What are your favorite video games?

[PureSlime]

I am an unashamed fan of Donkey Kong 64.

[Jaxxoon R]

It's not like DK64 is a bad game or worth being ashamed of, but alright.

[PureSlime]

I guess its because people often compare it to Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie as being worse than those games (which I can agree to).

[ETTiNGRiNDER]

Off the top of my head, for PC games and judging "favorite" as games that I still replay/revisit/mod every now and again:

Heretic, Hexen, Hexen II, Quake, Quake II, Witchaven, Witchaven II, Catacomb 3D/Catacomb A* trilogy, Master of Orion, Master of Orion II, Master of Magic, Disciples: Sacred Lands, Warcraft II, Severance - Blade of Darkness (AKA Blade - Edge of Darkness). Probably Duke Nukem 3D as well; I tend to find it hard to get back into when I first go back to it but fun once things are rolling.

Honorable mentions to the Commander Keen series, Rise of the Triad and Might & Magic II for the amount of time I sunk into them back in the day but I haven't bothered with them much recently.

I think I'm the only one who preferred Mario64 over all 3 of the others, but all are great games. The speed and super tight control of M64 (and Sunshine) have kept them at the top of my 3D platformer list.

[Tritnew]

Conker's Bad Fur Day would like a word with you.

[Mithral_Demon]

I think I answered this in a thread before, but whatever. I'll list via Console era/platform.

SNES/SFC:

Spoiler

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Mario World
Star Fox
Sim Earth

PS1:

Spoiler

Crash Team Racing
Spyro 1-3 .. Hey, kinda can't separate em.
Future Cop LAPD (I know this has a PC port, but I prefer PS1)
Builder's Block.. It was.. interesting, like tetris but instead of blocks just disappearing, you out build your opponent and then "send the buildings away" to cause hell for the opponent.

N64:

Spoiler

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (I could say OoT but... I preferred MM, and have both for 3DS)
Star fox 64
Doom 64
Mario 64
Perfect Dark 64
Donkey Kong 64
Super Smash Bros

... Okay maybe I could remove the 64 because it's obvious.

Ps2:

Spoiler

Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2
Champions of Norrath

Gamecube:

Spoiler

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Dont get me wrong, I loved Wind Waker, but TP got.. a story, and travelling isnt so boring.
Star fox Assault
Mario Kart Double Dash

Wii:

Spoiler

eh... Mario Kart Wii. Only things I really played, even though I have Smash for it..

Pc:

Spoiler

Doom
Black and White 2
Dungeon Keeper 2
Terraria
Borderlands 1/2
Minecraft
Starcraft 1/2, Warcraft 3.

[DoomzRules]

Doom

Doom II

Doom 64

Half-Life 1 and it's expansion packs (don't get me wrong I like Half-Life 2... but it felt lackluster in terms of enemy variety IMHO.)

Black Mesa

A Link to the Past

Ocarina of Time

Majora's Mask

Twilight Princess

A Link Between Worlds

Mario 64 DS

Mario Galaxy 1 & 2

Super Mario Bros. 3 (remake and original)

Super Mario World

Sonic Adventure series

Sonic CD

Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles

Metroid Prime

Super Metroid

Marathon Durandal

The whole Diablo franchise

Quake 1

The whole Halo series

Minecraft

Borderlands 1 (I disliked the second one, there wasn't enough gore IMHO.)

Devil May Cry 1, 2, 3, and 4.... (I disliked the reboot)

Banjo-Kazooie series (except NUTS AND BOLTS! THAT'S A HORRIBLE GAME AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!)

Mario Kart series

Diddly Kong Racing

Any RARE game (pre-Microsoft mind you)

The Wolfenstein series obviously

Black Ops 1 was pretty good, though my personal favorite will always be COD4.

PSX Doom is a no-brainer.

Does Brutal Doom + the starter pack count? Because if it does, then I'm going to include that as well for revitalizing Doom with a shit ton of blood and gore. Haters gonna hate, but I think Brutal Doom's pretty cool despite all the hate it gets IMHO.

Demonsteele

Anything TerminusEst13 makes

Anything wildweasel makes

umm.....

Elder Scrolls is an awesome series.

Fallout I'm kinda meh on. :P

Hellraid looked pretty cool but IDK if that's coming out. (It's basically a first-person Diablo! :D)

SiN was pretty good.

Blood was amazing.

Duke Nukem 3D was the best Duke Nukem game IMHO

Shadow Warrior franchise is pretty kickass.

Rise of the Triad remake and the original are pretty awesome as well.

Serious Sam is still great.... even though I haven't played it in years lol. I grew up with it.

Painkiller's good.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja

Super Smash Bros. franchise

Earthbound franchise.... MOTHER 3 COME OUT IN THE USA ALREADY!!!!

Star Fox franchise

(basically anything Nintendo, Capcom, Sega, etc.etc.etc.)

I could go on, but this list would take up 9,001 pages. (Anyone see what I did there? :D)

So yeah.... :P

:3

P.S My favorite 3D platformer of all-time is definitely Mario Galaxy 2. That's a great Mario game and probably one of the best platformers besides Mario 64 DS.

Oh and lastly....

P.P.S

I LOVE THE HELL OUT OF XENOBLADE CHRONICLES! FUCK YEAH!

Haven't tried out X yet, but the original is fucking kickass!

I recommend it man! RECOMMEND IT!

=D

[BigDickBzzrak]

Spoiler

Yeah, Conker is a fun game with a unique charm. It's awesome to see vulgar humor in what looks like an innocent n64 game on it's surface. Still, far as strictly gameplay is concerned, I think Mario 64 is more fun to play for longer amounts of time. I'm probably in the minority with that, but oh well.

[durian]

Aside from the obvious...

Elite, Keen 4-6, the Mario Kart and Smash Bros series (excepting their Wii iterations), Splatoon. But while I love all of these games, and plenty more besides, nothing comes close to Doom in terms of its significance for me.

Nah I 100% agree with you there. Mario 64 is hands-down the best 3D platformer... I mean it did lay the groundwork for future 3D platformers.

But to be honest, it's kinda a tie between Mario 64 and Galaxy 2 for me. :P
