Re: Best video game you've ever played

Best games I ever played that I look back on with satisfaction and truly felt like an achievement were the original Wasteland game for the Commodore 64. It took me and a buddy an entire Summer to finish that. We'd play baseball until dark and then come in and play through the night. He basically lived at my house.

Finishing X-Com:Enemy Within on Classic Iron Man was an awesome experience as well. In Ironman mode there is no reloading. Your squad member dies, they are dead forever. No reset, no second chance. One mission I got totally ambushed and the Aliens cut off the exit point. Squad members were falling. I was trying to save them all. It was so intense. My irreplaceable veteran sniper and 1 other made it out. The other 4 died. Plenty of Aliens still attacking the squad. It was tough leaving them behind. It was such an incredible battle. The Sniper who survived then went nuts on the Aliens when they invaded the base. Totally turned the tables on them. More games should have Ironman. Every movement has a consequence and it could be the last.

I'm not sure that hours played is a good barometer for greatest game for me.

Many older games didn't have the ability to record your game time so who knows.

I do know that I had roughly 1280 hours played on BF4 and that isn't even in my top 5.

Agreed....I put over 100 hrs into Fallout 3, and I actually hated that game. Why did I keep playing? I have no idea. Sometimes I'm stubborn...

Re: Best video game you've ever played

This was a tough one for me to call, but if I have to choose the best game I have ever played.

Metal Gear Solid.

Some of the most memorable boss fights in a game for me. Psycho Mantis disabling your controller and reading your memory card. The battle against Sniper Wolf. Running from Raven. Everything was just right with the game for me.

This, my friend.

Uncharted and Mass Effect might be better series, but this is the first game I thought of. And that's typically the right answer.

If I had one game that could be remade one PS4, this is also it.
