Welcome to STAG
> Games you missed at the time, but want to revisit

I've never seen that happen, really.  On the PC version, at least, whenever I've killed a Daddy, no matter where I've managed to drag him to, the Little Sister will find  his corpse, and cry over it saying things like "Noooo! Mister BUBBLES!!" and you can just waltz on up and do your thing with her (fnarr).  I've never had one run away from the fight, as she always stays to root for her Daddy.

Bioshock was an awesome game! I'm not a fan of that kind of thing usually but that was great.

I think that its biggest disappointment was that the plamids promised so much gameplay variation, yet mostly ended up pretty dull and uneless.  I also failed to see the sense in effectively giving three of them to the player wrapped up in one gun.  If they'd been more important to the gameplay as a whole the entire experience may have been a lot deeper than it actually was.

Aye.  I wasn't a fan either of the universal ammo.  Like most things in Deus Ex 2, it just felt dumbed-down and simplified. Like they wanted to make deus ex 2 for non fps-players - but released on a console where the majority of its titles WERE FPS.  Just all very... odd.  Limited.

Well despite promising myself that I'd take a different approach to DE1 this time around, I'm still a bad-ass ninja-type sneak meister, and I still shot Navarre in the face when she asked me to execute Lebedev.  I'm currently at the 'Ton, trying to see if Paul can be saved, and realising that my stealthy approach has made this task much harder.

Must go back to Blue Dragon (I only finished up to disc 1).

Must go back to Fallout 3 (I quite like it now!)

Must go back to Eat Lead (Fucking tentacle bit!)

Must at least give Condemed enough time to get a completion!

Must redo my Burnout Paradise licences!

Must go back to Stranglehold!

Must go back to The Maw!

Wouldn't mind finally finishing up Kameo!

Argh, so many games started and so many needing attention to be marked "complete". 

The Maw and Kameo are both on my list of games I would like to complete, yes yes.

I got Kameo the day the 360 came out back in 2005.  I got RIGHT NEAR THE END and the the Great Hard Drive Crash happened and I lost all my saves.

Going back and redoing it all will require some patience!

I have so many games that im playing right now that i need to get back to.

Bioshock (i too that the big daddies were really hard)
Mass Effect (i do not find it dull at all, the universe is quite interesting to me, i even read all the codex entries as i get them)
Burnout Paradise (all i do is mess around)
Dead Space
Grand Theft Auto IV
and i still have 3 (i think) Fallout 3 expansions to beat.  Point Lookout, Mothership Zeta, and The Pitt.

Keep your save from ME1.

Playing ME2 now and at almost every turn there's some tiny piece of cleverness affected by ME1 if you have a save.

I *highly* recommend you finish Bioshock and GTA4, at the very least.  Both are great.

I almost finished GTA4. I got to the part where you have the choice of the two final mission runs, and failed both. I don't feel like I want or need to go back and finish it*. I did get the Liberty City Stories though, which I am hoping will be More Of The Same But Different.

*I feel the same about FF VII, a game I loved, and didn't complete, having got as far as running around doing all the loose bits before the final run to battle the end stuff. Having been told that the final fight involves a lot of 10 minute repeated scenes of Big Attacks, I decided to leave it unfinished, but still happy for having played it.

I saw Thief: The Dark Project on my shelf, I am tempted to reinstall it. I never played past the tutorial originally, due to an (ultimately hapless) intention to complete the first two games beforehand.

I thought GTA IV was the best of the bunch to start with, but became gradually more disillusioned the further I progressed.  What happened to the ridiculous on-rails shooting missions?  The OTT unique jumps?  The proper, arcade-style taxi, ambulance and fire missions?  The map was also far too similar, it may have been a great recreation of it's intended environment, but it lacked the sense of place and feel of the GTA III and VC maps, where a player instantly knew where he was and where he was going.  Not helped by being able to take a taxi everywhere.  And the fucking mobile phones was pure annoyance.

Myself, I swapped Killzone 2 for the Orange Box yesterday.  I finished HL2 on Xbox and 360, but never got as far as playing EP1 & 2, and only cleared a few chambers on Portal.  So why oh why oh why have I started HL2 again?  God damn it, it's not like I'm short of games to play or anything.

Vice City was always my favourite GTA.

Mine also, fried gold it was

Going back to Gears of War at some point I'm sure. Think there is a whole topic somewhere about how I got stuck not long after the tutorial! Ha!

Blue Dragon - was one of those games that I thought would be J-RPG light, and worth a quick trawl through for an afternoon before being discarded like a used tissue. Then, in the opening scene, my little Japanese main character yells "COME ON, YOU BASTARD!" at a giant metal shark, and that sort of hooked me. I never got around to finishing it but I wouldn't mind the opportunity.

Fallout 3 - I believe I have already mentioned my love affair with this game, and so shall not repeat it here. All I'll say is, "GARY!"

Eat Lead - never played it. No fancy to either. If somebody wants to try changing my mind, go right ahead.

Condemned - now THIS is more my meteor. OK, so the combat can be a bit shonky in places, and the 'forensic' parts are little more than 'point this at that and see where you go next', but, dammit, there's something... loveable about this game. In that it's a freakish, twisted, deviant, dystopian journey into the mind of a serial killer with a penchant for grime and torture. Sort of like Saw - the holiday camp. There's one particular moment in the school gym that actually made me turn off the game in fright, and no other game ever released has ever managed that particular feat.

Burnout Paradise - meh, it's not Forza. Hell, it's barely even Burnout. What the hell happened to the Crash mode?

Stranglehold - seemed to me to be one of those games that is more fun when you watch it, so I could never get into the darn thing.

The Maw and Kameo - never played either of them, so I can't comment.

There's not really any games that I've missed that I want to play, so I guess you could say I'm rather fulfilled (or rather uninformed). I tell you what though, if someone were to announce that they were making another Wing Commander* game, I'd be all over that like custard on jelly.

*EDIT* I can vouch for Bioshock. I've played that game to death and earned all the points - yes, I have the Brass Balls achievement, just like I have the One Free Bullet achievement from HL:ep1, and the Little Rocket Man achievement from HL:ep2 (/bragging) - and I will defend it TO THE DEATH. The whole experience of Rapture is one that everyone should be privy to, it's just like a really good book that you can't put down. I agree though, the end boss was a pussy.

_{* And when I say a Wing Commander game, I mean a proper one with a cockpit view and full 3-d controls, in HD. Not that Live Arcade bullshit from the other year, that was garbage.}

I need to go back and finish Bioshock, if only because I want the sequel.

Pretty much anything on the Commodore Amiga as I only had fifteen games for it.

Is it bad the first thing I thought was "Count 'em."?
