What's your single favorite game you've played? And Why?

[wpcautobot]

King's Quest IV - The Perils of Rosella

 

[WhatUpYo85]

For PC, hands down the original Deus Ex!

 

[AccentAE86]

On console, it is definitely the Megaman/Rockman series for 8bit NES. Great art, level and boss design, and unbeatable gameplay dynamics.

In arcade, nothing beats Street Fighter 2. It was the ultimate climax of the arcade gaming era.

And although I've always been most partial to old school games, on PC it's a modern title. RAINBOW SIX SIEGE is the most unique and engaging multiplayer fps ever. There's really nothing else like it. No wonder it's playerbase keeps growing even though it's been out almost two years.

The Original Punch-Out you know how many quarters I put in that machine.. During desperate times I would go search for bottles to get a nickle for the return.

My all time favorite single player game would be Half Life... Which lead to all kinds of mods for it... Which of course Half-Life game engine was the Quake engine and another game that I have a lot of hours in.

Planetquake, Planet Half-Life, Planet Unreal, and the rest of the Planets XXXX was my hang out. I still have the very first release of Counter-Strike it's on a CDr zipped. You could plant the bomb anywhere on the map. That was when Gooseman and Cliffe were on the forums and before Valve acquired the rights.

Multiplayer FPS is Battlefield 1942

Modem to Modem would be Falcon spent a many nights playing that.

Hahaha here's a link from the wayback machine where I'm asking about drivers and tweaks for QIII -- I go by Sinster on that forums (and many others) . I wish it archived the forums and really would like to see what I had to say.

The original Pool of Radiance on my old Commodore 64. Loved that game and replayed it on the Amiga and PC versions too. So wish they would reboot or remaster the gold box games. The Amiga version was the best version and also the best music.

Do you have a favorite game that you have previously played?

What makes it your favorite game? The story? The connection between you and the characters? A bit of both or something else? [..]

GTA: Vice City

If I had to choose one game, Vice City would be my choice. Great story, nice visuals, fantastic soundtrack! Captures the essential feeling of the 80's in a very feelgood kind of way.

(Honorable mentions: Carmageddon 2, NFS Underground 2, BF Vietnam)

Gothic 2 + Add-Ons: fantastic world, interesting story, dozens of hours of play-time. Only Dark Souls: Preapare to Die Edition was close to that experience.

Open discussion to everyone in the community

I've had more fun with the new Wolfenstein games than I've had in a while.
If I had to back in time though, I'd have to say either Rise of Nations or Warcraft 3 from my early days (2002 - 2007)
I still own everything, but sadly I haven't had a chance to play the latter two in quite a while

 

[hellodav7]

The Myst series and the new Obduction which I wish was brought to Xbox one.

 

[hamphlet]

Many many good games down the years and on PC I'd say Transport Tycoon, Sim City and Age of Empires. Going back beyond that I'd say my favourite of all was the arcade game Asteroids. A blend of superb gameplay, a perfectly weighted difficulty curve, excellent game physics and, for the time, cutting edge graphics. A real winner.

 

[Scabrat]

Nox is my favorite game and PC game. I think Monster Hunter is my favorite franchise of games. And Donkey Kong Country for snes deserves a mention .

 

[Joe Blo2]

L4D2 by far.

 

[AndreasKj]

I can't just pick one (been playing since before Commodore 64!) but as far as having had the most fun, in no particular order:

1. Carrier command. Epic fun as both tank, plane and carrier.
2. M1 Tank Platoon. The variation and tactics.
3. Gunship 2000. It's an Apache!
4. Silent Service. Ooooh...to find the carrier!
5. World of tanks. Love the constant unpredictability.
6. Command and conquer series.

Wing Commander 3 was the reason i bought an Playstation in 1996.
Most impressive Title Max Payne (the drug Scene with the crying baby).
Best Game in my opininion the original Sid Meyer`s Pirates, played thousands of
hours, including the painting of own maps and stuff like that.

Castlevania II, Simon's Quest or the original Final Fantasy before it got all steampunk on console, still nothing as challenging as those two... and Simon's Quest was one of the first multiple ending possible games. Back around the blizzard of 1993 started playing Betrayal at Krondor for PC while snowed in. Played on a 486DX 66, 8 MBs of ram and a 250 MB hard drive. Installed from diskette. "Don't copy that floppy!" Was still a thing. I have a copy of it still, and xBak works on Linux still... wondering if it would run from the Linux bash shell on W10 now that we are talking about it... Still one of the most complex games and expansive outside of Elder Scrolls. Think the actual world was larger in where you could explore. Speaking of that, sometime the next year the first Elder Scrolls was released which would be the close second. Both are abandonware I think now so DosBox and you could still play them.

I was playing Quake for ages. Although it was DOS, the game play was excellent, even on a Pentium-I 200mHz machine. And it loads very fast.

Quake 2 was nice, but it lacked the grittiness and the dark gloom of the grottos

Then I moved on to Aliens, which was one of the toughest FPS I've played. I liked the dark graphics, The missions were hard, the aliens vicious and hard to detect and kill. And you have to stay alive and complete each level as there is no game-saves within the level. At the end of it all, the alien queen awaits. ... Sweat in bullets...

I'm old school.

Tyrian on DOS. Vertical scrolling SHMUP. Game is still amazing to me. So much ship customization and the music is cool. You learn how to use the mouse very well very quickly.

Original EverQuest. Because it was hard AF!! You learn how to type well and very quickly. Set macros, use leet speak and acronyms like a boss. "TR41N T0 Z0N3!!!! GTFO!!!"

 

[raycpl]

Total Annihilation - and its very rousing symphonic music

... !

 

[Golfdriver97]

Starcraft

Are you going to get the remastered version?

 

[Golfdriver97]

As for me....not sure what to choose. I have the original Starcraft, and am thinking of getting the remastered version. Not sure. But I don't know if I would choose that one as my favorite. I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest a few weeks ago. I really liked that one.
