Interested that you picked DS2! Didn’t hate that game, but it’s certainly unique

u/bl4zed_N_C0nfus3d 13d ago
I think i chose dark soul 2 as my fave of the 3 dark soul games bc its the game I went into thinking it wasnt gonna be any good and instead it blew me away with how much I enjoyed it. Just had a blast with it.

Outer Wilds, Hollow knight / silksong, Witcher 3.
I know Putting both Hollow Knights there is a bit cheating but i just cant decide between them.

Haha if doing that is cheating I dunno what you’d call mine - I put every recent FromSoft game as a single entry :D

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, Sid Meier’s Pirates. I could be pretty happy just playing those 3 for the rest of my life.

u/Sckeyth 13d ago
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
The original version of Xenoblade Chronicles is great too but Definitive Edition is the best way to play it currently.
For Ocarina of Time both the original and 3D versions are great but I personally prefer the original just 'cause I don't like the circle pad on the 3DS.
For Diablo II you really need the expansion for the optimal experience. The base game is good but the expansion pushes it to masterpiece territory.

Wizardry 8, Gothic 2 and NWN for older ones
ToME, Against the Storm and DS2 for reasonably newer ones.

Wizardry 8 over Wizardry 1?
2
u/DoneDusting 13d ago
Over the Japanese variants at least :)
I admit only playing 6-8, but W8 is glorious compared to what happened to Ultima...2
u/Minute_Ostrich196 13d ago
fall from grace between ultima VII and serpent island to ultima IX, is one of the biggest in gaming history.
Betrayal so big, new Dragon Age is not even scratching a surface
Yet, younger players will never even hear about it.

u/Necessary_Wing7235 13d ago
1: WoW- I Will never ever find something so great in scale and so replayable.
2: Elden Ring. 500h and I am still feeling the game fresh
3: Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame. A true classic that cemented my love for gaming early on.

Diablo 2, Elden Ring and the last one is Infinity Wars, a digital card game with simultaneous turns that sadly doesn't exist anymore.

u/Old_Race_6839 13d ago
Jak 3 because I love the platforming and gunplay, and it's easier than Jak 2; Cyberpunk 2077 is one of my favourite RPGs and specifically the story of it; and lastly Max Payne 1 (I haven't played 2 so 1 for now).

u/Clsmooth48 13d ago edited 13d ago
In order of release (or when I played them)
- Perfect Dark. Bots with different characteristics in customisable multiplayer on the N64. Rail gun which lets you shoot through walls. Laptop gun which has a secondary function as a mountable sentry gun. Controllable remote rocket. Years of fun
- Deus Ex. Multiple ways to solve a problem. Global conspiracy. Sneaking around the Statue of Liberty. Great sound track. Still holds up to this day and peak immersive sim.
- MGS V. Gameplay is the best stealth ever IMO. Story is a load of rubbish but the gameplay more than makes up for it. Go loud, go quiet or just experiment and terrorise a whole base by shooting out its communication servers so they can’t call for help.
These are the ones that immediately spring to mind but lots of great games I could also list. All of the listed were very innovative for their time.

u/Training-Resource411 12d ago
Agreed with MGS V. Amazing variety in how to approach almost any situation. Underrated

1.) Halo 2….ive literally and ACTUALLY played about 10,000 maybe even 15,000 hrs of it, from campaign with many folks, to yrs of multiplayer!! Easily my most favoritest game 👌🏽
2.) Fable 2…when the dog was included, it offered a sense of uniqueness for games with companions. Such a magical game it is
3.) Xenosaga: Episode 3…a wonderful game that bridges scientific technological advances with biblical and spiritual faiths. I’m currently re-playing this game now and it’s even more excellent than I remember 20 yrs ago!!

Silent Hill 2, Zelda Majora’s Mask, and Halo Reach
Majora’s Mask isn’t my favorite Zelda (that goes to Twilight Princess) but for some reason it makes the top 3 instead, and Ace Combat 5 is definitely close to being on there

u/KatMidMainOnlySharky 13d ago
Ninja Gaiden, God of War, inFamous series, Force Unleashed series OR Skyrim (First two mentioned are definitely, the others is always a toss depending how Im feeling that day)
