Ok, I saw this comment elsewhere and I'd be interested in hearing your answers.
If there was one game you could take with you on a deserted island for a long, long time, which would it be?
Ummmm Thats a tough one! there are so many different games I would want to take!
It's probably a toss up between Guild Wars or Disgea. I'm not as obsessed with Disgea as I am with Guild Wars, but the amount of time you *could* waste on Disgea could probably outwiegh Guild Wars.
I'd really love to get all my characters in Disgea up to level 5000! [:D]
Well I'm not sure about this one too...
If World of Warcraft did not exist, I would probably take Donkey Kong Country 2 or 3. Donkey Kong roxors my boxors! Omg wtf am I talking about?!? Damn u WoW!
I still exist by the way, I have just not had time to come to Sumea forums much with Uni and all. But I'm back for a brief amount of time!
For PC I?d definitely take Guild Wars; apart from my current addiction to it, I think the game could last me forever. GW has a lot of places to explore and heaps of monsters to kill, though, I tend to stay away from the trolls. [;)]
*cough*
Er, and for PS2 I?d take Gran Turismo 4, as GT is the one game I can easily keep coming back to.
Yep Reznor - I like the cut 'o yer jib.
I'd probably pick something that shipped with a full modding support and docs so I could finally catch up on my game dev :)
HL2+SDK? UT2K4 maybe?
Then I'd just plug my non existent PC into the nearest palm tree and crank out game after game for the trolls monkeys to play.
But if the island had power and a game console, why not the net? But the PC has a virus that doesn?t let you do anything except play your one game?
GuildWars chat:
?Help, I?m stranded on a deserted island somewhere!?
?WTS firery broadsword?
?No I?m serious, help me!?
?Just map to a town dude..?
?No, in real life, I?m lost on a deserted island. My plane crashed??
?WTS firery broadsword?
?
As for island games;
Lost the game when/if it gets made, because it?s also set on a kooky island where weird things happen like palm trees with power supplies. Or Spy VS Spy for C64. That was also on a deserted island.
lol, i never made level 1, as much as i wanted to i it took so long to raise the latter levels that i kept being distracted by new games and eventually stoped playing it. i was satisfyed though, i'd beaten the entire game in singleplayer (minus a few cheats) and beaten all the challenges in 1player multiplayer (my brothers just wern't good enough to help me with the 2 and 3 player versions).
so come to think of it, if morrowind is the game i would bring becuase it contains the most content to play through, then perfect dark would be the game i would bring because it is the game i could play for the longest time for pure enjoyment.
I had a preference of either Tetris or Bejewelled 2, and then I realised that I would probably get bored of them probably within a few months. I came to the conclusion that maybe a deck of cards would be better than a game for longevity, and then I remembered this great card game on the Amiga. It had 5 or so variations of Solitaire, and 15 or so other card games that you can play by yourself. The kicker is that you could play all the card games in succession and have your score saved in the highscore table. I seriously killed so much time with that game and trying to beat old scores. There's something about card games like Solitaire that you can play it forever.
Presuming there was a console to play it with - I'd take Phantasy Star III - The Generations of doom on Sega Megadrive. Without a doubt the RPG ive spent most time playing - (above 250hours) and still havent seen all the generations and played through their stories.
