Best Game You Have Ever Played?
Hey guys,

I'm interested to know what, in your opinion, is the best game that you have ever played? This is a VERY difficult question, I know, so if there are a couple of games that you deem are on par you can list more than one.

I'm looking for insight into what shaped you into the gamer you are today and what games have impacted you within your life.

If I was to pick I would firstly pick Skyrim - This is the one game in my life that I have over 400+ hours in game time with. The game is simply beautiful. When I ran up to a fallen tree and saw an army of ants running over the tree stump I knew the game was something special. To have such an eye for detail is amazing. Also, the "Northern Lights" at night time was beautiful as well.

Secondly, I have to say Super Mario Bros. on the NES - This is the first game I ever played, was amazing for its time and I believe it not only was a big part of my childhood but a lot of others childhood as well. I still play it to this day through emulators and roms.

There's so many other games that I would tip as there were so many games that I played throughout my childhood that I look back on now with fond memories. Whilst games have developed over time and will only get better with years to come I can't help but reflect on what I played as a child and to see the progress that has been made with game developers over even the last 10 years is phenomenal.

Your thoughts guys!

I knew this topic would bring forth the raw emotion many of us feel about gaming. Very well said Gama :)

I had a lot of games I loved, any game now just the game that comes up the top of my head right now.
but a game I really enjoyed, was a game called Ground Control, its a strategy game without base building, without resource aquiring (was change in ground control 2 sadly) where you were placed in a mission with the limited resources you arranged ahead, and you had to tacticlly plan and make use of those to the max, it had a lot things like attacking tanks from the back deals more damage, high ground, shadows, and all sort of stuff (at advanced diffculty it had friendly fire) that game was one of my favorite, and a game I feel didn't recieve the attention it deserved.
another 2 I'll mention, are dungeon keeper 2, which i loved a lot, and heroes of might and magic 3, which I've been playing for 15 years, and I still play to this day

Best game ever? Halo 2 multiplayer has to be the most fun gaming experience i've had. It wasn't the matchmaking that made it fun, but the custom games. These games had rules that the players had to follow themselves; games like zombies, tower of power, etc. Even just doing super bounces and getting out of maps was really fun.

In terms of games that are their own enclosed experience without the social aspect; i would have to say that Portal is up there as one of my favorites. Clever puzzles that don't outstay their welcome and the dark humor of GLaDOS made Portal an amazing experience.

Starfox 64 was my first real experience with playing games besides handhelds like pokemon, and i still consider it to be one of my favorites.

Bulletstorm deserves an honorable mention as a shameless power fantasy shooter. Fallout 1 is incredible. TES: Oblivion sucked up a large amount of my time as well. The Witcher's story is very enthralling. The Mass Effect series definitely did some things right also. Bioshock 1 needs to be played by everyone who enjoys action rpgs. Conker's Bad Fur Day is a witty and delectable dance with crude humor.

A difficult thing to answer, yes, but an important one.
If I am to give insight on what shaped me as a "human" I have to say Myst, due to the loneliness and lack of answers it initially presents you. Using books as magical passage ways into different lands you're able to piece together a story by collecting pages torn from prison books of the main library on the Myst island. There are no monsters or enemies, just puzzles you have to solve.
Another very important game to my development is Grim Fandango (another adventure game). In it you control Manny Calavera, a travel agent of the dead world in a noir mystery that involves friendship, a very interesting concept on death and moving on.
Now, for a game that shaped my expectations on games I have to mention MDK, a third/first person shooter released in 1997. Even with the limitations of computer games back then, this game was able to give a fluid and quirky adventure to save the Earth.
In an ever changing world of games, trying to answer what is the best game I ever played is a hard challenge, one that sometimes I ask myself.

best game ever? i havent been around for as long as some other people here im sure, so i havent played as many games. But if i had to say the best game i played, id have to say Dungeon Defenders. Not only is it the game ive played the most of, but i really like the unique gameplay of a third person shooter/Tower Defense cross over along with the knights and dragons sort of theme. For the most part, the community is great, met a great friend online. there isn't a huge amount of maps, but there are multiple difficuties, aswell as multiple characters to do them as. One of my favourite parts of this game is the weapon genoration. all randomly generated so you better pray to RNGeesus!

A close second and third favourite games are BOI: Rebirth, and Vagante. Everyone here im sure knows rebirth, but Vagante is awesome! Vagante is a platformer RPG game much like splunkey. It has many mechanics simaler to splunkey, but also a lot more RPG mechanics. Such as leveling up, new equipment, weapons, and an inventory! overall, its one of my favourite games. SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUUUCH REPLAYABIITY!!!!!!!!

XCOM - The amount of hours I spent with that game on and offline, was immense. I'm a sucker for strategy, and I love to have consequences for my poorly thought out military tactics, it forces me to think, learn, and grow.

I'd have to say I spent a HUGE portion of my early gaming years playing Perfect Dark and crossbowing bots on the multiplayer or running through the awesome storyline then there was Mario 64, Star Fox, and Mario Party. The HOURS spent getting rekt on Mario Party, man. Anyone else physically fight a sibling over a minigame? Oh, boy.

But I'm surprised DOOM or Frankenwolf(or whatever its called) didn't make this list yet. First PC game I ever touched was DOOM and my grandpa let me play with cheat codes. My grandpa also introduced me to my first PC multiplayer experience through the Delta Force games. Huge maps and tons of fun. Honestly I owe my passion for pc games to my grandpa and consoles to my big brother.

Then came Animal Crossing and Call of Duty on the GameCube, countless hours spent on both (Don't get me started on Animal Crossing!), and graduating to Halo on the Xbox. At the time Halo was the greatest shooter I'd ever played next to Counter Strike and Half-Life (100% agree with Gamma, too).

I could go on and on.... we all could, I'm sure. Heck, I don't know where to start on Modern Games!

I have read this question a couple times and never felt like I could answer, after all there are many game I love....
I always say my favortie series of games is a tie between Mass Effect, and Bioshock. I loved playing muiltiplayer Supper Smash brothers and Mario Cart, on any conclue (N64- Wii), and even most of you know me through my NEW favorite Sword of the Stars: The Pit, but non can reach the capasity that my all time favorite game hit....
Runescape has to me my favorite game. I loved to, not neccisarily play the game, but experiance the comunity behind it and be with my friends while I play. One of the best parts is it never took much more that 50% of your concentration to play, so some of my best memories are watching Adult Swim at 1am on the weekend and laughing with my friends who were watching the same show while messing around on the game. Now-a-days it has a lasting effect on my menality when I find games to play, because I still want to find that game I can play while I wach something on the side.

It's very difficult to choose, so I will go by the sheer amount of time I'd spent on a game:
Diablo 2 :D
Very close to being best of all time for me are WoW, Fallout-2, Thief 1 and 2.

my favourite game (for now) is payday 2, cause i spent over 600 hours in it and it's very fun if you play it with friends. But there is only one problem when it comes to payday 2, and that is too much dlcs. So if you are going to buy payday 2 now better buy game of the year edition when it's on sale. (and also if there is anyone that wants to play payday 2 with me feel free to add me and mesage me) :)
