What is a top 10 list of your favorite games?

[InMiseryWeSeekPancakes]

What is your list of your utmost and absolute favorite games, for me?

 

1. Doom ( reboot 2016 )

2. Pokemon Emerald 2004 for gameboy advanced

3. Hexen ( this game was practically my childhood ) 1996

4.Duke Nukem 3D 1996

5.Quake ( I guess you could say I’m a “Champion” at it if you know what I mean  ( pun intended ) ) 

6.Diablo II ( 2000 ), Diablo 1 ( 1998 )

7.Age Of Empires 2   1999

8.Team Fortress 2 ( have like... fuck 4500 hours on this game, what the fuck? ) 2012

9.Half Life 2

10. Half Life 1 

 

These are not only my favorite games but, games I keep on coming back too over and over again. I just really like these games and I still play them do this day and age despite the age I played them as ( the majority, and young! ) and the year they were released which I provided. But I already know my favorites I am incredibly curious and I might try out some new games, what is your opinion?

[Crunchy Dragon]

Have I played 10 games...?

I've definitely done that, but I probably couldn't put them in a numerical order.

 

10 of my favorite games, though:

1. Lego Universe. If you haven't heard of this game, you really missed out.
2. Cave Story. Wonderful story, dialogue, soundtrack, everything.
3. Minecraft. Overall pretty fun.
4. Fortnite. Don't @ me. Seasons 2-3 were definitely better than current though, in quite a few ways.
5. Portal.
6. Portal 2. The Portal games overall are brilliant, 2 is a little bit more enjoyable in terms of dialogue though.
7. They Are Billions. Fun concept, gameplay, and Numantian absolutely nailed the soundtrack.
8. Goat Simulator. Need I say more?
9. Rocket League. Recently picked it up, it's pretty enjoyable.
10. Space Cadet Pinball. Enough said.

[WereCat]

In no particular order... But its hard to decide. So I will list old games that I really enjoyed and new games in a separate list. 

 

 

Old:

1.) Operation Flashpoint

2.) Mafia

3.) Giants: Citizen Kabuto

4.) Age of Empires II

5.) GTA Vice City

6.) GTA San Andreas

7.) Half-Life series

8.) Portal series

9.) Serious Sam (The First and Second Encounter) 

10.) Heretic

 

Newer:

1.) Metro series

2.) Witcher series

3.) Dust an Elysian Tail

4.) Ori and the Blind Forest

5.) DOOM

6.) Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2

7.) The Talos Principle

8.) Rocket League

9.) Arma 3

10.) Tomb Raider

 

[JZStudios]

Dunno that I could necessarily do a top 10 but... and certainly in no particular order... mainly just games I remember well and replaying a lot.

1. Halo.                                                  Every Bungie one.You can ALWAYS return to it and have a blast. The only thing it's really actually missing is the ability to sprint. Halo 3 still blows my mind with details.

2. Metal Gear Solid 3.                            You're wrong if you disagree. 4 was decent too and 5 had solid gameplay.

3. Medal of Honor 2010.                        Something about just being gritty, realistic, and not being too afraid of making the Taliban the bad guys. I'll also never forget the first time I played the game. A few missions actually. Some absolutely awesome moments in it. I wish they did the campaign for Battlefield, especially with all the AMAZING MOH stories in WW2.

4. Witcher 3.                                           First Western RPG that I actually managed to play through without getting bored and quitting.

5. Burnout 3 and Burnout Paradise.      This genre needs to come back.

6. Need For Speed 3 Hot Pursuit.          Wish I could play it again somehow.

7. Mafia 2                                               The most immersive open world crime game I know of. GTA wishes they could touch it.

8. Alan Wake                                         The story. Gameplay was meh and much better/easier with cheats for infinite battery.

9. Persona 4                                          Waifu wars begin.

10. Battlefield 4                                     Mostly because me and a friend spent thousands of hours in it.

Not in order, too difficult to place them in order

 

Overcooked series (builds and breaks friendships at the same time)

Valkyria Chronicles (mobile console ones are crap though)

Sniper Elite series (for those prefer killing without being seen)

Icey (must abuse the narrator)

Serious Sam series (classic shoot 'em all)

The real Metal Gear Solid games, not the fake ones. Need I explain?

An indie game I forgot the name. It's about the player participating an online test of a software, by following the supposedly the app's developer's orders. There's another software called the Duck which was supposed to punish you for not following orders, but turns out to be against the developer. You can either cooperate with the developer and be a good tester, or do the opposite. Yup, another abuse the narrator game

BeamNG drive. Crashing my car in reality is painful, crashing one that's simulated in software isnt.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: repetitive, quite demanding on hardware power and driving physics does not resemble reality at all. What makes it good is the gun handling.

Really? I played it for like 10 minutes just doing random stuff. Is there any objective?

I played it, personally I don’t really care for it; truthfully I find it boring to say the least I suppose.

Never played revenge. Only had 3 and Paradise.

Oh, and the PSP one, whatever that was called. Basically a mashup of the first 3-4 games.

I hated it. Well... the shooting mechanics. The levels are fairly open ended, the story is convoluted but acceptable, but holy hell the shooting mechanics and trying to knock dudes out from behind were just absolute garbage. Never really worked consistently.

It's kind of like the original Splinter Cell. You're this bad ass ex Navy SEAL NSA secret agent but you can't shoot a light bulb from 6 feet away to save your life. You just end up standing in place trying to knock a light out and using all your ammo.

 

The newer Deus Ex games were pretty good though.

I agree for the most part. 2000-2010~ had the best combination of having to create games with interesting technique & having the hardware to run crazy ideas. 

Before then, hardware held people back and now, it’s too easy & people can finish making the game later.

*1990-2010

 

gaming hit a particular milestone in the 1990s that was absolutely astonishing, for an entire decade nothing but absolute joy came out of developers games, graphics were adapted like never before and it only kept evolving. Nowadays its just the same old shit, over and over again. And then theres fucking fortnite   

Don’t get me wrong its not like I don’t think no-one should play games because obviously I enjoy them greatly, but when like fucking millions of 9 year olds cuss at there fucking mom because they need to eat food its absolute bullshit. Kids used to go outside, play, or actually focus on there future occupation and yes with some games in the middle but not this shit, plus the entire community is cancer and these “fortnite memes” are horrible only 8 year olds find them amusing or some middle age man trying to regain his youth watches it because he has a 8 year old mentality.

 

"Before then, hardware held people back and now"

 

tell that to lgr or 8-bit guy

that is false,

your making a subjective statement that era is where it all unraveled similar to a caterpillar into a butterfly, that day and age wasn’t a time of development, it has already passed that; and even then still they were still finding new ways to hit people with awesome graphics, take a look at doom for an example and then unreal tournament Unreal torment

doom

It basically no time games went from look like doom to unreal t. 

It was one of the greatest eras in gaming history to say its can not even be included in “ era of having

 best combination of having to create games with interesting technique & having the hardware to run crazy ideas. 

Before then, hardware held people back and now, it’s too easy & people can finish making the game later. “ never mind the best is absolute shit.

 

hardware will always hold us down, there will always be a possible program or a program that exists thats probably the funnest in the world but won’t run, sometimes its due to unoptimiztion sometimes its due to hardware.

Saying that it was only “before then,” is crap. "The rtx 2080ti won’t let me play 8k witcher 3 with ray tracing on and ultra high preset? What gives? “ its because the hardware isn’t fucking advanced enough but that still doesn’t determine how awesome a game might be.

@InMiseryWeSeekPancakes the 90s did have a lot of great games. 
Considering the scale of some 90s games compared to 2000s games, I'm thinking about how games like Dawn of War (2004) was able to sponsor large scale battles with 3D models, blood, persistent bodies & more with the mainstream hardware available. 

 

Doom had persistent bodies & unreal were great games. I would say that the late 90s and early 201Xs were qualified as part of the 2000-2010 era. Games like System Shock were great games that did a lot to achieve their goals. I simply feel that the mid 2000s gave the developers just a bit more freedom to execute their ideals. 

 

The 80s and 90s had tons of great passion projects like Oregon Trail, Fallout 1 & more. However, Oregon Trail's systems were quite limited requiring the use of random generation for most of the game's content. Additionally Fallout 1 did have a lot to the game though it was quite linear

Spoiler

Somewhere in this video:

 

Fallout 3 by comparison had more immersive behavior because the hardware permitted better graphics that can arguable be said to hold up today & permitted a lot more options for Role Playing. Fallout 1 was built for hardware that didn't have enough resources to allow a first person perspective on that scale. Additionally, they had a lot of creative freedom & expressed a lot of ideals. The issue is that the game was quite limited in what it actually had. 

 

I will never say the games from the 90s were terrible. I feel the 90s really inspired and build the games from the 2000s. It was the creativity & senior member that made games in the 90s that helped the 2000s become so great. The only reason why I don't say modern gaming is as good is because the online technologies maturing in the 2000s lead business members of gaming companies to learn to exploit them to the loss on the consumers end. 

 

There are still great games today & there were great games before the 2000s. Many of the best games & series from the 2000s were being developed in the 90s. Key titles include
Halo

World of Warcraft (The Warcraft IP began in the 90s)

Half Life 1 & 2

Fallout

Elder Scrolls
Grand Theft Auto

Super Smash Bros

Arma

Mechassault

Counter Strike

Civilization

and many more. 

With the humble & creative beginnings in the 90s, & the hardware advances, the 2000s brought about the best & definitive editions to many games.

Well you have to regard the fact that the majority of us probably don't have ps4's even then though probably we don't have the game or ultimately have games that we prefer more over that. Im sure there is a huge group of people that agrees with you, sadly not in this forum as of right now. Just want to know your opinons though. If you consider it your favorite I would be happy to give it a go, fuck I might like it.
