Captain Red Posted June 30, 2004 Yes, that’s right, games that actually delivered what they promised. I’ll start: Vice City: (I’ve already gushed about this little gem) Metal Gear Solid: possibly the first interactive movie that didn’t suck. Zelda: a link to the past: Alright, so I dismissed this one a little prematurely. It’s just hard to take Nintendo fan boys seriously. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted June 30, 2004 Diablo 2 + LOD. Warcraft 3. Blizzard owns my soul. 0 Share this post Link to post

Endureth Posted June 30, 2004 Wolfenstein: ET (still played religiously 2-3 times per week) Warcraft III (though just barely) 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted June 30, 2004 Indeed, Warcraft III tends to leech away most of my spare time. Fear my moo of fury! Moooo... 0 Share this post Link to post

darknation Posted June 30, 2004 the first instance of videogame hype that I remember was the ad campaign for Super Mario 3. and yeah, it pwned. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted June 30, 2004 freewebs.com/bashe/bedwetter.wav]I HATE RATCHET AND CLANK! I think the Zelda series really did live up to the hype. Those games were damn fun! 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted June 30, 2004 Even Zelda 2 was enjoyable, despite being considered by many as the least of the Zelda series. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted June 30, 2004 A lot of the games being listed don't fit the question. Tetris lived up to the hype WTF? It only got any hype after it was released because it was so good. Of things that actually FIT the description, I would list things like Super Mario Bros. 3, Sonic 2, Super Mario 64, Doom, and Half-Life. 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted June 30, 2004 speaking of hype, Driver 3 (or Driv3r if you are retarded, and I think most of you are) is being completely raped for being a piece of shit. Those magazines that listed it as being a good game are being accussed of taking bungs, so astoundingly guff is the game. Adios Atari. 0 Share this post Link to post
Psyrus Posted June 30, 2004 Diablo 2 - LOD Starcraft - Brood War Sonic 3/S&K Super Mario Bros. 3 Zelda: OoT Doom 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted June 30, 2004 Super Mario 3 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic 3 & Knuckles (This might've been one of the most hyped games of all time) Super Mario 64 Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time Legend of Zelda : Majora's Mask 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkstalker Posted June 30, 2004 Most of my pick are already listed but I'll had Super Metroid. 0 Share this post Link to post

Melfice Posted July 1, 2004 Everytime I hear something like "live up to the hype" I think of the line from Starfuckers, Inc. that goes "I have arrived and this time you should believe the hype." Sonic Series Super Mario World Mario 64 Sonic Adventure FF series games (except 9 I thinnk it was) MK: Deadly Alliance GTA 3 & Vice City Magic: the Gathering Battlegrounds Devil May Cry Super Smash Bros. Melee Metroid Prime And hopefully Doom 3 when it comes out eventually... 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 1, 2004 I personally wasn't really into Metroid Prime. I do like it somewhat, but for me - come ON, this was a follow-up to Super Metroid (along with Fusion). And out of the two, I would EASILY pick SM over MP. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted July 3, 2004 Civilization 3, if you ignore the fact that they took biological warefare out of the game after 9/11. Also, Fallout and Fallout 2. 0 Share this post Link to post

The game was still amazing in it's own right. 0 Share this post Link to post

After watching the 1 hour 5 minute speedrun videos of MP I think I'm just about ready to start on it. That is some GREAT footage. A must-see for everyone, especially people that have played through it and know what's going on. 0 Share this post Link to post
