X:3 albion prelude, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2, Wonder Boy, Phantasy Star 2, Fallout 3

Call me unoriginal, but Bioshock would probably be that one game I could call an all time favorite. However, there are a good number of games not too far behind that are some of my favorites as well. In list form, if you will:

1. Bioshock

2. Fallout New Vegas

3. Red Dead Redemption

4. Dark Souls

5. Fallout 2

6. The Witcher 3

8. System Shock 2

9. Deus Ex

10. Mass Effect

This list tends to change, but for the most part, the top five remain the same.

Fallout 3/The Godfather/ GTA SA

I guess http://store.steampowered.com/app/410710/ from 1994, it was the first first-person view game I played that wasn't mindless "kill everyone", but rather a location you could explore as you saw fit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Shock#Legacy. It was also the first game I recall with a "nice" villain you got to known from the start and she talked to you thru the game. In most games before it the villain was just some guy deep in the dungeon you met for the first time when it's time for the last boss battle.

Or simply The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall because it's most likely the game I've spent the most hours playing in my life

For me it would have to be the original 'Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen.' The story, voice acting, and characters were top notch in that game. All the games in that series except for Blood Omen 2 were top notch imo.

It's between


1. TES V: Skyrim

2. Tropico 4

3. Call of Duty: Black Ops

4. TES III: Morrowind


Others I have like are

Fallout 4 (showing very high potential)

Farcry 3 & 4

GTA V

Road Rash

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Rage

Ghost Recon (the original)

Age of Empires 2

Rogue Squadron

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Always has been since the first time I played it, and it most likely always will be. Banjo-Tooie is a close second, though I do consider it the best video game sequel I've ever played given how it improved on every single aspect of Banjo-Kazooie.

Too difficult to pin down to a single game. But I'll list a top 5 anyway. The first on the list is one I'm really surprised nobody has said so far...


Dragon's Dogma (+Dark Arisen)

Skyrim

Fallout 4 (absolutely loving it so far... it is definitely up there)

X3 Albion Prelude (Terran Conflict is also amazing, and I did love Reunion too... So X3 in general I guess)

Freelancer


There's a bit of a theme there. I seem to highly rate games with wide open worlds and RPG elements with an engrossing storyline. While I play huge amounts of Battlefields, COD, Forza and others, the games above are a true reflection of what I enjoy in a game. And with that said and promptly ignored, bonus award goes jointly to The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

Command and Conquer.

Though it's a tough choice between Red Alert and Tib Dawn.

Half life 2 ep1 and ep 2 period!

Skyrim is my personal favorite, I like the atmosphere and the Dovakiin theme that plays when fighting Dragons.

SW:Battlefront on the PS4 is another favorite.

BRINK. Great game, could have really been something if Beth and the devs backed it better.

Morrowind

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

Thief: Deadly Shadows

Fatal Frame 2 & 3

Alien: Isolation

The Secret World

Life Is Strange

Hard to pick a metric that answers the question easily. So I will pick one at random by rolling a d20:


.....


8 - hours played


By far, by several thousand hours at least, is Aardwolf. Been playing it since 1997 and have accumulated over several characters somewhere around 12000-15000 hours.


I still play it but barely. Right now have a tier 1 thief/cleric....maybe a couple more classes (think 4 total) and level 120ish. (1 class is 201 levels, 1 tier is 7 classes....so around 2100 total levels on that one).

I can name a few that are important to me, and no doubt leave out others equally important. But here's a short list.

Morrowind (more hours in that game than any other, I think.)

Planescape:Torment

Baldur's Gate 2

Civilization (several versions)

Alpha Centauri

Fallout 2

Heroes of Might & Magic 3

Oblivion (modded)

My answer is boring, since it echoes so many other postings:

Planescape:Torment

Fallout 1/2

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

Civ 4 with BTS

Master of Magic

Morrowind

Fallout New Vegas

Baldur's Gate 2

Interesting that several people mention King of Dragon Pass. I've got it on gog and I've been meaning to play it for a while.

Dark Souls. I was suprised to see it on RPG Codex's http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=9453 list, on the 14th place.

Alundra

Shadow man

Soul Reaver

Soul Reaver 2

Morrowind

Predator Prey

It's a game played at a nature center where I used to work. 8-10 groups for 10 5th graders each are placed on a trophic pyramid and play a game similar to Capture the Flag and Tag. Played in all weather, in woods, prairie, and grass; stealth, ambush, power of numbers...a great game for kids and advlts who like to be kids

The urge to play 2 is always there. Never finished 3, was too scary.

I can't pin my favorite game down to a single title, but if I were to name a few candidates:

Thief: The Dark Project (Gold edition)

This was probably one of the first 'proper' stealth games I ever played. Part of the reason for its brilliance lies in the stealth mechanics, which somehow manage to be more engaging than most modern sneakers. But what really makes it stand out as one of my personal favorites is the immersion. I can't think of many other games that have immersed me so completely in its world, despite the rather sparse storytelling and setting details. It's true that Thief II improved on some things immensely (especially the level design and stealth focus), but the atmosphere of the original is something that still haunts me to this day.

Dark Souls

This may be cheating slightly as I haven't finished the game and only got into it a couple weeks ago. But much like Thief, Dark Souls is a game that really drew me into the setting. The use of environmental storytelling is subtle, yet manages to create a world that feels much greater in scope than the relatively low budget would suggest. On top of that, the level design is perhaps some of the best I've ever seen in a video game; the different areas all connect to each other in a believable manner while also allowing the gameplay to flow organically - again, storytelling through level design. Like any other game, it has it's issues - the Bed of Chaos not being the least of it - but so far I have to say that I'm immensely impressed with the game.

System Shock 2

I've never been particularly fond of the Bioshock games, but System Shock 2 svcked me in almost immediately. It's also the first time I've played an RPG properly (before that, I used to just dump points haphazardly without understanding how the mechanics worked), focusing on specialization and carefully managing where I used my resources. So System Shock 2 can probably be thanked for introducing me to 'proper' RPGing. Aside from that, it was mainly SHODAN that kept me playing, seeing what she would do next and how she would react to the threats posed to her. Interestingly, I did go back and replay Bioshock again afterwards, but I just cannot seem to bring myself to like that game. I don't even know why, it has everything I loved from System Shock 2 but there's something about it that turns me off...

I've never understood why some have such a low opinion of the third one, in many ways it's the scariest of the series.

Wolfenstein 3D

Age of Empires

Jedi Knight

New Vegas

Mechwarrior 3
