Miguel Sanchez Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 I was going to do this yesterday but I spent about 6 hours straight playing my number 1 and I was done by the end of it IN JOINT 153RD PLACE, WITH 3 POINTS EACH FROM 1 VOTE Game: Tekken 2 Platform: PlayStation Release date: 1996 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8neFY6-xnLY Game: Tekken Platform: PlayStation Release date: 1995 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLyQdwQce2k Game: Call of Duty: Warzone Platform: PC, PlayStation 4; 5, Xbox One, Series X; S Release date: 10th March 2020 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdQh7ywFpEk Poll-maker comments: Given how much time I put into Modern Warfares 1 and 2 I'm intrigued by how much time I would have spent on this if it had released ten years earlier. Or if I was ten years younger. Game: Fortnite Platform: PC, PlayStation 4; 5, Xbox One, Series X; S, Nintendo Switch, Mobile Release date: 2017 Gameplay: I'm not even linking anything here. I physically can't stomach the youtube thumbnails. Poll-maker comments: If Warzone would have taken up a lot of my time, god knows what Fortnite would have done. Game: Star Wars: Battlefront II Platform: PlayStation 2; Portable, PC, Xbox Release date: 2005 Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZOxr0chB_8 User comments: "One of the best games to ever have been created, lost countless summers to it." Poll-maker comments: This is probably the first objective-based team shooter I played. Even just playing against the AI there was something addicting to just playing the same maps and games over and over. I couldn't count how many Galactic Conquest campaigns I finished. Who could forget loading up a transport, flying it into your enemy's space cruiser and taking it over from the inside, like an aggressive Trojan Horse? It's a shame a game as inherently playable as this was released before online play really became ubiquitous, and it's an even bigger shame that the 2015 and 2017 reboots were so awful.

SANTAN Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 My choices are finishing so low, I think 3 or 4 of them have already came up I understand nobody backing Fortnite but come on Star Wars Battlefront 2 finishing down here. Hang your heads in shame boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Yeah, TLOU is clearly not shit, but it's no where near as good as people finger themselves over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might've chosen BF2 if I hadn't downloaded it again recently and realised how bad the game's aged but god what I've give for a fully fleshed out Galactic Conquest mode. I think my dream game is a great Star Wars shooter with some sort of grand strategy map game. Europa Universalis/ Total War with Star Wars Battlefront battles.

Galactic Conquest was all me and my mates used to play, was so good, I remember being so disappointed playing the new one and it was all online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Resi 4 is my favourite in the franchise but mostly because I was too young to fully appreciate Resi 2. I sometimes watch it on Twitch and forget how big the game was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Resident Evil 1-3 & CVX gameplay wise are much bigger games than anything today and certainly any Resi games that came after them. Tekken 2 was my pick. Disappointed to see it so low - particularly on par with the abysmal in comparison original game. Tekken 3 tends to be the fan favourite I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tekken 3 was the one with the Double Dragon-stykle mode, wasn't it? Fair enjoyed that tbh. Perfect Dark was a great game, though suffered a bit from the fact you had to shell out for an expansion pak to play most of it. It was possibly a better game than Goldeneye, and might have been seen as such if it was a Bond game too. This is the first time one of my games hasn't appeared as a one-voter, will be interesting to see where it finally appears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Cannon Fodder. What a shout. Proper hero without a cape that nominated that. Can't help but think it would play really well on a mobile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the music and atmosphere of 2 that did it for me. 3 had much more content though! And it had Eddie who became the noob, spammer choice of a generation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help but think it would play really well on a mobile. That was mine, to quote my submission: I've played Cannon Fodder on an emulator recently ( since lockdown 1 anyway) and it still holds up very well as the Sensible games were never really about graphics even at that time. The difficulty curve jump about a third of the way in is brutal but once you get over that hump it's huge fun. I think what was novel about it was that until that point in games you generally had one character with lots of lives/ try agains, here you had 300 guys with one life and when they were gone they were gone. You nurtured the first few (Jools, Jops, WingsOverScotland*) through the easy levels at the beginning and were a bit upset when they died, but by the later stages the recruits literally were just cannon fodder. *seriously, although I believe the character was Stoo. One of these things where you have to separate the artist and the art. edit: forgot there was a horrible reboot/ cannon fodder 3 a few years back. Cannon Fodder 2 was OK, just an expansion disk with more levels really Edited March 11, 2021 by Fuctifano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worms is pictured here because I just found out it was also in there with the Cannon Fodder disc! Loved how each soldier you lost got a wee gravestone in the screen before each mission. They piled up pretty fast! Cannon Fodder is where I learned the word 'Skidu'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Perfect Dark was awesome, except when dirty cheats used the farsight. That shit was banned when we played. Loved how every weapon had a second function. Was great to set the laptop gun as a sentry. Double Cyclones were a joy. The single player was pretty decent, but loses points for calling the alien 'Elvis'. I hate unoriginal shit like that. The challenge mode where you had to take on Sims was good fun but solid. I got this on the Xbox360 and it's still great to play. P.S. Fortnite can f**k so far off. Edited March 11, 2021 by DA Baracus -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Thought Fortnite would be higher but that's probably due to the demographics here. My 13 year old had it as 2 on his top 10 but as he's not a P&Ber I obviously didn't submit his choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Cannon Fodder's great, and I broke it out again last year at some point, but the mouse controls have always felt too floaty for me and I just get hacked off with the whole thing. Wings Over Scotland supposedly didn't have much to do with this one; it was Cannon Fodder 2 that he was heavily involved in. There's a Cannon Fodder 3 that came out a few years back, but it's one of those things where someone got the licence and knocked up something cheap in Eastern Europe, and it looks like utter dung. The Binding of Isaac is terrific fun; I've sunk a lot of time into it over the years. It's the kind of game that you need a glossary alongside you to play, as it has roughly ten million different pickups and items and you need to have some idea of what they do before you take them or you can end up severely fucked. It's like a modern version of twin-stick shooters like Robotron or Smash TV, but with a very fucked up plot where you play a toddler trying to avoid being killed by his own religious mother, with all sorts of cartoon nastiness along the way. Not really one for the squeamish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkneil Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Cannon Fodder is one that slipped through my net. So many hours ploughed into that on the SNES back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
