I'll mark a vote for Max Payne, then.<br /><br />I played the PS2 version briefly, and thought it was garbage, but that was long ago. <br /><br />The whole Baldur's Gate saga is a big gap in there I can hopefully fill this year sometime.<br /><br />In my defense, I played probably half or more into KOTOR on the 360, but the emulation is shit and I got so sick of it I quit. That and the sequel (on PC) are also definitely on the list!Count Elmdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774075985647158998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-37544296759314707222011-01-18T15:11:09.654-08:002011-01-18T15:11:09.654-08:00Ok I skimmed the list of games again and I'm s...Ok I skimmed the list of games again and I'm still sticking with Max Payne (because it's a quick play) but here are your most egregious failures: <br /><br />-Baldurs Gate 1/2/Throne of Bhaal<br />-Knights of the Old Republic<br /><br />GET ON THE STICK MAN!!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816077783432820444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-67487894945131921052011-01-18T15:06:46.514-08:002011-01-18T15:06:46.514-08:00How do I vote for the next game?

Make sure you get the Kung Fu 3.0 mod because it is so badass. It's my favorite fan mod of all time. The dojo sux but the moves it adds to Max are sublime.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816077783432820444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-88978129594488730112011-01-13T20:36:36.775-08:002011-01-13T20:36:36.775-08:00Well, actually, item durability doesn't bother...Well, actually, item durability doesn't bother me so much. What I really dislike are mechanics that discourage or limit exploration. If I have to worry about toxic air or grabbing the next bubble in a mario game to keep from dying, I'm not going to look around as much. I'm just going to hustle to the next safe zone.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152124125946055390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-74502454277160438962011-01-13T08:49:29.665-08:002011-01-13T08:49:29.665-08:00Oh, right.

I'd imagine that is something like how some games use hunger or fatigue that you periodically have to take care of, or like armor durability, which I was kinda surprised to find in AC2.Count Elmdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774075985647158998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-76174788970043222232011-01-12T21:54:37.539-08:002011-01-12T21:54:37.539-08:00Well, I use "time limit" loosely.

I have heard there is some sort limit on how long you can be outside in the toxic atmosphere.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152124125946055390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-8829157024749886582011-01-12T20:43:10.233-08:002011-01-12T20:43:10.233-08:00then, yeah, it'll have 3 votes, since I'm ...then, yeah, it'll have 3 votes, since I'm carrying them forward.<br /><br />Is there a time limit?

However, I'll go ahead and put my vote in for Metro 2033 for next week. <br /><br />That's a game I'm marginally interested in but I've never really liked mechanics that put you on a time limit.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152124125946055390noreply@blogger.com
