if you could erase ONE game from your memory to play it for the first time again...

[Morsomk_v1legacy]

Hmm......The only recent game that I would pick would have to be Xenoblade Chronicles. Jesus feckin' Christ had it been so long when I played a good JRPG before Xenoblade. I actually think that if I waited more then the game would just have been a lot better for me.

Another magnificent choice would have either been the Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask, but that also brings up the question. Would it be as magnificent for me right now as it was 12 years ago?

Fallout 2, its just not the same when you know where exactly you need to go to find great weapons and armor. The first (well several) playthroughs you felt like a scavenger in an unforgiving wasteland where your death could come at any moment.

It was probably the only game I have ever played where you don't immediately leap in to help someone in distress, because theres a good chance you'll just get yourself killed. For example you could encounter slavers capturing a group of innocent people. Instead of leaping to their defense and slaying all evil doers because your the hero, you simply flee so you don't get captured or killed yourself.

Dark souls . That game was so deliciously frustrating . I would do anything to be able to play that game again as if it was my first time . The hours of difficulty whilst not knowing what i was doing was great .

i agree with this 1000%. the first time i laid eyes on the stray demon in the beginning, i said to myself, "is it going to have this kind of scale the whole time?". i was right. one of the best part of dark souls is that its story is designed so that you can talk about it, as there is no spoilers (the game barely has a noticeable story, takes a lot of digging to find it). im currently fighting gwyn (playthrough 1), anyone have any tips? message me or reply in this thread!

I think i'd have to pick Deus Ex.

The obvious answer is Persona 4.

I would give anything to hear that iconic battle tune for the first time again.


And to re-experience all the feels that the game gave me.

This has nothing to do with the thread, but I see that you're new here and I would like to say... *clears throat*

Welcome to The Escapist, friend! I also wanted to say that I love dat Game Grump "Zigzagoon Used Growl" avatar you got there.

 

[woodsymoments]

Elder Scrolls III Morrowind without a doubt the greatest game ever and i would love to exprience playing it for my first time again.

FFVII I didn't really like it because I played it rather recently. I knew every plot point before it was coming. If i experienced it blind I most certainly would have enjoyed it more.

Spec Ops: The Line. I went into the game sort of expecting it to deliver the punch that it does, but if I could erase it from my memory, I could experience it to its fullest impact.

Going to go with Muv Luv Alternative to enjoy the thrill of not knowing what was going to happen

 

[thenile]

FF7/BOF4 were the first RPGs I played...great memories. There are a lotta close games tho.

 

[Anthony Wells]

The walking dead. Absolutely would erase it form my mind to experience all the emotion i had while watching it (a friend played it while i watched.) Red Dead Redemption and borderlands 2 would be 2 others i would happily replay without remembering.

Ohh thanks for that.

Yeah, I probably didn't give a proper answer did I?
But the thing is, if you pick one game and for some people that would be their favorite game they played ages ago, you cannot deny that the experience will be different. The original poster did not mention if you could experience the same experience(lolwut?) that you experienced(ok this is getting silly) back when you first played that game.

What I sort of presumed was the fact that we would be playing this particular game right now, with all of the knowledge of other/similar games that would affect our judgement of the particular game, it would undoubtedly make a lot of difference for some people.
Xenoblade and the two Zelda game that I gave as answer were given because I presumed that this was the question he was asking us.

 

[Terramax]

Grim Fandango. It frustrates me that no-one before has mentioned this game.

 

[Mikeyfell]

Mass Effect 3 and then never play it in the first place, Ah a return to the halcyon days of not knowing how much Bioware sucked at everything..

 

[Astoria]

Fallout 3, I love the capital wasteland but it's no longer enjoyable once you've done everything there is to do. It blew me away when I first played it (was my first RPG)and I'd love to have that again.

Grim Fandango. It frustrates me that no-one before has mentioned this game.

You are wrong, CTRL+F it. It frustrates me that you don't Ctrl+F.

OK then, it frustrates me not enough people mentioned it.

 

[Robot Number V]

Definitely Bioshock. I went into it for the first having already read a pretty good summary of Rapture's history in an article several years beforehand. I'd love the chance to play it with absolutely no knowledge of what the game is about.

 

[waj9876]

Steambot Chronicles. My favorite game of all time. I would give almost anything to replay the game for the first time again.

What? No, no, you're post was just fine. You gave valid reasoning on why you would like to go back and replay Xenoblade and Majora's Mask. That's all well and good.

I probably wasn't being clear enough when I said, "This has nothing to do with the thread-". What I should have said is, "My quote on your opinion has nothing to do with this thread and it's contents."

Misunderstanding out of the way, I actually just wanted to say welcome to our humble corner of the interwebz. That's all.
