for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.

fistful of frags is strangely addictive, what weapon do you main?
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 8 months ago
I haven’t played in a couple of years so I don’t even remember all the different weapons. I just loved the challenge. I found the game by accident on steam, tried playing and got totally crashed. It took me couple of months to be able to stand my ground and finish the round in the top half. Really hard but as you say, really addictive. I don’t have that much time for games now but if I do one day I might get back to FoF.

But I’m older. So that’s a factor. Haven’t gamed in years.

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag and Rogue. Skyrim. Dishonored. Bioshock. NFS MW (2012). The Pentiment. These are in no particular order.

Top 3 is hard. I’ll start with the first three that came to mind, in no particular order:
-
Witcher 3
-
Star Control 2
-
Monkey Island 2
But there are so many that I could have listed instead.
The Commander Keen games are amongst the first I remember playing, I loved those and played through them so many times.
Baldurs Gate 3 was such a masterpiece, it probably could bump W3 off that list.
Although, Ultima 7 was the first RPG I played where I became properly immersed in the story. The world, the characters, the way the mystery of the main story unfolds. And it is actually a really good jump-in point for the series as it’s set a couple centuries after number 6.
Fallout 1 also could easily make the list. I loved the way such a small and intimate quest for your vault unfolds into something bigger.

Link to the Past Super Mario Bros 3 GTA 4
I took into account the impact at the time of release as well as the timelessness of the games.
kinther@lemmy.world 8 months ago
- Earthbound. I replay it every few years for nostalgia and just a feel good game.
- Xenogears. Hands down one of the best stories for an RPG.
- SOMA. The dark, post apocalyptic world is so gritty, I just love it. The ending really left me speechless.

Really glad to see someone say Earthbound. I love that game and have really enjoyed sharing it with my kids. I started them young on it while teaching them to read. I’ll sit with them and narrate the game and it really helps them a lot with learning to read. Just got to Happy Happy Village with one of them the other day.

Ragnarok Online in the early 00s is the only reason I’m alive to post this comment
Diablo II for sure, what an amazing technical achievement in the year 1999
Theeeen probably Earthbound.

Hey fellow RO player.
I quit when my hometown Morroc got obliterated on iRO. I’ve tried coming back once right after the server mergers, but I don’t know what kind of methodology they’ve used when determining name conflicts, I’ve lost quite a few character names to what I assume were randoms from other servers banking on taking over the names. Pissed me off way too much. Tried coming back a second time about a year ago, but I was unable to figure out my character account passwords with the warp portal changes and what not.
0li0li@lemmy.world 8 months ago
- Shadow Warrior 2 (playing with Quake arsenal)
- Prey (playing in VR)
- Burnout Paradise (playing with wheel and VR).
Oh, cheeky 4th one: Magicraft (best bite-sized PoE/arpg ever)
Planetside 2 used to be my no.1 game, but I haven’t played in a couple years and do not believe I’ll ever return.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Descent for the movement. Unreal tournament for getting ten PC’s on a token ring for PvP lan. Warcraft 2 because it’s rad and a pirated copy got me a job at the trading card shop.

Probably:
- Fallout 2
- Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
- Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars
Fallout 2 isn't as refined and tight as Fallout but I personally enjoy it more. It's arguably far too big but as I've played it so many times (unusual for me - I'm usually a one-and-done person when it comes to time sink RPGs) that isn't a bad thing. I enjoy the writing, mechanics, and atmosphere. Also I voice a robot dog in a mod for it.
Red Alert 2 is the best C&C game ever. I do not care for any of the 3D ones and Red Alert 1 is rather too difficult for me. However RA2 I have finished on hardest difficulty several times. I've never really bothered with the multiplayer for it outside of co-op because I don't play to be competitive. I tend to take my time and like it that way.
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is maybe my favourite point and click RPG. I go back to it every few years and it always sucks me in. I know most of the puzzles off by heart but I'm more there for the sense of escapism and gentle humour. There's other amazing point and click games but for whatever reason this one really speaks to me. It's not even a nostalgia thing - I've only ever played the 2009 director's cut! I'm old enough to have played the '90s version but never did.
Honourable mentions:
*Startopia
*The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
*Theme Hospital
*What Remains of Edith FinchStartopia's music, humour, and gameplay are all top notch. Runs on a potato, makes me laugh, and features my old pal, Arona.
BoI:R is great. I've put a ridiculous number of hours into it. The latest DLC has made it a bit too big for my tastes but in general I enjoy it a great deal.
Theme Hospital is like Two Point Hospital but tighter, funnier, and prettier. Lots of fun.
What Remains of Edith Finch is art. It's funny, moving, tragic, and beautiful. I encourage everyone to play through it. It won't take that long - a few hours. Such a fantastic experience. Gone Home is pretty damn good too.
saimen@feddit.org 8 months ago
The soundtrack of red alert 2 is the only one I ever deliberately listened to outside of a game.
I second What Remains of Edith Finch, but funny? I couldn’t see that. One of the few games that made me cry and it gave a lasting impression. I played it shortly after the birth of my first son though. The bathtub scene and the ending hit really hard.
Flamekebab@piefed.social 8 months ago
Funny in that it has moments of levity. It's not wall-to-wall misery even if it's filled with tragedy.
Ashtear@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Impossible to rank, so I’ll pull from at random from a top 25 I did not long ago:
- Trails to Azure - This one had a massive impact on me, from musings on depression and self-worth to love for a city, a community, and the hard choices that come from that love. Incredible story and character writing. All boosted by a well-developed world with a lot of moving parts and a crazy good soundtrack.
- WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames - Endlessly replayable. Holds up even to this day. Every time I think about it, I’m amazed at how they got lightning in a bottle with this new idea.
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Just one of those games where every single facet clicked for me. Visuals, writing, setting, soundtrack, gameplay, meta-gameplay, decision points. All of it.
fodor@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Betrayal at Krondor. A huge world for exploring, at a time when that didn’t exist.
Chrono Trigger. The replay value is so high.
Wolf 3D or Doom or Doom 2 or Quake 3, for similar reasons.
StarCraft, at a time when BattleNet was small and the ladder rankings and fights were all global.
chunes@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My best friend and I used to spend summer afternoons trying to figure out the answers to all the riddles on the chests. We sucked at it but when we finally managed to crack one, the feeling was euphoric.
The music was awesome. I used to listen to the CD while I slept.
Plagiatus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Minecraft and Factorio are definitely my top 2, after that it gets difficult. Probably Mario Kart (not necessarily a specific one, but if you’d ask me to nail it down it’d be Double Dash (for the nostalgia) and 8 Deluxe (currently best imo) at the top).
These are the only games I have consistently played for over a decade and that I keep coming back to in one way or another because I enjoy them so much. And that to me is the most important aspect of a game: my actual enjoyment of it

Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II
What the hell was it about that game? There was just something addictive. I barely even played it online, but I could just sink hours into it.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My friend and I played split screen for years in high school on a tiny 12" CRT. I’ll never forget finally beating the Ruins on extreme difficulty. He had to revive me 10 times during the boss fight because one attack would always 1-shot me. It was a 15-minute white-knuckle struggle, and it was incredible.
emb@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Right? I never tried it online for years either, though my friends and I did a lot of local co-op. Even though online is in the name, I actually think the offline is what really makes the game.
Anyway, there was just something beautiful to me about that drop chart. You could hunt specific things with specific characters, and the rates made most of it feel rare but findable.
I don’t know how they struck that sweetspot so perfectly. Had all the hook of an mmo while still being grounded and approachable.

Those are all relatively new games. How old are you? Just decade, not specifics. I’m in my 40s. I’d say my top 3 are World of Warcraft, Factorio, and Final Fantasy 6.

- Prey 2016 - I love the designs, the art, the story, the lonely feeling in space, the soundtrack (Mick Gordon!).
- Nier Automata - The only game that ever made me cry - multiple times. Great Soundtrack too!
- Grim Dawn - for me personally the best ARPG ever made, and they are working on a new expansion, after all this time!
