What is the Coolest Game YOU'VE Played?

I forgot to mention one... Freelancer. The first game I ever exceeded 1000hrs playtime on.

Sounds familiar, that was one of Chris Roberts projects right? Are you optimistic for his latest endeavours?

 

Also regarding your other comment aye Tribes is great fun and stands out on its own with that movement system. Though, I remember finding games a bit more difficult compared to Quake or UT. Might just be me not knowing where to look these days. At the moment I am waiting for Midair:CE to come out and play some pugs in their discord. Maybe I'll spot you there as well!

Yeah, from back when he was working at Digital Anvil. I've got Everspace 2, so not that interested in paying $50 for a single ship right now.

That is because it requires an entirely different gameplay style than the other two. You rarely jump or run in Tribes. If you're not moving as fast as a UT rocket, you're a sitting duck for the pros. (and the pros have been playing for 20 years) Since it's such a fast moving playstyle that most (even other games "pros") can't keep up with, it tends to attract fewer people to play, and when the game is 20 years old, the problem is aggravated further.

I hadn't heard of it before... I would play it, but I've gotten away from games of that sort almost entirely due to issues with muscle injuries caused by the precise rapid staccato movements I was making to stay a "top player". (nearly ripped a muscle off my elbow once, never again)

Definitely Little Big Planet 2 for the PS3.
