Favorite game of all time?

[Windaga]

I see no reason in creating a new topic about this so I will necrobump it, this is the type of thread that should be stickied.

I've been debating this for a long time, and my all time favorite video game is Persona 4. The music, the gameplay, the animation, the story, they all blend together to create a gaming masterpiece.

This, but for Persona 3. I loved both titles to death - I'm a HUGE Atlus fan - to an obsessive point almost - and the SMT series (specifically Persona 3 and 4) is what got me on to them. Persona 3 just resonated with me - the music, the characters, the atmosphere - everything. I love Dig Dug, I love Age of Mythology, and I love Wolf of the Battlefield, but Persona 3 is just....I can't get enough. I think I put about....350+ hours into the Persona series alone, and I loved every second of it.

Not saying I don't love P4 - both Persona 3 and 4 are on my top ten list, but P3, for me personally, is just insurmountable.

Hm... Impossible for me to actually choose one game, so, I'll list the ones I treasure the most, and that will always have a special place in my heart.

- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time (Fine, kill me, cause it was obvious)
- Transport Tycoon Deluxe (My first ever strategy game)
- Freelancer (Oh, my crush, the space. Such a giant universe in such a small game. And so much freedom. And such deep story. Beautiful game)
- Grand Prix 4 (Right... probably the only racing game that keeps on being on my hard disk no matter how many times I format it. Not a big fan of racing games, but I'm a F1 fan, so, I always mod this one with the latest cars and drivers and have fun for at least a year)
- Super Mario Bros. (Man, I still remember that birthday when I got a NES as a gift. Although SMB was my first meeting with the video games world, I was still good enough to beat my father round after round... you know, in a race of who advances furthest without losing all their lives)
- Excitebike (No comment, I was, and still am, addicted to this game)
- Digimon World 3 (Dunno why, but I still think that this one is far better than any other Digimon or Pokemon made so far)
- Luigi's Mansion (The one game that made me actually love Luigi)
- The World Ends With You! (Which was actually the one RPG that made me stop hating RPGs... though I still hate most of the PC RPGs... dunno why)

That's it, I guess.

I was just about to respond to this and then I realized that I actually made this thread. Two years ago. Holy shit.

I'd still say 007 Nightfire although there's a few others that just made my childhood (namely Star Wars: Clone Wars, which has no relation to the cartoon series ironically).

my wife and I used to play Nightfire for hours at a time. That and Soul Calibur 2. And then we stopped smoking weed...

Now that's easy to answer: Terranigma!
I have yet to encounter another game, that draws me in as much as Terranigma. I mean, the story, the graphics, the gameplay, the music.... I still play it from time to time (on my SNES of course).
I loved it already, when I was at a friend who played it while I was just watching. Then, when he let me play it, I fell in love with the game and was really happy when another friend wanted to trade his Terranigma with my Harvest Moon. That was the best trade I ever did.

The only thing missing tho, is time travel.. But then again, it would probably be too much for me..

My favourite would have to be Breath of Fire III. The music is great, the story is perfect and I love dragons! Been playing it since it was released on ps1

TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect; First person shooting at its finest.

To quote from an article I read a couple of months ago: 'You haven’t played a first person shooter until you’ve stood at the top of Siberia’s Oblask Dam, defending it with a Minigun from a horde of exploding monkeys, deployed by the Russian Mafia who want the Dam destroyed.'

 

[Gahars]

Timesplitters 2 and Timesplitters Future Perfect. Though I think FP was a better game (One of the best FPS campaigns ever, seriously), I sunk hundreds of hours into both of these games. They are both classics, and it's a crime that more people don't know about them. (Also, I love my 360, but seriously, backwards compatibility doesn't support Future Perfect? Are you kidding me?)

Besides that, Mass Effect 2, probably. Such a great game, with a (mostly) great cast of characters and an intriguing plot. March will not be here soon enough; I need ME3 now, damn it!

TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect; First person shooting at its finest.

Holy shit. Nice to see I'm not online on this one.

Final Fantasy X-2

My post from 2009 is still correct, if you add Phantasy Star Online and Final Fantasy XIII

 

[Wizerzak]

Portal 2 = best game evar!

Well, out of what I've played anyway.

 

[Balee56]

I can't choose one so here are my favourite games:

Super Mario World - One of the best platformers ever and my favourite Mario game.
Sonic 1+2+3+K - I prefer them over Sonic CD.Sonic 2 introduced me to Sonic and Sega Mega Drive.
Call Of Duty 2 - Best FPS game i've played.
Final Fantasy VIII - I liked the junction system and the story.
Final Fight 1+2+3 - I think the 2nd one is the worst of them,but it's still good.
No More Heroes 1+2 - The best Wii games i've played so far.
Pokémon Platinum/FRLG - Platinum introduced me to this franchise,but i can't choose between Ptt and FRLG because the GBA ones make me nostalgic because i watched the cartoon when i was a kindergartner.
GTA:SA - I had so much fun playing this,and it's much more fun than GTAIV.
Crash Bandicoot trilogy - Easily the best games on PS1.My brother and me used to rent the 1st one so much till we got the PS1 modchipped.
Um Jammer Lammy - BEST.RHYTHM.GAME.EVAR

Aw man, that game is amazing. I played the shit out of it. Probably the best kart racing game ever made (suck on it, Mario Kart).

Might have said this, but The World Ends With You.

Top 6 (Can't decide the final four, In Order

The World Ends With You - Not everyday a game changes how you look at the "world"...
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - The game was epic in ways not imaginable.
Beyond Good and Evil - Tear Jerker Ending, my firends.
Pokemon: Diamond Version - Although I prefer Sapphire, I had my best memories with Diamond!
Advance Wars: Dual Strike - First DS Game, Awesome DS Game.
GoldenEye 007 - What can I say? That game was kick ass, no matter what YOU think
