Favourite Game/s History?

[Napoléon]

I'm in a kinda bored mood and fancy discussing some games.
If you're not into gaming in the slightest then you're in the wrong part of the forum I'm just gonna give a bit of my history when it comes to gaming, so brace yourself!

Here goes.
I have several favourite games. My first 'favourite' game was rayman. At the age I played it I didn't understand fuck all of what was going on in it. I just enjoyed playing it. I didn't even aim to complete the levels. Another game which I enjoyed of the same time was Earthworm Jim. Earthworm Jim was the very first game I remember playing properly. And it was fucking awesome.

After this came the ps1 years, and I know many may say their favourite game from this era was crash bandicoot, but fuck that. I liked a game called SOUL REAVER. That game was frickin epic. Again at the time I barely cared for the story, it was just fun interacting with the game world and doing all the cool things you could do.

After this I got a ps2, and around the same time got the original shitbox. By far my favourite game of this time was star wars KOTOR. This game is quite frankly a masterclass. It was the first game which I got thoroughly involved with in terms of story, and i'll never forget the amazing times i've had with this one. I still remember to this day when I actually figured out that the main character you were playing as was the most badass sith lord in the whole galaxy. That was a jizz in your pants moment!

The ps2 had a whole load of cool games, but my favourite games here were the mortal kombat series, and GTA san andreas. GTA san andreas is quite possibly the greatest game ever created in my opinion.

Onto the ps3 then. I have to say my favourite game on the ps3 is fallout 3. It's also the first game I've ever 'platinumed', or completed to 100%. Why fallout 3? Because of the sheer scope of what it allows you to do. Up until playing it I couldn't even comprehend that a game could be so massive and immersive. After this though I went back and discovered oblivion. Another favourite game of mine. I first played oblivion a good two years after it was released however, so I didn't get the wow factor from it I probably should. Still a brilliant game though.
My final favourite game i'd like to mention is Mass Effect 2. Although i've never played the original mass effect 1 (being a proud ps3 only owner ) I still appreciate all this game has to offer. And again the story from bioware was absolutely epic.

This is a pretty long read, so thanks for giving it the time of day if you have.

I just wanted to get some real discussion going about some games, as there doesn't seem to be much on these atheist forums!
So feel free to share some favourite games of your own, or any moments which you have particularly enjoyed about gaming.

Thanks again, and please post away! I'm eager to hear my fellow atheists talk some gaming

I do not remember the first game this platform played, but I deem it likely that it was minesweeper.

Mass effect 2 wouldn't have been nearly so incredible if I hadn't played 1 and gotten to see what my choices in that game did. The Rachni queen is out and moving around the galaxy again, and the Krogan genophage is over. Ashley is dead and I didn't cheat on Liara T'Soni once I finally played through my continuity game (Aerzia) awaiting ME3 And Mass Effect three will blow everything out of the water.

I have a similar thing going on with the elder scrolls... I am immersed in the game's story to the point that even if the game sucks: I will still play it to know the story behind it better. And Skyrim, at least, is not going to suck

I suppose a great deal of my gaming history is in WoW... which i unexpectedly dropped like a hot pile of shit once I started playing Rift. I'm not so into talking about gaming at the moment... I've been a little busy learning to play MoO2 and MoM, which are decent games if you don't hack with creative or cheat by casting way too much Earth to Mud

Rome Total War

I'm playing The Witcher right now & it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. One of the coolest intros I've ever seen for an RPG as well.

Yeah I'm propper bummed that I haven't played the first. But like I said I still appreciate what the game is, and it's definitely one of the best i've played.

And you're right. Skyrim is most definitely NOT going to suck. I reckon as soon as that comes out, I can say goodbye to my life.

After this came the ps1 years

What console did you play Rayman on? I had it on ps1, and it was also my first "favourite" game. I was also playing Crash Bandicoot at that time and Worms, because Worms is pretty much the best multiplayer game ever written

original shitbox.

Oh, you're one of those. I never really understood console fanboyism.



KoTOR was a great game (I loved HK-47 ), the follow-up was fun but a little disappointing.
I really liked Oblivion, when you first come out of the sewer and see the surrounding landscape, I must have sat staring at the screen with my mouth hanging open for a good 10 minutes!
I'm not much of a shooter fan, but Halo was very good (and multiplayer is awesome). Great storyline too, and the soundtrack is amazing.
I loved Dead Space too, nothing beats that "holy fuck, I think I need to change my trousers" feeling. Never got round to completing it though.

These days I only have my laptop with me at uni to play games on, so it's mostly WoW and Civ4, but i'll probably pick up a few new console games over the summer, anyone have any recommendations?

I played rayman on the ps1. Like I said I barely understood what I was doing in it, but I still remember having loads of fun on it.
Worms? Holy shit forgot about that, I actually bought worms armaggedon for my ps3 from the ps store!

original shitbox.

Oh, you're one of those. I never really understood console fanboyism.

I'm not a fanboy in the slightest. I refer to the original xbox as the original shitbox because I had no end of problems with it. Aside from it completely destroying discs it blew up after 5 months. When you compare that to a ps2 which lasted 9 years without fail you can kinda see why I call it a shitbox

Listen Meatbag! Lol HK-47 was a mint character. Despite all the negative reviews I actually still enjoyed the second edition of KotOR. It wasn't really obsidians fault IMO, they did what they could in order to get the game out quickly enough so that lucas arts didn't throw a tantrum. The only thing that was weak in that game was the story, but when you consider KotOR to be mainly story based, it does damage the game somewhat yeah.
Oblivion is amazing. I think i've played around 250 hours. Thats all I have to say for that game
Shooters? Yeah never been that big of a fan, but i'm enjoying black ops at the moment seen as all of my friends play that too. My KD is currently 1.82 which i'm happy about
Never played dead space except for the demo. I don't like games that make me shit my pants

These days I only have my laptop with me at uni to play games on, so it's mostly WoW and Civ4, but i'll probably pick up a few new console games over the summer, anyone have any recommendations?

I'd say Mortal Kombat. That's the next game on my list. Before you buy though probably check out the demo, so if you enjoy that then I guess go and buy it. Other wise it's LA Noire.
Not sure what else really, they are the only console games I see worth my time at this point.

[Faith No More]

These are my favorite games in order of the generation of consoles they came from starting with the 8-bit nintendo.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Battlefield 3
Rage
Ocarina of Time 3D(Of course you'd have to buy a 3DS first but I bought one specifically to get this game)

DEMON'S SOULS. You won't regret it! Trust me! But it now! Hand your money over to ATLUS!

I think I've seen a video review of that. I think they said it was very dark and difficult. Could be wrong though. Not suggesting either of those things are bad either mind you.
