Games you loved INSTANTLY.

[WorldCritic]

Kingdom Hearts, Jet Set Radio Future, Ratchet & Clank, The World Ends with You, KOTOR, Arkham Asylum.

 

[Sareiza17]

Mercenaries. The first one, haven't played the second one.

I liked the game when I started blowing trucks up with an RPG in the first contract, then I got to the second contract and got to use a recoilless rifle, that's when I fell in love with it.

 

[DSK-]

UT99, Splinter Cell 1, Mass Effect, COD4

 

[Wayneguard]

Shadow of the Colossus was love at first play. Same with Dragon Age. Thief 3 as well.

 

[Gamegirl22]

Earthbound.
As soon as the title screen starts with 'what's your favorite food' and 'name the dog' I knew I was in for a treat.

 

[Decabo]

Prey. Anyone who's played it knows it has the best opening in any game ever, and I couldn't wait to keep playing.

 

[tombman888]

God of War is the first that comes to mind.
And of course Kingdom Hearts!

can someone craft me a Ninja shield, i swear this is the 15th time this day. Kingdom Hearts yay.

 

[Strategia]

StarTopia, Mass Effect, Rise of Nations, Homeworld2, probably more.

 

[The Spectator]

Persona 4 definitely. When something like this happens in the start of the game:


.. then you can't help having a nerdgasm.

 

[Kielgasten]

Civilization
Gears of War
God of War
Assassins Creed 2
oh and GTA: Vice City

 

[AceAngel]

I'm ashamed to say this, but none! Almost everygame I played had me with some issue...

Half-Life1: I have to push a trolley in what?
Half-Life2: Thank you Barney! Wish everything was as good as you.
Portal: What is going on, who am I? What is my motif?
Mass Effect1: Um, I don't sound like that..
Mass Effect2: OK, rebuilt, so it makes sense I sound like that...but still, KOTOR?
KOTOR1: Let me guess, we lose and have to climb up the ladder?
KOTOR2: This...is...feeling...so...deja-vu...
Bionic Commando: Sooo...no army?
Gears of War: 5 minutes in and I already have to make a choice?
STALKER: Where are the women?

All games I liked or loved, but I didn't like them instantly...

 

[LogieBear]

Final Fantasy (ALL OF THEM!!!)
Valve Games
Kingdom Hearts Games (BADASS)

Totally Ninja'd 'The World Ends With You'

 

[brodie21]

Fallout 3, red dead redemption, oblivion, mass effect 1 & 2.


although i have to admit, the first time i saw an ad in gamepro about mass effect i thought the armor looked silly and thought "im probably not going to get that game" i ate my words big time.


to be fair, is anybody ever going to wear skin-tight armor into a firefight?

 

[berault]

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time immediately springs to mind!
