There has been a lot of games in my life: tons really. As I’m sure a few or most of you will feel the same.
As I am old (lol) I remember the excitement of the first Zelda, and the annoyance of the last part of Zelda 2. What I am trying to ask is what game gave you the “wow” factor.
I recently bought Gears 3 and thought it had a great campaign, but to be honest I felt more for Super Mario on the snes, I wanted the little guy to get to the end.
Equally ff7, which I’m sure a lot of you have played: that basically caused me to care deeply about the fate of the chaeracters. Indeed FF12 may have a “better” story yet I can’t remember anything like : Midgar, Golden saucer, Emerald weapon (#### him :)) etc.
The best multiplayer I have had: Mario Kart…
My point is today (myself included) goes for stats, yet we forget about the fun, or substitute it for having a better percentage than the “next” man.
So a question… What game did you have the most fun in?
Hard to say. Before Halo my favorite game of all time was probably Super Mario 64. I still do think that Mario is awesome. It’s actually one of the few video game franchises that manage to keep the game fun with new additions to gameplay.
> My point is today (myself included) goes for stats, yet we forget about the fun, or substitute it for having a better percentage than the “next” man.
I agree. Publicly-visible stats are the cancer of the gaming community, giving rise to the egomaniacal pains in the neck that are its tumors.
> So a question… What game did you have the most fun in?
Classic? Probably Ocarina of Time or Pokemon Red, both due to glitches.
Over my entire life? Three-way tie: Reach for its configurability and Forge, Red Faction: Guerrilla for its freedom and atmosphere, or Brink for its gameplay and story.
