thebackalleys

here is where we make our choices for the "best game of all time", (based on quality and a lasting image its projected on the industry) your "favorite game of all time"(game that you would want infinite content for) and pick for "worst game of all time"(worst piece of fucking shit you've ever played, new or old)

i guess i'll go first

BEST GAME
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.softsailor.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2010%2F07%2FHalf-Life_Cover_Art.jpg&hash=8ab110bd005bd249349f9f0d80472ab998cccd6e)
it may be dated and look like shit but it's still a blast to play. as the first fps i ever jumped into, it made itself clear and displayed the intensity, the frustration, the joy (and sometimes horror) of the genre. doom, quake 3, counter-strike, no other game could give as much thrills as the first time playing hl's campaign, and i had wondered why- now i realize it's because that half life wasn't a game where 'bigger was better', it's a crazy trip into 'survival of the fittest' territory- it's a game that is truly the sum of it's parts. playing half life is a fantastic endeavor and should be played by everyone.  

FAVORITE GAME

fuck yes

splinter cell had been a favorite for a while but when chaos theory came out... welp. the game looked fucking fantastic and it played fantastic, engine work that was done to chaos theory made the game feel a lot less stiff and added new dimension to the stealth game that felt closer than ever to the action. not to mention feeling like a stealthy badass after sneaking through every mission unseen. oh yeah and there's co-op, that shit's tight as well.

WORST GAME
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamersace.com%2Fimages%2FXbox-Drake.jpg&hash=9e7f47829aa43fa2070d11bcc2d45782a0feb17e)
fuck this game

"what would happen if frank miller made a game"

as a game that makes that claim with horrid ripoffs of the style, well i can assure you that it might not be AS shit

wins the award for worst control scheme ever, dumbest plot ever, outstanding technical issues, worst overall game

favorite-
Metroid series(no one saw that coming)
Robotech invasion(feels held back, should be remade)
Macross (x) frontier(the PSP games not the anime)
Halo reach(barely made it, was still good, solid campaign, gameplay, so on.)
Mass effect series
Chrono Trigger
Minecraft

good-
Halo
robotech battlecry (jesus so many failed missions)
Fallout series
Too human(people say it's bad but I haven't played through the whole thing yet, still feels alright)
Assassin's creed
Hydrophobia: Prophecy(nice gameplay, too short)
Pikmin

Bad-
Infinite space(liked the plot, too much text, slow mechanics, overall, bad game)
Sonic(everything, however it was fun when I was a kid, but when I went back to play it, it felt terrible somehow. Maybe it's all the furries at my school)

Can't think of much else...

no one remembers it and no one talks about it
but it is in fact the worst ever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XSrNlYtamM

things to do while watching:

look how its fucking shrek
look how much it wants to be mario kart and even that kind of didnt work on the gba all that well
listen to the fucking title screen music jesus christ what is it even trying to be HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ANYTHING SO FUCKING AWFUL
look at that picture of shrek on the cart in the menu i mean what
look at the 3d characters on the selection screen
look at the comic sans-esque font with black outline when choosing a course
look how broken the racing mechanics are. just watch him try and steer. WATCH HIS FUTILE ATTEMPT AT MANEUVERING SHREK
look how choppy everything is. look how every obstacle comes at you just as you are in front of it.
look how ugly the course looks everthing is fucking brown and green
listen to those sound effects (playing "bye bye" every time you bump into someone without shrek S fucking things or whatever/ the banging and clanging and screeches/ pixely lo-fi fart sound effects when certain items are used)
listen to how repetitive the music is aaaaaaaaaaa
look how shitty the animation on EVERYTHING is LOOK AT THE FUCKING SMOKE ON THE SCREECHING TIRES IT JUST STAYS (another note, this smoke and screeching happens randomly and dramatically affects your turning (not that you could anyway). sometimes itll happen and sometimes it wont.)
look how bizarre the items are (instead of shells there are pumpkins/ what is that hood shit? is that like the ghost in mario kart? but you dont take an item? i mean what/
WHAT DOES THE FUCKING CINDERELLA SHOE DO)
another thing to note: the instruction manual contains NOTHING to help you. everything you had to pretty much figure out on your own.

in conclusion: fuck this game. it beats big rigs for title of worst racing game simply because that game wasnt  finished. this is a full finished product that was widely distributed based on a popular movie franchise. this was funded my a major studio to be produced. also, its shrek. fuck you shrek.

lmao thats horrible

Yeah it really is a horrible game. Your caveman runs like 4mph and the randomly falls asleep every couple on mins for no reason (EVEN as you are running or hitting an animal or doing something else, BLAM the polygon figure becomes immobile and falls on its face snoring) and you can't wake him up either, so you just sit there with the controller in your hands staring at it snore for like 3 mins until it stands up again and you run some more on a green wasteland with no objects,trees, or landscape...then more mins go by and he goes back to sleep again. Also if you see ANYTHING like a bad guy in the distance it can hit you once and you instantly die because there is no health meter...and then you start back at camp and wherever you were on the map (like the one hour you ran to get on the other continent, you have to do that ALL OVER AGAIN to get back there). The game really really sucked

Quote from: BloodyCheeryGamecube

Hey, it's not really a popularity contest but a choice one feels. I had still preferred playing the N64 than the Gamecube, so my choices are pretty small for that category. Whatever.

luigi's mansion was kinda fun

it would have been more fun if it was more than 3 hours long

also lmao zop i remember reading a review for that shrek kart game

other really good games i'd call my faves:

yoshi's island - best platformer ever motherfuckers plus actual tactics are used in the boss battles. unlike most other mario games where you just jump on shit to win. its a shame yoshi's story was awful

advance wars 2 - everything about this is gold. its a simple strategy game on the surface but delve past the first few missions and holy fuck you will not be able to stop playing - the game is deceptively tactical and deep. i used to be fairly impatient with strategy games, but thankfully AW2 moves along at a steady pace. also the CO you choose will affect your battle pretty dramatically, and there's like 16 to choose from

streets of rage 2 - 2 player co op on this is still fun. the other two SoR games aren't so great nowadays but this one is still a gem

viewtiful joe - kickass visual style. pretty much a modern streets of rage with a speed-up/slow-down gimmick

outrun 2006 - outrun is dated as fuck now so sega updated it with a slick modern sequel. i used to play this in the arcades all the time

final fantasy 9 - the only FF i'll still probably play, the plot and characters are interesting, everything moves quicker than normal FF games and the main quest thing is huge. plus it still looks decent for a PS1 game

tales of phantasia - awesome battle system, hilarious unofficial translation (snes version), cool sprites

gunstar heroes - just really fun best co op ever

banjo kazooie - rare at their peak. reason to get an n64 along with ocarina, goldeneye, mario kart. shame it was all downhill a few years after they released this.

battle circuit - really fun '97 capcom beat em up with over the top characters. pretty much as good as they got to perfecting the 'final fight' formula. you fight an elvis impersonator boss at one point.

power stone - yes

the shittest of shit:

war gods - remember when mortal kombat was cool the first time round? eventually it became uncool so midway ripped themselves off and created this god awful fighter for the arcade. but even worse than the arcade game was the shitty n64 port just take a look! plus one of the characters is called 'kabuji jo' and he looks like ronald mcdonald

sonic labyrinth - everyone plays sonic games to go fast right? then why is this the slowest fucking piece of shit i've ever played i hate you sonic labyrinth

carmageddon 64 - the only good thing about this game is that the germans got so upset about it that they changed the humans to zombies

awesome possum - THE TITLE SCREEN THE SHITTY SONIC RIPOFF GAMEPLAY THE GOD DAMN VOICES OH MY GOD

it changes a lot but

Best: Starcraft II (current most played by me for months and a professional sport in South Korea and now the US.)
Favorite: Pokémon Silver (ate 90% of my childhood. the other 10% was consumed by other Pokémon titles and Paper Mario.)
Worst: Sonic Heroes (i'm sure there are worse Sonic titles, but i haven't actually had the misfortune of playing them. i actually felt embarrassed playing Sonic Heroes. it's one of those games you don't want other people to watch you play through, not even as a joke.)


runnerups:

Best: Team Fortress 2 (it used to be functional and really fun and not visually distracting before they added a plethora of terrible items. the game is kind of a turnoff now)
Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (pure fun with some competitive value)
Kirby's Adventure (basically has everything you can like about a platformer)

Favorite: Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear Solid 4 (not the best games, but i've always liked how Kojima tells stories, even if it's sometimes way overly wordy. i feel like the power of his symbolism is unmatched in any game i've ever played)
Yume Nikki (just play this one and see what I mean)
Pokémon Soul Silver, Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon Emerald (all probably the most 'complete' Pokémon games)
Portal 2 (much better and funnier than Portal, it was a pleasure to play through twice)

Worst: to be honest I don't actually buy a lot of videogames. When I do, it's because I already played it beforehand at a friend's house or saw a trailer or because it was part of a series i really liked already. so because of that i don't actually really have a lot of bad games, but if i had to pick another one it'd be
Shadow the Hedgehog (another really bad, confusing Sonic game. another one you have to play through to understand the shittiness)
others might include every rerun of a madden game and the majority of movie cashcow games (literal example: BARNYARD: THE GAME)

there are other ones i really want to play but haven't yet so i'm sure this list will change

Aww but I liked Sonic Heros and Shadow the Hedgehog

this isnt really the worst game ever but i think it deserves a honorable mention for being so BAD and so popular during its time of release.

its a game that i loved as a kid, but only now do i realize how poorly crafted it is.

This game is poorly written, poorly programmed, poorly voice acted, the enemy colissions dont work and the level designs are often awkward and go against logic. And it is one of the few games that ive ever played with Agressively obvious bad animation.

Sonic adventure 2. i believe, probably incorrectly, this is where the sonic franchise started getting really damn bad

I mean look at these fuckin cutscenes with horrible lipsinc somehow i dont believe that the animation fit even with the original voice cast.

LOOK AT HOW NONE OF THE CHARACTERS EVER FINISH THEIR OWN LINE OF (already stupid) DIALOGUE BEFORE THE OTHER ONE  STARTS TALKING. its nearly always leaving a big gap of silence or theres two characters talking at the same time OR the music is too loud and you cant hear what theyre saying. this seems to be more frequent with eggman

it doesnt even make fuckin sense why did that bat girl need to be rescued she has wings!!!!!

hey lookit me ma im floatin

also everyone in this game is so obnoxious!!!!!! aaaaa

sonic labyrinth rocked

Quote from: emanhattanSonic adventure 2. i believe, probably incorrectly, this is where the sonic franchise started getting really damn bad

It's not incorrect. SA1 wasn't that great either.

I actually think Sonic Heroes was a much better game in a lot of ways, the gameplay was kind of fun at least and the switching between three characters was pretty cool, plus it was also sort of fast-paced in some areas if I remember correctly. That being said, it was lousy as far as actual story-telling goes and most of the characters were terrible. I think there was some frustrating level design as well, but it's been years since I played it so I can't say for sure anymore.

Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 2006 + everything after that was pretty shit, though supposedly the werewolf one was actually kind of decent.

the non-werewolf parts, yeah

SA1, for its time, was actually an incredible game and the best DC launch title. SA2 was solid, but was just an improved SA1 with some new uninspired characters

everything after that was pretty boring or just plain bad until sonic colors, nix the DS titles which were pretty good sidescrollers.

i would argue that sonic 2006 is the funniest game of all time

sonic advance wasnt bad
nor sonic rush

Quote from: Billyi would argue that sonic 2006 is the funniest game of all time

Sonic Heroes was pretty funny too.

Well the voice acting was at least.

Quote from: nonzopsonic advance wasnt bad

i should have said nix all handhelds - but i'm pretty sure sonic rush was for the DS

but sonic heroes isn't falling apart at the seams at every moment and just constantly glitching out like crazy

true true fair enough

Best and favorite go hand in hand for me. And of the best/fav combo it is a tie:

as for the worst, probably one of the final fantasy games i tried to play for the PS2. never was a fan of those games.

i used to love both sonic adventure games but they're barely fuckin tolerable anymore.  in addition to that, fuck heroes and nearly everything afterward, tho i should probably still give sonic 4 and colors a try.

how can you like this game when it has the fuckign worst multiplayer connectivity/support of all fucking time

Quote from: retrosmashi used to love both sonic adventure games but they're barely fuckin tolerable anymore.  in addition to that, fuck heroes and nearly everything afterward, tho i should probably still give sonic 4 and colors a try.

skip sonic 4 go straight to colors
sonic 4 physics are awful

sonic heroes;

"The title received mixed to good reviews, according to games aggregates websites. Positive points noted include a gameplay style similar to the series' 2D roots, and the game's vibrant environments and graphics; negative points raised include the camera system, some level design issues, and the game's voice acting."

pretty much what i remembered it to be
