What is your favorite videogame?

[augmentedspartan]

I'm always curious to what a person's favorite videogame is. So what about you RPN users, what is your favorite game? This could be anything ranging from consoles, to PC, to smartphones.

Flappy Bird


LOOOOOL


But no, seriously, Dragon Agerigins all the way

 

[theorph99]

Look everyone knows that it's Superman 64 or go home. @Ayl


But for me either The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, or Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.


Maybe Persona 4 as well, but I still have yet to personally play it.

 

[Protagonist]

Fallout: New Vegas.

 

[MackSpunkmeyer]

1. Original Resident Evil games. (Zero, 1, REmake, 2, 3: Nemesis and Code Veronica. I also like Resident Evil 4, being the first game I ever played, but I hate the fact it stirred away from the original survival horror that was Resident Evil.)
   
2. Original Doom duo, which for me, the Brutal Doom mod enhances it a lot, and it has many amazing WADS. (Look it up, it's amazing. I also like Doom 3, but not really as much.)
   
3. Original Serious Sam duo. (The First Encounter and The Second Encounter, not the first one and Serious Sam 2.)
   
4. Original Half Life trilogy. (Half Life 1, Half Life Opposing Force, Half Life Blue Shift.)
   
5. Original Team Fortress Classic. (I hate Team Fortress 2, but Team Fortress Classic ROCKS!)
   
6. Original Aliens Vs. Predator, 1 (or Classic 2000) and 2. (I linked to them so you know which ones i'm talking about because there are a lot of AVP games.)
   
7. Original Paper Mario duo. (Paper Mario 64 and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
   
8. Donkey Kong 64. (I also like Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! a lot, but I still prefer Donkey Kong 64 more.)
   
9. Super Vehicle 001: Metal Slug Anthology
   
10. Original Day Of Defeat and Day Of Defeat: Source.
    

(So many, "Originals" xD ) I like more old school shooters and Resident Evil style games with the fixed camera angles and whatnot and some RPG's here and there and to complete it, some old side scrollers. Those 10 games I mentioned above are the loves of my life.


I just love oldies.


If I were to mention the follow ups that did not make it to my top 10 (I have my Top 10's for everything.) Those would be:

1. Chrono Trigger
   
2. Minecraft
   
3. Super Smash Bros Brawl. (With the Project M mod.)
   
4. Need For Speed: Underground 2. (I only like this Need For Speed game.)
   
5. Metroid Prime trilogy.
   
6. Original Castlevania trilogy for the NES and Super Castlevania IV.
   

And that's about it.

 

[ninbinz]

The Suikoden Series, a jrpg series that has a changing roster of 102 main characters and several more side characters and a great storyline.


Breath of Fire Series, there's only one other game where turning into dragons is as fun and it's not Divinity.


Devil May Cry: any of the games in this series works.


Ratchet and Clank: There are haters out there but I don't care, I enjoyed this series to no end


Sly Racoon: Who doesn't want to be a Coon ?(not a copyright of Everybody Wants to be a Cat)


Fable 1 and 2 because 3 was shit


Metal Gear Solid: Because Snake is certified badass


Heavy Gear: An old mech game on PC that I enjoyed to no end.

 

[augmentedspartan]

Fallout: New Vegas.

Oh yeah, Fallout New Vegas is awesome. Always something to do.

Original Half Life trilogy. (Half Life 1, Half Life Opposing Force, Half Life Blue Shift.)


I just love oldies.

I've always preferred the original half-Life than 2 and the episodes.


For oldies, I like the original Deus Ex and Thief: The Dark Project.


Personally I love Metro: 2033. Aside from the great gameplay, story and graphics, it has something I always love in game, the little details. Stuff like being able to check your watch, or having some of the mutants look different even though they are the same sub-class. Those little things that show that the developers put effort into making the game.

 

[MackSpunkmeyer]

Oh yeah, Fallout New Vegas is awesome. Always something to do.

I've played Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 on my sister's Playstation 3 a few months ago. It was very nice. I'm actually looking forward to buy Fallout New Vegas on Steam if I ever get the money. Which sadly would be unlikely.

I've always preferred the original half-Life than 2 and the episodes.

Indeed. I feel that when they introduced the Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator "Gravity Gun" it took away a bit of the, puzzle aspect and difficulty that the original Half-Life has, and among many other reasons. I also love Half-Life for it's story. Marc Laidlaw is a genius I tell ya'

For oldies, I like the original Deus Ex and Thief: The Dark Project.

Never got the opportunity to play Deus Ex. I know when I visited my uncle in Florida, at that time I remember he was playing Deus Ex and I used to watch him play. It looked amazing.

You can get it for 5 bucks if its on sales. And its one of those games you see going on sales a lot of times.

I didn't really mind the gravity gun too much, but it felt that you didn't get enough opportunities to have fun with it. I agree about the game being less puzzly and easier, it was way too lineal. Go here, do this, go there, do that. Meanwhile in HL1 you had to break your brain sometimes to figure out where to go. Lots of crazy parts too, which were always nice. Plus HL1 had more interesting guns, while HL2 had more run of the mill guns.


The story was pretty amazing too. I like how it wasn't forced down your throat. You could just go past the talking scientists and do your thing, or you could listen and take in the story. The intro was a nice touch too.

It is. The graphics and physics engine are pretty outdated, but the story and gameplay are still quite strong. Its one of those games in which you can play a mission however you want. (You can even run past some bosses and shut the door on their faces)

I figured as much. But I ain't really in a position to even get 5 bucks. Oh well.

You could have not said it better my dear friend. I don't know with what to reply with here since well, you noted all the cons of HL2 quite nicely and their differences.

I see. I played Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I liked aaaaaaaaall the design from the guns, to the robots, atmosphere of the city and all of that, I just could not play it because it felt too modern.


It's hard to explain, I need to have a feel that i'm playing a game released in 2000 or 1998 etc. I need to not have a so-perfected game... it's just, hard to explain.


This is why I can't really play any modern games. Again, hard to explain. Hence I always prefer playing old games.

Yes, I loved how the guns had the little clicks and sounds that made them look as if they were real. I also love how you could completely mess up something, but still be able to go back and try to find another way to do it.

Oh, I think I know what you mean. When I play old games like Thief: The Dark Project, Deus Ex, or even things a bit newer like The Darkness, or The Chronicles of Riddick I always find it that they all have this thing that I like. The blockyness and small render distance and zones that don't have detailed textures make the game seem darker, and kinda help the atmosphere. The fact that they have simple textures is kinda soothing, meanwhile with new game is like BAM! graphics. And the clunckyness of things like moving or jumping makes it feel as if it were more real. Its as if the fact that they aren't completely perfect makes it stand out more.

 

[MackSpunkmeyer]

[QUOTE="THE J0KER]The first two Paper Mario games were the fucking bomb. Funny as hell, and bright and cheery without being nauseatingly so.

[/QUOTE]
You could have not said it better. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door was my first Gamecube game I ever played. And in total tops the 6th place in the first 10 games I ever played.


I was 7. I remember I used to come from school and just lock myself in my room and play it. I had the greatest time ever. I can honestly say, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door is the game I had the best experience and time while playing it.


Those are memories only I know, and understand why I hold them so dear to my heart. Because I was alone in that room, no friends were there with me to be like: "Awww that is so awesome!" when something cool happened. It was only me. It's one of the few games I strongly wished someone was there with me to play it through with.


Not to be emotional, but sometimes I cry when I randomly hear the soundtrack. Nostalgia and all, I haven't played that game in a long time. But yeah.


May I ask you @THE J0KER, did you play them?

Yes, I loved how the guns had the little clicks and sounds that made them look as if they were real. I also love how you could completely mess up something, but still be able to go back and try to find another way to do it.

Yeaaaaaah. I freaking love guns.

Again, you made an accurate explanation to a point of mine. If my English was more developed, I would have written better.

 

[MackSpunkmeyer]

[QUOTE="THE J0KER]Well yeah, though my nostalgia is more attached to the original Paper Mario. That game had some great stuff. Koopa Bros, Dry Dry Desert, the haunted mansion, Tubba Blubba, the volcano, the badges, the sewer bloops, Bowser, the Peach segments...

[/QUOTE]
I see. I bought Paper Mario 64 on the Nintendo Wii online shop thing, forgot what it is called. I played it and got stuck in the chapter were you are in a toyland of some sort filled with bandits if I remember correctly. Haven't played it because I have gotten distracted over time.


Before that, when I was 9 and my sister installed emulators on my old laptop, I remember I did not play it right. I would just activate cheat codes and screw around.


I remember I thought the game was messed up because I activate Infinite Lives in the first chapter, and as you know, you are supposed to "die" in the first battle. And I didn't. So I was just stuck in eternal battle with Bowser.


Oh man, I gotta play it now. Hopefully my Wii, which has been sitting there collecting dust for quite the time, works.

 

[Fexonocks]

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I really loved the darker theme as opposed to previous Zelda games. Close behind is the more recent Assassin's Creed II.

 

[PixelWitch]

My Favorites are a toss up between three. Of which I can't choose between.


* Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne Maniacs Edition.


I have the Advanced Edition which featured the Fiends and the Labyrinth of Amala. Which is Hell, in a figurative and quite literal sense. This game is HARD. Like, stupidly, patience shredding, The Computer is a cheating Bastard, How-was-that-fair!? levels of hard. And completing it with a full demon compendium, all Magmatama ingested and True Demon Ending by lazer-facing God and Lucifer into the dust may be my best gaming achievement to date.


* Okami


I love this game. I love the Art Style, the Brush techniques, the Monsters, the Music, the Boss Battles. Ermph. Just everything. People complain it's just a Zelda game wearing a different set of clothes, but I freaking loved it.


* Psychonauts


This is another hard as balls game with a difficulty curve like running into a brick wall, but it has the best characters, voice acting and level designs I've ever witnessed in a game. Seriously the Milkman Mystery Level is just mind-bending. (*Badumbtish*) It has an alarming level of depth and surprisingly dark for a chipper platformer, if you pay attention to the Easter eggs and hidden areas too.


Honorable mentions also go out to: - Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Theme Hospital, Startopia, Jak and Daxter Trilogy, The Sims, Minecraft, Faster than Light, Persona 3 and 4, Kingdom Hearts, FFX (It was my first FF game shaddup), Silent Hill 2, Project Zero/Fatal Frame, and Dark Cloud.


Wow, that's quite a list!

 

[Arisa Takera]

Since I really got into gaming I've gotten really attached to the DeadSpace and Bioshock series. Currently I think I have to say that Bioshock Infinite is my top favorite game right now.

 

[MackSpunkmeyer]

I'm currently really into EarthBound. It's quirky, charming and hilarious. The music is catchy and memorable, and the plot is pretty good. I picked up Okami when I was 12 and adored it. I still love it; the graphics are unique and pretty, and the music is mesmerising. There are plenty of emotional moments too. Other games I love are Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. I've only played a bit of Chrono Trigger but plan to play more, and I'm sure it will be one of my favourites. I love RPGs.

Oh yeah, I forgot about EarthBound... I need to play it. I remember when I bought Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. I thought it was a crappy Pokemon game since, well, it didn't look like the normal Pokemon games, but man I played it and my opinion changed instantly.

 

[ChanpuruDragon]

You know there's probably a lot of games I would list, but I can't help but call say it's Halo just because of the friends I've made through the years.


There's so much you can do in that game, just last week we were playing an Indiana Jones type survival game.

Oh I love Halo, mostly Halo 3. Playing by myself is rather meh, but with friends its so much fun. Its one of those party games, where you can be four friends and just mess around in forge or personalized matches. The campaign is fun too, lots of different locations and vehicle levels (scarabs whoo) but it sucks that its only two people split-screen instead of four.

 

[cor!]

I've got a good long list of games I can't put down. League of Legends sits fairly comfortably near the top, currently. Of all time? In no particular order: Majoras Mask, Animal Crossing, Assassins Creed Black Flag, FE 7,8,9, and 11, Dragon Age Origins, Skyrim, Oblivion (oh the hours I pissed away on Oblivion,) Deadpool, Wind Waker, Pokemon Silver, Smash Bros Melee, Star Fox Adventures, Ocarina of Time, God of War (all 3), Spyro, Kingdom Hearts, and Ill be buggered if I can name the rest.

 

[Alexandria Williams]

Final fantasy (all), Alice madness returns, twisted metal, and the legend of Zelda

 

[vibrantsystem]

-Okami. You should play it.


-The Legend of Zelda-Skyward Sword. I enjoyed this one quite a bit more than many other people. I can see why people don't like it, but it desn't stop me.


-Half Life 2 and its episodes. It isn't called best first-person shooter of all time without reason.


-Professor Layton and Unwound/Lost Future. Puzzles, a really, really strange set of plot twists and a surprisingly touching ending. I'm not afraid to say I did indeed cry at the end.


-Spore. It was fantastic. But it was made by EA, so of course there were to be many expansion packs. And of course only two were actually released.


Should be it. Mostly.

 

[UglyBum21]

any final fantasy game, zelda, and assassins creed game...

 

[Raerae]

Oh gosh... So many to list.


N64: Banjo and Kazooie, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Stadium, Legend of Zelda.


Ps2: Sly Cooper, Suikoden tactics, Star wars: Battle front, Kingdom hearts, Ratchet and Clank, Dragon Quest, Dark Cloud, Sims.


Dragon age: Origins & 2. Mass Effect series. Assassins Creed (All). Dead Island (Ehh, kind of). Skyrim. Batman: Arkham city.


Pokemon... All games, I think. Modern warfareeeee. Call of duty zombies. The last story. Metroid. Mario.


Yeaaaah.

 

[SiroVai]

Skyrim - best game ever made by man.


I also love Kerbal Space Programme. Look it up if you want to become totally immersed in rocket design and space exploration.
