forgot the entire gta series, my bad :) but definitely vice city at the top even though the graphics are bleeergh. just the style, feeling, gameplay and music are incredible. love gta 2, too
i guess i can kinda put all rogue-likes/lites in there too and just in general card games, no matter what it is really. unfortunately i can only really focus on one and the rest gets played just very occasionally even though i like a lot of them. don't have the time, man
I spend more than 5.000 hours in this game and always play again after some time.
XD
My friends at the time accusing me of using some kind of cheat code when I show them all characters with 999HP (the max possible) without any equipament, what is acquired keeping down the lv to 1 in a weak job like chemist and raise again to 99 in a strong job like mime or ninja.

Yes, this take some time..
Haha, that's something only a true gamer would do! ;)
Civilization must be an all times favorite (if only for the time I devoted to that game (3221 hours on 5 only), played from the first one till the 5th, didn't like the 6th (probably didn't invest enough time to get hooked))
MMO probably were the love of my life not that much for the games themselves but the fun of joining friends in adventures. Some of those games even were really bad (Ultima Online, Everquest,...) but it was a new world for gamers. Wow probably brought the genre to its top and made me a real PvP player (before that, I sincerely did hate PKs but being able to choose when to go for the fight ( arenas whatever they were called at the time) changed my mind.
My first love definitely was RPG (you know the old D&D stuff. eek that was like 40 years ago). Waiting for the weekend when I could have all my friends together to play was so hard so being able to play every day on my computer was a wonder. First one was Stonekeep (Geez, just found out they still do sell it on steam for 9.99... A 1995 game? Really?). Top was the Witcher 3
Special Mentions: Dungeon Keeper and Black and White

Haha, the "level down trap" trick. I understand that sentiment; it was the only game where I wanted everything perfect (ie. max stats, mastering all jobs, collecting all items, etc).
If you looked at hours played, it would be World of Warcraft. But, I honestly don't enjoy the game much anymore. I tried classic recently, and there's a lot of ease-of-life changes that were implemented over the years that are missing from it - and while they've taken some things too far, classic definitely wasn't the high point of WoW's existence. There's no wonder why people say Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King were the best times in WoW - I think they were probably the perfect balance of positive changes without changing fundamentals too much.
If you look at genuine enjoyment though... still a super tough question. I started writing a list of honorable mentions, but got to about 20 - and was still in the early naughties.
I'm going to give 3 nods though:
* Super Metroid * Witcher 3 * Dark Souls
Super Metroid - I actually only completed this for the first time a few years ago. However, I do love retro games as a whole, and I can see why this type of game was a major contributor to a whole genre. Platforming, action, adventure, solid combat, and just a really great experience overall.
Witcher 3 - solid gameplay, excellent story, loads to do in the open world, and plenty of stuff to chase. Just a complete package of a game, and without even knowing much about the Cyberpunk universe, Projekt Red have instilled enough confidence in me via their treatment of the Witcher 3 game that I'll be buying it no questions asked. Also, somehow Gwent managed to be a more enjoyable card minigame than Triple Triad from FF8, which is crazy.
Dark Souls - I literally only completed this for the first time two days ago, though I had been playing it on and off for the last year - mainly spurned on from the recommendations of others. I'll note that the reason it took me so long wasn't due to lack of enjoyment - rather, I can be a bit OCD about where I finish a session, and I always felt like I needed to set aside a good amount of time for a Dark Souls session in case things went awry. Anyway, the combat system was great, and I really enjoy the difficulty and trial and error mentalities. Like, losing all your souls and humanity when you double-die can be a huge setback - but it provides a real spark of intensity. Being able to get killed by 2-3 poorly defended attacks from a powerful enemy is insane, and adds some major intensity. I guess that's what I'm getting at - the level of difficulty it can present at times creates a level of intensity within the game that many other 'friendlier' games don't get close to matching.

Watching my little brother playing Dark Souls still gives me nightmares! XD
my favorite game of all time is inFamous 1. Amazing story, entertaining gameplay and very cool powers.
Never played it, but watched some gameplay. Yeah, looks cool! :)
thanks! you gotta know how the story ends tho, if you are interested.
Yeah, of course! You can tell me if you want! :)
well it wouldn't be as impactful as playing the game and getting the hints for the story but, then I guess I would suggest you to watch the ending cutscene.
a reminder or some quick little info about the story upto the final cutscene: The protagonist is Cole MacGrath, and he was just a bike delivery guy. One day, he recieves a package (which is some kind of a science fic bomb), it blows up during delivery, killing many people but for some people who have the potential, it gives them, activates their superpower. Basically the whole game revolves around surviving, helping people or not (your choice), and trying to find out who sent that package (called ray sphere) and why. The antagonist is a misterious man named Kessler, and he goes as far as killing Cole's girlfriend (no matter what you do and choose in that mission, she gets killed, its like Kessler knows what would Cole do [hint :) ]). Some characters that are mentioned in the video below are: Zeke is Cole's best friend and Trish was Cole's girlfriend.
I hope that info is enough to catch at least a bit of the story.. :)
Honestly, Battleforge..not a widely known game but it was soooo good at the time. I just loved the concept of a rts game mixed with tcg elements, the art, the music, the animations, the environments were all top notch. Sadly EA got rid of it after a few beautiful years.

Favorite .IO games: Wormate io, Little Big Snake
Friv 2 Friv2020
Hollow Knight and Outer Wilds. Both are awesome experiences to play.
Holy shit! Black and White? I want to play that game again, awesome stuff! :)
Yeah, of course! You can tell me if you want! :)
I love hardcore gamers, used to be one a long time ago! :P
Watching my little brother playing Dark Souls still gives me nightmares! XD
It's all on you, man, you made me do that list of games and brought so many memories back to live. Thx BTW so Feel Free ;-)
I didn't expect someone to mention Little Big Snake here. Interesting choice! :)
Never played Hollow Knight, but watched some gameplay on Youtube too. Looks pretty good to be honest! :)
Wow! Thank you so much! Oh, and you're welcome! :)
