What is the best game you have ever played?

McCloud1

As hard as it is to choose, I'm going to have to say Far Cry 3, but only because I am yet to play 4. My reasons are:

- Never had a game were you can be so bad !!! (the chain takedowns!)

- Gripping story

- Interesting, well developed characters (with good voice acting)

- A living, breathing world where a tiger might jump out of the bush and maul you to death before you can even react

- Ability to take a varied approach to most situations

Now I'm wondering why I'm at work rather than playing Far Cry ...damn bills and responsibilities.

Tricky one as there are so many "great" games, but this is about what for you was a best ever game.

For me, ummmm
Oblivion, though looking back some storylines were a bit rubbish tbh, but it was that immersion.

Skyrim......see above, but way more. Even addicted to fanfiction on this.

Assassins Creed, especially 2, that just seemed to be where it took off.

The Yakuza games. It's hard to say why, the graphics aren't the best, but the story is out of this world, and the setting, amazing!

The Last Of Us. Not as much as some liked it, but some parts were incredible and genuinely scary (no spoilers but a certain part involving a dark flooded basement full of predators). Plus the real acid test, an ending which had you thinking for days later, before finally "getting" it.
There was just so much in that game beyond the obvious. The settings, that building full of the discarded rotting detritus of everyday life, sound of the wind in the windows.....and realising the cliche of post apocalypse of dull grey isn't realistic, yes it's more likely to be just as beautiful as an autumn day now - just deserted. A lot of thought went into that game.

Far Cry 3, great game until the ending which was crud

On a side note, fair enough it's all personal opinion but I've never understood the love for Fallout 3. It's just so depressing

I thought the ending was awesome! I literally sat there for about 10 mins deciding whether to press the left or right trigger. haha

EverQuest

Holds a special place in my heart.

Also, Final Fantasy 7 & 10.

The good ol' days.

Can't choose just one.
Thief Series, Dishonored, Deus Ex, Minecraft, Far Cry 3 (not finished yet), Skyrim (still playing after over 200 hours), Fallout 3 (still playing), Battlefield Bad Company 2 multiplayer (still playing)

Edited original post a bit for more brevity.

Still not quite finished Far Cry 3 as I'm now playing Far Cry 4 which IMO is far ( ) better.
A much more likeable protagonist in Ajay Ghale, the bad guy Pagan Min is fabulous! Scenery and area is much more interesting along with gyrocopters and a grapple for scaling vertical cliffs. And.... rhinos.... :eek:

Halo 3!

I must've wasted weeks of my life on that when you add up my overall game time.

InvestInPoker

Too many to mention really but in no particular order

Manic Miner
Jet Set Willy
The Bards Tale
The Secret Of Monkey Island
The Secret Of Monkey Island 2
Flight Simulator (The "IBM compatible" one - it was great!)
Street Fighter 2
Super Mario Kart
Championship Manager 01/02
GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas

I think the best game overall for me would probably just be nudged by GTA San Andreas although CM 01/02 has more replay value overall.
