Relenzo2 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I still have a forty dollor gift card for Target, so, what should I get? Is BF2142 good, or KOTOR, or maybe GuildWars? Post your thoughts on best video games. (for PC) This is assuming they don't have the Time Spiral set for MTG, but I'm pretty sure they don't.

milo Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I dunno. Depends on what kind of games you like to play. I'd buy KotOR if you haven't already, and then Guild Wars. I've heard Battlefield 2142 gets old kind of fast, and the system requirements are high too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Time Spiral? I thought Planaar Chaos was just released moments ago. Or about to anyways. BF 2142 is fun, but perhaps a bit lacking. It's EA after all. If you like Battlefront I guess it's your thing. As milo stated, there is no "best game". Provide a list of games you like and we may help to offer some recommendations.

Relenzo2 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well I have BFII and I think it rocks. I am currently involved in the BFIII supah thread. And I thin kthe prerelease torumy's for planar choas have yet to start. Besides, Time Spiral is bigger, and I'd like timeshifted cards and slivers. I have been thinking of getting Guild Wars lately. But really, how good is KOTOR? I'd like to know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 If you don't yet have KotOR, get that for sure. You honestly will not regret it. It provided me with some of my all time gaming moments. LucasArts just released a "best of" set that includes EoW, KotOR, Republic Commando, Jedi Outcast and Battlefront. That's $39.99. Or you could just pick up KotOR and TSL, which should add up to be $39.98 and will bring you up to date on the state of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is exactly what I decided to get when I had to choose for Christmas.

CountVerilucus Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 get Rome Total War if you like strategy, my favorite strategy. Medieval Total War 2 is the newest one they've come out with, just make sure your computer can handle it. Requirements are high, but if not Rome total war is good. I'm more into the Roman era anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 ']Yep, this is exactly what I decided to get when I had to choose for Christmas. Here's a slight picture of the cover, to know what you're looking for if you want to get it: QFE It contains two of the best games ever produced, KotOR and Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.

Relenzo2 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 lol no Rome I already have the best: Civilizations. And WOAH, how can that pack for forty $ have like three 50 $ games in it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Or you could just pick up KotOR and TSL, which should add up to be $39.98 and will bring you up to date on the state of the series. Words of wisdom... Both games are fairly cheap, and have tons of replay value. Even after three and a half of years of KotOR, I'm still not bored with it. The reviews about it aren't exaggerating. The sequel's definitely worth getting, too. Although it has some new features, it's the darker (and more original) story that I think makes it better than the first game. Not to say I think KotOR has a bad plot, though. You won't regret getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 lol no Rome I already have the best: Civilizations. And WOAH, how can that pack for forty $ have like three 50 $ games in it??? nough! I have SW The Best of PC, and I would like to cut the #^$% and just present the facts. 1) the set is still in stores. After all, plenty of copies were made, and the whole "available only for holiday '06" stuff is just a marketing gimick. On this you can trust me, as I am a marketing major and frequent store and online purchaser of SW goods. 2: The set is only on DVD ROM, meaning that your computer must have a DVD drive in order to play the set. 3: There are three discs in the box: disc one (KOTOR & EaW) disc 2 (Jedi Outcast, Rep. Commando, SW Battlefront), and disc three (a 14 day trial of SW Galaxies) 4: installation is very fast, due to the games being on DVD rather than CD ROM 5: the manuals are all included in Adobe PDF format, so they can be altered, printed, edited, ect. Essentially, it is a way of letting you have as many copies of the manuals as you will need. 6: the insert in each set contains your registration codes. DO NOT LOSE THE INSERT, unless you have the codes written down. 7: The registration of the games is reccommended to be done over high speed internet, and is somewhat necessary. 8: The games are fully complete, with all online content also available. 9: The SW Galaxies disc is only a demo, and requires high speed internet. 10: just because the set retails for 40 dollars, does not mean that is a definite. Shop around, and you might be surprised at what youll find. I was. 11: This collection is pretty much the only place to get new copies of some of the included games from a store, especially KOTOR. 12: Nothing much else, except that I cannot wait for the next collection (assuming they make one) 13: One final thing: it is definitely worth buying. Massacrus out. (havent typed that in a while) http://www.galacticsenate.com/showthread.php?t=14160&page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soogz Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 For MMO's City of Heroes/Villians, and yes as much as I hate to say it WoW. I'd have to say Knights of the Old Republic, or Sith Lords. Just a random couple to throw out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 BF 2142 is fun, but perhaps a bit lacking. It's EA after all. If you like Battlefront I guess it's your thing. The problem is that like BF:Vietnam, it's not enough of an upgrade to buy at full price. More like an expansion pack x1.25. Battlefield II has more value for the money, if you don't already have it.

stingerhs Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 if you're into FPS, the best bets for your money right now are Quake 4, Unreal 2k4, Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode 1, Republic Commando, and Battlefield 2. honorable mention goes to Oblivion, but its still an RPG at heart, so i don't truly classify it as an FPS.

Carlo El Sanchez Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Out of the choices you have, id say KOTOR...if you havn't got that already...get it...you must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Battlefield II has more value for the money, if you don't already have it. Thing is; 2142 is IMO better and has more to offer than II. While one may complain about the lack of changes between 2 and 2142, if you're starting from scratch I recommend 2142 as they aren't selling BF2 in "budget titles" just yet. The Star Wars best of PC is a great recommendation. Jedi Outcast, KOTOR and Rep Commando alone make this a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niner_777 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Republic Commando FTW!!!111one I've been playing that game for over a year and I still love it! I got BF2142 for Christmas and I bought a new expensive graphics card and played it about three days before going Republic Commando -- durn punkbuster won't let me play! >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Republic Commando was good, very good and i would certainly buy a sequel if one came out. BUT, it had zero replayability for me. It was so linear, there was nothing that made me want to play it over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaelastraz Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Team Fortress II !!! If it's released yet. A super cool tactic shooter for intense online play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I say get Best of PC of Star Wars, it has some great games for a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Dando Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm probably gonna buy KOTOR now, everyone keeps going on about how good it is Half Life 2 is well worth a look into at least, if you like that sort of thing, though you do pretty much need Broadband to install/play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Out of the ones you posted, KotOR. But i'll give you a rundown of some great games: KotOR TSL Neverwinter Nights (Only $20) And my personal fav, Warlords Battlecry II. Best strategy game EVER!!

lord ignarn Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The best of SW looks great (and looks like it has kotor 1 and 2), or maybe Neverwinter Nights 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
