Last week, Cybersport.ru authors called five gamesthat deserve the highest rating. However, not all had time to speak out, so today we present to you the opinions of other members of the editorial board about titles, which definitely should get ten out of ten.

Lineage 2

It was always uncomfortable for me to evaluate games according to their graphics, plot, gameplay or similar parameters. To evaluate means to compare with something else, and in recent years I rarely find time to try something new. For this article, I chose a game without specific criteria, but the one that had the greatest impact on my life. Prepare your jokes, hard workers, because this game is Lineage 2!

I met LA2 in my freshman year. I have never been a big fan of MMORPG, because I preferred strategies like Warcraft III or StarCraft, but the “Ruler” literally sucked me from the first days. It was played by my former classmates, who after school entered other universities. Thanks to LA2, it was easy and convenient for me to keep in touch with them, which I was very happy about. We all hung out on a cozy Interlude x3 server with no more than a thousand people online. Over time, they made their clan and then met regularly at a computer club near the university to discuss server policies. A year later, such meetings began to gather up to 30 people, and on the day of the siege of castles, the computer club completely turned into the headquarters of our clan. I was pretty damn good at LA2. Perhaps the best moments of my student life are connected with this game, despite the regular hassle during the sessions (did someone else have it?).

I always liked the way Lineage 2 builds relationships between people. The game, as it were, itself encourages you to communicate: you constantly help someone, fight with someone, negotiate raids, engage in trade, organize boss trips, etc. Diplomacy, negotiations, intrigues, and cunning are just a pure buzz , which is rarely seen in other games. Recently, after almost fifteen years, I installed LA2 again and was happy to see that little has changed in this regard. It is a pity that almost no one from the old Soklans is playing.

As I said, this game can bring people together. Many of my friends found their best friends in LA2, someone found a girl, and one couple went even further and have been happily married for several years. I first met my son’s godfather when I was gathering people for a trip to the Republic of Belarus near Dion. That’s where communication gets you started! Every time we get together with an old company, someone will indulge in nostalgia: “And remember, then how we are then in LA2 …”. Great and pleasant memories that for some reason are not boring to discuss.

P.S. Anticipating some comments, I’ll say that I have never played WoW, so I can only judge about the social component of MMORPG by LA2. And I put it 10/10. Do not kick! =)

Grand theft auto v

Over the past many years, I can only consider one game worthy of a rating 10/10 – Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar did a great job and did a great job of fixing errors after the fourth part: it brought to mind the optimization on PC (in GTA IV, FPS still sags sometimes on very weak systems), corrected not the most comfortable for casual players transport management. At the same time, many chips of the old parts returned – “riots”, which were beaten by cut scenes with Trevor, aviation and others.

It’s been over six years since its release, but GTA V still remains relevant in every sense. The variety of gaming opportunities is simply amazing, the graphics will give odds to many titles that came out less than a year ago, and online is regularly updated with updates with new missions, ways to spend money and have fun with friends or even find them in the open spaces of Los Santos.

Looking at GTA V, you understand that Rockstar will have to try very hard so that the sixth part will turn out at least no worse. And to surpass the “five” will help only a miracle. But that’s Rockstar, that she can do it.

Resident evil 4

What should be a game that deserves a 10/10 score? In my understanding, it may not have advanced graphics, as well as a chic sound or an incredible plot. It should move the genre or even the entire industry forward, set new trends and expand consciousness not only among gamers, but also among all developers. I also think that a 10/10 game should be eternal. So that even after five or ten years, she continues to look like a gift from outer space, which we did not deserve.

One of these for me was Resident Evil 4. By the fourth part, Capcom just turned the game upside down. In the “four” appeared revolutionary aiming mechanics with a view from behind the shoulder, which is now found in every second shooter. It has an incredible atmosphere and gameplay that is still unparalleled. It is assembled so as to surprise after five, ten and even 15 years. This year she, by the way, is exactly 15 years old.

I will never forget the first meeting with a chainsaw from the village. How to shoot back from crazy sectarians, entrenched in a huge house. How he ran through the dungeons of the castle from a monster that focuses only on the sound of my steps. As he delightedly watched brilliantly directed cut-scenes with which even now, few compare.

Resident Evil 4 is a timeless game. It still causes the feeling that it came out only yesterday, and overshadows all the other new items. She does not need any remaster, no remake and no rethinking. She was born an ideal.

Mass effect 2

I began to pass Mass Effect 2 several times after 10-12 hours of the game, when I realized that I could not save the whole team. The point here is not perfectionism, but the fact that BioWare managed to fall in love with me in each of the heroes of the second part. Empathy was caused not only by old Garrus, who was familiar from the first game, but also Samara, Thane and even the Legion. The quest lines for each of them revealed the hero, his motivation, outlook on life, and the past. Thanks to this, the team in Mass Effect 2 is more than just a set of companions with different abilities that you need to use only for effective passage.

In the second part, BioWare improved and diversified the universe created three years earlier. The world around the player really began to resemble a full-fledged cosmic fantasy in all its diversity – from strip bars with neon lights and dancers of different races to dying planets. And in Mass Effect 2, the Ghost appeared, one of the most interesting and controversial characters in the franchise. Cut scenes from his command center, where an incredible view opened up, is pure pleasure. Mass Effect 2 is not only the best part of the trilogy, but also, perhaps, one of the most striking RPGs in the history of video games. 10/10.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords

The Sith Lords for me remains the benchmark for party RPGs and games in general. A huge epic adventure, the full study of which will take dozens, if not hundreds of hours and several walkthroughs. The title has many strengths – the plot, the combat system, leveling and more. But the systems of partners and the moral compass stand out the most, which together with a huge amount of content provide amazing replayability.

Firstly, companions are perfectly spelled out. They boast a rich background and well-developed personalities. Secondly, they constantly interact – with the protagonist, the rest of the team and other NPCs. Thirdly, the player can influence them and methodically change their worldview. Heroes can be turned into villains, and villains into good Samaritans. Some may even make Jedi. And with all this, companions do not remain idiots: they understand that they are changing, and can respond to gameplay orders that are unusual for their nature.

The system of interaction with partners is closely connected with the moral compass of the protagonist himself. Karma exists in many games, but in few places it is worked out so well and has such a big impact on the gameplay. Here, the personality is determined not by a pair of scripted scenes, but by almost every choice and dialogue throughout the story. Morality gives bonuses and penalties for abilities, opens new paths and plot twists, even changes appearance.

Star Wars: KOTOR II not only deserved 10/10 15 years ago: now it can easily compete with modern titles, despite all its technical limitations.
