Forums - Gaming - which game this gen has made the most impact on u ?

FFXIII, Demon Soul's was close 2nd because it was so weird, and good. (And I got a big sword, that's a necessity :P)



Around the Network

while uncharted, lbp, and heavy rain would all be very good answers for me...

rock band...this game has redefined how i hang out with friends which apparently is the most important measure for me (at the time of posting xD).



Super Mario Galaxy - Redefines the splendor of platforming.

Gof of War III - Epicness

Like CGI said games impact me on several different fronts too so I'll divide up my fronts:

Story -- MGS4......just no words..more than story the way it was told, each moment of the game is amazing for me. I can never forget bashing the triangle button on the controller during the microwave scene hoping snake would just move an INCH closer to the room at the other end....it made me care for that character.....it gave me a feeling of urgency with the battle outside being shown on the other screen, it was an amazing moment.

Gameplay -- FFXIII.....after 14 years I can truly say I was REALLY addicted to a RPG's battle system & wanted more & more....the last time such addiction happened was Pokemon Gold. Loved the paradigm system.....loved the satisfaction of changing roles every 10 seconds. Also when I used to play FF7/8/9 I used to always imagine the way the characters may carry out their ATTACKS....it couldn't just be .....go up to the monster, hit. FFXIII delivered on that imagination and really the way I imagined monsters and my warriors would fight and attack the monsters came to life in front of me....seeing the characters going and twisting turning while fighting, launching moves. Fantastic.

But finally as a GAME overall:

It was actually the Phoenix Wright series......I had never played games like them before and I got crazily addicted to them in a way I never expected to be. I went in thinking they were some niche anime style game BUT boy was I wrong. What I got was some of the most compelling stories, with really classic music & a very polished game with likeable characters (Gumshoe FTW)!

Expectations weren't blown, they were bombarded out of the water

That microwave scene in MGS4 you listed was easily one of the scenes I hated the most.  They make you bash the triangle button for too long I can remember just wanting it to be over and thinking if I died I wasn't going to attempt it again for a while not until my fingers were well rested. Luckily I got through it on my first try.



mgs4 was a true gem, didnt like the microwave scene at all or the ending fight. but the other boss fights i loved and would glady play this gem at least once a year if not more.

Around the Network

COD: World at War I had played Modern Warfare , but never got hooked. I always played online deathmatch in other shooters, but after world at war I relized that social gaming is king and I no longer enjoy single player games as much.



MGS4 or LBP I suppose. For the innovation and cinematic story telling.

Although recently GOW III made me rethink what was possible this gen.



 

Metal Gear Solid 4



Kinda funny that you mention the button mashing scene. I actually beat that 1/1 in MGS1. Friend of mine had a SUPER difficult time with that.



Demon's Souls - this nearly perfect feeling of weight and terror just makes it one of the most immersive games I played

Everybody's Golf: World Tour - the funnest and best online community I've experienced paired with a very deep and challenging gameplay makes this one my favorite sports game I've ever touched

and probably

Civilization Revolutions - I never tried Civ before and now I can see why people are addicted and I fear I'll be addicted once 5 releases .. *sigh*
