DA Baracus Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 ME2 is absolutely glorious. The whole trilogy is really. The Illusive Man is a knob. Daft old smoking space supremacist shitehawk. The game does introduce us to the most boring character across the trilogy in Jacob. An utter yawn of a man. I don't get why Mordin is so popular. He's an insufferable, arrogant dick who is partial to a bit of the old genocide. His refusal to accept that it was wrong made me want to do him in. The first time I played and found out who Archangel was, I was buzzing, as they are the absolute top guy. Anyway, how about the suicide mission? A level of emotion that will f**k you up if you haven't prepared properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Mordin is brilliant and his singing is top notch. I do like randomly sending you Scientist Salarian. Genocide? Good reason for that. It's also a tremendous last mission where you can either end up with everyone still alive, or pretty much everyone dead. It sets up the last game incredibly well I feel, pointing to something that is felt throughout the trilogy better than any other- emotion. This game pulls out every emotion from you with the characters, story and don't discount the soundtrack as part of that. Agree about The Illusive Man being a knob though. His teeth must be horrific and I'd hate to be the cleaner there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never done a playthrough where most die in the Suicide Mission. In fact, in nearly all my playthroughs everyone makes it. There are a couple of expendable comrades, but I absolutely couldn't ever lose Garrus or Tali. 1 hour ago, NotThePars said: Makes for a good moment in 3 though. Hide contents "Because I was WRONG!"

NotThePars Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Miguel is sitting here waiting for someone to launch a nuclear take on Mass Effect 2. It's not gonna happen. People are generally sound on that game. I tried to listen to a pod that slammed it and I was full Jose taking the headset off inside 10 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) IN JOINT 22ND PLACE, WITH 19 POINTS FROM 3 VOTES Game: Half-Life 2 Platform: PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 Release date: 2004 Gameplay: Zero Punctuation review: Poll-maker notes: I had this in The Orange Box I got to play Portal. Don't think I ever played this. Oh well. Cultural impact outside of video games: Have you ever seen a meme about Valve or Half-Life 3? People who like this game are responsible. Game: Super Mario Odyssey Platform: Nintendo Switch Release date: 27 October 2017 Gameplay: Zero Punctuation review: User comments: "Just pure unadulterated joy from start to finish. I expect I won't be the only one to put a Mario title on their list, but this is probably a rare one. I was never a Nintendo person, so outside of the originals way back in the day, I haven't played any. I got the Switch, and utterly loved this game to bits. It's just fun, in a way that a lot of games don't even try to be these days. Nothing edgy or controversial, just a really tight game mechanically that looks great and is utterly charming. Just wonderful." "the best title in the best video game series of all time" Poll-maker comments: Game: Command & Conquer: Red Alert Platform: PC, PlayStation Release date: 1996 Gameplay: Edited April 22, 2021 by Miguel Sanchez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 C&C red alert was fantastic, as was red alert 2 and yuris revenge expansion pack C&C games in general were good, yeah most was the same, build resources, defend base then wipe everyone out, something just felt good when you assembled a collection of tanks, humvees jeeps and whatever else and marched towards a base 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 My school had a room where, at lunchtime, a group of about 20 folk would spend the whole hour playing Half Life. I never got invited in, and have still never played the game, but the whole mystique of the room made me desperate to play it for ages. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Half Life 2 had to be one of mine. Was the birth of the original Source engine which also gave us Counter Strike Source, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and of course, Garry's Mod. I'll wait the inevitable comments that this is shite but this was my favourite video of the '00s. If nothing else it's a banger of a playlist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Red Alert was one of mine. The sequels were fantastic as well. It still holds up really well. Cha-ching! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Half-Life 2 could have easily been one of mine as well. A brilliant game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Age of Empires 2 is my 'history' game. I like Civ but nothing compares to AoE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I had Red Alert before remembering something else and changing my list. Great game, even though I remember more of the original. It felt like a huge upgrade at the time though and the multiplayer was legendary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
