[Husky]

Skyrim, the most immersive game I've experienced.

b-but I like long posts...

I like Alan Wake, it's got a superb story with a great main character.
Prey is still the best FPS I've ever played, real neat game.
Kingdom Hearts may be overly cheesy and retarded as all shit, but that doesn't stop it from playing well, and telling a swell story.
Shadow of the Colossus bLEW MY MIND
The Last of Us is post-apocalyptic
So is STALKER .

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Impossible to pick one.....but if I had to

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

I felt like a Jedi.

 

[Zangiefy360]

Lunar: The Silver Star (Sega CD)

An amazing story, with unforgettable characters that was simply a delightful experience.

 

[MaestroMike]

Mario Kart is fun to play with other people.

 

[ROMhack]

Shadow of the Colossus because it reminds me how futile it is to try.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Dodonpachi Daioujou is the hardest and most mesmerizing 22-minute rhythm game level of all time.

 

[Tesseract]

natural selection or titanfall 2

why --> high skill ceiling multiplayer shooters that look and feel fantastic

 

[ROMhack]

Dodonpachi Daioujou is the hardest game to spell correctly first time.

FTFY

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Kirby's Adventure is a masterclass in squeezing every last drop out of console hardware while simultaneously offering up fantastic level design.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Gravity Rush 1 and 2- their universe and kat are beautiful

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Not my fav game but off the top of my head...

Axelay.

Masterful music and Mode 7 madness.

 

[Mistershine.]

Borderlands 2, because reasons.

 

[garballax]

amazing chest ahead

 

[Jtibh]

Alundra.
No need to explain why.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Dark Souls (franchise) - The pure focus on gameplay, challenge, exploration, replay value and bosses makes all my inner organs go boom.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Persona 4 because Yukiko Amagi is the greatest Waifu of all time.

 

[GHG]

Currently (not of all time) Wolcen lords of mayhem.

My new obsession.

 

[Orta]

Doom:

because its the greatest game ever made obviously.

 

[brian0057]

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

Like Metal Gear but good.

 

[Pejo]

Currently (not of all time) Wolcen lords of mayhem.

My new obsession.

Kratos Combo is a skill in this game? Interesting.

On topic:

Symphony of the Night is the most re-playable metroidvania ever created.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Currently (not of all time) Wolcen lords of mayhem.

My new obsession.

This really could be one of the top ARPGs available with just a little more polish. I’m rooting for the devs

 

[Captain Hero]

Metal Gear Solid

Story , Characters , game-play , stealth , boss fight , emotions and Solid Snake

I can write an essay about it and it won't be enough tbh

 

[pennythoughts]

Dota 2.
Incredible depth with a robust roster of over 100 heroes that manage to feel and play completely differently from each other while fulfilling their own competitive niche.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Soma, because I hate everything that is good and holy in this world.

 

[Ballthyrm]

Baldur's gates II because the protagonist is the least interesting character of the whole game.

 

[Codes 208]

Halo 3 because it has something for everyone like a good campaign, multiplayer, custom games, forge and theatre mode.

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Skies of Arcadia Legends is my favorite game because of its unique world, inspiring protagonist, fun turn-based gameplay (including airship combat), and emphasis on exploration and discovery.

 

[EightBit Man]

Shenmue - It had everything I ever wanted from a video game.

 

[Pidull]

Chrono Trigger

One of the best time travel stories, including a colorful cast of characters and enhanced by an incredible soundtrack.

 

[EverydayBeast]

If you have a console in the last 10 years you've probably met this game, COD4 prides it self on it's campaign but there's plenty of time to be had in the perfect multiplayer.

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

I want to give a shout-out to Sleeping Dogs as well. I love its open world Hong Kong setting and the melee combat is really fun and addicting.

 

[amigastar]

GTA Series
I admire the taste in fine music of Rockstar.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Final Fantasy VII is getting a remake.

 

[Jigsaah]

PHANTOM-MUTHAFUCKIN-DUST



It is a concept that no one has yet to truly reproduce. I've said this in many many posts...pretty much every chance I get.

The game combines, pvp, deck building, arena fighting, 2 v 2 and asymmetric combat...all wrapped up in a post apocalyptic, cyberpunk stylistic with a very anime-esque storyline that movies like Interstellar has borrowed from all while using psychic powers in a multitude of forms as your weapons.

It requires, creative ingenuity, cat like reflexes, situational awareness, teamwork, the ability to adapt on the fly, to sacrifice for the win. It is literally the most competitive game I've ever played. It requires me to use damn near all of the skills I've honed from different games. The fight is different everytime because people always come up with new deck ideas. Your skills come out in random order, like a deck builder which means you have to adapt on the fly and make split second decisions.

Just short of a wall of text. Got Damnit for the love of all that is fuckable play this damn game Yukio Futatsugi is a got damn genius.

 

[Vawn]

Bloodborne is a good video game.

 

[TexMex]

Ultima Online, because it was an MMO that actually felt like a community and had a functioning economy that meant something.

 

[Azelover]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Two words: Pure magic.

 

[TUROK]

Super Mario Bros 3 cause it's full of quirky secrets, the art style and sound design are sublime, and that gameplay loop is a great example of easy to learn, harder to master.

 

[Macapala]

Super Metroid.

Why -> Because...

 

[Old Retro]

Street Fighter II The World Warrior and it's spinoffs/clones for the time I spent playing coin ops and consoles, playing with friends and strangers.

Plus it's great fun to play when shit hammered drunk

 

[Hostile_18]

Deus Ex (2000). Player choice.

Witcher 3 (2016). Toss a coin to your Witcher, oh valley of plenty.

 

[TexMex]

Super Metroid.

Why -> Because...

I'm a couple hours into my first play through of this. Loving it.

 

[Chromata]

The Last of Us because the story is personal and characters feel very real.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Silent Hill 2 , I like the idea of replayability to match all the pieces of the story and experience its action and puzzles difficulty on every level differently, pretty much all what I need from a limited size game.

 

[wyvern_bloodfist]

Pandora's Tower - Because i love everything about it

 

[sdrawkcab]

I want to give a shout-out to Sleeping Dogs as well. I love its open world Hong Kong setting and the melee combat is really fun and addicting.

It's definitely up there.

This is really hard for me; so many games have made a huge impact on my youth. Tekken 3, GTA: Vice City, Need For Speed, Cyberia 2 (old PC game), Heretic (another old PC classic), BUG (another old PC classic), Pitfall (another old PC classic)...

But, if I had to give the title to one game... I'd give it to the first Max Payne...or maybe Max Payne 2. Fuck! I dunno... I can't pick.

And then, there's Halo. The first FPS I enjoyed after all the great FPS games in the mid and late 90s.

Okay, it's Max Payne 2. But Max Payne 1 was soooooo good too. Arghhhh!

 

[Barnabot]

ace combat: riding into the danger zone with memes.

 

[Birdo]

Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64).

It takes me to a place I enjoy.

 

[Doom85]

Quite a few have come close, but nothing captured the feel of an epic adventure into a strange, new world on the level that Final Fantasy IX did.
