[RedDeadFred]

I'll just list my top ten of all time seeing as the vast majority of the games on it come from this past generation:
1. Skyrim
2. Mass Effect Series
(Often changes after this point on a day to day basis but those two are for sure slotted in at the top two spots)
3. Borderlands 2
4. Windwaker
5. Fallout 3
6. Bastion
7. Dishonored
8. Shining Force
9. LoL
10.Minecraft

[Sleepy Sol]

All Time:
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Persona 4 (Vanilla)
Megaman X

Final Fantasy IV

This gen:
every fighting game released this gen ever

more seriously:
King of Fighters XIII
Persona 4 Arena
Dark Souls
Guild Wars 2
Phantasy Star Online 2 (hooray niche obscure MMOs)

I have a feeling there are a number of games that just escape my mind that I would put on these lists, but eh. This ain't bad.

 

[scorptatious]

All time:

Shadow of the Colossus
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Final Fantasy IX
Fallout: New Vegas
Valkyria Chronicles

This gen:

Fallout: New Vegas
Valkyria Chronicles
Xenoblade Chronicles
Team Fortress 2 (Although I haven't played in a while)
Dark Souls

Kinda difficult thinking up this list. My tastes tend to change a lot, so perhaps in a few years time, some of these games might not be on my favorites list anymore. Plus there are a ton of other games I really like as well, but that would be too many to list and remember.

3.Dark Souls
4.Ghost Trickhantom Detective

8.Persona 3
9.Persona 4
10.Devil May Cry 3
11.Ace Attorney: Pheonix Wright
12.Battlefield:Bad Company 1
13.Battlefield:Bad Company 2
14.Persona 4
15.Metal Gear Solideace Walker
16.GTA Liberty City Stories.

I feel like I'm missing something...
Did I mention Persona 4?

 

[DrunkOnEstus]

Snip

Is the vanilla Persona $ really preferred? I'm just now finishing 3, and if I don't really need to keep my Vita just for golden that would be wonderful.

Everyone: Thank you so much for tossing in your games. The numbers are a bit all over the place so I'm waiting until another page or so to give a real tentative list. I'm actually excited to see what we as a community love the most.

[Morsomk_v1legacy]

In no particular order

All Time.

LoZ: Majoras Mask: The fact that people are still doing playthroughs, theorycrafting, remixing the music and pretty much everything else from this game(also wicked time was had playing this game) makes it one of my favorite games.

World of Warcraft: I am not going to spout any nonsense about expansion ruining the game or anything like that. Because no matter any changes that I've not liked, it will not change my opinion that World of Warcraft was a unique experience for me and an awesome journey that I had from playing the game with friends I made from this game. This game holds a special place in my heart for doing that.

Pokemon Ruby: I was already a fan of the series before this game came out. I already knew about most of the pokemons from the cartoon and the movies before I played Gen 1 and 2. I had absolutely no idea that gen 3 existed before I saw a copy of this game on a shelf during cristmas. I knew nothing about the game, but I already knew that I was going to have a blast before playing this game. And I loved how the artstyle of the pokemons were different from the previous games. For me, this game marks a point in my life that I will never forget.

Xenoblade Chronicles: I had to wait 6 long, painful years for a console jrpg. The Jrpg lover inside me screamed and wailed from hunger. This game satisfied the lover inside me and ended the pain.

Unknown fifth game: I honestly can not choose a fifth game. Lets just say that I am waiting for it.

This Gen:

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2

Bastion

Pokemon Gen 4 and 5

Monster Hunter Tri

Darksiders 2
