Ultima IV !!! Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.

I bet most people here don't know any of the Ultima games.

I have not kept up with gaming much for the past decade, so my list is going to be very dated. In no particular order:

  • Starsiege: Tribes (Tribes 2 gets an honorable mention)
  • EarthSiege 2
  • EverQuest (very begrudgingly, but it did kick the era of MMORPGs into overdrive, and I was addicted to it for almost a decade)
  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
  • Mass Effect Legendary Edition (I'm counting the trilogy as a single game)
  • X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter
  • Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe
  • Cities: Skylines
  • Star Trek Online (only because of storylines)
  • Battlefield 1942

No console games on my list, because PCMR! :P

[Edit] Almost forgot Star Control 2!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I have a whole separate list for arcade games.

  • Mortal Kombat (including only 1, 2, and 3. Hated 4 with a passion.)
  • Virtua Fighter 2
  • Killer Instinct 1 and 2
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom
  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo
  • X-Men (1992 side scroller)
  • NBA Jam
  • Tekken 3
  • Daytona USA (really reaching here)
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (struggling to get the list to 10)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

  1. Chrono Trigger

Okay done

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Ranking is tough but I'll give it a go. The ranking is based on the impact and enjoyment I got out of them regardless of playtime.

  1. What Remains of Edith Finch & Kentucky Route Zero (shared 1st place)

  2. Life is Strange

  3. Stray

  4. GRIS

  5. Cyberpunk 2077

  6. SOMA

  7. Heaven's Vault

  8. The Town of Light

  9. FAR: Lone Sails

  10. Portal 2

That last one is a bit of an outlier but I have laughed so much while playing it, it deserves a place at the table.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I see you like narrative-driven games. Have you played Detroit : become human? It scratched the itch for me when I ran out of life is strange

This is off the top of the dome and given more time I'd probably change this significantly, but here's 10 of my favorites from a multitude of genres:

  • Rain World
  • Outer Wilds
  • Stephen's Sausage Roll

(Those are pretty firmly my top 3, all totally mindblowing experiences that surprised and awed me multiple times)

  • Spelunky 2
  • Getting Over It
  • Peaks Of Yore
  • Satisfactory
  • Dark Souls PTDE
  • Hunt: Showdown
  • Morrowind

Honorable mentions for Guilty Gear and Tekken as series, and I have a special place in my heart for the 2000 title Sacrifice, which is my eternal top pick for a remaster/remake.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

In no real particular order, games with highest impact on me:

  1. battlefield 1942 - desert combat mod

Ground breaking at the time. Physics and gamespeed have never been captured by any other game. Consumed my free time for a long time.

2 counter strike

Simple concept, extreme depth. I've clocked several thousand hours into this franchise.

  1. The witcher 3

In terms of world building and story telling... Incredible.

  1. The Witness

Absolute masterclass in game design, world design. Puzzle design.. This is an incredible puzzle game that will shift your perspective.

  1. Faster than light

I haven't found anything else quite scratch that replay ability, that tethering on the brink of losing, itch. It's a unique game.

  1. Guild wars 2

Completely changed the way mmorpgs were played, and was a great mmo.

  1. Monkey Island

I wanted to mention a point and click, several spring to mind, but this still series lives in my mind the most. Although space quest is another that impacted my young brain.

  1. Minecraft

Like... I was there since its debut. Still watching and enjoying mc related content.

  1. Elite

Space is pretty big and cool

  1. Eve online

Getting back stabbed by the person you've been back stabbing for, so you join the enemies of your friends to be able to backstab your backstabbers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Boom Blocks - Wii - top of my list. Not because it's a good game, but because my kids and I had uproarious hours spent playing it together.
Video game I have not yet figured out the name of. It came out in 1986(ish?) and it had a robot/cyborg in a kind of metroidvania level set. Macintosh.
Doom, the original. Scared the PISS out of me. Then I played it hardcore after that. Doom II came out and I set up LAN parties and opened up my nascent IT outsourcing business for those. Helldivers 2 - Honestly, I haven't actually engaged with a game this hard for decades. Senua's Sacrifice - This game helped me considerably, in understanding the people I love. Doom 2016 - What's not to like. It's perfect. Starcraft II - When it came out. Excellent weaving of story and gameplay. HI-FI Rush - Unexpected fun. Zork - I would have never expected this level of amazing story telling this many years ago.
I know I am short of 10, but I can't think of anything else.

  3. World of Warcraft, as long as I can avoid cataclysm

I don't play them but would easily

  4. Quake II + lithium (slow hooks; hi Nelson crew)
  5. Dune 2

Huh. That's it. StarCraft is out as I played for a day before cavedog ruined it for me forever, but it get it if you still love it.
