I love variety and I could never point to one game being my favorite. What about you guys? :3

      Played it before the expansion then several times with. Have been running through the new Gothic 1 remake all week. Most faithful remake I’ve ever seen, but the magic is even worse than before. Play melee or archer and the nostalgia is amazing.

        Oh right I forgot they were making a remake… how is it?

        If you want more classic Gothic I would recommend the Chronicles of Myrtana mod.

          I had no hope it would ever happen, then suddenly saw it released. It’s buggy, and you can lock yourself out of joining any camp, and it’s beautiful. My memory tells me 99% of it is identical to the original game, and that it looked just like this… but comparing this looks way better.

          Really shocked how much they nailed it, including the occasional bugs and trying to figure out how to get around issues. They mainly updated graphics but not so much mechanics. Using a controller you use the 4 buttons as the 4 attacks that used to be Ctrl+arrow keys. Definitely hoping they keep going and give G2 NotR the same update.

    Factorio. 10k hours and I still play it over and over again when I get cravings or when there’s. No other games to play.

    2nd is Minecraft and 3rd is rimworld

    Of course all of them HEAVILY modded.

    Difficult to choose a single one. But a game that has been my stable side game for ages, that I constantly keep in circulation and that no other game has come close to replicating the feel of for me has been Enter the Gungeon.

    Original Borderlands on xbox360. Ain’t no way I’ll find anything I could spend as much time as I have in that game and still love it. Been playing on and off for over a decade, with DLCs included. And this is from me having come from the second game. Just happen to like the atmosphere and storytelling of the original better, for the most part.

    Favorite character is specifically Mordecai since I think he has the best ability. Favorite weapon is between one of the fire and corrosive infinite ammo recharge alien weapons.

    Star Control II (1992)

    Still hasn’t been beaten yet due to the humor, immersion and in my opinion sublime story,
    although “We Love Katamari” came very close with its humor,
    enormous fun gameplay and awesome music.

    Same goes for “Super Smash Bros. Melee”.
    I never owned the game.
    I first played it because I decided to join a
    3-day LAN party without knowing what was expected,
    so I immediately decided to return home with my old laptop until I noticed
    this single couch stuffed in the corner with only one game playing for anyone to join,
    48 hours later with only a few occasional breaks of 4+ friend groups prying me from the couch,
    I decided that the LAN party was still somewhat a success
    and that I needed to go home and sleep all Sunday.

    I Will forever call Star Control II “The best game of the 20th century”

    Though I have to admit that I practically stopped playing computer games
    when World of Warcraft came out.

    Overall, bg3. Looking back all the way to pong, I haven’t had as much fun for as long as with bg3.

    Not that I want to play it every single time I put in game time. I do like variety too. But in terms of sheer joy of play, bg3 just hits the right points.

    I can maybe see a future game topping it, though I suspect that would be a rarity what with the things in games that really hit for me being hard to find in one game. Even bg3 doesn’t hit every single thing that I love in games, it just hits the most important ones. It’s not perfect, but I’ve never required that in a game.

    Also impossible to pick just one, but depending on my mood it’d likely be one of these:

    • Half-Life
    • Quake
    • Outer Wilds
    • Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars
    • GTA III

    Hard to choose from these three: Planescape Torment. Disco Elysium. World of Warcraft Vanilla.

    and maybe MGS4 on PS3 was good. :)

      Ive been telling people that Disco Elysium is “basically planescape torment but without the party and combat”

    Expedition 33 quickly eclipsed anything that could have been considered my favorite game last year.

    Pure art.

      One of the best games I’ve ever played. Absolutely loved it.

      I can’t say it’s my favorite cause nothing will ever beat Diablo 2 but it’s definitely top 5.

        completely fair. i had to be very honest with myself to be able to say that (for me) it beats all my favorite games from childhood

    left 4 dead 2 - imperfect as it is, the friends and communities i played and modded versus games with, made it the best, thousands of hours well spent.

      I can’t figure out how the devs dropped the ball so hard with Evolve or that more recent L4D clone that also sucked.
