Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.

Like some already said, I too love Mass Effect, Dragon Age, The Elder Scrolls, Zelda TP and Stardew Valley. It's hard for me to chose a favorite game… There's a few of them I equally like, and it kinda changes depending on my mood.

Saints Row 2 is one I haven't seen mentioned yet. There's always something fun to do in this game and it’s hard to get tired of it. The map is packed full of interesting stuff, feels bigger than it actually is. And without writing a novel about it, I like the story a lot. It's a perfect balance between wacky and serious, plus the characters are great. Truly underrated game imo. Shame what happened to the series…

Mario RPG. It's just enjoyable, it's a video game toy you really play with. Throughout you're encouraged to just have fun and not take anything seriously. Yeah jump on whatever you want, see if you can land on that Toad running around in circles. You did it, here's a funny little animation as a reward. run up a debt at the hotel and play bellhop, get yelled at for jumping on the shop counter, officiate a wedding, do some random backtracking to see Samus sleeping, go on a world spanning scavenger hunt. All while every little attack and magic is a little minigame to play with. Dont worry about grinding, here's a power star to run through a dozen battles worth of xp in a few seconds.

Dead by Daylight. I love it as much as I hate it.

Y's Book I & II on the TurboGrafx-16 system.

I really enjoyed the story and music in that game. I just played through it again a couple years ago.

Star Control 2. My son and I just started another playthrough.

Red Dead Redemption 2 with zero hesitation; honorable mention to Skyrim.

I don't know of I could ever say a single game.

Minecraft is definitely the one I've spent most time, probably more than a couple of thousands of hours

Empire Earth is the one I go back the easiest

Sim City Franchise / Cities Skylines

Guess I like building, planning, laying things out and watching things grow :)

Streets of Rage 2. Favourite soundtrack, too.

Final Fantasy Tactics is my all time favorite game. But someone else mentioned Legend of Dragoon, and I have to say that game was just pure beauty.

Final Fantasy VI is a close second. And so is Fallout 2. I've replayed that many times.

Gotta go with Morrowind. It was a pretty formative experience during my early teenage years, and it's one of the few that I boot back up for a fresh run about once a year. Instigating the downfall of the Tribunal has become something of an autumn ritual for me. I know the world map layout of Morrowind better than I remember the layout of some of my own childhood homes.

It's a little clunky and not enjoyable for a lot of people that jumped into Elder Scrolls with Oblivion or Skyrim, but for old school fans, it's still probably the single greatest product that Bethesda has ever released. Fallout New Vegas makes a close second place on that list, but at least in my opinion, Morrowind holds the crown and given modern Bethesda's tendencies I don't expect that to change.

NFL 2k5.

And I'm still mad with EA about the exclusive NFL License.

Gothic I&Ii

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I've played a lot of games and it's hard to choose an all-time favorite, but Planescape: Torment is the one I still think about the most, 24 years after playing it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

THPS2 and a close one is F.E.A.R.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

My personal all time favorite is hands down Halo 2. At that time my family only had dial up and I only ever played Halo 1 or 2 single player. Well one day I make a new friend and stay over at his house and they had high speed internet, Xbox live, and Halo 2. It was the first game I ever played online and it blew my mind. I remember going home and begging my parents for high speed internet and Xbox live but it was a hard sell especially because at the time they didn't mind dial up. They eventually switched after a few months because they got tired of the phone line being tied up lol

I love Nier:Automata. The sound track, gameplay, story, all of it is just tied together so well. It impacted me so much and is definitely my favorite game. Planning on getting a tattoo based on the black box and lunar tear from the game someday

Enteral Darkness. Greatest game of all time!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

For myself: Illusion of Gaia (SNES).

I hear a lot of people talk about Soul Blazer and Terranigma when talking about this trilogy but IoG was always my favourite. I still have the soundtrack on my phone after all these years.

That Dr. Mario vs Tetris game. My mom would bust it out and we’d have competitions way past bedtime because she was addicted. So some good childhood memories attached to a fun little game.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion or GTA 4. 100% nostalgia picks since these are the games that I played endlessly as a preteen into high school. I would maybe throw Pokemon R/B/Y in there too since those were the games I played endlessly until I was old enough to start detasseling and buy myself GTA 4, Oblivion, and an Xbox 360

Tecmo Super Bowl

WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain. Used to do 2-3 season mode playthroughs in one session, it was that addicting.
