I can't remember when i last got to play a game that :
1:was fun and entertaining all the time.
2:when i never got tired.
3:the history was top class.
4:i wanted to replay it after i finished it.
5:i could play it for moths witout finishing it.
To sum it up my lates games i have tested is:
Half life(played 1-2days , never replayed it)
WoW(qitted fast)
gw(i only play once in the week)
Silent hunter 3(got boring fast)
hearts of iron 2(only one i have left)
So when in the good games coming?
Burnout: Takedown
Shadow of the Colossus/Wander and the Colossus
I've been playing nethack for like 12 years. Since version 3.1.3 actually. Still haven't finished it; the boredom of like thirty maze levels in Gehennom eventually gets to me and I make that one stupid and entirely avoidable mistake. Then it's "do you want your possessions identified" and a new high score and a promise to never play that goddamn game again.
That damn game has cost me an entrance into a good school (8 years ago) and a job. And I'm going to have to beat it in my lifetime. They day will come, oh yes.
FFVII, Resident Evil (all of them), Xenogears
The Beatmania IIDX series: If you think you know about hard games, you ain't seen NOTHING yet. This game makes MGS3 and Ninja Gaiden Black look pathetic in comparison when it comes to sheer challenge. It will kick your ass at every single step in your skill progression, from your earliest beginnings to when you can AAA some songs with no problems. And best of all, it's such a fun, intuitive series, that you'll keep coming back for more. Significantly easier in the US release, but still VERY hard and VERY fun.
single word
Fable
alright, sure, it glitches sometimes, but its the best rpg ive plaed in a damn long time
metal gear solid subsistence, both snake eater + persistence
in regards to the beatmania game, I have not actually played it yet but it is at my work and was wondering if you could explain a little more about it >>105, Tripcode. Is it similar to DDR in the way the skill progression and timing are key?
I love battlefield 2 because of the l33t gamers r very impressive.It has a ranking system in the game thnx EA, I owe you one!
I like Battlefield 2 because fast vehicles with C4 on them annoy other people.
I just play POD's 'Boom' in the background, and I'm all set.
I enjoy the Metal Gear series, and I loved Phantom Brave.
CAVE STORY
>>1 You have very high standards for your games. I can't remember liking any game that much except when I was a grade schooler and only had "Beyond Dark Castle" to play on my father's black-and-white mac. And that was mostly because it was all I had. When I think of good games I think series, and I think what might I pay full initial release price (when I can spare the cash) for. Five series come to mind but most had moderate to serious disapointments in some of the titles.
5.Baldur's Gate. All the stuff I loved about playing DnD with friends, except less dice rolling, weeping over dead characters, and socialisation. Win some, lose some.
A couple of hours ago when I played Wander and Collossus.
EveryExtend, and it's free too. Another great game is CloudPhobia, also free.
Also, Touhou games (especially Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night) keep my attention for a while too.
DDR, as mentioned before, is great until you get tired.
Metroid Prime 2 I have completed and I'm going back for a run through Hard Mode.
Ouendan is great, as is Guitar Hero. That's all I can think of for now.
Beatmania IIDX
DJMAX for PSP
Ridge Racer PSP
Idol Janshi wo Tsukucchaou (Suchi Pai Dreamcast)
I'll play these games any time. I wish I could say the same of the Metal Gear Solid games and RE4 - they're awesome, no mistake, but both just ended up unfinished for me. I get to certain points in the game, and all the fun just disappears around the same time repeating a section 10x makes no progress...
Soul Calibur 3, One of the best "dress up" games I've ever played.
Killer7
If you have played full game and didn't like it then I pitty you.
Final Fantasy 10 is the only game I TRULY enjoyed. Every second of playing that was fucking golden. I haven't played a game since that I liked so much.
Shadow Hearts Covenant

I just started playing Steambot Chronicles. It's pretty great.
i have an issue with steambot chronicles, somewhat. well it's more of an issue with games at large. but it's extremely apparent here.
this game is advertised as one you can play in many different ways, as they say "be a bad guy if you want" ... so, why can't you be gay? you can reject the advances of connie to a certain extent, but the option "kiss hand" when meeting new people only appears with females...
then there's the gay character who runs the arena in nefroburg, i forget his name. he's just about as ridiculous, borderline-offensive as stereotypes get. and he hits on vanilla, but the most you can do is grudgingly sort-of accept his invitation to have dinner with him, and even if you do accept it never actually happens.
ah, well.
maybe i'm expecting a bit much from video games, it's not a medium known for its maturity in dealing with such issues.
>>123
they didn't think of it
>>124
they must have at least thought of it, when they were designing the options menu for meeting people. someone made a conscious decision to limit the more romantic choices to women. it wouldn't have had a huge effect on the game if you could do the same to men, maybe it would track an additional stat somewhere or something. likewise they obviously considered homosexual characters, since there is one, but never thought of making them anything more than the joke that he became.
Tetris
Ever since I discovered the Tales of - series. Starting with Tales of Phantasia it's been pure joy since September!
Final fantasy XII is the best game so far for me....
Final Fantasy 12 looks intresting. And may very well be such a game as Thrillho described. I will look into it.
I will contribute with Valkyrie Profile
I enjoyed Shadow of the Colossus...
Very beautifully made game >_>
I heard about Valkyrie Profile.nice game,i'm looking foward to play it >0<
Cooking Mama
i dont really nkow when i last played a really good game.
Maybe the last great game i played since ffx & New super mario bros is probably Cave story. :/
Today's games is more graphics and how many blood particles you can create or how big a boss you can put in that level than actual gameplay and innovation.
I hate todays games. WHYYY
> I hate todays games. WHYYY
Because you are not even trying to find the good ones.
On that note, last good game: Rhythm Tengoku on the GBA. Nutty rhythm-based minigames from the makers of Warioware. It's incredibly addictive, and also hilarious.
shadow of the colossus
best game on the PS2
I finished Twilight Princess for Wii an hour ago, and it is one of the best games I have ever played. Before TP I played Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All (逆転裁判２) and it was really good as well.
The last game I played that I truly enjoyed was Final Fantasy X.
North Korea thinks that I sell a nuclear weapon to Islam radical group from lack of funds at last.
I think that a radical group uses the nuclear weapon which I bought from North Korea for American attack
North Korea is the country which is dangerous to U.S.A
shadow of the colossus is a great game
I played a game called "THRILLHO MOM" and it matches all of your game demnads
IMO: FFVII, DDR (some of the early versions), Lumines (+2 hours of 100% concentration x_x), Silent Hill 1 (PSX), and others.
When was it? Back then, games where trapped in your mind as a puzzle. You would play it for hours, and then encounter a problem that pisses you off. You save and turn the system off. Sleep.
Next day, you hang out with your friends, talking about the girls, food and video games. You discuss your problem with the guys. No good ideas from them. You continue thinking of a solution as you drive back home. And then, BAM!! The answer to your question is quite simple; you mentally make a strategy plan to counter the situation, thinking it is one clear and
You rush to your bedroom and turn the system on. The game loads. You press a couple of buttons in your mission, and you go to another level. You sit back on your bed, a great smile drawn on your face. Satisfaction.
When was the last time I went through that same story?

(+[___]※) Kind-of proud user
Shadow of the Colossus and Ico were great o.o
Lets see... To fill your chriteria, I'd say these games:
Note, some of them have their dragging points, but I forgive them anyway. Also not counting Multiplayer games.
Earthbound, Illusions of Gaia, Shadow of the Colossus, Paper mario: thousand year door, Super Paper Mario, Star Ocean 2, Portal (short, but fun to replay again and again), Super Mario 64, (I want to say Xenogears, but it can be brutal at times but it will take you forever to finish it), Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy 6, Super Mario bros 3, Super Mario World, Disgaea.
There's plenty more, but i don't have my collection in front of me, so this is all I can think of off-hand.
Final Fantasy X and FFVII DoC
Before that Final Fantasy VII
Tales of the Abyss.
I love the 'Tales of' games.
I haven't had a game like what OP described since I played Shadow of the Colossus and Okami, which was 2006-2007ish.
Since then, Odin Sphere and Persona 3 came close, Persona 3 was very close, but I got tried of both at some point and neither quite had that "epic, holy-shit-this-is-awesome" feeling to them.
Diablo II. Yeah, its been that long for me since I've actually had fun playing games.
stay awhile, and listen!
"left 4 dead" is a pretty good game. the zombies are pretty real life.
i also recommend counter-strike:condition zero the bots are pretty real life
play MONSTER HUNTER FREEDOM 2 or if u have a modified PSP download MH 2nd G, this is the best game ever, me and my friends are playing this for 2 months now and its still a long way to go to finish this, i have like 200 playing hrs already and ull never get tired of the multiplayer coOperative gameplay. best game ever to hit the PSP
SMT Nocturne back in 2004, I got way too into that game...
Dead Rising was also a good one.
Azure dreams Man I wish they will have a remake on DS!!!!
That game did rock, and was one of the games that got me into the PS, but a "spiritual sequel" did come out called Tao's adventure. I never played it myself, but I heard it wasn't well received.
Right now completely addicted to Star Ocean: First Departure. I tried playing the SNES version, but emulators all broke trying to play it. I'm having a lot of fun playing, all the characters (that I have, anyway) are likable.
>>157 You'll like the next one too, its got some nice replay value to it!
I guess the only gmaes that this can apply to is ones that are more user based then program based. Counter-Strike, Warcraft 3, and any other games that evolve over time are the longest lasting. Player versus player keeps makes the game different everytime!
Christ, my friend STILL plays "battleships" in Warcraft 3. that freakin game is THE most long lasting game I've ever seen. From the game itself, to Dota, tower defense, and the million other things you can do with it, it was some SERIOUS bang for your buck.
>>159
If you go that way, Starcraft and Half-Life (+ numerous mods) were probably the most long lasting... but War3 is probably headed that way, I guess.
I think one of the last REALLY GOOD games I've played has been Mass Effect. The game itself had many flaws, notably some weaker side quests and relatively short lifespan, but the universe was so credible (honestly, it's the greatest Space Opera setting I've seen in quite a while) and the dialogue so well written... I got all the way into it. Can't wait for the sequels.
Another Bible for Gameboy.
There a number of issues here and there that I have with it, but a portable game resembling Majin Tensei is pretty cool. Too bad we never got it with Revelations. I wouldn't go out of my way to replay it because it can be pretty long during each battle, but it really shows some effort was honestly put into it. I only wish the three Shining Forces on the game gear had explorable towns outside of battles too. The fact that CD didn't sucked. Even Crystal Warriors had them to an extent...
Good sir, I must confess I have no idea what you are talking about.
Totally right. Mass Effect is a great game. However, Games that got me in a gaming frenzy were Unreal II: The Awakening (best ending ever), Mass Effect, the Half-Life series and Mirror's Edge.
Mirror's Edge is a game that I've passed like, 8 times, and I still don't get tired of it. The story is mediocre at best, but it has a great setting, totally sold by one of the most artistic graphics ever. The main character is charming, and there is a general tragic but rebellious feeling to everything.
Indeed , Mirror's Edge is one of the best games I've played.
MGS4 was the last time I completely enjoyed a game. I buy a lot of games, so it's rare that I play one game at a time and don't touch any other games until I finish it. But I played MGS4 nonstop and wanted to replay it immediately after finishing.
left 4 dead is really good awesome speed for the zomb of course no more lame axe throwing from the undead. crisis core psp have really good story line and graphic, though not the best game :/
Kirby Star Stacker!
Legend of Mana. Now, actually.
May not have the best story system I've heard about, but the battle system is a fucking awesome system.
It's a great game.
Big Bang Beat also MUGEN LOL
Bumping this shit 'cos it needs to be remembered.
The last time I played a good good game was Fallout 3. Seriously. There isn't anything bad about that game.
I'm playing Bioshock for the first time. It's really awesome, but maybe a bit too easy with that awesome lightning wrench combo. Big Daddy battles make up for it.
In my opinion, Legend of Mana was the best of the series. I know everyone loves Secret of Mana, but I hated that game. And Secret of Mana 2 had too much grind, even with an emulator with fastforward.
I have fond memories of playing LoM with my sister.
Though Dawn of Mana was pretty cool. It was cool to see the Mana world in 3D. Very pretty game.
Last game I got completely sucked into was Assassins Creed 2. It helped that this time around they developed the main character into an interesting guy instead of a silent vehicle for the gameplay. And goddamn, the game is gorgeous to look at.
Plus, I became best bros with Leonardo Da Vinci.
I dont have a console, but there're also many fantastic games on PC, for example, Mount & Blade, I really love it! It's a mixture of ACT, STG and RPG, you can grow your own character and join one of the five battling countries, enjoy the feeling of becoming a knight or a laird, just like the mid-country Europe.
You can meet nice people and be a part of the justice, or walk with thieves, robbers, do whatever you want.
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
Great game, the only problem is the friendly ai, but it doesn't bother me that much.
It's pretty long and hard (cocks lol) and it has an awesome expansion pack, so it kind of sticks it to mw2 (cocks again) even though the graphics and such aren't as up to date.
I think I'm going to go reinstall it...
Hopefully someone plays online still, that game had the best multiplayer (and community) that I've seen in a loooooong time.
Half-Life (obligatory)
I was a kid when I first beat it, and it took me like a month to beat it. Nowadays it takes me like 15 or so hours. I just cannot figure out how it could possibly have taken me a month to finish.
The multiplayer is still somewhat (read: somewhat) still alive today on WON2.
Opposing Force
Better than half life. By a mile. More intense, better graphics (well... sort of. The laser dot is actually rounded! and the troops are more detailed! whoo!), better puzzles, better guns, better story, it's the origin of the portal gun, has a BFG which Half-Life was in severe lack of, and there isn't a bunch of time wasted with shit like carting around on a trolley car (as much) or jumping around xen like in half life.
I can't find any matches online though!!!!!! ;.;
I play the Age of Chivalry mod for the source engine, you can get it free through Steam. It's really good for being free and has a decent online community, also they still have updates so if you don't like it check back in a while and it'll be better.
Legend of Legaia(PS 1)
Too bad the sequel made the gamers shit bricks..
I'm playing Messiah at the moment. It's great, and I've wanted to play it since it came out, so I'm glad to have it now. It's glitchy as fuck, but once you figure out how to deal with all that shit (crashing, long unskippable preview upon game boot up, etc) it's a great game.
Currently thrilled with the Left 4 Dead series.
That's the kind of multiplayer gaming I want.
The first Halo was badass.
I still play the PC version to this day, and I got that shit when it first came out 7 years ago (I also had the xbox version;the online multiplayer was definitely worth the extra 40 bucks, believe me, even with the laggy servers).
VVVVVV (http://thelettervsixtim.es/) is awesome game and most old-school gamers who are sick of today's games tend to love it.
Minecraft. It's still in alpha, but over time it's improved in massive leaps. Beta is apparently coming soon.
>>181
That is an amazing game. I played Don't Look Back by the same creator.
How long ago did Snake Eater come out?
March of 2007 I think. Phenomenal game.
Little Big Planet turned my world upside down.
On the PC end, Fallout 3 was almost an obsession. You have to turn the difficulty way up because it's too easy otherwise.
ust got the Serious Sam series off Steam for $10. I never played them before. I'm enjoying the hell out of the first game. I haven't finished it yet, I just got the Laser gun.
This year, CoD MW2
I love Monster Hunter!!
This Figure is so cool!!
