You know, I find that the best games are the ones we grew up on. Some of the first games we ever got or played really were the ones that impacted us the most. At least, thats what happened to me. Am I wrong?

Like, I guess how many of you have one of your first games ever played in your top 3?

This. Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World is the game I remember playing the most ever since I can remember... and it's still my favorite game ever out of all the games I've played.

Re: Top 3 Video Games EVAR

I definitely wouldn't say my first game was my favourite, but I did grow up playing Ocarina of Time. Although I wouldn't say I placed it as my favourite because of nostalgia. I've played it over so many times throughout the years there really isn't that much of a nostalgia factor anymore. Although I just started a Wind Waker file today, and that definitely had a lot of nostalgia.

I think people who say they enjoyed the nes system are masochists or trying too hard to sound cool. 95% of the games that were on there were hard as balls (and if you're of age to play them, you'd be really young), and the other 5% were jap titles we didn't get.

LoZ, FF, DQ, and Duck Tales are the only ones I can remember legitimately enjoying, and not just playing because goddamn it how dare you make me die over and over again fuck you mega man!!!

Re: Top 3 Video Games EVAR

But see, I grew up with NES, and I loved the hard games. Call it masochistic, but I liked losing at games as long as I was doing better than the last time. It felt like actual progress once you got even a little bit farther sometimes, and beating a game was a real accomplishment. Also back in the NES days we considered the real standard of difficulty to be "Arcade-Hard" whereas now most people consider "NES-Hard" to be the ultimate standard.

For those unfamiliar with the arcade era, most arcade games were not even beatable -- the best you could do was get farther or get a higher score. And most times if there existed both a console game and an arcade game, the arcade game would be considerably harder.

Re: Top 3 Video Games EVAR

There's good hard and bad hard. The NES had a lot of games where you could do the same thing every time and get different results, that were just retry bait for no reason.

Endless modes are love though.

I have SM64 in there (that was my first console game hehu) but I really do think it was a masterpiece of level design and game mechanics, even more so considering when it was made.

That just means a hard game is one you're more likely to enjoy, though. Fair enough, everyone likes particular types of games. But just because a game is hard doesn't make it one of the best ever. Even the simplest, most boring ideas can be given a scoring system and difficulty curve and they suddenly become as hard as you want them to be - and while that might be fun (even REALLY fun, I mean, I absolutely loved the Game & Watch Gallery series on the gameboys) you need a lot more than that to push the game into the "best ever" category.

Incidentally, there are a LOT of extremely hard video games released after NES In fact, there are so many super-hard indie platformer games for PC, it's practically its own genre. And that's not even counting extreme logic games or bullet hell.

If we could make a top 10 or even 5 I definitely would mention it. It was very difficult to only choose 3 cause I feel I left out really good ones I like... including this one. It would probably place #5 after the Donkey Kong Country games for me.
