The best video game ever in your opinion? Mine is Half-Life 2.

battletoads.

The game

Doom (1993)

Runner Up: Descent (1995)

Honorable Mention: Quake (1996)

- Worms 3D

- Liero

- Aqua Nox

- Age Of Mythology

- Minesweeper

hard to choose

@tosensei feel like a kid again reading that lol

First, I knew it was kiki :)

Second, yes HL2 is definitely one of the top places but I don’t have one particular favorite game.
Some other candidates:

Final Fantasy 7
Command and Conquer - Red Alert 2
Banjo Kazooie
Outcast
Factorio

…
Doom 2
Worms Armageddon
War Craft 3
Last Epoch

@Demolishun never expected to find someone else who knows what clay fighter is

…
Jagged Alliance 2
World of Warcraft
Gothic 1+2
Prey (2006)
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
The Witcher 3
Dungeon Keeper

@Demolishun > "Doom was a lot of fun at the time"

Many, *many*, hours of playing Doom/Descent/Quake 'LAN Parties'. These kids will never know joy of hiding their game directories and bribing the network admin with pizza/donuts/beer to ignore the spike in netbios traffic.

@Lensflare what do you think of the FF VII remake?

shit this one is hard(hehe) but I would go with:

- Sekiro

- TloZ Majoras Mask

- TloZ OoT

- Elden Ring

- Alan Wake II

- Re4

- Hollow Knight

- Control

- Dragons Dogma (1st is glorious) still playing the second one which just came out, but it is magnificent

- Skyrim

- Halo 3 (great memories of playing this with my brother)

There are more, I just love games, but these ones really got me caught HARD(hehe) in terms of the lore, storytelling etc

HL2 had the most moments of things I'd never seen before. Like chopping a headcrab zombie in half with a saw blade, the first real game I played to turn the environment into a weapon.

Candy Crush

For me it’s pretty much everything @AleCx04 listed!!

@AleCx04 Quite good actually. I‘m hyped for part 2 but need to wait for the pc version.

@Demolishun i loved reading the books within the game as well. That is how I learned about sultry draconian maids

@TeachMeCode a fellow scholar of good taste I see!

For me, I'd have to say, coming from the late age of arcades...

- Alien vs Predator (arcade)
- Metal slug 1-3
- KoF, Street fighter II and mortal Kombat.
- Time crisis I and II
- SNES Mario kart and F-zero
- Chrono trigger
- FF 6, then 9, then 7, then 15.
- LotZ (pretty much all of them from ALttP)
- Sonic 2 and 3, Sonic advance and Sonic adventure.
- StarCraft and Warcraft II
- Castlevania SotN
- Super Metroid, Metroid prime and Metroid dread.
- resident evil 2 (original and remake), 4 (original) and 7.
- crash bandicoot 2 and crash team racing.
- Spyro the dragon (all 3).
- legacy of kain: soul reaver and defiance.
- Tekken 3
- Soul blade, Soul calibur, II, III, and V
- God of war (original, 3, 2018 and Ragnarok)
- super Mario 64
- banjo kazooie/tooie
- super smash bros (all until brawl, included)
- starfox 64
- Halo 1
- gran turismo 2
- panzer dragoon
- wario land and wario ware
- Pokemon (all til 3rd gen, included)
- Golden sun, I and II,
- medievil I and especially II

And I just realized that it was meant to be a single one, but so many masterpieces...

Anyway, since I started, feel free to bash the rest too.

- gears of war (I and III)
- the Witcher III
- pretty much all souls (sekiro and Bloodborne too)
- Baldur's gate III,
- Cuphead
- Helldivers (I and II)

And probably some I'm missing.

But if I were to choose... I guess I'd limit it to one of three:

- GoW 2018 + Ragnarok
- StarCraft
- Sekiro

@jestdotty

I loved GunZ, but the sheer amount of hackers kinda ruined it for me.

My favorite games that I can snappily recall are somewhere in future, so right now it's Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Seven Keys! They're releasing short on May 7 and I can't wait to give it a proper look, but the trailer is rent free in my mind already. Love visual novels and point-and-click adventures, always take me back.

Black Mesa: Source and Half-Life 2 are the GOAT!

- Factorio
- Fallout 4

Mine is soon on steam, it will be called "ShowMeSpeed"

@CoreFusionX FF15, really?
I played all of them and FF15 was one of the worst, imo. 😂

Castlevania SoTN
Chrono trigger
Zelda LttP
Super Metroid
Ff6
Diablo
Star craft
Minecraft

@Demolishun
14 is the online one.

@Lensflare
15 was cool for me. Dunno. Never played 13 or 12. The whole open world, seamless combat thing seemed quite novel (in final fantasy) to me. Then again, I only hold 7 dear because it was the first 3D one and that makes an impact.
Otherwise, 7 would be way way low on the ranking.

As disclaimer I should say, (even if it is obvious for anyone who understands my list) that I grew up with SNES/Genesis/arcade, all the way forward to Wii/PS3. Then no more consoles for me, just PC.

Last handheld was 3DS.

Why I know other games? Borrowed consoles.

Monkey Island, Doom I & II, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, even those old Test Drive games (yeah, I'm that old).

@kiki Half Life 2 is getting remastered this year, will definitely revisit it then!

Btw, if you have VR gear, half life alyx is a masterpiece too

@jestdotty as someone that never played KOTOR, do you recommend it even today? I see it all over the place on huge discounts, heck I think the one for the switch is like 10 bucks.

Should i?

Minecraft. A master class in sandbox games.

@kanyewest overdue as hell for a remake of the first one on ps2, thought the opening with hydra attacking the ship was sick

@AleCx04 I’m going to nickname dragons dogma 2 the out of shape simulator.

I’m on the fence of deleting dragons dogma 2

IVE BEEN SPENDING DAYS LOOKING FOR FUCKING PLACE TO REVIVE MY ALLIES AND GUESS WHOS GUARDING THE ONE I FIMALLY FOUND.????? WOLVES!! I GOT NO HEALTH LEFT!!!! WHAT THE FUCK AM I SIPPOSED YO DO YOU SICK FUCKING TWISTED ASSHOLES WHO WANT ME TO “WNJOY THE SCENERY OF DRAGONS DOGMA 2” FUCK THIS GAME

@AlgoRythm Finally, someone.

Because of this post, I just bought Dragon’s Dogma 2 😂

@kanyewest > "Apex Legends - I seldom play"

Now-a-days, Apex is about all I play.

<fire up apex>

Me: "Here we go, ahh..Control...let's GOOO!"

<interruption>

Daughter: "Can you help me with math? I can't figure out the probability of the dart hitting a bullseye."

<20 min. later>

Me: "OK, logged back in...Gun Run? No thank you..Trios here I come"

<1 minute into game play ...interruption>

Wife: "Stop playing that stupid game, you're a grown man. Have you cleaned the windows yet? My car needs the oil changed. When is the last time you washed your car? Shouldn't you be exercising instead of siting on your ass?"

@TeachMeCode man the amount of freedom one gets to do in terms of character creation in this game is crazy. I went with a regular dude build on my current gameplay, but i will make it a muscle mommy for the second for sure

If I have to pick one, Skyrim

@AleCx04 I’m still playing it lol.

@kanyewest

Do you mean fusrodah?

@Demolishun Just a remaster of HL2 as far as I know. Same game, updated graphics. Looks pretty smooth!
