Team Fortress 2:
Each class has a particular style of play that caters to a wide variety of preferences. I often find that my class selection changes from day to day depending on my mood. If I'm tense, I pick Heavy and unwind by clearing an entire room of enemies with the bullet-hose minigun. If I'm feeling a bit crazy, I go Pyro and start burning things. If I'm feeling charitable, I play Medic and help keep my team alive.
Usually I play Spy because I like the idea of helping others indirectly and messing with the minds of my opponents. My backstabs and building saps lessen the opposition on the front lines and spreads paranoia in the ranks of my enemies. Nothing give me a better feeling of satisfaction in the game than watching enemies run around in circles shooting at the air and each other trying to find me instead of trying to stop my team.
Also, I enjoy any game that has a sense of humor and doesn't take itself too seriously. In this regard, TF2 delivers in spades.

Chrono Cross wasn't my 1st RPG (thats FF7's title) but there was definitely something about the story and characters that I connected to. Plus, I kind of accept the possibility of there being alternate realities and I'm pretty sure that game plays a factor in why I think that.
Mount & Blade :Warbands. It's quite simple. I HATE LINEAR GAMES THAT FORCE ME TO PLAY AS A CERTAIN CHARACTER. An RPG should always be free and open, otherwise its not a goddamn ROLEplaying game, its a linear story adventure game with RPG elements. I simply love the freedom M&B gives me and the ability to make my own story and my own choices.
Shadow of the colossuss. Wander is pretty much a blank slate personality-wise. Because of this, i didn't think of him as a person, i thought of him as me. Now. This person being me i had no doubt about the morality of the situation So the ending was a total shock to me and opened my eyes to the kind of stories games could tell. Also, that game uses music REALLY well.
My favourite games just so happen to be Fallout New Vegas and Mafia 2.
New Vegas, Mafia 2 and LA Noire are the three games I've pre-ordered, the only three. All three games have the similar era setting of being 1950s, 1940s and 1930s respectively. I absolutely love these times settings and the two games that have been released are both great games. Because they're great games and I enjoy the time setting, I find they're my favourite games.

While I agree on the game, you missed a few things. Sin isn't the only conflict, the Tidus and Jecht story, the gang trying to stop Yuna from dying etc.Biosophilogical said:
Seymour wasn't the religion, I can't actually remember his motives. Yu yevon was behind the religion to keep himself alive (if I remember right, it has been a few years since I played it).
Also, will people stop hating on Tidus? He is far from a whiny *****, anybody went through what he did would be an emotional wreck. From what I remember he mentions hating his dad a few short times, dwells on him never seeing home for about 20 minutes, mentions stopping the love of his life from dying, doesn't get all emotional when he finds out he is nothing but a dream ... if anything Tidus is an emotionless kid.
I figured Sin was a broad, one-word thing that covered most of it (they had to save Yuna from killing herself (while killing Sin); they had to stop Jecht (who was Sin), and probably most other issues like the Al-bhed - Yevonite conflict, what with the conflict being because of Sin).omega 616 said:
As for Seymour, when you go to Bevelle, the Grand Maester or whatever he calls himself is dead himself, and agrees with Seymour's "Kill everyone, Sin is inevitable, rage-quit-life" policy. So I just figured that, in some way, almost every conflict was either related to Seymour or Sin.
Civilization 4
Empire building, gives me the illusion I'm in control, and when life otherwise sucks and I feel powerless, I go there and win, and feel like I'm worth my salt. Then, the next day, I run into my boss who tells me I didn't do something well, and I think "at least I'm good at kicking the Greek's a$$ and handing it over to them in just 20 turns!".
