Best video game ever played?

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - I had so many wow moments playing this. A very well written and made game!

 

Megaman X!!! (It's really close between a few SNES games)

 

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Sims 2, and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I loved them all for different reasons. Zelda was *the* game that got me into gaming, but I probably clocked more hours on the Sims 2 and Morrowind.

Unlike a lot of Simmers, I enjoyed the premade Maxis families, which hit their peak in Sims 2 with intricate backstories and super-customized homes. In Sims 3, only the Goths and the Landgraabs were remotely interesting. In Sims 4, all of the premades are boring AF and you can tell the developers put scant time and effort into building them.

Morrowind's gameplay mechanics sucked [anyone remember stabbing at a Kwama Forager worm for 30 minutes before it died or spending 2 hours trying to get to the neighboring city?], but the storyline and quests were, bar none, the best I've ever seen. Too many RPGs these days copy MMOs with tedious fetch quests like "kill x# of monsterA" or "find x# of y checkpoints" and the monotony of completing them causes me to rage quit. Side quests should be fun, semi-optional additions to the main quest, not XP-buffing filler BS with no depth in story or variety in gameplay.

I would probably pay $100+ a pop for updated versions of Sims 2 and Morrowind, antiquated game mechanics and all.


EDIT - oh, and how could I forget the KOTOR series?

 

Pretty much any anime fighter. Blazblue, guilty gear, PErsona.

 

Is anybody on wizard 101? That games starts easy and the farther you go it gets really tuff. I have several wizards working through it. My fire wizard is on the really tough part and has progressed the farthest.

 

This might be a bit biased as it's the first ever game i played but x-treme express on the PS2 which is a train racing game.

 

I've always said that Shining Force 2, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Final Fantasy VI were my favorite games--and don't get me wrong, they still are awesome games that I love a lot--but considering all the games I've played since then, I should probably add more to the list or update it. :lol:

 

My top 10 favorite games:

10. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
