when compared to 2 and 3. -------------------- "I told you, there isn't an 'any key' damn it!" ----------- "Never send a Henchkitty to do an assassin's job..." Posts: 10 | Registered: Sunday, January 22 2006 08:00 |

GF1 is the best in my opinion, not really knowing what's going on and learning about the Canisters and the Geneforge and all. Had an ex-girlfriend that always kicked me each time I skipped ahead in a book or read a sequal before I read the first book. I quickly learnt the same went for games. Hence I always play the first game first, now out of habit more than fear of getting kicked. -------------------- Wife: Honey, what's that stuff on the showerhead? Husband: Woah... Now that's range.

I think I agree with others here: I liked GF1 best. It was mysterious and interesting. GF2 kind of suffers from A4 syndrome: you know most of what's going on from very early in the game and just have to complete tasks from then on. Not that I didn't like GF2 or A4, really, but just that GF1 was better. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Thanks for all the votes and the replies. Now I know what I have to buy... And the winners is... Geneforge... 2! I choice that for a very simple reason: buying GF3,2,1 seems to be much better than 3,1,2. Sorry, I have choiced before the poll close, but I finish GF3 today. Horewer, keep voting the first question, if you want. -------------------- Download Geneforge 4: Rebellion You have 6 posts.

Well, the Exile trilogy package did (still does, actually) offer a small discount for each game you'd already registered. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |
