Best Video Games Ever (PC or Console)

[Eugene]

1. Harvest Moon 64
2. Super Smash Bros 64 (any later version is trash)
3. Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey
4. Diablo II
5. Starcraft

As for consoles, I never really kept interest in these. The first game I ever played on a console was Super Mario World for SNES. I'd always play it whenever I had the chance, and my half brother kept deleting my saved games :\.. 2nd favorite game for SNES was Mortal Kombat, followed by NBA Jam

The only other consoles I owned was a Playstation and Playstation 2. No games for the regular PS kept my attention except for games like Tekken. As for the PS2, my favs would have to be the latest and greatest Mortal Kombats followed by Metal Gear Solid 2, God of War, and Prince of Persia

IMO - I could never keep interest in games like Final Fantasy.

My most memorable game of all time though, would have to be Asheron's Call.. released along side of EverQuest, the two games constatly competed against eachother.. EQ had a better marketing campaign than AC, so EQ wound up winning in popularity, but AC was a lot more fun to me than EQ.

Not saying it's better than any of the games you guys have played, but it's the best, in my experience, that I have played.

on a serious note, kthx pretty much summed it up. i haven't ever played secret of mana, but FF7, 007 Goldeneye, and Halo are definitely some of the best games ever. along with, of course, the mario games. i can't decided if i liked super mario (snes) or mario 64 better. super smash bros was my favorite 64 game though!

FF7 was easily the best game ever, it revolutionized gaming.

Secret of mana is up there also.

007 Goldeneye for 64 reinvented the FPS.

The first Halo pretty much once again reinvented it since every single new age FPS is similar to it and we all know how many there are now.

I'm a bit of a mario enthusiast. If you haven't played the newest side scroller for wii, i'd highly reccomend it. Wonderful throwback.

[genocidal]

Haven't played anything but sports games and COD in the last few years, so obviously I like those. Here's my list keeping that in mind:

1) Super Mario World
2) Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
3) Diablo 2
4) Half-Life/Counter-strike
5) Quake
6) Star Fox
7) Super Mario Galaxy
8) Mario Kart 64
9) Perfect Dark
10) Wolfenstein

No Magic?!? :O I was so addicted to that game, I made sure every single character had every single spell in the game. Something like 60+ spells per + the Aeons were fucking badass, though the intros grow old causing you to just disable them entirely. Secret of Mana is good, long game, but rediculously stupid when it comes to leveling up your magic.

I'd like to add to my list an old PC game "Dagger Of Amon Ra". Scared the piss out of me when I was like 10, but I loved it.

Edit: I also fucking love watching chicks dress up like Rikku.

Yeah, forgot it had more magic, but what I meant to say was, NO LEVELS. Wasn't this the FF with no levels or experience points? God that pissed me off. And picking town names off of a list to fly to at the end of the game, because there is no world map, made me want to go find Cid and have him blow up soccer balls.

I agree it was pretty linear, but thats what the storyline required! Everything you did was to achieve one ultimate goal, and one ultimate destination, and by the time you get there, its impossible to put the controller down until you beat it, or die trying. Also yes, no levels, but I liked knowing what I was going to learn, and when, and choosing the priorities in which i learned them. I could go on all day, but I don't want to derail my own thread.

On track: SNES: Killer Instinct C-C-C-Combo Breaker!

guys

one more character class and diablo III will be ready

[RATTY...]

final fantasy IX

:wub:

1
1# Planescape Torment - PC
this is the best game i've ever played probably, in terms of story and characters i've not played better. I'm not a D&D buff and didn't know differences in the forgotten realms and Planescape settings but what i found out was that Planescape is crazier, darker, funnier and more my cup of tea. This game involves alot of reading though and is a different pace to todays games.
4# Vampire the masquerade : bloodlines
very dark atmosphere and great rpg where your abilities and traits offer you different ways to achieve your goals. it's a pity more games like these aren't about

Good picks.
----

#1
- Final Fantasy IX
FFIX is the best, without doubt.

- Heroes of Might and Magic 3
HOMM3 is a classic no matter how you look at it. No matter how old or busy I get, this will always be something I pull out and play once in a while.

#Close to the top
- Final Fantasy VIII
Great story/lovestory, love Squall, AMAZING cast. I'm not too happy about the sudden change in Squall's personality though, but he's a strong protagonist.


#Very good ones
- Seiken Densetsu 3
SNES RPG, one of my favourites, and quite an underdog =).

- Final Fantasy VII
Decent story, awesome materia system, lots of random characters that you don't even care about.

- Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
There isn't any game like this anymore, and it's really sad. Dark RPG, Vampires, amazing gameplay and story.

- Planescape: Torment
Dark, one of the must-play RPG games out there.

- Chrono Trigger
The whole time travelling mechanic is simply amazing, the whole game is consistant.


#Worst FF
- Final Fantasy X
Tidus the little whiny emo kid crying through the whole game? Makes me want to shove the sword down his throat. Linear boring story, there's really no peaks at all. I stopped counting how many times i dozed off while playing this game. NO WORLD MAP OR AIRSHIP!

And americans don't have Dark Aeons or Penance in their version. Penance is without a doubt the worst boss in the whole FF-series.

[Noah]

How the fuck did I fail to mention Heroes of Might and Magic? :|

All the games from HOMM1 to HOMM4 is great, best one is HOMM1 and after that they got slightly worse. At the time HOMM1 was out it was so much deeper and better than the alternatives of the time. While HOMM2 and HOMM3 was great games they didn't quite manage to stand out as much as the first game did. One of my favorite game series of all time.

I've tried to beat FFIX 3 times without being able to complete it, the game just wasn't interesting enough to get me to finish it.
