Top Video Game of all time...

[Gonzo]

I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Let's do a "Rainman type" poll or two.

Please suggest your ideas for the best game of all time. The news that we might finally get a new Red Dead Redemption game inspired me to do this.

In my opinion, RDR is probably it. However, that's not really fair. I absolutely love several other games but I don't know if I've ever played anything as much as RDR. Maybe Bloodborne or Witcher 3 but it's close.
I'll start us off with a few:

1. Red Dead Redemption
2. Witcher 3
3. Call of Duty; Modern Warfare (I did like the first 2)
4. Grand Theft Auto V
5. Bloodborne


There's a few to get us running. I'll give you guys a few days, maybe a week and we'll start voting.

That and a wasn't there a crazy rail gun of some sort? Been maybe 10 years since I have played.

So, every now and again I'll either mention or go through the plethora of games I own and remember how much I loved something when it first came out. Then I'll play it again and su to myself, "shit, this isn't as good as I remembered."

That isn't the case for a handful of games. One of the good ones I'm playing now is AC Black Flag. It was quite creative with the ship combat and the graphics still hold up.

I have to say that the best game I've replayed recently that still holds up is The Last of Us.

Probably the best story-driven game ever made. It's so perfect with its storyline, timing and the game makes you actually care a lot about all of the characters.

What a ride.

How are the best being defined? Influential? Ground breaking? Go by franchise? Longevity? Nostalgia? Repeat playability? Great multiplayer option? (thats what makes games most fun for me) Combination of all of the above required?

Bill Walsh college football ftmfw.

NBA live '95 was also great

[MMXcalibur]

There are a TON of Super Nintendo classics I could rattle off, but one takes the cake: Secret of Mana

Amazing soundtrack. Loved the ambiance it created when traversing through temples and other lands. I would rent that every single time we went to the video store, no questions asked.

Hmmm.... ill just name a few, alot are older games.

Mario Kart 8 (probably the best game i ever played)
Mike Tyson's Punch out.
Super Tecmo Bowl.
Legend of Zelda
Super Metroid
NFL2K5/APF2K8 Ill just bunch them in. The online play against legit good players was probably the most fun i had in an online game.
Everquest

Im sure there are a few more here and there.

For as bad as they've been at times Black flag was ****ing fun! For a launch title it was very well done. I'll be replaying it at some point. I remember saying damn this ship fighting is improved.

As for the Last of Us that's why it's number one. When you think of a perfect game that's it. Just an awesome job by Naughty Dog.

I don't care about Multiplayer, but for influential, longevity, and repeat play-ability, I have replayed Dues Ex, baldur's gate, and Dungeon keeper in the last two years.

Those games are like good books, I could almost play through them once a year.

And I spent an entire year only playing Civ 4 with Rise of Mankind mod, so yeah..... Shame I didn't have it through steam then, my hours would have been insane. (1100 hours in Civ 5 I don't think would come close to comparing.)

/I did play WoW for like 5 years, so I don't shy away from multiplayer
//Just old enough to remember multiplayer being 4 guys staring a screen yelling "Stop watching my guy you cheater!"
///wasted my freshman year of college playing Halo against the Dorm. First experience with high speed internet. It was glorious.
///First multiplayer experience was the original command and conquer over a dial up. Good times.

My college had to send out a notice to all students in the dorm that they were not allowed to disconnect their computers from the internet and use it on their Xbox instead. We were threatened with punishment if we were caught doing it.

I still did it anyway because the Blood Gulch battles were so much fun.

I'm glad MSU (SMS at the time) never caught on to that.

Cause, as you say, Blood Gulch was a lot of fun.

Halo series
Modern warfare 1&2
Unreal tournament, PC version (flack cannon rules)
Battlefield 1942 - current
GTA vice city - 5


Half life is my #1 , the game that started my love of PC online gaming back when I was running it on an e machine,(E monster had 20 gigs!lol)

Another series I fell in loved with was Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. As it went on I really enjoyed the paths they let you take, particularly this last one for ps3. You can be stealthy, killer and I forget the third pathway. I miss that series.
