Yeah what the heck. I'm shocked really. Half-life 2 would be my #2 after Halo. And so many others profess to love it.

Yeah, console really deserved to sell much more. Your list alone is great and with games like Crimson Skies, Panzer Dragoon, Oddworld:Strangers Wrath, Riddick, Forza, RalliSport Challenge 2, PGR 2 and others it had some fantastic console exclusives.
Really good console for racing fans with Forza, PGR and Rallisport Challenge as exclusives.

Oh duh, I missed Crimson Skies! So much fun. We need more games like that. With Crimson Skies and Rogue Squadron mothballed, the industry is really lacking in arcade flight games.
I really need to play RalliSport 1/2. I own both but have never made the time.

It's like being a mouse that has a mouse sized gun that's going through a maze while fighting creatures that are trying to eat it or kill it. Same thing but with a different title. |
Out of curiosity and unrelated to the thread, have you ever tried the Metro games?

Having a mechanic that makes spot-on shots miss is straight-up bad game design in my book. Imagine if a shooter did that; you line up a target perfectly, and the game rolls a fucking dice to see if you get to hit. That's crappy. |
Ok, think of it like this. Even though you have a general idea of where a baseball will go when it's pitched, the general person or amateur won't be able to hit it with a baseball bat. Another way to put it is no person is skilled when they first start using a melee weapon, you're more likely to miss your target than to hit in combat even when it's a person you're aiming. If you are unskilled with a weapon in that game, you will miss more often than not. Anyway, it doesn't really matter because if they did a remaster or remake of morrowind, they'll change the combat to something closer to skyrim but hopefully they wouldn't dumb down the game.

I've played more of the older metroids than the new ones. My friend got me to try one of the new ones where it's like a first person shooter.
Shenmue 2.
The reason why I bought the console in the first place. Barely played any other games on it, since the PS2 and the Gamecube had much more varied and better first and third party support for my tastes.

Opps. I skim read that. I swore it was metroid. haha.
Metro Last Light? I played that. It was fun. I liked that I could use a stealth approach the whole time.
