I only play one game consistently, Street Fighter 4. Scrubs need not apply, don't pick it up if you aint got the gaming aptitude.
I generally give most games a go, but unless there is competitive multiplayer I get bored...... generally blitzing everything once then moving on. If it's good I'll return maybe in a few years and blitz it again. FPS multiplayer lost me after modern warfare, played up until black ops 2 though in the naïve assumption it would get better. Rocked a pretty high KD as well in all of em.
Replayed so far, Mass Effect series, Final Fantasy 7/9, Elder Scrolls, tried arkham asylum - don't think it aged well, couldn't finish it again. Few others I'm probably forgetting.
I'm about to finish Shadow of Mordor, bit repetitive. Arkham Asylum with LOTR lore essentially. Might go and finish it now seeing as I aint sleeping.
But my all time favourite, battle for middle earth 2........... EA shut down the servers a few years back. That game was the best. RTS medieval units with LOTR lore injected. All units were race specific and every race was fantastically unbalanced to the point were it was balanced.
Honourable mention; Star Wars Battlefront.
And my god, the stupid phantom hitboxes and/or bad character models is enough to drive anyone insane.
And the stun locking, oh the stun locking. I realise I'm almost troll baiting here. But.
That game was bad, it wasn't hard, it was just bad. So so bad.
The difficulty, it was famed for, was artificial like civ 5's difficulty.
It gave you a one on one duelling system to fight hordes of enemies, that included with the aforementioned is the only reason it was remotely challenging. That game really disappointed me.

A year or so ago I would have said Mass Effect, and I still love Mass Effect like crazy, but having played Dark Souls 2 now, I have to say that any series that can have a game literally be a knock-off version of an earlier game and still be brilliant is clearly doing something right. I can't justify not calling that my favorite now.I never got to play the original, can't find it anywhere for the Xbox and my laptop cant run it........... even though I can run the sequel.
Other than that, I've been a Nintendo fan since I was a kid, so I have an enormous soft spot for Super Smash Brothers. That shit is like concentrated nostalgia for me, with the added benefit of just being a lot of fun to pick up and play. I'm loving the new one, right now.
