Chewblaha Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Aside from the Red Dead and SotC, this might be the best 3*3 I've seen. Hey Thanks, I do feel very strong about SoTC it's one game i feel very sure will always pop up in my favorite game lists, but RDR is more of a wildcard, that could be replaced with many others, also i tried to give this gen some love, as there are so many games i love to death that could easily go in that list. I'm glad you liked though =D Yeah I'm a huge supporter of FFVI (not only was it the best FF ever made, it was the last good one made) and I absolutely love Baldur's Gate. Bastion also became pretty huge in my gaming life since the day it's come out (The soundtrack hasn't left my car's CD player since last August). I really do like the choices you made.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yeah, I agree, great one. I think the only game we have in common is Ocarina of Time, but it's still a great collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocoGRANDE Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) this was fun! Super Mario Brothers 3 - what else can be said about this game? it was one of my firsts, and far and away the NES game i spent the most time with. Final Fantasy VI - didn't catch up with this until emulators began showing up when i was in high school. what an amazing game, and the gold standard i hold RPGs to this day. Disney's Duck Tales - another NES game i spent a lot of time on. this game had a lot of really fun mechanics, plus the option to travel to different worlds and levels ala megaman. apparently this game has alternate endings too, though i never was devoted enough to get them. Deus Ex - from my brief time as a PC gamer in high school i managed to pick this game up and loved every second of it. i recall playing the statue of liberty level at least 5 or 6 times just experimenting with different ways to go through it. as amazing as DE:HR was i've not seen a game since the original give you so many excellent ways to play it. Mario Tennis 64 - while the GC mario tennis may be superior, this was the one i spent most of my time with. i had the good fortune to live in a house with 3 roommates who were all as into this game as i was, and it made for the most fun multiplayer i've ever played, hands down. Dragon Quest VIII - there were a lot of games that could have taken this slot, but i'm going with DQ8 even though i'm still playing it. i absolutely love the design of this game. the mechanics are bread-and-butter JRPG, but with an awesome variety of monsters and a great (if a bit simple) leveling system. the humor and the character moments are what really make this game exceptional. but the great overworld and amazing combat don't hurt it either. Demon's Souls - here's another one that i'm still playing, but am enjoying so thoroughly that it's gotta go here. what a game. i've never been so brutally punished by a game and kept coming back for more. the level design and mechanics are great, and the boss fights are like the cherry on top. such an amazing game, i can imagine myself playing this one for years to come. The Orange Box - it took me a long time to come around to this due to availability. i don't know why i waited. HL2 was as amazing as everyone had told me, and Portal was quite simply one of the most perfectly designed games i've ever encountered. absolutely stunning experiences, both. TF2 is something that i've not gotten into simply because i'm not really an online gamer, but i appreciate it nonetheless. Journey - i've got to give it up to thatgamecompany. i was a huge fan of flower, and i had high hopes for this one. amazingly they exceeded them, delivering an unforgettable experience. the best implementation of online features i've seen in ANY game (that includes Demon's Souls) and the awe-inspiring graphics/design elevate this to the level of masterpiece in my mind. the low commitment aspect of it too (1.5 hours to beat it!) means i'll be dipping back into this one for a long time, and continuing to share it with friends. i'll probably look at this after posting and think "god! how could i have forgotten [insert awesome game here]" but i guess i should just let it go for now.

Chewblaha Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I really want to put Bastion in my top nine but I can't take out Pokemon Silver. Let's just say Bastion is ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfbeast Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 well, here it goes: this is more a list of games, I love for a multitude of reasons, they're not particularly games I played the most or had the most fun with (otherwise it would be a list of mario type games with a little bomberman and micro machines sprinkled in) - those are games that made me proud to be a gamer! 1. Castles of Dr. Creep my bro had a Commodore 64 when I was little and I was sometimes allowed to play. I always wanted to play Castles of Dr. Creep, because it was weird kind of 2-player puzzle exploration game or something. you just went through rooms and rooms to find all the keys to escape a castle full of mummies and frankenstein-monsters and totally awesome super laser turrets that'll follow you and shoot you dead. the fun part was, to use all those traps to your advantage! 2. We Love Katamari Katamari Damacy was the original with the crazy story and creepy cosmos girl, I just liked the gameplay more in We<3Katamari, and that's it. 3. Space Channel 5 Part 2 Space Channel 5 is a quirky game. I like quirky games! Part 2 just had a better soundtrack. also, only playing it in japanese because the engrish is magnificent! (btw, raver ulala in that striped outfit is totally hot!) 4. Demon's Souls aliens made this game, because no human can create something so perfectly divine! umbasa! 5. Super Mario World of all the Marios SMW is my favorite. I played it a shit ton of times, probably since its release (although didn't have a SNES until the late 90s, had to spend a lot of time with kids I didn't like, I'm such a gamer whore). just found out you can steer that coin snake thingie with you d-pad a couple of years ago. v_v 6. Dreamweb Cyberpunk just goes so well with the adventure genre, because the story should be the main focus. and if you add a melancholic synth soundtrack that just oozes atmosphere, you got yourself a hit! (puzzle-wise it's probably not one of the top games, but everything else is brilliant) 7. Day of the Tentacle does this need an explanation? I think not! 8. MegaLoMania sure, there are better RTS games with more content, but MegaLoMania has a special place in my heart, there's nothing more satisfying than nuking a bunch of cavemen just for fun! 9. Lemmings Lemmings + Amiga + 2 Mice + Unlimited Tools = 2 Player-Funtimes till you pass out from lack of sleep! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
