Most memorable level you've played.

the difference then, is when one takes history into account, you seem to only be able to go back as far as our previous encounters, i on the other hand am forced to go back much further..

i am not saying, you have not been in encounters before, but i am saying that i have a sore spot FOR the subject.. i will always consider it a personal affront, when one uses my quote as a basis for determining the realism of an argument, simply because people assume Orph=argument, or at least a fair majority do.

whether a particular disagreement begins at point A or X or Z is unimportant, what is important, is if its a valid disagreement.. i think its valid to say, i do NOT want anyone quoting my name to confirm a crisis any longer.. please refrain from doing so, i am sure there are 100 other candidates who have been in confrontations as well.. is it my fault that i have been in all 100 with them? :/

Goddammit back to the topic! The most memorable level I've played must have been the third floor in Sytem Shock(yes the orginal. It's so much better than System Shock 2). The lighting and the see through jelly monsters almost made me mess my pants. From the "real" FPS side I must say the most memorable level was Omaha Beach in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Damn if I find that game from some sale I'll buy it...

you will never be taken seriously, as long as the code is borked in your sig :biggrin:

Hey Scythe, nice to see you here :smile: BTW, if somebody writes in blue on
these forums, it means they are being sarcastic or joking. A lot of
people haven't realised and gotten angry at some comments - just
thought you should know for Orph's comments!

Orph, I wasn't arguing with you or taking any "past" into questioning ... unless that comment wasn't directed at this forum or me or whatever.

my entire point was, you're not understanding the differences between pc and consoles. DON'T say that PC is better because you go online and generally use it as a computer. Please, don't say that, because EVERY console has that ability. They can be used as developer tools as well. The Dreamcast was the first full fledged one. Meaning, for all you know, I could be here typing on a DC keyboard, using a DC mouse and my DC as a computer.

The same goes for Game Cube and PS2. They're all capable of this. Yeah, xbox is too, but what do you expect from a green computer :razz:

And like wise I could use my computer for nothing but gaming ... even console gaming if I chose. So, your view is a little skewed. I understand that its your opinion and you're entitled to that, but you obviously don't know what general computer hardware is capable of. :smile:

I would have to say, Reno has a very good outlook on the situation.

(By the way, its very easy to change a next generation console into a computer.)

are you still talking crono? shoot bud, we solved your confusion while you slept..

silly rabbit, trix are for kids :biggrin:

how i view consoles, effects no one but me.. try to read my sentence, as if i were attempting to convey that thought to you, as strange as that may be.. thats all i am trying to do..

consoles are yukky.. as i always tell my wife when she eats something yukky.. "someones gotta like it i suppose"

sighs

i find it entertaining that people often disagree with my point, for reasons other than those i posted on.. but i am getting tired of people classifying me with arguments.. i have yet to begin one.. i do however seem to get involved with many

i appreciate your sentiments kage, honest, but its like being the town idiot, everyone loves them, but no one would take him home to meet the family :sad:

I never meant to imply you started the arguments. It's just that you just always seem to get in the middle of them, and they happen most often when you're around. :smile:

moving along :heee:

Oh geez, I think you're underestimating me a bit Orph... But only a small bit. Not too much you see?

RENO: Nice to see you too. And I kind of figured out the color coding from the precious stuff...

Back on topic, i've found quite a few of the levels in Ratchet & Clank 2 to be very impressive. So much going on in them, with large draw distances and movement seemingly everywhere :smile:

you know what i have noticed about this thread? no not the saboteurs.. the amount of games i haven't even heard of, let alone played.. i have a couple hundred games i suppose.. (maybe more, maybe less) and i have damned few of the ones within this thread..

some of you guys, must have bottomless wallets

Not bottomless wallets (I waited until it was released on Platinum :wink: ), just lots of spare time that needs to be filled. Living alone and not currently having a girlfriend means lots and lots and gaming to be had :biggrin:

jeeze, don't kids master*thwacks ensue* :heee:

well, enjoy it, your priorities alter as you age, some are welcomed, some not so..

I haven't played "going commando" yet, is it good?

I have the first one which is a wonderful platformer. It is about 10 bucks at game exchange up here, I've thought about checking it out.

You just need to know where to shop. I might spend MAYBE 500 a year on games. Which amounts to about 10 brand new games, which doesn't really happen that often. Most games I buy (other then computer, really) are used. So I usually don't pay more then maybe $25 for a game. And yes, it does require a lot of game hunting to find decent copies and such. I suppose I am more patient then a lot of other people ... then later on those same people ask me how I got money to buy all these really awesome/rare games. :smile:

By the way, I played Burnout 3 the other day ... oh man, so awesome. Way better then Burnout 1 or 2.

Crono said:

I still think Burnout 1 had the most realistic crashes.

I don't care. You're wrong.

The thing I like about Burnout 3 is that the cars handle unrealistically well. Which is GREAT. I'm sick of racing games where you can't control the car. It doesn't make sense to make a virtual car handle like its real counter part because you're not physically driving it. You can't feel how its moving or anything else like that.

Secondly, the crashes in 3 are pretty realistic, the cars are a little overdone, but, at least there are actual parts that break off your car and such. Burnout 1 and 2 had really unrealistic crashes.

Look at some real car crash videos, you'll see what I mean. Don't include films, they overblow it too.

can anyone tell me what a video game is?? :heee:

hi guys...sorry ive been gone so long.....i see that SOME things never change eh?..

Doc Brasso... :dodgy:

What I'm saying is, in burnout 1, you hit someone going a little to fast, and you get, well, a smashed up, maybe something like a ub33r fender bender. In burnout 2, you hit some, you're entire front end exlodes.

Let's not have an argument now, they're just opinions :wink:

.... you have never seen a real car crash have you?
a lot of the cars in those games are made to give way in a crash to protect the person inside ... you can total the front end of a sedan while going 8 mph. Especially Hondas ... oh man.

Brasso! Welcome back. .... right?

Okay Im going to get back to the original topic, ya all can say F*** you, but this argument has gone on long enough.

Braso its been a long time and a video game is an interactive enviornment where you can do a vasriety of things from shooting a person to......shooting objects.

Ill say that Id did a good job on their Hell level.

Doc Brasso... :dodgy:

and Crono....absolutely....i hear theres a new game coming out called...umm...halflife...um...... 2? :heee:

pick a level you can recall then doc JEEZE, how hard can it be??? methinks "level 6" on pong was a tuffy :heee:

/me is off to bed, i leave for phoenix in morning.. will be gone perhaps a week.. try to get all your issues resolved while i am away :biggrin: with my new digital memory card i now have about 450 pictures total possible.. i will be posting them all on snarkpit.. all 160 megs of them

be good.

ahh yes.....pong.....man, those were the days eh?.....hours and hours of mindless "blip" watching....

thing is....it was a blast......

Doc Brasso... :dodgy: ...travel safe Orph... :wink:

Most memorable level...

Hard to think of one, but the first sight of 'The Horse we rode in on - Halo' really made an impact on me. The lonelyness, the feeling you and only you were left... Halo did a good job on that...

Most memorable level? Hmm...the last level from "confrontation" in wolf3d, where you kill Fettgesicht (lol, nice name).

Did you ever notice the names some caracters have? Grettel Grosse, Hans Grosse, Fett-Gesicht, Dr. Scabbs (i think), OTTO GIFT-MACHER. :biggrin: .

Don't forget hitler :razz:

yes goldeneye id have to say in my opinion was probably the best FPS on any platform ever because it was so monumental, setting the stage for what our SP and MP experience is today.

That said, my favorite level is probably "Complex" on Goldeneye. My friends and I would slaughter each other in every way possible for hours on end on that map.

Also Operation Overlord from MOHAA was an incredibly immersing experience.

In terms of HL, the first level and the xen world impressed me the most. One day while the internet was out for awhile I played HL about half way through and then paused when the net came back on. I didnt return to it for over a year. Why did I return? Because I kept hearing everyone refering to "g-man" and I was dying to find out what role the sharp looking asshole played in the game. When I finally heard his wierd voice (I hope the sex offender they hired to do it doesn't live near me) I was incredibly surprised.

Actually taking that most games are based off the original Quake engine. I'd say Quake was the most monumental FPS. And with Quake they basically wanted to make a 3D doom ... so ... I'm thinking the originals were the most "monumental".

Also, Goldeneye came out in 1997 ... about the same time HL was suppose to come out (but was delayed a year) ... I think HL had a bigger impact ... but maybe thats just me.

I think all Goldeneye really did was introduce a new genre to console gamers.
Because there were really no fpsers on consoles before Goldeneye.

But I remember playing Wolfenstein and Doom on my SNES :wink:

They were ports. And not very popular ports at that. Remember how they re-released Doom for N64 after Goldeneye was out for like a year?

Actually Crono, Doom 64 was released before GoldenEye.

My faviorite level in an fps has to be the final level of Point of view, that was awesome what they did, and it was so effective!

OK, so they were ports - but still early console fps.

I also forgot about Jurassic Park on the SNES which was a fps for the interiors and top-down for the outdoor areas. I think that was out before Wolf3D and Doom on the SNES.

Actually Crono, Doom 64 was released before GoldenEye.

Just looked it up with Nintendo Yeah, you're right. By a year ... exactly.

I guess Goldeneye came out in '98 ... yet it doesn't say that anywhere on the game its self...

And D64 came out '97

Anyway, the point is, Quake is what pretty much paved the way for every fps we enjoy now.
Almost every fps is based on one of the quake engines.

Oh and we forgot (including me) that Turok came out two months before Doom 64 in the same year ... so ... I think Turok is really the only reason why n64-ers gave Goldeneye a chance. I mean, D64 sucked. It sucked so much ass.

Jurassic Park was so much more awesome on Genesis though. It was a side scroller.

DOOM64 is also a completely different game of DOOM. Almost a High Def version, considering the amount of architectural detail.

So what? It still sucked gargantuan-fat-smelly-shemale-ass.

Yes, it did.

It's all opinions baby. :wink:

And one day my opinions will be law. So, get used to being wrong.

By the way, you forgot a comma, douchebag.

For the love of god tell me this is playful jest, I'm getting sick and
tired of people pouncing on Ballblue like this. In this case he thinks
differently to you on a matter that ISN'T as simple as right or wrong
(as is often the case in the editing forum).

Of course I'm kidding, Jesus.

Thanks for the accolade, but really, Reno will suffice :wink:

I understand, Son. :biggrin:
