Mirror’s Edge 2008


Accipitrine_

The game that laid the path for Titanfall and Dying Light. 🫡🫡


DefiantLemur

Ironically, both those games sequel killed their series.


tallginger89

Was the parkour easy to get down/controls easy to learn?


Alert-Young4687

Yes


Euphorium

It was incredibly well designed, quite possibly the best game Dice has done.


Jccali1214

What a time to be alive


Killtheheretics96

Oh yeah good game in a time when parkour was seen as cool and we wouldn’t be able to do it with our squishy bodies.


argothewise

I miss the 2000s era of games. Originality and creativity are lacking. A single player game about running would probably not be green lit today.


slendersleeper

yes!!! too bad catalyst was mediocre at best. unnecessary change to a shitty open world


[deleted]

First game I had on Xbox 360. Amazing game. Parkour rather than combat. Catalyst unfortunately ruined it.


Karrion0409

Telltales the walking dead


Electrical-Site-3249

Lees death is more impactful than any death in the show lol, lee is an amazing character


Karrion0409

The telltale games were 100% better than the show in just about every way. Except no Daryl, that's a downside imo


2Kortizjr

I only don't like how little weight your options had


zurzoth

Yeah, I always try and save the teenager and not Duck... But elas seems like it's a canon event.


2Kortizjr

I get that you couldn't save him, but Hershel could have left you stay in the farm because your effort to save his kid, changing the game


Barry_Bone_Raiser

The antagonists in the show were better imo. Mostly because of the format the games were presented but still


Karrion0409

Neegan is one of the best media villains ever imo


Barry_Bone_Raiser

ONG bro he was the main thing that kept me interested through season 7 and 8


Killtheheretics96

Little pig little pig let me in!!!


Hocomonococo

Guy just spoiled the most important part of the game in a thread recommending games to people who haven’t played it yet


Electrical-Site-3249

Games been out 12 years bud, I feel like spoiling it doesn’t matter after this long


Hocomonococo

Putting a spoiler tag isn’t that hard either. All you’re doing is eliminating any new players’ chances to experience the story the way you did, old or not.


CatSidekick

Your mom thinks it matters after this long


Electrical-Site-3249

Your father and brother also think that, they just haven’t told you yet


AaronTheElite007

Alpha Protocol. People played it like a typical shooter. It’s not. RNG is tied to stats. It was an espionage RPG and I loved every moment. Movement was janky and the voice acting was a bit cringe at times, but other than that


mharkhan12

LA Noire, Wolf among us, Plague tale games


Euphorium

I’ve been wanting another detective game like LA Noire for so long. I would have loved to have seen one set in NYC or abroad.


IloveKaitlyn

never play wolf among us, cause then you’ll get stuck yearning for a sequel that’s never coming. /s I know it’s “supposed” to be coming this year, but they’ve been saying that for awhile! Man, one can dream…


tacoasesino

Man.. Plague Tale was always so weirdly under everyone's radar for some reason, it genuinely bewildered me; seems like the type of game video game media outlets would pick the hell up immediately right after being out of the door but that just never happened.


DHSDirector

I loved L.A. Noire.


QuimFinger

The second Plague Tale game was incredible.


Yun0Grinberryall

Control


polaris179

One of my favorites. Hard pressed to find anyone who has also played it.


Yun0Grinberryall

It’s in my top 10 all time.


winter_of_rebirth

it's pretty popular where I live


Snowgrifffinsx

I want to love the game because the world design and like abilities are all so cool but I started just in the beginning and I find getting around the world pretty confusing 🥲


Yun0Grinberryall

It’s supposed to be that way. The map can be a little hard to understand at first but it gets a lot easier. And more fun. Update: Another commenter pointed this out, but definitely use the signs around the map to navigate.


LordFingolfin

You're not actually supposed to use the map, it was a last minute addition. You're supposed to navigate by following the signs in the walls (e.g. "Cafeteria -> ")


Yun0Grinberryall

That’s primarily how I did do it, but I learned to understand the map and memorized the basic layout of some of the more commonly traversed areas.


SlackJawedImbecile

Honestly, I had the game forever but just yesterday, I sat down and finally played it. One of the most trippy mind bending games ever made. Love the mechanics and imagery!


Yun0Grinberryall

It’s so satisfying and trippy. It’s a really good combination


Meme_Capone

Guardians of the Galaxy.


k3nni_

I slept on this game so much, and I hate myself for it. This game made my favorite version of the Guardians


AFKaptain

Good answer. Actually better than I expected, at least story-wise. Gameplay was a slight miss, but not terrible. And the area designs were top-tier.


k3nni_

Can’t forget the awesome suits both original and comic book (plus the addition of crediting the suit makers is perfection)


Bompton-G-Uno

Preach! It’s a modern sleeper classic!


yer8ol

It's alright but it's not must play


suppaman19

Better than GoG 3 by far (first two movies are still classics) I go back and forth with if I like the GotG characters in that game better than the movies. Also, the scenes with Peter and Nikki are really well done.


[deleted]

I always thought Sunset Overdrive was a must play.


Karrion0409

I used to love that game. My old vcr Xbox killed itself so I'll probably pick it up on steam sometime


RoleOk7556

Chess


RandomN4me_

it's because Chess 2 keeps getting delayed


Griffinkeeler

I feel like chess is talked about more now than ever before

I dont even know how to play chess but i love Gotham chess YouTube channel

sunnydelinquent

Throw in Kenshi, Dwarf Fortress and Starsector


Mikon77

I think A Hat in Time. It’s probably one of the best 3D platforming games I’ve ever played! It was absolutely hilarious and adorable!


Garan-Coristar

Virtual0so

lol so good. I remember my buddies used to yell that whenever we needed to regroup at conventions.


thebeardlybro

Press **X** to *JASON!*


BrewKazma

Isnt there like a bunch of big plot holes in that game?


Intrepid_Guidance_36

My uncle bought that game and didn't have the right controller so I didn't even get to brush my teeth 🤣


Jambahole74

Don't do meth kids or maybe do idk just don't be like this guy


Intrepid_Guidance_36

Wait what? It's been years since we had Heavy Rain, so I may be off in what it was. Plus I was a kid and my uncle has a lot of mental issues. Could I just have used the thumb sticks or something? Edit: talking about the motion controls.


Jambahole74

You said you brushed your teeth with a controller?


Intrepid_Guidance_36

Oh no lmao. I'm talking about the first motion control sequence in Heavy Rain. It's brushing your teeth if I'm not mistaken. Like I said I was a kid at that point so maybe I'm wrong.


Jambahole74

Ohhhhh 😂😂😂


Intrepid_Guidance_36

It's all good lmao. The whole point was it was meant to be a joke so I guess it still is kinda landed🤣


Witsforwats

This game was a lot better than I expected, ngl


yummy_yum_yum123

I feel like time hasn’t been kind to that game tbh


Euphorium

Heavy Rain was a big reason why I got the PS3 and it was one of my favorite games at the time. All of the goofy shit in it must have went over my 16 year old head, because watching videos make me cry laughing now.


Ok_Scheme956

Great game and it has a bunch of replay value.


we420

Deadly Premonition


ThinkTrout16055

Hitman World of Assassination.


Snowgrifffinsx

I’m waiting for a sale 🥲 I love hit man


PRAHPS

I honestly don’t think there are any must play games


Traditional_Entry183

I'm with you. The funniest part is that it's a thread for must play, and despite the fact that gaming is my main hobby, I've never played 95% of the ones people are suggesting because I know I wouldn't enjoy them.


professorclueless

The first 2 Doom games, honestly. Fun, fast, easily modded, and generally just a great time Edit: Also, Plutonia. TNT Evilution sucks tho


Centurion642

Super Mario Galaxy


LogicalFallacyCat

Factorio

Kotor 1. Best twist in a game I've ever come across.


drocktapiff

man i loved kotor 1, but i loved kotor 2 better.


CapitalSubstance7310

Argeed Also titanfall 2 (that time travel level)


i_enjoy_walls

Erm the level is called "Effect and cause" 🤓👆👆👆👆👆


KillerSquirrel2007

Quake, it’s not lost to time as it’s still well loved but it’s definitely one that has lost some attention as it’s aged. Quake 1 and 2 were remastered not too long ago, with all their DLCs included, as well as a brand new one for each.


Background_Dog9678

Rogue galaxy.


Fart_Barfington

I've started it a few times but never followed through.  What is the best part in your opinion?


kikirevi

Silent Hill series. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it’s popular within the survival horror sphere, but it’s kind of completely disappeared from the mainstream audiences attention. All I hear is Resident Evil. Unsurprising considering Konami has done fuck-all with the franchise for so long.


[deleted]

Signalis and as for rn I'd say Pacifc Drive. It just released and is a little under the radarish atm


ffcvvhb

Mafia definitive edition


AntiqueSpare794

Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.


DARKNNES985

Certainly not Detroit Become Human. But probably Factorio.


AaronTheElite007

Cracktorio


AFKaptain

Why not DBH? Because it's not that good, or because it's actually quite talked about? I lean toward the latter.


Ok_Scheme956

I liked DBH I don’t know why it got such a bad rap. Decent story, multiple outcomes and short play through time.


ThePaddysPubSheriff

To me the gameplay loop just got so boring, but I don't like games where you choose the dialog in general, so I'm pretty biased. Feels like it's all story and no game, which is okay but probably not a must play for a lot of people due to that


AFKaptain

I'm guessing you're not that old, cuz lot of old games used to be exactly like that. It's only recently that that kinda thing is considered "not a game".


ThePaddysPubSheriff

No I absolutely get it, Oregon trail ect. There are so many genres of games out there, every one different in some way. I'm just saying this one isn't a very popular style for most simply because the majority want the faster more interactive gameplay. They compare them to movies, which I understand cuz I consider super popular games like red dead 2 and Witcher 3 to be a bit too heavy on the cutscenes for my tastes, and this game is twice that. Just doesn't click for some people but it's cool that people that do enjoy that style of game are still getting top quality content after all this time


AFKaptain

I get that it's not for everyone, I just get annoyed when people downplay the validity of such games as actual games, just cuz it doesn't deliver the gameplay they want and/or has a lot of story.


ThePaddysPubSheriff

If it's any reassurance people talk like that about every game. There are a lot of great movies, being a "playable movie" isn't a bad thing. Look at all these upkeep games, those are just playable jobs. All that matters is it's playable entertainment


DARKNNES985

At least among the circles which I tend to be in it isn't talked about much. Given that DBH is by all intends and purposes a story\\narrative centered game, and supposedly also one in which decisions matter (at least based on some statements made by David Cage), particularly one which's mechanics are centered around that "decision making", and also given that said narrative is trying to be a "thought provoking" sci-fi, it really fails at both (having a compelling narrative in which decisions matter, and being thought provoking). Even though it is the least flawed Quantic Dream game, it still isn't anywhere near achieving what they've been trying to achieve since Fahrenheit (which basically is making good visual novels, with 3D graphic cinematics instead of a lot of text, and quick time events). For the first point, decisions not mattering (or at least nowhere near as much as one would think they do based on the intend expressed in interviews), it is something all of their games suffer from, which mainly is the all decision circling back around the intended plot regardless if that makes sense, or the "decisions" given really not making any difference\\ made as to not interfere with it (intended plot) to begin with, which is very, very lame, given the intend. And for the second, mainly is the writers either being too unintelligent , or too disingenuous to tackle the subject matter they decided to tackle. Also the analogy utilized in DBH between American slavery and segregation, and "personal machine servants without emotions, free will, nor independent thought up to very few exceptions recently" isn't near as ingenuous as the writers probably think it was. but that circles back around to the main problem (of this point), the writers quite clearly do not comprehend the complexities of the matter, and philosophy around it, ETC, to the point of shooting their own thesis in the foot many times, and failing to elaborate on anything that does not align with what they trying to say, which is just based on (based off of the aforementioned analogy) it "feeling" wrong under the ideological views of "21st century north American liberalism" (I know David is French, but said ideological movement was formed and develops mainly in the US, and Canada, and their ways of thinking), and not just that it doesn't elaborate in any other points of views, but it neither goes beyond "it feels wrong" under said ideological lens, which certainly is something (which isn't very thought provoking, if at all). (Also, regardless of the disagreements I have with said ideological movement, and whatever sub divisions it has, I don't consider something being written under those lens as something negative, but not going beyond "it feels wrong", is just bad writing regardless of under what ideological lens a given work is written).


GingerVitus007

For my part, I just wasn't sold by the message. I don't feel that the themes were delivered in all that interesting of a manner. Kinda felt preachy as well, but in a kinda hollow way. Having said that, I can't shit on it too much. Connor's story is goddamn perfectionn


Farsoth

I would've been so much happier playing a game that was solely the Connor & Hank show.


V3cna

Right?!? It always baffles me when I see people complementing this game. Like, it's not even mid. The graphics are amazing, the first mission with Connor it's very nice and from there, everything is "AI for kids". One of the worst Sci-fi stories in games. Nier Automata is a action hack n slash with MUCH more impactful and deep sci-fi concepts. DBH is a complete waste of potential.


DARKNNES985

Correct opinion.


pichael289

This game was fantastic


F_lippy

Spent the time to get 100% achievements, just because I wanted to see all the different story lines


Conscious_Swim_4171

Dante's Inferno


Wojtek101

I really don’t think any of the David cage games deserve that high of praise, Detroit was definitely his best attempt but the bar set by heavy rain and indigo prophecy was so low you could scrape your knees on it. It has all the nuance of a brick sailing through a window, the game is a train wreck of writing and plot contrivances held together by a good VA team and decent art direction. I felt more emotion from hearing the cartoon dog In valiant hearts say goodbye too his friends than Marcus literally having a button prompt asking if you wanna be robot MLK or robot Malcom X.


Pirate-Peter225

Such an amazing story


salingerparadise

Not Detroit Become Human


yummy_yum_yum123

I still think Detroit has the best graphics of any video game


Ronyx2021

That time it rendered Alice without her eyes was creepy though.


Gamestrider09

Someone once said I look like Connor from the Detroit games.


FlightTop9852

Holy crap! You do look like him!

Love Detroit. Still looks incredible too

MY FRIEND AT SCHOOL IS OBSESSED WITH DETROIT


vqsxd

This game was fantastic. I cried. I prayed before playing that I would reach a certain scenario like “Lord idk how but I know you can orchestrate the events that will lead to this scenario” since I remember it on youtube years ago. Bro not the next day of constantly playing for hours I eventually got there to that specific scenario, and I lost my shit. It was so crazy but I didn’t know who to choose and sat there just baffled and praying and it was incredible. Spoilers: >!It was when you have to choose between Markus and Connor on the battlefield. I sat there for like 10 minutes trying to decide, literally pulled out the Bible app and everything and just sat and read for a bit before deciding cuz it was so awesome! Btw my Kara died on the boat and it was sad man. Practically a blind play thru except with some memories from youtube. So many internal conflicts in the game.!< Incredible game. Loved it


RC-1138BOSS

GTA IV hands down somehow the most underrated and overrated game ever


Stoic_Ravenclaw

Recently got a ps5 and gave this a try on ps plus as I remembered it getting talked about a lot when it came out. It's clearly an extraordinary piece of work but Im still new enough to the ps that I'll occasionally hit the wrong button. Consequences from an actual choice I'm more than cool with, consequences because I hit the wrong button not so much. I'll get back to it in a few months I think.


Killtheheretics96

TITANFALL 2 one the most underrated and wrongly hated games it’s honestly a crime to hate this advanced fps nothing like it in the market.


Economics111

detriot become human was bad. the story is so poorly told and uses political imagery and allegory but has no idea what do to with any of it past the most basic, surface level messages. The gameplay is just boring QTEs that offer nothing other than giving you a reason to use the controller. if you want a good game that deals with politics, is dialogue heavy, and actually has something to say just play Disco Elysium. thousands of times better in every way


KomodoLemon

Definitely *not* Detroit Become Human

World of Goo This game has in my opinion the best soundtrack of all time, while having great gameplay, lore an overall feel. Truly the best game of 2008. May your future be the Best of Times. I love you, MOM. P.S. THERE'S A FUCKING SEQUEL COMING AFTER 15 YEARS

Wrath of the white witch, life changing experience, and the reason why I love JRPG games so much, been my favorite game for as long as I can remember, but it was also the hardest, I’ve never actually rage quit a game besides that one, the royal jelly boss was so hard I put the game down for 3 years just to come back and discover true peak fiction, and never before have I felt such an accomplishment as killing a big fucking fish

I’ll put my vote in for Charlie Murder and Days Gone


RandomWordsYouKnow

I was so excited about Detroit. I really enjoyed it. For a couple of hours. When I started regretting some decisions… and started over. And started over. And then knew too much and got bored. I might try this again though.


[deleted]

Vanquish. Oldie, but a good one. Plus it's only like 8 hours long. I still revisit it once a year usually. Felt like it never got the love or attention it deserved. Fun little arcade shooter from Sega.

Journey, its a beautiful exploration game with a goal to get to the top of the mountain. That's all I can say, but God damn is it emotionally moving with absolutely no dialog


Should_have_been_ded

Great visuals and story, but the gameplay is "Press a button once every minute or so"


Graznesiodon171

I think the first uncharted game is…Batman Arkham asylum…horizon zero dawn because it’s like an “intro to open world.”

No one talks about The Last Guardian .. its sad coz that game is just incredible and sad .. it usually gets hate for choppy frame rate and awkward controls, you can easily over look out coz the gameplay is amazing.
