Title: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: charlie on January 13, 2011, 04:37:15 PM
The Goal: Pick the best assortment of Video Games to have with you on a deserted island for the rest of your life.

How this works
We go in turns one at a time picking video games to be on our list. You can't take a game that has already been selected. When we're done we compare lists and everybody votes on which they like best. The fun is in seeing what interests the other pickers, and trying to pick people you want on your list before somebody else takes them.

We're picking anything that resembles a video game, including computer games, handheld games, flash games, etc. You can assume that you have any hardware you need on your island to play the games of your choosing, and that you can connect to the internet to play multiplayer against other people as well. The official rules (http://www.entropysink.com/forums/index.php?topic=10221.msg111232#msg111232) can be found below, please pay special attention to the section on how to tell whether the game you like can no longer be selected because of a previous related selection (e.g. are Smurf Rescue and Smurf Rescue 2 the same?).

  Draft Order

Draft results by round (http://www.entropysink.com/forums/index.php?topic=10221.msg111233#msg111233)
Draft results by person (http://www.entropysink.com/forums/index.php?topic=10221.msg111234#msg111234)

I encourage anybody with even a little bit of interest to participate. The more people there are, the more fun it is. If you're worried about any of the details I'll help you through it. Just give it a go!

Who's in?

What makes two video games the same?

If the video game you want is "the same" as a video game already taken, it is ineligible. These rules govern what makes two video games the same or different.

how many do i have to pick

It's a snake draft and it's set for 12 rounds, although that can be changed if people think it's too many or too few.

It's a draft, though, so you don't just get to pick what you want if somebody else has taken it already.

P.S. :woot:

yah, I'm in. But I'll be slow with my responses :(
No worries at all. Just post them when you can.

Ober games?  How current do these need to be?  ;)

:D Not to tip my hand, but 90% of the games I'm considering picking were from before this millennium.

Oh and yell at me when it is my turn.  I suck at keeping that stuff straight. 
:woot: No worries, I can send you a PM when I see it's your turn to hopefully make it clearer.

Same goes for anybody else who would like that service. Since we're getting a nice turnout, it might get a wee bit confusing. If you're not sure just ask.

And of course, we have some newbies who haven't done this before, so if you have questions on the structure just ask.

Coolio, we have interest. Today is Friday and I won't be online much this weekend, so we'll probably start Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

If anybody has input on how to distinguish between similar games I'd love to hear it. Should Madded NFL 08 and Madden NFL 09 be separate games? What about Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War?

Also, ober, I think we can decrease this to 8 or 10 rounds, especially since we have at least 9 participants. Anybody else have a preference?
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: Govtcheez on January 14, 2011, 01:49:26 PM
Brood War is an expansion for Starcraft, so I don't think that should count.  Madden 08 and 09 are basically the same game, but I wouldn't consider Madden 97 and 11 the same game.

That's what I was thinking, too. Can you think of a hard and fast rule that's easy to describe to distinguish between the Maddens?
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: Govtcheez on January 14, 2011, 02:02:57 PM
Maybe more than 4 years apart unless there's a definite leap between a couple?
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: charlie on January 14, 2011, 02:07:11 PM
Yeah, I guess something like that's not a bad idea. I wish I knew more about the games so I could judge better what a "leap" is, but we can figure it out.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: Govtcheez on January 14, 2011, 02:15:59 PM
Generally it's only when they make the move from one generation of a console to the next.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: charlie on January 14, 2011, 02:18:06 PM
That would be a good way to break things up.


P.S. Anybody else click on the "new post" button and have it direct you to the rules or placeholder posts at the top whenever I edit the one above? That's annoying, the board wasn't doing that before.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: ober on January 14, 2011, 02:27:07 PM
I would push for 8 rounds personally.

As far as rules between versions, I think it's going to vary by genre.  Games that are 'yearly' probably should follow the '4 year' rule, roughly.  But other games like Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 2 are COMPLETELY different, as are most of the COD games.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: Govtcheez on January 14, 2011, 02:32:35 PM
That seems accurate to me
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: charlie on January 14, 2011, 02:40:51 PM
Yeah, sequels are definitely different. I'm think for yearly releases, a switch to new generation of console will be considered a separate game. Also, if people can demonstrate that a specific major change was made between releases on the same console, then that would count, too.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: ober on January 14, 2011, 02:43:05 PM
Well, you have to consider that generations of platforms may not always be a deciding factor.  I only play Madden on the PC but I could argue levels of changes between specific versions.

I guess what I'm saying is that we should cross that road when we get there.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: Govtcheez on January 14, 2011, 02:56:53 PM
Do they even make Madden for PC anymore?  I thought they stopped doing that when they stopped releasing the last-gen version

Hmm... that's a good point.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft
Post by: PJYelton on January 14, 2011, 06:28:52 PM
I wouldn't worry too much about it since as far as I can tell only sports games are problematic.  Basically I would say expansion pack is the same game, sequels are different games, and sports games you go with franchises so you can simply say Madden football.

Yup. Any platform is fine. Note that if a game is released on several platforms and somebody takes it on one, then you cannot take it on another. Tetris for Gameboy and Tetris for NES are "the same" for this draft.

wait. do online mp games count? how can there
be intenret on a desert island?

Online multiplayer games count. Deserted just means there are no people there, not that it's all sand. You have your favorite computer setup and super fast internet (unless you don't want super fast internet because it will make it harder to play with other people).

In fact, don't get hung up on the deserted island thing. That's just a gimmick. If you like a game because it's fun to invite a couple of friends over to play with, then draft that game.

By the way, if anybody wants to chime in on 8 or 10 rounds, feel free. If we get more people I'll make it 8, but as of now we have 10 players so let me know if you'd like 8 or 10 rounds. I don't want to go down to 6 and 12 is too many, and it should be even to be fair.

Yeah, I was worried about that.  Oh well, I'll just keep playing with 08 then.  I just wish there was a hack to get rid of the salary cap in the PC version.  I'm going to lose Roethlisberger if I don't do something else drastic to my team.  :(

The Wii versions of any of the sport games are going more in the direction of easy-family play.  You need a 360 or PS3, the Wii game selection has really dropped as of late, it seems like they are averaging only one or two decent titles a year.

Absolutely. You're encouraged to talk briefly about why you picked the game when you make the pick, although it's not required. And of course half the fun is debating/discussing the picks as we go.

Test of Time, I believe, is a standalone expansion.  I'd assume he means regular Civ II

Or actually both I guess, since you get all expansion packs when you pick the original game, but I'll link to the Sid Meier page since I guess that's the original.

Seriously?  Shows your age I suppose.  This is where Supreme Commander came from.  Which I didn't like nearly as much.  It was a huge hit when it came out.  Starcrafts only competitor at the time.

Wiki...

" The game was highly praised by critics and players, and won numerous awards, including GameSpot's Game of the Year Award for 1997.[7] TA is still played actively today, over 10 years after its release.[8][9][10] It won Gamespy's Top Ten Real-Time Strategy Games of All Time [11] in 2004, leaving StarCraft in second place. It was also recently named to Gamespot's 50-game The Greatest Games of All Time list. "

Speaking of StarCraft... my very first selection is:

StarCraft
(http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/small/960867055-00.jpg) (http://www.mobygames.com/game/starcraft)

Kind of a no-brainer for me, I'm just glad it lasted this long. StarCraft was the last game I actually played a lot and invested a lot of time in. Fun, difficult, interesting, replayable, there were lots of reasons I'd choose it number 1.

Starcraft would've been my first choice. I probably love it so much because it's one of the first games that I played online more than casually

My first pick is: Doom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_(video_game))

I remember being scared just watching my dad play it when I was little.

I had that written down! Then I changed it.


I was sure you'd pick it! That game was revolutionary. And there are some side quests you can go back and do after beating it, or you can just play the whole thing again.


Star Craft, Super Mario 3, Tetris, and Doom were all on my list too.

Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft ROUNDS
Post by: ober on January 21, 2011, 12:23:57 PM
Ok, so something tells me that my gaming choices aren't going to fall in line with most based on things I've seen posted here, but here goes anyways:

Half-life 1 - this was my first FPS and I spent WAY too many hours my freshman year of college fragging the shit out of people in the dorms.  To the point where I'm pretty sure it affected my grades.

Since I think I'm supposed to pick again, here's my next:

Battlefield 2 - my favorite FPS by far.  I can't even tell you how many hours I've logged in that game.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft ROUNDS
Post by: Govtcheez on January 21, 2011, 12:35:54 PM
Half Life would probably be high up on most people's lists.  BF2, not so much.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft ROUNDS
Post by: ober on January 21, 2011, 12:38:38 PM
The only thing I can see standing in the way of BF2 is early bug issues.  But when a game is that complex there are bound to be problems.  I think for what it was, it is still, IMHO, one of the best FPS games of it's kind ever made.  Best vehicles, best team work, best combat.  Not the best weapons and I could have imagined better maps but really... it has it all, IMO.
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft ROUNDS
Post by: Govtcheez on January 21, 2011, 12:43:46 PM
BF2 also isn't nearly as widely played/known as a lot of the other games
Title: Re: Deserted Island Video Game Draft ROUNDS
Post by: KnuckleBuckett on January 21, 2011, 12:51:41 PM
BF2 is the second best game I have ever played.  Had EA supported the game through XP SP3 and Vista properly I would still be playing it.  Unfortunately, they let support slide.  Balance issues were not mitigated, cheating was rampant, and douchebag control was rare on most servers.  I finally had to very very reluctantly leave.  Nothing in the FPS genre has approached BF2 pre or post.  This includes 2142, Bad Company 1/2, and the pile of CODs.

Great choice Obes!  I was going there next.  I couldn't even guess the number of hours that we spent on the same squad in that game.

Our stats are still up on BF2S.  I seem to have been exceptionally effective with claymores.

Have you played BC2? I can't imagine how prone
would be a good thing.

A crouch-toggle would be nice so I didn't have to
hold it down all the time.

Yes, I have.  Creating a silhouette as a sniper is ... silly.

BF2 is a good one.

Am I allowed to pick Super Mario Bros (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros.)? It's quite different from SMB 3 I think.

I'll go with:

Ok, my next pick is:

GoldenEye 007

(http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/small/986859313-00.jpg) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoldenEye_007)

Probably not the best game of this type, but I haven't played a lot of games, so this is my favorite. Plus I already said that the "deserted island" theme isn't too be taken too literally, and this game was lots of fun to just go head to head against one, two or three other players, especially with a big TV. I'm sure there might be better multiplayer choices for that, now, too, but I played hours and hours of GoldenEye with college buddies and with my brothers and sisters so it gets my #2 pick.

> It was as big as they get as a FPS.

what

BF2: 2.25M copies sold (as of June 2006, can't find more recent numbers)
Half-life: 9.3M copies sold as of 2008
HL2: 6.5M copies sold as of 2008
BF BC2: 6M copies (and that's for a game that's less than a year old!)
COD MW2: over 20M copies.  It sold twice as many copies as BF2 in the first day it was released!

I could keep going, but your statement isn't even close to true
I didn't start playing BF2 until June 2006 or something like that and the game was still on the upswing at that point.  I couldn't find any more recent numbers either but I bet it's similar to some of those other games.

I'd be shocked if that was the case.  It'd have to compete with its own sequels, the CoDs, the L4Ds, TF2, etc etc.  It'd be pretty amazing to keep the same sales rate up when there are bigger names out there.

So, Super Mario Kart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Kart)?

Can somebody with more knowledge tell me if the other Mario Kart games should be considered the same, or if we should be able to pick the others? There don't seem to be extensive changes between the version, but I'm guessing they all have different worlds/tracks which is probably enough to make them distinct.

A JRPG actually stands for a Japanese RPG.  FF7 is an excellent example of it.  Linear gameplay, lots of cutscenes, and what I've always thought was really stupid dialogue and combat.  You either love them or you hate them.

Alright... let's see.  Another one I wasted a lot of time on would be in the Need For Speed Series.  They're probably mostly equivalent but I'll go with:

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit

For the next pick, I have to say one of the games that I spent most of my time on as far as a console would have to be:

Halo (Original)

Very true.  The PC version sucked balls.

And probably the only reason I really got into it is because I got together semi-frequently with my brother and cousins and friends and we networked 2 or 3 XBoxes together and battled all night.  I'd have to say it's possibly my favorite console FPS.  The singleplayer wasn't bad either.

My turn. woot! I've been waiting for this one!!

(http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/1241429599-00.jpg)

that's right baby! Probably the first game that
actually ever scared me. oh man, I remember
saving my game right before an invasion I couldn't
beat. Pissed me off so much.

The memories of this game are 100x better than
replaying it, though. I really wish it would get
remade (with everything exactly the same. Even
2d, just with higher resolution graphics!) Actually,
even that's not necessary. Just make a portable
version of it so it doesn't look so horrid. DS or
iPhone or something.

My cousins and I would all play a game together.
We'd make soldiers after ourselves. Michael kept
making us start the encounter over every time
an alien killed his guy.

Researching new technologies, building new bases,
etc. Bases you can actually explore! Sometimes
the aliens would invade your base! Badass.

never heard of it.

One of the biggest strategy games of the 90s

edit: WRT our earlier conversation, "biggest" probably isn't the best adjective.  It was very popular, but wasn't in the realm of Starcraft or the C&C games.  It was extremely well reviewed and still has a cult following today.

Ok, so I lost interest in this game after the version I'm choosing because I think they fundamentally changed the game.  I enjoyed the second and third versions but the best, IMHO:

Unreal Tournament - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_Tournament

My next choice is coming out of my most recent gaming and this game is incredible.  Amazing graphics, very realistic game play and the controls are fantastic.

Both on my list and I would have picked them eventually if this was a 12-16 round draft. Hell, I would have picked WarCraft II first if StarCraft had already been taken.

Speaking of which... I've got more games I really want to take than rounds left, in case anybody wants to consider pushing this out to a few extra rounds.

this was a toss up between Baldur's Gate the original and never winter nights. I logged "many" hours on all these titles in the late 90's and early 00's but I remember liking BGII the most. Come to think of it, I still might have this game somewhere and just might install it. might.

You guys realize that I have the next pick and peggle is on my list, right? So all your discussion is moot!!!

I got through like 95% of the game and was down to about 6 challenges when we lost my wife's iPod. She now has an iPhone but we haven't re-bought the game yet.


But I'm not actually going to pick it. It's like #10 on the list of games still left on my list. If this were 12 rounds I might have picked it, but with 8 round there just isn't room for sleepers like that.

I'd be interested to see how differently Peggle plays on PC vs another platform.  It's not exactly the same thing but the version of Brickbreaker that has come with every blackberry I've had plays very differently based on the size of the screen and other factors.

Then again, I think I want one puzzle type game on my island, and Tetris was already taken, so:

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
(http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/small/979957577-00.jpg) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Puzzle_Fighter_II_Turbo)

More fun and faster paced than Angry Birds or Peggle, and if I'm alone on an island I don't want slow games. Those are best used when I have kids grabbing my attention every 30 seconds or five minutes on the toilet.

Nothing great, it's a puzzle game like tetris or bejeweled or others like that. The street fighter tie-in was amusing, but not that big of a deal. Still... thinking about it makes me want to break out my old playstation and challenge my wife. Hadouken!

This probably won't be a terribly popular pick, but I have to go with it since out of the series it was my favorite (especially since the original was never on XBL) and I spent more time on it than probably any other Xbox/360 game: Halo 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_2)

It's probably too late, but you might be the only one here trying to pick games that others would vote for. I think most of us are picking games that we would most like to have. The voting part is kinda secondary.

For my last game I needed a sports game, and there is only one I've consistently enjoyed over many years. Madden 11 was already taken, and I don't know how we're separating the Madden series, but since there are only a few more picks left I figured it was safe to go with 2002 as a "separate game" based on what we talked about earlier. So:

Madden NFL 2002

My final pick: Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (http://www.gamespot.com/nes/action/chiptodalenodaisakusen/index.html)

So many fond memories. It had two-player simultaneous coop that played a lot like the new super mario bros, and an awesome soundtrack to boot. Would've been one of my top 3 picks but I knew no one else would pick it.

We have a tournament, I do a random draw and order the lists from 1-10, then we match up lists two at a time and vote on whose list we like better. Since we have 10 teams, list #7 would battle list #10 and list #8 would battle list #9. Then in the next round, list #1 battles the winner of 7 vs 10, list #2 battles the 8 vs 9 winner, list #3 and 6 go against each other, and #4 and #5 go against each other. The winners of those face off in the semifinals, and then the winners there battle for the championship.

You can look at the other voting threads in this forum for examples.

by far the game I spent the most time playing was wolfenstein enemy territory. It is a first person shooter, but not a realistic one like COD. I played it A LOT. Even now every couple months I loaded it up and play for a few hours.

When I was younger I also really liked Interstate 76 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_%2776 it was awesome :D

Baldur's Night and neverwinter nights also consumed a lot of time.

There was a game called arcanum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamworks_and_Magick_Obscura that I really liked because I got into the story. But it was relatively easy and short and no expansions :( anyone else play it?

I used to play RTCW multiplayer a lot. Never did get around
to trying Enemy Territory, though.

I played Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, though. Didn't like it
too much, but I didn't give it too much time.

I treat RTCW multiplayer the same as ET - I played lots of both...but ET had a huuuuuuge community. That is the only time I did the whole clan thing. Still talk to some of those guys every couple of months...one even helped me move in when I lived in Colorado.

I preordered ET: Quake wars but never got it. I played the beta version a few times but did not get into it.

But you're not buying it for the plastic, you're buying it for the information on the disc.  CDs are easily damaged and morally I should be able to backup the media I've paid for.

Sorry bro, you're really not going to make me feel bad for downloading a game I actually paid for just because it is not offered on Steam

I was surprised and pleased that years later I still stand by my choices. But then I realized it's because I don't play games any more so of course nothing will change.

When I read the title I didn't see the draft part and was wondering if we were talking about Stranded Deep which is literally a deserted island video game.
