You don't like Star Wars much do you?

Pfft, that's nothing.

My top five (in no particular order (get ready for nostalgia and old games)):

1. Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind. An RPG that doesn't hold your hand with lit-up pathways and quest arrows, just directions in your journal and a fond smack on the bum to get you going. When you start the game, you have nothing. You ARE nothing. Over the course of the game you claw your way upward, inching your way forward in a hostile, uncaring world. But with hard work and dedication, the second half of the game becomes you walking around being an epic badass, solving the world's problems one group of bandits or blighted monsters at a time. There's nothing like it these days and it's just damn good.

2. The original Unreal Championship. Fast-paced FPS with solid game modes and great level design. Boasting an impressive array of varied characters and weapons, each with different strengths and weaknesses, it offers intense action against an AI that dominates with brutal efficiency if you give it an inch. Pick your team, and fight your way to the top.

3. Banjo-Kazooie. The good old adventure platformer from Rare's golden years. Impeccable world design, excellent music direction and witty dialogue provides a family-friendly experience that can still cater to more mature senses of humor (but if it doesn't quite tickle you, there's always Conker's Bad Fur-Day). The collectibles are hidden just well enough to require you you pay attention, but not well enough to frustrate the short-tempered. Just, fantastic.

4. Dark Souls. I could talk for hours about this game, so I'll just distill this down to the basics. I adore the combat that demands your attention, the interconnected open world design, the infinite depth and complexity of the narrative, and the profound sense of being utterly alone in a decaying world of death and madness. You are left to scrape together the pieces on your own in a once-mighty world. There's very little exposition, cutscenes often have zero dialogue, and the closest thing to a real antagonist is, to quote Zero Punctuation, the inevitable entropic decay of the universe. It's basically been the last year of my life, and I continually find new reasons to keep playing it.

5. Guild Wars, a team-focused MMO where the max level is 20 and the enemies can go up to 40. Your success relies on your ability to adapt to and counter the enemy's strengths, which vary from area to area. Each time you enter a zone or start a mission, you get your party's own private copy of the map, which means no one's going to come to save you. You have to make do with what you bring along. It's getting pretty old these days, so there aren't always too many people to group up with, but fully customizable Hero NPCs let you keep fighting when no one else will help you, though the AI presents its own challenges. Managing a team of Heroes can be like herding a particularly dim flock of sheep, but properly equipping your group, micro-managing and awareness of the combat situation will leave you virtually untouchable in the PvE. I can safely say I've enjoyed almost all of my nearly 7,000 hours in this game.

Red Dead Redemption, every other answer is wrong.

[Sev]

Well, since this mod is for SoaSE, i don't really need to include it.

Star Wars: Republic Commando is an old, yet still fun single player game which places you in command of a squad of elite soldiers (similar to Halo 5s campaign, actually). I particularly like it because of its difficulty, and the mix of strategy options (also the atmosphere was dark for a star wars game)

The Portal franchise (don't exactly need to say any more about it)

I've gotten Company of Heroes recently, and I love it. For an RTS game, the graphics are very powerful (comparable to a first-person game, actually), the unit mechanics are realistic, and overall the game is fun.

I am following Flagship now (which is in development), which looks promising. It aims to combine space RTS combat with the first person view.

[JasonAHawkins]

Unreal Tournament 2004

 

C&C: Generals with Zero Hour expansion

 

Warhammer 40k Dawn of War

 

Quake III Arena

 

Portal 1

[Whitehalomango]

Favourite games. One of the hardest debates, there are just too many good games out there.

 

For starters, I loved The Last of Us. It was a masterpiece. Along with Mass Effect and, like Sev said, CoH 1/2 are brilliant games. Just great strategy games with breathtaking graphics. I'm also a big fan of the Endless series, each game subtling linking to each other, mainly through one single planet. There is no way I can forget to mention FTL, Bastion and Transistor, three other brilliant indie gems. Then you have the fun Terraria, humours Portal and addictive Destiny.

 

Altogether, too many to chose from, so many brilliant games out there, both from indie teams and massive companies.

[SiRD31M0S]

Mass Effect

Burn me, but I liked ME3's ending.

The Star Wars RC lead designer is working at 343 so that might be why the two seem similar in certain aspects.

After the patch, I love it. Before, it left too many things open.

 

I would have to go with:

• Borderlands
• Medieval II: Total War, Total War: Rome II, Rome: Total War
• GoW
• SW BattleFront II
• Mount&Blade
• Viva Pinata
• Mass Effect
• Various Elder Scrolls
• Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, Age of Wonders
• StarCraft, Warcraft
• Lego: LotR (most accurate LotR game to date)
• And many more: Black and White, Dark Colony, Kingdom Under Fire, Dragon Age (relatively new to this), Heroes of Might and Magic (mainly V), and the list goes on...

I didn't appreciate being spoon-fed information I'd already been able to piece together for myself. I watched the videos of the extended cut on YouTube, but I never downloaded it. Fifteen minutes of dialogue during a period where the Crucible is about to be blown the fuck up by Reapers is stupid.

It's actually before of that, when the reaper hits you. You had no clue to what happened to your team, which is quite frustating.

That was good, I can't contest that. After that was poorly handled.

Man, how could I forget Pokemon. I'm happy to say that I used to love that shit and were it on PC, still would but I just can't be bothered to buy a 3DS just for Pokemon. I remember playing it back in the day when that was all I had. Damn they were good. I loved Soul SIlver, I mean, going to 2! different regions was awesome and it basically had two games in one. Man, even the original Yellow was great. Having Pikachu following you around was awesome. I nearly forgot the Pokemon Dungeon games or whatever they are called. They were great fun as well.
