| scydrex said: The thing is, the best game of all time would have to be something that is infinitely replayable for me. While I did enjoy Ocarina of Time immensely, I don't think I would have replayed it more than three or four times before the repetition of tasks and environments tired me. Now, put me in a deserted island with a game like Starcraft, Warcraft or Civilization, and I would be entertained for many, many years. Put me with any linear story-based game in a deserted island, and I will be feeling miserable after a few weeks, if not days. Some people would put online games here, such as all the excellent FPS titles like Call of Duty, etc. I personally am not a fan of shooters, but I admit those games are pretty much almost infinitely replayable as well. Anyway, that's my personal criterion for choosing what the BGOAT should be. I respect your right to disagree with me. |
Yes you hit it right on the head with that one. I totally agree. What makes us feel that is of course totally individually.
To me the old great 2d games tend to give me that feeling. They just seem to have such a great "flow". I don´t know how many times I played Super Metroid and A Link to the Past. I never get tired of them. Ocarina I loved while I played it the first time but I haven´t played it since and cannot find any inspiration to do so. Strange, isn´t it?
