Tartar Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Video games, those time-sucking vampires which has brought together this whole community of people. And considering how many different genres and types of games there are, and the widely different times and ways people on here got into gaming, it shouldn't come as a surprise that most people on here probably have different games that have impacted them the most, and have become their favorites. As someone who doesn't have one single video game which I believe to have impacted me in such a way that I define it as inherently better than any other game I've played, I'd love to hear which games people on here perceive to their favorite, and how it came to be the their favorite.

Lek Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 If were talking non-Pokemon related then Call of Duty Blacks Ops 2 and even later on Black Ops 3 The reason being that I speant tons of hours into that game and actually made some solid friendships because of it so yea If I had to choose a game it would be these two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hect Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I don't know what I should say about this game, because there's so many good things. So I'll just say nothing. (Excuse my laziness.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your right if we started to list all the good things in Fire Emblem we would be here all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Blackworth Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I also love Fire Emblem and among all video games I have played, I really loved Fire Emblem: The Sealed Sword. I liked the concept of the 8 Legends and the story of Roy and his group was really interesting. I loved Roy x Lilina too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongaarseBeer Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Mine has to be The Witcher 3. It was the first pc game I played (I used to play on my ps3) on my own pc and I fell in love the moment I started playing. And of course, as the story progressed, I fell more and more in love. When I finished the (main) story, I even felt a bit (I may even say incredibly) sad and empty... It also convinced me to start reading the books and I also enjoy those a lot. It makes me understand the game more too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animefan666 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Mario Kart 7, the first of the series that I ever played online. It's so much fun and I'm told time and time again that I'm devious with how I use items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5hift Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Going off hours-played, I have to go with Warframe. My overall favorite gaming franchise is probably Pokemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 I love the fact that people chose their favorites based on so widely different criteria, some do it based on the communities they joined and people they met in the game, some based on how much it impacted them emotionally while others solely look at how much fun and entertainment they got from the game.

Cool Girl Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Well as of now, my favorite video-game is Dangaronpa. But, I also Pokémon and Yugioh (not Yugioh Arc-V, but the old Yugioh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grinch Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 You know, there's so many games and so difficult to pick something, so I'm gonna say the first game that pops up in my mind: Kameo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anstane Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'd have to call my favorite video game ever as Sonic Adventure 1. Just so many amazing nostalgic memories of it, all the way back when I bought it (And Worms 3D, another game I fondly look back on) so many years ago...

Lugruf Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 There are so many games that chosing one is impossible for me. To say some, Pokemon Reborn, Portal 1 and Ori and the blind forest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 No one has one favorite game... why do you guys do this to me? Every time people ask me that I am like UUUUUUG I HAVE TO PICK ONE!?! JUST ONE?!? (why do you guys hate me?) Bloodborne Bordlerlands 2 Devil May Cry 3 Final Fantasy 7 God of War Series (favorite is 2) Golden Sun and Lost Age Legend of Zelda Series (favorite being Majora's Mask) Infamous Series (favorite is 2) Kingdom Hearts Series (favorite is Birth by Sleep) Marvel vs. Capcom 1-3 Megaman 2, X, and Battle Network Series. Metroid 3, 4, and Prime Trilogy (Prime 1 is probably my fav) Odin Sphere Okami Persona 3 and 4 Ratchet and Clank Series (my favorite is Crack in Time) Resident Evil 4 Super Smash Bros Tekken 5 The World Ends With You I also really enjoy most Naughty Dog games. So Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, and the Last of Us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Probably Okami for me. That game just hits all the right levels on my "Good Game" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You even said it yourself, among the series you enjoy, there are some stand-out games better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like you really haven't played many games if you can really single out just one game. There's a lot of greatness out there... Story, campaign, multiplayer, gameplay mechanics, replayability, coop, competitive, music... There's so many aspects to look at and so much to choose from and for different and/or a combination of reasons. Many games standout. If I were to make as presumptuous a statement as you did, I would say that you've played only a handful of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Blackworth Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 There's always this one game that you really love either to the point of replaying it or being able to remember the most little details of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the topic of the thread. Some people have cited impact as their reasoning. That doesn't apply to everyone. pokemon and reborn could probably be argued as having the most impact on me, considering the longstanding I have with this place and the people that have come and gone. Doesn't mean I think either are the greatest. I have lots of game music. Would the game I have the most music from be considered the best? What about the one with the most cumulative plays? What about the games I've played the longest? How many hours I've sunk into halo or destiny compared to pokemon or single player adventure games that have a definite end? there is so much depth to go through. This connoisseur doesn't take the idea as lightly as others. 11 minutes ago, Mr. Divergent said: There's always this one game that you really love either to the point of replaying it or being able to remember the most little details of it. That's actually a lot of games. I replayed Super Godzilla recently. I still knew the paths to take, the strategies to use, the attacks to avoid using against certain bosses. I still know by heart the password for the last area in Spider-Man and Venom: Separation anxiety. I still remember lots of my first playthrough of earthbound, and how I named the characters after irl friends. How many times did I run through that halo 2 campaign? Destiny strikes and raids run like clockwork now. I even re-watched a specific story segment in Soul Sacrifice the other day because that bit has so much build up to that rush of feels at the end and my vita is awol. I would probably name the Tiny Tina dlc in borderlands 2 as the best dlc ever, at first, but then I'd have to argue with myself over the Taken King expansion in Destiny. How often do I replay Dancing All Night, or theaterhythm, or rock band for the music? I could go on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Blackworth Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 How about the game that inspired a change in you? Is there a game which pushed you to pursue a certain goal? Cause that could be the one with the greatest impact on you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to make as presumptuous a statement as you did, I would say that you've played only a handful of games. 3 I think it's more about my standards for what I consider to be a favorite being too high. I've watched around 200 animes, and consider 2 to be all time favorites. I've read +500 books and likewise consider only 3 to by all time favorites. I've read +40 mangas and only consider 1 to be truly great. And after having played the majority of the Final Fantasy series, all of Fire Emblem, Kingdom Hearts, Valkyria Chronicles, Pokémon, Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton series, Xenoblade, several LoZ games, Persona/Shin Megami Tensei, and Tales of games. And the majority of NES, SNES, GBA, PS2 classics + most other worthwhile Nintendo games. In additional to playing hundreds of hours of online games such as League of Legends, Starcraft, World of Warcraft and ton of other obscure things from my collection of 300'ish Steam games. Out of all the game series mentioned in this thread, I've completed all but 6 currently mentioned (mostly the PS3 games mentioned by Godot) So I'll let you decide whether I haven't played very many games. If we were to talk about standout games which I consider good, and found to be enjoyable to play through, I can mention dozens. But not something I consider favorites. Since my definition of a favorite is something that has impacted me, my way of thinking in a major way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
