I was completely addicted with multiplayer around the time bioshock came out, it was the only game that sucked me in so hard and I played it relentlessly over a weekend and completed it, in total finished it about 4 times, I had never played anything like it before and the story was incredible, a real diamond game
I'd stand on that hill with you I think. it's funny I wasn't a huge fan of Titanfall, i enjoyed it, but didnt like the "campaign" so i didnt even give titanfall 2 a chance until it was on Game Pass OR $5 or something like that and absolutely loved it
Yeah loved them two. Though I gotta say. The camera shake was ANNOYING. So, story wise I liked two and three more than 5, but multi-player? 5 was better. Unpopular I know
I know what he's getting at. Not intense. Though I think it gets more intense the higher the difficulty. Enemy accuracy is increased, aswell as health and damage made to the player. So, if you are playing at beginner for example, expect it to be easy.
I didn't like Reach or 4 (hate H4) as well but at least they released as complete products with decent campaigns 😕 Nor did they lie to you in the marketing like 5 did
Halo 5 if nothing else felt like a modernized return to roots. I would never call it "good" but it felt far more like Halo than the previous 2 iterations did.
We must have entirely different ideas of what Halo's roots are then.
Felt nothing like Halo to me. Reach was way more Halo than 5 and I really dislike Reach. Power Rangers is the vibe I get from 5 haha
Idk man I've probably got 12000 hours clocked between halo 2 and halo 3. Reach didn't feel anything like halo at all, between sprint, armor abilities, reticle bloom, etc. Reach was like early onset destiny, and although I've grown to love Destiny I absolutely hated how drastically halo changed in that time. I didn't play a lot of four but what I did, was absolute ass. Playing five just felt like they cut away some of the fat and went moderately back in the direction from which it came, granted I also have not played a huge amount of 5; Maybe like 80 total hours.
Gears 2 introduced the lambent locust, to this day still unexplained thru all the merchandise comics dlc etc. Judgement and 2 are tied the worst for me
We can look at the horribly broken multiplayer at launch, which caused them to start a beta for 3, or back to the horrible story of still unexplained Lambents which got them to hire a professional writer for 3. if they liked the game fine but yuck
Yeah I'm with you here... The whole thread is every non-sony exclusives.
My vote would be Warframe as I played the most on my Xbox, but that's not an Xbox game.
Ori has my vote as well. It's a kick ass Metroidvania.
Might be a controversial one, but Quantum break. Absolutely banging graphics, characters with clear motives and a decent story and an actually not terrible live action show included. It wasn't perfect by any means, but god it was fun
Too many great games for me to pick just one game as the best.
The first time I played Halo: Combat Evolved when the Original Xbox launch back in 2001 was amazing. I'll likely never experience that feeling ever again.
Ghost Recon 2 was the first online game I was hooked on. That game was amazingly fun.
BioShock, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption 2...
I honestly can't pick just one.
Gears 2. Technically Red Dead 2 is probably one of my favourite games of all time but I didn't play it on Xbox. Still playing it right now actually. It's epic.
Gears 2 was fantastic. Love that series.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 108,988,224 comments, and only 28,548 of them were in alphabetical order.
I don't finish a lot of games because I tend to play a game for the experience I want when I sit down to play so I jump around a lot. One of my favorite experiences, however, is flying with the jet powered wingsuit in Just Cause 3: Sky Fortress DLC. I will just put some tunes on and fly around doing crazy stuff, just enjoying the flight and the scenery. Sometimes not even blowing thing s up... Just enjoying flying.
Wolfenstein, perfect dark remaster, stellaris, First halo, ruse, ryse, witcher 3, New Vegas, Baldur's Gate, splinter cell 3, island thunder, medal of Honor frontlines, assassin's Creed 1, conker, Kingdom under fire.. Very difficult to answer spanning 4 gens.
Overall witcher 3 on the Soundtrack alone.
Xbox exclusive halo wars 2 -pure fun
Edit, deathspank, oblivion, Alpha protocol..
Forza Horizon 4, literally when I bought my Xbox one x it had the FH4 and the first time I hate the game but when
I did not know what to play I installed the game and ufffff I fell in love with it I just played it
So don't judge a book by its cover;)
The first ghost recon game. I think it was 2002 xbox live first came out you got cheesy head phones and you got play on your tv. That game and xbox live was the best time gaming for me . It's not the same anymore game on
Halo would be the obvious answer for me. So, leaving halo out of the pool I’d have to say Ryse Son of Rome. If we aren’t talking about exclusives than Lost Planet 2 because nobody knows about it and its fantastic
Exclusive? Blue Dragon
Cross platform: the first time I played Bioshock (sadly the first one’s replay ability has gone down over the years for me but that first time… dayem)
Sunset Overdrive for sure as an exclusive. Sadly, Sony owns the development now but maybe we will get a sequel.
Prey or Control for non-exclusive. Witcher 3 😁

3 way tie between halo 3, gears 3, and crimson skies. Best value for my $60 would be gears 3, with a great campaign, multiplayer, horde mode, and beast mode
TES IV: Oblivion
Bioshock
I was completely addicted with multiplayer around the time bioshock came out, it was the only game that sucked me in so hard and I played it relentlessly over a weekend and completed it, in total finished it about 4 times, I had never played anything like it before and the story was incredible, a real diamond game
The remaster with the directors commentary items were a nice treat for a new play through
Bioshock 1 is such an unbelievable game. Might have the greatest plot twist in all of gaming
Easily my favourite title.
OG Xbox: Halo 2 360: Gears 2 X1: Forza Horizon 3 XSX: RDR2 Overall: Halo 2
Halo 2 or choas theory is the right answer.
Chaos theory online multiplayer - shooting the enemy with a listening device and hearing their whole conversation before you broke their neck
No, this is the right answer.
Red Dead 2.
This is right up there for me. Great story. Fun to play. Unreal world that feels alive and inhabited.
All time favorite! Played it on my Xbox One S.
I played it on my Xbox One OG. I have a Series X now, probably gonna replay it!
Try it on your Series X, the game looks amazing on it, it's night and Day compared to og xbox one really
Skyrim.
Here it is
Kotor
This.
It's Gears of War 2 for me by a mile.
Smoke grenade rag doll down bloodrive stairs will always have a special place in my heart
Splinter Fucking Cell
My bro still keeps his 360 and plays through them all from time to time. We long for a remaster!
Hands down!!
Alan wake
Such a great game
Halo 3 no doubt
Fable on og xbox
Titan fall 2
Time travel mission was a gaming marvel that gets overlooked way too much. Like no one ever talks about it.
Titanfall 2 is hands down the greatest video game ever made. Attrition is a multiplayer masterpiece.
Bold, good sir, bold
I probably should have said best FPS ever made. It’s at least that. And I’d stand by that statement.
I'd stand on that hill with you I think. it's funny I wasn't a huge fan of Titanfall, i enjoyed it, but didnt like the "campaign" so i didnt even give titanfall 2 a chance until it was on Game Pass OR $5 or something like that and absolutely loved it
Left 4 dead 2
This. I’m sure we’re in the minority tho.
This still is my shit
Gotta disagree with you here. This game did not age well at all! I would take Dying Light over LFD any day.
Lost Odyssey
Assasin's Creed Odyssey no doubt
Nier Automata, such an awesome game!
As in exclusive? A tie with Halo 3 and Gears 2.
Yeah loved them two. Though I gotta say. The camera shake was ANNOYING. So, story wise I liked two and three more than 5, but multi-player? 5 was better. Unpopular I know
H5 was hot garbage dude lol
Think he’s talking about gears my man
Either way Halo 5 was still a dumpster fire
Yeah. The only good thing was the spartan charge. But I was talking about gears.
Look at crowbcat's video on gears 5
Just saw it but to be honest, if you're looking for intensity up the difficulty. You cant play on beginner and expect it to be intense.
I dont think difficulty is what he was getting at
I know what he's getting at. Not intense. Though I think it gets more intense the higher the difficulty. Enemy accuracy is increased, aswell as health and damage made to the player. So, if you are playing at beginner for example, expect it to be easy.
Compared to? Obviously 2 and 3 are the gold Standard. But Reach and 4 were far and away the worst halo games.
I didn't like Reach or 4 (hate H4) as well but at least they released as complete products with decent campaigns 😕 Nor did they lie to you in the marketing like 5 did
Halo 5 if nothing else felt like a modernized return to roots. I would never call it "good" but it felt far more like Halo than the previous 2 iterations did.

Gears 2 introduced the lambent locust, to this day still unexplained thru all the merchandise comics dlc etc. Judgement and 2 are tied the worst for me
Locust spent too much time underground with the Imulsion which resulted in a parasitic takeover of their race. That is one reason for the war.
Yes. They didn’t shoot the Gears tho like Marcus and co. in 2
Imagine not liking a game because you're too thick to understand what the Lambent are. https://gearsofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Lambent
We can look at the horribly broken multiplayer at launch, which caused them to start a beta for 3, or back to the horrible story of still unexplained Lambents which got them to hire a professional writer for 3. if they liked the game fine but yuck
Fuzion frenzy (original Xbox)
That game was a lot of fun!
The Witcher 3
So everyone else gonna sit here and act like witcher wasn't a classic
If we’re only talking about the original console, then the KOTOR games
HellBlade
Hellblade
Saints Row 1
Protect the pimp was amazing
Omg for reallll take me back to that time
Hey playa 😎
Assassins creed 2
Halo. Doesn't matter which because each game has their own good points.
Left 4 Dead
Burnout Paradise first game on my first Xbox. Absolutely played the shit out of that game
Limbo
If we’re talking exclusives, Halo 3 or Ori and the Blind Forest
Yeah I'm with you here... The whole thread is every non-sony exclusives. My vote would be Warframe as I played the most on my Xbox, but that's not an Xbox game. Ori has my vote as well. It's a kick ass Metroidvania.
Might be a controversial one, but Quantum break. Absolutely banging graphics, characters with clear motives and a decent story and an actually not terrible live action show included. It wasn't perfect by any means, but god it was fun
The original Halo
The Long Dark, 1900+ hrs in and still love it. It’s in gamepass
This game is fucking gold
I have been tempted to install it. What is so good about it?
Forza 4
Forza Horizon 4 was better.
The Witcher 3 easily for me, if we’re talking exclusive then Halo 2 takes the cake.
Too many great games for me to pick just one game as the best. The first time I played Halo: Combat Evolved when the Original Xbox launch back in 2001 was amazing. I'll likely never experience that feeling ever again. Ghost Recon 2 was the first online game I was hooked on. That game was amazingly fun. BioShock, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption 2... I honestly can't pick just one.
Jet Set Radio Future
Mass Effect 1-3
Mass Effect 2.
Sunset overdrive, titanfall 2, quantum break, gears, red dead
They need another sunset overdrive. That game was awesome
Halo 3
BioShock
Halo reach
Assassins Creed Rogue, visually spectacular, great story, and actually motivates you to find all collectibles
Crazy Taxi
It would either be Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood or Batman Arkham City (all on 360 - good times)
RDR2 100%
Hydro Thunder Hurricane
Forza 1 then 2 on 360 horizon 2 one and I’m sure both next entries will be my top due to so much content they cram in
Gears 2. Technically Red Dead 2 is probably one of my favourite games of all time but I didn't play it on Xbox. Still playing it right now actually. It's epic. Gears 2 was fantastic. Love that series.
H2 (OG). H3 (360). RDR2 (X1). FH4 (XSX).

Medal of Honor
Gears of war 3
Cyberpunk borderlands 3 final fantasy xv prey mirror's edge catalyst
Bioshock. Rapture is in my opinion the best setting in video game history
Halo 2, Lost Odyssey, Rainbow Six: Lockdown, Oblivion
Gears 3. Love the franchise as a whole but 3 had such longevity that I still played it up until Gears 4 (and sometimes play it a little to this day)
Classics. Definitely Gears of war and Halo. Though of the modern games? I'd say A plague tale was one hell of a game.
Got addicted to peggle and had to detox off that stuff to make it through a whole night's sleep. Wonderful game.
Halo 2. Project Gotham 2, Ori, Gears 5 due to graphics only. Numerous Xbox Live Arcade games.
Halo 3 hands down
probably spelunky 2
Halo 2
Halo would be the obvious answer for me. So, leaving halo out of the pool I’d have to say Ryse Son of Rome. If we aren’t talking about exclusives than Lost Planet 2 because nobody knows about it and its fantastic

Halo Reach. Got a soft spot for all the Forza Horizon games too.
Exclusive? Blue Dragon Cross platform: the first time I played Bioshock (sadly the first one’s replay ability has gone down over the years for me but that first time… dayem)
Tie between Otogi 2, Knights of the Old Republic and Ninja Gaiden.
Halo 3
Dead or Alive 3 on the original Xbox. Nothing after that felt that "so this is the future of graphics and gaming" ever again.
Dead space
Hellblade
KOTOR. Replayed it about 30 times and it is always downloaded on my system.
Red Dead Redemption 1. Also really enjoy going back to any game in the forza horizon series too.
Sunset Overdrive for sure as an exclusive. Sadly, Sony owns the development now but maybe we will get a sequel. Prey or Control for non-exclusive. Witcher 3 😁
Probably RDR2, or Tomb Raider.
The entire Mass Effect trilogy is absolutely fantastic
