Best Video Game Ever

redsai4lex · 07-28-2003, 05:12 PM

Metal Gear Solid (PS)
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (GC in Nov.)

Great Storyline

Fun Gameplay

Tactical Espionage Stealth Action

Finally, Everyone w/ a GameCube will see how much better Metal Gear Solid 1 is and always was better than Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons of Liberty....

Gilligan's Island for NES

*JameO* · 07-28-2003, 05:30 PM

I think Halo for X-Box is amazing and just so fun to play over and over again. Story is great and everything is great about it. And Halo 2 will be even better. I really need and X-Box and buy both halo and Halo 2 because Halo is amazing and Halo 2 is going to be even better.

Battlefield: 1942. Second would be Goldeneye for N64.

*Brodie* · 07-28-2003, 06:55 PM

Half-Life....

They actually made a gilligan's island game?

*Eye of Sarnath* · 07-28-2003, 06:57 PM

Obviously MGS:TTT is gonna be one of the best games ever. Great graphics, and one of the best stories ever in a game? I'll have to steal - er, I mean borrow a Gamecube to play it. But if we're choosing from games that are already out, I'd have to say the original MGS (for PC, of course - the way it was meant to be played) or an old-school FPS like Doom or Duke Nukem 3D. Or Quake, or Jedi Knight, or... dammit, too many...

*Raven* · 07-28-2003, 09:14 PM

man mgs twin snakes is gonna rock every thing on the game cube away

and besides mgs3! which will show all other games a staight ticket to hell!

those are the best games beside mgs2 substance.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ninjatron · 07-28-2003, 09:25 PM

Oh please. Is everyone's memory really so short that they can only name games in recent history?

Seriously, the best game of all time is, was, and probably always will be Tetris. Not just because of it's gameplay, and not just because of how it defies the standard video game target demographic, but because of the amazing story of how it originated in Russia and won over the entire world in spite of so many obstacles that stood in the way.

I'm not even gonna try and choose. Instead, I'm just gonna kneel and say a prayer in thanks for the entire existence of video games, from "Spacewar" and "Pong" to "Pac Man" and "Frogger" to "Super Mario Bros." and "Legend of Zelda", all the way up to today and games like "Metal Gear Solid" and God knows what else.

I thank whatever deity there may be every single day for video games. Seriously. I feel that I've led a richer life because they exist.

Dude, have you been looking through old threads?

Matt said the exact same thing about me.

Don't get me started...those f**kheads were a disgrace to FPS gamers such as myself all around the world. I've written entire essays on how violent video games don't cause violent behavior and how bad upbrinings can lead down to the path of HarrisandKlebold-ism. Got A's on all of them too.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-28-2003, 10:21 PM

Yeah I was just poking fun, only a f*cking imbecile would blame society's ills on a f*cking video game. The media blitz back then really pissed me off, all the anti-movies/music/video games crap people were spewing. Here's a memo to all these clueless f*cks whose kids end up going postal and so they blame entertainment: Try actually RAISING your goddamn kids instead of just sitting them in front of the TV all day and maybe they won't be so screwed up.

I mean I'd wager "Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick" has more blood n guts per square inch than most games but I highly doubt it'll be blamed for the downfall of society. People are just stupid. Can't never point the finger at themselves.

im guessing its because they dont have any fingers to point at them selfs

but really how could you not know that your kid was building 30 pipe bombs in the basement

~~Reznorite420~~ · 07-28-2003, 10:49 PM

You see, Leo, we can be friends after all

Not to sound conceited, but I always use myself as an example when arguing my point: when I was 5 years old, my parents tried to expose me to as many things as possible, so as to enrich my mind (and my older sister's too) about the world around me. They didn't interpret the ratings on movies as "Your child is not allowed to watch this until the age listed", but literally was they say; "SUPERVISION suggested", not BLOCKING. They had NO problems with me watching rated R movies so long as at least one of them was in the room with me. Because of that, I developed a good sense of reality vs. fantasy before I turned 7; most of my peers at that time still had trouble grasping the fact that the TMNT in the movies were really just people in costumes. Sure, I may too much fun with my video game playing, but at least it's healthy; I limit my obsessiveness of it to writing fanfics, playing them, and, if applicable, making levels for them, but that's it. I'm not like the Harris/Klebold type who live their hobbies out like they did; or, as my mom put in a retrospective sense, like those D&D players who were a bit too obsessed with the game and started acting it out everywhere they went. I hope they spent enough time in a padded cell to recover by now.

I'll shut up.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-28-2003, 10:55 PM

It's like I always say... a little common sense goes a long f*cking way.

Ninjatron · 07-28-2003, 11:01 PM

Doom is certainly one of the most important games ever. I spent most of my highschool days playing Doom. Even did some editing, though most of that has been tragically lost to time.

Sayonara.

Fugitoid Jones · 07-28-2003, 11:02 PM

Well, I don't know about best ever, but my favorites are Punch-Out, TMNT 1(which I can only get so far on but still love), and Super Mario Bros. 1, which I think help set the standards for most video games today.
