For this topic what is your favorite game of all time? One you have fond memories with and will never forget.
 
FF7

Best game ever, takes me back to 1997, one of the best years of my life.

Even to this day, i long to return Midgar, i think about buying a new console just so i can play it, one more time.

Apart of me however, just wants to let it go, the moment was had.

Some of my fave scenes, from the first minute to where i got hooked.


i've yet to see an opening like that with matched levels of epic.

I agree ff7is one of the best off all time. For me it would probably be a tie between ff7, ff9 or metal gear solid. Possibly REmake might squeeze in there.

Metal Gear Solid or Deus Ex. I can't decide between the two. They're both just so perfect.

Maybe I'll go with Deus Ex since its a series that knows when to slow down and not retcon its own storyline to hell.

Halo: CE was the first game I played with a narrative that really grabbed me. The world seemed vast and mysterious. I'd never played a game where you could pick up alien guns or drive any vehicle on the fly. All the guns were strange-looking and mysterious. I remember the first time I picked up a Needler and fell in love with just how different and bizarre it looked. I was amazed at how I could just hop in a car and drive it on the fly, or man a turret. Every game I had played prior had been a driving game, an adventure game, or a shooting game. Never a combination of the 3.

The level where you first encounter the flood terrified me. I binge played through all of the pure flood levels during an all-nighter at a friends house and it's one of the fondest memories I have in gaming. Period. Then after I'd bored myself playing campaign, Halo: CE lived on through LAN parties and Xbox Connect. We spent hours upon hours glitching the game and getting outside of levels. The sheer level of enjoyment I got out of Halo: CE is what made me buy Halo 2, 3, ODST, and Reach just because I longed to have such an enriching experience again. I didn't really stop playing it until 6-7 years after it came out, which says a lot for a game that did not have online support. I don't consider Halo: CE to be the best game of all time, but it's definitely the one that impacted me the most personally.

Runner ups for personal favorite game in no particular order:
Super Mario 64
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

It's a shame none of the later games were able to be as awesome.

Except ODST. THAT was great. The fact that it had all of 3's maps made Halo 3 even more ****ty.

I don't think I've ever played a multiplayer game for as many years as I did with Halo 3. I didn't even play Reach all that much.

Thanks. Also thanks for bothering to read it all. Lots of people see a paragraph and run for the hills.

I agree. None of the sequels delivered on the same level as the original. ODST did come close because it made the covenant scary again. The levels were a bit more fresh and you weren't the indestructible green machine for a change. It was a step in the right direction, but I still could not connect to it on the same level as the original. It's probably just that I can't unsee and unknow everything about the halo universe. ODST had a better campaign than 2, 3, or Reach, though. I'll give you that.

Right. The only thing that could match the levels of FF7 would be an remaking.
