Favorite Game of All-Time


Notion

Recommended Posts

Master of Orion 1. Came out in 1993. Was the first game I bought for my first PC which replaced the commodore 64 that broke down, a 486sx with 2MB of system memory and a 117MB HDD, Windows 3.1.

 

It was only a few months ago since I last played it. Though thats when I found a little loop hole which I could expoit to win easily, so it isn't as fun anymore. :)

Wait, are we listing favorite games, or stuck on an island games? They are different. For instance, Rouge really likes MGS, but since its a short, single player only game it probably wouldn't be good to be trapped on an island with- for that you'd want a huge game, like Morrowind, or a multiplayer game.

 

Do mods count? Like, if I choose Morrowind, can I play all the Morrowind mods? You DO have a net connection....

Boy isn't that the truth.

 

Mine is FFVII. It was the first game I played that was that long and had a story. Before that I had mostly played fighters, sports and racing games.:nuts:

Stuck on an island is more interesting. And I guess If I were stuck on an island..with nobody.. for a long time.. I would want DOAXBV.... j/k I'd still take Morrowind, even though I've never played any mods. I have the xbox version, and although there are mods for it, you have to have some pretty high end illegal hardware. :(

I feel sorry for the people who don't have a good enough computer for the Morrowind PC version. I mean its more cost effective for Xbox version but Morrowind PC has Tribunal(They wanted to put it on Xbox but Xbox was not designed to be able to accept expansion packs) and a billion great mods. Xbox version can't even be patched! I hear they still have the Fury bug and everything.

Yeah I'll get a good computer soon... but for now it's MW on xbox, the version where you don't even know how much HP your opponent has! I really wanted my thief chracter to wear a cloaked hood too, but mods aren't on xbox unless you wanna take the illegal route.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

 

Legend of Zelda: OoT is the best game I've ever played.

What I'm saying is, you mostly like the games for nostalgic reasons- if, say, Super Mario 64 was released today, it would get crappy reviews, because its a stereotypical platformer with bad graphics/sound. For example, Vexx has gotten not good reviews. If it was released before Super Mario 64, it would be hailed as one of the greatest games of all time. But its gotten bad reviews BECAUSE its so like Mario, it hasn't moved on, that was released years ago and the genre has developed. Don't get me wrong, there are many old games I love, and some of them(The ones that are more about the writing the the gameplay) would be just as good today(Albeit with bad graphics and sound) but gameplay evolves just as fast, and perhaps faster, then graphics do. I mean look at Ultima 1. Now look at Deus Ex 2. We've come a long way.
