Topic: BEST and WORST games you've ever played?

Mirby, there are times where you really scare me

[Gaia]

Well, I did like the times when I dipped random people into pools of water in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. Especially setting up a deathtrap-oriented ride. 

[Mirby]

Actually, in RCT1, I killed a few people on a roller coaster that had a dip over the water... and then on the Drop Zone-style ride. Make it short, and set the speed as high as you can. That's a surefire deathtrap!

Any Tycoon game and Nicktoon game.

The Tycoon games are great for messing around (I mean, who DOESN'T love to just unleash all the animals and trap all the visitors in Zoo Tycoon every once in a while?), and honestly the Spongebob games were surprisingly good, at least the ones my brother made me play.

This. Although the only one I got a chance to play was Battle for Bikini Bottom.

[Mirby]

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie game is surprisingly good. It has a nice scale of difficulty in some of the bonus stages and you get to drift a giant Krabby Patty. Hate to admit it, but it's a fun game. Sure, the extra missions for Goofy Goober tokens can be a pain in driving stages or what could be called autoscroll (the game moves forwards automatically; you just steer left and right and jump) stages, such as FINISH IN THIS TIME but it's like Muzy's missions in Sonic Rush Adventure. The time may seem impossible to beat at first, but once you get a good path, it's smooth sailing.

Well from the games I can remember...

Best Games Moi has played in his lifetime:
-Punch Out!![Wii/NES]
Challenging, easy-to-play, comical and most of all a fun game. One of the few games I actually replay from time to time.

-Breath of Fire series (minus Dragon Quarter [PS2])[SNES/GBA, PS/PSP]
One of the firsts RPGs I played when I was kid, and one I'm quite fond of. Love all the characters in the series, both good and bad. Plus you can turn into a damn dragon! I loves me those dragons. Yes the gameplay was your basic JRPG, but I found this series to be some-what unique because of it's cast of characters, dragon transformation and I found all the games quite memorable (even DQ).

The reason why I'm not counting DQ isn't because of it's gameplay (in fact,
 the gameplay was good), but the whole setting, only having 3 party members throughout the whole game, and the timer like dragon gauge (which really sucks cause the best thing about the BoF series is the dragon transformations, IMO) made me feel a bit uncomfortable calling this a BoF game.

-Gitaroo Man [PS2/PSP]
Best rythem game I've ever played. It's tough at first but once you get used to the gameplay mechanic you got quite an addicting and fun game on your hands. Like Punch Out!!, I find myself replaying this game from time to time.

Never played the PSP version so I can't say if that thing called an analog stick hinders/ruins the game.

-Super Mario Galaxy [Wii]
Playable 3D Luigi, 'nough said...plus the whole game was great too I guess.

-Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga[GBA]
Yes, all Mario RPGs are fun, and most say that SMRPG is the best of them all. Personally, I like the Mario & Luigi RPGs the most, solely for its counter attack/dodge mechanic. The reason why I don't count the whole trilogy is because PiT's boss battles seem to have lasted for hours and BiS, though a great sequel, I found myself to be a bit...dissapointed on some of it's boss battles, boss designs and how the story progressed. Though it is very close to SS.

-Mega Man X [SNES/PS/PS2, GC]
The best of the whole series. One of the cool thingd about this game was how some of the stages changed if you beat a particular boss. Another thing I found cool was that one of the Light Capsules was protected by a well-armored sub-boss. I don't recall there being another capsule protected by a sub-boss in the later installments.

-Chrono Trigger [SNES/PS/DS]
The game soundtrack was and is still the best <insert name of composer here> has ever concived, the cast are just loveable, all the characters and mobs were designed by [that guy who draws the Dragon Ball manga and anime and Dragon Quest/Warrior games, someone tell me his name cause I'm to tired to look for his name at the moment], which is a big plus for me for some reason, had multiple endings and time travel.
Also, no random encounters.

I don't think I played any games which I truly find horrible or bad enough to be called The Worst Game I've played.

Or maybe I just don't want to/can't remember them.

[dragontamer272]

Yet you list a Castleroid as best?

Well... sorry, just don't get on to me about it.

[Mirby]

You explained why you disliked Super Metroid, now explain why Dawn of Sorrow is one of your favorites!

* I love the presentation of the game... the Anime-Style art, even thought most of everyone thought it was a bad idea to have that style.
* The control is pretty good, I even like the Magic Seal touch screen system.
* The soundtrack of the whole game is phenominal.
* Julius Mode is fun to play.
* The map to me isn't as confusing compaired to Metroid.
* It's just as addictive as Tetris.

[Mirby]

Castlevania is as addictive as Tetris? There's a comparison I never thought I'd hear.

[Kirby Pink]

- Super Mario 64
- Ecco the Dolphin 1 and 2
- Final Fantasy 9
- Pokemon Snap (What? I love calming games too)

WORST:
- Pokemon Ranger (Just...no)
- Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (The game mechanics caused mass amounts of motion sickness.)
- Chaos Legion (Could not get into it at all)

That's about it.

[Da Dood]

If I make a list of my favorite games ever, the top ten will have like... five Mega Man games. So I'm gonna list my favorite franchises and my couple of favorites there.

1. Mega Man (MM3, MM2)
2. Mario (Super Mario 64, Galaxy)
3. Metroid (Super, Prime)
4. Resident Evil (RE3, RE4)
5. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

I can't get enough of Mega Man, especially classic, especially 8-bit, ever since I was a kid. The gameplay is simple, straight to the point, and at the same time gives me just enough variety and depth to invite new runs. I love the almost equal attention the classic series devotes to action and platforming, there isn't ever a dull moment.

Mario is digital happiness. I can't play these games without a stupid smile on my face. Galaxy, in my book, is the most recent masterpiece of gaming.

And if there was an Oscar for game design, DKC2 would nail every prize.

As for my least favorites, I'm gonna say Mega Man X7 because it managed to ruin the safest formula ever, aside from being one of the laziest games I've played.

[VixyNyan]

BEST Games: Most games.
WORST Games: Some games.

[Mirby]

That is a great link, Da Dood!

[Da Dood]

Isn't it? I worship that article.

[Mirby]

Which is why I'm glad I got DKC2 GBA yesterday; I would've been ecstatic if I had found my SNES with all my games (all three DKC games included) before I moved, but alas... 'twas not meant to be...

[dragontamer272]

Castlevania is as addictive as Tetris? There's a comparison I never thought I'd hear.

What do you  mean? Did I say it like it doesn't make sense.

[Mirby]

No, not that. It's just something I never thought I'd hear. To me it's a strange comparison, but if it makes sense to you, I'm good.

[dragontamer272]

Phew... you do have to excuse me sometimes I do make some weird comments... or I keep thinking that I do.

[Mirby]

Everyone makes weird comments at some point; it only depends on the perception of the listener as to whether or not it is strange. I do it all the time, honestly. Don't worry about it.

Oh thanks, now... I'm curious, your avatar, you keep changing it every second, why's that?

[Mirby]

It's on a randomizer. Every time the page loads, it chooses a random image from the randomizer directory and shows that. Thanks to DominicanZero/Tohno Shiki for it!

To me, Dawn of Sorrow as kinda disappoint compared to the original Aria of Sorrow on the GBA. Not to say its a bad game, I enjoyed the game nonetheless but I was expecting better from an Aria of Sorrow sequel. One of my gripes on Dawn of Sorrow has to be the fact that almost all the weapons in that particular class (short swords, great sword, etc.) handles exactly the same whereas Aria of Sorrow some of these weapons had shorter animation frames and stuff like that. Here's an example of how the weapons in Aria of Sorrow: when you get something like Clamiah Solais it is a very fast great sword whereas something like the Final Sword has slower animation but because of that it hits the enemy twice if the blade stays on the enemy. And I didn't like some of the Souls as much as Aria of Sorrow's.
