Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Game stories of ridiculous scale?

Master of Orion 2 and GalCiv2 are pretty epic as well. In what other games do you destroy a star in order to prevent your eneamy gaining the ability to refuel locally?
Oh man. I forgot about Ginormo Sword.
Oh yeah, duh.. Freespace 2 is amazingly epic. I love that game. I'd absolutely love another space sim game that had battles of that scale and could recapture the feeling of that game. Even without the graphical enhancements available, it's rather pretty too.
What are the chances of a space sim that has combat as deep as Freespace 2's with epic scale battles, and a freeroaming system with full privateering/pirating?
I'm just depressing myself now.
I want a new version of it, bigger and better. Top down zelda style view would rock.
And if you get the ending with the special final boss, you get to kick the ass of
You realize posting that link here is like leaving a bag of powdered cocaine on a table in a rehab clinic cafeteria, right?
I work in a pharmacy. We feed the need all the time here.
SONOFABITCH. Now I'm addicted.
It sounds almost like Night of The Stormrider by Iced Earth, but I can't be fully sure. My realm is prog metal for the most part.
Origin is the exact same as my Steam, in case you're needing a Support or Assault in BF3.

It sounds like you really ought to just replay the God of War games more than anything else, though.
I was coming in here to say that, so I'll expound.
Ace Combat 4. Really, it's a fucking flight sim and it's one of the most epic games ever. The final mission in that game is ridiculously awesome and incredibly well executed. The other games in the series are a bit more hamfisted, and never quite reach the heights of that stage, but I can't recommend AC 4 enough.
It starts slow but does seem to ramp up after a while
More of an ensemble Star Wars kind of epic rather than a single handed sort of thing but it's not bad actually

Oh goddamnit you stole my one. I was going to say the one where you singlehandedly tear apart an entire fleet of battlecruisers in the upper atmosphere, then proceed to take on literally hundreds of enemy mechs while rescuing your weaker comrades supported by the Vic Viper.
This would be my third pick. Shadow of the Colossus easily takes this for me though.
I've wanted to play the ZoE series for a dog's age - is the first as good as #2?
As for SoTC that entire game was one legendary piece of art. Like something you'd find collected in mythology.
ZoE 2 is quite a bit better than 1, but 1 is still a good game. Off the top of my head I think the reason I liked 2 so much was that the sub-weapons were buffed.
This qualifies so very, very hard.
Ending spoilers:
Very, very epic.
I mean, sometimes I would just look up and think, "How the hell am I gonna kill that!"
Ooo, good one. Very good. This is one the OP definitely needs to play. Probably the deepest and most complex plot in recent years, with an absolutely crazy endgame.
Absolutely. Not to mention how insanely incredible the ending is.
Man, I just got a second hand copy in nearly mint condition for about $7.00 US. I haven't got far in, but there's definitely a strong feeling of "How the hell am I gonna kill that!"; combined with the utter thrill of killing the damn things, well let's just say I'm glad I found Shadow of the Colossus.
Congrats, man. I wish I could go back and play it for the first time again. So good.
A few times I would just look up in awe, and then realize, "Oh yeah, I have to somehow bring that down".
And a few times, when I did manage to beat one of them, it actually made me feel sad for it.
Holy crap, $7.00! You need to post that in the "Best Game Purchases" thread!
The best part is when I tried to kill the first Colossus with the bow. Big bastard just slowly turned around, looked down at me, and pulverized me with one hit of a mace bigger than Agro. It's pure joy.
I'm actually deriving great satisfaction from slaughtering the Colossi. Warder seems a little bit, well, willing to kill them based only a creepy sounding voice from nowhere, but this is a Japanese game. I'm sure it will all make sense in time. Until then, I get awesome boss fight after awesome boss fight!
I'm not even gonna name a specific game in the series since it all rocked. Oh well, alright. Soul Reaver. Wrote the book on epic story lines.

Yeah... Planescape + Chris Avellone means I should give the game a fair shot past that stupid alleyway.
