best offline game

[Sauri]

well up to now the most impressive game ive played offline (recent one of course) has been Elder Scrolls Oblivion. awesomely awesome game.

so, a list of amazing offline games is to be composed! hehe.

so far on my list of time eaters are:

- Empire at War

-Oblivion

[Fulgrima]

not recent but nothing beats Final Fantasy 7

[Eelis]

Morrowind. Adored it. Not tried Oblivion yet mind u.

Play the sims and zoo tycoon a lot >_<

[Boda]

not recent but nothing beats Final Fantasy 7

Jet Set Willy does :peace: FF7 was absolutly amazing though, first FF game I played and got me hooked on the series.


Oh and how can i forget

CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER

[Jedel]

Play the sims

Well its a Girl Law tbh.


Championship Manager definatly, The origial X as well, X2 sucked, noth bothered with X3. I'm getting Oblivion at the end of the month, heard tons of good stuff about it.

[Quantanao]

Well ok the oldies diggin out the oldies....

SimCity, Transport Tyccoon

[Sauri]

hahaha.:-)

well actually if we went to best old games of all time Star Wars Rebellion/Supremacy (got different names in different places) and X-Wing Alliance fly high there.

and as for Oblivion, it totally rocks. remember in morrowind how you had to use those striders to go everywhere or teleport, well now you can fast travel to places visited. takes time in the day, but no boring long journeys. horses? in it. and useful. (not some though lol)
combat? SOOO much improved, remember if you shot something in morrowind and if your skill sucked, it could hit them in the face and not do damage? removed. i shot a guy while he was jumping through the air at me and he went flying backwards. swords are now kept in scabbards at your side. well...it Rocks :-) (can you tell i love it? ;P)

[Boda]

Would like to try KOTOR 2, those that have played it whats your thoughts on this game? Another game that gave me countless hours of fun (though not a PC game) was Shenmue on the Dreamcast. Droma will know where im coming from with this one 8-) *Rushes up to the loft to dust down the ol DC*

[Sauri]

Shenmue was awesome, both I and II. as for KOTOR 2, was good in the sense that it delved deeper into each planet you went to, and the character development was very much improved over KOTOR, BUT the ending was thrown together shabbilly and leaves you feeling VERY unsatisfied. It lacked the inspiration of "epic-ness" that the first one had really.

basically, it goes a LOT deeper that KOTOR, phylosophical talks with chars and what not, and you can turn most of the crew dark side, but not on the same level of "original gaming experience" that the first one gave off.

[Adristi]

I loved KOTOR, best game i ever played, KOTOR 2 is very good aswell and probably better gameplay and character advancement wise but the ending is a bit of anti-climax but the story it still really good imo. But if u like star wars and rpgs then i dont see how u couldnt like either kotor or kotor2

[Bang]

Oh and how can i forget

CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER

QFE! :D

Just realized that I don't have 1 offline game installed atmo :o

Well Kotor was good kotor 2 was 2 short, but still good.
And Half life 2 is prietty fun with mods :p

[Jedel]

Well ok the oldies diggin out the oldies....

SimCity, Transport Tyccoon


Oh shizzle...I forgot about TT. I had the deluxe version, I spent countless hours on that game. Awesome it was.

[wimmit]

KOTOR, KOTOR II, X-wing, Tie-fighter, Monkey island, Champ manager, Grand turismo & how could we forget about C&C :)

[Droma]

CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER

OMG i miss our rivalries with that :(

[Eelis]

Monkey island

Our main tank on FW has just found a WoW mod that shouts monkey island quotes at the mobs when he is tanking and they shout em back too :|

[Vanray]

OMG i miss our rivalries with that :(


Oh yes, I loved playing this game & hated it all at the same time,

Best offline for me at moment is GTA3 & GTA Vice City, with the mod packs is soo much fun, easier to shoot with a mouse as well,

[Eelis]

GTA which ever it was with the 60's London Theme expansion was brilliant :)


*vvrooom vvrooom splat*

/cockney accent "stupid hippy!"

[Bang]

Yeah always said Cockney and cars don't work well :)
Boda you're doomed :p

[casjin]

[Quantanao]

the best offline game for me well that have to be DOD + DOD sorceDay of Defeat is offline? :-o

Or do you mean with Bots? :p

[Adristi]

I have to say after a couple days playing oblivion that it is absolutely amazing, the depth to it is just breathtaking and all the character advancement options look equally cool whether it combat, magic, stealth or combinations of them. The quests are also cool, even the quests that are not related to the main quest series. I could go on and on and on but basically it is as near to being a perfect rpg game that u are ever gonna get

[Eelis]

Hmm may have to give it a go then, keep hearing good things about it and i loved morrowind.

[Jedel]

My computer doesnt run it....

Great excuse to spend cash on an upgrade tbh.

[Boda]

Considering getting an Xbox 360 and getting the game, trying to pull my hand back and stop it reaching for the credit card but finding it hard :dead:

[Vanray]

Yeah always said Cockney and cars don't work well :)
Boda you're doomed :p


Lmao, Boda a Cockney, nah mate he a Essex geezer widh a scoobie mate, no what I mean geezer!

[Rycher]

Considering getting an Xbox 360 and getting the game, trying to pull my hand back and stop it reaching for the credit card but finding it hard :dead:
Me too...

[Boda]

trying to pull my hand back and stop it reaching for the credit card but finding it hard :dead:

The power of the hand was too great, not that I put up much of a fight ;P Oh Christ, the desire for a Sony 40+ " HDTV Kill the hand, MUST KILL THE HAND :dead:

[Jedel]

Meh...just max out your credit card on stuff...problem solved!

[Auta]

Transport Tycoon Deluxe 4TW

[casjin]

Day of Defeat is offline? :-o

Or do you mean with Bots? :p

u can play it at lan partys :-) lan does that count for online ??
and when i think of online games is stuff like SWG, EQ, EQ2, and that stuff.
well DOD is online i gues:(

[Dazor]

I love how in oblivion you choose a main profession..However at any time if you get bored of that prof you can raise your lower skills to high levels and be just as sucessful being a thief as well as a knight..or anything else :)

[Boda]

All I gotta say about Oblivion...

OMFG!

[Jedel]

My computer coughs and wheezes at it.

[Sauri]

Yeh i gotta agree with Dazor, not restricted in any way.

saying that, what class (if template) or custom class have people gone for?

mine is an assassin, Im listener in the Dark Brotherhood and have focus mainly on being invisible and stealthy, so my marksman and blade are up there (i LOVE my sniper bow :P)

downside is i didnt notice the utterly useless skill thrown in there, and so i have Alchemy as a major skill among all my ninja ones :( knew the template was too convincing...

as a result my magicka is rubbish though, so any extra spells of invisibility can't be used! :( which stinks because using the sign of the shadow and all, i figured with extra invisiblity powers i could stay covert for much longer, but noo... "you don't have enough magicka"


I can never win:(

[Azumii]

hmm well i tried it as bard and warlock(?)dont have the english copy;/
well i like the game too,the quests are really cool but i gave up:-P
iam too stupid for fighting,thats why i didnt make lots of progress with the storyline.i keep on dying and the me is pissed:hellyes:
so i prefer to log into eq2 and kill others while not healing^^j.k:)

best offline game?like the kotor ones and yeah sims/2 cause your never done there.sims where the first pc game i tried at my ex' pc, sims and the longest journey which kept me at the pc a whole weekendah yeah..:-)

[Sauri]

on Oblivion i'm just grinding through all the different guilds becoming the leader of them.

im currently:

Arena - Grand Champion

Dark Brotherhood - Listener

Thieves Guild - Gray Fox

Fighter's Guild - Master

and I guess it means i should start on the main storyline now :( join the Blades. anyone know where I can loot the Elven Helmet? i have the full armour set bar the helmet :( im a wood elf to boot.:-)

[Shao]

Morrowind. Adored it. Not tried Oblivion yet mind u.



Agreed with Morrowind, gonna give Oblivion a try soon. I forsee less time online when I get that.

:ninja:

[Jedel]

I hate you guys, really I do.

My computer still doesnt run Oblivion very well. I get about 5 fps on extremely low resolution.

[Eelis]

My friend lent me oblivion and my puteh dont like it, just CTD on launch. Dont think my graphics card likes it :(

[Sauri]

its not as high end as it would appear. generally i would say if it doesnt run oblivion at all and its due to system spec you may want to upgrade the system, just as if it runs oblivion, you can garauntee it will also run the usual games better than you've ever had it:-) mind you i would recommend upgrading just to play Oblivion..so...or as some do, buy a 360 ;-)

apparently its much better GFX wise, so...oooooooooooooooooo..
