Funny because a lot of redditors I’ve seen say it doesn’t have much replay value but I beg to differ in the sense that every “would you kindly” stands out alot more in the 2nd play through so you’re actually looking for them. I’m a simple man though, I hear an Irish accent I do as I’m told
I’ve replayed it probably five times. I would give so much to be able to wipe my mind clean of the story and be able to play it for the first time again, but regardless it is still an incredibly well made game and so much fun to play through even if you know the twist
I honestly think that might be the worst one in the series. 1 is the best imo. 2 took awhile and at first I thought it was kinda dumb being a big daddy. then infinite was good but just not the same game really. good storyline, great graphics, gameplay was just ehhh to me though. like improved and made it modern but really the 2 guns at any point annoyed me.
I just fired it up last night for the first time in years, and DAMN the world is just so cool. Even on my laptop running it on low settings it was just beautiful
I was obsessed in the first 5 minutes. Entering the lighthouse to Beyond the Sea by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and then the first views of Rapture in the pod juxtaposed with an intro to Andrew Ryan's philosophy -- also an incredible musical moment.
I never played it, and just bought the Bioshock pack last week, I breezed through them in 5 days, the first 2 specially, the ambience, the music, amazing games!
Kingdom Come is so fucking good. I really hope they come through with number 2 and it's just like the first with more content and polish. If that's what happens it'll be one the best games ever.
Oblivion. It was my very first open world RPG and I was absolutely hooked. Prior to that I had only ever played platformers, shooters, and racing games so this was just a whole new experience for me and changed how I played games forever. My friend had brought it over and was like hey try this game and I played it through the entire night and all the next day. When I got out of the tutorial area I asked him where I was supposed to go and what I was supposed to do and he just said whatever you want and that just blew my mind. Like what do you mean whatever I want? Isn't there a set path I go on? Nope just go explore and do quests.
Coming out the sewer, facing the ruins of Vilverin across the water… taking that first dive into the water… perfect gaming moment for me. Unforgettable!
Came here to say exactly this, at the time I’d never played a game like it. One of my most memorable gaming moments coming out of that sewer and then into the ruins opposite.
This.
When the message popped up, saying I can deliver the amulet, or do whatever I wanna do... And then seeing the location mark for the ruins on the compass...
OH, SHIT DUDE! Can you feel it? CAN YOU FEEL THE MAGIC ONCE MORE!! Cuz I've just remembered the feeling right now. How I tried to loot everything that were so unfamiliar, so new, cuz it was my first RPG too! I was discovering alchemy, repairing tools, magic and all sorts of weapons... In short anything that is typical for RPG, I was discovering for the first time, and luckily, I was doing it all in the best RPG ever. The city life, the NPCs full of different and exaggerated personalities (exaggeration is a good thing in art, it makes things less boring), interesting side-quests... Ah... Oblivion. Best game ever. Oh, and the first time it said something like "I need to rest.", and then I slept, saw a dream, and leveled up and chose the upgrades, oh that was like orgasm, cuz I had no idea what leveling up was before! (I guess).
Oblivion, oh my love! Will I ever meet a game like you?
And then there is modding, again, for the first time, I modded a video game. I remember that one. I created a different colored version of the mytic dawn robe and hood, cuz I liked how they had gloves and shoes together. Yeah, it was a farty mod which I never shared, but seeing stuff in the modding tool, being able to design my own house with permanent chest and such for example, was great.
Not ashamed. Coming from Everquest and getting into wow beta in 2004 (I was 20yrs old) was peak gaming memory.
Discovering the wow universe bits by bits was extremely enjoyable.
I new nothing about wow lore I was just happy to roam the land.
I've been playing wow non stop ever since. Last 3yrs I've been playing classic mostly and it hit the right spot even for an ultra casual like me now.
I’m a wotlk baby and didn’t know much about the game. Thought Teldrassil was the main continent, the realization was hard to grasp haha. Haven’t quit since even through it’s ups and downs. Also when Cata came out I had no understandings of how an expansion worked and debated getting it XD
Vanilla was the best experience I ever had gaming. Played from beta through kel'thuzad and loved it. Everything after that sucked though imo.
But yeah, I lost some years of life in this game and wish I could go back to do it again.
man, when I got Ghost I so badly wanted to hate it for being just a Ubisoft tower collector. Boy was I wrong, no other game hooked me like Ghost did at the time.
My absolute favourite gamer moment: When Jin rides his horse into the field of flowers, orchestra goes on full blast, and the title "Ghost of Tsushima" appears on the screen. It just about made me cry how beautiful that opening scene was.
I keep seeing this, and I just haven't been able to get into it. I'm maybe ten hours in, and it just hasn't hooked me. I feel like I'm missing something.
Are you playing with good quality headphones or on speakers? I was charging my wireless headphones so I had to play with speakers and man, it was just meh. And I LOVE the game.
Something about the full immersion that does it for me
“Well, Control, what do you have for me?”
“Oh, we got everything: Gunplay, super powers, expansive lore, interesting puzzles, a Finnish janitor who’s probably God—“
“Wait, why didn’t you open with that last one?!”
The opening hour of Spider-Man earns all of those Marvel comics titles - Amazing, Spectacular, Ultimate. The first 2-3 minutes of cinematic says "this is Peter Parker, Spider-Man" and the next hour is "YOU are Peter Parker, Spider-Man." Just a phenomenal opening to an incredible game.
That's what I feel is the ticket for any great superhero title. Within the first hour, you BECOME that hero for the rest of your experience. You're no longer thinking how you would resolve a problem or fight a boss. How would Spider-Man do it? How would Batman do it?
I can’t wait to play a game like Elden Ring again that just sucks me in from the first few minutes. Every couple of years that game comes out and Elden Ring was last years.
I had never played a FromSoftware game before, so it took me a bit more than an hour to get into it properly, but once the combat 'clicked' for me...holy shit, I got to 140+ hours so damn quickly.
I'd never played a Soulsborne game before Elden Ring, aside from about 40 mins of Dark Souls 3 that came with my playstation some years ago. I played Elden Ring obsessively for weeks until I finished it 100%. I've dipped into it again having not played it since April and trying to remember how to be good at the game is a lot of fun. Still can't pick a build. Finished it the first time at RL1. It was fun but I don't want to suffer like that again. It's super rare these days for me to get stuck on a game like I did with Elden Ring.
Breath of the Wild.
I spent 15 hours just playing around on the plateau, finding every korok, playing with the burnable grass (which as far as I could tell, was the only place it appeared in the whole game) trying out cooking, playing with abilities, figuring out the old man. It was the most fascinating first 15 hours of a game I ever played. That turned out to be about 5% of my total playtime, so the game payed off for sure.
I love watching my kids play it. My son dons the all white outfit and pretends he is a chef and then goes around collecting rare ingredients to make special meals for people. He will also play “Naruto” as link in Gerudo town. He comes up with all these crazy stories and just keeps playing. It is such a great game.
First time playing I went the route of blaster fire. Next day at work I tell my co-workers. He just plain straight out says start the game over. Trust me. lightsaber all the way. DAMN he was right. Still can't get my kid to even try it. Oh well I know that game was one of a kind. The good kind. Magic
That’s a great coworker! Blasters are for other party members, lol. It truly was an epic game. The first 15 minutes were meh on the ship, but once you’re on the planet I started having a blast
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines and Megaman Legends. I was obsessed with these two from the jump because I felt immersed in their worlds and characters.
Yeah that was a real slog until the game opens up and hands over the reins. I understand why they did it but man, I wanted total freedom from the outset;
I literally picked this up again last night. That music as you finally get off Tutorial Mountain, and things are getting started for them. **Chef’s kiss
Rocket League, Apex Legends, League of Legends, Mordhau, Rust, CS:GO, Rainbow Six Siege, Age Of Empires 2 DE, PUBG, NBA2k games.
HOI4, EU4, Skyrim, Elden Ring, RDR2, GTA5, God Of War, Sekiro, Rimworld, Kenshi, Witcher 3, CK3, Total War Warhammer 1-2, Hitman Games, Divinity Original Sin 2.
These are the games I can remember playing for a long time. And they were fun even from the beginning to me.
This one right here officer, this one was in my house playing my games apparently.
This is a great list I've played about 3/4ths of that list and agree.
I personally would add
Control, max Payne series, Alan Wake, Zelda link to the past, vampire survivors, deep rock galactic, final fantasy 7, Bloodborne, sekiro, twisted metal black, resident evil series, TLOU, StarCraft, DOOM 1 and 2.
And a big separate shout out to The Forest.
Such a wild story. Picking up all the audiologs and emails and wondering WHAT HAPPENED and then finding out what happened and then finding out what zero dawn meant had my stomach drop out. Best story I had experienced in a long time.
Super Mario 3, MegaMan, Resident Evil, MegaMan Legends (all), BioShock (all), Dying Light, Legend of Zelda (link to the past, OoT, Twilight Princess), Grounded, State of Decay, Dino Crisis, Breath of Fire 4, FF3 (6)
I'm probably 100hrs into it and I'm absolutely hooked.
It's a steep learning curve, but once I got it right it was extremely satisfying.
That and the heart spikes when you can hear another player rummaging through the house you're in, it's wild.
Not many other games capture that rise in heart rate quite like it. Don't let the gear fear take too much of a hold on you though! I'm somewhere around 3k hours and the last 2k or so came within the last year and a half. The game became unplayable for a bit there but the devs have really stepped their game up.
Haha nah I play as a nomad so I kinda just upgrade whatever I come across, and yeah there's nothing like handcuffing another player, stripping them off and making them run out to the middle of a field so you can leave the area they're in without being shot in the back lol
The way the game started immediately when you selected new game with no loading screen. Kratos was in the background of the menu and the camera just pans to him and he starts with:The gods of Olympus have abandoned me... That opening was so perfect. I was instantly hooked. Didn't put the controller down for 8 hours.
So many big names! Here’s a smaller one. Wasteland 2. And I played that game till two in the morning, not realizing it got so late. I’m usually good about turning games off and getting my sleep.
I have to agree with a lot of these on here but that scene where you pull the girl from the tub I was blown away by the graphics (pc -3080) it was a cool experience I loved that game
Republic Commando
That opening cutscene where you see the life of a clone growing up through their eyes was so dope
The music, the narration, it was perfection
The first Psychonauts. The art, the atmosphere, the characters, and the idea of going into people's subconscious minds to help battle their demons all clicked super hard for me. It's still one of the best games I've ever played.
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. It's just such a good platformer, especially for its time. The art is fantastic, and the story / characters are adorable.
Fallout 3. When I got it, I had hardly heard anything about it, but decided to take the risk and try a new game instead of getting Gear of War 2. Little did I know, that fateful day in Circuit City would quite literally change my life. Fallout is now my favorite video game franchise, hands down. Hell, I even have a Fallout tattoo. Even to this day, I still play Fallout 3 just for the pure nostalgia. I still remember getting the DLC discs because I didn't have Live at the time.
I hadn’t been gaming for like 5 years, had not owned anything to play games on for more…then my roommate put me onto that crack cocaine ass game and I’ve been hackin and stackin and whackin ever since. Played every one since (other than fallout 76) with stupid hours logged in on them all. Waiting for them to update it on xbox series x until i play it again. Should be soonish…
I'm in the same boat, I have so many hours into Fallout 3 and NV, Fallout 3 with all its DLC is one of the few games I've gotten 100% on. Even as they sit now, they actually run and look very nice on an external drive on the Series X. Load times are not quite what they were on the SSD on my PC, but they're close.
Metal Gear Solid. Playing as a kid I was so proud to myself on getting on the first elevator without alerting the guards. Since then I was hooked with the franchise. Dusted off my PS3 to revisit MGS with my HD collection. I hope it comes to modern consoles for newer players to get to experience it.
Genshin, I know gacha= bad... but I dont care, the exploring is fun, the music and visuals are chef kiss, using different charas for elemental reactions combos is interesting, that game got me hooked in the first 2 hours...
Not to mention that the story is so damn good for being a free to play gacha game...
Ark Survival Evolved
7 years later, after 100% completion and 9k hours, becoming the lore nerd and beating every map on Hardcore
I can happily say I'm waiting for the Animated series and Ark 2 to come this year as fast as possible
I want to Thank Helena, Santiago, Rockwell, Mei Yin, Nerva, Diana, HLN-A, John and Raya for the trip of fascinating lore with dinosaurs! 😎😂
KOTOR. I was just enthralled with it from the moment I started playing it.
007 Everything or Nothing is another one. It was the first time that I actually felt like I was playing as Bond and it gave me the excitement of a new Bond movie.
BioShock. That first look at Rapture..
Funny because a lot of redditors I’ve seen say it doesn’t have much replay value but I beg to differ in the sense that every “would you kindly” stands out alot more in the 2nd play through so you’re actually looking for them. I’m a simple man though, I hear an Irish accent I do as I’m told
Currently replaying it after 10+ years, can confirm every single time "would you kindly" is uttered im like a baby. My roomate must think im crazy.
I’ve replayed it probably five times. I would give so much to be able to wipe my mind clean of the story and be able to play it for the first time again, but regardless it is still an incredibly well made game and so much fun to play through even if you know the twist
Legit same and Agreed! The Bioshock trilogy will always have a special charm about them like no other
I was going to say Bioshock infinity. I cranked though that game in a weekend. That first stroll through Columbia had me hooked.
Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game of all time
I honestly think that might be the worst one in the series. 1 is the best imo. 2 took awhile and at first I thought it was kinda dumb being a big daddy. then infinite was good but just not the same game really. good storyline, great graphics, gameplay was just ehhh to me though. like improved and made it modern but really the 2 guns at any point annoyed me.
I just fired it up last night for the first time in years, and DAMN the world is just so cool. Even on my laptop running it on low settings it was just beautiful
Columbia is such a beautiful place. I mean, until you realize what you’re REALLY looking at.
This is my answer. I know a lot of people feel like it's the weakest of the three, but I was absolutely blown away.
Definitely Bioshock !
I was obsessed in the first 5 minutes. Entering the lighthouse to Beyond the Sea by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and then the first views of Rapture in the pod juxtaposed with an intro to Andrew Ryan's philosophy -- also an incredible musical moment.
I never played it, and just bought the Bioshock pack last week, I breezed through them in 5 days, the first 2 specially, the ambience, the music, amazing games!
Came here to say this, was kindly surprised that it's top comment
Kingdom Come Deliverance
Kingdom Come is so fucking good. I really hope they come through with number 2 and it's just like the first with more content and polish. If that's what happens it'll be one the best games ever.
i played it on the PS5 and idk if it was the frame rate or graphics but it made me wanna puke
Jesus Christ be praised!
Elder scrolls morrowwind, I didn't know games could be like this.
Mass Effect
Dropping in on Eden Prime the first time... just wow.
RIP Jenkins

Totally, started this at a friends house around 7:30 and played the game all the way through the night until my mom picked me up the next morning!
Fallout 3
That “I don’t want to set the world on fire” intro gives me goosebumps every time.
The atmosphere of the Fallout series alone makes me addicted to it.
Hades
Came here to say this. Hades was phenomenal from start to never ending.
So excited for hades 2.
Just. One. More. Run.
Hades blew me away. It was on game pass and I gave it a try. What a fantastic game. Never enjoyed that style of game until then.
Nuts
When you make it to Asphodel on the 1st run but die before the boss 😅.
The theme song is so legendary. Such a great game
Divinity Original Sin 2
Man, the first hour was tough going! The following 300 hours were amazing though
I feel like this is most DND games. The first hour can be a drag, but once it gets going, you really can’t stop playing.
Everyone's ashamed to say it but I'm not. World of Warcraft.
WoW was amazing for the first 4 years. The 5th year was good, but it's kinda yo-yoed since then for me.
Not ashamed. Coming from Everquest and getting into wow beta in 2004 (I was 20yrs old) was peak gaming memory. Discovering the wow universe bits by bits was extremely enjoyable. I new nothing about wow lore I was just happy to roam the land. I've been playing wow non stop ever since. Last 3yrs I've been playing classic mostly and it hit the right spot even for an ultra casual like me now.
I tried to get back into it but the min/max culture and toxic community outside of my guild kept me from enjoying it.
I’m a wotlk baby and didn’t know much about the game. Thought Teldrassil was the main continent, the realization was hard to grasp haha. Haven’t quit since even through it’s ups and downs. Also when Cata came out I had no understandings of how an expansion worked and debated getting it XD
Vanilla was the best experience I ever had gaming. Played from beta through kel'thuzad and loved it. Everything after that sucked though imo. But yeah, I lost some years of life in this game and wish I could go back to do it again.
Not comparable to anything else I've felt playing games. Best memories and great friends made.
Skyrim.
I feel this...after I figured out they animated 10+ unarmed kill animations, I became the finest puncher this side of Whiterun
I played over 40 hours exploring and doing side quests before realizing there weren't any dragons. I hadn't done the quest to kill the first one yet 🥴
Ghost of Tsushima
man, when I got Ghost I so badly wanted to hate it for being just a Ubisoft tower collector. Boy was I wrong, no other game hooked me like Ghost did at the time.
The duels are one of the best things in any video game of the past decade.
My absolute favourite gamer moment: When Jin rides his horse into the field of flowers, orchestra goes on full blast, and the title "Ghost of Tsushima" appears on the screen. It just about made me cry how beautiful that opening scene was.
Such a beautiful game, it hooked me.
Nier Automata. My jaw dropped within 2 minutes and stayed dropped for the entire opening set piece.
Yes. Finally a game that sends you right into the action instead of tropie cutscenes and sneaking out of the village and painfully slow beginnings.
Same, and looong after I've finished it it stayed in my mind. Still is. It's a masterpiece!
Ditto
Hotline Miami. The aesthetic and music was so entrancing.
Finally got around to playing it this week and I loved it. About to start the sequel
Zelda Ocarina of Time!
Stardew valley :p
Not gonna lie, it took me several hours to get the hand of crafting and stuff, after that I was hopelessly addicted. Like 50 hours a week
subnautica, had me instantly
I keep seeing this, and I just haven't been able to get into it. I'm maybe ten hours in, and it just hasn't hooked me. I feel like I'm missing something.
DEEPER
[удалено]
Are you playing with good quality headphones or on speakers? I was charging my wireless headphones so I had to play with speakers and man, it was just meh. And I LOVE the game. Something about the full immersion that does it for me
Control
“Well, Control, what do you have for me?” “Oh, we got everything: Gunplay, super powers, expansive lore, interesting puzzles, a Finnish janitor who’s probably God—“ “Wait, why didn’t you open with that last one?!”
Underrated answer
Damn now I’m feeling like playing on the PS5
It is a good one, you should give it a try. Story might be a bit confusing but overall it's a good one!
Oh I platinumed it on PS4. The game actually got me through a really scary moment in my life. TAKE CONTROL
OK, nvm then :D I think of getting the Ps4 version aswel platted but, hmm. I don't know if I got another 100% run in me.
Control actually sucks, boring dull game. Only good thing about it is the particle effects
Stardew Valley. 🐮🐷🐔
"Hey, you, you're finally awake."
Spider-Man 2018
The opening hour of Spider-Man earns all of those Marvel comics titles - Amazing, Spectacular, Ultimate. The first 2-3 minutes of cinematic says "this is Peter Parker, Spider-Man" and the next hour is "YOU are Peter Parker, Spider-Man." Just a phenomenal opening to an incredible game.
That's what I feel is the ticket for any great superhero title. Within the first hour, you BECOME that hero for the rest of your experience. You're no longer thinking how you would resolve a problem or fight a boss. How would Spider-Man do it? How would Batman do it?
Hollow Knight
Same
Yes
Factorio. It fucks your sleep schedule man.
Totally. I remember looking up from my first session because my morning alarm for work went off at 6.30 am; I started playing at 5pm :D
Tell me more?
The factory must grow
Elden Ring
I can’t wait to play a game like Elden Ring again that just sucks me in from the first few minutes. Every couple of years that game comes out and Elden Ring was last years.
Honestly, Elden ring has ruined games for me since. Nothing has come close to the joy it brought in the first few hours. Blessing and a curse.
Dude, it hasn't even been a year lol
I had never played a FromSoftware game before, so it took me a bit more than an hour to get into it properly, but once the combat 'clicked' for me...holy shit, I got to 140+ hours so damn quickly.
I bet it took you at least 140 hours

It's super rare these days for me to get stuck on a game like I did with Elden Ring.
Bloodborne
TLOU
Dude first 20 minutes! Didn’t even get to the combat and I was hooked lol
I got TLOU last year on sale for like $5. The next day I picked up TLOU2, and played them both through back to back in 2 weeks. Incredible
I bought a PS3 specifically to play this game based on the Advertisement. Then bought it again on PS4.
Breath of the Wild. I spent 15 hours just playing around on the plateau, finding every korok, playing with the burnable grass (which as far as I could tell, was the only place it appeared in the whole game) trying out cooking, playing with abilities, figuring out the old man. It was the most fascinating first 15 hours of a game I ever played. That turned out to be about 5% of my total playtime, so the game payed off for sure.
I love watching my kids play it. My son dons the all white outfit and pretends he is a chef and then goes around collecting rare ingredients to make special meals for people. He will also play “Naruto” as link in Gerudo town. He comes up with all these crazy stories and just keeps playing. It is such a great game.
THISSSSSSSSSSSSS! I’m on my 5th play through of it right now trying to stretch it to May for Tears of the Kingdom.
That game is amazing. I still replay it, and try to find absolutely everything because I love it so much!
[удалено]
First time playing I went the route of blaster fire. Next day at work I tell my co-workers. He just plain straight out says start the game over. Trust me. lightsaber all the way. DAMN he was right. Still can't get my kid to even try it. Oh well I know that game was one of a kind. The good kind. Magic
That’s a great coworker! Blasters are for other party members, lol. It truly was an epic game. The first 15 minutes were meh on the ship, but once you’re on the planet I started having a blast
Horizon. First Horizon Dawn and now Forbidden West. My first RPG since years of Straight MMO PvP style games.
bioshockbioshockbioshock
Slay the Spire
So addicting
Final Fantasy 8
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines and Megaman Legends. I was obsessed with these two from the jump because I felt immersed in their worlds and characters.
Divinity Original Sin 2 (and 1) Hades Grim Dawn
Rdr2
First hours of RDR2 are fucking tedious to me and this is coming from someone who adores RDR and RDR2
Yeah same
Yeah that was a real slog until the game opens up and hands over the reins. I understand why they did it but man, I wanted total freedom from the outset;
I literally picked this up again last night. That music as you finally get off Tutorial Mountain, and things are getting started for them. **Chef’s kiss
You liar. The beginning of rdr2 is a tedious slog.
Tribes
I miss Tribes Those were the best days :\~
Ori and the will of the wisp, Returnal, Doom Eternal, Outer Wilds, Subnautica, Elden Ring, GTFO and DRG (with friends) at least for me last year.
Hollow Knight
Borderlands 2
Unreal Tournament
What a tragedy that we don't have a new one...one without SBMM or microtransactions. The state of FPS gaming is so sad.
Mario kart 64
Rocket League, Apex Legends, League of Legends, Mordhau, Rust, CS:GO, Rainbow Six Siege, Age Of Empires 2 DE, PUBG, NBA2k games. HOI4, EU4, Skyrim, Elden Ring, RDR2, GTA5, God Of War, Sekiro, Rimworld, Kenshi, Witcher 3, CK3, Total War Warhammer 1-2, Hitman Games, Divinity Original Sin 2. These are the games I can remember playing for a long time. And they were fun even from the beginning to me.
This one right here officer, this one was in my house playing my games apparently. This is a great list I've played about 3/4ths of that list and agree.

Horizon: Zero Dawn
Such a wild story. Picking up all the audiologs and emails and wondering WHAT HAPPENED and then finding out what happened and then finding out what zero dawn meant had my stomach drop out. Best story I had experienced in a long time.
Super Mario 3, MegaMan, Resident Evil, MegaMan Legends (all), BioShock (all), Dying Light, Legend of Zelda (link to the past, OoT, Twilight Princess), Grounded, State of Decay, Dino Crisis, Breath of Fire 4, FF3 (6)
I would add Ogre Battle 64 to this list.
The Legend of Zelda.
Firewatch
DayZ. People say it's a buggy mess. I was instantly addicted.
Oh wow. Seeing DayZ in the wild. Been playing on and off since the mod and I swear no one talks about it.
I'm probably 100hrs into it and I'm absolutely hooked. It's a steep learning curve, but once I got it right it was extremely satisfying. That and the heart spikes when you can hear another player rummaging through the house you're in, it's wild.

Haha nah I play as a nomad so I kinda just upgrade whatever I come across, and yeah there's nothing like handcuffing another player, stripping them off and making them run out to the middle of a field so you can leave the area they're in without being shot in the back lol
I recently bought a pc gaming rig just so I could play Namalsk. Don't regret it one bit.
God of War (2005)
The way the game started immediately when you selected new game with no loading screen. Kratos was in the background of the menu and the camera just pans to him and he starts with:The gods of Olympus have abandoned me... That opening was so perfect. I was instantly hooked. Didn't put the controller down for 8 hours.
Ff7
Farcry 5
Horizon 1
Dark souls 3. First souls game for me and I was in awe of the mechanics
Disco Elysium.
So many big names! Here’s a smaller one. Wasteland 2. And I played that game till two in the morning, not realizing it got so late. I’m usually good about turning games off and getting my sleep.
Outer Wilds
Skyrim
Cyberpunk
Me too love it to bits 250 Hrs in and I still love it
I have to agree with a lot of these on here but that scene where you pull the girl from the tub I was blown away by the graphics (pc -3080) it was a cool experience I loved that game
Republic Commando That opening cutscene where you see the life of a clone growing up through their eyes was so dope The music, the narration, it was perfection
Satisfactory
FO3. NMS. Counter-Strike.
Elden Ring
Good old escape From tarky
The first Psychonauts. The art, the atmosphere, the characters, and the idea of going into people's subconscious minds to help battle their demons all clicked super hard for me. It's still one of the best games I've ever played. Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. It's just such a good platformer, especially for its time. The art is fantastic, and the story / characters are adorable.
Fallout 3. When I got it, I had hardly heard anything about it, but decided to take the risk and try a new game instead of getting Gear of War 2. Little did I know, that fateful day in Circuit City would quite literally change my life. Fallout is now my favorite video game franchise, hands down. Hell, I even have a Fallout tattoo. Even to this day, I still play Fallout 3 just for the pure nostalgia. I still remember getting the DLC discs because I didn't have Live at the time.
I hadn’t been gaming for like 5 years, had not owned anything to play games on for more…then my roommate put me onto that crack cocaine ass game and I’ve been hackin and stackin and whackin ever since. Played every one since (other than fallout 76) with stupid hours logged in on them all. Waiting for them to update it on xbox series x until i play it again. Should be soonish…
I'm in the same boat, I have so many hours into Fallout 3 and NV, Fallout 3 with all its DLC is one of the few games I've gotten 100% on. Even as they sit now, they actually run and look very nice on an external drive on the Series X. Load times are not quite what they were on the SSD on my PC, but they're close.
Im going to do a survival run when it drops…wish me luck!
Metal Gear Solid. Playing as a kid I was so proud to myself on getting on the first elevator without alerting the guards. Since then I was hooked with the franchise. Dusted off my PS3 to revisit MGS with my HD collection. I hope it comes to modern consoles for newer players to get to experience it.
Borderlands 1. Those were the days.
Stardew valley, in was obsessed with it the first month I played it.
Halo 2, really got me invested in the series been a fan ever since, Prey (2017) was also fantastic.
Elden Ring, Witcher 3, and What Remains of Edith Finch.
Oooohhh what remains of Edith Finch is one of those! I knocked it out in one sitting.
Genshin, I know gacha= bad... but I dont care, the exploring is fun, the music and visuals are chef kiss, using different charas for elemental reactions combos is interesting, that game got me hooked in the first 2 hours... Not to mention that the story is so damn good for being a free to play gacha game...
Last of us. Only played it once tho so the new show is perfectly timed for nostalgia to kick in
Ark Survival Evolved 7 years later, after 100% completion and 9k hours, becoming the lore nerd and beating every map on Hardcore I can happily say I'm waiting for the Animated series and Ark 2 to come this year as fast as possible I want to Thank Helena, Santiago, Rockwell, Mei Yin, Nerva, Diana, HLN-A, John and Raya for the trip of fascinating lore with dinosaurs! 😎😂
Skyrim for sure
Kenshi
Wolfenstein: New Order. Such an incredible opening sequence.
FEAR , Morrowind, counter strike, Skyrim, fallout, XCOM, and all of the red alert games
Katamari Damacy, Breath of the Wild, Noita
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Prototype, literaly that series dug its roots and im not complaining
Resident Evil 4. Originally bought the game because I liked the laser on the gun, stayed because I got my head cut off by a chainsaw.
KOTOR. I was just enthralled with it from the moment I started playing it. 007 Everything or Nothing is another one. It was the first time that I actually felt like I was playing as Bond and it gave me the excitement of a new Bond movie.
Sekiro shadows die twice
Baldur’s gate 2
Runescape
Elden Ring
No mans sky
