Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II
What the hell was it about that game? There was just something addictive. I barely even played it online, but I could just sink hours into it.
Right? I never tried it online for years either, though my friends and I did a lot of local co-op. Even though online is in the name, I actually think the offline is what really makes the game.
Anyway, there was just something beautiful to me about that drop chart. You could hunt specific things with specific characters, and the rates made most of it feel rare but findable.
I don't know how they struck that sweetspot so perfectly. Had all the hook of an mmo while still being grounded and approachable.

for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.
Doom
Crosscode

Ragnarok Online in the early 00s is the only reason I’m alive to post this comment
Diablo II for sure, what an amazing technical achievement in the year 1999
Theeeen probably Earthbound.
Hey fellow RO player.
I quit when my hometown Morroc got obliterated on iRO. I've tried coming back once right after the server mergers, but I don't know what kind of methodology they've used when determining name conflicts, I've lost quite a few character names to what I assume were randoms from other servers banking on taking over the names. Pissed me off way too much. Tried coming back a second time about a year ago, but I was unable to figure out my character account passwords with the warp portal changes and what not.

- Chrono Trigger
- Xenogears
- Vagrant Story
Nier:Automata gets an honorable mention.
Xenogears is an amazing story. I never got into the other games in the series. Do you know if they are worth it?

- Earthbound. I replay it every few years for nostalgia and just a feel good game.
- Xenogears. Hands down one of the best stories for an RPG.
- SOMA. The dark, post apocalyptic world is so gritty, I just love it. The ending really left me speechless.

- Super Mario Bros 3
- GTA 4
I took into account the impact at the time of release as well as the timelessness of the games.

Top 3 is hard. I'll start with the first three that came to mind, in no particular order:
-
Witcher 3
-
Star Control 2
-
Monkey Island 2
But there are so many that I could have listed instead.
The Commander Keen games are amongst the first I remember playing, I loved those and played through them so many times.
Baldurs Gate 3 was such a masterpiece, it probably could bump W3 off that list.
Although, Ultima 7 was the first RPG I played where I became properly immersed in the story. The world, the characters, the way the mystery of the main story unfolds. And it is actually a really good jump-in point for the series as it's set a couple centuries after number 6.
Fallout 1 also could easily make the list. I loved the way such a small and intimate quest for your vault unfolds into something bigger.

XenoSaga is worth it, though it suffers the same fate as Xenogears being rushed at the end. Xenoblade is definitely worth it. None of them cross over but they have the same themes and motifs, plus a little fan service for series old heads.

This is good taste right here.

Going by favourite as "Left the most lasting impression on me" it would have to be:
-
Monster Hunter World
-
Crosscode
-
Outer Wilds
-
-
Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
I don't like it actually but I have over 5k hours in Dota 2.
I really think someone needs to make a modern evolution of Dark Cloud. Maybe the technological limitation was actually a benefit though, because a modern game would probably try to do open world, full 3d construction, and things like that. The technology at the time required that they keep it fairly simple but also really well designed.

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and Rogue. Skyrim. Dishonored. Bioshock. NFS MW (2012). The Pentiment. These are in no particular order.

Unfortunately it's a thing when going back to older games after being living in the map marker era for so long. This is a big part of why games back then came with annotated maps so you'd at least have a reference for all the locations.
I'd say at the minimum, don't be afraid to pull up maps and take notes.
after being living in the map marker era for so long.
Jeez, this is totally it!
Thanks for putting it in simpler words for me
Definitely gonna check in taking notes.

You're not the only one. I've beaten The 7th Saga more times than Chrono Trigger lol.
I didn't know about this game, but honestly it is so good that others experience the same as I, of course I don't think that I am the only one in the world that Chrono Trigger is not for him (not even sure about this myself), but definitely is so scarce to read comments of people struggling with the title compared with praises for it gets!

There was a petition for a Dark Cloud 3 a while back, apparently the creators were hip to the idea.
