Crucnh time people. I want to know your views on the best game ever made and why. any genre or catergory, and please people defend your game as others will attack

peace

Best game ever made? i'd have to go with Sonic CD, even though i haven't played it in forever.

Disgaea. It's such a huge and expansive game with great storyline and non-linear play...lot's of customization and unique ideas for the Tactics genre...

Disgaea. Definitely.

sonic or 007 or the old zelda i cant make my mind up :bangin:

one of the old zeldas or the orginal arcade classic Donkey Kong

multiplayer: goldeneye 007
single: mario bros 3

Earthbound in japan mother 2

multiplayer: goldeneye 007
that ruled thats wat i ment by 007 , i was the best ever :happy: (let me hav my moment)

Final Fantasy Tactics, for the PSX, tons of secrets after the game is over, great story, good tactical fighting system.


Strider, best platformer

Marble Madness, best weird game

Galaga, best shooter

GT2 ( or GT4 with Logitech Wheel), best racing game

Shining Force 1/2/3 best old school RPG

Perfect Dark - best multiplayer shooter

Counter-Striker, best team FPS


SaGa Frontier 2 - WORST GAME EVER



oh yea, SF3:3rd Strike, most intricate fighting system in a 2D plane.

oh, i change m choice to Galaga. a triple-a arcade game.

the original super mario bros 3 on nes. no remakes or ports just the original!

Final Fantasy VII for PS. Revolutionized game play. Some of u guys probly are to young to have played it when it was the best.

Asteroids cos without it there wouldnt b the games there r now!!! :happy:

Idk What To Pick All Im Gonna Say Is Nintendo.

Well, it has to be one of these three, Super Mario Brothers 3 or the Original Super Mario Brothers, or The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, they rule!

hmmmmm, i think....grand theft auto, san andreas, thats good, vice city is good too, all the tony hawk games are excellent.....i just want attention....

have you noticed how mostly all the games have been Nintendo

Either half-life 1 or ocarina of time

Goldeneye 007, every day after school for probably 2 years straight we had people on my street playing that. You could never get bored of that game. I'm not really sure why we stopped playing :)

One of the better newest games: God of War. It's a fairly short single player game, but I think it was really really good.

AHHHH!!!! Its a three way tie for my heart! I can't choose between "tetris", "Pac Man" and "Ratchet &Clank"!
Tetris needs no explanation.
Pac man, hes a circle, that eats dots, and is chased by ghosts. The sheer randomness speaks for itself.
and ratchet& Clank is an amazing game from insomniac with great graphics, Tons of imaginative weapons and gadgets, and The re-playability of...well, something realy re-playable.

Right up there with tetris is Lumines. It's SUCH a great game.

Owch you guys haven't played enough naming recent games and such.

Besides this erroneous topic (cmon, if you haven't played 20 years worth of games, your vote just doesn't count), here are my nomina (ones that haven't been mentioned nearly enough):

Most playable per MB:
Civilization

Most Addictive:
Baldur's Gate
Half-Life

Most Annoyingly Addictive:
Diablo II

Something Pre-Modern:
Ultima VII

Something nigh on impossible:
Railroad Tycoon

Something Classic:
Donkey Kong Jr
(don't know what this is? it (once) was a hand held, produced by Nintendo - you know the LCD games that would clock score @ 999...

Something MMO:
Reign (okay, okay, i -was- as GOD at this one. Ask someone about the time I actually won a round without actually playing)

Something totally unknown, but perhaps the best Turn based multiplayer strategy game ever:
Stars!

Something ...Spectrum-y:
Paperboy, Manic Minor

Something BBC-micro-ey:
L

Something just damn good:

System Shock II

Something Legendary and I want to play it now:

ps2: Devil may cry 2
x-box: Halo 2
gamecube: that mario game where u get dat super soaker gun that can be a jetpack (watever its called)
anything else: tonyhawks underground 2

I have to go with The Sims 2. Majorly addicting, totally pointless. Could you ask for more? :thumbup1:

Morrowind: Elder scrolls III, the freedom you got in this game is as good as an orgasm. And we got GTA, love the Grand Theft Auto series, remember when I got GTA I to my PS, ah, memories.

The best game ever was Super Mario Bros 3 for NES

i got loads but if i had to narrow it down it would be:

PC: Counter Strike, (only online)
PS2: GTA San Andreas (Its so Adictive but i dunno why)
PS1: Air Combat (crap graphics, but great gameplay)
Xbox: Halo 2 (Great Gameplay and graphics)

FFVII is amazing

multiplayer: goldeneye 007
single: mario bros 3
Word. I can identify with that. I'm a big fan of halo 1 and 2 though.

Imma have to say Chrono Trigger..

Man I beat that game when I was 7 years old... Like literally 15 times..

final fantasy 7 is one of the best games i every played

hmmm...either of the metroid primes for adventure.
Halo 2 for FPS.
mario 64 for platformer
tetris for puzzle
silent hill 2 for horror/survival(better than 3? oh yeah)
age of empires 2 expansion for RTS
fire emblem(the new one) for turn based strategy.
FFX-2/pokemon emerald for RPG
And I have to say castlevania:aria of sorrow and metroid:zero mission for handheld games.

i think Ocarina Of Time would have to be the best ever game in my opinion.
Or Tetris!

halo halo halo halo halo :nuke:lyer:rm_polar_

I have a few

Kingdom hearts
Sims 2
Ratchet and clank 1, 2, and 3.
jak 3

I only have ps2 and a computer so I would'nt know about the other systems

I would have to say Halo2 or GTA: San Andreas. anybody played Playboy the mansion?

Don't make me pick a single Final Fantasy!

RPG-wise, it's difficult to find a better game than a FF, IMO.

I have a tie between Final Fantasy 7, kingdom hearts, and Final Fantasy x.
I havent yet finished Final fantasy 7 but am having a great time on it.Kingdoms hearts has an awsome story line and great ending also i think there is a great little amount of things u can do after ur've clocked it.Final Fantasy x is a hard long game that takes time and effort an awsome roll playing game.So um...ya:lmfao:

Metal Gear Solid series, resident evil series and final fantasy series ^^

half life 2!

half life 2!
half life 1!

GT3(Not GTA3).

Wait, I Change my vote back to Sonic CD. It's classic Sonic action not seen since ever. a Just brilliant game, and there's time travel.

Americas Army

there are 2 - the street fighter II series &the legend of zelda: ocarina of time
PERIOD.:mf_brucel

AudioWave, you are ***!! Just look at your avatar.

i think my favorite game has to be Devil May Cry I just love the game

Devil May Cry 3 I mean

Go back to RE4, you idiot. it's a much better game.

halo 2 pwns sonic was always fun soniv battle = fun

halo 2 pwns sonic was always fun soniv battle = fun
You know, punctuation helps to make your posts understandable.

super mario 64

Either Kingdom Hearts:Chain of Memories,or one of the games based on the SCUMM engine.

Descent.

"Star Wars: TIE Fighter"
Graphics ahead of it's time, massively detailed gameplay (come on, you used every friggin' key on the keyboard!), great story, plenty of missions. Starfighter games have gone downhill from there...

Also worth mentioning are:
"Metal Gear Solid" - the whole concept was genius, and the execution was perfect.
"Wolfenstein 3D" - the first ever First-Person Shooter. What more do I need to say...?
"Grand Theft Auto" - another genius idea like no other in it's time
"Indianapolis 500: The Simulation" - there was stuff in that game that racing game developers just don't care about any more. They could learn a few lessons from that game.

super smash bros melee- =]
Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4 - just got it now addicted on unlocking all the characters
tales of symphonia - long rpg

Smash Bros Melee, hands down. SSBM owns, and it has stood the test of time.

I don't care much for that oldschool stuff anymore. It had it's time to shine way back when, but there are better games now...I'm not gonna say that Super Mario World is BETTER than today's games simply because it was released earlier. But if I had to pick a classic, I'd definitely go with Super Mario World. It was better than the original Super Mario Bros and SMB3 combined.

SSBM definatly way better than all sonic games as sonic sucks and is ***

omfg i forgot Tetris.

tetris sux

Most of you wont even know what this is but, Fable is my favorite.

hehe my dad has fable the lost chapters it looks cool, but my fave would have 2 be kingdom hearts 1 and 2, rachet and clank 1, 2, and 3, pokemon lol.
=====
I have a few
Kingdom hearts
Sims 2
Ratchet and clank 1, 2, and 3.
jak 3
I only have ps2 and a computer so I would'nt know about the other systems


im with u. i love all the rachet and clank games, plus jak n daxter and i LOVE kingdom hearts 1 n 2. oh and also the sims 2! i also like pokemon lol
=====
tetris sux

u suk lol

Well, since it's been revived, Game Informer says that Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii may officially take the spot of best game ever.
But, from what I've played, I'm saying Disgaea 2 atm.

Yeah I heard TP's pretty good. However, out of the games that I've played, for PC it's Counter Strike: Source, PS2 it's Need For Speed Underground 2, Gamecube it's Super Smash Bros: Meelee and for Xbox it's Halo.

Colossal Cave Adventure.

Dragonball z Budokai Tenkaichi 2

Donkey Kong Country 2 would be my favourite game, it had great characters, fantastic graphics, supurb music and fun gameplay.

Final Fantasy VII for PS. Revolutionized game play. Some of u guys probly are to young to have played it when it was the best.
FF7 is an overhyped piece of rubbish.

It's one of the few games to live up to that innovation bull shit Nintendo has been pulling.

SSBM definatly way better than all sonic games as sonic sucks and is ***
Ignore this, at this time I had only played Shadow and Sonic Heroes.

All anime games suck not just because they are based of anime but because they are rushed and poorly made, the gameplay engines are all similar and lame.

@paranoia: Wuzzat?
@wheelieboi: No.
@GWIA: Sadly, I'm going to agree with the anime-based games thing. I've not yet seen a game based off an anime that was really great; generally, they're just average, if that.

Also, I'm starting to debate between Disgaea 2 and Okami for my favorite game.

It's like that with lots of commercial games, although anime ones always seem worse like I have a DBZ game and a Narnia game, I enjoyed the Narnia one but the DBZ one was so meh. However ther Unfaboulous game is worse than any Anime game ever, it involves getting punch and dancing...

@paranoia: Wuzzat?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure

Pong.

Ah...that's a classic.

Either Kingdom Hearts:Chain of Memories,or one of the games based on the SCUMM engine.
CoM was sub-par at best. It was one of the worst games on the GBA, right down there with "Unfabolous" and the ones where you dress up Barbie's dogs.

PacMan - An oldie but a goodie.

You guys are crazy. The greatest game would have to be a RPG. Personally, my vote would be for FF VII. But Pokemon? Sims? DRAGON BALL Z??? Please...

Doom.

sims was a good concept
it was the first game where you actually were the master of what happened... it sold millions.

also, half life.

Soul Calibur 3. Along with any of a hundred fighting games. You know what? As intense as Hulk Ultimate Destruction was, my vote goes to LOZ: Twilight Princess for the Wii.

Half-Life 2 is up there. So is Morrowind.
Both were quiet awesome

yes.
who's played the new morrowind?
if so, is it any good?

Oblivion?

Oblivion?
That game is up there as well, I loved it

Ocarina of Time and Warcraft

Starting with most favorite: Pokemon Red/Blue, Golden Sun (only the first one), Final Fantasy X, X-2 (although the battle system blew goats), Katamari Damacy, Guitar Hero, Gran Turismo 3 and 4, Starfox (the first one on GC, the RPG one), Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, Xenosaga.

I didn't like Zelda all that much because I played it after a lot of RPGs, and so I couldn't stop thinking how like all other RPGs ever made Zelda was, when, in truth, all other RPGs totally ripped off Zelda. It just seemed like such a typical game to me.

Ocarina of Time and Warcraft
I liked zelda as well, but I didnt think it was an all time great

btw, your avatar is disturbing

yes.
who's played the new morrowind?
if so, is it any good?
http://gprime.net/board/showthread.php?t=9871

Pokemon Red = my renewed obsession.

Sims is too hard and you get nothing really all that great in the end. FFX was great along with all the 2-D Zelda games (except 2, yuck). I really like the Dark Cloud series too.

Oh and can't forget about Elder Scrolls.

morrowind (the third) would have to be up there. not for graphics but for game play definitely.

i have the TES construction set which lets me create levels. so that also may influence my opinion on the game!

i am a big mario fan so i would have to say super mario bros (original) for the NES (nintendo entertainment system) lol brackets... lol random

Another World Ftw!! <3 <3!

An oldie but a goodie! Check my thread about it http://gprime.net/board/showthread.php?t=10069

Includes download link (PC VERSION)

:D

Super Smash Bros. for the 64 was fun. I never really liked anything else for the N64 though. Except Goldeneye.

Proof. (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris#Those_who_may_be_able_to_defeat_Chuck )

Pokemon Stadium wasn't that great, I find the Pokemon on the Game Boy to be better.

FF 7 all the way!!!

yeah..
and ffx

have you noticed how mostly all the games have been Nintendo

yeh strangely enough nintendo seems to be the only system that has a novelty effect..i mean you play it for a bit and then get bored and never use it again..for example the DS or the Wii..both really novelty things with the touch screen and motion sensors..

imo i think that the sony playstation 2 will forever be the best system to play games on..the best game for it would have to be grand theft auto (all games) such a leap in gaming technology and im sure they are going to get so much better (can't wait for the new GTA V on Xbox360, its gunna own )

Well, I just read through this entire thread *boy, it's getting old*, and am surprised that no one has mention God of War I & II. I think they're ok, but I wouldn't rank them as favorites.
Also, a long time back, I said most anime games are average at best. I found one that is actually a lot of fun. On PS1, Gundam Battle Assault 2, a 2-D fighter game. It didn't introduce anything new to the world of 2-D fighters, but it made well on the concepts already in place at the time.

Current favorite game: Guild Wars.

that gets a bit dull after a while....
i quit it but i might join back up some time later....
i like sandbox games such as garry's mod and portals (its not out yet)

Yeah, I've been off and on Guild Wars since it's release. Farming can only provide so much entertainment.
Sandbox games...About the closest I get to that is Map Editors for various games. Lots of fun to tinker with. Of those, my favorite *and the one I'm best with* would be Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

i liked the elder scrolls 3 because i also got the construction set with my copy......
i made a coat with everything!!!

I agree that Fable is cool. But best game ever definitely goes to the original mario for nes. Best modern game? Tough to say, there is such variety. I may be shot for this, but I am personally a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series. Also Spiderman 2 just rocks for free roaming New York.

kingdom hearts had a very weird and wonderful storyline and was obviously written by a Japanese animator high on opium........
never played spider man 2
but 1 was a fairly ordinary game.

Yeah, one isn't that great, but two has an expansive map of New York. And you can free roam without following the plot, and after you beat it there are still tons of things to do. One of the most fun games I've played because of the free-roaming. Story line is not all that great.
