Replayability

UmmErrKane · Posted: Thu Nov 21, 2002 9:51 pm Post subject: Replayability

What's going on with replayability in games? I mean, the last replayable game I played was Deus Ex. I've played a lot of games since then, and a lot of good ones, but none of them seem to be fun to play again. Anyone noticed that? Or, perhaps, know some good replayable games?

Age Of Empires 2 is the best replayable game I know. The feature for recording games was so much well done that we have thousands of kick ass recorded games avaiable in many websites.

Starcraft's replay feature also rocks, but Wacraft 3 sorta sucks, because it's really buggy. Sometimes it really works, but in some others, it's completely fucked up, specially in custom campaigns...

Red Alert 2 also has record game feature that Deezire found out, however it's rare or impossible to find a Ra2 recorded game in the net.

I guess I should elaborate on what I meant by "Replayability." By Replayability, I mean, how much fun it is to play a second (Or third, or fourth) time.

Sorry about that, Kane... Let me see... in this case... Age Of Empires 2... I play it and play it again a lot of times... well, not now, because I dont have much time, but I'll return to play it over and over again...

But I'm talking about recent games. In the past few years, replayability in games has gone down a lot. It's really unfortunate.

NWN is quite good in that respect, all the characters, races and other combinations make the posibilities almost endless

Man, now I want AOM @.@

NWN is good for replayability in singleplayer, but it's REALLLLLY long. Took me 3 months to beat (Though I was playing some other games at the same time). It is great for moddage though, so I guess that counts.

Its a shame that I suck hardcore at Age of Mythologies...

UT = Unreal Tournament?

Sorry, I´m not that good with shooter games...

TS · Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2002 4:54 am Post subject:

Me and my friends my switch off from playing HALO on LAN to Ureal Tournament Championship(same thig as UT2003). There starting to get bored of halo, but I dont see how thats possible... They probably dont want to play it because they suck at it. Especially alex... Poor guy... I dont think theirs one game hes good at, not even pong or tetris

I'm talking about other skills outside playing games...

You mean like sports? He sux at sports almost as bad as he plays video games. The only sport hes probably good in is water polo. He was on our schools water polo team. He's a strong swimmer because he has a pool. Cat think of aythig else hes good at. Hedoes get slightly better grades than me though.

You see? At the grades, he's good...

TS · Posted: Sun Dec 15, 2002 8:25 am Post subject:

well not good, but slightly better. Like I'll get a D in economics and he will get a D+, etc. Also Alex was a PPM member back in the day, I think he was known as Energy Commando or somethin like that. He was big trouble maker. Anyone remember him?

Warcraft III - Although you wouldn't know since you can't play online. Battle.Net really rocks, thanks to the World Editor.

TS: Yes, I do remember him. He was pissed that we used computers and thought that we had no external life and constantly complained about it. But, at least I, do have external life and used computer just like him...

CC; I definitely agree, but that damn build limit is sick.

If the build limit wasn't there, people would build rediculous amounts of units, and it would be unstoppable (Example: 100 gryphons, or 100 dryads) it would ruin the entire game if it wasn't in there.

If you really don't like it try playing the World War 3 map, it has no build limit, and wood is only needed for researches and upgrades. Additionally there are no air units; if you don't like that it's fairly simple to put back in yourself. That's the beauty of the World Edit.

NS is good with the Aurora toolset. I just checked and there's over 1700 full mods, and I'm not talking about wimpy ones like Warcraft has (Ie. one or maybe two maps), I'm talking about big, multiple map, 2-5 hour SP mods. Also, there's a project to convert FF1 into NWN, and in addition, someone built it a persistance engine (Ie. it turns it into an MMORPG)
