[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 5382770, member: 41321"] Once they've realized the first one is popular, they spend time to improve on it with the second. It's the opposite of movies, where often the second one is just hacked out as cheaply as possible to just ride on the popularity of the first. Lots of these that people have mentioned are some of my favs, too, like Half-Life, the Civilization series (though I actually find Civ IV my fav so far), the Warcraft/Starcraft series, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate I and II. For older games, I used to love playing the Quest for Glory games. I think they were the first true cRPGs I ever played. (We had a copy of the original "Hero Quest" before Sierra changed the name and only found out it was selling for tons on eBay after we sold it for a couple bucks at a garage sale.) Wing Commander will always hold a special place in my heart because it was the first game I ever played by myself (as opposed to watching my father play games). And I can't forget Wolfenstein 3D and the original Doom. My sister and I used to watch my father play those when I was a kid, and my mom used to poke her head in the room and laugh because all three of us were leaning to the side, trying to see around a corner. Back to more modern games, I logged hours and hours on Oblivion and Morrowind (though sadly I have actually not finished the main plot in either). I think I played Prince of Persia: Sands of Time three or four times. That was the only game I've ever played twice back-to-back (I loved it so much that when I finished it I couldn't accept it was done so I played it again, even though it's completely linear and has almost no replay value). And right now I can't stop playing Dragon Age: Origins. (Bioware really knows how to do a single-player cRPG.) [/QUOTE]
