Games that have changed who you are..

[CrysisMcGee]

Games can change you, sometimes permanently.

For me, it was Planescape: Torment. What can change the nature of a man?
The game taught me a lot about human behavior. Consequences of actions, even ones done by heroes.
And in the end even if we escape our fate, we still have to answer to ourselves.

Well I don't think a game has changed me as a person. But I have learned a lot about history playing a few games. Hell most of my WW2 knowledge comes from video games haha.

 

[Aqualung]

Ocarina of Time. Before that, I wasn't really into the whole fantasy thing.

Actually... I think playing that game pretty much turned me down the road to geekdom.

EDIT: GAH! Ninja'd!

And I played it when I was 6, too.. weird.

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

Battlefield 2142. It made me defend gaming no matter what.

[small]Well... not Rapelay...[/small]

 

[Disaster Button]

Garry's Mod. Made me realise that I am creative.

in a very very small way

 

[Flos]

Metal Gear Solid 2.

I learned how to stop worrying and love the bomb.

 

[Junkle]

Legend Of Zelda:Ocarina Of Time.

Played it when I was 6, made me a gamer.

That's kind of creepy. Same for me. LoZ: OoT when I was 6, I got into videogames because of it. Hmmm.

Little Big Planet made me realize that originality doesn't pay in the intertainment industry.

Unless you make a Metal Gear Solid themed level or one with a rocket rollercoaster, no one will glance you're way.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

The Hobbit, got me through the two roughest summers of my life.

 

[Divineirony]

Super Mario 64 it was the first game that started my hobby spent months on it when i was 5/6 never got 120 stars though

 

[Sassafrass]

Final Fantasy VII.

Got me into adventure gaming and, weirdly, got me to read books.

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

Majoras Mask. After finding it in my older brothers N64 when he was gone, I was playing it for hours on end. Brought new light on a genre sentience had shaded from my memory.

 

[schizophrenix]

Assassin's Creed. This might seem unusual, but it taught me a few lessons about human morality and what people will do for what they think is right.

 

[TheDuckbunny]

The Hobbit, got me through the two roughest summers of my life.

That game was awesome. Played it alot.

OT: Arcanum, it got me interested in the steampunk genre.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Bioshock taught me more about philosophy and corruption. And Final Fantasy VII had an impact on me as well.

 

[righthead]

Chrono Trigger. Before then I had never played an RPG and I was more of a casual gamer, after I'd sink 12+ hours a day into video games some days, and it's still #1 on the list of games I've played

 

[Helimocopter]

Super mario world on the SNES basically is thre reason for my love of videogames
