Best game ever made.

The problem with this old chestnut is whether you take the date of the game into account or not. If you do then my answer would possibly be System Shock 2 (yes I was one of the handful of people who actually bought it at release thank you very much) although it did have respawning enemies which is a "feature" I've always hated. If we're not taking date into account then it would be something recent, because games have IMO gotten a lot better over the years, so probably Dishonored for me. I just love that game.
Halo is my favourite series of all time
I do love FIFA (because no 2 games are the same, in 2 player anyway)
and Skyrim.... ummm....

I don't think there's a "best" game but yes, Grim Fandango *is* fantabulousBlunderboy said:
When you say "best visuals", while the design and aesthetic are (near enough) second-to-none, the 3D graphics themselves haven't really held up that well... Don't get me wrong, they don't detract from the game - and I have quite nostalgic feelings regarding them - but they might put off new players a little, which is a shame. A lot of "early-days 3D" games are similar :/
Haven't played Planescape: torment, but I can confirm that Deus Ex looks like ass and hasn't especially aged well. Yes it's got lots of cool qualities, but keeping up with the times is not one of them.VeryOddGamer said:
Either Tabletop D&D or Warhammer 40k. I personally like the combat system in 40k better, but D&D is easier to understand, not to mention is a lot more recognizable. Although the setting in 40k is a lot more in-depth and complex. Actually, yeah, I think I'd have to go with Warhammer 40k Tabletop Roleplay. What? I didn't hear anyone say it had to be a video game, and Tabletop games are legitimately awesome. Completely wide open sandbox, hundreds of hours of playability, not to mention that you can do literally anything reasonable for your character, so there's no issues with limitations of controls. I mean, in my first ever Dark Heresy Warhammer 40k Campaign, I started out as a lowly guardsmen from a feral world that was kidnapped, given a gun, and expected to fight; and by the end I had a flying Motorcycle, Giant Las-Cannons and Machine Rocket launchers, chainswords, psyblades, and so on. not to mention that I was strong enough to throw an elephant at people as a legitimate attack.
Throughout that one campaign I did everything from Jumping of cliffs hundreds of feet high after shooting off a man's leg from 100 meters away, Helped with orbital bombardment on a planet, opened a door with a gunhammer (killing 3 people in the process), coming back from a successful suicide mission via flying motorcycle, pulling out a pair of sunglasses from the warp in order to look cooler while coming back from said suicide mission, killing a fighter drone with a flintlock pistol while attempting to get back from a certain suicide mission, lassoing a servitor with some rope I happened to have on me while I was flying through space after a suicide mission. (It was a busy day for me) There was even some slower economic based challenges like building a factory to provide supplies and profit, rallying a city to come to our aid, and even building a combination hotel/casino/restaurant/massage parlor/something else. Hell, there was even a stealth element to it. Despite my large stature and heavily armed nature, I snuck into a fancy dinner party completely inconspicuously. I simply learned how to cook some basic meals in the weeks leading up to the party. Then I caught a massive shark that the DM might've expected me to use as a signature dish, which I did, but I also used it to smuggle in a lot of my weapons, and even one of my teammates as well. And I never once broke the rules of the game.
I'll admit that the single-player is non-existant, and you usually want a group of at least 4 people to play with, but I got almost 200 hours out of that single campaign, and there wasn't any farming or grinding, or any other repetitive annoying stuff. Oh, and at one point I built a gun that fired Shurikens and Lightning. Then I mounted it to Flaming Chainsaw Gun-chucks.

Very well, I dont want to get another warning for a low content post. Just about every element of SOTC is perfect, the graphics arent the best but this is the PS2 we are talking about here. But still, the art direction more than makes up for it, the game world is a character unto itself. Even without a day/night cycle, towns and villages and tons of NPCs and quests, its a place that is a joy to explore. I especially like the desert areas, they are by far the best looking deserts Ive seen in a videogame. Just as the narrow mountain passes look cold and damp from lack of sunlight, the desert appears to be extremely hot. The design of the ruins are spectacular, they feel ancient and forbidden just as the whole land does. The lack of any living thing other than lizards and birds speak volumes about the cursed nature of the place. A primeval, cursed land that looks as if it wavers between the real world and wherever we go when we dream.Terramax said:
Also, SOTC without very little dialog creates an emotional resonance that is unmatched by even the most verbose of RPGs. And thats not even touching on the utterly unique combat sequences or the incredible music.
Sorry, but I had a little chuckle at "faucet", I think you meant facet.The Wykydtron said:
Anyway, gotta be Tetris, pure game. Other than that, one of the Souls games or the Jak series would be mine.
best game ever? Settlers of Catan, its a board game, but its a game. ITS THE BEST GAME EVA!

Ah ha I just noticed. We call faucets "taps" in the UK, y'know the thing that water comes out from. We never call them faucets so oops my bad.ItsAChiaotzu said:
I think on systemshock.org there's a mod which allows you to choose spawn rates - either to boost them or decrease them (to nothing, if necessary). If you still have the disk for SS2 it also has instructions and stuff on getting it running on Win7 .Guy Jackson said:
http://www.systemshock.org is the main sight. Have a look around, it's pretty cool.
http://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=81.0 is the actual mod.

Best game ever made? I don't really know. Maybe...
Slaves to Armok, God of Blood: Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress: Histories of X and Y
The depth! The blood! The continous expansion! The megaprojects! The mermaid farming! The blood! The death of elves! The psychopathic fanbase!
The awesome.
Can't really say. I'm not fixating on one at the moment. Xenoblade Chronicles? Portal/Portal 2? Infamous 2? Minecraft? Each is an outstanding game that doesn't really have issues that give it negative points. I would call them Peerless, but each of them has similar games, but they win out over them.
I can understand story, probably helps that the characters have a little more life to them. If you don't mind, could explain why you feel the game play is better in the original.Olikar said:
