Title: How many of the Ultimas have you completed?
Post by: Damian79 on November 27, 2013, 02:58:31 AM: I only ever beat 6. I kind of feel bad.

And because of my Nintardism back in the day i was against online games. I missed out on Ultima Online. Would have been a better experience than the WoW experience post vanilla WoW.

Post by: ToxicAdam on November 27, 2013, 07:12:45 AM: Sadly, none. I always thought they were hard as hell or became a bit too boring at some point.

I ony played 4, 5 and 6. I was more into the Gold Box games and Might and Magic. Pretty much beat all of those.

I had a terrible experience with Ultima 6. I bought it new and wanted to love it, but I must have had an underpowered computer, because the load times were excruciating, the gameplay was slow and I encountered some bugs and corrupted save files. It soured me on the series as a whole.

Post by: Great Rumbler on November 27, 2013, 09:20:38 AM: I wasn't into the Ultima games back when they were new, unfortunately, and I've struggled to get into them in the years since. Just never have, though.

Post by: Rufus on November 27, 2013, 09:39:34 AM: I tried Ultima VII a while ago, but I just couldn't get into it. Something about the perspective just turned me off. The universe also rubs me the wrong way.
I remember seeing videos of Ultima IX and reading about how you would need a Voodoo 3 or whatever to play it and all that crap but completely lost sight of it after that. Wasn't much of a PC gamer until D2 and Baldur's Gate 2 came out. The MS-DOS and Amiga era completely passed me by.

Post by: Stoney Mason on November 27, 2013, 09:40:29 AM: Loved the series as a kid but never actually managed to beat any of them. I would get really far in them but get stuck at some point and never finish.

Post by: tiesto on November 28, 2013, 12:00:41 AM: I've played a good chunk of them (and now own the collection from GOG) but never beat any. I'd love to sit down and go through the whole series one day though...

Post by: Rusty Shackleford on November 28, 2013, 08:20:23 AM: Played Ultima - Exodus (Ultima 3) on the NES as a kid. Very confusing especially pre-internet era. I think it's what turned me off to first person dungeons. The music was good for a NES game, though. The castle, town and Ambrosia tracks were the best.

Post by: Himu on November 28, 2013, 08:44:37 AM: None. Have only played 4. Felt it was very outdated. Especially the controls which are confusing.
Title: Re: How many of the Ultimas have you completed?
Post by: naff on December 12, 2013, 09:42:36 PM: Only beaten 8, I loved 7 tho never finished it, and got pretty far in 4 last year. When I was a kid I was sure there wasn't any game cooler than 8, fucking robbing niccas and being a badass pagan summoning devils and shit, if only they didn't fuck it up so bad and push out a broken unfinished game it would still be a classic today.

Polish people do. One guy from Poland I know has 244 RPGs completed :fbm

What sort of Polish person hasn't beaten any Witcher games? :jawalrus

I've beaten like 7 or 8 Ultima games. Played the shit out of the series as a kid.

Yeah, the NES port of Ultima 3 was the second RPG I've ever played (first being the original DQ of course). I still remember the battle music:

The Ultima 4 NES port was pretty good too...

we have cleared exactly the same ultimas and have the same faves

yep. I honestly barely remember the worlds of ultima games. I bought them marked down when I was younger, but they were still pretty fun stuff. Something to do between replaying wing commander 2 over and over.
