Favorite Video Game (in Off-topic)

whats your favorite favorite game?mines Zelda

Starcraft: Brood Wars is my favourite, though I don't play it no more. :P

Carnage Blender is also another favourite :)

Carnage Blender :)

It's a two way tie for me. Either Final Fantasy Tactics for Playstation, or New Horizons on Sega Genesis. Both were great and easily could be my favorite game of all time. Of course CB is great, but just not my absolute favorite.

last time i checked CB was not a video game. my favorite game right now is DoA 4

Carnage Blender 1

Final Fantasy 8 before that.

Fallout
Outcast
Half Life 1 and 2
Deus Ex
Total Annihilation
Elite

FF8 was cool. Marvel vs Capcom 2 for xbox is my all time favorite though.

FF8 all time favorite

I also liked Star Ocean: Till Then End of Time

/me likes slayers taste

FF VIII is the worst piece of crap ever to be unleashed upon the unsuspecting masses. I bought it the night it came out, what a waste of $50. I could puke on a disc pop it in my playstation and have more fun.

Final Fantasy tactics. I've bought 3 copies, and thousands of hours later, I can still get wrapped up in it for months.

I can relate to FFT

My current favorite is Grand Theft Auto 2, which you can get for free from Rockstar. There's just something about the flame thrower that just makes my day when I'm feeling stressed.

Quake 3 and Half-Life 1 multiplayer on a LAN.
Elite was great until my spectrum decided it wasn't going to save anymore.
And thanks to Stephen for reminding me, Total Annihilation was awesome.

Pixelships. Google it. You won't regret it, I promise.

Did someone say pixel? Pixels! Awesome.

Anyways, Starcraft: BW has been at the top of my list for years, and I still play it with my friends occasionally. The FF games rock too, FF7 being the only one I ever actually finished... unless FFT counts too =D

FF VII Best of all time, followed by............. Scorched Earth. Yes its old but I still love it, and I'm still looking for a good version that I can play on my PC thats free.

definately these ones
Zelda a link to the past
star ocean
FF tactics for playstation

all 3 are really good, and fun

my favorite all time game is the original 007 for nintendo 64, Goldeneye, and the 2nd all time favorite would have to be Halo 1 for xbox. I'm a 1st person shooter gamer.

heh, 4 player Goldeneye on 1 TV was fun.

I'd have to say FF VII and Diablo 2

Gotta agree with Borderliner here Elite was truly an amazing game.

Chrono Trigger!!! Without a doubt the best video game ever made! EVER! 2:FFVI! 3:Lufia II! 4:Seiken Densetsu (Even Though i have not won it yet) 5:Empire Earth (Even Though It really is not a video game) 6:Gundamn Wing Endless Duel (better than street fighter IMHO)

Lemme actually switch mine to FFXI

Doom.

I think if I played the game long enough, it could be considered as my favourite so...
1. Ragnarok Online (3 years+)
2. Diablo 2 (1 1/2 years+)
3. Lufia 1 (14 x replay, from beginning to end)
4. Lufia 2 (9 x replay, from beginning to end)
5. CB 1 and 2, total of almost 2 years playing now.

Currently playing and it's soon to become my favourite : Shin Megami Tensei 3 : Nocturne.

I can't even begin to count the hours/days I lost playing 007 Goldeneye at a friends house.
One of the best multi-player games ever.

I just remembered a game I played for years on the old atari's called Alternate Reality.There was no ending so you could never finish it:)

@ linkthehero : which zelda?

nethack (unfortunately I'm not oldschool enough not to use nethackW)
Civilization 2

Awesome, no one said mine....

1. ToeJam and Earl ***1*** (2 and 3 sucked....omg)
2. FF7
3. Counter-Strike
4. Tyrants (very rare game for sega genesis, along with ToeJam and Earl 1)

Of course, within a few years when my team is done making our game, everyone will be saying "Project Aqua is the BEST GAME EVER!". I'll be rich and retire before I graduate from art school, and invest all my money into CB and become invincible with over 477 AC on each character, then become poor and work at Taco Bell for the rest of my life.

/rant

Lets see my Favorites? Umm.... Super Metroid for SNES Final Fantasy Tactics for PS Final Fantasy X for PS2 Goldeneye 007 For N64 and of course CB2 for Comp

Wow, Elite. I haven't thought about that game in a long long time...

I don't think I've ever gotten into another video game as much as I did with the Baldur's Gate series. Many many hours in front of the PC and countless nights of too little sleep.

The days of Missile Command on the Atari will always be something I look back at with a smile while I remember my teenage years and the evenings spent gathered around the black and white portable TV with a load of my friends, junk food and fizzy drinks.

Final Fantasy
Baldur's Gate
Unreal Tournament.

those are all on a shared #1 for me.

Well, I used to have so much fun with GoldenEye, Perfect Dark and Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo64! Killing three good friends never got boring!

I loved the Red Alert-series too though. And Black & White, man that was a great game! If I had enough cash to buy a new pc to be able to play the sequel, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Nowadays, my actual favorite video game must be Gran Turismo 4. Now that's a real driving simulator. =D

CB1
MOO2
Civilization
Bejeweled2

quake 3 probably consumed the most of my time, enjoyed that game immensely. I do play quake 4 now, and mostly spend my time on this game and Battlefield 2. If anyone plays battlefield 2 or q3/q4 and would like to frag together let me know! :)

pong. So mad we sold our console.

Anyone like the Sega Saturn? I see a lot of FF Tactics support (as there should be) .. but before FFT, the world of strategy RPG was ruled by SHINING FORCE 3!!!

I too spent countless hours on FF7, FF8 (hey the card game WAS cool), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and even Persona when I could stand it :P

Yes the card game was literally the only decent thing about FF8, such a disappointment especially on the summoning and magic parts.
Sega Saturn was the reason Sega started losing domination of the market, was nowhere near the standards of the Mega Drive.
I'm currently playing GTA:LCS to death but probably my favourite game has to be Rock 'n' Roll racing for the Sega Mega Drive, was so easy to get addicted.

only one vote for chrono trigger? come on!

i don't know what my favorites are, but I like chrono trigger, generally most RPG's I enjoy, especially the SNES ones, good stuff. Civilization rocks, I haven't gotten Civ IV yet, but that's basically because I don't want to flunk out of college b/c I play civ too much :P maybe i'll get it for my bday (in may).

I don't beat games very often, i get bored and switch. that's a reason why i try not to buy them very often anymore. :P

There are many more that I enjoy, most of the ones listed by others, but some not listed that are fun are Morrowind and Sacred.

geez, i could go on and on...i better not. i gotta go play some of these games now :P
first order of business: beat a SNES RPG other than chrono trigger (although, i haven't seen all of those endings yet :P).
and, go!

Oh yea Morrowind, what a game, the screenshots for the new one look fantastic.

Morrowind will be debated between gamers for cenuries as to whether it was good or bad.
The idea of an open RPG was good, the fact that it was as open as it was and the way to get stats turned out quite poor in my opinion (starting to sound why GTA:San Andreas was nearly as bad as Vice City). You can always have too much of a good thing, Morrowind did that, too much space.

These are my favorites the entire Legacy of Kaine series and both Blood Rayne games for PS2. :)

1: Fallout 1,2, Tactics
2: Planescape Torment

3: Diablo 1,2
4: Warcraft 2,3

Quake 3 was god to me, I was more addicted to that than to this. I used to play 1.16 but got away when people left for 1.32, trick jumping, and finally left when Quake 4 came out. God do I miss it ='(

man im the only Zelda vote come on BlueWolf get up here!!!

NES: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Battletoads, Mega Man 2 (Way too hard just to pick a favorite, let alone only pick three.)

SNES: Super Mario RPG or Secret of Mana (I can't decide.)

N64: Zelda: Ocarina of Time

PSX: Final Fantasy VII or Legend of Mana (Again, I can't decide.)

PS2: Shadow of the Colossus

PC: Faust: The Seven Games of the Soul

I'm a big fan of the SNES classics. Personally its a toss up between FFVI, The Legend of Zelda, and Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen.

I own all these games and I would have to say that Ogre Battle might beat them all for me. I only wish I had the patents it takes to get the good ending.

I also get a kick out of starting a 7th Saga game. Too bad the ending sucks so hard that its not worth playing that far.

I have other favorites from other systems, but that would just take forever. Trust me, I was on like page three when I decided to just cut back on the whole reply.

Pong.

Counter-Strike played from 99' to 04' (sadly I sucked till 1.6 came out and I got a machine that did more than 8 frames a second)

Kid Chamelon on the genesis was my favorite non-pc video game

Wasn't me !

kid camelion was a good one, forgot about that one, but still doesnt beat ToeJam and Earl or Tyrants

Civilization 2
Master of Orion I and II
Fallout
Deus Ex
Darklands

Color me old school.

Other than those, the Madden series for PS2 are probably the only recent game that really sticks with me.

Earthbound. What other game let you order pizzas, fight with baseball bats, and use psychic powers?

Monster Party was pretty nifty.
My favorite is Halo/Halo2
Close catches are Champions of Norrath (only with friends), and Soul Calibur III

Resident Evil all of them

yeah forgot about those they all rocked nothing better than the shotgun :)

Glad to see Civ2 and Goldeneye are still remembered. Thanks SNK for a choice format.
NES: Mike Tyson(fight on midget mike)
SNES: Super Mario World
PS: Twisted Metal 2(couldn't remember what my real favorite was and not an FF fan*gasp*)
N64: Zelda: Ocarina/Mario 64(so many good games for that system)
PS2: GT3/GTA3 and SA(need to rent shadow...)
Xbox: Baldur's Gate: Dark A. II/Star Wars Battlefront(there's my nerd side...)
PC: HL2, Civ4, Battlefield 2, Starcraft, the next UT
Was a fan of the Armored Core series(only need 2 more) but now it's like ugh. Most mentioned are the ones played the most. Meaning they gave me the most enjoyment. Can't pick any one game over all others, doubt any smart player can. Shame on those that do. Not much on the sides for Medal of Honor or Call of Duty 2 eh, yeah creativity can be a big issue and on the dot history doesn't allow much wiggle room. Most would agreed great games even if they don't stand out. I'll play FF7 the remix if that will please the masses. Don't mind turn-based RPGs but gets so linear I lose interest, plus I'm not into anime.

Link if you would read the other posts you would see a few more zelda fans and that you were asked a question.

Madden NFL 06 On X-Box(Live is best) for me!

The best ever: Zelda - Ocarina of Time
[I played it on N64. I still do, from time to time, on a PC using emulator, and still know half of the songs by heart ;)]

Other games:
Dune 2
Sensible World Of Soccer [ better know as SWOS]
GTA 3 VC
BG 1

Fable xbox.

Downhill Domination
Star Wars Battlefront 1&2
Halo 2

I'll pick 3 for each system:

NES: Megaman 2, Crash and the boys street challenge, dragon warrior
SNES: FF6, rock and roll racing, Super Metroid, Tetris Attack (okay 4 games)
Gameboy: Tetris, Quaterback Club, mega man V
PS: FF Tactics, Castlevania: SOTN (there is a reason that game was worth $250 used once), Legend of the Dragoon
Gamecube: Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 4, Pikman (MY VAST ARMY OF MIDGETS!!! MWHAHAHA!)
PS2: Crazy Taxi, Blitz: The League, SWBF:2
PC (based almost soley on time played, and forgetting CB2): A.D.O.M., Gunbound, Alpha Centari

Never owned:
N64: Golden eye, Blast Corps, Smash Bros
Sega Genisis: The first sonic, altered beast, Golden Axe

I'll add System Shock 2 on the PC

Awww! Forgot games like Smash Bros., Tetris, Double Dragon, Mortal Kombat, RE4, and to even mention a Saga game Dreamcast or Genesis. Also rented a 3DO way back when along with Road Rash. Would also have to throw in a favorite arcade game, but don't know what that knock out game with the boxing gloves on cords is called. Many of you could blindside me with the number of hours spent on one game.
Can tell genres are no restrictions. So many to mention, so little bias. ;)

Ok so I have way too many fav games ... I'll add a couple to my list as well .. heck why not?!? Maybe every day or so I'll just add one game for each system I enjoyed.. NES - Batman SNES - Mario Paint (lol) GENESIS - Eternal Champions DREAMCAST - D2 PSX - Thrill Kill (unreleased) PS2 - TRAPT N64 - Pokemon Snap (hey, you get to knock out pokemon with PESTER BALLS) X-BOX - Castlevania: Curse of Darkness 3d0 - The Incredible Machine I enjoy this thread .. keep the posts coming :)

Battle Isle - Amiga

Haven't seen this mentioned, but...

The Serious Sam Series.

The perfect way to relieve stress after a long, tiring day.

Favorite Video game well I have many. Chrono trigger I like it is a classic, all the Zelda games, FF 7,8,9,10, my current fav. is dragon quest 8 (iam back playing the others they are good too. Heck any RPG i like. Star Ocean Till the end of time is good too.

Battlefield Vietnam and Star Wars Battlefront for the PC...of course there was a period of a couple years I couldn't get off of Diablo II....but I'm over that now.

At the moment my favorite video game is:

The gaming platforms I've used are NES, SNES, and Playstation; I only play PC now. I don't have too much time for gaming, especially since I started playing CB, which is the only game I play now, and is the only one I haven't gotten bored of after a few months.

For NES, the original Zelda was good.

For SNES, FF2 and FF3 (aka FF4 and FF6) were both amazing games. FF3 is still one of my favorites.

For Playstation, FF7 was without a doubt my favorite (though there were only a few games I actually played for that system...), and FF8 was pretty fun.

For PC, the original Quake was very good, as it had a much better atmosphere that any of it's sequels or competitors.

Blizzard's games were favorites as they came out: Warcraft II, Diablo, Starcraft, Diablo II, and their expansions. I haven't played the more recent ones.

The Civilization games have been favorites (CivII, Civ:CTP, CivIII), but I'm not going to let myself play Civ4 until I've finished my thesis.

Daggerfall and Morrowind were also favorites, until the repetitiveness bored me.

I just remembered a few more LOL Starwars Knights of the old republic 1+2, All the Lufia games, the Lunar series is alright, all resident evil games, and Silent hill all of them, I highly recommend everyone trying silent hill series you won't regret it if you like survival horror games.

I keep giving Silent Hill a chance and I think that the first is the best one. Silent Hill 2 was pretty good also, but after that they just don't seem up to par. AMIGA??? Wow .. I had a rockin game on the Amiga that I found later on the Sega Genesis. It was horrible on the SG, but the Amiga version played great!! If you're a fan of Zelda then you must check out:

what platform is that FTA? Chappy?

I didn't want the image to be that big and I apologize. It kinda takes away from what I was saying above the image lol ... I played this game on the Amiga way back in the day, however it was released on the Sega Genesis. It was not as good, though, due to controller issues. The Amiga version just played a lot smoother :)

Sorry to all about the size of that puppy :)

Wait oops I just noticed you said what system it was on in the previous message, with the picture sry hah

Kingdom Hearst, and hopefully Kingdom Hearts 2
Guild Wars
FF7 and FF8

You know they are making a game based on FF7 staring Vincent, but I forget what it is called I shall do research on it.

Rainbow Islands, Zool, the Lotus driving game, Fuzzball, Bubble Bobble. So many great games on the amiga!
