Elysian Shadows

If you could've been involved in the development of 5 games throughout history, which would they be. This is a serious topic, if you're the kind of person who posts "ig wuldB t3h GTA!!111oneone", don't bother posting a reply. Justify your answers too, because I'm curious.

MegaMan 3:
Do I just have a fettish for this game? This game is so magical, in yet so simple. I think it'd feel great to of taken part in making this game. There wouldn't be all of this newfangled 3D graphics and affects to worry about, just good solid gameplay in a low level programming language.

Donkey Kong Country:
Okay, I do have a fettish for this. I read about how RARE made it. It just sounds like alot of fun. It was a small group of people (mostly friends) that developed a new technology to get more out of the SNES. This game was a platforming revolution and helped the SNES live on awhile longer.

Shenmue II:
This is the most insanely amazing game I've ever played. You can pick up every little object, check in every closet, litterally rotate every gumball machine toy you randomly get on the side of the road in any angle. You can go to 1000s of shops in cities so big that to this day I get lost in every freaking one of them. This game is just purely masterpeice. No, it isn't even a game, it's like real life.

Sonic Adventure 2:
Oh man, the mad grinding, the super cool music, the chao adventures -- I should've helped make this game! There's just so much goodness here. I'd of been happy just making the VMU "Chao Adventure II".

Mega Man Legends II:
This is one of my favorite titles. It's usually overlooked, but the deep gameplay and sheer 3rd person platforming goodness here is overwhelming. I can't think of anything more you could want from this game. I wish I could've been there when Capcom made it.

Final Fantasy 6:
Man. Awesome score, awesome story, awesome characters...the game is just infallibly awesome. Perhaps my favorite RPG of all time.

Chrono Trigger:
Wow, if anything can tie FF6, it's this. The music, the characters, the battle system, the overworld. Just great.

Golden Sun:
By FAR my favorite game for the GBA. Perhaps the best game period for the GBA. Just awesomeness in a cartridge. As you can see, I also have a predeliction towards RPGs

Super Smash Brothers Melee:
Now as much as I dislike the cube for the most part...this is just an amazingly awesome fighting title. You really can't beat its style, grace, smoothness, art, and balanced-ness. It's just a great, fun game.

Finally...Deus Ex:
Perhaps the pinnacle of experimental FPSRPGs, this game won GotY with good reason, becoming perhaps the most accredited shooter of all time. The story, the maps, the models, the graphics in general, the systems, the EVERYTHING about this game was just ace on. You really, IMO, can't beat it. Arguably the BEST game of all time.

It's a close call between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime. But I think Metroid Prime wins (the first one of course). Its just so friggen awsome... I love the exploration and feeling it gives and wish I had the mad skillz to have helped bring it to life.

EDIT: Don't have time to think of five. Sorry.

Mortal Kombat - I simply love this game, One of the first games I ever played.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Another first game for me.

Omikron: the Nomad Soul - Simply, I'd get to work with David Bowie.

Shenmue - A chance to work with Yu Suzuki on a great game.

Can't decide on a fifth one right now.

Spider-Man 2- Incredible game. A must play.

South Park- I don't know why, but shooting cows from a bazooka at rabid turkeys just seems fun.

Any Grand Theft Auto- You can run over, shoot, and beat the crap out of inncoent pedestrians and pick up hookers. Any more questions?

*Too lazy to come up with 5*

1.) Halo - Must I say anything more?

2.) Soldat - Not licensed, but a very good scrolling online shooter, similar to Liero. (found for free at http://soldat.prv.pl/ )

3.) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - possibly my favorite game ever, great gameplay and story

4.) Final Fantasy 9 - a very good game with a great story

5.) I am brain dead.

*sigh* I remain the only one with properly constructed posts.

1. Xenogears - The RPG. Although some people were scared off by the religious references and mountains of dialogue, I was in plot heaven. Just being able to have helped with the story would have been a dream come true for me.

2. Kingdom Hearts - A quirky mix of Disney and Square, this game had awesome music, story, characters, the works. I would have been happy to help with anything on this game.

3. Metal Gear Solid - Definently my favorite action game. Classic gameplay, moving score, intricate storyline, and the coolest hero ever. Hideo Kojima's my role model, and having a job for him would be awesome.


Meh, 5 games is too much.
