can't pick just one, but
deus ex or half-life 2, played them over 30 times.
fallout 4 too.

Wow. That's. A. Lot.
Great games though. Btw we have some quite similar gaming interests in library and wishlist :)

Same for me. Emotional aspects aside (I love STALKER) it is still the best FPS I've ever played.

I need to play the HL series at some point. Every time this discussion comes up it's mentioned :3

it has the best welcome screens

Deus Ex is also up there among my all time faves; and completely agree on HL2's main menu screens. HL2 has such a cool and minimalist concept with a very well composed live shot of the current level as a backdrop. I don't know why more games didn't just copy the idea.
The latest DX: Mankind Divided uses a similar concept, but it's just the same level throughout (AFAIK):

Just Cause 3 has that as well, the menu shows Rico leaning on a car with the background being the game. When you start playing, Rico stands straight next to the car (which you can then drive). It's pretty cool since it's realtime within the game's engine and world.

same here, i wonder if half life really that good....

Yes you definitely NEED to, especially the 2nd with all dlc of course :)

+1 for Deus Ex (Human Revolution), played it about that many times as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
well, i was referring to the first...
Comment has been collapsed.
You really should, it is incredibly better than Human Revolution when it comes to storytelling and the conspiracy parts of it. Not to mention it has a deeper plot than "OMG AUGMENTATIONS ARE BAD, PEOPLE, AUGMENTATION AUGMENTATION AUGMENTATION".
It does tackle into theological, political and many other topics, while Human Revolution and Mankind Divided seem to have forgotten there's more to a realistic world than just fixating on a very limited subject.

Having a good memory and a large backlog I rarely replay a single player game, rewatch a movie or reread a book but I have to wonder what I missed in Deus Ex & Half-Life 2 - which I also consider a couple of the best games ever made (along with Mass Effect).
Have you considered writing a guide to the details of DE or HL2 or can you give us a quick TL;DR?
Comment has been collapsed.
nah, i'm terrible giving directions, teaching and writing reviews. easier if people just play those games :3

Damn, that's awfully tough to answer ...
Hmm ... off the top of my head, Final Fantasy VII (playstation version) and Bioshock.
Baldur's Gate is right up there, though. :X
Damnit, forgot Goldeneye :O

:D If you want my second opinion I will say that playing to the moon was some experience for me. :)

Oh I completely forgot about Final Fantasy VII. I've never played a game that completely consumed me like that game did. I stayed up all night and set alarms to wake up after a few hours of sleep to play it when I was a kid. I loved Barret. :D

Aeris/Aerith was my first video game "crush" ;_;

World of Warcraft by far. Over 8500 hours played. Haven't touched it since WotLK though.

Same here. Last time I played WOW was before the Cataclysm expansion, which didn't appeal to me at all. Burning Crusade was the best IMHO, as far as expansions go :D

If one is to look at games from 2005 upwards, there is only one game that comes to mind:
Witcher 3!!!!
Comment has been collapsed.
If I had to pick just one.....I would probably say The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It was a pretty divisive game due to the motion controls, but the characters, story, and gameplay were just magic for me. I can't think of another game that I loved as much.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 for me, too. I've tried some of the others in the series, but none of them were quite so much fun.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure, one of this: STALKER CoP, Portal 2, Grim Fandango
Comment has been collapsed.
Rome: Total War and its great mods: Roma Surrectum, Rome Total Realism, Europa Barbarorum etc.

Bully: Scholarship Edition. I just love this game. <3

Warcraft 3, Dungeon Keeper, The Witcher 3, Hitman.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd say the Witcher 3 for a more recent game. Classics I would put up there are Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins were both really good. I'm a Bioware nut. :3
Comment has been collapsed.
I would go for FPS classics like Doom, Heretic and Quake. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yes, Quake with all its maps and mods I played for years!
Comment has been collapsed.
I still play it with the DarkPlaces engine and the Rygel texturepack.
And a lot of good maps, even recent ones, to be found over at Quaddicted.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can't really answer. Too many...
So I go with the nostalgia factor and say Genghis Khan II and/or Dune (not the better known Dune II though).
Comment has been collapsed.
For me, Diablo II with Lord of Destruction expansion, patchlevel 1.09.
As far as a moderately recent game, probably Deus Ex: Human Revolution...or maybe Path of Exile.
Comment has been collapsed.
Path of Exile is really great game and probably the most complex (thus the best for theory crafters) H&S ARPG at the moment. +1
Comment has been collapsed.
Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VIII, Suikoden 2, The Witcher, The Witcher 3, Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 3, The Last Of Us, Gundam Breaker 3, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky...and so much more...
It's impossible for me to pick just one.

I really enjoyed Spec Ops: The Line, but I think my favorite game would have to be Bad Rats: the Rats' Revenge.

I'm alluding you to watch a trailer where epic voice guy gets honest about the Tomb Raider franchise, including the first one that you mentioned. No they didn't have honest game trailers back then, I think they started in 2013 or 2011 dunno. I post because you seem to like it alot and it's not grief. Just watch it http://youtu.be/Qbxj6XQL87I

Referring someone who mentions their favorite games, in a thread in which they were invited to do so, to a site known for ridiculing games is just rude. I understand other people might not like my choice, think it's silly or crap; I feel that way about others' choices. But this is not the place to engage someone directly that way. I'm through dealing with you.

Which video game do you think best video game you ever played?
For me it is the last of us.
