Best Game Ever

[OperatorOperato]

Alrighty guys. I'm a seasoned gamer and I can go wayyyyy back to NES. But.....

What is the best game ever?

I'm stuck between Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, and Mario 64.

[CTMarshall]

Ocarina of Time for sure. cannot be beat.

[unwritten]

Typical answers.

[Smash Adams]

Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis is the best video game ever.
I disagree. It's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best video game ever.
Donkey Kong sucks!
You know somethin'? You suck!

[pshh]

tetris.

[CTMarshall]

oh...and Oregon Trail

[elenar011]

final fantasy 7.

[cscwell107]

oh...and Oregon Trail

Oregon Trail was the shit. I used to play that like everyday. I think the best game ever though is Super Mario Bros. 3

[colorlesscliche]

Cod4.

[a speedo model]

Grand Theft Auto 3

[onemoresong]

original super smash bros./mario kart

[_jonas]

Metal Gear Solid without a doubt will always be there.
Amazing storyline, amazing gameplay, amazing environments. Perfect in every single way to me.
I didn't even mind Raiden.

Spyro & Grand Theft Auto are runners up.
Maye FF7 but I'm too ashamed to admit it. Too addicting that game was.

[BJW7191]

easily hands down loz oca. of time


followed by super mario kart
mario rpg
cod4

[mcfly21]

duh, pokemon red

[_jonas]

Red was the best of any Pokemon game. THE BEST!

[mcfly21]

Red was the best of any game. THE BEST!

*fixed

[_jonas]

Well played.

[BJW7191]

i liked red too

[fluke182]

My faves are FF8, KotOR 1, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, FFIV, FFVI, and Counter-Strike (preferably 1.3). All of those are acceptable answers to me.

[_jonas]

Tactics is way underrated.

[JesusV2]

Blue > Red

And I'd probably say Blue

Or Halo for the memories

[_jonas]

Now if we were speaking Weezer, this would be true.

[ZeroGravity107]

Super Metroid / Metroid Fusion / Swat 4 / Final Fantasy II/IV (whatever you call it) / Mafia

[onewheeledrider]

Halo deuce

[JustSway]

Kid: Mortal Kombat, on Sega Genesis, is the best video game ever.
Billy Madison (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001191/): I disagree, it's a very good game, but i think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.
Kid: Donkey Kong sucks.
Billy Madison (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001191/): You know something? YOU SUCK!

[Freeride]

Golden Eye - DK Mode

I think just about everyone in this thread would be more then excited to play Golden Eye right at this moment with someone.

[kwsqd]

I'm going to be the loser that says Kingdom Hearts
No game has ever made me as emotional as that one



EDIT
Blue is better then all

[unwritten]

And Goldeneye is not the best game ever. Go back and play it. Shit is atrocious.

[unwritten]

A Link To The Past > Ocarina of Time

[Hojonny]

HALO!!!!!

jk. I would go with "Crash Bandicoot"

[whoaisame]

If I absolutely HAD to pick ONE game it would have to be Metal Gear Solid 1 for Playstation. But there are multiplayer games like Halo that I probably have gotten more long term enjoyment of out of. Theres also a ton of older games that don't stand the test of time but that I loved. But yea, Metal Gear Solid.

[billyboatkid]

FF7 no competition.

[whoaisame]

And Goldeneye is not the best game ever. Go back and play it. Shit is atrocious.


Yea, its bad now. But that was the best game ever at the time, no question about it.


O, and also, NHL 94 for Genesis is the best sports game ever, period.

[c_rob2700]

Not counting anything before the PS2/XBOX/GC because Ocarina of Time is the obvious answer

PS2: Jak 3, God of War 2
XBOX: Halo 2
GC: Super Smash Bros. Melee
Wii: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy (so far)
PS3: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (so far)
XBOX 360: Halo 3 (so far)

and Bioshock is one of my favorites of the new generation, as well as Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2

I continue to be the one person who doesn't think Ocarina of Time is anywhere near the best game on the 64, let alone the pre PS2/GC/Xbox generation. I don't think I'd even put it in my top 10, but to each their own.

[Kif]

Fun fact: The only Zelda games I've played are LA on the Game Boy and TP on the Wii. Both were shit, not really interested in playing any others.

Oh well, here's my legit list:

Lemmings
Sonic 2
Gunstar Heroes
Tomb Raider 2
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy VIII
GTA3
Gears of War

[c_rob2700]

to be honest i've never played any Zelda games outside of TP. i just figured it would win by default. ill post a more legit list later.and on a different note, I think when its all said and done the 360 will be known as the greatest console of our generation because of the massive amount of great games

[nhoium]

Super Mario Brothers 3
Half-Life 1/2
BioShock
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
MORE IMPORTANTLY -- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Pokemon Red/Blue

Super Metroid
Resident Evil 4 (soon to be eclipsed by Resi. Evil 5)
Original Soul Caliber (Dreamcast)
Street Fighter II
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron


JUST a short list of my favorites/the best, haha.

These.
A Link to the Past is such a great game.

Plus: Okami. Super Smash Bros. Mario RPG

[nhoium]

Gears of War

Great game but the campaign was a little short for my taste.

[c_rob2700]

N64: Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie.
PS1: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Metal Gear Solid
NGC: Super Mario Sunshine
XBOX: Halo 2
PS2: Jak 3, God of War
Handheld: Pokemon, Golden Sun

And the best so far of the new genration
Stupid Piece of Shit: Super Mario Galaxy (1/5 only playable games on the "Revolution")
PS3: Resistance: Fall of Man, Metal Gear Sold 4, Bioshock
XBOX 360: Halo 3, Gears of War, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Bioshock.



so basically the same as the old list but oh well

[JustSway]

I'm not sure if its been said a lot in here, aside from the post above mine, but Golden Sun ranks as one of my favourite games of all time. Its a great RPG and makes me wish I still had it, I lent it to a friend to go to Wales with and never got it back, now I don't even own a game boy haha, I'm so tempted to eBay one.

I had Golden Sun on my list

Hence why I said aside from the post above mine, which would be your post...

Love Golden eye. But think i would add final fantasy X and RE 4.

[anamericangod]

Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VII

[c_rob2700]

Didn't read it carefully enough, mb

[c_rob2700]

Love Golden eye. But think i would add final fantasy X and RE 4.
Never got in to FF and was never allowed to play RE4

[JustSway]

Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VII

Two questions:
1.Excited for the DS remake/port of Chrono Trigger?
2.Are you for or against the oft rumoured remake of FFVII?

Didn't read it carefully enough, mb

No problem dude :)

[anamericangod]

1. Not really. I do not like hand held systems at all. There isn't a whole lot different about it I don't think. A new dungeon and some translation fixes.

2. I am absolutely for a remake of FF VII. They did a remake of the introduction to show off the PS3's power, and it looked phenomenal. A remake of this game would send sales of the PS3 through the roof. The game itself would ship a million units within 6 months.

I really hope they do it. It would be absolutely stunning.

1. Agreed, handhelds never really piqued my interest.

2.Completley agreed, the tech demo was amazing and it would be a huge cash cow for Squenix to churn out, but they'd have to do it right, which in all fairness I think they could. I hope its secretly in development somewhere and I hope Sony was smart enough to lock it in as an exclusive, it'd finally give a huge number of people reason to drop $400 or whatever the console costs now.

[c_rob2700]

I really wish i could get a PS3, but the price is just too high
now that it's time for me to jump to next gen, i have to get a 360

[tomakebelieve]

Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis is the best video game ever.
I disagree. It's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best video game ever.
Donkey Kong sucks!
You know somethin'? You suck!

I spent like... countless hours as a child playing Donkey Kong and learning everything I could about it.

My answer is for a five way tie between FF7, Earthbound, Donkey Kong, Ocarina of Time, and Super Mario RPG.

[patpratt]

pafvwz7wAIY

YES

[Etch_Deception]

The best game ever, for me anyways, is Diablo, and Diablo II, I just don't think you can beat it

[SkaBum14]

Party Babyz

[unwritten]

haha

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

YES
Haha, I was wondering if someone would agree.

[B00sh]

Metal Gear Solid, I remember watching my dad play it when we first got it, I was pretty young then, and just watching him was amazing enough. But when I actually got my hands on it, wow. BEST. GAME. EVER.

[LastDeclaration]

Well, if we're talking the most influentional games ever, I'd say Final Fantasy VII, Grand Theft Auto III, and Goldeneye.

But as for the "best" games ever:

Final Fantasy X
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Banjo-Tooie
Paper Mario
Civilization II
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2

[williek311]

Half Life

Better than any other FPS that's for sure.

[poppa Q]

Nba Jam

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Final Fantasy VI/Chrono Trigger

[alann]

SNES:
Yoshi's Island
Super Punch Out
Donkey Kong Country 3

N64:
Super Mario 64
Star Fox 64
Goldeneye

GC:
WindWaker
Resident Evil 4
Super Smash Brothers Melee

[Deadwomb88]

I'd say Half-life (plus all the sequels) and or, the Metal Gear Franchise. very tough call though.

[Mitch]

I'll get shit for what I say is the best game I've ever played because not only is it recent, but because I've never played Zelda or any other insanely popular game.

Oh well, it's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

[Danlol]

I've been liking Farcry 2 for Xbox 360. Only just recently bought it, pretty much exclusively so I could play Halo 3 on live with my friends. It's the nice shiny black one :)

[c_rob2700]

I hope the Wii fucking dies, i hate it so much

[Kif]

How can people pick Half Life over Half Life 2? The pathetically bad platform parts, the Quake style action, the minimal story? Sorry but I absolutely hated Half Life, but Half Life 2 is one of my favourite games. It's a work of goddamn art.

[WhitestKidUKnow]

n64: majora's mask
gba: golden sun
gc: skies of arcadia: legends (hasn't been mentioned yet? great game)
ps2: tales of the abyss

[ShoutOutQuietly]

an absolutely amazing game, I wish I had a PS2 to play it on, fuck my PS3 right now.

and also I have never heard someone say that Majora's Mask was their favorite game ever, I never played because when it came out I did not have an expansion pack.
Shadow of the Colussus was incredible. Word is there is a sequel on the way, headed for PS3. Don't curse it too soon.

And I'm probably one of the few who consider Majora's Mask to be my favorite game. When I was younger, when I first played it, I was so emotionally attached to that game... It was ridiculous. It's stuck with me since.

Just found it interesting, even when I had that Zelda pack for the Gamecube I never played it, I kind of regret it now. And a Shadows sequel would be epic but also seriously time consuming haha.

[Posthardcore]

Call of Duty 5

[Thomas Balkcom]

Nba Jam

oh man

[Deadwomb88]

Call of Duty 5

When'd they make that? (jk)

[speakhandsforme]

I don't game much anymore and currently only dabble in Madden

...but, going off the enjoyment of my childhood, I'd have to go with Twisted Metal II or IV

[domotime2]

the answer is easy...

Super Smash Brothers on N64. the perfect game. its simple, and yet if you're exceptional at it...you are definitely at an advantage. You can play as multiple characters, perfect for 4 players, and addicting as well.

lolwut.

[open mind]

donkey kong, pac-man, frogger, and space invaders ought to recieve a mention.

[Sventhegreat]

The original Halo.

[Heart-A-Tact]

The first Mario Party, for N64.

[ShoutOutQuietly]

Time consuming in the best way. Not to mention the visuals would be mindboggling. The landscapes would blow my mind.

[Charles777]

Screw those games man,

TETRIS will always be number one in my book
