Inspired by the "Greatest Disapointment" thread.
What games did you run across in a dollar bin? Download from Gamers Gate for 50 cents? Have a friend give it to you because they were simply done with it?
How many of you looked at those games and thought "This is going to be the biggest waste of time.....period .
Then to your surprise BAM! It is the most entertaining game you have played in a while.
What games would those be?
For me it is :
Sins of a Solar Empire - Bought it as a whim from Walmart. I was convinced it was going to be bad but I had nothing to lose. I was very wrong.
American Conquest - I bought this from Target for 10 bucks for a Christmas gift for a friend. I was meant to be a gag/joke gift but after we both played it (ignoring the bugs and flaws of the game) it was really not that bad at all. Especially for the price.
Diablo 2 - Even after not playing it for years I went back to it to get a friend of mine into it. I had completely forgotton how great of a game it was. I can remember now how addicting it all was.
Have kinda mixed feelings over AvP2, had gotten a little into the modding side of NOLF, and it was the same engine, so I brought it purely because of that, rather than the fact I like the AvP thang. (which I do enjoy) It introduced a few more mod'able body parts. What killed it for me was smartguns in online play. They had a built in autoaim, you know, what other fps consider a hack.
The bit I loved though was single player campaign, such atmosphere. Just how many pulse rifle rounds did you empty into that piece of ducting that fell through the roof in the bigging of the marine campaign?
The smartgun's auotaim was pretty much necessary at some point during the SP campaign, I never played MP with AvP2, so I can't comment on its status in MP.
No other game has ever come close to reproducing the atmosphere of AvP2. The SP campaign is very well put together and yes I did empty half a clip on that damn thing when fell off.
