Easy To the Moon. Great little indie game with an amazing story that will make you cry
Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?

I think MGS2 on the original PlayStation or PS2. That was a dream a few decades later.

League of legends because I hate myself
ICastFist@programming.dev 5 months ago
Probably World of Warcraft. That’s a couple thousand hours in total as I played on and off on private servers throughout the years from 2006-2012, plus a brief stint with BfA.
Actually, no, I’d rather not forget how I saw the game evolve, even if my experience wasn’t the ideal one.

Shadow of the colossus or Transistor.
GTG3000@programming.dev 5 months ago
Thomas Was Alone, The Fall, Rumu, To The Moon, Stanley’s Parable, Toem, Primordia, Turing Test, The Entropy Centre, Subnautica, Bioshock 2, Portal 1/2.
Though honestly any game with good story would probably count here.
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Outer Wilds, probably.
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Likewise. Outer Wilds was an incredible experience but it’s one of those things that will inherently have zero replay value. Unless maybe you feel like doing a quick run-through as a comfort food nostalgia game, or something. It’s fairly unique in that your progression in it is based purely on your personal knowledge of what you’ve discovered in the solar system, and if you had foreknowledge there’s literally nothing stopping you from beating it on your very first launch without even doing a single time loop. There’s even an achievement for doing the same, no doubt intended to be earned once you already know everything.

Did I cry when I talked to Gabro at the last campfire? Yes, yes I did.
fishy@lemmy.today 5 months ago
My first thought too. Probably in my top three games, but you can only play it the best way once.

I went back and tried to play the DLC and even that just wasn’t the same. I want to play them both blind.
QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Same here.

Anti chamber, portal, journey, and Rez.

Thief: The Dark Project
I still keep playing it with all the gfx patches, it’s a masterpiece. 2 and 3 are not bad either, but the original is unmatched. Love the user generated mods as well.
cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
The Witcher 3, Elden ring.
Strider@lemmy.world 5 months ago
None. Every game was a product of its time, hence bound to many external factors.
Let it go… And take the chance to experience what you haven’t yet, there’s more to do, than can ever be done.
(on a roll with 2 Disney references, apologies)
fishy@lemmy.today 5 months ago
That’s not really in the spirit of the question though. The question boils down to “what game made you feel some kinda way that you’d like to replicate?” It’s entirely hypothetical. Theres too many amazing games that have been made in the last thirty years to ever finish them all. But that doesn’t take away from that moment in a game that was so new and impactful that it became seared into. I’ve had experiences so deep it literally changed how I felt about death and loss and it would be amazing to feel those feelings again.

Apologies, thats just the way I understand it. 99% will understand it as intended, I’m with the 1% 😁

Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos (and it’s expansion, The Frozen Throne).
The level of storytelling for a strategy game’s campaign completely blew me away at the time. The “good”-coded guys are haughty and rigid, the “bad”-coded guys are (mostly) just trying to get by in a world that rejects them at every turn, not to mention you play as the lovable young protégé and prodigy that slowly casts aside his humanity until he becomes a “big bad” for everyone else. The campaign has world-altering events take place, and you actually get to see the world altered after the fact.

And that one time, at bandit camp.

“Do you feel like a hero yet?”
Also Starcraft: Brood War, Shadow Watch, and, yah, Morrowind. I took over an entire house in Balmora to serve as a treasure room. Then hit the max item limit and had to re-place everything by hand while also taking over another house.

Never been in the military but after the prologue I assumed any sane recon squad lead would radio the HQ and ask for advice instead of ‘getting to the bottom of this’

And every horror movie should be ten minutes long and end with the kids taking one look at the spooky cabin, getting back in the car and driving back to their dorm.

A lot of good ones here already listed, some of those I’ve started and veered off due to busy life with kids.
What I didnt see was uncharted 4. Never played any other in the series, but bought that one from steam sales. You know when you picked up a good book which you couldnt put down but had to read through as fast as possible? Or new tv series that you had to binge? Well surprisingly uncharted 4 was that for me last year. After I was finished I felt empty: “whats now?”.
A very few games have gripped me that way.
mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Ohh! Good call! Uncharted!
lemonSqueezy@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Uncharted is on a next level. It’s a game ahead of its time.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The first Uncharted, at the time, reminded me what I loved about gaming, and they’ve only gotten better. And just as they were basically a new Indiana Jones, the new Indy game is pretty much an open hub world Uncharted, but they both stand on their own.

Dark Souls

Discovering that world for the first time was so special. Still nothing quite like it

I was going to say RDR2, but I guess I need to shut up and play Outer Wilds.
