the best game of all time (for you)

Okay...it's hard to pick one. But pick. One, then do runners up.
For me: stalker, shadow of chernobyl. Perhaps because I played through and completed everything on amps. But the atmosphere of that game in an open world setting cannot be surpassed.
Runners up: dead space, call of duty, world of warcraft

For me its Final Fantasy 9, I had allot of fond memories with that game
-------------------- December 1960: "They took the drug one evening at Leary's house and had a profound experience, during which Ginsburg prophetically realized that it was a time to start "a peace and love movement". He then ran naked around the house, attempted to get Kruschev and Kennedy on the telephone and announced to the operator that he was God."

Morrowind by far.
I guess the runners up would include: Oblivion Pong The Oregon Trail
Those are all based on the enjoyment I got out of a game and the amount of play time they offered before I got bored with it (a very important factor for me)

Hehehehe . Oregon trail. I used to wait for my people to die of dysentary and then make the gravestones say really fucked up things. Here lies Luitenant Dan, he was a slutty hoe and so we murdered him. lol
The cool part was when you went on the trail again you could see past graves.

Wow... maybe Half-Life for the best. That is a hard one. Morrowind is definitely up in the top 5 for me. Legend of Zelda Portal (my wife could not be in the room when I played that game, glados' voice creeped her out to much) Quake 2 (I wore that CD out, I beat that game so many times, I think only HL1 comes close to times beaten) Deus ex 1 GTA 3 SA
I know i will miss a couple that really should be up there 
I loved UT99 and CoD MW1 for my favorite online times, but I think that was due to who I was playing with.
Crap I think I need to run through Deus Ex 1 and 2 again and get ready for 3.

I would always have 20 oxen and set my pace at maximum. My people would always get sick, but that didn't slow me down.
Then one time a thief stole all 20 of my oxen when I was in the desert. No one would trade me any oxen, so my party and I all starved to death.
The game would have been much more interesting if it allowed you to resort to banditry.

But yeah StarCraft2 would be my fav, with a runner-up of COD4. I don't really play games that aren't an FPS or RTS though, so my opinion is biased.

Civilization 4, without a doubt.
I've spent more time and gotten more enjoyment out of that game than any other one I've played.
Really, the whole series is amazing.
Except the last one.
Which sucked.

Civilization 3 was far better that 4 or 5 (IMO). 5 really, really sucked. It was super slow and the hexagon grid that they said would make everything more tactical didn't (able to move in 6 directions instead of 9, lame).

I just got Assassins Creed : Brotherhood from the Redbox last night and was messing around with it.
I've never played any other games in the series, so it's taking some getting used to.
But my boss says I have too many damned hours, so I'm home for the next three days.
Hopefully I can figure it out.

I don't know about that. I want to see figures! At one point everquest economy for RL money for ingame items and currency.. gross worth was more than the country of Russia in a year. I myself used to profit off WoW, played 'professionally' and was sponsored and ended up selling my toon for 5k. would hardly call that the best game ever though, fuck WoW. I could never really get into Halo or CoD or any of those games..

Best game ever.....hmmmmm, first I gotta define what "best" is, because theres different things I like about different games. But I guess if I had to narrow it down to games that provided the most overall entertainment for me I'd have to go with the ones I spent the most time playing and never got bored of them. Using that criteria it would have to be a toss up between these games (in no particular order): Oblivion GTA: San Andreas Resistance: Fall of Man
But there are too many awesome games in the world to really call one of these "the best". I just spent a lot of time playing them. I want different things all the time depending on my mood and I play a wide variety of games on a regular basis.

don't really think in terms of best games of all time, but at the moment it's all about bit.trip beat, is just ingenius... geometry wars 2 is another fave...
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Yep.. I started about 2 weeks after release. I was bored and wandering around CompUSA and decided it looked interesting. Every MMORPG since that time I've been disappointed that it didn't suck me in and make me feel like a part of something like EQ1 did back then.

Yea, I try to explain this to people in my WoW guild and they're just like...huh? They want to know how it was better when it didn't have instancing and the combat wasn't as advanced. I try to explain it but it was just something about that game that felt like I had become my character and I was living in a new world. WoW and no other mmo ever did that to me. Just things like not having little "!" above quest givers and having to go out and find the quest giver and saying the right phrases in sequence/etc. Or how the players set up trading outposts in the ec tunnels. Plus it was hard to get across the world and if you died it really meant something and was hard to recover from.

It's really hard to choose a favourite, my games are my friends! But I guess... Dungeon Keeper is one of the most outstanding. Runner up would have to be Resident Evil 1-3 as well as 0.

X-COM games back from the days of the 486 computer: UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka X-COM: UFO Defense) and X-COM: Terror from the Deep
I'm annoyed that no software company can make a brilliant turn-based strategy game like these two games on a modern gaming system. These two games were like a giant game of chess that actually made you think and plan ahead; I used to play these games with a notepad beside me to help me track my plans, strategies, and help with the management of the game.
There are nearly no turn-based strategies on modern gaming systems anymore; the only "ok" turn based strategy on the Xbox 360 is Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution.
From the Wikipedia article, Quote:
In 2010 2K Marin announced the official reboot of the series, entitled simply XCOM
I got excited for a few minutes, until I found out that it was going to be a First-Person shooter?!?!! Seriously?!??? Everyone who remembers X-Com remembers it for being a great turn-based strategy game, not a first-person shooter. 2K Marin already have everything to make a great turn-based strategy for a modern gaming system, yet instead they make yet-another first-person shooter!

oh yeah...resident evil. i liked zero for the gamecube a lot, and i played code veronica on dreamcast for days. never really got into the originals though, and the new ones just don't have the same atmosphere. 4 was okay (nice revamped combat system, still maintained the horror element) but 5 was garbage IMO.

Weeell, for one they added mr whatshisface from the grave as well as that stupid trollish boss that sounds like he/she got his/her dick stuck somewhere. Oh, and those zombies that wake up after awhile incase you burn them, that was kind of annoying. I did like that way you could stab the zombies in the face though

oh yeah...resident evil. i liked zero for the gamecube a lot, and i played code veronica on dreamcast for days. never really got into the originals though, and the new ones just don't have the same atmosphere. 4 was okay (nice revamped combat system, still maintained the horror element) but 5 was garbage IMO.
I almost cry when I realised they were going to scrap the whole RE4 when it was almost done and remake it with crazy mexicans (kinda racist dramatization) instead of zombies. I still have a magazine from 2003 with pictures of beatiful spiders and zombies with 2-4 pages talking about how awesome Resident Evil 4 was gonna be. And then.. they killed Umbrella. That's when the series died for me.
Edit: I don't know how I managed to get the entire message into a quote. Not exactly sober here. SRY

I feel exactly the same. I downloaded and played enemy unknown a few months ago using dosbox and it was so much fun still to this day. Such deep strategy involved and the combination of the overworld planet view/base-building/interceptor dogfighting/turned-based ground missions was amazing and gave almost infinite replay value.
As for the FPS reboot ...it really makes me sad. I have no idea why they aren't trying to improve upon the original with updated graphics, deeper gameplay, etc.
Have you tried the other "UFO" games like afterlife/aftermath? They aren't too bad if you just want some turn-based strategy and light base-building back in your life. They also made a nearly 1:1 copy of enemy unknown with updated graphics with a few minor changes.

I have tried the Rebelstar Tactical Command game for the Game Boy Advanced that came out a number of years ago. It is a lot like the combat portion of X-Com, but that is about it. I have also tried UFO2000, but it too is only the combat portion of the game -however it is fun being able to play against other human players.
I haven't tried the UFO Afterlight or Aftermath yet.

http://pc.ign.com/objects/014/014775.html - has a link to the demo too if you want to try it out.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO:_Extraterrestrials - this is their updated version of ufo enemy unknown. Small changes but very close to the original with some improvements and some things changed for the worse.

I was going to completely forget about it when I made a post, but yes, I can safely say Ultima Online is my favorite game of all time. I played that game for years and have so many good/bad memories of playing 24/7 with my friends. Too bad EA had to buy it out and ruin it

Yea, I try to explain this to people in my WoW guild and they're just like...huh? They want to know how it was better when it didn't have instancing and the combat wasn't as advanced. I try to explain it but it was just something about that game that felt like I had become my character and I was living in a new world. WoW and no other mmo ever did that to me. Just things like not having little "!" above quest givers and having to go out and find the quest giver and saying the right phrases in sequence/etc. Or how the players set up trading outposts in the ec tunnels. Plus it was hard to get across the world and if you died it really meant something and was hard to recover from.

ffffuuuuucccckkkkk.... thats a really hard question.... can i do categories?? ok im going to anyway...
Story: Final Fantasy 7
Technology(engine): Half-Life 2(source engine)
Gameplay: World of Warcraft... I know people are going to hate on this, but the fact is, this game is an amazing feat of the minds of thousands of people... it is the most balanced MMORPG of its style, with a great team working behind it, and i have never gotten bored of it in the end...
Graphics: Fallout 3... Not for micro quality, but for its macro quality... bleak, but amazingly envisioned environments with great rendering...
EDIT: If Guild Wars 2 looks as good as it has up to this point in videos and whatnot, then the Graphics section will be changing...

Quake 1 multiplayer. Clan deathmatches in the early days were hella fun.
Other than that, Dark Age of Camelot. Leveling up was no different then other MMORPGs, but the 3 way realm wars once you were max level were the shit.

i wanted to add counter-strike (ive been playing since the very beginning of 1.5 and i still find it crazy fun and addicting)
and also Half-Life. such an epic single player game. (still havnt played through half-life 2 yet, but im sure ill love it just as much if not more once i get around to playing it)
oh and 4player matches on Goldeneye for n64 was so much fun in its time.
my most hours of gameplay overall though have probably went into original Everquest and Counter-strike.

Old games are cool and all but... Crysis 2 (pc of course, fool) is living up to my expectations pretty well.
Old stuff... any Neverwinter Nights vets out there? That game gave me thousands of hours of fun. Red Dragon Disciple/ Weapon master: Double Axe. Massive ass kicking. Although I gotta say the game was cool because you could specialize so much. Once I made a druid that specialized in killing people by inflicting a type of super buffed disease. Cast, turn into animal and run... watch them wither and die because noobs don't put points into constitution. I did a similar thing with a Wizard. Flesh to Stone is an awesome spell. I absolutely loved being able to turn other players into statues of themselves as they were when they got hit.

My all-time favorite game would probably have to be D20 Modern. Followed by Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and LittleBigPlanet. Guilds Wars, too. And all the Call of Duties. And somewhere on that list, RISK.

-Pretty much all the Square titles from the SNES-Mid PS2 era, particularly Chrono Trigger, FF4-FF10, Secret of Mana
-Metal Gear series, each pretty much the best upon their subsequent releases and collectively.
-Castlevania SOTN/ Super Metroid
-Elder Scrolls 3,4, and Fallout 3.
-Really liked KOTOR 1,2 and Jade Empire also.
-Mary Kate and Ashley's Sweet Sixteen Driving Challenge, Spice World.

mine was probably Prince of Persia...
when i was a little kid we had an old DOS comp. i used it to practice typing words. 'dog', 'cat', 'house' etc...
then one day i typed in 'prince' and the game 'prince of persia' loaded up!
awesome.
...then one day i found a button that inverted all the colours on the screen. i wanted to play PoP with inverted colours so kept pushing the button whilst in game...
then the computer imploded and smoke started coming out of the top

The Metal Gear Solid series stole my attention away from the Final Fantasy series. I was first introduced to MGS1 in 1999 and then reintroduced in 2008 after the box set (MGS 1, 2, and 3) came out! The story was unlike anything I've ever played or read before.
Ahhh, good times. Definitely my favorite.

I've played CS since the beta, and dod since 1.1! I played dod a couple of weeks ago too, lol. The only part that keeps me going back is the fact that there are a bazillion custom levels. If only you could have that on consoles...

I've spent more time and gotten more enjoyment out of that game than any other one I've played.
Really, the whole series is amazing.
Except the last one.
Which sucked.
Yeah I regret buying civ 5 :/ it was lowered to like half the price not long after too 
for me: WoW>Baldurs Gate>Oblivion>Diablo 2>Battlefield series
In the mood for a dungeon crawler like Baldurs Gate, are there any new good ones?

anunnakian said: Wow... maybe Half-Life for the best. That is a hard one. Morrowind is definitely up in the top 5 for me. Legend of Zelda Portal (my wife could not be in the room when I played that game, glados' voice creeped her out to much) Quake 2 (I wore that CD out, I beat that game so many times, I think only HL1 comes close to times beaten) Deus ex 1 GTA 3 SA
I know i will miss a couple that really should be up there 
I loved UT99 and CoD MW1 for my favorite online times, but I think that was due to who I was playing with.
Crap I think I need to run through Deus Ex 1 and 2 again and get ready for 3.
helllll yeah Son! someone besides me finally mentions Deus Ex. It's seriously the best game ever made IMO and im not saying that just because the plot involves conspiracy theories. I was into Deus Ex years before I even thought about conspiracies. It only won game of the year in like 100 different publications

JT said: Okay...it's hard to pick one. But pick. One, then do runners up.
For me: stalker, shadow of chernobyl. Perhaps because I played through and completed everything on amps. But the atmosphere of that game in an open world setting cannot be surpassed.
Runners up: dead space, call of duty, world of warcraft
Yeah, its definately a good game, but it was damn too hard for me. When I reached closer to the Pripyat station, I just got killed every time almost immeadetly and eventually gave up. Be it radiation or someones bullets. Never saw the end. I guess my equipment was too poor, but I couldn't go back to upgrade it also.
Anyway, Half Life series rocks! Best story, best humour, everything.
SimCity 4 Deluxe -- to this day it is still widely played, perfect city simulator. Its newer competitors, like Cityes XL etc, don't come even close to it. Sim City has variety that other games don't, perfect managment system and now there are tons of custom made plops also, underground passages, tramways, high-speed rail, canals, etc. Perfect, ageless game.
Contra series on NES. I love it.

I would have to honestly say World of Warcraft. I dont play anymore, but i have some very fond memories from that game. All the nights of just getting stoned and raiding. So much fun at times, but also so much obnoxious bullshit. blizzard is fucked up. TERA online will be amazing. If you guys havent seen it. check it out. Its going to be unreal.

That game is good but not great, for Squaresoft RPGs, I'm gonna have to say Secret of Mana is the best . . .

But my two all time favorite games are R-Type:Final and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night . . .
R:type final is the most artistic, bad ass side-scrolling shooter game and Castlevania: SOTN is an adventure game.
