I like Unreal Engine. I'll play anything that uses it.

The Unreal engine, CryEngine (more 2 than 1). Source is a pretty nifty engine too.

OOO I like the tiny 2D frame work that I'm writing.    But I'd have to agree with the person above me Games beat out engines.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

It's ofcourse meant as I don't care what the game is written in or how it is.   As long as it works.   Ofcourse I realize what an engine does, how it works, and how it's designed.

they have video of the hero engine in action and it makes it look like i could go in and develop a world with my zero skills. Its really quite interesting plus it allows for streaming patches while you play and updating content without bringing the server down.

This is a message to the general populace of MMORPG.com as it is literally a black hole of fun that once you are swallowed up by, it is very hard to escape and makes everything in gaming a little less fun. Best thing you can do is do your own research and stop reading these boards because nothing will ever be good enough and everything will suck always forever if it makes its way into a discussion here.

Well the thread isn't about GAMES, but rather ENGINES. Engines are not meant to be played, they're tools of creation. They're the paintbrush and canvas an artist uses to make a painting.

That said, MetaPlace (if you want to count it as an engine) is really quite awesome. Flash has a lot going for it too, www.instantaction.com has shown a lot of amazing stuff that Flash can really do. Not long until we see a Flash based MMORPG I bet. And It'll be better than Runescape... I hope :P

Hero Engine, though I guess thats more from a design standpoint.

Hold on Snow Leopard, imma let you finish, but Windows had one of the best operating systems of all time.

The GTA one, maybe Source.  AOC seems that have a good engine ( Unreal?).  Farcry / Crysis  engine was good.

The best engine must be Crysis, for open areas shotters, and Source, for corridor shotters (it also do open areas).

It seems most MMORPG games use a variant of Unreal, or a custom made. So Unreal has to be the winner of this thread. Anyway I don't like Unreal. And is much more a console engine than a PC one now. So is unoptimized for PC.
