Metroid Prime, the thread
Putting the disc in my gamecube and see that marvelous game with my eyes, after 2 years salivating and waiting for a good price, reading magazine articles about it, then picking up player's choice edition... Man, what an incredible experience, I'd pay to live again and again that 2004 summer, Prime blowed my 12 yo mind
Smash bros, having Pikachu kicking Mario, Bowser and Kirby's ass was mindblowing too
Mario Sunshine, magical game and incredibly fun still nowadays
Re4, above his time still today, felt and feel incredible, far better than I could ever have imagined
Pokémon 3rd gen, the jump after gold and silver was insane, I discovered about it one month prior its release thanks to a magazine, my brain exploded when I played it for the first time
As you can see, most of my magical moments are gc era related, definitely the best gamer years of my life
If I have to find some thing more recent, I choose Destiny: received in bundle, tried, blah wtf is this mess, sold after three days, rebought, now my favourite game of the gen, and in my top 5 ever
Slowly realizing the scope of that game, experiencing team strikes wows me every day, and I play it almost every day, much better than anything else of his genre imho, it has some secret sauce who make you love it more than the others coop shoothers
