Top 10 Consoles According to G4 Fans

[The Man in Blak 0]

I haven't checked into this thread in a while but, looking back, I probably should have relented a little bit on my No Mercy vs. Eternal Darkness argument. My opinion of No Mercy is probably skewed from the reaction that I've observed to the game here, as well as in other wrestling communities, so I probably tend to overrate it.

 

I'm still holding to my guns that the N64 was a more significant console than the Gamecube, but I will concede that it's because I put a lot more stock in the innovation factor, probably more than most.

 

Was the third one, X-Com Apocalypse or Armageddon or something, any good? I know you could choose RTS or turn-based, like X-Com could be remotely playable in real-time.

It was okay, but not nearly as fun as the first two.

That's an understatement, in my opinion. The alien design fell off of a cliff in Apocalypse, moving from Lovecraftian nightmares to these pastel-covered lumps that look like they emerged from an easy bake oven. The fact that you could recruit scientists with different specialties was a plus, but the real-time engine was a disappointment and it adversely affected the turn-based gameplay, since the game seemed to be balanced off of real-time play.

 

The first two games in the series are phenomenal, though. I've still got Terror From The Deep from the X-Com Collector's Edition installed on my laptop. There's an X-Com multiplayer mod out there too that you might want to check out, if you're a fan.

 

And yeah, System Shock 2 is an amazing game, even though I think I might like its "sequel", Deus Ex, that much more.

the only reason i like System Shock 2 more than Deus Ex is due to the horror aspects of the game, it was just so well designed as to really startle you when something happened out of nowhere.

 

Deus Ex is quite the game, as a matter of fact I may go reinstall and play it tonight ;p too bad DX2 was...less than amazing.

I am very surprised that N64 was ranked number 1. The main opinion of the N64 was that it was doomed from the start, because of the cartridge format.

 

I enjoyed it more that PS1 for some reason. I didn't get PS1 until later, JUST to have it mod chipped.
