VIDEO GAME DRAFT, Round 1 Discussion

[Micah Robinson]

Have at it!

[Boomstick]

well, there it is... i chose halo, and in doing so, i realize that being number 1 doesn't have as big as an advantage as i thought it would. there are so many games worthy of a number 1... this one just fit my strategy best. good luck, all!

[Boomstick]

i didn't expect starcraft to go as a number 2 pick. sweet... it's one of my ultimate favorite games... good job cesar.

[Micah Robinson]

Indeed. The field is so wide, EVERYBODY should have a classic as their number one draft pick.

[Dan Whitehead]

Well, GTA Vice City is going to be a lot of people's "must have" game by the end of this week once everyone's played it, so I consider this a long-term choice. I have plenty of tactical classics up my sleeve, but I thought I should nab Vice City before it went.

[Micah Robinson]

Dan Whitehead 2: Dan Harder:

[Blunt]

I do wonder though if it's really interesting to pick a game you've never played, basically picking it for prestige alone (not that I think that Vice City is gonna be anything less than fantastic).

[gravedigger]

Excitement mounting! Confidence wavering!

Almost too obvious to mean anything. Vice City kicks a ton of ass, but I've got a lot more personal picks lined up.

[Micah Robinson]

Well, I picked up the new EGM, and their series of full-length reviews, all of which rated it a perfect 10, pretty much had me sold, not to mention I know the game is very similar to Grand Theft Auto 3, which should be going any time now as well.

It has prestige to be sure, but it's TIMELY strategic prestige, as everyone should be well into the game by the time the draft concludes, and will probably give a lot of props to the guy who owns it when it comes to voting time.

[cesar]

Thanks Mikah, for posting for me.

Ah, I made it in time after all but there was not guarantee that I was going to make it ot my hotel room in time.

[Michael Rabattino]

I was one pick away from getting Vice City....damn you Whitehead!! :D

[Dan Whitehead]

I thought it'd be the first to go, to be honest. Halo would've been my second choice.

[Boomstick]

i'm the only human who hasn't played gta3.

[Dennis]

I like Vice City as a pick, but I thought it might last a while longer. I know it is going to be great, but most people have'nt gotten their hands on it yet and as such I'd have a hard time picking it over Halo.

[gravedigger]

Nice pick by Dan. I'm sure it's great, but I won't know until Christmas.

I thought of another question, which I'll post here because I'm lazy. Are collections such as the Namco Museum series eligible?

[Micah Robinson]

NO.

One game. One pick. No compilations.

[Frost]

Nice Verbal, I still kick up Half-Life every once in a while. Great combination of story, atmosphere, and action.

[mongycore]

...up until you got to Xen that is.

[Waco]

Nice pick, Burke. UT was on my short list for today.

Many, many hours spent at the office slaughtering co-workers.

[Micah Robinson]

Waco:
Nice pick, Burke. UT was on my short list for today.

Many, many hours spent at the office slaughtering co-workers.Oh, man...that was one of my faves, too.

There are few joys as great as when you have a sniper rifle, lots of ammo, and a nice perch to murder from on CTF-Facing Worlds.

[Gemini]

Am I the only one who likes the original better than UT 2k3?

[Burke]

You guys are speaking to me!

No one beats me on Face with the sniper rifle, but I prefer the shock rifle combo from long range.

[Micah Robinson]

Gemini:
Am I the only one who likes the original better than UT 2k3?No...it IS better. I like 2K3 a good bit, but it does pale in comparison.

[Micah Robinson]

Burke:

No one beats me on Face with the sniper rifle, but I prefer the shock rifle combo from long range.[Note to self: Next time you, as the commish, accidentally leave Burke out of a draft, make sure it STAYS that way!]

[Gemini]

I think one of 2k3's problems is that it's too damn fast.

[Burke]

[mongycore]

Chasm was the best ctf map I've played...all the goods of facing worlds combined with some close combat craziness via the war torn buildings.

[Burke]

UT2003 is too much like Quake for my tastes... so far.

[Micah Robinson]

UT was pretty fast too, but not quite THAT fast.

After having played Halo (comparatively slow, but way more realistic) for so long, it was a real re-adjustment going to UT2K3.

I don't get much out of the deathmatch in 2K3 (nor did I really in UT), but I think the CTF maps are pretty good and are the game's crowning jewel.

They just need to retweak the weapons a little, too.

But overall, I still think it's a good game.

[Jacob Åström]

So, who's gonna pick Gabriel Knight: Sins Of Fahters, the best point-n-click game ever made?

[Frost]

mongycore:
...up until you got to Xen that is.You know, I had totally forgotten about those levels. After the initial playthrough, I always stop playing at Xen.

[gravedigger]

Micah, I've PM'ed you a question regarding my first round pick.

[Micah Robinson]

I believe I inadvertently just answered it.

[Andrew Sweeney]

mikah912:

I think Deathmatching was great in the early years of multiplayer, but now gamers expect more from an FPS. Look at Halo for example. Sure its okay going solo, but the team angle is much more fun. There's something so right in being able to scream at teammates as well as opponents.

Note: This post would've had a much more compelling argument, had I been able to list the games that I still hold a hope of drafting soon.

[Dan Laugharn]

Bombing Run makes the game, in my opinion.

And everybody, don't forget to include the system with your pick. (I knew Matt picked the Playstation version of MGS, but he may have wanted to PC version and I wouldn't know.)

[Micah Robinson]

ASoze:

Note: This post would've had a much more compelling argument, had I been able to list the games that I still hold a hope of drafting soon.Deathmatching was fine before team communication, CTF and sniper rifles enteres the FPS picture. Once those elements appeared, it was comparatively boring to just run around shooting everyone and everything ina frenzy.

We do occasional deathmatch rounds in Halo to get warmed up, btu I believe everyone in the CHUD ATlanta Halo group pretty much prefers Team Deathmatch.

We tried CTF, but there were too many complaints from CTF newbies about how hard it was to capture the flag, so we went back to Team Deathmatch, which is no problem for me, since Halo has two of the best maps ever for that (Blood Gulch and Sidewinder).

[Nick Nunziata]

I got my number one. I'm happy.

[gravedigger]

HATE.

[Waco]

Blunt and Nick hurt me, but number one is still there....

*crosses fingers*

[Frost]

Nick Nunziata:
X-COM: UFO Defense, for the PC and PSX..You! *shakes fist*! But...! why I oughtta...! AAARRGH...!

[Dennis]

Doesn't the person who's turn it is have the whole half hour to make their pick? It seems that there has early drafting.

[gravedigger]

I didn't notice any early drafting.

[Micah Robinson]

Dennis:
Doesn't the person who's turn it is have the whole half hour to make their pick? It seems that there has early drafting.They do, but once the next person's half-hour arrives, we can zoom along as fast as we like, assuming that everyone continues to draft in sequence.

So Otis and Adam McAllister completely missed their draft periods. They can catch up at ANYTIME from this point onward (and hopefully they'll do it tonight, so we don't have any stragglers going into Day 2.)

In the meantime, we can't afford to wait. I trust you've seen past drafts where the first round drags on for almost a week because people sign up and forgoet their pick is coming and or just go MIA alltogether while the draft stagnates and people get testy.

THAT is why there is a schedule in EVERY single round, and it was posted well-ahead of time. If you couldn't be here to make your pick, you had AMPLE opportunity to email your pick and alternates to me, and I announced just as much last week.

[Matt Goldberg]

Cheers to Gemini for picking Ocarina. I thought it would go in the first few rounds, but not so soon. Well, that's one off my possible picks.

Well, I'll just be sitting here, waiting my turn and bitching about how other stole my picks.

[Dennis]

Please chalk up my early comments about early drafting up to lysdexia.

[gravedigger]

After much deliberation I've finally decided on my first round choice. Let's hope it lasts another two hours.

[otisthecat]

Hey, I got caught up at work and missed my 1:00 slot. I just jump in with my pick anytime now though correct?

[Blunt]

Correct.

[gravedigger]

Conker's...I never have played that game. And now I can't find it anywhere in town. I'm told it's a lot of fun.

[otisthecat]

I was going to hold it for my #2 but after some thought decided that it was good enough for a first round draft just on how original the story is.

[Matt Goldberg]

Conker is easily one of the funniest games I've ever played. The game could have just been one long gimmick of "Look! He's a cute squirrel! But look at all the disgusting shit we put in!" However, the gameplay is good and the game is wickedly clever, especially the movie references.

[otisthecat]

Damn, Donkey Kong Country didn't last long. Was sure that would have still been around for my 2nd or 3rd draft pick.

[gravedigger]

Nice pick by Dennis, although the control scheme still brings white-hot hate from my fingertips.

And for myself, a choice that should have been incredibly easy. It's a game that brought new life to a system and to an old-school icon, not to mention cementing RARE's place in game development. LOVE. And I still haven't found 101%.

[otisthecat]

gravedigger41:
Nice pick by Dennis, although the control scheme still brings white-hot hate from my fingertips.Bad control or not RE for the Cube is one of the best looking console games ever. It gets some extra attention for being the first of the GC exclusive RE games as well.

[Cheese Biscuits]

My Conker's Bad Fur Day is stolen. I shall have vengence.

[Michael Rabattino]

Awesome choice, Waco. Sorry I didn't think of that myself.....

[Michael Rabattino]

Strong choice, Adam....and it's a damn good game.

[Adam McAllister]

Tony 'The Fist' Delpino:
Strong choice, Adam....and it's a damn good game.Thank you sir. I was worried that since I couldnt be by a PC today it might be gone... but I didn't see it being a first round choice for many. A favorite of mine however.

[Richard Dickson]

Well, Waco and Verbal go on my shit-list....

Honestly, I wrestled with whether to go with Half-Life over Baldur's Gate 2 for a couple of days, and in the end decided I had to go with the thrill of watching my band of heroes fight side by side with Drizzt and company against the vampires in the cemetary. And Planescape, while it's a beautiful and deep game, I've never been able to finish.

[Micah Robinson]

Kudos to Bret for taking the initiative and going this early. Hopefully, we can keep day two moving JUST as briskly as day one.

Also...every pick so far has been very inspired. Well done, gents.

[BigRoundSailor]

Yes, inspired choices all. A pox on all of you who stole my choices, but I got my number one. Now if iI can get my number two choice yet Thursday, I'll be doing good.

[Nick Nunziata]

Bret, I am going to kill you, slice a hole in your back, and rape it for a week for taking my beloved Star Control II.

[BigRoundSailor]

Heh, heh, I knew that would be the case and I'm prepared for it. That game was fun on the Genesis, but it was a classic on the 3DO. They are actually remaking SC2 for the PC using the 3DO version as a model, with voices and everything. This needs to go in the most anticpated games thread, and it's free.
<a href="http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/urquanmasters/" target="_blank">http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/urquanmasters/</a>

Trust me, your first pick engenders equivalent amounts of hate from my direction , that was my third pick. So while you're raping my back, I won't even give you a reach-around. wink

[Waco]

We could argue about this for days, I'm sure, but to me, Torment is easily the best CRPG of all time.

In fact, #2 and #3 on my imaginary "best crpg of all time list" are still on the board...

Interesting :)

[Michael Rabattino]

Easily, Waco.

Next to Fallout, that is....and if Fallout is still around when my next pick comes up that's what i'm taking.

But it probably won't be now that i've mentioned it.... wink

[Dennis]

All excellent picks so far, it's apparent there are no amateurs here.

[Gemini]

I was torn between Ocarina of Time and Superman 64, to be honest.

[Alain]

Impressive picks all. Can't wait to see what later rounds have to offer....

[Dan Laugharn]

Can't say that's my favorite King of Iron Fist.

[Boomstick]

everyone is doing good right now... no one has taken my second rounder.... yet....

[Andrew Sweeney]

Dan Dan Revolution:
Can't say that's my favorite King of Iron Fist.I agonized over which one to pick, but in the end Steve Fox had to be included in my vote...

[Micah Robinson]

Cheese Biscuits needs a hot lead salad right about now.

DAMN HIM for taking my beloved fighter.

Damn him to HELL.

As per my proclamation in the FAQ, his pick of Street Fighter 2 effectively disqualifies SUPER Street Fighter 2 (which was to be my 2nd round pick in a perfect world), all of the Championship and Turbo derivatives.

Bastard.

[Dan Laugharn]

I was 42 minutes away from taking SF2: Rainbow Edition. Damn you, CB.

[Sir Pinch-a-Loaf]

Tecmo Super Bowl, nice choice. One of my favorite football games ever. And no one I ever talk to seems to dig on Super Bowl, they've all just played Tecmo Bowl.

Bo Jackson is god. Don't front.

[Blunt]

Kudos to Laugharn for his thematic draft idea and for picking one of Square's finest RPG.

[Dan Laugharn]

I was strongly considering another Square game, but:

A. It didn't fit the theme
and
B. I'd never hear the end of it from you

Yeah, you know the one.

[Blunt]

I think I have an idea, yeah.

[otisthecat]

Surprised FFVIII was the first in the series to go. That game drove me fucking nuts with the button tapping every time I cast one of those long ass summon spells.

[flyarz]

Micah, check your PMs.

[voltes5]

Damn the NN guy for choosing X-COM: UFO DEFENSE!!!!! It's my number one game -- ever! Shit!

Damn the BS guy for choosing Star Control II!!!!! Though I enjoyed another "Star-" titled game a bit more.

Damn the DDR guy for choosing Chrono Trigger!!!!! Ah, but I have yet another SquareSoft game to pick.

Actually, the DAMNs to all of ya!

[Micah Robinson]

punch drunk flyers:
Micah, check your PMs.Done and replied.

[You can't call Guyute a mook]

Sir_Pinch-a-Loaf:
Tecmo Super Bowl, nice choice. One of my favorite football games ever. And no one I ever talk to seems to dig on Super Bowl, they've all just played Tecmo Bowl.

Bo Jackson is god. Don't front.When we were 8, my friend and i stayed up for about two days playing this game. Twas my second choice...but alas...great pick.

[Sir Pinch-a-Loaf]

Mikah, did my PM go thru, or did you just not get it in time? it didn't matter, my number 1 was still available, but I just wanna know if it worked, or if i should send it earlier next time.

[Matt Goldberg]

Again, kudos to Rath and Dan for picking two fantastic Square RPGs. I will have to kill both of you, but excellent picks nonetheless.

Actually, these have all been some great picks. They've all been classic and interesting.

[Micah Robinson]

Sir_Pinch-a-Loaf:
Mikah, did my PM go thru, or did you just not get it in time? it didn't matter, my number 1 was still available, but I just wanna know if it worked, or if i should send it earlier next time.I got it...ONE MINUTE after I left for a long lunch, hence my inaction.

Try to get me before 11:30AM and after 1:00PM on weekdays.

[Burke]

My two and three are still available and I am pumped.

Some great choices here, especially Star Control. I was addicted to that game for a long time.

[Boomstick]

fucking shit, goldberg. i wanted ff7 in round 2. you ruined my life. :rolleyes:

why wasn't this taken sooner???? :cool:

[Blunt]

Yeah I would have thought that due to its immense popularity, FFVII would have been one of the first to go. But it's not the best RPG ever. It's not even the best FF.

[Dan Laugharn]

You mean Final Fantasy Legend II, correct?

[Blunt]

You know me too well.

[Sir Pinch-a-Loaf]

Virgil 'Blunt' Abrizza:
Yeah I would have thought that due to its immense popularity, FFVII would have been one of the first to go. But it's not the best RPG ever. It's not even the best FF.I knew there would be some discussion on this one. It actually was a tough choice for me between FFVII and another game, but between the two, I love FFVII more.

I think the best RPG title is heavily a matter of opinion. RPG is my favorite videogame genre. But I think Final Fantasy dominates as the best RPG series(though there are some that come awfully close).

I think out of all the FF games, FFVII is the best, though I know many love FFVI. But I think FFVI's cast of characters is much too long and you only care about only a few. VII just has more signifigance in the RPG genre. VII, I believe, is best selling PlayStation 1 game (I believe that the stat was that 1 in 3 PlayStation owners had the game). It has the best gameplay, it has the best characters, it has the best minigames, it has the best music, it has the best villain, it has the best story. It excels in almost every category.

It's ONLY weaknesses are Barrett is Mr. T, Chocobo Breeding can be slightly frustrating, and the graphics needed a bit more work (i.e. baseball bat-hands).

[Dan Laugharn]

FFVI had Snowman Jazz, the greatest attack of all-time. Thus, it has the advantage.

[billylove]

Nick Asshead Nunziata stole my pic. But I have a few classics up my sleve. :D

[billylove]

For the record:

Alternate Titles:

"Dune: The Battle for Arrakis" -- Sega Genesis (U.S. & European) title
"Dune II: Battle for Arrakis" -- European (Box, Jewel Case, CD & Main Menu) Title
"Dune 2: Battle For Arrakis" -- European release

Also: I strongly feel that Dune 2000 was just a rehash of the original. Mikah, thats your call. But having played both, they are very similar, the latter, having an upgraded graphics and playing engine.

[Matt Goldberg]

Dan Dan Revolution:
FFVI had Snowman Jazz, the greatest attack of all-time. Thus, it has the advantage.Snowman Jazz is pretty slick, but I also gotta show some love towards Satan Slam and Splattercombo.

[Rath/Brendan]

I've never played FFVIII all the way through...but it's certainly the most romantic and breathtaking game I've ever played.

[Cheese Biscuits]

I so enjoy pissing people off.

[Boomstick]

it wasn't my first video game boner, but when i cast ifrite for the first time in ff7, i obtained video game boner syndrome.

[Dan Laugharn]

RathBandu: Gone Rogue:
I've never played FFVIII all the way through...hahahahahahahaha

*wheeze*

hahahahahahahaha

[BigRoundSailor]

HATE.

The person who took A Link to the Past should be anally violated by a gang of Moblins and then fed to a Dodongo.

The Chrono Trigger pick inpires wrath as well, but since it's a theme, I feel better.

I can't believe my second pick is still available though. :D

[Blunt]

Dan Dan Revolution:
RathBandu: Gone Rogue:
I've never played FFVIII all the way through...hahahahahahahaha

*wheeze*

hahahahahahahahaI echo the feeling.

[Michael Rabattino]

Dan, i've never beaten a FF game except using Gameshark.....and that was FFX!

But to my credit, I got to the end/near the end of FF7-9 legitly.

[Blunt]

Losers.

[BigRoundSailor]

Tony 'The Fist' Delpino:
Dan, i've never beaten a FF game except using Gameshark.....and that was FFX!

But to my credit, I got to the end/near the end of FF7-9 legitly.Whaaa? I would much rather never play the game, like I haven't done with FFVIII, IX, and X, than cheat my way through an RPG. What would possess you to do that? That removes all the fun out of it, and if there was no fun to begin with, why the hell are you playing it?

[Sir Pinch-a-Loaf]

Bret Stewart:
HATE.

The person who took A Link to the Past should be anally violated by a gang of Moblins and then fed to a Dodongo.
Why thank you... :)

[flyarz]

Where are the angry Burger Time fans?

[Matt Goldberg]

Samurai X, I don't know if Final Fantasy Anthology is cool. I mean, of course Mikah has the final word, but you've basically chosen two games at once.

[Blunt]

Yup, compilations are not eligible.

[Richard Dickson]

Confessor, great choice with Shining Force. I wasted many hours with that thing.

[mongycore]

all i can do is gasp at the fact that three of the most well designed pc games of recent memory have yet to be drafted...that's not saying the picks so far have been shite, they're not...I'm just surprised.

it's not too late to join in is it?

[Andrew Sweeney]

Mr. Mike Arsenault,
I would like to inform you that your recent selection in the CHUD Video Game Draft has earned you "God" status and the respect implied therein. My entire young adolescent life was spent on RDS. Kudos, sir. Kudos.

[Samurai X]

I just private messaged mikah about FF Anthology. I know it's 2 games but it does come in one case together. I'm fine with it if it's not ok. I mainly chose it for FF6 anyway. So if it's not ok my choice is Final Fantasy 6.

[Ludwig]

Christ, my Commodore 128 WAS my entire adolecent life, then my Amiga, then my PC...just when the hell was I to grow up again?

[Waco]

The only issue I have with FF Anthology is this - is FF Chronicles acceptable? Because if Anthology is, it should be as well, and it contains a game that has already been selected...

Anyways, Brian - Dune 2. Inspired. My introduction to the RTS, and, really, the mother of the genre as Wolf 3D is to the FPS. Nice pick.

Matt - Sephiroth alone is worth the first round. Well done.

And Rath, well, yeah, the Dance scene is worth the first round as well, bud :)

[NervousXtian, gonzo journalist.]

RDS was the frickin' greatest

damn

memories

i miss my commie

but makin a track was NEVER as much of a bitch and time consuming pain in the ass as in RDS.. but in the end.. it was all worth it

great pick

[Blunt]

Well my second round pick of FFVI is now taken, but I shall strike back with a vengeance bwuahahahahahahahahahah!

Voltes, AWESOME choice.

[Sir Pinch-a-Loaf]

Fuck you, Voltes...round 2 pick is gone. god, that was probably the best adventure game I've ever played. Still play through it every once and a while.

Grace Nakamura, oh so fine...

[Micah Robinson]

NO ANTHOLOGIES OR COMPILATIONS.

The choice is for Final Fantasy 6. Not the compilation with 5 as well.

[Cheese Biscuits]

Samurai X Has Bad Taste:
I just private messaged mikah about FF Anthology. I know it's 2 games but it does come in one case together. I'm fine with it if it's not ok. I mainly chose it for FF6 anyway. So if it's not ok my choice is Final Fantasy 6.I seriously doubt it's okay. Mikah stated that any game that includes more than one game (no matter if it's on a single package) is NOT eligible for drafting, as he has said before. Example: Super Mario All-Stars... not eligible.

Hell, I'd be cautious drafting Donkey Kong 64 or Shemnue... as they contain other, older video games within.

Well... ignore this, as Mikah spoke while I typed it...

[Samurai X]

I just edited my draft pick post so it says FFVI not FF Anthology.

[Blunt]

And here I thought that Cheese was gonna be the first one to draft a MK game. :D

By the way signor Goldberg, Sephiroth ain't the best FF villain. Kefka owns his ass (cue maniacal laughter).

[Cheese Biscuits]

Mortal Kombat II is lightyears ahead of Mortal Kombat 1.

[Matt Goldberg]

Don't get me wrong, signor Virgil, I think Kefka is an incredible villain. I just think Sephiroth is a far more interesting character.

Oh, and Tony Ryan, I will propmtly rip out your balls and feed them to you for taking Super Mario World. You don't get a great pick like that without suffering the consequences.

[Kirby Drummond]

I actually liked 3 the best in the arcade. But you gotta go with the classic.

[voltes5]

Sir_Pinch-a-Loaf:
Fuck you, Voltes...round 2 pick is gone. god, that was probably the best adventure game I've ever played. Still play through it every once and a while.

Grace Nakamura, oh so fine...That would have been yours if pissant Nunziata hadn't chosen X-COM as GK1 was supposed to be my round 2 pick. Oh, but, HAHAHA!

[Cheese Biscuits]

Kirby Drummond, Charolastra:
I actually liked 3 the best in the arcade. But you gotta go with the classic.Yeah, that's why I also picked Street Fighter II over the other spin-offs. I can never remember the difference between all of them (though, I think I remember the Championship Edition being hella-fun). But I chose the original (wait... is there a Street Fighter I? I've never played it or seen it before) because I remember going to the arcades as a wee lad and popping coin after coin into Street Fighter II. And when the SNES came along... I was in heaven. I don't care if the revamps are better... the original is what stole my heart.

[Burke]

Street Fighter 1 was a real fun game. Way ahead of it's time with the it's button layout and controls.

[Andrew Sweeney]

There was a version of Street Fighter I that didn't have the standard LP,MP,HP and LK,MK,HK buttons. Instead, it had two pads (punch and kick) that, depending on how hard you hit the pad, would deliver that attack. Anyone else remember this?

[Boomstick]

are we ready to kick round 2 off?

[gravedigger]

Time Crisis 2!! NOOOOOOOO!!!

I'm surprised only two games from my list have been stolen since my pick. TC2 and A Link to the Past.

[Boomstick]

i've got my round 2 pick? can i go? should i post it in the round one thread or start a new one? do i have the official word yet?

[Nick Nunziata]

Go! Closing this thread.
