What is your favorite game?

[Ultimate Goose]

My favorite game for the last year or so is Ark: Survival Evolved! I've been a gamer for over 40 years. There is just too many titles to list, lol.

I hear ya, though not quite as long at it xD, I would say a little over 20 years.

[Chompy Said]

General Chaos.

Tom clansy's rainbow six siege

[Jesus]

PUBG, Black ops 4 for Zombies and pumped for Mortal Kombat 11. Hoping next trailer they have better music choice. Oh, I almost forgot Resident evil series, Metal Gear because i'm Fascinated of the cold war.

It’s literally a tie between C&C: RA2- Yuris revenge and Halo 3. The only two games where I had soo much that I can keep returning any time and still have that kind of enjoyment.

[LelulaGames]

I keep going back to Minecraft. I'll stop for the longest time and then just feel like I need a fix. I usually end up downloading a new pack and playing a few dozen hours of it again before putting it aside.

The other one I can't seem to stop playing lately is Radical Sweeper... A Rouge like mine sweeper game. I always have to go back and try to get a little further in.

[Fletch]

I got to say, the best game or games I ever played were Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. I wasn't as happy with Mass Effect 3 but still enjoyed the game play better than most other games I have played

[GhostGalaxy]

Mass Effect trilogy

[Fletch]

Look at that. We posted about the same games almost at the same time.

The level design, the enemies, the weapons, the humor and most of all the main character himself is why I love this game to death.

Even though I don't play the game as much as I used to anymore, this game still remains my one game to rule them all because of the effect it had on me.
Before Duke3D my video game life was just playing random games on my Sega Mega Drive for an hour or so, games like Alien 3 or an old Punisher game, never really got hooked.

But then Duke Nukem came into my life, I remember the story like it was yesterday:

I was just 6 years old, yes 6 years old, playing in my room until my dad came in and told me he had hidden something in the house and that it was hot.
I looked around the house and he kept telling me I was getting warm or getting cold until I looked under the mat in front of the fireplace and there it was Duke Nukem 3D, (it was actually the Total Meltdown PS1 port, but still the same game), after I fired it up, started the first level and heard Duke say the words "Damn, those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!", I was hooked!

I played all evening with my parents watching and laughing at the pop culture references, Duke's jokes, the violence, the weapons(especially the shrink ray) and even the sexual references, I was 6 years old and they laughed at this R rated game with me.
The next day at school, all I could think about was Duke3D, shooting up the aliens followed by Duke's one liners and such. As soon as I got back home I spent the whole evening playing it again, being even more amazed by the game and this was all on the flawed PS1 port of the game.
I didn't get to play the full fledged PC version until years later when we got a worth while PC, but after I did and got introduced to the incredible Duke Nukem community and the endless amounts of mods, maps and TCs, Duke Nukem 3D became even better for me when I already thought it was the best thing ever.

Duke 3D and Duke himself had a serious impact on me and my overall personality, I played all the spin offs, enjoyed DNF and have built up a massive Duke Nukem collection.
As much as it pains me, I still hold out hope that Duke can make a come back one day.

[Liptn]

I feel you on that one, mate. Duke should definitely get the DOOM'16 quality sequel treatment.

[Cphka]

Hearts of Iron 4 - the best grand strategy game ever created. I never get tired of seeing my armored divisions smash through the enemy lines and encircle the infantry. Not even after 900 hrs.

World of Warcraft - A great game that I once played for waaay too many hours. I got so many great memories and there will never be another great game like that for me, with such an impact on my life.

[Oxaile]

BeamNG.Drive/Automation. As a car enthusiast, i love creating a car with very fine details and then driving it in a sandbox with basically no limits.

[Smackems]

FF7 cuz I'm old

[^Hellersche]

For me my Favorite Game is Final Fantasy X on PS2, 280 hours of Playtime got all the weapons and stuff and i still hate the Chocobo race to this day as the most annoying Minigame ever in a Videogame. xD

I complete Gothic 1 once in a year since release, never gets old.

It warms my heart to see Gothic in the first two pages on this international forum!

Gothic, the unrivalled pinnacle of video games, the holy Grail of action RPG, the best product digital media or any media has ever produced or will produce, .the game, which destroyed all future RPG's for me, facing their compared, absolute inferiority.
Soon it will be 20 years and nothing even comes close. Sadly even the developers Piranha Bytes seem to have lost their way, together with the people who made Gothic what it is.
Allthough their most recent game, Elex, has been a huge improvement over their last two games Risen 2 and 3, it still maybe 10% of what a good Gothic game should be in my opinion. Just like the trend seems to dictate, it is lacking RPG features, aswell as the many characters and dialogue, good combat system (yes I like the old Gothic 1+2 combat system), well designed, compact game world, simulation of NPC's and interaction with the world. Not taking you by the hand and having some trust in the player (no god damn map markers and shit like that. Just a map. If you buy one. NPC's explain the way etc).

I love Gothic's setting, the grim, rough colony of convicts imprisoned in a magical barrier to mine ore, who revolted against their captors and formed their own society with it's own logical hierarchies and rules. I also love the german voiceacting which is not comparable to the piss poor job they did on the english one, which has it's own goofy charme, though.
The sequel Gothic 2, together with it's addon "Night of the Raven", improves on everything except the main story, which only serves to dive into the great atmosphere of Gothic anyways, so it's not really a problem.

To this day there is an active modding community who made amazing stuff like the directx11 patch or l'hiver which greatly improve visuals aswell as many Story mods with hundreds of hours of gameplay.

I could write pages and pages about Gothic and my thoughts on it, but I think the less you know, the better the experience would be, so I'd just suggest that you play it, since you probably didn't. If you can get the german version with subtitles, that would probably help. Also I think it is best played with keyboard only.

I am not sure how much of my love for Gothic is nostalgia, but I know one thing:

Gothic will always be my number one.

[Oysterhead]

Sure, you couldn't have known. Just never mention the name Arcania to me ever again.

[TheMightyWyvern]

Aye aye captain

[EngulfingDarkness]

Cant agree more, I found both risen 2 and 3 to be fun games to play, they had that gothic vibe of a sort but risen 1 was perfect only a bit short.

[MacSalad]

I've been playing games for quite a while. I started with Atari playing games like Moon Sweeper, Warlords, and Asteroids. One of my favorite games as a kid was the original Bionic Commando on the NES. I would say recently one of my favorites has to be Bloodborne.
