what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?
-
Skyrim is such a weird game. I don't even like it anymore but I hold it in such good regard for just being there at the right time
Kingdoms of Amalur was better and released almost the same time and wasn't a buggy disaster.
-
Metal... Gear... 4?
Lol. I always hallucinate and see an imaginary 4 next to peace walker since it technically should be if they decided to keep the numbering consistent
-
Crab... Battle...
Broke muh knife
-
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.
Final Fantasy VII
Kingdom Hearts II (or BBS depending on the day of the week)
Persona 4 GoldenTo be honest these three could be different any day of the week. I play more than just RPGs but because these are heavily story driven they stick in the front of my mind more when it comes to these questions.

Control, the horizon games and stardew valley.

Didn’t that one come out at the same time as Oblivion? I could be misremembering but I feel like KoA was nicknamed “the poor person’s oblivion” or something like that.

It came out like 3 months after Skyrim, while I was waiting for their patches to fix its game-breaking bugs.

Yeah you’re right, just looked it up. I guess it was called the poor man’s Skyrim then. Funny how memory works (or doesn’t sometimes).

Arma 3, Battlefield 2, minesweeper

Elden Ring, RDR2, and BOTW feels like such a basic bitch gamer list.
We all gotta start somewhere

Minecraft
Borderlands 2
Bioshockhonourable mention for Zelda on N64
but the top 3 are based on replayability and just how easy it is to spend time playing them

In no particular order ( mostly cos i think ranking beyond a certain degree of precision hurts the art involved
- NieR Automata
- NieR Replicant (ver 1.22.. , realistically)
- The Talos Principle ( one of the most suprisingly brilliant games that too many people haven't played)
then i suppose one tier below, not consequent of any particular shortcomings, but rather just not being at the same "transendent" level as the above:
- Crosscode
- Citizen sleeper
- What Remains Of Edith Finch
- Portal & 2
NieR automata literally changed my life, so it kinda deserves it's own top spot, but placed as is in spirit of the question.

Going to have to go with the three that had the biggest impact on me.
1: Doom / Doom 2. In addition to being two of the most influential and important FPS games of all time, they got me into modding, programming, the internet, 3D graphics, shaping my entire future career path.
2: Kerbal space program. No moment in all of gaming had me leap out of my chair and whoop the way landing in the Mun for the first time did. Now that I understand orbital mechanics, I get annoyed at almost all depictions of space flight in movies.
3: Factorio. Got to this one late, on Switch about 6 months ago. I can't think of any game which has rewired my brain as much. As a programmer, I come away from each play through with entire new methods of solving problems at work. May be the single most in depth and addictive game I've ever played.
-
- GTA San Andrays
- Halo 3
- AOE 2
These games are rooted in my childhood and connected to memories of simpler times and good friends. I Still play video games but I don't think I could ever experience the same level of joy and excitement that I got from gaming as I did when I was younger. These days I'd rather just go for a nice walk with my dog like the boring old man that I am.
took too much scrolling to find AOE 2
