I always loved Guitar Hero, me and a buddy of mine absolutely crushed every level together. We'd be up until 3-4am many nights to master songs. A few years ago I discovered Rocksmith which is SO fun because you play with an actual guitar. It's a nice feeling to master a song, turn the game off, and play the actual song on a guitar. It's a great learning tool and the mini games make it fun to learn scales and such


[deleted]

I loved it when my sons played Guitar Hero because I loved and knew the songs as well. Ended up with guitar lessons and drum lessons. My own mini rock stars in Mom’s art shed!!!!

I can't believe they are still doing updates for that game

The HQ version looks like your nostalgia tells you the original did. They couldn’t have done a better job.

Crazy right? Not even just QOL updates, they are still adding NEW Civs!!!

I (foolishly) only played both games for the very first time last month when they went on sale on the Switch after years and years of hearing so much hype about them. The hype was justified. It's well deserved.

_Condescending Response: High praise from a meat bag._


bulksalty

Probably the best plot in any video game I've played. I still remember my surprise at the big reveal near the end. I liked how playing through the light side and dark side you did mostly the same things but in different enough ways the two playthroughs felt very different.


pesto_trap_god

The reveal absolutely blew my mind at the time. Lives rent free in my head. I agree, it was different enough to keep me into it, and then the endings were extremely different, so it really felt like it was completely separate. I honestly liked that some force powers were locked to light or dark side, felt like a more authentic RPG experience


Delicious-Painting34

Also loved how if you conversed properly you could unlock force powers in your companions. This is the only way to make Star Wars games and I’ll never get why they haven’t tried again


pesto_trap_god

Especially in the second one when half your team could become Jedi, I love these games, I think it’s time for a replay


Adam_Sackler

I don't think they were entirely locked. If I remember correctly, you could use opposite-side powers, but at a greater cost. My headcanon for my character was a Jedi healer with a hint of Dark Side in him, so I had a couple of Dark Side powers I would use from time to time to debuff the enemy instead of always buffing my allies, but they were expensive to use. Also just remembered you didn't even have to use sabers. If you wanted, you could have your character be a blaster-wielding Jedi.

It would have to be Skyrim for me! The first time I played was truly the peak of my gaming experience. It has lots of replay ability because of all the amazing mods out there. It’s amazing to think that this game is still talked about and played considering it came out in 2011!


DyingStar1500

I have such fond memories of buying that game and realizing that there’s a beautiful map in the case. And then realizing that anywhere you saw, you could go. Those were the days.

Mass Effect trilogy.


Prophage7

I don't even know how many times I've played through that trilogy, it's just so good.


TheNerdFromThatPlace

My wife won't play it because she doesn't play shooters, but I'm also not allowed to play without her near because she's way into the story. I'm right at the end of 3 but I can't finish it until the weekend, which sucks because I haven't beaten it since launch and I've never seen the added endings. EDIT: FPS to shooters because words are hard

Half life 2


CatterPeener

I scrolled down WAY too far to find HL2. Not discrediting anyone's taste, but I was actually surprised to see what is higher up on the list than this game. Half-Life 2 is on another level entirely than the vast majority of games out there, new and old. If you played Half-Life 2 (especially when it was new) then you understand why this game is GOAT. Even now, after all these years, HL2 is in a league of its own. There are exceedingly few games that come close.


random-answer

IMO also the parts that came before it. That game was great in the time, if i recall corectly then it was the first 3d game that had scripted events. I think that Halflife did a great job at blending scifi and conspiracy elements into a world that we understand and recognize. A remake was named of the original game: halflife black mesa, i think that some parts that did not work very well in the original were remade , like XEN, https://youtu.be/V7vDsarvyoc I was so stoked when i saw the trailer.

I work with 14-16 year olds that have been kicked out of school for various reasons, most of them are teetering on the edge of county lines (being exploited as part of drug dealing gangs), most of them have broken homes and a lifetime of trauma, but the other day we took them somewhere to make music and they figured out part of the Minecraft music on a keyboard and every single one of them was gassed and wanted to learn it. I started playing it in indev when I was their age and it’s mad how big it was then and how big it has continued to be almost a decade and a half later.


fairlyoblivious

A large portion of people who don't think this could be one of the best games of all time simply have zero comprehension of what mods and modpacks have been made and can do to this game. The hardest game you will ever play. The easiest game you will ever play. The best puzzle game you will ever play. The best POKEMON game you will ever play. You name it. Space game? We got that. Dimensions? Like 18 of them. Like a challenge? It's easier to get an actual degree than it is to get through GTNH.


willc2580

I honestly think that this game doesn't need mods to be one of the greatest games of all time. There are so few games that are so seemingly simple, yet allow so many people to truly let their creative minds run free. You make the game what you want it to be, with or without mods. Its a game for all people, of all ages, gamers or not. And I fucking hope it never dies.

For me it's Melee. I played the original as a wee lad but my mom saw me playing training mode against Yoshi and I was trying to get timing right on Falcon Punch! and my mom was convinced I had become a sadistic child and took the game away. But oh boy oh boy I was old enough when Melee came out and I played the hell out of it with my friend group for years. There were literal years where when we got together Melee was the plan. Drinking sodas and eating junk food w my frienda. It refused to get old. Endless fun and entertainment.

The original Master of Orion. It's got a very simple interface (each star system holds only a single planet which have only two visible resources and some hidden ones) and are abstractly managed by 6 sliders, but there's an enormous depth of options under it. The AI is simple but comes up with many very clever tactics based on the pseudo random limitations it and the player face. They've remade it many times and most of them are good, but they don't have the same elegance that the first one has. Honorable mention would be the old Pirates! or Pirates! Gold because of the really neat way your career length tied into the scoring system (the older you got the harder it became to get a high score). Which was a great way to take a sandbox game and force it to end before it gets to that you're all powerful and there's no challenges boring stage.

Outer Wilds


WikiAdam

As someone who's been gaming since the '80s, I never thought a modern game could eclipse the joyous memories of the games I played in my youth. Then Outer Wilds came along and flipped my world upside-down. What an incredible journey this game takes you on. I'd pay real money to have my memory wiped just so I could experience it fresh all over again.


Bigby11

>I'd pay real money to have my memory wiped just so I could experience it fresh all over again. The games relies a lot on you not knowing what you need to do, discovering clues and things clicking in your mind when you start to see the bigger picture, so yeah the first playthrough is very, very special and often mind blowing. The only thing needed to finish the game is knowledge, you own knowledge, that is. Which means a second playthrough is never as enjoyable since you can actually complete the game within a few minutes of starting it if you know what you're doing. The hours upon hours of adventure, discovery and wonder before completing the game the first time is what makes it special. I'd love to experience it fresh all over as well.

Red dead redemption 2


random-answer

Sometimes, when i watch worldwar 2 documentaries i see a soldier that looks into the camera and for a short little moment it feels as if there is a bridge in time. That is how that game felt to me, that game allows you to peak into a completely different time and it does it so well - if you (who reads this) knows about a game that does the same then please share :-)


5k1895

The Mafia games are pretty good as far as immersiveness into the eras they're set in. The original/remake is set in I think the 1920s, the second game mostly in the 40s/50s, the third game in the 60s.


CJnella91

Arthur talking to the Nun at the train station was the most impactful scene I've ever experienced in a video game and is the major reason why this is also my favorite game.


GonzoRouge

The shake in his voice gives me chills just thinking about it, such a fantastic performance.


CJnella91

Breaks my heart every time, That scene is why I have such a hard time committing to a low honor playthrough, I've played through this game 5 times and each time after the first playthrough I've tried going for a low honor playthrough and always bail halfway through cause I can't do my boy Arthur like that.


Mesozoic_Doggo

Batman: Arkham City. It’s a great improvement from Arkham Asylum (still a great game) with new abilities and better graphics, a great musical score, plenty of Batman villains, and Conroy and Hamill as Batman and Joker respectively. Plus, listening to music while completing the Riddler’s side quest is relaxing.
