I was torn between FEAR and Doom. 1. The game that got me into first person shooters to begin with. 2. The game that took just about everything I like about FPS's and crammed it into one game(with the exception of storyline, who plays them for storyline anyway)
Also..., I played the original Ultima's a little bit, but, ugh..., couldn't take much of them..., don't know if i made it as far as Ultima V.
But, did you ever try Ultima Online..., that game looked fun.
I hated FEAR with a passion. I beat it in like a week, not even playing very much, the story sucked, and there were like three levels they cut and pasted over and over and over. It was SUCH a disappointment. It came from the same studio that made my favorite game ever (NOLF), and had a souped-up cutting-edge version of the same engine (Lith) and they spent all their time on making it pretty and forget to make it fun or interesting.
Seriously, dude, let me give you the NOLF games. They're long, they're hilarious, they're great FPSs in their own right, and the level-design is amazing. Plus you won't puss out and say you can't play them because it's too dark and they scare you, like FEAR and Doom3 did. :)
Ha. The original Ultima games (III and earlier) sucked... though I guess they were ahead of their time (being the early 80s and all). From Ultima IV on, every Ultima game (except for Ultima VIII) was a massive leap in depth, size, and technology from the previous Ultima game.
Ultima Online was pretty cool. My system at the time was a little slow (and I was on dial-up), so I'd usually get pwned in PvP.
No Ultima VII? I never beat it but I always found it to be the most captivating. I got it working on my XP machine a couple of months ago with an open-source re-done engine, but they'd changed the engine so much that I ended up with a massive party of like 8 people and it just looked stupid with all of them walking around and complaining about being hungry so I quit. Which is a retarded reason to quit, but I got something new to play anyways.
You wouldn't happen to have a copy of Planescape: Torment lying around, would you? I've been hearing amazing things about that game for years.
The only reason that Ultima VII (and Ultima VII part 2) isn't in the list is because I never actually got to really play it. At the time, my system couldn't run it, so a friend of mine played it instead and would tell me about all of the crazy plot developments and stuff.
Holy shit...someone else played Phantasy Star! I still have the music from the nightmare sequence run through my head every once in a while...and when Nei's clone kills her.
Not to mention that Phantasy Star II had a gloriously bleak ending... You destroy the Evil Mother Brain(tm)... and discover the vast conspiracy behind everything, and then you get overrun and killed because you can't be allowed to escape with the knowledge.
