Current Events > Post ten games that mean a lot to you

(+) Yeah! (+)

Basically a top 10. Doesn't have to be about what it did for the industry or how amazing critically it was. Just 10 good ass videogames.

10. Paper Mario. One of the first RPGs I ever played. The writing, characters, and world were fucking amazing. I still love it.

9. Final Fantasy 4. I dont know what it is but of all the Final Fantasys, this one blew my mind.

8. Super Mario World. What needs to be said? This game is fucking amazing.

7. Banjo Kazooie. This platformer got its teeth into me as a kid. Great music. Good gameplay.

6. Spyro 1 or 3. Game I played as a kid that I fucking loved and still love. The skateboarding mini game is awesome.

5. Super Smash Bros. I don't know which one to pick. So many memories attached to each one. CLOUD IS IN FUCKING SMASH BROS

4. Kingdom Hearts 2. Blew my teenage mind seeing Disney characters and anime characters combined. Many feels

3. Persona 4 Arena. Got me into the Persona series and one of the best fighting games ever made.

2. Kirby Air Ride. People don't know how godlike this game is

1. Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. GOAT GAMES BOYS

Not in any particular order. Wind Waker is another game I love a lot but I said 10.

Golden Sun, the first RPG game I've played

Pokemon Blue, the first game that really made me start to game heavily

FFX, my first final fantasy

Radiata Stories, my favorite game on the PS2

FFIV (US II), an amazing game and really made me see how intense chiptunes could be

TES IV Oblivion, played at least 700 hours and it changed how I look at character builds forever

FFXIV, my most played game of all time

COD4MW, my first shooter even with its awful net code (that slipped into the HD remaster, even)

Persona 3 FES, such a beautiful game

Tetris, the game that really is the best example of how something so simple can be so deep

Counter-Strike, both the original one and GO.
Started playing back in 2000, spent years playing it on LAN, making friends etc. Still play GO up until this day. CS basically kept me in touch with a lot of people I don't see IRL anymore.

Warcraft 3
Also played a lot of it back in the day and on LAN, especially the custom maps.

Dota and Dota 2
Played it since the original one released got into it through wc3 obviously. Stopped playing in early 2015, it just doesn't feel the game I loved anymore.

Football Manager series
Been playing since early 2000s, single-player games I invested most time into, by far.

ISS/PES series
Me and my friends always preferred it to FIFA, although it's turned to garbage over the past years.

Final Fantasy XII
The only single player game I've beaten more than three times. Perfect combat system if you ask me.

The Witcher 3
By far the best single-player experience I've had in 2010s.

MGS games
My favorite single player games up until Kojima ruined them. 4 was average, V is complete garbage.
2 is my favorite if I have to chose one.

God of War games
My second favorite single player series. 2 being the favorite.

Gran Turismo games
Spent a lot of hours playing those, even bought g27 for GT5.

WoW
Played a lot for a year and a half, during prime TBC years. Not interested in it these days.


That's 11, but I couldn't leave anything out.

I dunno if I have ten that mean "a lot" to me, so I'll just list a handful of really good ones.

EarthBound - Originally played it back when I still had one of my childhood cats. I will forever associate Smiles and Tears with saying farewell to my childhood because of said cat.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Never expected a fucking Pokemon spinoff game of all things to have such a good story that I got kinda misty-eyed at the end, but it did and now it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors - Just a really damn good story all around, so good that I held the sequels up to an impossibly high standard which, in my opinion at least, they didn't come close to meeting.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - It's the first Fire Emblem game I ever beat (only on Normal mode, sadly), and is what motivated me to really get into other entries in the series. I have since completed Sacred Stones Eirika route and most of Ephraim route on Difficult mode, and I have also started Genealogy of the Holy War and Blazing Blade.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends - This game is comfort food to me, as far as gaming is concerned. I can always count on this game whenever I just want to cut down entire armies all on my own, and it will never stop being fun to me.
