Best Game Of All Time!!!

tommyshowtime

I have been playing Neverwinter since the day it came out non stop on PS4! I do have to say it is the best game of all time. Final Fantasy 7 was my favorite until this came out! All of the people who complain and moan about the "LAG & ISSUES"!!! Need to stop complaining the game is free to play yes you can spend real money if you wish to have some things if you want but to play is free! So stop complaining it is rude and wrong to the makers of the game who let us play! So enjoy your experiences and game time! Remember this is an amazing game and it is "FREE"!!!

The game is good but not the best.

Best game of all time IMO is the Baldur Gate and Baldur Gate: Shadow of Amn. Those games really nailed the D&D experience IMO. The developer, BIOWARE, did a fantastic job with those games with Easter Eggs, engagement with party members, party banter, etc... I loved those games and BIOWARE continues to deliver great games for the most part. I play all of there titles on release and beat all of them 3-4 times if not more.

My 2nd favorite series is also a BIOWARE product, Dragon Age. I loved Origins and enjoyed Inquisition. I don't hate DA:2 like others, I just think they tried something new and it simply did not work for them.

My 3rd favorite series is Mass Effect. First game was a true space RPG, second moved towards a mixture of RPG and FPS and the final was more towards FPS with some RPG elements. All 3 games were enjoyable due to the stories BIOWARE develops.

As for MMOs, most lack stories or depth due to the nature of MMOs. This game has some back stories and characters thanks to the books and other games that D&D has had over the years. I'm glad they have it and the solo content is enjoyable. Better than other MMOs from my experience. However, it is still a MMO and within a few days (3-4) you are at end game.

The fantasy RPGs mentioned above are far more engaging and longer than this game is. I really wish we had more content like the leveling missions, and EE. I liked how those flowed and the allowed us to engage in the game world.

Maybe the next update we will get more story driven content, we can only hope, right.

Did you every play Dragon Age Multiplayer?

I couldn't agree with you more about the BG series - I can't even begin to count how many times I played those games. Followed always by IWD and IWD2. I even owned Planescape Torment but my computer died and ate it before I finished it.

Dragon Age Origins is how you make a game. Everything was right, it felt epic, you started at a true beginning, and the choices you made changed the world around you. The companions were fantastic (even the ones I hated) and the end was satisfying even if you made certain choices. I enjoyed DA2 and DAI but both lacked a feel that the first one had. I also spend a ridiculous amount of time in DAI Multiplayer.

I will be honest - this is the first MMO that I have actually enjoyed playing so this one does win "Raven's favorite MMO" title. I would have liked for my choices as a character in this game to have affected my standing in the world a little more. I get almost the same dialogue no matter what my race, or background. I have people complaining to me about killing all the evil Drow when I'm standing there in front of them in all of my Drow glory. My Tiefling is being talked to about the horrors of demons when I'm standing there with horns growing out of my head. Ah well, perfection is something to aspire for - not achieve.

I played this on PC back in 2013 and was starting out in DCUO at the same time. I eventually went all in on DCUO for almost 2 year. Took a break and played ESO until V2 rank and quit as I really hated ESO end game. I kept my DCUO membership active even though I disliked the direction mainly due to friends I played the game with for so long. I saw that this was coming and planned my DCUO membership so it would cancel in June, which I did not remove in time. So I played DCUO in June and July until this landed. Than when I needed a break from NW or when the game was down I would jump into DCUO for a bit until recently.

I am now only playing NW. A few things here and there could make it better but over all a solid game.

I did try Star Trek and did not like the fighting in space part of the game, felt lame IMO.

Like I tell people if I like something I will have no problem dropping money down on it. So far around 500-600 down on this game. I like it that much and my wife gives me faces all the time when she see the CC bill. She is like, it is a game. You don't need to spend a dime more on it, jeez. I'm like ok, so our spending on exercise equipment but you not using them and paying for a gym membership is working out well right. I mean hundreds into equipment that sits and collects dust because you rather go to the gym did wonders as well. And she continues looking at equipment and has big plans for her next purchase. Agh...

Me exercise is P90X. 1 hour or so and I'm done. Total cost with weights and video around $300. One time and that was it. Hers is 4 years now of membership along with her annual purchase of 1 or 2 pieces of equipment that she never uses.

Like I tell people, if you enjoy something who cares how much you put into it, as long as you think you are getting your money's worth.

I mean a 2 hour movie at the movie theater with popcorn and drinks now is around $30+ for one movie. I rather buy a 20 pack of keys and a new companion in NW for that price.

It is one of the best IMO. The depth of things you can do and the dragon fights are very cool. I like the dungeons and love the heroics. The only thing that sucks, (which you cannot control) is the dbag players who are in every MMO basically. Don't be one of those. Learn the game, then teach the game to other people.

ravenskya

I have no issue spending money on a game - other people spend their play time money on drinks or bars or going out. My man is disabled and has PTSD so we don't go many places - instead we spend our money on games that we can play either together or separately at the same time. His attention span is shorter than mine so his cut tends to go toward getting new games, while I funnel money into games I keep playing for long periods of time. I'm actually quite impressed that he is still playing this game after it has been out for 2 months - I think that's a record.

My favorite game of all time is Eqoa on ps2. I played it for about 5 years straight. Amazing combat, addicting grind. Tons of huge dragons.

I am getting those same feeling from neverwinter really liking it and plan on enjoying it for years to come!

I liked Dungeons and Dragons Online a lot more. I just wished they'd update the graphics, or just release DDO2 with a new engine. It's closer to the PnP game. That's not to say Neverwinter sucks though, cause I do enjoy playing it.

Isn't DDO using 3ed and not 5th. If so, that is a full revamp.

Neverwinter is definitely one of my favorite games of all time, and I've been around the block and back again.

Been playing video games since the 70's, and quite long in the tooth with MMO's as well -- dating back to Ultima Online (Pre-Trammel), Asheron's Call, Shadowbane, Dark Age of Camelot, Everquest, Age of Conan, Warhammer, and on and on.

This one takes the cake for me, since I enjoy the lore, quests, environments, NPC's, the PvP, and dungeon crawling. There's an awful lot of positives about this game, and it tickles my inner fancy - along with childhood recollections. There's still a lot of things to fix, mostly technical problems, but I will be this game for the long haul.

waylander

I agree as I have no complaints. Just sucks when I leave home for extended periods of time on projects I can't play!!!

It's certainly the best F2P game I've ever come across (and for me it really is ftp, I haven't spent anything in a year and a half ) I played the Baldur's Gate series and for me they really had it nailed but if you have to look back 15-20 years for a comparison then Cryptic are getting something right.

It's easy to come up with a list of issues but but that ignores the fact that even with them the game is very good. It's entirely possible for Cryptic to take the game from VG to Legendary status - they could make it the game everyone still talks about 20 years from now.

The background, detail, balance, original artwork and sheer scale of thought that went into the first few mods is something they need to revisit (most content since then is borrowed from old stuff with a new bit of story wrapped around it). I'd love to see these guys bring out not just another mod/update, but a rework that encompasses everything from the ground up. A NW2 if you like.

NO! NW2 already exist, check for yourself.

I would like to see them create NEW content of their own. Most of what is here is from the lore and I like that. But I would like some unique things they create on their own, not using Forgotten Realm lore.

I'd like to let you play my top 5 Favorites: Zelda 2 Adventures of Link, The Witcher 3, Morrowind, Xenoblade, & Metroid Prime Trilogy Wii edition....just to see how they stack up.

There's a ton of good games out there old & new. Think my next new pick up will be the next Deus Ex if my family is listening to my preemptive Christmas list. It's a great time to be a gamer, imo

This game is great fun too...I can get enough of it & enjoy the rewards of play....though sometimes I wonder why it's necessary. Sometimes I feel guilty for playing & enjoying it as its cost me very little (bought a vip & heirloom weapon pack) but then again, don't look a gift horse (or polar bear mount) in the mouth. I guess it personal & based off of perspective, what I'm saying is I'm a fan of this game too

A bit of research and I see you're talking about NWN2 which is by a different company - that misses the point a bit, I was referring to a new release by Cryptic rather - whatever they would decide to call it.

I believe Cryptic are somewhat restricted by WOTC in what they can come up with as the game is licensed by them & they do work fairly closely.

I want to go to Waterdeep! and back to Baldur's Gate.

zarchaun41

Game is fun, but gets pretty repetitive at times. Plus there is just to much currencies to keep track of.

Faerun areas I would like to visit in this game. Each could offer quite a bit more for us.

North West: Waterdeep and Sword Coast
North: Dalelands
North East: Great Dales and Horedlands
Central: Shining Isles
East: Thay (we already go there but I want to see more of it)


Each area can result in multitude of DLCs. I mean Amn along could be 4 if not DLC worth of content.

ravenskya

Nice, I forgot about the Dalelands.

A friend of mine was talking last night about how he wished there were free roam forested areas - wild elven lands to wander around.
A second friend piped in that he wanted to go to Thay for more than one castle/dungeon.

Was the Citadel of Ten Thousand Pearls in Faerun? If so I would LOVE to see that place.

nightbare

where are the epic myth drannor dungeons, anytime in D&D if you go to myth drannor, you are lucky to get out alive, so much epic loot there if you live..... or maybe a ravenloft halloween event with Lord Strahd killing our heroes.... this game is very good, and has sooooo much story to advance on

ravenskya

ACK a portal to Ravenloft for a Halloween event would be AMAZING

I refuse to play MMOs on PC so all these heavy hitters are missing out on my money. Neverwinter is definitely an amazing game.

Are you talking Sharandar? That is pretty close to what your friend mentioned.

This game for its age is much bigger open world wise than some other MMO games I played and those games were older.

We should be happy for a few reasons.

1) Game is on console extending its shelf life
2) Game has million of players - almost as much as WOW (would love to play with both PC and XBox players on one server)
3) Money should not be an issue given exchange of Zen to AD and players buying Zen to purchase cosmetic things like mounts
4) Pack - hopefully they release more of them - I like stuff I can use on more than one character
5) Lore - They have plenty of Forgotten Realm lore to use and the land size is pretty good - hopefully they use it

To me, this game will be around for quite some time. Hoping they continue to give us some good content, cool items and expanding the game with new classes, races, and areas.

So far, I wouldn't say I got my money's worth yet, because I invested quite a bit, but I would say that I am enjoying the quite a bit.

I've played this on pc and it's much better on console. Not sure why, I think it just feels like this game was made for console. My fav game of all time "Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption"

Started with EQ which had the difficulty aspect that is sorely lacking in MMOs today. Moved to Dark Ages of Camelot which had a great PvP system. Best MMO ever was the pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies. Player housing, check. Unique weapons, check, unknown Jedi system, check.
