So, what is the best game you have ever played and why? Mine would be final fantasy vii. only because I wasn't a big gamer 'till I got into this game. i went to best buy to buy a game, and even though i had no idea what was good as far as games come, i saw the double case of final fantasy vii. my first thought was that i wouldn't know what i was getting into with six previous games of final fantasy, but also thought that it could not be a bad game because there were six other ones. well, I got real lucky picking that game because it is so great and i really didn't know anything about gaming. it's more about nastalgia I guess, but it is still my favorite. what is yours?

there is a difference between the BEST game you have ever played and your FAVORITE game...my favorite game is fire emblem radiant dawn on the WII, but i know that MGS4 is the best game i have every played.

BEST----MGS4
Favorite----Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Chrono Trigger. I played it for the first time in 2000 through an emulator. *spoilers ahead*


Once I found out that I had traveled to the year 600 AD, my mind was blown. I loved that it was the medieval ages, I loved the time paradox, and Dreko (the name for Frog that I used the first time I played) grew on me quickly.

Traveling back to the future only pulled me in further. The mysterious crest upon arrival immediately piqued my curiosity, I really wanted to know what was behind that door, yet I had no idea how much more gaming I had left before I'd be able to open it. The Lavos revelation was awesome, but immediately after that... what happened? Oh yeah, I only traveled to the END OF TIME. Fucking sweet man, who even thinks that there might be such a thing as the end of time?

I only got sucked in further with the Masamune, 12,000 BC, the epic battle with Magus, and all the story revelations that are revealed later in the game. The story is so complex yet it all intertwines so elegantly, it's unreal.


Other reasons that it's my favorite:

- ATB is the best :p
- Great characters
- New game +
- All the different endings



I've easily beaten CT over 50 times, I own it on SNES, PSX, and DS. It's such a brilliant game that I now replay it at least once a year out of principle. I'm only just beginning to grow tired of the game, but I still have things to keep me interested. I've yet to do a no item playthrough, tech only playthrough, no tech playthrough, and so on.

Viva Pinata!!!!

Mass Effect



The most adult game I ever played.
Racial, social, moral, sexual issues.

The best game I ever played for sure (until MASS EFFECT 2).


Runner-ups:
- Shenmue
- Rez

GTA IV, great gameplay, storyline, and characters.

Not even close. MGS4 has to be one f the worst games ever. As a movie it ranks just under FF: Spirits Within on quality. I'm still askng Kojima to pay me 10 hours worth of pay for that PoS game. At least the intermission gameplay was good.

OT:

Hard to choose....

Prolly X-COM.

@nearaf

Play The Witcher, Mass Effect is a iddie game in omparison.

Super Mario Bros. 3, To this day it's still the best game ever made.

then i guess all the games i have played are shitty then, because MGS4 is still the best game i have ever played

Probably.
