people have favorite games, and even preferred games, but what games do you have that hold a special place in your heart? what games do you truly have an emotional connetion to? what games do you always think about? lets hear it
legend of dragoon:
for me this was more than just a game. i fell in love with it. i thuoght about the game all the time, i even had a crush on one of the characters. i've had dreams about being in the game, or said character hanging out with me in real life. nothing can dethrone this game in my heart as my favorite game ever. the characters, music, enemies, combat system, everything is all amazing. after playing final fantasy 7 i realised the game is very derivative, but still. if a sequel came out i would pay $100 day 1 to play it. (great, i sound obsessed and loony)
Diablo 2: lord of destruction
another fantastic game. the online sucked many many hours of my life into it. i dont have as great things to say about this, but it's one of few games that i became addicted to and actually had cravings to play, lol. it was also incredibly fun and even moreso satisfying.
Metal Gear Solid:
i played this game when i was really young. WAY before i was mature enough (probably not even old enough for T games) but i thought it was excellent. i beat the entire first disc (i didnt have access to the second) but the mature themes of the game really resonated with me. at the time i had no other experience like it. i have memories playing this game that i still to this day treasure. sadly, it has aged terribly. incredibly easy nowadays. note: best boss theme in a game ever, bar none
pokemon gold/silver:
my childhood was devoted to the ways of pokemon. simple as that. these were my favorite of the series. best mix of classic nostalgia and playability. after these games, it got too complex with EV training and pokemon natures. before this game, it was too hard because of the unpolished nature of the game. this is pokemon perfected. plus, this game had the best soundtrack (its almost blasphemy to say that)
megaman battle network 3 white:
late pre-teen years were spend at a summer camp, and me and my close buddies there were all real into zoids, pokemon, and megaman. we often LARP'd them. they convinced me to buy this game, and i instantly fell in love with it. partly because of the music. we always talked about megaman, and we all slept over at someone's house and played megaman all night.
Basically, my childhood and growing up years wouldn't have been the same without these games. what games have had an actual impact on your life in some way or another?
honorable mentions:
silent hill 2
metal gear solid 2
shadow of the colossus
spyro 2/3
dragon age origins
monster hunter freedom
i'll explain some of the honorables if you want, but ill do it later since my roommate is sleeping and my keyboard is loud and he says keyboard noises keep him awake
