What is the best game you have ever played?

[Lombax302]

old school Battle Zone all the way!!

 

[Ironwampa]

Chrono Trigger

a classic which somehow obtained a godlike level of perfection.

 

[Infinatex]

Diablo II

So many hours poured into HC characters only see them die at level 99 and have to start again lol

 

[lizards]

half life 2 episode 1 and 2

i like 2 more than 1 but together it has the right length (if only it was longer still)

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

Mother 3.

I like Earthbound more, but "favourite" and "best dont egaul the same thing.

Also: Cave Story.
Anything made by Ska Software.
Anything in the castlevania series (except the N64 ones, which I hatehatehate.

Jagged Alliance 2. It is my favorite game, the game I play the most, and the best game.

To start off, I remember being super young and watching my friend play Zelda ocarina of time. I had no idea what was going on but I wanted it. That was an incredible game. I remember I got to the water temple and I pushed a block onto this space and I thought I had done a game breaking glitch so I couldn't advance so I started over. I didn't even mind, I would just constantly play this game every few months. Best adventure ever. I hate puzzles. But this was a complete joy

Smash Bros Melee- This game improves on pretty much everything you could want in a fighting game. And there is a stupid amount of bonus things that you can add in. Brawl is just ADD with the shit it has. Best multiplayer game

KOTOR- Wow this game did pretty much everything right. The dialog was awesome. Your party talked to each other. It has a revolutionary PAUSE button. So many strategy games force you to do all this shit in real time. This game you could take things one at a time. I literally gasped when the plot twist revealed itself. You really feel for your party. The things they say are very climatic and downright interesting. The game is much more difficult if you want to be a good guy. So you feel like its the way the world actually works. Masterpiece. Best campaign

Gears of war- There was no other game that I enjoyed playing online to this. I would try to get each achievement that required 100 kills for each weapon. It was a new adventure each time I would try to base my game around one gun. I had a complete blast trying to get 100 chainsaw kills and 100 grenade tags. It was glorious when I would get 3 chainsaws in a row and the otherteam would just scream WOOOOW at the end of a round. Priceless online glory

Shadow of the Colossus. No goddamn competition from any other game I have ever played. I love that game like and unborn child. Sadly, I can never play it again until I get a PS2 and a copy of it again.

I will vote FFT. Gameplay story and just an awesome game. Almost have Ramza a master at everything.

I'm with you man, FFT is my favorite game. WHY WONT THEY MAKE AN UPDATED SEQUEL?! I hate the gameboy ones. I said after I completed FFT that it would be cool if the bar missions were playable but then they do it and they ruin everything else. Kiddy storyline, unlikeable classes. Hell the Knight in FFT wasn't the best but at least his character model was cool!

Sorry, I just love the original FFT and am disgusted with the sequels.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Damn i have a top few in no certain order.
Zelda OoT
MGS4
ME
Alan Wake
Half-Life

Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Wind Waker (I can't choose between the two) or Final Fantasy VI.

I consider them the best games I've ever played, as they are my favourites. As for the most well-crafted.. Final Fantasy XIII had the best production values I've seen in a game.

Sadly big production values don't equate to a good game (although FF as a whole dropped after VI).
Though I think that Majora's Mask was better than OoT and WW personally.
I'm tempted to say Majora's Mask. The atmosphere was amazing, it got you into the game kind of quickly and never really let up. Plus it was my first Zelda game.
...Yeah I kinda got into LoZ a bit late huh?

I think OoT, WW and MM are beaten hands down by Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Fabulous dungeon design, very challenging, greatly rewarding. Brilliant Light/Dark world implementation. Cool music, simple interface, easy to play thanks to the top-down layout. A perfect gem of a game.

Forgot about KOTOR. I still rank Portal above it but man did that make me fall in love with WRPGs and introduced me to DND-esque role playing. The pause thing is standard in most (if not all) Bioware RPGs. So it wasn't revolutionary to them.
No other game has made me actually feel like a badass evil jedi than that game.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Probably Oblivion.
Just because there was so much to do, and it had me hooked for literally months.

 

[Nazz3]

Metal Gear Solid 3.

 

[Radeonx]

It's a tie between Starcraft and KotOR.
Both are outright amazing.

 

[tendo82]

Little masterpiece called Superman 64.

 

[Caligulove]

The Best game?

Probably Shadow of the Colossus.
Combined so many things together to perfection, both in gameplay and in setting and all kinds of atmosphere
