What's your favourite game of all time??

[darkfox85]

Posting in a thread like this feels like shouting a song request at a ?that-totally-awesome-and-loved-by-everyone-without-exception-band? concert. But, who knows?

1st] Fallout 3 [GOTY]
2nd] Perfect Dark
3rd] Metal Gear Solid

I?m glad so many people mentioned Fallout 3. I was under the impression it was generally regarded as sort of ?meh.?

 

[Formica Archonis]

Doom. No question in my mind. Doom.

I only have 2 so far:

Crash Bandicoot: Warped.Probably the very first game in my gaming life that I bothered to finish completely. And I still do play it if I am bored. Besides, who doesn't love a Woompa Bazooka!!!? This game had gone on character progression unlike any other platformer at its time, granting abilities as bosses were crushed. Oh and the fact that the game was a stress reliever as if you saw Crash die you would grinned instead of cringe.

Tekken Tag Tournament: Probably the pinnacle of the series. I've played this since it was in the arcades and got it for my PS2, AND CONTINUED ON PLAYING FAR AFTER THE GAME IS CONSIDERED OBSOLETE. Very fun, very intuitive for its time and very memorable to this day. Hyped for its sequel.

 

[Dead Seerius]

Based on the consoles I own.
PS2 - Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal and Jak 2 were great. Never got around to playing Shadow of the Colossus though.
Wii - Skyward Sword
Xbox 360 - The ENTIRE Assassin's Creed franchise and The Orange Box (that might be cheating but between Portal and Half Life... how can you pick?)

 

[Number-14]

Almost everything I have played over my years are my favorite, that includes Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Infamous, Prototype, Ratchet and Clank series, Sly Raccoon series, Kingdom hearts, Skyrim, Portal and the list goes on.

I don't believe in having favourites. It's more effective to point out specific elements and contexts I like.

Well, uh, what's your favourite...RGP (Western or JRPG)?

To be frank, neither JRPG's or WRPG's has really been my thing. I have played some games with RPG elements though (most notably 'Ratchet & Clank 3' and 'Bioshock'). The thing is that I don't enjoy role-playing, but I do adore upgrade systems.

I like games the are straight-forward and to-the-point, while still giving room for exploration. So I prefer open-ended games with a linear directive (Minecraft being an exception for including elements of user creation).

 

[Raika]

My favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy X-2. A close second would be Nier, which has now spent two years with the title of "best story in the history of video games as a medium".

 

[Olas]

Metroid Prime will always be my favorite.

Also, an honorable mention goes to Yoshi's Island which features the most epic final boss ever.

 

[jegthaug]

for me its between system shock 2 and red alert 2

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

If I really had to choose ONLY 1, I guess it would have to be Mafia: The city of Lost Heaven.

 

[octafish]

Right at this moment?

Sid Meier's Pirates! on the C=64 for superior music

Jagged Alliance 2 (surprise, surprise <======)

and

Planescape: Torment.

My favorite recent game is Battlefield 3, sure it isn't BF2 or BF2142, but I still can't get enough, especially Back to Karkand. Over 100 hours in and I still haven't played beyond the rat in the campaign...and I never will.

Dragon age: Origins

Everything about this game was fucking brilliant for me. I couldn't find a single flaw.

Least favourite: Dragon age 2

Why?!? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU BIOWARE?!?

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Hmm... I'm definitely putting Star Wars: Battlefront on there ... other then that:
- Mass Effect: the entire series, just all around fantastic!
- Bioshock: first one, amazing! The twist was something I never expected at all!
- New Vegas: Like Fallout 3... but better!
- Pokemon Sapphire: My all-time fave Pokemon generation

Special Mention- Katawa Shoujo: I've never played a game that made me feel quite like I did playing KS... The game characters will always hold a special place in my heart!

 

[Jaeke]

Red Dead Remption. A great story, a fantastic ending and two of the best Video Game characters ever - John Marston and Dutch. It may be Grand Theft Western but that's what makes it so great.
"Our Time Has Passed John."

This basicly sums up its immortal greatness.

 

[Generalissimo]

timesplitters 3: man that game had everything, a great story, charectors and humour

starwars battlefront 2: i love this game, one of the best third person shooters ever

command and conquer: tiberian sun: i could sink hours into this game, a very enjoyable and addictive RTS.

 

[Indecipherable]

Dragon age: Origins

I respect your opinion and I know the game is popular but if I could point out a few flaws....

-horrible armour
-horrible animations
-horrible combat system for anything that isn't a mage (auto attack)
-horrible imbalance for anything that isnt' a mage (not just boring, also weak)
-ultra-generic-cookie-cutter storyline and world. Elves Dwarves and Humans can't get any more generic if you tried.
-mediocre storyline (unite x people, go save the world)

I liked building a group and it gave me hope of a return to the good old days of D&D RPGs, but jesus it fell fucking flat.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

So, Escapist, what is your favourite game(s)? Why?

To kick it off, mine would be a threesome between
[li]Red Dead Redemption [/li]
[li] Fallout 3 [/li]
[li] Metal Gear Solid 3 [/li]

Well your 3 are in my top ten list, anyway!

Everyone thinks different things. While i personally disagree with all of your points, i will defend to the death your right to state them.

But you know what I'm happy about? You didn't hurl insults, you didn't hold a sense of superiority, you simply took my opinion into account and provided yours. Because we all like video games, so let's like video games together.
