Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!
-
I play almost every genre (minimal interest in sports games, admittedly), and my favorite changes all the time. But in general, here are some of my all-time top games:
Final Fantasy Tactics
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (people who think BL2 is better than TPS are wrong)
Spider-Man (PS4)
Hades
Civilization 6
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (people who think BL2 is better than TPS are wrong)
Are you Australian by chance? I have a lot of complaints about TPS, but then after watching some taskmaster Australia I had a theory; I wonder if there is some fundamental difference in preferred pacing that causes those to fall flat for other audiences? In dialog, humor, events, etc.
-
Have you tried A Link Between Worlds yet?
Unfortunately not. Is it only available on the 3DS?

East Coast USA, born and raised and lived in all my life. So no, not Australian.

I'd say that Portal 2 even improved the first one in every aspect.
I dunno. Frankly they're both absolutely pantheon, legendary games that deliver a near-perfect gaming experience, but I feel like Portal 1 delivered a kind of tighter package where Portal 2 meanders just a little bit, and while Wheatley is still brilliant I'm not sure I he hit the same way or struck the same tone as GlaDOS. But we're talking about like nanometers of difference in quality here either way as both games are goddamn stellar.

I feel like my “all-time favorite” changes depending on my mood, but if I had to pick just one, I’d probably go with The Witcher 3. That game just hit all the right notes—amazing story, incredible world-building, and so much stuff to do without feeling like pointless filler. Plus, the expansions were just as good, if not better than the base game.
What about you? Are you more into RPGs, shooters, or something else entirely?
I can't choose an absolute favorite, that's like choosing a favorite child.
It's a toss up between the Mass Effect Trilogy, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher (in partiuclarly 3f th) and (most) of Fallout games (but in Particularly 1 and 2).
If you were to put a gun to my head I'd probably pick either Mass Effect or Cyberpunk 2077.

Minecraft
There are so many things you can do in the game, especially using mods
The mod packs just keep coming and there has been a number of interesting packs since 1.20 was released.
Its got a billion accounts its the most played game in the world ever so its surprising to find it so far down this list.
-
Unfortunately not. Is it only available on the 3DS?
Yeah, unless you emulate it of course. It’s not a direct sequal, but it’s heavily inspired by A Link to the Past

I also have hints here https://youtu.be/T5rBc_T8x2g
Oh you fucking ROCK. I forgot which puzzle we were stuck on, but we’ll boot it back up and check out your hints
I can’t believe I beat this game when I was younger, especially without Internet!

That's a tough one to answer. I have to say league of legends, because it's always our friends fallback game.
But other favorites are:
- Terraria
- Subnautica
- Bravely Default
- Warcraft 3 - mainly the custom maps, we played so much of that
- Slay the spire

The OG X-Com is probably up there as a game that I keep coming back to. Especially after I learned about some of the total conversion mods for it.

Age of Empires II is my all time favorite game. Gears of War 1 - 3 are a close second.
-
I probably can't decide on a single one but if I had to list:
- Operation Flashpoint (a big candidate on best)
- Mafia 1
- Giant: Citizen Kabuto
- Half-Life series
- Portal series
- Dark Souls/Elden Ring
- Age of Empires II (also big candidate on best)
- Mass Effect series
And I'm gonna stop myself here because there's way more which just complicates choice
Giant: Citizen Kabuto
Deep cut. Such a strange game.
I remember playing 3-person multiplayer with no router in that game. A friend had two Ethernet ports but couldn't bridge them, so he'd host and the other two of us would join. Some stuff worked smoothly, but other stuff was super broken.

Sekiro.
Only hard until you start to understand the dance moves. Then it becomes pure nirvana.
After NG+7 I had to stop playing it and give some other games a chance.
I can't beat Genichiro Ashina, but I think I'm going at him too early, but damnit I should still be able to!

Probably Morrowind.
Properly distinct beast races, freedom to fuck up the world, really rewarding exploration, awesome scenery and concepts, great soundtrack, you can free slaves, and Argonians have never looked better overall.
Second place, probably Red Dead Redemption 2. Every single aspect of that game is outstanding. The pacing, the story, the characters, the combat, the exploration, the horse genitals, the music, the graphics, the massive scale of the world.. Just truly a masterpiece of a game, and I think Rockstar will never surpass it.
Honorable mentions for Caves of Qud, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7 (original AND remake/rebirth) and Starflight (mostly played on C64 but Genesis/Megadrive version is far better)

Probably Metroid Prime but some days I think it is Dark Souls 1. Both are similar in terms of trying to embody an adventure with strong environmental storh telling.

He’s one of the first hard tests. You just gotta keep throwing yourself at him until it clicks. I went the other way and did Lady Butterfly which had its own pain. You have to play aggressively. Hesitation is defeat and all of that

+1 on the Max Payne mention...great game!
Came out near the time of my favorite PC game, Unreal Tournament.
As far as arcade games, I'd say maybe **Rygar **or Dragon's Lair...but those are so old (like I am) that I might not be remembering them so well?

With endless replay. Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2. Shout out to Open RCT (sim city 3000 is a close second)
Console favourite- The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening
Sound track - Chrono Trigger
That long play (where you forget what you were doing if you put the game down) - Metroid Fusion/Prime
Pokemon - Emerald or Soul Silver depending on my mood.

This is really hard. Dungeon Master on the Amiga500 is up there, as is Unlimited Adventures. Today, these don't look so interesting, but man they were great at the time. Amiga also had a neat RPG maker as well whose name I can't recall.
Do you remember feary tale?
