Mother 3
Super Smash Bros. Project M
Fire Emblem

Those I can think off the top of my head.

The Last of Us, prior Demon's Souls, and before that, Valkyrie Profile 2:Silmeria.

From the most recent that I have played would be the Mass Effect Trilogy as I didn't play them until early 2015, as for most recent release wise would have to be The Last of Us, no gen 8 games so far, although I have still have to catch up to some of the better ones of gen 8.

The original Fire Emblem? How so?

Man, you've been through it all! I wish I was that priveledged to see games evolve all the way from the Intellivision.

Good choices! I actually have Valkyrie Profile 2 on my backlog. Loved the first one a lot.

The most recent would be Bayonetta 2

Fire Emblem Awakening is the most recent for me.. truly a fantastic game

Hm, Fallout 4 impressed me a lot. Witcher 3 is also amazing.

Most recently was The Witcher 3. No game that I have ever encountered can touch TW3's depth. It's insane! The world is huge yet beautiful and varied. There are so many small and individual stories happening that you are guaranteed to forget about the main quest of the game - if but for a few minutes.
Going from Fallout 4 to this - in terms of quests for one example - is like comparing a two year olds' crayon drawing to Da Vinci. Fallout is like "YO HO IM PRESTON GARVEY, I'M DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME AS WHITE PRESTON GARVEY AND FEMALE PRESTON GARVEY AND SYNTH PRESTON GARVEY" - and no matter what choice you make you'll always end up shooting things with guns and fetching material. In the Witcher 3, simply following the main quest shows you all these fully-fleshed out stories from all kinds of places. For example, the sub-plot of Keira Metz, in which she banged me and then tried to kill me within 10 minutes. Or the Crones of Brookback Swamp. Or the plot surrounding Radovid. So much stuff you just want to know more about.

Driveclub still impresses me, and still gives me more content.
The Witcher 3, Amazing story telling, unfortunately mostly in the beginning and lots of repetitive elements bring the open world down.
Fallout 4, Amazing world to explore with tons of interesting background stories, unfortunately a lot of the dialogues are quite bad.
Everybody's gone to the rapture. The only game last year that had a few of those perfect moments where visuals and music come together to give you goosebumps.
Elite Dangerous. It takes a few weeks to get into, lots more to get your hands on the best goodies, yet when you roam around the galaxy it really manages to put in perspective how big of a number 400 billion really is, and how ludicrous it is to assume that there is no other life out there. And that's just our Galaxy.

The last game?  Fallout 4.

I just posted this picture in another thread.  It's just a random thing but it illustrates all the subtle touches waiting to be discovered (or ignored).  I like how it doesn't bang you over the head with them.  A lot of games, they put stuff out there and it's obvious that you're supposed to find them, but Fallout 4 has so much stuff that you might never even come across--and if you do come across them, you might not even understand or think about what you're seeing.  One of my favorite parts of the game is an area where you can read all the terminals, find notes, and put the clues together to learn the fate of a very smart little girl and the settlement she lived in.  You don't meet anyone, no one tells you anything about it, but, if you want to know, it's all right there.  

In another part of the map, you stumble over a fallout shelter for a politician.  Again, you aren't told anything but the puzzle pieces are right there with the bones.  You can see where the common people were locked out and where they rushed the soldiers standing guard.  As I made my way inside, through doors knocked from their frames, I started a tally of the skeletons wearing regular clothes against those wearing uniforms.  That is, until I got to the last door, where an automated turret was surrounded by the bodies of civilians.  They hadn't made it in alive.  I took out the turret and went deeper.  Inside, I discovered that, shamefully, the posh interior would have had plenty of room for more people.  It even included a basketball court.  Of course, that didn't do the lucky survivors much good, however, as a broken wall showed where they hadn't been so lucky after all, since right next door was a Deathclaw nest.

I love subtle stuff like that.  The whole map is FILLED with stories, most of them very sad, but you have to pay attention.  Sure, you can just kill stuff if you like, that's fine, too.  Personally, these little details are why I love exploring.
