What is the greatest game of all time?

Shadow of the Colossus.

thread.

Super Metroid. Though I'd say Shadow Of The Colossus is up there. Top 10 easily.

@bobrossperm: man Super Metroid is so fucking good. Game shows almost zero signs of aging.

Persona 4 Golden

i was actually thinking a few days ago that it might...just might...be the witcher 3.

but the more i play it the more the flaws are showing themselves. still a cracking game and a very strong contender got GOTY in my book though.

if they had just eased off on the hand holding in places and some of the nuts and bolts game mechanics were lubricated with nintendo oil...who knows?

so its still the first deus ex for me. must play that again actually. *sigh...adds to the backlog again and reinstalls it as is tradition*.

@getyeryayasout: surely you jest

lol good one

obviously its LTTP. The perfect game.

How well it's aged compared to everything else is what determined it's greatness to me. To this day there isn't any game with controls as responsive (well, maybe Super Meat Boy). But the connected levels and the way you progress through the game with upgrades still blows my mind. Just the most satisfying game I could ever ask for and I consider it perfect. Really really love that fucking game.

Answer: Jenga on the Wii.

@-God- said:

I agree with Clowney.

Persona 5

Streets of Rage 2. There's no other game that I've had more fun playing by myself and with both friends and family, especially for over 20 years. It's perfect on all fronts.

This!!!

FALLOUT 3

Demon's Souls

The Order 1886.

Judging from peoples' standards around here, the best game would be that with the highest frame-rate, resolution, smartest anti-aliasing and dynamic lighting.

I don't believe you're taking this subjective thread seriously?

On topic,

Planescape Torment

Edit: or Tie fighter

Ikari Warriors

It's a stupid question. It's like asking what's your favourite song of all time? You'll give an answer then change your mind five minutes later.

I've never played The Order 1886 (and don't intend to) but if I answered it would be all based on my long experience of playing games so probably....

Planescape Torment. Loved it, but wait, Morrowind was better. Also Ultima VII was amazing for it's time, how do you choose the best? System Shock, Ultima Underworld.. even Doom 2? Final Fantasy 7 was incredible too.

This should be a top 20 at the very least. Give one answer you will almost definitely change your mind several times and quite possibly still won't get it right.

Edit: already I've forgotten Everquest and Baldur's Gate 2.

@blueinheaven: Preaching to the choir there mate, I've likely forgotten more games than I remember off the cuff but I have been playing video games since 1975.

As you can see from my edit I changed my mind within 10 seconds of posting :)

Mafia 2

Mass Effect 2/3

Chrono Trigger

And best qte's, cutscenes, and face close-ups.

Ultima Online

Super Metroid

Baldur's Gate 2.

All hail Bioware, the greatest game developer of all time.

TF2

Portal 2.

Yup this too. Also add in FF6.

Orcarina of time.

Final Fantasy VII, nostalgia plays a huge part but I've played through this game about once per year and still love it.

Shadow of the Colossus is one of those games that's widely praised because it's widely praised.

So you don't like it?

Tossup between Chrono Trigger and Morrowind

Playing doctor

I don't dislike it.

Fallout: New Vegas.

I agree. So much better than Fallout 3.

What a lawyer type answer lol

I like it.

Oh, why, thank you good sir.

Ocarina

Chuckie Egg.

These would definitely be up there for me, but have to go with Half-Life 2.
