What's your favorite video game of all time?

[jdavies655]

I would be divided by Assassins Creed 2 and Jurassic Park operation Genesis.
AC@ because it was this game that got me hooked on the franchise and is just all round a good game and JP because that game was my childhood, i recently started replaying it and it's as fun as i remember.

Persona 4 Golden (PS VITA) is my favorite game of all time , no J-rpg yet got even close to it.

I think Super Metroid is mine. I'm not sure it was the most exciting game I've played or the longest I spent my time on, but I choose it because of it's amazing design, many many secrets and subtle hints throughout the entire game, including every thing else is great as well.

It's introduction with the quick briefing, epic theme and tutorial was breath taking, I had to play it again. Then after that you are left in the middle of nowhere with a million mystery's you have to solve. There is no story shoved in your face because it's about the challenges, challenges that require a bit of thinking and skill to push on. And the unique atmosphere, which is what I think sucked me in to the point that I wagged 3 days of school in a row (no regrets), always gives you the chilling feeling of danger all around and loneliness. Also, every time you get a new item it really feels like a big reward. All the bosses are fun since they make you have to move around a lot.

Yeah, just everything about it is special.

It's incredibly difficult to narrow down to a single game, I have many I frequently find myself going back to, in no particular order:

Legend of Mana
Super Mario RPG
Earthbound
Dragon Quest VIII
Final Fantasy XII
Skyrim
Minecraft


I have tons of others I really enjoy, but those are the ones I keep being drawn back into at least once a year.

Can't be done!
Seriously I have trouble listing a top twenty
It's the same with music

but my man Grey has picked one of my finest gaming moments

Mass Effect 2:

When I first got to the suicide mission, I was really psyched up for it. The music, the direction, the execution, all of it left me on edge with adrenaline pumping, and an early mistake about what classified as a techie(I was still thinking in ME1 terms and thought Mordin was the engineer class...) left me terrified that even the slightest misstep could cause me to lose another beloved character. It will forever, in my mind, be the greatest hour in gaming history.

Tru dat!

The suicide mission is among some of the best gaming "levels" I've ever played. It just feels so climactic, and I actually felt like there was actual danger around me. Mass Effect 2 is a freakin' great game.

Is golden only on PSV?

 

[SKBPinkie]

Kingdom of Paradise for the PSP.

It's everything I love about JRPGs (good, cheesy, good guys win story, fantastic music, excellent setting and art style, interesting characters, etc) without the stuff I don't like about JRPGs (specifically the fact that this game has action-RPG combat, instead of turn based).

 

[windlenot]

#1, for reasons of pure time put into it and always being able to go back to it and enjoy it: Rock Band 3. Although, really, it's just the collection of Rock Band as a whole and I have songs from each of the games, I can always fall back on enjoying some simple, solid rhythm gaming.

Aaaand, to round out my top 10, where the parenthesis denotes the platform I played it on...

2. Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (PS2)
3. Kirby Superstar (SNES)
4. Minecraft (PC/360)
5. Portal (PS3/360)
6. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PS3/360)
7. Bioshock (PS3/360)
8. Pokémon Silver (GBC)
9. Borderlands (PS3/360)
10. Left 4 Dead (360/PC)

Is golden only on PSV?

Yep only Vita, it's basically expanded version of Persona 4. New events, new character , expanded ending and of course visual and gameplay improvements there too.

 

[CannibalCorpses]

I've said it before and i'm sure i'll say it again...Rockman for the vic 20...best game i ever played! 29 years on and it still looks like fun

No relation to Mega man, huh?

Spoiler

Mega Man's name in Japan is Rockman.

By sheer numbers of hours I've put into a game the most? Fallout 3. But I actually liked Morrowind more. I'd like to say old hand Final Fantasy Tactics, but it wasn't as in depth as Fallout or Morrowind.

So:

Hours Played: Fallout 3
Most Entertaining: Morrowind

Excellent choices! Can't go wrong with two Bethesda classics.

 

[AdrianCeltigar]

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

It would take too long to explain why so I won't bother. I loved Oblivion and Skyrim too, but Morrowind takes the cake. I can't wait for Skywind to be completed.

Honourary mentions go to "Valkyrie Profile II: Silmeria" and the Fire Emblem series.

Honestly I'd pick a different game for almost every category one could think of, along with all the categories one wouldn't think of.

 

[shemoanscazrex3]

Metal Gear Solid for PSX. No other game have I ever played to completion so many times as this one. I've more than likely played better games but something about MGS just does it for me

 

[Ghostface2206]

I haven't really got one game that I value above all else, rather, a bunch of games that I rank above all else:

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the memories of playing this game with my little brother are some of the best)
Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 (simply outstanding and breathtaking, the greatest Mario games ever in my opinion)
Sonic 3 & Knuckles (the two best Sonic games of all, the series has never managed to better this instalment)
Lylat Wars (Exciting space shooting action will never stop being awesome, like this game!)
Portal (it might be short, but for what you get it really is the perfect length to me)
Pokemon Platinum (It's hard to explain, but to me this is simply the perfect Pokemon game)
Batman Arkham City (again, it's short, but I just love me some Batman and this is one of the best superhero games ever (alongside Spider-Man 2))
Skyrim (I've only ever played Oblivion and this, and I find this one to be much easier to get in to)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword (JUST PICK ONE OF THOSE, I CAN'T DECIDE!)
Mario Kart DS (Only here because it's the fist MK I ever played, but the series just keeps improving with each game)
WarioWare: Minigame Mania (The funniest game ever, I've invested hours into it, WW:Touched is a good sequel though)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (I know of all the complaints that competitive Smash players have, but no other game is such a celebration of Nintendo and it's still a very well made and fun game with countless amounts of unlockable content)
The Simpsons Hit and Run (this has so much thought and effort put into it, one of my favourite childhood games)
No particular order by the way.

The game that I consider to be the greatest ever made, Super Mario Bros., is not one of my favourite games ever, there is a difference.

 

[GeneralOvertime]

For me its Mount and Blade Warband with the Clash of Kings mod or normal game play. Its an awesome pc title

 

[Someone Depressing]

Sweet Home.

It did survival horror before Resident Evil... infact, Resident Evil started out as a remake of this game. Think about it.

Sweet Home: A naive team of investigators go into a supposedly abandoned mansion to learn more about it, and end up being trapped by supernatural forces, and piece the backstory together through hidden frescos of a late artist.

Resident Evil: A naive team of soldiers go into a supposedly abandoned mansion to avoid wild dogs, while also investigating the surrounding area, and end up being trapped within and learn about its backstory through notes, exploration, and survival.

Except Sweet Home didn't control like shit.
