The best game that never made it to consoles

[Guest]

Halo 1-3; you can get that in MCC on Xbone.

 

Assassins creed 2, brotherhood, and revelations are good.

 

Doom 2016 on console is pretty fun.

Shadow of mordor

Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas

Call of Duty. All of them, however MW2, Black Ops 1, and Cod 2 are my favorites. I'd recommend the entire MW trilogy together though. I didn't get too into Black ops 2, and didn't buy Black ops 3. 

Castle Miner Z

Space Marine

red faction guerilla

Super Smash Bros with friends, Warioware with friends, wii sports with friends

Forza motorsport

 

 

 

Other than that I've been out of it.

Skyrim is pretty good too but I have a 360, classic, ps2, ps3, and PC. (I don't think pre-PS1 systems/games count)

In reverse order of release date:

 

NieR Automata (PC) - I love the mouse in a blender fast paced combat, the characters are really interesting, and as in any Yoko Taro game, the storyline and soundtrack are incredible. Easily my GOTY for 2017. I love how it completely changes genres throughout the game too. I forgot how much I used to love playing shooting games back in the 80s and 90s, and this game made me remember how much I loved the bullet hell genre. I still play the NieR Automata soundtrack all the time.

 

Bloodborne (PS4) - This game has the best combat of anything I have ever played. I love the Souls games too but Bloodborne outdoes them by ditching the shields to force a very aggressive play style instead of the defensive one the Souls games encourage. Plus ranged combat is so nerfed in Bloodborne so you can't cheese enemies with arrows or magic the way you can in Souls games. The parry animations are so vicious when you blast someone in the face with your shotgun to setup that nice sawblade to the gut. This game has the most rewarding boss fights I have ever played (especially Orphan of Kos) and is the best game I have played since the early 1990s. Even if every other game on the PS4 was complete shit and this cost $150 I'd still buy a PS4 and a copy of this game.

 

Skyrim (PC) - I found this game so mindblowing in 2011, from the great landscapes that looked like when I had done a bunch of hiking in Grand Teton National Park to the booming choral soundtrack and the fun dragon fights. Skyrim had such a huge open world and felt like a completely different game if I played it one time as a Khajit sneak thief with a bow and a dagger vs another time when I'd be orc with an axe just going guns blazing into every battle. Skyrim has such a dense world that is so much fun to just go explore. All I did was climb mountains for the views the first few hours I played this.

 

Fallout 2 (PC) - I'm a nut for old school turn based RPGs, and this is the best one I have ever played. I loved the violent death animations, watching an enemy (or even myself) get turned into swiss cheese in a hail of automatic gunfire. The VATS system is the best thing I have ever seen in turn based combat, and makes so much more sense in Fallout 1 & 2 vs the fps games since Bethesda got the license. You could shoot kids for pickpocketing you. You could star in porno and have all the hookers on the street catcalling you. You could knock up your boss' daughter. You could get strung out on drugs. The story might be the best ever in gaming. And the 2D art looks amazing in it.

 

Half Life 1 (PC) - This game felt so revolutionary. The action was great and I loved playing a game that told the story in real time without the boring cutscenes that were starting to take over gaming. I so miss old school Valve who released amazing games instead of accumulating fat stacks off other studios' sales through Steam.

 

Zelda A Link to the Past (SNES) - This is the one Zelda game which I felt had a truly great story. It's probably the best looking 2D game I have ever played. The dungeons are so much fun to explore and the score was absolute top notch. While the original Zelda was the first game I played with great open world exploration, this was the one that perfected it.

 

Shinobi (Arcade) - I loved everything about this game, from the killer 2D art to the catchy soundtrack to being able to slice people up with my sword after rescuing enough hostages. It had some really interesting level design despite being mostly a 2D side scroller (there is one stage where you're climbing up and another you're going back down, but otherwise it's a side scroller). I dropped many quarters on this bastard back in the late 1980s.

 

Super Mario Bros (NES) - I think this game is still the gold standard when it comes to platforming. It's such a simple game but the controls are so perfect in it, and the four musical themes in the game are still my favorites in such a long running and incredible series.
