What are your top 10 favourite games ever?

[Rykjeklut]

In no particular order

 

Witcher 3

RDR1

RDR2

Fallout New Vegas

Fallout 3

Rome Total War

Medieval Total War

 

10 games is much harder than I thought.

The rest of them just flow together.

[Femme Fatale]

10. Army Men Sarge's Heroes 1 & 2

Buggy and hard as hell, but still entertaining.

9. Resident Evil Outbreak 1 & 2

So underrated.

8. Donkey Kong Country 2

Epic soundtrack.

7. Manhunt

Good ol' over the top gore.

6. Bully

Rockstar's cute self parody of GTA.

5. Pokemon Gold

Spent countless hours and batteries on my Game Boy because of this game.

4. GTA San Andreas

Officially introduced me to GTA, it will always have a special place in my heart.

3. Paper Mario

I love the concept, the soundtrack, the replay value, everyf*ckingthing.

2. GTA IV + EFLC

The real masterpiece, f*ck V + Online, and blah, blah, blah; no reason to repeat the same damn thing after five years.

1. Goldeneye

The Godfather of first person shooting, multiplayer fun before Halo and CoD got their filthy hands on the concept. GTA IV + EFLC know that I love them, but I'm sure they'll understand that Goldeneye will always be my number one.

[luisniko]

Can only name a few

- Chess

- Snakes & Ladders

- Monopoly

- Othello

 

[zeko]

I changed my list probably?

 

1. Silent hill

2. Call of duty 2

3. Counter Strike 1.6

4. Call of duty 1

5. Battlefield 2

6. Bully

7. GTA vice city

8. GTA san andreas

9. Day of infamy

10. Call of duty 3

 

 

Worst, literally worst:

 

 

1. Call of duty infinte warfare

2. Roblox

3. Minecraft

4. Call of duty black ops 3

5. Call of duty advanced warfare

It's been about three years since I made a post so time for an update.

 

1) GTA IV. Well obviously my #1 hasn't changed and I doubt it ever will. 

 

2) Vice City.

 

3) Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange: Before The Storm.

 

4) TellTale's: The Walking Dead series.

 

5) Until Dawn.

 

6) Batman: Arkham Asylum.

 

7) Mafia II.

 

8 ) Heavy Rain.

 

9) Beyond: Two Souls.

 

10) The Warriors.

 

Honourable mentions.

 

-The Forza Horizon series.

-Red Dead Redemption.

-Max Payne 3.

 

 

 

 

Time for a revised list..

 

Mostly unchanged except I would place Red Dead Redemption 2 in second place and Vice City back down to third. LA Noire should be on this list too, but it looks like I didn't fit it in. Amazing game.

 

I also seem to have forgotten to mention Detroit: Become Human in my honourable mentions list as well as Spiderman (2018) and God Of War (2018) since I made this before I played them.

[trip]

I still maintain that these types of lists are impossible.  Games have been around for so long now it's easy to forget a game you loved until someone/something jogs your memory.  

 

I think I can get as far as:

Donkey Kong(arcade)

Vice City

 

After those two games my list would be totally inconsistent from day to day.  Plus there is a good chance there would be 9 other arcade games listed before Vice City...depending on the day.

 

I owe my life and livelihood to Space Invaders.  Should it be on my list?   

 

All these toy with my mind.

 

 

I'd like to say "I hope you all have as rich and long a gaming life as I have".  But I'm not sure that is really a positive thing.

Bonus mentions:

GTA San Andreas. Along with lll and Vice City were the games I played the most.
Vigilante 8. The first one as well. Combat car game that IMO was ahead of its time. The arcade remake thingy that was created didn't do it justice.

Big Mutha Truckers. Racing trucker game hauling goods. The world is almost kind of GTA but with trucks. Another game I think was ahead of its time with First Person View way before GTA V did.

Top 10s are hard man and mine change every week. I'm just listing games that have been in my top 10 often and the best of each franchise, only the #1 is set in stone;

1. Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn

Knights of the Old Republic II

Carmageddon 2

Monkey Island 4

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2

Witcher 3

L.A. Noire

Knights and Merchants

Silent Storm Sentinels

Sanitarium

SW Battlefront II (the original).

[Mister Pink]

I'll reshift mine: 

 

1. San Andreas

2. Red Dead Redemption 2

3. Vice City

4. Fallout 4

5. Skyrim

6. IV

7. The Warriors

8. Forza: Horizon 2

9. Deux Ex: Mankind Divided

10. Sonic The Hedgehog 

 

Also, some games where I was undecided between 2 (like Fallout 3 or 4), I just put in the game I put more hours in. 

 

Nearly in the list is Ghost Recon: Wildlands (not the greatest game but I put a good amount of hours into it), some FIFA or PES, Fallout 3, Mario: 6 Golden Coins, GTA III. I feel like Max Payne 1, 2, 3 should get some sort of honourable mention too as well as the original RDR (2010)

There's no order for me, but I'd say the following:

 

GTA 3
GTA VC
GTA SA
GTA IV
GTA V
Red Dead Redemption

Forza Motorsport 6 (though the previous titles have all mostly been good)

Forza Horizon 3

Quake 2

Quantum Break (the gameplay wasn't the best ever but it's a good example of doing a comprehensive story within an action video game right)

 

I would probably also add Mafia 1 to this list as well as other games that I can't remember right now. Edit: Perhaps some of the older Hitman games, like Hitman 2.

Updated list for 2019:

 

Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption 2

GTA 3

GTA VC

GTA SA

GTA IV
GTA V

Forza Motorsport 6/7 (7 is like an improved 6 but they're kinda similar)

Forza Horizon 4

Mafia 1

Interesting. No V in your list. I think the story in IV is better in some sense but the writing doesn't quite hold up. GTA V is somewhat better in that regard (obviously RDR2 is even better) but even the game world itself feels more alive than IV. That's one aspect that I really love in GTA games: the immersion of the world itself.

 

Also, how come you prefer FH2? I found it a bit too basic and repetitive compared to the newer games. I'm kinda grinding through the races for 100% right now. Thank god they're short.

Yeah, you know V should be there. I actually just forgot about it. Story wasn't great for me. Character switching mechanic was a bit gimmicky for my tastes and microtranstions and the grind-fest killed my love for something that I think is great concept in many ways. I did get good few hours, singleplayer + multiplayer, so I'm happy. GTA V is better than huge amount of games. I'm just harsh on it because there are some aspects where I know Rockstar could do better.  I agree, the immersion of the world itself really counts and GTA V's city is one of the best cities in GTA in terms of never getting stuck in dead ends and general flow and manoeuvrability around the city is great. Wasn't a fan of the shape of the map and it feels a bit islandy (no major towns up the north end) but overall it's a good game. Still waiting on a GTA that really speaks to me and my tastes like RDR2 does in many ways. IV would if it had the scope of features San Andreas or V had. I love the dark, gritty feel but felt let down by lack of features. 

 

If GTA V and GTA IV had a baby.. grittiness and more mature tone of IV with the features of V or San Andreas then we'd have a winner, in my book. 

 

I don't have Forza: Horizon 3. I haven't played it. I've only played H4. H4 is great but I cancelled my Game Pass sub because Horizon is one of the few games I like to play online. I'm good at Horizon 2 online. I win a lot. I like the simplicity of it. I love the points system. I try drive clean with no assists (except I only have damage set to 'cosmetic') and I like winning on points even if I don't come first every time. When they patch Horizon 4 this month and have less team stuff and hopefully less stupid cross country madness, I'll come back to it. 

 

Your post from September reminded me that Hitman: Blood Money should definitely be on my list. Probably instead of Sonic. That was the first Hitman game I ever got. Blew my mind. 

 

 

Edited January 6, 2019 by Mister Pinkerton

[DEALUX]

Yeah, playing V after RDR 2 is really odd. Everything is so dated. Oh, your character fell and touched its head against something? Instant death. RDR 2 is more lenient in that regard (probably because your horse would kill you every 5 minutes with V's physics).

 

I'd have Hitman 2 (the original) in my list perhaps but it was a bit flawed and buggy. The games kinda lost their charm after Blood Money.

True that! Yeah, that was a worry for any Rockstar game that comes out. It always really ages the previous game by comparison.    

Didn't get to play Hitman 2 much. Might see if I can pick up that HD Collection. 

[jpm1]

my list has changed recently. actually it's still exactly the same, except that in 1 & 2 i add Mafia III in 1, and very close behind Elite dangerous. i still think the town of light is still one of the most amazing artistic creation of all times, all supports combined. Mafia III is amazing on all levels. cinematics, city details, storyline, graphics. Elite dangerous is a momument in term of coding. 1984 Eilte was already a masterpiece, and actually the father of all space sims. sadly i never played it. this is why it took me so long to jump into ED. 80% of Star citizen promises are already implemented in ED. and this is what is really mindblowing with that game. they didn't make any noise, and they made something monumental. in ED you can roam billions of systems, and there's no 2 similar systems. since the 2nd update they included the planet landing, which is amazingly realistic, beautiful, and well made

 

 

 

you can't see it on the pic but i actually started from a city on that image


 

one of the thousands, maybe millions of panoramas you can come across in ED

[Is this The Guy?]

Resident Evil 2 remake is making it up my list

 

[Timcatgt5]

1. GTA San Andreas - best all round game

 

2. Gran Turismo 3 - best racing simulator

 

3. GTA IV - graphics, story, mods and driving physics

 

4. Metal Gear Solid 3 - story and graphics

 

5. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 - best sports game

 

6. Madden NFL 2004 - one of 2 games that got me into American football

 

7. Driver: Parallel Lines - underrated game

 

8. GTA V - properly optimised for PC, mods and graphics (one of 2 games after 2012 that is good enough to make the list)

 

9. NCAA Football 2004 - same as 6

 

10. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - graphics, gameplay, open world and good optimisation

[The_B1u3_Jay]

1) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - This was the first GTA i've ever played and beat. I loved the RPG mechanics, the characters were really entertaining, and the game was packed with constant fun things to do.

 

2) Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakining (Special Edition) - I don't really care much for the hack and slash genre, except for this one series. The game was hard as hell when i first played it, as i couldn't even beat the second mission. But after multiple failed attempts, i finally beat it. I love this game for its amazing combat, entertaining story, and hard difficulty.

 

3) Resident Evil 4 - this was my first RE game, and i first played this on the Nintendo Wii. It's extremely addictive, and has countless hours or replaying value. Don't get me started on the Mercinaries mode. Another reason i love this game is because of its beta game, which created the DMC series.

 

4) Dead Rising - I also played this on the Nintendo wii first. It was one of the first games i bought for my first Xbox 360 i got in 2011 for Christmas. while the survivor A.I. is awful, the game itself is fun. It had tons of Psychopaths, a huge shopping mall full of zombies and weapons to break over their heads. You could also save you "art" by taking pictures.

 

5) Red Dead Redemption: Game Of The Year Edition - i was looking for a new game to play, i went to Wal*Mart on black friday and i had about 50 dollars. I saw RDR on sale for about 20 dollars, and i saw the R* games logo on it. I wasn't expecting anything special, but it ended up bacoming on ofmy favorite vidde games of all time.

 

I can only list 5 as of right now.

[Bratva Assassin]

Time for a revision:

1. GTA IV/EFLC

2. RDR2

3. GTA VC

4. GTA III

5. RDR

6. Call of Duty: WWII

7. Call of Duty: WAW

8. Mafia II

9. Mafia I

10. Battlefield I

 

Honorable mentions:

All of the Assassin’s Creed and Big Buck Hunter arcade games

 

As you can tell, I’m mostly a history and organized crime type of gamer!

[Arrows to Athens]

In no particular order:

 

1. GTA IV

2. MW2

3. MW3

4. GTA V

5. Resistance 2

6. Outlast & Outlast 2

7. Burnout Paradise

8. GTA: San Andreas

9. Black Ops 2 (mainly for the zombies)

10. Mafia 2

[El Penguin Bobo]

1. The entire Grand Theft Auto franchise, (except Online, f*ck that sh*t)

 

2. The Max Payne Series.

 

3. Just Cause 3.

 

4. Just Cause 2.

 

5. Dead Rising 1 and 2: Haven't played 3 yet and I heard 4 is a disappointment...

 

6. Mafia 2: Played 1, but didn't finish it as it was really difficult. Heard 3 was sh*t so probably not going to play it anytime soon.

 

7. Manhunt 1: Never played Manhunt 2.

 

8. Call Of Duty 1, 2, and the Black Ops Trilogy.

 

9. Mercenaries 2: You guys probably won't remember this game, but I played it on my Xbox 360 and it was great. Underrated masterpiece imo.

 

10. Lego Franchise.

[Laker23]

The Witcher 3.

The Uncharted series - won't list them all as it would take up half the list. I'll just say Uncharted 2 was the pinnacle of the series.

The Last of Us.

The GTA series - same for Uncharted, won't list them all. Vice City being the GOAT here, for me.

Goldeneye

Horizon Zero Dawn

Gran Turismo 3 and 4 - difficult to pick the best one.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Mario Kart

Tomb Raider 2

 

- Honorable mention to Nintendo in general, I don't play the games now but the 64 easily gave me my best childhood memories for gaming.

 

- These lists are practically impossible, honestly. I'm 99% sure there's multiple games I'm not remembering, and narrowing them all down to a top 10 is ridiculously hard. The only thing I can say with certainty is both TW3 and Uncharted 2 share the top spot, the rest are in a completely random order.
