God trying to move in 3d space back then was a nightmare. Loved those games though.

Mass Effect doesn’t quite meet your characteristics, but I suspect it’s dead after how terrible Andromeda was. I just don’t understand how they killed off such an amazing franchise. I still replay ME2 every couple of months.

Original ending to 3 and broken promises during gameplay was a precursor to how bad they have gotten, then Andromeda sealed the deal.

Bushido Blade
Colony Wars
Gex
Mutant League
Road Rash
Strike (you know, the EA helicopter games)
Twisted Metal

I would say Legacy of Kain if the story didn't become batshit insane in the latter half of the franchise.

Games like Divinity and Pillars of Eternity have scratched the itch, but I wonder what it would take to get legit Forgotten Realms CRPGs made again. I'd be willing to contribute to a kickstarter.

And I'd ordinarily say HL as well, but I feel like we at least have closure.


Closure my arse. I had to experience Ep3 in text form written in code and it was still a fricking cliff hanger

Any time someone brings up these games I recommend Renegade Ops. Check it out if you haven't played it yet. It's like a modern take on that series and it has split screen couch co-op. I like to play it with my son.
