Not saying these are all "great."
Not saying these are all even "good."
And obviously, almost none of them approach the quality of an average novel.
I am saying it's better than fucking Bloodlines, for Christ's sake.
I'll limit myself to games that are actually in my cabinets, within arm's reach.
Fallout
Wasteland
Ultima 6
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate II
Psychonauts
Portal
Spellcasting 101: Sorcerers Get All The Girls
Ultima 7
Deus Ex
Arena
Crusader: No Remorse
Sam & Max Hit the Road
The Space Bar
Morrowind
The Circuit's Edge
Shadows Over Riva
Snatcher
Blade Runner
No One Lives Forever
Oblivion
Daggerfall
Fallout 3
Grand Theft Auto 4
Grand Theft Auto 3
Grand Theft Auto Vice City
Freedom Force
Gabriel Knight
Star Trek: Judgment Rites
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
Star Trek: A Final Unity
The Pawn
Guild of Thieves
Knight Orc
Corruption
annnnnnnnnnnnd Jinxter (possibly the best-written game of all-time)
"Well, that's unfair, you cherry picked scree-" No, I typed in vampire and bloodlines into Google Image Search and posted what I found.
"You just listed every ga-" No, stuff like Sin and Icewind Dale and Kingpin and Beyond Zork were just as painful, maybe even moreso. They at least had the fact that they were finished going for them.
HE'S WRITING A MOVIE ABOUT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION!!!????? HREWHREHERHEWHREHREHWHWRHERHWHWRHE
Who the fuck lets that through? Who the fuck looks at the xml for the script, turned in by some jelly-assed fucking RETARD and says, "Oh, perfect - yeah, you really nailed it, glad we went to a third revision there, whew!" Much like the rest of the game, nobody FUCKING GAVE A SHIT. The building housing the creators of this game was a romper room for malformed, socially-maladjusted troglodytes. The best thing Activision could have done in its corporate history, besides creating the very industry of third-party software, would have been to lock the exits and light the place on fire instead of pay the last milestone.
Maybe these guys can make a strong comeback and merchandise Share Bears or something, though.
(All this being said, it's better than Mass Effect.)
the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey! |
