Re: What’s your all-time favorite video game?
Damn....this is almost impossible for me to answer, and as Large Richard Chef alluded to, my choice would also change over time.
If I HAD to pick one game right now, it would be a toss-up between Ogre Batle 64 and FFTA, actually, with Skies of Arcadia, PSO, and Morrowind rounding out the top 5.
Okay, now for the requisite Perversion wall of text explaining my choices....
Ogre Battle expanded on everything that was great about the original SNES version, and added a deeper storyline. Gameplay is almost a clone of what it was (which is a good thing), and I spent HOURS upon HOURS just sitting in the character select screens, outfitting and micromanaging the hell out of my characters. Dunno why, but I totally dig micromanagement in these types of games.
As for FFTA, see response above, but leave out the part about a deep storyline, because we all know that a snowball fight is as deep as the storyline gets.
.....
As for the top 5 choices I listed above, if I had to combine the hours invested in all of them, I'd conservatively guestimate it at about 1300-1400 hours.Last edited by Perversion; 09-12-2008, 11:53 PM.Comment

Come on, it's a LITTLE bit deeper than all that. At least the funny-haired chick (Ritz?) has actual character development. But yeah, SNOWBALL FIGHT LULZ.Originally posted by Perversion View Postbecause we all know that a snowball fight is as deep as the storyline gets......"Mindless killing doesn't do a lot for me anymore." - SampsonComment

Since I was called out...Originally posted by Dreamknight View Post
Silent Hill 2 is the pinnacle of the series simply because it so beautifully blends story with gameplay. If you observe carefully, you'll notice that all the enemies you fight in the game all harken to the plot and have a reason for being there. There's no zombie dogs just because zombie dogs are cool.
Plus, the story is fantastic. It's possibly the best story any game has ever had, and part of that is that it's actually a fairly simple story that's extremely well-told. I don't think anyone who has played the game will ever forget the cutscene in the hotel room.
Then there's Pyramid Head, who's just a great antagonist. Come on, the dude is freaky as hell, and every time you ran into him, you knew it was bad because he could kill you so quickly if you didn't act carefully.
It's also scary. It's the epitome of the Silent Hill series, and should be the model for all survival horror games.
HOWEVER, all that being said, it's not my favorite game.
My favorite game is the Baldur's Gate series (Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate 2, Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal). I count it as one long game, because you're actually playing the same character throughout all three games, and your statistics never get reset. Your level at end of BG1 is what you start with at BG2. In fact, mods exist that will make it all run as a single game.
But that's not why it's my favorite. It's my favorite because it has one of the deepest and most tactical gameplay systems I've ever seen. It's actually made me play any other RPG differently simply because of the ways it forces you to do things differently.
The story is also pretty good, with fantastic writing. It's got some of the best characters ever (Minsc and Jan Jansen say hi), and it's just plain fun.

Yeah, but how can you respect a game that names its main female character after a cracker?Originally posted by Irish Daigle View Post
Anyway, the snowball fight comment was actually a response to Dreamy in that Mario RPG thread last week (this week?). I personally like the game, and do not mind the snowball fight, and am perfectly aware that the story IS a bit deeper than that.Comment

They always do.
As soon as Mora, Patryn, Magus, Perversion, and a select few others hop in. And apparently Jamos, whose pretension score is so high that no game is good enough."Mindless killing doesn't do a lot for me anymore." - SampsonComment

Re: What’s your all-time favorite video game?
I don't think Jamos was trying to come across as a pretentious videogame snob, he simply hasn't fallen completely in love with a single videogame yet. Sound crazy though, seeming as there are many fantastic games out there to be enjoyed. Favorite doesn't necessarily mean "perfect" either, and the idea of perfection is speculative, but then again, who really cares? The statement is snobbish, but I don't think he meant it that way.
As for me, well, I don't feel much like answering this question because I can't pigeon-hole one specific game as my all-time favorite. I have many, and I would break that down by Genre (for the most part). Excluding sports games, of course.
Now I've gone and done what I just called the topic out for being.
