Super Mario RPG? It was the first RPG I took seriously just cause I could play as Bowser. It also introduced me into RPGs.
a close second would be Circle of the moon… I remember grinding/farming for DSS cards. Plus Nintendo Power claimed there to be a secret Camilla ending if you beat the game under 2 hours. Sadly, it was false.
1-DRAGON QUEST 8 PS2
this fucking game…was an incredible experience. the art style, the music, the story, the writing, the characters, the immense scope and size of the world. just, just incredible. almost perfect. proof that video games could be works of art.
spent 500 hours first playthrough. 250 in my second. just exploring shit.
disappointed DQ9 wasn’t anything like this one.
2-OKAMI ps2
same as above game. a beautiful game that’s also proof a video game can be a work of art.
these 2 games shoulda been shipped directly to washington dc to any politician that wants to regulate & censor the shit out of video games…just coz they are "video games."
3-STREET FIGHTER 2 CE-HF-ST
3 games but i my favorite was HF
most balanced fighter ever. especially HF.
4-PRINCE OF PERSIA
any of the trilogy. but i like the third one most of all.
5-SHINOBI ps2
most exciting, sweat inducing, heart racing game ever. more addictive than crack.
6-NINJA GAIDEN BLACK xbox
same as above
7-PANZER DRAGOON ORTA xbox
gdlk rail shooter. a must play.
8-SUPER MARIO snes
’nuff said
9-PHANTASY STAR sega master system
best rpg of its time. nothing came even close to it. regardless of which console we’re talking about. ground breaking.
10-THE LEGEND OF ZELDA nes
ground breaking. first cartridge game to need a battery inserted into the cartridge for memory purposes coz the game was that immense in size & scope.
11-SONIC THE HEDGEHOG sega genesis
mind blowin speed…for its time. needed a special chip in the cartridge to deal with its speed.
12-STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2
most fun shooter…ever!
thats all i can think of.
i still haven’t ever played ico or shadow of colossus yet.
would like to play bayonetta and wet and mad world
Im sorry, I cannot chose a best game ever, It simply cannot be done. i can however give a list of best fucking game for each individual console.
Super Nintendo - Super Metrioid and Megaman X
Genesis - Streets of Rage 2
Playstation 1 - Crash Bandicoot 3 and Megaman Legends 2
Nintendo 64 - Ocarina of Time
Dreamcast - Skies of Arcadia
Playstation 2 - God of War Red dead Redemption
Xbox - Ninja Gaiden Black and Halo
Gamecube - Metroid Prime 1 and 2
Shenmue 1/2
Jet Set Radio
Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, Solid Snake (MSX game- overlooked and ahead of its time)
Majoras Mask (aged better than OOT imo)
[S]Pokemon gold, silver, crystal or the remake **** all the other ones[/S]
GTA: Vice City
Sonic 3
FF6 ( aka 3 for snes)
[S]SfxT[/S] (don’t hurt me. My two mains in super became and played like how i always dreamed of and they are even a team in the game and work together nicely. I’ll never get sick of Bison saying “get in here, brat!” when he tags out or Juri “go for it, big boy!” Also Bison has meme win quotes. )
Starfox64
Elder Scrolls
I think the magical sword opens up the possibility that the legend of the phoenix and dragon mirror could be true. I think Yu Suzuki’s intention all along was for Shenmue to be a fantasy RPG. He wanted to rip you from everyday life into a fantasy dimension. Problem was he did too good of a job to a point where people hate the idea of leaving the life like cities they inhabited in Shenmue 1 & 2.

Do you remember the dialogue at 2:42? Chi You a Chinese demon will resurrect itself on earth, I don’t know if the magic sword was going too far.Who knows we may see this supernatural phenomenon in Shenmue 3.
What was then? It’s a great game with atmosphere, solid shooting mechanics, and enough enemy and stage variety to keep it interesting but I really think you should try Dead Space it’s on a different tier.
I knew you weren’t a complete idiot. I’d love to get a few games on ggpo sometime.
I understand the temptation to lump them together because at first glance they seem very similar both are over the shoulder tps with a horror bent, but that is where the similarities end because they’re both very different games fundamentally and cosmetically. RE4 is a great game but it’s a well made shooter with a creepy atmosphere leaning much more heavily on the action oriented side than survival horror while Dead Space 1 and 2 is the opposite. Unlike the RE series the Dead Space series makes an atmosphere of dread and discomfort it’s core, it really is everything a true survival horror game should be. Resources are somewhat limited, light and sound design work in tandem to always appear menacing, the lack of HUD, fear of being attacked at anytime anywhere even while doing anything in game like upgrading weapons make DS embody horror in game form. Even the lore of the universe is sinister almost like a film noir in the the future almost everyone is corrupt and out for themselves it’s a harsh world so much fucked up shit happens before and during the games and the characters rarely show any humanity. Dead Space 1 and 2 have a different goal than RE4.
Also how can you possibly think 2 is less scary than 1? In 1 the backtracking and repetitive dark corridors really took away from the immersion and reminded players that it is a game, while 2 went above and beyond to use the bigger budget all for more detailed light and sound design. The lighting and sound is the key to both game’s success and 2 simply has a deeper and wider range of tools to unnerve players with. It was a lot more action oriented than 1 I’ll give you that but it also tried much harder to use multiple scare tactics while 1 used jump scares much more.
Check out the footage and get hype FOR CO-OP FREE DS3.
