What Is Your Favorite Video Game?

88 posts in this topic

I have always had a soft spot for Earthbound which was released for the SNES in 1995.

It is about a kid in modern times, who unlocks his psychic potential to save Earth.
The game's charming art style, humor and wild music/environments made me create a similar game of my own.
I deeply connected with the spiritual aspects, as well (such as learning the meaning of "Mu") and it always give me a warm feeling when I am reminded of it.

It's too bad Nintendo keeps cancelling the fan remakes.

@RendHeaven thank you for telling me I'm awesome. I saw that your a Pokemon fan too. I stopped playing the main stream games after generation 7. Unlike my sister I didn't want to buy new game consoles just to keep up with everything. I managed to collect nearly every Pokemon up to that point aside from a couple of event only pokemon.

My first Pokemon game was gold version on the game boy color. I tried playing silver, but something was wrong with the game and it didn't save properly. Yellow version worked just fine though. I never played the third generation games because I didn't have a game boy advance and I stopped at sun and moon. I played with my sister and helped her get deoxys  alpha sapphire though which was fun. I spent over one hundred hours on Pokemon platinum. I had finally gotten the villa toward the end of the post game. I remember that feeling or impulse I had which said "get them all." I then played everyday catching every Pokemon I could except for a couple of event pokemon. I transferred all of it to Pokemon white and I have well over 600 pokemon, I don't remember the exact number. I have over a hundred hours on that game as well. The only pokemon I didn't catch were mew, celebi, jirachi, darkrai, arceus, and melloetta. I have darkrai, arceus, and mew in another game now though. In later games I got everything but magerna and marshadow. I believe I finished the kalos dex. My favorite one to play might be black two and white two. These versions give you a lot to do like joy avenue, the championship matches, and so on.

Some of my favorite Pokemon are mew, sylveon, gardevoir,( I was attracted to its trainer loyalty in platinum when it created a black hole to defend its trainer. I thought it was cool so I put it on my team, unaware of the porn.), Murkrow has a nice hat, Scolopede looks cool, zorua is cute, and a bunch of others.

I once killed an arceus in a competitive battle with a level one rattata. I never saw my opponent's reaction so I can only imagine.

If I had to choose a competitive team, I would use a sand storm team like tyranitar and metagross, set up spikes and stealth rock, something like this looks interesting. Rain teams are interesting too, especially with thunder and hurricane never missing.

Pre-EOC RuneScape and Oldschool RuneScape. Thousands of hours on that game. Probably made over 30 different accounts over the course of 17 years.

Gotta be Runescape for me as well

The moment you see it, the head stops spinning thoughts. On the contrary, your heart starts beating faster. It is something totally different from the idea of truth." -Osho

Minecraft and GTA 5. I love open-ended games where I can do whatever I want and be creative. I love Minecraft especially, the creative potential in that game is insane, and its just ridiculously fun.

Wow if we met IRL I would deadass talk pokemon with you for hours lol.

Sometimes I put on sinnoh/unova music in the background & just stare at objects around me. This instantly makes everything magical.

My phone background is art of gyarados. It's probably my favorite pokemon of all time. I'm obsessed with the magikarp to gyarados evolution lore. It's so personally meaningful.

About an year ago I got into pokemon reborn/pokemon rejuvenation. Haven't played them in a while, but they really blew me away. They provide everything a mainline pokemon game cannot. Highly recommend ;)

@RendHeaven gen 5 music is amazing. There are a few relaxing themes from gen 4 I like. Gyarados could probably be added to a rain team with Milotic. The flying type kind of confuses me on Gyarados. You probably enjoy the convenient evolution timing with Gyarados. This is like when James kicked the magikarp and called it useless only to evolve at that second, it is a common joke. Perhaps there is a deeper story that could be made around this evolution line. When everybody thinks your pathetic and worthless, you never stop struggling until you prove your true potential which comes from always believing in yourself no matter what odds are stacked against you.

I never played reborn or rejuvenation, and I might check it out. In the meantime here is some music.

This is an interesting on. It is nice and peaceful until 1:10-1:16. The end of this song has the creepy ringing sound from the old chateau and it always bothered me in this otherwise relaxing theme. You can find that same ringing noise at the start of the old chateau theme.

Other nice themes are like eterna forest, the early routes are playful, jubilife city is relaxing, and of course the starting town in many different games are fun. I like a lot to them.

I love gen 5 music and there are a ton of themes I might not mention.

This last one is simple, peaceful, and almost makes me want to cry. It speaks to my heart somehow.

There are a ton of other themes from gen 5 I like. I could not name them all.

Right. Exactly. The gyarados is already within every magikarp. But only the those that believe strong enough will ever realize this.

I prefer pokemon rejuvenation, but it's still incomplete. Despite having 100+ hours of content, there will come a point where you're just waiting for the next update. Here's the download page: https://www.rejuvenationgame.com/downloads

Pokemon reborn is the grandfather of fangames. It's been in development for a decade. The final iteration just released literally today lol. It's finally a full game. Although it's not as good as rejuvenation for me, it's really up there as one of the best pokemon experiences possible. Download page: https://www.rebornevo.com/pr/download/

Too many to name them all.

But the peak gaming experience was the first few weeks of playing WOW. It was like a magical feeling that was beyond anything I ever experienced in gaming.

Halo 3, Gears 1, COD 4/MW2 were all staples of my childhood and teen years.

You ever try out chrono trigger? I imagine you have played gen 1 pokemon as well. I found EB an odd game compared to pokemon. Wish I would have went a bit further in it though. That era produced a lot of great RPGS. I really liked FF3 as well. 

Cool game you have on steam!

Those gen 2 pokemon carts had terrible batteries lol. I don't think I ever played much of gen 2 due to that. I have resold a lot of carts and most of those had a bad battery or didn't work. 

Gen 3 was so amazing. For me gen 3 was some of the best games ever for an rpg. I replayed those multiple times and always had a good time. 

Gen 1 is worth a visit if you never tried it as well.

Rs was one of those games where the grind never stopped. I ran bots to level my character and was gifted the account at level 100 and it never seemed to be enough. 

Was surprising how good a game they built. Someone could spend life times there if they wanted. 

The pre-EOC days were amazing. I think like 10 years ago now lol.
