Title: Most fast-paced game you've ever played?
Post by: Unknown Target on April 07, 2007, 10:37:28 pm
What's the fastest game you've ever played? As in, what required the most from your reflexes, hand eye coordination, etc?

I'd say for me it's the Unreal Tournament series and BtRL.

Original Doom multi, with mouse support.

Also skeet shooting.

Tremulous (http://tremulous.net)?  I haven't played too much, except for Descent series, FS series, some racing games, and some RPGs (or whatever you call Age of Empires - like games).

Unreal Tournament (the original game, not the newer ones) and Ballistics (a racing title). I tend to prefer these types of games over slower ones and am typically much better at them.

Descent 3, most likely.  I could throw the Guitar Hero games in there too, if rhythm games count.

Rainbow Six multiplayer.

Especially before you get any good at it.

If you can finish first in the last circuits, you cannot possibly be human.  :shaking:

Tachyon: The Fringe, UT series, BTRL, Mechwarrior 4/Mercs (use an Osiris!), oh, and B5: IFH, JK2: O, and IL:2.

The more insanity/complexity, the better.  Tachyon is still the only game I've snapped a joystick in half while playing, though.

It's that quick.

there was this console game for the sega saturn called tunnel b1, it was sort of a hovercraft combat sim, you had to drive along a racetrack style course and kill certain objectives in a rather small amount of time. it always gave me a major adreniline rush to play it and the graphics werent half bad either. im not sure if there ever was a pc version but there was a playstation version.

probibly number 2 would be tetris. seriously. get to level 12 or so and it gets pretty good.

...Don't most versions of tetris have a "level up" button?

Toss-up between Halo multiplayer and F-Zero GX. On the upper difficulties GX is near impossible... :shaking:

Yeah, just last week I finally unlocked the AX tracks in F-Zero GX. Took me a couple years..

i think i played the dos version, which had a levelselect so you could pick where you wanted to start. i usually started at like 8 to warm up, i would get to around level 13 and loose. after that i just srarted playing at 10 or 11, and i could get to around 15 on average. its really all about putting yourself into a tetris trance. once you reach that point clearing a couple thousand lines is an easy task. there was a button to advance a level but i usually never used it.

Star Wars Ep 1, Pod Racer. Going 300-400mph and crashing into canyons walls!!! Yowzers. Especially that the first level on Tatooine, where a canyon narrows suddenly to about a foot wider than your racer is tall, and therefore you quickly have to turn your racer on it's side or splat! Whew!

This racing game called 'Ballistics' from a few years back. The entire game was effectively built around going as fast as you could along a tube, and it accomplishes this rather well. Seriously, it makes Episode 1 Pod Racer look like a group of grannies out for a sunday drive.

If you like fast games I recommend you check it out, the demo should be floating around the Intertubes somewhere.

I mentioned that one earlier. I don't think I ever beat the campaign mode; I got stuck on the final level. Although I did manage to break 3000mph several times in one of the other levels.

Fast reflexes - Between Tetris, Radiant Silvergun (I must get Ikaruga at some point!), and trying to play Thunderhorse and Miserlou in Guitar Hero 2 (HOW??!?!?! I swear it's not physically possible to pick that fast unless you are like... Dragonforce or something!)

In multiplayer, has to be the ?32?-player deathmatch I once took par in on a level called the Cistern (Which is a 2-player map!)

Multi-tasking... ehh... probably Falcon 4 or pretty much any RTS in multiplayer...

Okay, here's one: Urban Terror (http://www.urbanterror.net) (Open-source Q3A TC).  Where's aldo 14?  I heard him asking if he could play the bad guys in AA... he should try this.  (I like to be SWAT... you can also play as "The Red Hand" or something like that... :yes: Good game, fast action (Survival, CTF, more...)
