...... you dont get what im asking do you?

Not sure if I get your point, but for me it comes down to the following:
the only games that last are games with MP-ability.

For a long time I played BZ2 and SoF-gold, now I tend to play BZ2 and Battlefield 1942.
(I also play Morrowind and Oblivion, but anything else is just a matter of 'finishing it once, to never play it again')

Base building RTS and something close to a First person shooter or generic action shooter.
There aren't many games like it.  The RTS aspect of it helps in playing it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, as you can always build different units, set your base up a little differently, use different tactics.

The shooter aspect keeps you more in the game so you get less bored with the "overseer" role.  Or perhaps thats just me, but I sometimes get tired when playing other Real time strategy where you are only an overseer all knowing and seeing.

Sheeesh, I have to get out more.  I had no idea there were expansions to HL2 and Doom3...

Funny to see Doom2 on your list, I recently had a twinge of nostalgia and grabbed GLQuake.  I can't believe how much time I spent squinting at those dark, fuzzy levels, or how easy it is even on Nightmare to totally pwn the AI...  


I have to ask what "World of GOO" is...  lol...

Still, I have a bunch of cool games also (cool, but old) and none compare to BZ...

And for me MP isn't as important for replayability as it used to be.  I guess I burned out on Quake, Doom2, Tribes and Tribes 2 as far as butting heads against LPB's, arrogant 9 year olds, and hackers...  In fact I think what turned the tide for me was getting fireballed in town in Diablo.  I was really enjoying the community until that happened, and sad to say I let hackers ruin the game for me.

...... you dont get what im asking do you?

Yes we do.

No, it is not strange. We have even more than you do and still prefer BZ2 as well.

I also have 50 or so console games Spread across DS, PSP, PS2, PS3, and Wii. so yeah i do have about as much as you.

[Nielk1]

I didn't list my 50 modern console games, 50 classic console carts, and various non steam games.

Allllll got for cheap.

[cheesepuffly]

When you say modern what do you mean?

[Nielk1]

Disks instead of carts.

[cheesepuffly]

oh ok.

No BZ2 is an outstanding and unique game. It is the only game currently installed on my system, several times...
Sometimes I think their must be other games as good as this out there, waiting for me to discover them, but it seems that there is not... GAME making does not seem to be nearly as important to the industry as sales and presentation are.

[TheJamsh]

I must admit im REALLY into Gears of War, but thats XBOX based, for which im kind of thankful. wouldn't want to know how big the game is in terms of terrabytes...

However, my first thoughts where "hmm, i wonder if i can acheive some of this in BZ2?"

Sure enough... im trying!
