Best game of last year!!!!!

[Razielian]

I finally figuared which game deserves the platinum..

Actually let me reword that... the best NON multiplayer game..


the award goes to...........



Prince of Persia sands of time!!

Runs great, Eye popping graphics.. Very nice engine, very good voice acting, great story line... I can't say enough about this..

so what is your guy's overall best games of 2003 for pc?

[PlatoonSgtElias]

without no doubt:


Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

[Razielian]

ohhh yeah.. I remmeber that game.. the one where the graphics were.. so/so and the story line was INTENSE :x
oh oh oh.... and its sorta like.....ummm that other one with out 80's music..





hehehe.. just kiddin with ya....It's an alright game.. I just hate it when ppl talk about how cool that game is and when they play it.. all they do is put infinate health, all weapons and infinate ammo on and blow **** up for 4 hours......


sorry.. not my cup of gaming tea..

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Need For Speed: Underground - the only game to have laste dme longer than 6 hours

--Jakk:t

[cbh]

NFS: Underground...

[Radi0h3ad]

without no doubt:


Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Seconded.


Gotta be Vice City for me I think. The storyline was good, and playing through it properly was somewhat challenging and also really good fun. Sure, if you're that way inclined you can put cheats on as you say, and 'blow **** up for four hours' but at the end of the day it's that freedom which made it so **** good :)

I'd like to put a second game in... but none spring to mind that had me playing for so long... I suppose the only one that comes close was the D+D romp Temple of Elemental Evil but that was too buggy and rushed to warrant a 'game of the year'

:cool: :p

[BadBadNeil]

Maybe a poll should be created? The sysopt 2003 game of the year poll....

[tantone]

FYI-

Vice City actually has a multiplayer patch out now. Kinda sucks, but fun to jump on a stunt map with some friends at the same time.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Yeah there are four lines (or somehting small liek that)of multiplayer code existing in the GTa3 engine which the MP mods for both games build on, supposed to be very shoddy in terms of stability though

--Jakk:t

[dumbanddumber54]

I'm gonna give it to Call of Duty. Great graphics, a little short for a campain, but all together the multiplayer makes up for it. :t

[Rabbitrunner51]

after playing Vice city a few times now ( not toally done with ) I now think it is not as novel as when I bought it compared to some of the other games I like much better..

I am not sure just when it came out ( had to be 2003 ) but I am playing Mafia again from the start and this game took ALL the rewards there is in hte market and I think it is just absolutely incredible!

If you were to compare it to a Vice city,for example ..there is no way it doesn't win ..hands down

Those boys at Illusion software are pure genius ( i think they are german )

[MadPistol]

sorry, but I have to give this one to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. It was one of the only games that I've played that actually felt like it was an Online Universe and not just some old Console RPG. KOTOR looks really good for an RPG too. Definately the best game of the year.

[tasty danish]

im gonna go CoD.
its fast, slick, and makes your palms sweat with the intense action.

Yes, I totally agree. Knights of the Old Republic is my pick.

[FusionX]

I'd have to say that my favorite game of the year would be Final Fantasy XI.

[ahurtt]

As far as single player RPG games go, I just finished Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and I enjoyed it immensely. Had a hard time pulling myself away to do those essential daily things like eating, sleeping, working, etc. . .Every time you save the game it tells you the amount of time you have played and it was more than 70 hours of enjoyment for me from start to finish. And that was only playing it thru following the path of the light. I haven't even tried to see how the game changes yet when you follow the dark side. Very good game I thought. . .best single player RPG I played in quite some time. Good balance of fighting and story line.

[braamer]

I definitely have to go with KOTOR. It's just so much fun and there is so much to it. I personally think the GTA games are highly overated.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

CoD would have taken it if it werent for lack of longevity, in fact the main reason behind my voting for NFS:U is its the only game this year thats lasted me longer than a day

--Jakk:t

[stealth17]

GTA- Vice City

my vote:x

[Tango_6]

Knights of the Old Republic is my choice.

[scottluebke2003]

I vote for KotOR. Or FIFA 2003, yeah the game has no options, but the gameplay makes it a 10

[FrnchDp]

CoD...

[Logan2002]

For me it would have to be bf-1942 with the DC mods!


I think i am the only one who meantioned this game.

Wasn't GTA Vice City 2002?

My vote is to WC3 Frozen Thrown

I am have my own opinions:D

[grimfandango]

COD!!

MAFIA.
was this in 2002??

Max payne 2!!!



:)

[dumbanddumber54]

My vote is to WC3 Frozen Thrown

Didn't that come out in 2002? Oh wait maybe in Summber 03? That title didn't go much farther than worth you're money. I'm still mad at Blizzard for changing to 3-D, because I liked Starcraft's 2-d better. Oh well,,,,,,

[Predator33]

I'd have to say Freedom Fighter, it's quite addictive :t

[One_Inch_MAN]

has any one played the beta to half life 2

[dumbanddumber54]

nope

[MadPistol]

Go KOTOR!! :D

[Someone Stupid]

There isn't a game to me that deserves the title. Nothing this year was truly spectalur. COD was nice, but short. NFS:U was good for several reasons, if not that it wasn't a ten minute game. GTA: Vice City was just a regurgitation of GTA III only with a bit more "plot." See the pattern here. There wasn't a single game this year that really excelled in every area or nearly every area. Games this year just seems to fit the mold of the expected far too well or just were too bloody short. Crappy year for games. I can't really see any becoming a classic.

[dumbanddumber54]

All I can say is that 2002 was best and CoD was totally killer. The only thing that I disagree is that any multiplayer game isn't short because you have online forever!

[Bigjakkstaffa]

MP bores the hell out of me after a fortnight or so though

I would second that, the only game that even came close to getting anything in my Book was NFSU, because of what is said above it didn’t last 6 hours. I would have but MaxPyane 2 but it just wasn’t worth the money given the length of time the game lasted.

[Ilaister]

does nobody here play rpg's?
neverwinter nights gets my vote. but only cos i shelled out for the expansions

[dumbanddumber54]

If its a RPG game, then against my opinion, FFX-2 wins.

[tasty danish]

against your opinion? are you being held at gunpoint to say that? so IN your opinion, what do you really think?

by the way the best rpg ever was either chrono trigger or final fantasy 6.

[dumbanddumber54]

No I don't like RPGs all together, it's just that if there had to be a best FFX-2 would win. Also I am not being held at gun point to say this (it's worse he's got a squirt gun).

[FrnchDp]

you mean squirt gun, or is there some girly giving you dirty looks?


:p

[tasty danish]

i think he entirely missed the point i was making.

anyhow, ffx2 is so... poppy. whatever

it seems no matter what square does it turns out fun.

i used to be really into rpg's but they just got boring sometime this year, that's when i started to play nothing but first person shooters.

so naturally i would give game of the year honors to a fps, but as much as i like cod: it was indeed too short. so i guess this year wasnt so good.

[bblqj78]

After many times trying...I have managed to get Splinter Cell running without glitches and have been playing for about a week.

What a game! Must be one of last years best! Its a bit differenet from FPS'ers....you actually have to think about what ur doing:D

Could get my vote!:D

[dumbanddumber54]

Didn't Splinter Cell come out 2002. IF so then it would be hte year before last's best year to you. (Ahhhh I'm getting myself confused..:D) :p '


-TSL

[bblqj78]

Didn't Splinter Cell come out 2002

Erm...for the PC...nope. It came out March 2003. It was out for the XBOX before the end of 2002 though.

[Ilaister]

My first real experience with an FPS was a game called Fire Warrior. It was buggy as hell and not all that interesting either. Didn't bother with Half-life, Counter-strike etc despite the hype. Take it i'm missing out?!?!

btw-I had no squirt gun. if violence is necessary as i explained, my weapon of choice aint a projectile weapon =)
