Weekend Open Forum: What's your favorite video game of all time?

[Seventh Reign]

So many 'new' games being posted here. Dont we have any classic gamers?

Mine is without a doubt Final Fantasy VII.

 

[Seventh Reign]

All you people naming common typical games like bioshock, the last of us, skyrim, really know very little about videogames

Even though I think you are possibly wrong, that still doesn't mean those games are not their favorite. Even though I do agree with you on Doom being my most favorite of all time, others have a difference of opinion. An opinion very likely based on how long they have been gaming.

Bandwagon Gamers .. period.

Unreal Tournament, Freespace 2, Dawn of War 2, and Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium wars.
It's hard to pick one.

So many platforms and genres over the years to pick just one. So many memories and nostalgia.
Megadrive/SNES: The Chaos Engine, Toe Jam and Earl, NHL '93 or 94, Desert Strike series.
Amiga: Bugbomber, Cannon Fodder, Alcatraz
N64: Goldeneye
PS1: Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9
PS2: Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto 3 (by far the best)
Xbox: NHL hitz, Halo
PS3: Uncharted Trilogy, The Last of US
Xbox360: Alan Wake (tho I have a 360 I never play it. IMO its balls)
PC: Portal series. L4D series. Guild Wars 1

Although I have probably played L4D2 more than anything, I miss NHL Hitz and the fun me and my mates had playing that constantly. They really need to remake that game. But they are all faves for reasons. All been played the hell out of for different reasons. Just my opinion.

1. GTA Vice City, no question about it and it had the best music in any game ever developed. Period.
2. GTA 4 and GTA SA are next up and are tied.
3. A long gap back to the 1st two Batman Arkham series.
I'll rate GTA 5 once I've played it.

They asked for your favourite game, not every game you've ever played.

oh god here come the VG hipsters. Abandon your posts. flee. flee for your lives.

 

[Ryker Tong]

Mass Effect 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 really jump to mind.

However I LOVED the GameCube, and Melee was a love of mine along with Mario Kart Double Dash and Pokemon Ruby for GBA!

Perfect dark for N64 or Halo 2 on the xbox. Used to love getting the friends together to have big Halo LAN parties.

A true gamer doesnt have a favorite game of all time but instead a long list of games

Exactly. There are games that had different impacts on me at various stages of life. My favorite game changes every few years.

 

[yRaz]

Oh god, what a hard question. Instead I'll have a list of games that I hold as equals

Oblivion
Call of Duty 4
Civilization V
Freespace 2
Mechwarrior 2

 

[Hexic]

I'd have to say after thinking back into years past... probably...

1. World of Warcraft

2. Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty

And so on: Command and Conquer (the original, and tiberian sun/firestorm)

Red alert (1 and 2)

Starcraft (1 and 2)

Unreal Tournament

Duke Nukem 3D

The Legend of Zelda (NES)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Sega Genesis)

 

[Tekkaraiden]

X-wing vs Tie Fighter.

[Guest]

Fallout 2 without a doubt for me.

 

[Guest]

Masters of Magic all the way baby!!!!

Secret of Evermore. I know it's a game with a few issues. The biggest one that critics and gamers alike couldn't get over wasn't even its fault. It wasn't Secret of Mana 2. Big deal. It picked a tone and owned it. Has a great B-list story and script, didn't take itself too seriously and became a rapturous part of my childhood.

That's crap. Movies and music, my favourite changes with my mood and the ebb and flow of the day. I can rattle off a nice long list truly great, memorable games that I loved to death. Some that became intrinsic parts of my life, but whenever asked what my favourite game of all time is, I can always say Secret of Evermore without a moments hesitation.
