Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Omni - 10-16-2015
Warcraft 3. I love this game's story, I love its units, I love its graphics, I love its online play and I love all the custom maps that spawned out of it. It's easily my favourite PC game of all time.
The Legend of Zelda series. I love this entire series but there are a few standouts. Skyward Sword, Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Spirit Tracks, Minish Cap, Oracles.
Metroid fusion, other M, and the prime series, 3-1-2. In order of favouritism. Fusion got me into the series. Its sparing use of dialogue in concert with a pervasive sense of tension and dread made me instantly hungry for more. I don't care what anyone says about other M; it's a fantastic game, with my favourite combat of the entire Metroid series. I'm extremely disappointed that it was taken so badly and I would love a sequel. It's combat is followed closely by Metroid prime three, which introduces the hyper mode mechanic, a risk-reward mechanic that feels epic. Due to the Wii controls it has the most feel of being in Samus's suit. Flicking the nun chuck to fire the grapple beam felt so good! When I was about to die in combat, I was jumping around in my seat like I was there. I still think the feeling of being on a vast, empty, abandoned world is best handled by the first prime, whose musical direction is genius, but they are all fantastic games that do their own thing and don't try to imitate each other.
Paper Mario and its sequel. I've played the N64 game so many times and I love it each and every time. Actually, I try to take inspiration from a lot of it in terms of the gameplay elements, like how major upgrades feel rather than tiny upgrades you don't feel. It feels chunky, good. In the in between platforming and puzzle elements are simply fun. It's simple and I don't know why they changed the formula so much after the second game. It's a shame because it feels like they got it right the first time.
Left 4 Dead 1/2. I played this hard-core want first came out, and I should specify that I play the versus mode almost exclusively. It was my answer to Warcraft 3 custom maps after its multiplayer scene and all those brilliantly asymmetric games died out. This something so fun about coordinating a good attack, or becoming the tank, those dramatic moments are executed so well and with enough variation from game to game that it doesn't get boring.
XCOM. This game has so many flaws but there's a reason I've sunk so many hours into it.
Viewtiful Joe. My favourite platinum game. I spent a looong time on it.
Hyrule Warriors. Something about getting to finally play Zelda and Ganondorf, and killing thousands of enemies, is so addictive. It's the level up parts.
Warframe. I love superhero games with a lot of parkour and movement, and this combines the genre with weapon upgrades and collecting and all kinds of crazy space powers. It then combines it with online play that is pretty much perfect. You don't have to wait to get into games, finding groups is almost instantaneous a lot of the time. The missions are short enough that if you've only got literally five minutes to play a game, you can fit one in before work. There's a reason it's become my most played game in 2015.
Smash Bros. It's my favourite fighting game. It's the only fighting game I love. I love it.
Monster Hunter three ultimate. A game which is entirely extended boss battles where the monsters have behaviour and which you have to chase across the map? It's like Shadow of the Colossus in some ways but focusing the gameplay into repeatable, farmable goodness with a greater emphasis on combat and developing your weapons, of which there is a great choice. I sunk a lot of time into this game and it was a huge shame that my RSI happened just before the fourth came out, after several years of waiting!
Rune factory three. I like farming. I like swords. I like magic. I like phoenix girls. This game has all those things and I would do them forever if not for the repetitive dialogue.
Resident evil four. This game got me into the resident evil series and while other people hate the direction the games took after this point, I really loved it. The fourth game retains enough scariness and creepiness, which the fifth and sixth kind of lose. It's a good blend of shooting and horror.
Dark souls. I hated this game when I first played it and had a huge grudge against for a long time. That's because there's no way to respec, and I came in not knowing what to do. I completely fucked up my stats. I was also heading in the wrong place, without which I probably could have continued anyway. Later, after getting just a little bit of guidance on the best way to proceed through the game courtesy of SBF's blood-borne play through, I revisited it and fell in love with it. The terrifying sense of scale had stuck with me the first time and I still had nightmares about what that damn hydra. I came back and I conquered it. Through blood, sweat and tears. I went through the wrong area in the wrong order and completed it anyway. I stuck with it because I would not let the game beat me. And I was rewarded with some of the weirdest, most evocative artwork I've ever experienced in a game.
Dark Souls 2. Great for a different reason. I feel like the online is more streamlined and integrated. However it lacks so much from the first game that I'm really ranking it on the gameplay improvements, some of which actually end up detracting from the difficulty of game. Still, it's great and still worth sinking a few hundred hours into.
Portal one and two. If you don't know why these games are brilliant you need to play them.
Pokémon. Its charm wore off with later renditions of exactly the same game, but nobody can deny how good Pokémon was when they first played it, with silver and gold first came out. I lasted up to the Ruby generation personally, and after that I lost enthusiasm. I've played the later games but not managed to complete any of them, which is simply a result of the novelty being completely gone.
Dragon age series. I haven't completed inquisition yet. Origins was really the best, because you actually got to pick your own origin.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Dawnika Snow - 10-16-2015
Skyrim, mainly because Skyrim really got me really into rpg games.
Dragon Age: Origins, I loved the story Dragon Age although some concepts were hard for me to understand.
Guitar Hero, I love music and video games. Why not put them together and double the fun? I've been playing guitar hero for nearly 11-13 years.
Borderlands 2, its such a comical game and can be challenging, even for a veteran player.
Final Fantasy 13: 1-3, The story was amazing. Invested 200 hours in the game and there's still things I could learn how to do better.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops, this is my competitive game. It's not much of a challenge these days but multi-player is still fun for me.
Games Im looking forward to:
Destiny (With all the DLC) from what I've seen of the game and heard about it, Destiny sounds like its at least worth a playthrough.
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - King Axorn - 10-16-2015
Destiny for me, is just awesome! I stopped playing it though because I was too addicted
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Darth Vader - 10-23-2015
Crusader Kings 2
Mount and Blade: Warband
Smash Bros.
The Halo series (if I had to pick one game from the franchise as an all time favourite? I'm at a tie between Halo: Reach and Halo 4)
Left 4 Dead 1 and 2
Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Any Telltale game ever
Minecraft
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Belle - 11-02-2015
- Borderlands 2 (PC): What do you get when you take the wonderful loot of Borderlands, improve it, and put it in a game with good story? Borderlands 2!
- Mass Effect series (if I have to choose a favorite, 3) (PC): Ending notwithstanding, this series was a helluva ride. 3 takes my top spot as favorite because it kept me entertained WAY after the story with its multiplayer. It's actually probably up there for my favorite multiplayer of all time, definitely the best Horde mode game I've ever played.
- Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Subsistence) (Playstation 2): Good game. Good story. A real gutpunch ending. Everything good about Kojima's approach to games is represented here.
- Super Smash Bros. Melee (Gamecube): I can't begin to estimate the number of hours I lost to this game, first with friends in high school, then college. I still sometimes wistfully reminisce about it.
- Secret of Mana (SNES): My first RPG, and one of the first (maybe the first?) co-op games I ever played. It's one of my favorite games on the SNES.
- Final Fantasy 7 (Playstation): This game CONSUMED me. I remember my entire Christmas vacation in 1997 being spent in front of the TV, playing through the game. I cried! A fucking game made me cry! Admittedly I was just a baby, only 13 years old, but still. It has a fond place in my heart.
- Shadow of the Colossus (Playstation 2): Fucking amazing game. This was my first exposure to Team Ico, and I was floored. All bosses, a compelling story filled with dread, told wordlessly.
- Kerbal Space Program (PC): I currently have 909 hours played on this game in my Steam library. A truly amazing sandbox, one that gets even better because the devs deliberately made it easy to mod the game. There dozens of great part packs out there that deepen, not cheapen, the game, mods that change entire systems, like making the aerodynamics more realistic, adding resource management, build times, needs (water, air, food), etc. Every time I come back to the game there's something new, and I end up losing like 50+ hours to it. Challenging and fun, and you actually learn something about orbital mechanics!
- Hitman: Blood Money (PC): One of the better stealth games of the 'modern' era. I immensely enjoyed sneaking around like a ghost and getting people killed without ever being noticed.
- Thief 2: The Metal Age (PC): The pinnacle of the sneaking genre in 2000, and still a top contender. I couldn't get enough of this game, and played through it over and over and over. The thing about Thief 2 is that it did non-linear paths probably better than any sneaking game since. Levels were HUGE, you'd never see the whole thing on the first play through.
- DARK SOULS/BLOODBORNE (multiple platforms): "Fuck shit fuck fuck goddamn fuck OH COME ON THAT'S BULLSHIT argh try again fuck shit fuck fuck fuck YES NO FUCK NO YES AAAAAAH."
- Undertale (PC): It made me feel things. I love it. Goofy humor, an amazing score, fun mechanics, and great cast. If you haven't played it, you probably should, and avoid spoilers.
- Freespace 2 (PC): If any game even comes close to emulating the feel of this game I'll be goddamned happy. FS2's blend of arcadey space shooty with its unfolding storyline takes the cake for space sims for me. There are so many cool moments from this game that are burned into my mind. ("DIVE DIVE DIVE, HIT YOUR BURNERS, PILOT!!!")
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Blackfire - 11-04-2015
The majority of my favs are Nintendo games. I didn't plan it that way. It's just the way it is.
Sonic the Hedgehog "SEGAAAA!" Oh gosh, the nostalgia makes me want to cry.
Super Mario Bros 3
Golden Eye - quite possibly the great game even made IMO
Super Mario Kart
Pokemon Blue
Pokemon Gold
Pro Evolution Soccer 6
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - Raiden ftw!
Grand Theft Auto III
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Blackfire - 11-04-2015
Minato Namikaze Wrote:The Dynasty Warriors Series ( Dynasty Warriors 3 in particular)
Those games get honourable mentions. No doubt about that.
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Rubick - 11-06-2015
Age of Mythology. Most guys played AOE I or II, but I played this first (surprisingly enough, i got my copy from a book sale at an elementary school. Don't ask me how the hell it got there being rated T). It really helped me get better at other RTS games, and was a heck of a lot of fun. The campaign especially was really imaginative.
Borderlands 2. As a lot of people have already been saying, it's such a badass game
Mario Kart 64. Was my first racer ever.
Dota 2. Obvious reasons.
Team Fortress 2. A lot of people can say that this game gets really bland after a while but the amount of mod support means there's really no place you can't go with this game. Offers a lot of flexibility, zany atmosphere...tbh I'd say this is a great first FPS for anyone.
Civilization Series. Civilization III was my first, and by god i loved it. This is undoubtedly my favorite strategy game series ever. Beyond Earth kind of let me down tho...hopefully the expansion's a bit better when i get around to buying it.
Sid Meier's Pirates. Made from the same guys who made Civ. Essentially you go around being a pirate. Who doesn't want to be a pirate?
Garry's Mod. For those days when you just want to do whatever.
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Blue Eyes - 11-08-2015
Hello. I do hope you do not mind my joining.
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne: PS2 and available on PSN. A game about the end and beginning of the world. Demons of mythology, lore, and religion team up by your side to traverse a land where even the places you should be safe could be the place to put your grave. A little bit of hand holding this SMT series game was able to be brutal as soon as it let go of your hand after the first boss. Needless to say you had no packed up lunches nor pats on the head to tell you "Good Job" for failing.
Diablo II and Diablo III: PC, Playstation, and I believe XBox? I don't know much about XBox but do know that Diablo has been a favorite of mine since the original. But Diablo II Made the series something worth following till the end of days and Diablo III was-....IMO Not quiet as well made for what generation it was released for compared to the Diablo II but what's to be expected? Most games now of days give you a kiddy leash and pull you away from traffic so Diablo III kind of felt to have adapted that a bit by force where Diablo II took a nine iron to smash upside your head after you got hit by a truck. BAD TIMMY! You could of dented that vehicle...
Okami: PS2 and PS3 in HD Remake. Needless to say this game was one of those games too hyped up for my opinion. "A Beautiful Art!" "Glorious!" Whatever. It was a game that took a lot of lore, blended it into a full length game and I thought it was pretty darn great. I won't pretend that it was the untouched treasures that needed to be shown to the world but hey. It is one worth a go even if it's not your normal genre.
Trapt and Deception: Playstation that I know of. Holy Crap. Can I just say that? Run around like a little fairy not wanting to be jammed into a bottle only to throw someone into a blender. WORTH IT! A new game play style worth a shot or two of tequila with an!.....Okay story....But the point is I loved it's gameplay, the trap systems, etc.
Black and White/Black and White 2: PC that I know of. It's a god game. But it's not just a "THOU SHALL BUILD THY TEMPALZ!" and rather it was "Okay. See my pet doggy? It's the size of the mountain you are currently mining from. Keep me and him pleased or he's going to have extra meat in his kibble n' bits." It was one of those games that actually proved so interested if not for the fact that it was something that offered a new gameplay that wasn't honestly seen by a lot of things. Needless to say you could be good and/or evil. And needless to say I was the one that chose any reason possible to add to Mr. Fluffilopikus' dinner bowl.
Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor I, and II. Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey. Shin Megami Tensei IV: A series of games here that I actually adored. IV played more like Nocturne, Strange Journey played more like a DnD Dungeon Crawler, and Devil Survivor I and II played more like a multiple choice pick your destiny sort of game. All of these games were hand held for the DS or 3DS and they were games I play the ever living patooky out of when I'm on the road, off the road, out of the house, and sometimes at home. All in all? Groovy Man...Groovy...
Monster Hunter III and IV: Seriously. You're a guy. You stab dinosaurs in the face for a living and use it's teeth to make sharper knives. Nuff said. This is also one of those games that I Can Not Get Enough Of and further it's one of those games that I keep going back to even when I say "Okay. I'm wearing another groove into the pre-existing grooves. I should put this down now."
Skyrim: No Introduction Needed. Seriously, at this point I'm surprised that newborn children's first words are not Fus Roh Dah.
Hero Tower: Phone App Idle Game. Nothing special honestly. Hire heroes, upgrade em, let them climb a tower, die, and make you more money. About a thousand floors or more, lasts forever, not worth playing with the intent of focusing on it but letting it run for a bit just for the laughs never hurt me. Might hurt others though.
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Thaal Sinestro - 11-09-2015
I somehow forgot Zeonic Front, one of my all-time favorites! So so good
Re: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Stephan Donnel - 11-09-2015
Sins of a Solar Empire - Hey, it is a Space RTS where you get to build a fleet of 700 small ships that are supported with ~10 dreadnoughts and one titanic motherfucker and lose all this in one major battle. Also, it allows for actually practical economic warfare.
Guns of Icarus Online - because steampunk.
Warframe - honorary mention earned by having 1k played hours on steam...
Darkest Dungeon - it would be here, if the devs weren't severly fucking up pretty much everything in the late updates, althou a positive trend is seen in the last one.
Titan Quest+Grim Dawn - two extremely similar games from one developer, go check them out, this is Diablo 3 we wanted.
EYE: Divine Cybermancy - Because I gained bronzouf and my legs are OK.

VIDEO GAMES.
I wanted to bump this thread, because it's been 2 years, which means the community has had at least an 85% turnover rate.
So for all our post 2015 members, what are your favorite games? Why?
RE: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Kelly MacAryn - 12-06-2017
Godhand: Hyperkinetic game-play, tons of weird humor, a truly kick-ass soundtrack, customizable fighting-sytles and a difficulty curve reminiscent of running face-first into a brick wall put it at the very pinnacle of the beat-'em-up genre. It's pretty retro at this point, but what's not to like?
Dragon Quest/Warrior 6: Even more retro, but tied with FFVI and Chrono Trigger for possibly best JRPG of the SNES era. Huge skill-tree, hidden bosses , hidden character-classes, and a pretty unique story as well. I played the hell out of this game. (It's predecessor, DQV, should get an honorable mention here as well. I just generally love that series, and the mid-late 90s when when it shone brightest).
Baldur's Gate I, II, and the expansions for both: Western real-time tactical combat RPG with endearing characters, tons of lore, hidden quests under practically every stone, an enormous spell list, and delicious delicious plot. Like, all of the plot. Yes, all the games I like are super-freakin' old.
Darks Souls I and III: Except these. Yes, the difficulty is appealing. Yes, I deeply enjoy ferreting out the lore, the story, the hidden implications. Yes, I positively adore the immaculately realized faded glory of a world where something important was broken, and a place that was once a home of heroes and gods, epic in scope, has been spiraling towards a final darkness for time immemorial.
But what I really love is some of the bullshit you can get up to. There was one time a fellow with a dexterity build invaded my instance while I was strolling around with a +5 black-knight ultragreatsword and black iron armor. Fortunately, I was near a free-standing staircase in a ruined tower at the time, so I just went on up, and he followed me to the top. I could see the moment when he realized he was on crooked staircase eight stories up, wide enough for one character, facing a guy with four times his reach. I swung once, he tried to dodge, and he rolled right off the edge and plunged to his death.
Good times.
Edit:
FALLOUT: I almost forgot fallout, and I would have had to do a truly vile penance of some sort if I didn't mention those games.
I didn't really like IV that much. But everything prior to that? Alternate-history 50's zeerust post-apocalypse scenario writ in-depth, Lore-heavy, sinister, larger than life and a little ridiculous? That's like my own personal drugs.
Also, Command & Conquer: both The Tiberian Dawn/Sun/Twilight series and Red Alert. These were the first RTS's to make me feel like a genuine badass, and the satisfaction of firing off a well-timed superweapon strike resonates to this day.
RE: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Jade Harley - 12-16-2017
1. Resident Evil Remake - Same reasons as Alex, plus it's just so masterfully done, imo.
2. Resident Evil 4 - Same reasons as Greg.
3. Okami - Others have mentioned this game, but it's crazy pretty and has a wonderful story. It's just been re-released for the PS4, too...
4. Assassins Creed Brotherhood - Multiplayer mode = best. Plague doctors, heck yes.
5. Assassins Creed Unity - This game pissed me off in some aspects, but it was pretty enjoyable for different reasons.
6. Super Smash Bros Brawl - This game is so fun with friends and even just going solo in story mode!
7. Pokémon Diamond - Juuuust different enough from the earlier Pokémon games to be subtly appealing. There are some subtle things that really make this game something I think about from time to time even now.
8. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team - Adorable. Challenging. Made my twelve year old self cry. This game is so sad and beautiful.
9. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Like the last one, but an expanded amount of Pokémon and very appealing in terms of the quests and characters.
10. Animal Crossing: Wild World - I spent hours and hours playing this with my sisters on long car rides or just at home. Idk... It might not match up to the graphics of today, but it's super fun and cute.
11. Pokémon Ruby - The first DS game I ever played after my GBA. I loved it. I'm gonna make sure my children play this.
Honorable mentions: The Sims (2, 3, dunno about 4), Pirates of the Carribean Online (before it closed), Earth Eternal, Nintendogs... I can't think of any others atm.
RE: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - 13-Jzall - 12-16-2017
1. evolve stage 2, it just had something about it that kept me coming back every day and I'm still feeling sad about 2K shutting it down
2. rainbow six siege, everything about this game except for the grind feels amazing. If I had better internet it might even me rated number 1.
3. titanfall 2, I don't think I need to say much about this game apart from how good it is.
4. warhammer eternal crusade, just because of the amount of bullshittery that happens regularly
5. borderlands 2, just a solid game overall with a great story and likeable characters
RE: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Tearen Wover - 12-17-2017
I'm not sure I can rank my favorites, but I'll list the ones that have made the biggest impressions on me.
Dark Souls 2 -
Specifically 2. The first was still a little rough around the edges, and the third was just waaaayy over the top. 2 has the best atmosphere of the series, as well as the most sensible difficulty curve.
Kairo -
A first-person puzzle/exploration game that drops you into an alternate dimension with zero explanation or context. Sublime.
Stellaris -
Pretty much the epitome of grand strategy in space. The expansions allow you to fine tune your space civ down to the tiniest element.
WWII Online -
My preferred title for when I'm feeling violent. It is brutally difficult, in the most realistic way, and allows for naval, armor, air and infantry combined ops across the entire european theatre.
Star Conflict -
SPACE FLIGHT FIGHTER LASERS ZIP ZOOM KABOOM!!
Everything -
Literally the title of the game. An existential sandbox transcendental existence simulator that espouses many of my most closely held philosophies.
Doki Doki Literature Club! -
Looks like a dating simulator on the surface, but is actually one of the most jarring psychological horror games I've witnessed. I won't spoil any more.
RE: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - 2B - 12-17-2017
Nier franchise in its entirety.
- Yoko Taro, nuff said. Honestly, anything he touches. Has been a year soon, since I finished Automata. Still not over it. Probably never will be.
Honestly, his games destroyed any other games for me. They just aren't worth investing any time into, and playing.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- The one and only game I've been able to finish, after finishing Nier Automata. Probably also the one and only game I'll be able to finish after Nier Automata, before Yoko Taro releases something new.
The witcher series.
- An excellent story, with one of the best character building in any game.
RE: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Revan Noctis - 12-17-2017
10. Silent Hill Series: I love the atmosphere that the games make, not just the horror but a whole mix of emotions.
9. Jedi Knight Jedi Academy: the best Jedi simulations game, fight the imperial Remnant while stopping a secret plot to raise hell in the Star Wars galaxy.
8. Star Wars Kotor series: not as good a simulator but the story more than makes up for it. A series of games so good they became a fan favourite era of Star Wars history with many characters people including I fell in love with.
7. Elder scrolls: I’ve never finished a game but that’s because I like to take my time and a game like this has a lot of stuff in it to do.
6.Star Wars battlefront series: Playing as a soldier in your favourite Star Wars factions is awesome. Best with friends.
5.Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds:A great Star Wars strategy game with multiple campaigns from many different Star Wars factions points of view.
4. Rome Total war: An opportunity to delve into history with a historic empire of your choice is too good to avoid. I liked playing as the Scipii,Egyptians, Britons and Macedon.
3. Medieval 2 Total war: this game is great on its own and the mods that change it to either lord of the rings or elder scrolls or even the warhammer fan mod makes this game forever awesome.
2. Star Wars Empire at war mods: my favourite strategy game set in the Star Wars universe is good but with mods it’s way way up there at the top thanks to the many fans of the expanded universe. Whether it’s taking control of the imperial Remnant or leading the CIS I love playing this game.
1.The original Halo Series: this doesn’t include the newer games but the original story of the Halo games was something that always inspired me.
RE: What Are Your Favorite Video Games? - Summer - 12-17-2017
1: Any of the mainline Touhou Project games, really. Cute girls, silly banter, great music, and challenging gameplay, what's not to love? Though I do hold a special place for "Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom" for various reasons. Minus a few songs, its soundtrack is my favorite, almost all of the spell cards and patterns are super fun, and Pointdevice Mode makes it much easier to keep going after a fuck-up. And believe me, there will be fuck-ups aplenty.
2: SMITE. Though I'm a pleb and don't play conquest even though it's a MOBA. I just like to kick back with a few drinks, play some Scylla, farm to late game, and delete anyone who looks at me funny.
3: Minecraft. A sandbox with almost endless possibilities. A nice, relaxing game to unwind with, or dick around with some friends in.
4: Kerbal Space Program. Space exploration! Belle gave a better explanation than I could.
5: Skyrim. Because of course. Though it isn't as addicting as it used to be, I still come back to it every now and then when I'm in the mood for some good 'ole fantasy magic action.
