Did Ren sideline your other games?[ 50 votes ]
1. Yes 34 / 68%
2. No 16 / 32%

Serious question I have been wondering of asking for a long time.

Does anyone here over the course of playing Renegade feel that it made other games you played irrelevant?

After playing Renegade for about a year (I got it in Jan 2007), I felt that it was too difficult to put it away AND get on with another game.

Over the course of the past 3 years, I bought many games including TFD, C&C 3, KW, RA3 just for the single player campaigns but was unable to complete them because I would quit halfway and jump to a Ren server. The only game in the past 3 years I managed to finish the Single Player and actually play multiplayer online was Red Faction...which btw is eerily similar to Ren.

I thought personally the final blow for my Renegading will come with the release of Renegade X but I was surprised that for me, even that did not have an effect on me personally. I think for me, there is some combination of the older graphics, the physics, and teambased gameplay that is making it very hard to play another game.

I want to know how many of you feel the same way or had similar experience over the course of playing Renegade.

Renegade is by far superior. It's got action, it's got strategy, it's got gameplay, the setting is fucking awesome, etc. etc. you all know why it's an amazing game that eclipses other games simply because it can do so much where others (no matter how good they are) can do so little.

Since I started playing Renegade I have not bought many other games. I bought some Sims games, because I used to love those, and I also bought CoD4... I played CoD for 2 weeks online, didn't even try the single player. Then I was like screw this game, way to unpredictable with all the assholes randomly throwing grenades or that martydom shit... plus it didn't have the community feel. When you play Renegade you recognize people from forums, IRC, and maybe other servers, I like that, makes it friendlier (most times). And of course the gameplay and style of Renegade, just awesome.

Oh yea, almost forgot about making skins, Renegade is like a interactive coloring book. Keeps it fresh and fun.

I've played other games for the single player, but there's only ever been one game for me... Smile

I still play renegade but if i buy another game i keep playing that till i finished it so renegade doesnt really sideline my other games.

If i didnt bought games and finished all others im pretty much swapping between my games that have multiplayer

Renegade has distracted me greatly tbh, I still have about 15-20 Xbox games (not 360) that I need to finish and a few pc games.

After playing Renegade I feel a lot of Shooters, both first and third, just don't compare. They just aren't as fun or unique and are made poorly, except for Halo, Star Wars Battlefront (1 & 2), and of course the Half Life series.

It did really sideline my games. I have been playing for close to 8 years now, and although for the past two I haven't been that active of a Renegade player, I still play more Ren than anything else.

I used to just get into games for about two weeks and then come back to Renegade, but now I barely play games, and when I do, it is Renegade. Probably because C&C mode will always be superior to deathmatch and CTF.

Yeah, back in 2007 when I started playing religiously it did. I was playing Renegade all damn day.

It did at first, but now other games are sidelining Renegade for me.

Nope, I was kinda between games when the Demo came out. Played rene non-stop, then mixed with Planetside, then BF2, then Cod4 and the l4d series. Really played only renegade for a long time.

Not really. I go between games- I play one game religiously for a month or so, then another, then another, etc... usually I come back to them, though, since I don't have a huge selection.

I still haunt the community, though Very Happy

I replied yes: I avoid getting into new games as I know I only have enough free time for one, maybe max two games. Ren will always be a part of those Wink.

I've tried lots of other games online, some have been fun for like a week or two. Nothing comes close though to the gameplay on renegade.

Renegade is the shit
no one else has made anything like it; they basically put out the only existing First Person Strategy game, and it's awesome

it's buggy and not perfect but that does not change the fact


the only other game i played massively was Diablo 2

I just noticed this. Is it safe to assume you cheat at StarCraft, too? Cheats for StarCraft are pretty easy to get and use, so if you would go through the effort of cheating in Renegade, I think it's pretty safe to assume you cheat in StarCraft (Especially since there's more to gain there).

If you do, can I have your IP to add to my banlist?

Then again, banning anyone for anything automatically makes you a biased prick who shouldn't be a moderator.

I've logged more hours into Ren than any other game and committed a vast majority of my spare time into creating things for Ren, but it hasn't stopped me from playing other games.

Renegade is like the go-between between games. It's a fallback, a default that I go to when there is nothing else.

But being a basic 'fallback' is an accomplishment in itself. It's a game so simple yet so immerse that it creates a level where it can be held as an absolute perfection. Instead of sitting around doing nothing when you're bored, you sit around playing Renegade.

Basically it's so exceptional it can be considered to be on the same level as walking and breathing. Big Grin

It used to, when i renereaged for like 2 years straight. The fact of the matter was that renegade was purely awesome, however the people and communities are what made me love this game. Since most of my friends have quit, the .cc league has fell and my clan dissolved I rarely find time for a game I truly love. It's the people that made this game great for me =[
