Your Top Five Games of All Time (Reveals the type of gamer you are)

This is just for fun. These aren't necessarily what you think are the best games of all time, but what resonates with you. Your top five games show the type of gamer you've been your whole life.

So for example, if you list

1. Planetside 2
2. Rome: Total War
3. Supreme Commander
4. Red Orchestra 2
5. Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War

Conclusion: you're a Grandmaster of the PC Master Race that likes cutting-edge video games. You also remember having exactly zero friends to play any of those games with.

If you list

1. The Last of Us
2. Uncharted 2
3. God of War 2
4. Batman: Arkham Asylum.
5. Killzone 2

Conclusion: You like big budget character-driven action games. You really like milk.

If you list

1. L.A Noire
2. GTA IV
3. Mafia 2
4. Heavy Rain
5. Alan Wake

Conclusion: You are the Anti-Christ. May God have mercy on your soul.

Would love to see what you guys come up with. Until you list your top five properly you won't really be able to see what type of gamer you are. It should be a revelatory experience. Self-depreciating comments are not necessary, but very much appreciated.

I'll start:

1. Shenmue 2

1. Half-Life 2
2. Bioshock

3. Pokemon Gold/Silver
4. God of War II
5. Final Fantasy IV

2 Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II (Mega Drive/ Genesis)

3 Shining Force series (Mega Drive/Genesis)

4 Sega Rally Championship (Saturn)

5 Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn)

That's the 5 I could think of off the top of my head, and if asked tomorrow I would probably change 1 or 2.

So what does that say about me, well it says I've been around gaming for a long time, and that I think gaming in the last dozen or so years has been average at best.

Sure, why not?

1. Dark Souls
2. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
3. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
4. Fate/Stay Night
5. Ys: Origins

Conclusion: I tend to like action games that emphasize skill, but discourage a combo system. I also tend to like story based games with a quick pace, intelligent encounter design, or a lot of choices.

I don't have to read TC's list to know what kind of person he is:

...but aren't we all...

anyhow I seriously can't answer that question that's like asking me to choose which of my parents has to die

@Aljosa23: coming from the dude who says he likes blade runner more, but alien is a better movie.

conclusion: you are awesome

if I could come up with a top 5 list, this would most definitely be in it... just can't figure out the rest

1. Shenmue 2

2. Fallout: New Vegas

3. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

4. Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

5. Tales of Vesperia

@jg4xchamp:

Morrowind

Chrono Trigger

Final Fantasy VI

Half Life 2

Red Dead Redemption

[10/16/2015 10:41:30 PM] Gagan: Alien or Blade Runner

[10/16/2015 10:42:02 PM] Aljosa: im gonna be that guy right now and say Alien but i prefer bladeu runneru

Hold this L, bitch.

Uncharted 2

The Last of Us

GTA San Andreas

Counter Strike

Mass Effect 2

1. Mass Effect 2

2. God of War II

3. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

4. Fire Emblem: Awakening

5. Halo: Reach

Lising only one game per series here, otherwise GoW 3, ME3 and AC 2 would all be in there as well.

I seriously can't make a list like that. I have trouble comparing games across generations. Impact fades for me if a game improves on what come before it.

Having said that, I have to say that Super Metroid, A Link to the Past, and the original Pikmin have aged gloriously and remain as enjoyable today as they did over a decade ago.

On a more recent note, there were 4 games last gen that stood out above all else

• Donkey Kong Country Returns
• The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
• Batman Arkham City
• Ultra Street Fighter IV

1. Warcraft III

2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

3. League of Legends

4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

5. Fallout 3

I wish I could add more, I guess honorable mentions would be Final Fantasy VII, Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Dragoon, & Pokemon.

1- Parasite Eve

2- Majora's Mask

3- Super Metroid

4- Neverwinter Nights

5- Fatal Frame 2 (or Project Diva f 2nd)

I have no idea what this says about me

• LTTP
• Halo 2
• Skyrim
• Deus Ex
• Super Metroid

those are the first that come to mind.

1. TLOU
2. MGSV
3. Kotor
4. Mass Effect
5. Fallout 2
6. Loz Windwaker
7. The Witcher 3
8. Warcraft 3 + The Frozen Throne
9. Skyrim
10. C&C 3 Red Alert

Conclusion: You had a great taste in games, before you fell into a coma in 2006.

Conclusion: you think the first games in a franchise are the best, but you still admit the first Mass Effect is a bit of a turd.

1. Uncharted 2

2. TLOU

3. Bloodborne

4. Shadow of The Colossus

5. Socom 2

Conclusion: You are senpai.

Top 5 5 skyrim&tales of vesperia 4 Bloodborne& xenoblade chronicles 3 Residnt evil code veronica & last of us 2 RDR& GTAV 1 ninja gaiden&shenmue

You also hit it and quit it on the second round. Four of your games are the second releases in a series.

Conclusion: If sequels never existed, it may have been a lot easier. And you may had a life.

This is so beautiful haha, 10/10.

Conclusion: You have to stand in court defending The Master Chief Collection. While people question how long you've been gaming for.

Conclusion: All your friends brofist you when you mention your favourite games, until they have to ask what the **** Penumbra is.

Conclusion: You get into passionate discussion as to why Final Fantasy IX is your favourite one. Every time.

Conclusion: You tell all your Steam friends you don't own an Xbox 360, but you really do.

Conclusion: You also tried to get one of your plebian friends into Dwarf Fortress. You swore it would be fun.
