Probably the original Paper Mario. Yeah, it's Mario-the RPG, but it's fun, and it's a way to get people who don't like RPG's into them.

Have you tried attaching a helicopter to a plane and then use the cruise control to surf your plane-helicopter combo directly into a building?Ljs1121 said:
Or switching from your plane to your helicopter?
You should do that, no-one ever said anything bad about the game after they saw me play.
It's just pure awesome in game form.
Halo. The exepriences I've had with that series just define my FPS career so to speak. So much thought was put into it I guess and thats why I get all confused when people hate on it. Sure you can hate on the players but we're talking about the game here.
Is that third sentence even English? Sorry if you're making some sort of joke because the Internet can't translate across a few sarcastic-ish statements. So feel free to ignore the following if i've missed a joke.Elmoth said:
Well, i'm glad you've achieved a super high level of intelligence and/or perception because if one video you "once saw" makes you so absolutely positive that you hate the entire 40-50 hour game then go you.
I can't remember darts being in the club scene but i'll let that one slide.
This is where i'm tempted to bring down the troll accusations... I shall refrain however, since this site is troll free 99% of the time.

Guild wars 2. Yea the game's not perfect. And yea it still uses a lot of the traditional formula that a lot of people have grown bored with. But to say you'd 'hate' the game? That's just not possible imo... It's too gorgeous, and does enough things differently for it to still feel new and fun.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
Just hearing the theme song is enough to make me unconsciously smile. I love practically everything about this game from the combat (yes, even the combat!) to the story. Once in a while I will be strolling around Vivec and think "everything in this game is so big and unique, how could anyone not enjoy playing this game?"

Also this. The game is very beautiful. There are many places I've been to that made me have to re-align my jaw because it dropped so hard, like when I first discovered Vigil's Keep.sanquin said:
Every halo game (aside from wars). I do not get the hate for them. Bungie puts great care into balance and fun and people dismiss it as generic, which is bullshit.
Call of Duty, any game in the series.
Yes, I am aware that they are pretty much the same game in different settings, but I don't care about that. I will stop loving Call of Duty when I stop loving first person shooters.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, you mean the anime? Cuz that's from the anime they released somewhat recently. Yeah, fine I can totally agree with you on that. It's what happens when you try to shove 40-50 hours of gameplay into like 30 20 minute episodes.Elmoth said:
It's pretty much a complete, if unintentional and unfortunate bastardisation of the game :/
Besides the english voices are awesome in the game. I don't have to rip Teddie's eyes out because in English he's not out "desu-ing" Suiseiseki by spamming Kuma into every other word.
Now there's an old reference and a half.
And HA, you don't hate Persona 4! You hate Persona 4: The Animation! I WIN AGAIN!
I hope Ubisoft don't go for the 'realism' angle in Assassin's Creed post-III (let's be honest, they'll do it, it doesn't need sequels, but they'll do it); the 'somewhat realistic-but-stylised' design is much nicer than complete realism, hell I'd like to see an AssCreed game in the visual style of that short film they released after Revelations.Adam Jensen said:
On Topic: Stacking.
Like many others in this thread, it oozes charm, it's the perfect length for its price, and it's a unique concept nicely executed.
Ha, the parachute mention was actually supposed to refer to Just Cause 2, just like I had Skyrim in mind for the horseride - kinda forgot that you can do both in the AssCreeds tooPieBrotherTB said:
Lost Planet 2, the environment in those first few levels was so gorgeous, the ability to search and explore for hidden routes and use your grapple to launch yourself into an akrid and kill it with machine gun fire will live fondly in my heart for a while. Sure the game got a little more stale during those few levels where you foughy nothing but normal people, but damn were those akird battle fun as hell.
Agreed, but only on the singer aspect. The composition itself is BRILLIANT.GoaThief said:
It would be 100x better without vocals, but that's just me. The guy behind the music itself (Shoji Meguro) is pure genius, and I've recognized his work since the early days of Persona 1.
Here is some of his work on the Trauma Center franchise - you can see is handiwork (or rather, hear) across many Atlus titles.
What about the poor audio production too? Can't deny that either.GTwander said:
The video you linked is much, much better on every level. He should stick to that instead of pop music, it seems. Bursting with character if a little melodramatic, it's quite musically interesting too. I'm guessing the poor audio quality is due to Youtube as the levels seem perfectly balanced and sounds quite processed.
Do you know if Shoji Meguro also produces his music or if he's just a composer? That may explain the massive difference between the two in that area. Thanks for sharing as it's been somewhat illuminating.
Yes. I actually didn't start with P4 is started with 3. And if it weren't for the fact that you can only control the protagonist it would have been outstanding. Now P4, a fantastic experience thats such a damn shame you can't play it for the first time twice. The gameplay even turn based wise is solid, story is fun, characters are charming and are so deep that it would make Joss Whedon's jaw drop. Its just a game that anyone who hates JRPGs would probably not put down because its so engaging. Now I will say the music is a little weird, but based on the instrumentals and just how catchy the background and battle music is its the funnest music in gaming history.The Wykydtron said:
Resident Evil 4. There are a couple of mishaps, but it's just so varied and fun to play you can't help but enjoy yourself.
Yes, ACII is unquestionably a gorgeous game. Even by today's standards it still looks really good. I don't know if you ever went back to the mountain area after the cart chase. I did because I never had time to take in the view since I was more concentrated on the driving my carriage. If you haven't gone back their and taken in the view, I highly recommend that you do. It is spectacular.NinjaDeathSlap said:
My own choice for this topic is the soundtrack to Bastion. I can how the narration, gameplay, and aesthetics might not be for everyone (I loved them) but I don't see how anyone could dislike that superb soundtrack. The song when you are carrying Zulf at the end of the game is one of my favorite moments in any video game ever. And then the credits song, I get shivers every time I hear it:
