Your favorite game of all time.
 
Don't be pussies and give me ties or any of that bullshit. One game and why.

Alright, one and only one honorable mention.

CSL 01-12-2012 11:23 PM

Max Payne (PC)

Because it is my favourite game of all time. Been looking for games and films with the dark, rainy, big city, underlying tragedy neo-noir "atmosphere" ever since. Huge mark for that stuff.

El Fangel 01-12-2012 11:36 PM

I have never played it, I saw my cousin play it and I loved the bullet-time. Is it available for 360 or PS2?

Also, my favorite game of all time is Metal Gear Solid 3, The story is amazing, the ending is perfect and how it should have been finished. It has its little jokes without going Naked Raiden, has the stealth factor that made the original such a hit but in the wilderness where it takes camouflage into account. Some of the coolest bosses in any game I have ever encountered. The main character is an established badass and there are so many styles you can play to finish. Hell, I used to spend the first hour or so hording alligator meat and shooting fruit from trees.

A close and I mean close second, would be GTA: San Andreas. It was my first 3D GTA game on a system I owned (I had previously played Vice City to Racing Hillary at a friends place) San Andreas overwhelmed me, I completed it 9 times now, once with a 100% completion (which includes all the driving, flying, etc schools) The story, gameplay and everything remains the standard for a GTA game and I am enormously excited for GTA V.

I did, loved it for the most part. Should probably pick it up and through it again actually

Skippord 01-13-2012 01:54 AM

Assassins Creed: Brotherhood probably, love the story and I am totally gay for all of those games.

El Fangel 01-13-2012 02:04 AM

Which is that in the series the 2nd one?

Verbose Minch 01-13-2012 02:06 AM

FA, you can download Max Payne 1 and 2 as xbox originals.

My favorite game ever is Mass Effect.

How much they cost, this could be much simpler but CSL is recommending the PS2 version and it likely would only be a few bucks.

I remember buying it along with Bioshock and Devil May Cry 4 as a deal for $25 or something at Eb Games by a friend that works there. When I went to play it, the disc was cracked and I have misplaced the receipt somewhere. Likely will just go purchase another copy as I have heard nothing but good things.

Verbose Minch 01-13-2012 02:42 AM

800 points, I believe. But I bought them on sale for 400 each.

Captain of Fun 01-13-2012 02:45 AM

Super Metroid because it is fucking perfect.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-13-2012 02:47 AM

The PS2 version was alright, but the worst of the three.

PC > XBox > PS2

I think I remember watching Inadequacy playing this on Gamecube. Seemed awesome.

Definitely get the PC version FA. It's old enough that a computer from 5 years ago can play it and it would probably be 2 bucks in a bargain bin.

whiteyford 01-13-2012 03:32 AM

Alladdin on the mega drive, still holds up nearly 20 years later and an awesome soundtrack too.

PC specs btw.


Hard to believe these used to be "state of the art" system specs.

El Fangel 01-13-2012 04:33 AM

Is Max Payne really THAT old?

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 01-13-2012 04:35 AM

I'll get back to this thread when I've finished playing The Witcher 2, and let you know if it beats Mass Effect 2.

Extreme Angle 01-13-2012 04:52 AM

MGS3 probably

Swiss Ultimate 01-13-2012 07:36 AM

Left 4 Dead

Honorable Mention: Mass Effect 2 (haven't played 1)

Needs moar cover mechanics.

Corporate CockSnogger 01-13-2012 09:15 AM

Final Fantasy 8. Dunno loved it, preferred it to 7. Haven't played it since whenever it was that it came out though so whatever.

MVP 01-13-2012 10:00 AM

Chrono Trigger

Eklipse 01-13-2012 12:34 PM

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is definetley my favroite of all time. Everything about that game from the graphics to the storyline is perfect. Best in the Zelda franchise and my favorite game ever. I don't know how many times I wanted to speak for Link as an adult when going back to Kokiri Forest.

Just goes to show that a game doesn't have to have an "M" rating to be flat-out incredible.

nah, just meant it was definitely on the PS2 where as I wasn't completely sure about 360. Only ever played the PC version

MoFo 01-13-2012 01:06 PM

Probly Goldeneye on N64.

Loved N64.

Turok and Mario 64 were also the best, too.

Exyle 01-13-2012 01:16 PM

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (PC)
Honorable mention: Throne of Bhaal expansion

Epic... so epic. It's the RPG that got everything right, IMO. Light years ahead of its time; only now are games like Skyrim coming out that challenge the Baldur's Gate games' immersion and epic scale.

El Fangel 01-13-2012 01:22 PM

I got Max Payne, gave it a quick shot (see what i did there?) Seems good, will finish me thinks.

(I'd put All-Stars with Mario World but feel like that would be cheating)

XCaliber 01-13-2012 04:59 PM

I'd have to go with Bioshock it has the combination of a great original storyline and has plently of action with some cool options you can make along the way.

Mister Sinister 01-13-2012 06:03 PM

Resident Evil 4

Just fell in love with the game, as I was always a big Resident Evil fan, but was beginning to struggle to get thru some of them (such as Resident Evil: Zero and Code Veronica) But I couldn't put the game down for the first 2 weeks I got it, and played it many times.

Fun Fact: I've beaten Resident Evil 4 on 4 different consoles (Gamecube, Wii, PS2 & Xbox 360)

El Fangel 01-13-2012 06:32 PM

I read that as 5, I was ready to locate you and kick you in the bag.

Honourable Mention:
http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/...oxart_160w.jpg


edit: didn't explain why.

Super Castlevania IV - I'm sure that nostalgia has a lot to do with it, but I really enjoy this game. I get bored of modern 3D games, but I can always revisit good old 2D platformers.

Tie Fighter Collector's CD-Rom - my favorite computer game of all time. Such a fun game, sweet midi tunes, cool cut-scenes, great mission structure, fun simulation aspect with managing power systems, damage, etc.

I still have my original copies of both these games. Haven't played Tie-Fighter since the late 90's though :p. Need to hook up my old 1997 Pentium MMX 133mhz computer one of these days, lol.

Shenmue or deus ex, I'm going to have to think about it

Emperor Smeat 01-13-2012 08:45 PM

The first Legend of Zelda game.

Sentimental reasons for it being one of the 1st two games I ever owned (Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt being the other) and the 1st known game I ever beat on my own.

Easily played the First Quest hundreds of times and never felt bored and last year managed to actually to get around playing the Second Quest till it was done. Ended up becoming part of a personal gaming tradition to play and beat the game at least once a year.

I own 2 copies of the game itself (Wii VC and NES) along with a ROM copy but have saves stored on another 2-3 copies from games owned by a couple of cousins.
