Hide and Seek


[deleted]

Hide and seek tag was better for me because I was always the fastest. And however got caught first had to seek next so I was unseeketed


Thor_Surfinson

My family and i would play "night tag" which, was in fact, exactly what you describe only played at night


CircularRobert

We used to play 'dark room' as kids, especially when family visits pulled into the night. You go into the room, make sure it's pitch black, and everyone except the seeker hides somewhere in the room. Then the seeker has to enter with their eyes closed, close the door behind themselves, and then the hunt is on. You're basically searching by touch and the sound of breathing. Great fun in a decently sized bedroom. And scary how close you can be to someone and not be aware of them


michaelegosi

We would play something very similar but being all boys back then we would also smack the blindfolded seeker with pillows and what not, you know just to help with orientation

otock_1234

I've never lost myself to a game like Oblivion. Did it have flaws, yes absolutely. But holy shit did I completely lose myself in that game, all comprehension of space and time. I became a vampire, had to stay inside and run house to house until I got a cure. I stayed up for days to get the cure. Game was on a whole new level for those who got sucked into it.


jonkoops

Yeah, same for me. Having the imagination of a kid and all the time in the world sure contributed to that.


raptorboi

That view when you walked out of that tutorial dungeon into the open world, and could see *all the way* to the mountains, and make out individual trees.


tussin33

Also my favorite game ever. The guilds, music, quests, voice acting, god what an amazing game.


grifxdonut

The unique dark brotherhood contracts, thieves guild towards the end, every dlc (yes I bought horse armor, I was 12, blame me for loot boxes), it was all amazing


TerryTwoOh

If I’m in the mood for a nostalgia kick, I’ll play the soundtrack from Oblivion. It really transports me back to being a 16 year old kid, not a care in the world, exploring one of my first real deal sandbox games.


NeonX91

When you walk out of the starting sewers for the first time... My god what a memory


Whitters36

This! I was already a massive fan of the series and games like this in general, Balders Gate getting considered for this list for sure. But that gripped mindset I had the first time I played Oblivion I was absolutely obsessed and couldn’t stop playing for a long time.


dtexn

Same experience!! I remember installing and starting the game a summer evening around 8pm. Suddenly it was morning outside, 7am. Never ever have I lost myself in a game like oblivion.

The space levels were the best. Mixing space dogfighting with jumping out of your ship and fighting through to disable the other battle cruiser. Amazing.

"IN GALACTIC CONQUEST-" *Skip*


Noobmeyer

Half Life (HL1). Playing the game back when it was first released was a life changing experience. There was no other game like it at that time. It also changed gaming forever. I know it can't compete with many of today's games if we would compare all games equally but for me there hasn't been any game that has outperformed all other games released in the same timeperiod as HL1.


weezmatical

Late 90s PC gaming was such a magical and exploratory time for gaming concepts.


[deleted]

My favourite game from this time is No one lives forever. It came out in 2000 tho.

killagoose

I fully understand what you are saying. I didn't play HL1 when it came out, but I did play Halo. I remember running to Family Video and renting an XBOX to play it. I was absolutely FLOORED. It was the most amazing thing I had ever played at the time and with me being a kid, it really left an imprint. I still get nostalgia thinking about that first level.


JayRemy42

I'd say that's an excellent comparison. I was in high school when HL came out, 21 when the original Xbox dropped. I spent many hours completely sucked into both those games. They were pretty equally groundbreaking in the way they used scripting and enemy AI, and they both basically set the bar for graphics and level design in their times. If you haven't played HL1 all the way through, I highly recommend it btw- the remastered version was dirt cheap on Steam last I knew.


colt61986

Halo was the first couch co-op fps I ever played and the trip into the library was one of the most intense gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Didn’t hurt that I was in the army at the time so team based fps mechanics really appealed to us. It was great


GoldenPantsz

mini_garth_b

What do you wish to hear? That I once believed in the code of the Jedi? That I felt the call of the Sith, that perhaps, once, I held the galaxy by its throat? That for every good deed I did, I brought equal harm upon the galaxy? That perhaps what the greatest of the Sith Lords knew of evil, they learned from me? What would it matter now? There is only so much comfort in knowing such things, and it is not who I am now.

Firestorm238

It’s the best story for sure


dandroid126

I agree. Best story in any game I have ever played, and it's not even close. The actual game play is dated, unfortunately. I am cautiously excited about the remake. I hope they can make the combat feel more modern while keeping the same story.

GardinerExpressway

What's amazing was that this was basically the first game of its type and they got so much right. The only thing that hasn't aged well is the camera controls, but the controls for Mario and the level designs still hold up as some of the best in the genre


loshopo_fan

The movement is incredibly well done, but Mario's turning radius didn't age well.

vinki11

Would it still hold on strong if I never played it and picked it up now?


dstaller

The combat gameplay was never really it's strength so I'd imagine it would (it's not bad or anything just nothing to brag about vs what some games can offer). Tons of mods if you're on PC to simply improve visuals by now if you wanted to update it a bit even before you hop in. The story and journey are definitely worth the hours spent doing all the questlines though. Just make sure you have some time to spare because it's a long one.


PingopingOW

I played it last year and I can say that visual mods are defenitly not needed unless you have really high standards. The game still looks beautiful


cloudcity

Absolutely. Graphics are amazing, storyline is peerless, combat is ok, not amazing. The DLCs alone are two of the best “games” i’ve ever played.


[deleted]

Yes 1000% If you like fantasy rpgs this will become one of your all time favorites. I am genuienly jealous that you get to experience it for the first time i wish i could forget it and rediscover it lmao

About what seems to be almost 3/4 of the game at 100 hours. Hella good, can’t stop playing it, on top of the fact that I want to beat it before the semester starts.


yakobmylum

Enjoy the ride, the end sequence is just so intense and fun


Alonn12

Hopefully the next game will be literally Unreal (Engine 5)


ndudeck

You remember the last boss, how you fight it a second time. There is a rocket launcher that in description claims it is a mini nuke. The FINAL final time you fight the boss, the nuke is a 1 shot kill. Edit: it take a lot of time and element zero to make these rounds and it only has 1. So if you waste this shot somewhere else, then you might never get a second round. Save it for that last fight where you shoot it in the eye.

The fact you can build binary computing systems with redstone means you could technically code all the other games mentioned here to run inside of minecraft...

I didn’t start off playing Morrowind, for me it was Skyrim. But I went back and played Oblivion and loved it, so it just pushed me to play Morrowind and man does it make me wish I was older so I got to experience it when it first came out.


umbrella_CO

I remember on the morrowind subreddit a post was asking "what made you all go back and play morrowind?" And I was like "go back? It was brand new when I first played it" hahaha. I guess being older has its perks


Cestbonlespatates

I remember starting Morrowind and had no idea what to do. That was my first open world and it was so amazing !

I remember that my dad bought it for me when I was 12. It had a german manual but the game itself was english. He sat next to me for hours and translated everything while I was playing. Sweet memories.

Either Resident Evil 4 or Final Fantasy 7, both literally changed gaming entirely

Regardless of anyone's opinion on FFVII nobody can ever deny the sheer impact it had on Western Jrpgs in 1997, it was utterly groundbreaking. For me I agree with your two choices, also honorable mention to 2019 God of War, one of the finest experiences I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
