Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.

Half-Life 2, Max Payne 2 and Mass Effect because I‘ve been an impressionable teenager and a nitpicking adult.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Today:

  • Super mario world
  • Shadowrun Dragonfall
  • Mechwarrior 4 mercenaries
[–] QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Of all time is a hard one. I guess I'll go by most play hours. So in no particular order, WoW, Stellaris, and Warframe.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Mostly based off hours played: EU4, Borderlands 2, Bioshock.

I excluded League of Legends even though I probably have the second most hours in that. Toxic as shit and I'm glad I gave it up.

Read everyone else's picks and Tales of Phantasia is one RPG I've gone back to countless times. Might be the only one where I can come back to it months later and pick right back up where I left off. I know it that well.

  1. Singaporean Bridge - It's basically a crossover of Bridge and Werewolf / Polar Bear / Among Us. That small change of not knowing who your partner is from the start makes for games that are way more fun.
  2. Pokemon Soulsilver - I love the following mechanic. The other features of the game are really great too.
  3. Raze 2 - I have seen others describe it as the "Halo of flash games". Personally, I had a blast playing it. Also, Waterflame's soundtracks are the GOAT.

Of all time?

Galaxian - I have an antique table top arcade version my aunt gave me about 20ish years ago that I enjoy.

Civilization - Hot seat multiplayer was awesome. Pikeman as active borders for your country.

Doom - Soundtrack alone is worth the experience

  1. Cyberpunk 2077, just by hours played and number of replays.

  2. The Horizon games. I just adore the world and Aloy.

  3. Great Gianna Sisters for hours played and the music.

I also loved the Portal games, they might be a contender for third place.

Final Fantasy VII Kingdom Hearts II (or BBS depending on the day of the week) Persona 4 Golden

To be honest these three could be different any day of the week. I play more than just RPGs but because these are heavily story driven they stick in the front of my mind more when it comes to these questions.

[–] wraithcoop@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

It's hard as there's a lot of different games that I like for different reasons, but if I had to narrow it down it'd probably be:

  • Minecraft
  • Mirror's Edge
  • Dragon's Dogma
[–] goombakid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
  1. Horizon: Zero Dawn
  2. Ghost of Tsushima
  3. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Going by time played it's probably something like:

  • WoW
  • Rocket league
  • Tony Hawk
[–] RevolverSly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Dota 2

Starcraft: Brood War

Vagrant Story

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your title says "What are in you are top 3 favourite games of all time".

You were thinking of "your", which is possessive. "You're" is a contraction of "you" and "are"; the apostrophe is a hint there.

Beat Off The Wiener was a game I enjoyed as a youth as well.

Gameboy Tetris, Galaga on the Amiga, ZX Spectrum Atic Atac.

  1. Europa Universalis IV
