Holy Grail Of Games?

[Clemenstation]

Soo... this thread is basically just about everyone listing their favourite games, no?

There is no perfect game, and I sure hope there won't ever be, because every game made afterwards would just be "meh."

But one does have to wonder, wouldn't a game being "perfect" essentially eliminate any need for another game from then on? Because think about it; a perfect game would have the best graphics that the largest concentration of gamers would like, have (most likely) an unlimited, open world with dynamic characters and situations that would genuinely make them more lifelike than real people. And probably explosions and boobies (for the straight guys). A perfect game would assumedly cover all of its bases flawlessly and wonderfully, so games after that being "meh" doesn't seem likely because you already have everything you could possibly get of a video game from the perfect one.


However:

Such a thing is nigh impossible, because of technical, financial and creative shortcomings. We will never know what will satisfy ALL Gamers. This is due to the very simple fact that, while "perfect" in even the most professional viewpoint, there will always be someone who is very much not privy to the game for whatever reason, even though there is absolutely nothing wrong with the "perfect" game, and everything in it appeals greatly to gamers. It's a paradox, like the perfect politician.

I guess the perfect game would also have an endless replay value, so I guess there would be no need for more games.

The perfect game is a lie.

What I consider to be a "Holy Grail" of games is a game that is rare to find, but is highly sought after.

Tops on my chart are Fallout 3 and Portal, only thing that could possibly top it is Fallout with the Portal gun. Maybe mix in a little RE5 co-op action and I'd never leave home... well until I needed groceries anyway.

probably zelda and the ocarina of time

Such a thing is nigh impossible, because of technical, financial and creative shortcomings.

It's pretty easy: A needle inserted into your spine that injects dopamine whenever you press the large yellow smily face button next to you. Everyone likes that. It's pretty addictive, like MMORPGs are, it gives you plenty of time to create-your-own-adventure (Which means it has an awesome plot, maybe none), and best of all, it can't actually offend anyone because there is nothing politically incorrect in the game.

I dont think anyone's capable of making the "perfect game"...there's always going to be a gamer who doesnt enjoy it...and even then, there's bound to be some flaws.

I think there should be a game...MMOG, if you will...that has polls taken from everyone who plays, then takes it and tries to incorporate them into the game. That way it rounds off the edges that have people turned off to a game

Ratchet and Clank 3 was the perfect game for me. Part RPG, part platformer, part action. Pinnacle of that series. Just the right mix of difficulty with the arena challenges and other modes. Also multiplayer! None of the 3 installments since then have come close.

I'm just happy to see that nobody put Seaman on their list. My ultimate holy grail of games is Grand Theft Auto IV just because of the depth of play in the game and online.

That too my friend but, Deus Ex takes it for me.

Thou Shalt Love JC Denton, Thou Shalt Not Refer To Him As A Tool Lest Thou Wish To Be Destroyed By Angry Fans.

*hums Deus Ex opening theme*

Well Deus Ex is a very close second for me.

 

[Sketchy]

Fifa 95. Seriously, Fifa 95.
