Stalker is by far the best shooter I've ever played. I'll be 70 soon and started with Doom.

I still like Fallout new vegas and skyrim more at this point, with skyrim being the best for me. Fallout 4 is great but it doesn't svck me in as the other two. Let's see if future content changes that.

That would be Rome Total War.

FO4 is maybe a step behind Skyrim (that's not a bad thing), but fairly significantly better than Oblvion, FO3, and FONV.

I know comparing FO4 to like Oblivion is comparing apples to oranges.

I was thinking mangos and papayas myself

Dragon Age Origins is here to say hello as the best game ever made.

Still i think Fallout 4 is a really great game, flawed, but great, and most importantly a huge improvement on Fallout 3 in almost every aspect.

Indeed its a damn fine game with some nice mods that can only make it better (graphics mods). I mean they're still releasing 1/35 scale models of that game after all this time so theres still a lot of love for it.

There is a problem with Clear Sky though; I have the version that comes with Call of Pripyat, that installs ok but whenever you install Clear Sky it tells you to insert the correct disk even when you have done. Means I needed to buy another copy of the game from Steam or Gog or something.

Now to swing it back on topic: Yeah Bethesda games are occasionally riddled with bugs and glitches, only some of which are completely game breaking but I've never had a Bethesda game tell me to insert the correct disk. No matter how buggy Bethesda games can be theres always somebody worse off.

Picking a classic that everyone loves? How original of you

Well no, but none of us are going to be around for the invention of the holodeck.

Psh, Plebs. [Insert game] is the best game ever made. Not FO4.

I have not played a vanilla game in years. I have 3 up, including Lost Alpha, Oblivion Lost 3 and Narodnaya Solyanka. the last may be the hardest game ever made.

bye

Sorry, best game ever made would be to hard for me to choose. But, all of them would be on the NES, or the SNES... Not any of this new watered down easy mode crap that has came out in the past 10 years...

I do love me some fallout though

Best game ever: Battletoads!

Shameless ripoff of a popular franchise? Absolutely!

Mind-numbingly eat-your-controller hard? You betcha!

Crap production value? Only barely-adequate will do!

What's not to love? 3rd-tier gaming at its best.

I'd hardly say everyone loves it. No one under 30 has played it anyways.


Viva Pinata is my #2 pick

i agree this is a great game i love i even with its flaws , what i do not like is bethesda slowly turning into another greedy cideo giant that only cares on how much money they make than what their customers wish i am talking about the 2 u^coming dlc s , their refusal to launch the creationkit if they had nobody would buy these dlc and in all honesty theey are only glorified mods the copied from previous fallout and skyrom mods with some extra s nothing the modding community could have done as good and for free

and the whole seasonpass thing

if this was EA or ubisoft they would never hear the end of it but most of us are just ignoring this because it is bethesda , that is just being hypocrite

Well i am 27, 28 in a couple of days and i've played it, but true enough i don't know anyone else around my age that has actually played it. Viva Pinata, now that is Interesting.

I'm still torn between this and Skyrim for my favorite Bethesda game. My top five all time favorites would probably be:

1. Mega Man Powered Up (maybe for sentimental reasons, but it's still the biggest and best Mega Man game)

2. Either Fallout 4 or Skyrim. Probably Fallout 4 after all of the expansions and patches, at this rate.

3. Chrono Trigger

4. Crash Bandicoot 2

5. A Link to the Past

Best game of all time will have to be decided 300-400 years from now. Bethesda's most influential is probably either Morrowind or Skyrim - Morrowind because that's when RPGs noticed, or Skyrim because that's when everyone noticed.

Im hard to please when it comes to this stuff and really Fallout 3 was my first real love for gaming, and now fallout 4 has knocked Fo3 to second

Thanks Beth and Fallout devs!

bethesda games, with the exception of brink, have their own genre really. there is no other games out there that even come close to the rpg's that they make.


everyone has their own opinion as to what is "best", and that's why we're so fortunate as gamers to have all these choices.


every game listed here, (including battletoads!) is a gg in it's own respect. i have alot of memories through the years, starting with a coleco-vision and commodore64. yes, i was blessed early on with the luxury of a console and the difficulty of a pc.


both had different styles of play but they catered to one thing; gamers.

so what does any of this incoherent blabbing have to do with the topic? not a damn thing!


half-life 3 confirmed!

Yeah, this is probably my thought too. Love FO4, and at times it's been the most fun I've had gaming, but Skyrim is just epic (and huge). It's really close for me though, and maybe the DLCs will cause me to reconsider.

I would be hard pressed to pick a "best game ever" since I've been playing since 1978 and onwards. One thing I can say for sure tho, is that the game that cost me the most in terms of coins, would be "Blue wizard, your lifeforce is running out!!" in 4 man co-op on this machine; http://www.findarcademachines.com/gauntlet-four-player-arcade-machine-p-1164.html

100 % agreed with fallout 4. The reason for Fallout is that i never play other games that has so much freedom. It not just go there do that kill him. It is so musch more and more to come with the sping DLC`s and, maybe skyrim on a good second.

Best story for games I think Witcher 3 and Red dead redemption are the best.

I had played open world games before playing Morrowind around 2004. Zelda Ocarina of Time was pretty interesting, and I quite enjoyed Freelancer.

But Morrowind...You mean I can make any kind of character I want, ever? You mean I am not forced to do a main quest, I can literally bugger off to the other side of the map and completely ignore it? That the world is way bigger than N64 carts would allow, and there's actual land to traverse with hundreds of people to talk to, and not just docking at stations to get a canned bit of info from a handful of NPCs?

It completely blew the other open worlds ive played out of the water. There was nothing like it. Even today, I am still just as amazed with Fallout 4 as I am with Morrowind. Sure, everything seems a lot more normal nowadays after all these years and growing up from being a kid, but seeing distant landscape and knowing that its not a backdrop, that there's a whole world of adventure waiting for me out there, and that I can engage it on my own terms. That never really ceases to be completely awesome.

I wonder if anyone's built up a timeline or family tree of open world games. Tabletop RPGs branch out into stuff like Ultima and the original Legend of Zelda, which feed into Arena and Daggerfall, and eventually Morrowind creates the modern model for open-world RPGs... and then Skyrim convinces Ubisoft to go open-world with their franchises, as well as influencing Dragon Age and the Witcher to open up.

you lot need to give your heads a 'wobble' - best game ever.......................................PONG!!
