Games you loved INSTANTLY.

[Mannayz]

Not to sound like I'm a Valve fanboy, but I immediately fell in love with Half-Life and Half-Life 2. I also immediately fell in love with Resident Evil 4.

 

[Eklyx]

I went over to a buddy of mine's house and he was playing Just Cause 2. It's impossible to describe my thoughts upon finding out that there was a sandbox game with a hookshot.

 

[shadowstriker86]

It'll always be a 3 way tie between super mario world, final fantasy 6 and super mario rpg

 

[Captain Pirate]

Splinter Cell: Conviction.
Also Fallout 3 and Gears of War. Just amazing.

 

[Arisato-kun]

Blazblue Calamity Trigger. Loved it after the first round.

Mass Effect comes to mind as well. The second I saw my Shepard strut through the Normandy to the command console I knew I was in for one hell of a ride.

Persona 4's the earliest I began loving a game after purchase though. The opening is just fantastic.

Mass Effect 2 was really great right from the start. Plus importing my own custom Shepard from ME1 created an even stronger connection.

Also, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. It chucks you into a huge fight right from the start and you get up to creating armies of experimentals in the first level.

Crackdown. As soon as I heard the agency director, I knew it was going to be fun.

 

[Baldry]

Fallout 3, Oblivion, KoToR 1 and 2...I think I fall in love with most games since I only buy games that I know i'm going to like...

 

[Arisato-kun]

Persona 4 definitely. When something like this happens in the start of the game:


.. then you can't help having a nerdgasm.

Thank you for reminding me just how much ass Persona 4 kicks. I feel inclined to respond with this:

So much awesome in a single thread.

metroid fusion

 

[orangeapples]

shoot, I fell in love with Kingdom Hearts before the game even came out.
A game I fell in love with the first time I played it: Kung Fu Chaos.
A game I fell in love with after it came out AND I thought I wouldn't like it: F-Zero GX

 

[Dapper Ninja]

This could not be any more true. Everything about Persona just oozes awesome.

 

[Ekit]

Half-Life 2. Gman is the coolest character ever!

 

[RooftopAssassin]

Tropico Series! Gotta love em'.

Going really Old school... Tetris.

 

[Ironman126]

Fallout 3, Half-life 2, Portal, Frontlines: Fuel of War, Starcraft, Empire Earth, and Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings; respectively.

 

[The Root Beer Guy]

When I first heard the title screen music of Mass Effect, I knew that it would be one of my favorite games ever.

 

[EvilGamer89]

Advent Rising for the original Xbox. some don't like it, but for me personally that was my favorite game
