Hey! im pretty new to the forums and just as a way to say Hi! im gonna ask whats your Favorite WC game. Mine is WC3
 
Looks like this is a good noob thread to post in

I gotta say my favorite WC game is either WC1 or WC2. I have played every WC game there is, and those are still the best. There was just something about the fighters, their sleek lines, and you gotta say the 'Claw was an awesome carrier. So was the Concordia, I love those GIANT particle beams. I would sometimes find a nice spot to stop my fighter and watch the concordia exchange blows with a pair of ralathas, I cant remember that mission it was, but it was such a cool experience back in '93.
 
Has to be WCIV. Sure, the story/FMV overshadowed the gameplay and I only have the super-butchered Playstation version, but it was just so much fun. WC3 might even be better, but, yeah, I'll have to go with IV.

WC1 is great, too, but very frustrating--how come there are so many escort missions!? :confused:

WC4 was a masterpiece as far as the FMV was concerned. For me, the portrayal of Tolwyn's self-destsruction really hit home. I remember the first time I played WC4, I had just finished reading Fleet Action. The contrast was striking and did very well in showing what war can do to a man.
 
"One who fights monsters should be careful that he himself does not become a monster," by Nietzche would seem to sum up the situation with Tolwyn. He stared into the Abyss of humanity's destruciton so long, became acustomed to it, that when he fell in, he didn't notice the difference.

As for favorite game, I'd have to vote for Privateer. I liked that game a lot.
 
WC 1 has my vote for pure nostalgic value probably but the combat was so smooth, so realistic at the time, it was the greatest. Plus, you really felt like you knew your wingmates and getting to fly with each of them was like a different chapter in a novel. Fantastic game! WC2 was really good as well, however, I remember I was so disappointed when I first saw it in the game store because I read the back and found out that my character had been court-martialed and busted down to captain (after all my hard work becoming a Major!!!). Lol, still I loved the game. The others were all great work as well but in lesser increments of sentiment for me.
 
I like WC3 for the atmosphereic missions and the Tbomb run. Truth is I still play Wc1 and 2 i cant leave my raptor or my broadsword
 
WC1 and its add-ons are great since they were my first foray into this universe. I'd have to say my favorite, though, would have to be Privateer.

C-ya
 
My personal fav is WC2. It's all the good-feeling stuff from WC1 plus some awesome plot. And the whole personal rivalry thing with Jazz was the BEST rivalry ever!
 
WC1 being the first game in the Wing Commander universe I played, I must admit I still like it better than the other ones (though I didn't play Prophecy yet).
Nevertheless, I would choose Privateer as my favorite, because even though there's a story, you can fly whatever mission you like, without any particular order. Plus you can upgrade you ship to your liking!
 
My personal favoriite has to be WC2 with the Secret Missions 2 for wc1 coming in second. Third place is taken by WCIV... but it is true that I like each of these almost equaly but all for different reasons.
 
And it's not a home just a house...

I would say Privateer at the moment. I have great memories playing that game. It was also my favorite manual to flip through and read. I can understand why most people like the very first Wing Commander above all. That game was like a dream to me. Only now I can never get it to work on my fancy shmancy computer.

But anyway, I liked how in Privateer you could just save up money doing whatever and then it was so cool the first time I purchased a new ship and started putting all the add ons. I also liked the bartender in that game and how he had the same face everywhere with a different hairdo. And the way the storyline started was really fun too. Ahh Sandoval, where are your grumblecakes now?
 
My favorite WC game has to be WC4. It was so awesome when I bought back in 97 that when I lost the game in a move a few years back I had to buy another copy just to get my fix lol. The game was so awesome, you could choose your ship, choose your armament, choose what side you wanted to be on, choose what missions you want to fly, even choose which system to go to! It was so awesome. WC2 comes in second though just because it was an excellent game when it came out and it also introduced me to the WC Universe. Privateer comes in third jus because its a good game too but I got it after I bought WC4 so I like the plot, just not the animations type( it just looked weird after playing WC3, WC4, and Prophecy.)
 
I have to agree, I played through WC4 for the first time this year and it is definitely the apex of the series. I enjoyed WCP, but it was just too damn easy. The only games that I have not yet played are Privateer and it's sequel. Are they worth picking up on ebay?
 
Right now, WC3 - because it was my first WC game (though I tried out WC2) and I felt most at home there. Though this might change, I'm still going through WC1 on Kilrathi Saga.
