Five Of My All Time Favorite Games (For Now) 

The bit about your dad sharing your experience really resonated with me. I was raised by my grandparents. My grandpa was always super enthusiastic to take me out fishing. I found fishing to be somewhat boring. But over the years, I heard more and more stories from my grandpa relating to fishing. For context my grandpa had a pretty rough childhood. His dad (my great grandpa) beat him. However, my grandpa always lit up while reveling in the stories about fishing with his dad. He said that the only time he ever saw his dad laughing and having fun was while they were fishing together. Although I found fishing to be somewhat boring, it made me all the more appreciative to go fishing with my grandpa knowing how much it meant to him. I would give anything to go fishing with him one more time.

1.Metal Gear Solid 3 2.Bloodborne 3.Silent Hill 2 4.Planescape: Torment 5.Dragon Age: Origins

Oh man, what a coincidence. I recently finished Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, never coming across it until recently, but despite it being almost 20 years old, I loved every bit of it! It seems to have so much soul/personality, I don't know what to call it, but it definetely gave me something that newer games never do (except maybe for Disco Elysium).

DOS 2 is truly a masterpiece and I’m really happy to see that larian studios are the ones making BG 3 they are truly putting their all into it and so far the early access is excellent and it’s shaping up to be a genre defining masterpiece.

Hearing your story about your dad really speaks to me because that is how my dad and I spent a lot of time together. It was Dino Crisis for us. Dino Crisis Final fantasy 8 Pokemon Blue Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 Pillars of Eternity 2 The first three were a large part of my youth. The last two were just fun.

My top 5 : Baldurs Gate 2, Fallout 2, Under rail, Divinity Original Sin 2 and Dragon Age Origins

I love Heroes of Might&Magic 3. Spent years playing it and then Gothic 1&2, Sabnautica, C&C 3 Tibeium Wars. These are 5 games I replay almost every year.

I'm an older gamer (42 years old), so some of my favorite games may be games not a lot of people will know off the bat, unless they grew up knowing them or having them recommended to them. My list is in no particular order: 1) Lunar Silver Star Story Complete - This was the first JRPG game I remember playing, back on the PS1, that had voice acting and anime style cinematics. It's also a lengthy game, more so for being from the PS1 era. Fantastic characters, missions and story. It's a rare and expensive game if you are looking to find a physical copy, and one that can be played still on PS1 or a BC PS3 (which thankfully I still own, and it works!!) 2) Suikoden II - This game is one of the best games of all time, for many of my friends, and other people that I see on YT, Twitter, Twitch etc. It just does everything *right*, I cannot think of one negative thing about this game. When I turned 35, I made it a goal to try and get all of the Suikoden games in physical format, thankfully the only one that eludes me is the first game. But I have the guides for it, and the artwork and characters hold up even to this day! 3) Stardew Valley - You might be thinking... really? Yes really. This game, along with No Man's Sky, came out during a difficult time in my life, and both games saved me from a very deep depression and other medical stuff going on. I enjoyed this game so much, it's my most played game with over 4k hours logged across Steam, Xbox and PS. I never played a Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons game, Stardew Valley was my first introduction to the farming sim. And it's opened my eyes to so many other great games in that genre. 4) WarCraft 3 (Battlechest edition) - I love RTS games, and WC3 was my first introduction to t hem. Loved the story and lore the game provided so much, and this was a time when the internet was in it's infancy so information was very hard to come by. The fantasy aspect and various races in the game helped introduce me to some of my other favorite games: StarCraft, EverQuest, Spellforce, and Disciples. None of which would have been possible without WC3. 5) The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Some of you are probably groaning right now lol, and that's fine. This game is just the most perfect example of a fantasy RPG. For all it's flaws (looking at you Roach doing crazy things), it gets everything right: Story, quests, side quests, crafting, skills etc. It also has, what I consider to be the GREATEST DLC Expansion of all time; Blood & Wine. I know the combat was a big issue for many gamers, as well as the sheer size of the game itself. But it's a game that I go back and replay every Dec, just to get lost in the world again. 5) Yes my 5th would be a tie, and that tie would be the amazingly underrated Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Amazing game, combat, vocations, and Bitterblack Isle is a great piece of endgame content. Honorable Mentions: Baldur's Gate 2 (introduced me to my favorite fantasy / fictional character of all time, Drizzt), Dragon Age Origins, Knights of the Old Republic, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and Raft.

Regarding RPG's, or similar games, my top five would probably be Planescape: Torment Arcanum Vampire: Bloodlines Deus Ex Disco Elysium Way too hard to make a top 5 across all genres.

Mort that last one really hit home, i didnt get to do that with my dad. But my friend and i would play zelda on the N64 with his dad, and there is something about having a parent play a game with you. Chatting about it over dinner, coming up with ideas. Thats a cool thing to have, ive always been envious of that. My dad and i never found a thing to bond over like that

The ending of this video was so wholesome and I’m glad you got to share that experience with your dad. For me, it was Final Fantasy IX that my dad and I experienced together. Also, Divinity Original Sin 2 is an absolute classic and one that I’d say is firmly planted in my top five as well.

Favourite setting: Arcanum - A classic high fantasy world going through an industrial revolution. Favourite combat system: Mount & Blade Warband - The only game I have dedicated hundreds of hours into mastering combat, specifically melee combat. Favourite story: Planescape Torment - I will never consider amnesia to be a overused trope. Uncovering the Nameless One's past was extremely enjoyable. Favourite character building: Path of Exile - A massive skill tree with skill trees inside skill trees and awesome unique items/support gems that completely change how a skill functions.

The thing I liked about FF 12 (though I never did finish it), was how it was pretty much the plot, and cast for Star Wars: A New Hope. It starts in a desert town, with a random, blonde headed teenager, with dreams of being a pilot. He get's swept up in larger events, when a wizened old mentor with personal ties to the Evil Lancer shows up and draws him into the conflict. There is a princess on the run who needs their help. There is a smuggler with a really fast ship, AND a really tall furry companion/copilot. The Evil Lancer character ends up having a surprise plot twist background, linked to the main cast, though slightly differently. It was the most instantly understandable story in an FF game I'd ever played. It was grounded, straightforward, and not overly insane with bizarre shit that seems to bloat all jrpgs.

Divinity original sin 2 made me fall in love with this style of rpg games. I always thought they were boring but divinity HOOKED me

I would also add Gothic 2 for my personal list. All time favourite rpg up until today, still playing, cannot get bored of it. One of the most immersive ones along bloodlines. Also I am sure now that everyone in this channel is a man of culture!

Mine would be in no particular order. 1. Prince of Persia Warrior Within 2. Fallout 3 3. Assassins Creed Revelations 4. Elder Scrolls Skyrim(modded) 5. Divinity OS 1 These games helped me through some dark periods in my life.

Man I have been playing final fantasy since the first one, and XII is my absolute favorite, and it always crushes me that it's so thoroughly dogged on by fans

My dad moment was when he was playing resident evil 1. I was like 9 or 10 that time and he would wake me up in the middle of night then he would ask me to watch him play. I knew he was just scared to play alone lol, but it was nice when he would ask me what I think about the puzzle or what he should do. Fun times. We started to grow apart when I was getting older and 5 years ago he was diagnosed with liver failure. Fortunately he had his transplant recently and it was a success. First time we spoke again after all this years was about him playing RE1.

My top 5, taking into account emotional attachments instead of just raw gameplay: 1. Geneforge 1- Just my favorite game of all time. Almost everything about it feels like it was made specifically for me and to my interests 2. Warcraft 3- One of my first real strategy games, and one I have a lot of fond memories of. Both of the main campaign and the Bnet. The many player made maps were always great 3. Neverwinter Nights 2- Not a good game, it really isn't. But it was my first RPG, and it's what got me into the genre(and role playing in general) in the first place 4. Overlord 2- Also, from an objective point of view, not a great game. But I love it(and the first one) to death anyway. I like the humor, I like the gameplay, and the concept is both stupid and fun. 5. Battleon/Adventurequest- An old flash game that is only on here for one reason. It's because of this game, and its forums, that I met my best friends. The people who have been my friends for more than ten years.

I love FF12 as well. I bought it for both the PC and the SWitch. The combat is a nice way to kill time for sure and as someone who played alot of MMORPG's it felt natural to me. also like the story and that you can switch your class to your liking.

Great list. My own top 5: 1. Planescape Torment 2. Witcher 3 3. Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteouss 4. Gothic II 5. Nier Automata

My list would probably be: 1. The Witcher 3 2. The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion 3. Baldur's Gate 2 4. Fallout: New Vegas 5. Divinity Original Sin 2 (Bonus contenders; Vampire the Masquerade:Bloodlines, Skyrim, Torchlight, Neverwinter Nights)

That was such a heartwarming story about you and your father. I hope my son and I can have memories like those. My dad was an engineer and was big into PCs and other tech so he set up DOS for me and would print out cheat codes and stuff when I was real little, but for some reason he never really played games. Think Doom was the only game I ever saw him play and he was just amazed that you could play online. My mom, I don't think she even knew how to use a computer. lol When she passed I lost her, my fiance, my faith and about 90% of my friends with it. I had just started Planescape and being able to get lost in that whole setting really carried me through that mess. I don't believe in an afterlife but if there is one I can only hope it is as interesting and crazy as Planescape 😂 I also like to imagine my mom wondering around the Players Maze like a John Travolta meme and it brings a smile to my face. I don't think I could make a top 5 but I know Planescape and FF7 would be the only ones I could put on one without any doubts.

1) Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Yes, I know objectively Wrath does pretty much everything better. But Kingmaker is simply more enjoyable to me. I prefer the tone, the freedom, and the scope of choices you're allowed to make. Including the fact you can nope out of the entire last chapter and not lose your Kingdom. 2) Championship Manager 01/02: The CM/FM series is a series I've had one of the longest continuing attachments to in my life. But it started in earnest there. And I played this game literally until the disc cracked. And that was despite the fact it was not sold directly in the US, so I would have to import it, paying for it in English Pounds. But I played just about every league in global football through that game. From the depth of English lower leagues to Brazil. And it was a game you could fly through the seasons with in a way you can't today. 3) Europa Universalis II: I played the original and liked it. But the 2nd is where my love for Grand Strategy Games truly kicked off. I'm a history geek. So this played right in. I also used to write novel-length AARs of my playthroughs on their website. My best run was taking 1 province Geldre, recreating the Netherlands, and then ensuring the Dutch Empire replaced England's as the global superpower in the colonial age. All while repeatedly rapping France and Germany on the nose. 4) Baldur's Gate. What more need be said about the 1st CRPG I ever played. 5) Civilization 2: Still, to my mind, the best game in the franchise. Most freedom. Most strategy. Again, history geek's perfect playground. The later versions of the game have lost that wonder, imho.

FF12 was one of my very first games and I loved it so much. Unfortunately the remake didn't catch me like it used to

Wow was not expecting FFXII. I think it’s gotta be one of the most underrated games ever. Absolutely incredible game.

Mine in no particular order would be: Knights of the Old Republic 2 Dragon Age: Origins Divinity: Original Sin 2 Witcher 3 Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (Yeap I’m claiming all three as one now cos I can 😂)

The reason for your #1 choice brought tears to my eyes. I am super close with my father and this was such a heartwarming story to hear from you. Thank you

Great post! My top 6 (showing my age here, and I'm going to "cheat" by lumping some games together...): (1) Ultima 3 (my 1st CRPG, played on a Commodore 64) (2) Forgotten Realms SSI "Gold Box" series (Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, Pools of Darkness) (3) Everquest (over a *year* of played time on my main, nuff said) (4) Doom (the original, 1993. Completely ground breaking. The granddaddy of all FPS games.) (5) Baldur's Gate 1&2 (revived CRPGs, and it could be argued they revived PC gaming. Still replay them every 2 or 3 years. (6) Battle Brothers (My most played game for the past couple of years. According to Steam I've logged 424 hours on it, and still play it every day I'm off work.)

my favorite thing about divinity 2 is that it is possible to play local multi-player, so this is a really good one to play with your homies

I've been playing video games for almost 40 years and from the massive variety of experiences across that time, it is fantastically, excruciatingly difficult to try to create a list with a concept as loaded and limiting as "5 all-time favorites". However, if pressed to talk about 5 games that have been absolutely instrumental in my gaming passion and which remain at the top of my mind today, here goes (in no particular order): Doom (1993), Super Metroid, The Curse of Monkey Island, Fallout, Thief 2: The Metal Age Honorable mentions include: Contra, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Baldur's Gate, Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, System Shock 2, Sid Meier's Civilization 6

1-5 Disco Elysium-the gold standard of CRPG storytelling Prey (2017)-the gold standard of immersive sim Fallout: New Vegas-one of the most iconic and best RPGs ever Rising Storm 2-hundreds of hours spent shooting GIs and VC with friends and enemies Haven-best love story ever in a video game and it was great playing with my wife, never will forget the experience similar to Disco Elysium Honorable mention #6 Stalker Anomaly -already put a hundred hours across the 3 stalker games and this mod bringing all of them into one sandbox is amazing and the different mods available keep it entertaining

No particular order. My Top 5: Neverwinter Nights, Witcher 3, KOTOR, DA Origins and LoZ Ocarina of Time

You are the reason I got Divinity: Original Sin 2. I've played it to completion a few months ago and loved it to the core. I am currently replaying it, albeit much slower than before, and using mods for new skills. Thank you for helping me get into it as well as I did.

Morrowind - Nothing beats hearing *that* soundtrack for the first time, and then wondering in the woods, watching the night sky... C&C Generals - _Great leaders resolve their conflicts with words. Words like... Scud laucher, tomahawk missile..._ Warcraft 3 -_For the last time my name is Dreadlord, not a Druglord_ Neverwinter Nights - playing as a knight and having a bard as companion, to keep a journal of our adventure 😊 Specops: the Line - Probably the best antiwar game ever made.

Here are my top 5 in no order: Diablo 2 Grim Dawn Super Metroid Castlevania: SotN Modded Skyrim These are the games I regularly come back to. I've put at least a thousand hours into each.

My personal favourites are, 1. Skyrim SE - I love making up a story and motives for builds/characters, as well as personalising the aesthetics with mods; chatbotGPT implementation is hilarious 2. Star Wars: KOTOR - I played when I was 13 (on iOS) and so have strong nostalgic feelings, especially towards the characters 3. Mass Effect LE - Unique world + the very model of a scientist salarian 4. Deus Ex: MD - The music and general ambience draw me in; some side missions are very memorable like the murder investigation 5. Dishonored - Favourite immersive sim Other favourites are: Prey; Starfield*; Baldur's Gate III*; Fallout NV; Resident Evil 7* (watching others play); Far Cry 4; Left 4 Dead 2; Dead Island (* = I haven't played myself)

FFXII is also my favorite FF game. There's something special about Yasumi Matsuno's games that only he can reproduce. Like, the FF franchise already has a very unique take on fantasy, "magi-tech" societies and kingdoms and stuff and then there's all that in a middle east kind of art style, environment design and color palette that is only present when he's involved with the project.

I suck with these lists. Mass Effect Trilogy is definitely up there not because it is technically amazing but it was the last time I felt genuine emotion with a game.

1) Nier Automata 2) Persona 4 Golden 3) 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim 4) The Last of Us 5) Dragon Age 2 6)Persona 5 Royal 7) The Last of Us 2 8) Dragon Age Origins 9) Mass Effect 10) Devil May Cry 4

Not ranked but my faves are DOS 2 Zelda Botw Bloodborne Prey 2017 Deus ex 2000 Fallout NV Doom Eternal Thief 2 Morrowind Arcanum Persona 5 Royal

It wasn't hard to predict 4/5 games but always nice to hear few additional words about them. My top 5: 1. Europa Universalis 4 - my adventure with games started with strategies (Legion, Commandos, HoMM) I believe that this is the best game I've ever played. The amount of content, goals to achieve, countries to play, multiplayer and relative complexity... I have 2000 hours in this game and I still have ideas for next playthrough 2. Divinity Original Sin 2 - I've played all Divinity games and this is by far the best one. Game shines both in Roleplay (which as a Game Master I'm really fond of) and mechanics. And it is the best coop game ever. Unfortunately, music wasn't as mesmerizing as in previous games but at least it was reactive. 3. Witcher 3 - great action game, with a lot of choices, many interesting characters, dialogues and quests. And it is based on books which are even better 4. Hades - Perfect art, music, mechanics, narrative using death as plot device. I really like how the game allows player to 'craft' his own difficulty level 5. StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty - my favourite RTS. Unique objectives in each mission, RPG elements and interesting plot. Rarely any RTS is good in any of these elements

Skyrim and Grim Dawn are the games I've put the most hours into. I love all the mods you can download to change things up, it really ups replayability. D2 Was awesome back in the day, Daggerfall before that was pretty fun for it's time as well, Baldur's gate too. Fantasy has always been my drug of choice. I just got Pathfinder WOTR, I'm looking forward to playing it more when I get the time!

This is a great list; I always like seeing these types of things. If I had to pick five for myself, the list would be something like...Dragon Age: Inquisition (with DLC), Skyrim, Witcher 3, Dark Souls 3, and Vampyr. Kind of a hodge podge list, but each holds a special place for a different reason.

the final fantasy 12 reasoning makes a lot of sense to me. Back in 2020 I was rooming with two of my best friends and we found our selves playing through a few single-player games as a group. The highlights were the mass effect trilogy and persona 5 royal, which despite being a 100 hour game, that we had already played the original of held us the whole time as we played through a somewhat familiar setting.

been a fan of the channel for quite some time now. somehow missed this vid. as soon as you mentioned ff12 i immediately said out loud "i knew i liked this guy"

It's a shame that no one remembers the old, classic cRPG's from the 80s. Back then, we had cRPG's like the Bard's Tale series, the Ultima series, Moebius and Windwalker, Deathlord, the original Wasteland, Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World, etc. ... not to mention all of the D&D games from SSI. There were so many classic cRPG's from the 80s ... well before Baldur's Gate was even a thing ... and they've all been mostly forgotten.

My top five in no order are COD Vanguard, Fortnite, Diablo Immortal, Anthem, and Madden 22. They so fun, I lucky to grow up with such awesomeness games.

Anything that brings back great memories with your dad is golden ! I've been playing video games since the 80's so I've seen a few come and go. 1. Mass Effect trilogy 2. Witcher 3 3. Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire 4. Deus Ex ( And Human Revolution Mankind Divided ) 5. Too many to list after that...BG 1& 2 ,Planescape , DOS 1& 2 , Pool of Radiance....

If you have never played it I will always highly recommend dark cloud. The game and its sequel are two of the most unique games I have ever played. The second one is better than the first in most aspects although I prefer the visuals of 1. (The second is much more bright and cell shaded, they both have very different tones) They're both on the ps store.

Pathfinder Wotr Pillars of eternity 1 (story) Witcher 3 DoS 2 And maybe even Wasteland 3.... Or Deus ex original... So many, but they are what springs to mind first.

WotR and DOS2 are in my top 5 as well. Baldur's Gate 2 was my favorite game for a long time, by now there are games that do most things better but it's hard to beat nostalgia and the deep impression BG2 left at age 13. As I get older games don't have such long lasting impact on me anymore so it's hard to make a fair comparison to the older infinity engine games, can't say if they should be higher or lower. Morrowind will probably remain my favorite elder scrolls game forever for the same reason even though some of it aged poorly.

I had similiar experience with my dad. I was about 17 and we play together Civilization 2. He never into games, but that game really bring us together.

My list in no particular order: Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen, Dragon Force, Modded Baldurs Gate combining 1 2 SOD and mods all together into an awesome package.

I like your channel so much that when I watch your vids and forget to like them I will go back through my watch history and find them again to like them. Bro, I don't even care that much about gaming and I am a total casual, but your content feels very approachable even for some of the more complicated games out there (like most CRPGs). Thanks for all that you do!

1. Dragon Quest 9 2. Dragons Dogma 3. Divinity Original Sin 2 4. The Witcher 3 5. Final Fantasy XV I'd also say that Bravely Default and Dragon Quest 11 could be interchangeable with the bottom three on any given day.

Thank you for sharing these with us, especially since some of 2 of these are favorites for very personal reasons. My Top 5, in no particular order. Mass Effect 2 Skyrim Fallout 4 Planescape: Torment Halo: CE Also, here are a few games from the last 5 years that may shift this list a bit. Prey(2017) God of War(2018) Hades Elden Ring Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Vampire Survivors

Im old so i played all these games when they launched haha... Baldurs Gate 2, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout NV, Skyrim, Deus Ex... Man its so hard to just pick 5 haha...

It was your video speculating on who is developing bloodlines 2 that first brought me to this channel. One of youtube's all time best recommendations to me. In addition to your great reviews i've discovered so many great games thanks to you

my favourite games are: Might and Magic 6-7-8. I put all 3 into one here, not because I find them equally good, but they are all good and fun and yes you can speed run all of them if that is your jam. KoToR 1 and 2, DoS 2, SWTOR (the class story content) and Heroes of Might and magic 3. these are my top 5 games of all time in no particular order for PC.

I was blessed that my dad got me into the Baldurs Gate games and he still plays video games now, mostly ESO 😁. Thanks for sharing that sweet story about FF12 with yours.

My top games: - Baldur's Gate 2 - Age of Empires 2 - Warcraft 2 - Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver - Mass Effect Honorable mentions: - Dragon Age - Final Fantasy 7, 10, 12, Tactics - Borderlands - KOTOR - The Witcher 1 (I like 2 and 3 as well, but the original holds a special place) P.S: A man of culture I see on FF12? I really liked FF12's system as well, and the story was great

I’ve still got my original copies of D2 and LoD in a drawer in my closet. My love for Diablo games started back with D1. It came out when I was eight and I would play until the Butcher and then be too scared to fight him and quit. Haha, so many good memories in D1 and D2.

1 - Guild Wars 2 - Diablo 2 3 - Fallout 3 4 - Heroes of Might & Magic 3 or 5 5 - League of Legends

1. Total War: Medieval 2 2. Mount & Blade: Warband 3. Fallout 3: New Vegas 4. Crusader Kings II 5. Pokemon Blue (first game for me)

For me Top 5 would probably be: Dark Souls Gothic 2 Diablo 2 TES III: Morrowind HoM&M III

My favourite games would be Witcher 3, Deus Ex and Crusader Kings 2, but I have to mention, in relation to the last game on your list, some of the earliest memories I have in life are watching my dad play the first Jedi Knight game.

I'd imagine your time with your dad in FF12 started with "are ya winnin son?"

Not bad. Mine would be in greatness order: The Witcher 3, DOS 2, Nier Automata, Darkest Dungeon and Total War Warhammer. But Baldur's gate 3 might get to the very top when it's released.

I liked the story with your dad. Also, you are an rpg guy! Hard to choose, but if I had to pick a top 5 in no particular order... Arma 3 - been a fan of the series since some airsoft friends introduced ofp to me, there is something genuine about the slow pace of these games PF:WOTR - best rpg to date for me, captures pnp feel and then some CSGO - getting to global with my friends was a weird yet satisfying challenge Age of Empires 2 DE - pure nostalgic fun, don't know how many hours I spent making scenarios in the original, probably 1000s Wolfenstein Enemy Territory - played this to death when I was teenager, my household was also shit but this game was what got me to learn English and join my first online community (and probably what pushed me to study abroad a few years later!) shame there wasn't a proper follow-up

Clearly easy to tell why i started watching your channel with these picks.

Great list! Especially the last mention regarding memories with your dad. One of my favorite games of all time was Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen. I loved it so much that my Grandma use to rent the whole playstation system from blockbuster so I could play it. She was by far the most important person in my life and everytime I fire up that game it brings back great memories.

For me it's hard to do a top five , but let's try in no particular order : - Baldur's Gate series - Fallout I & II - Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Vampire Bloodlines - Dragon age Origins & Mass Effect 2 ( Yeah i cant choose only one )

I really appreciate these kinds of videos more than the standard reviews. It’s nice to just here your unique thoughts on games instead of the more technical aspects required in reviews.

I think the period and with whom I played my favorite games is as important as their quality :) My top 5, and not in order : Neverwinter Nights...I don't know, just the name is an invitation to visit the forgotten realms :) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2...I am a fan of Obsidian's story telling World of Warcraft 2004-2007, the burning crusade was the peak for me. Yes, I was there when the portal to Outland opened, it was an epic era... I still have some dear real life friends from that period. Star Wars Rebellion : My first ever strategy game...what an experience it was at the end of the 90's;) Vagrant Story...I will never forget the story and the end of it :) I just subscribed, when you hear the intro music in your videos, you know that you are jumping into an adventure :) Inspiring content and creator!

My man, you had me at D2. Personal top 5 are D2, Heroes 3, BG2, VtMB, and Journey.

Dude yeah it’s great to hear love for ff12 I agree with everything you said it’s in my top 3 games of all time it puts every ff game that came after 6 to shame it was an actual evolution of the series that still retained everything that made the series great

Final Fantasy 4 - Music & Story really resonated with teen me. Great memories. Civilization 4 - SO, SO, SO MANY LAN parties with friends! Skyrim - It might be a pop culture answer, but this game did a lot right & the whole package was amazing. Wrath of the Righteous - Such an amazing CRPG & several Story beats are top notch. Shining Force 2 - One of the few games I still play on an emulator. Wish the Sega had done better. Would love to see this series in the modern gaming era.

5 of some of my personal favorites. 1. Chrono Trigger 2. FF6 3. Bloodborne 4. Fallout 1 5. Ninja Gaiden (nes)

That was really cool to hear you open up a little and speak about those experiences with your dad.

ok, FFXII was bit surprising. The rest was expected Back in old days, I used to play FPS games with friend i.e. one of us was moving and aiming the other shooting. As for favourites: Mass Effects, KotORs, Diablo 2, HoMM III, Crimsonland, Serious Sam

VtMB is still my favorite game of all time!! Also permanently installed

Hah FF12 I remember vividly getting mauled by T rex outside of starting city. Well that's memorable.

I expected that list from you. My own list is; 1. Gothic 2 2. M&B Warband 3. Crusader Kings 2 4. Alien Isolation 5. Kenshi

Mine would have to be: 1. Pillars of Eternity 2- as soon as they came out with turn based this pretty quickly became my favorite game ever 2. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous- could see this one overtaking pillars with more time 3. Bioshock- the first game that really just blew me away with its narrative 4. Oblivion- it's Skyrim but clunkier and yet still somehow just a bit better 5. DOS 2- I hate the armor system and the source magic system and yet that's how good this game is in every other way. Would be number one without those two things. Others in the mix for top 10: Skyrim, FF 6, Breath of the Wild, RDR 2, Chrono Trigger, Outer Worlds, Fallout: New Vegas, Fire Emblem: 3 Houses.

I've searched your content and didn't see it. I would love to see you do a rundown of the top 5-10 games you've played purely in terms of story. A lot of your top games (Divinity Original Sin 2, Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous) seem to be more about you enjoying the systems, which makes a lot of sense (your top games should be fun for you to play). But since you've completely played through so many RPGs I'd be really curious to here which of them had the most consistently interesting stories with good payoff, especially since you seem to prioritize full voice acting which I do too!

Divinity Original Sin 2 and Final Fantasy XII!! That cements my trust in your taste in video games. Subscribed!

As everyone is posting their lists, here is mine: 5. Deadfire 4. Monaco: What's yours is mine 3. Morrowind 2.Total war: Warhammer II 1. PF: Wrath of the righteous

Dark Souls 1 is probably my all time favorite game. Or Bloodborne. Or maybe even Borderlands 2. I had so many hours upon hours in those games, when a friend and myself would just do all nighters playing them together. Sadly I have not found as much enjoyment in later soulsborne and looter shooter games. I think I have just grown bored with those style of games. And the fact that I am at a different point in life than I was a decade ago just like everyone. On the Flip side, I have had a resurgence of interest in retro style crpgs. I loved Baldur's Gate 1&2, and Fallout 1&2, and Icewind Dale 1&2, but moved away from games like that for a long time. But now there are some really good new crpgs that put me in mind of those classic ones. Even if I have yet to finish a single modern crpg.

Knowing your channel, none of the titles appear as surprising to me! I have yet to play DOS2 myself, might get to it eventually if that wait for BG3 gets too long.

DOS2 and Witcher 3 are almost tied for me. I've played through using all 6 of the MCs in DOS2 with Fane my favorite by far, and the fact that the game can be so hilarious by taking the cheese route puts it at the top. Witcher 3 has some of the best storylines to play anywhere.

1) Diablo 2:LOD (now D2R) 2) WOW classic - WOTLK 3) Total War: Warhammer series 4) Unreal Tournament 99 5) Quake 1 I played so many hours of those last two strictly in multiplayer. I obviously don't play them anymore but for their time they were perfect.

My top 5: - Elden Ring - Fallout New Vegas - Dark Souls 3 - Fallout 4 (not the best RPG by a long shot but such a fun game) - Monster Hunter World Honorable mentions: The OG Mass Effect trilogy, Dark Souls 1 and 2, Sekiro and Bloodborne, Dragon's Dogma, Grim Dawn, Fallout 1 and 2, PoE, Diablo 2 and Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. ... It's a really difficult list ok I play all of them constantly.

Even though I haven't played DOS 2, yet, it was your videos on it that brought me to your channel. Awesome work.

Baldur's Gate 2, Mass Effect Trilogy, Skyrim, Witcher 3, Total War Games

My List, in no order: DOOM 2 - Your story reminded me how much fun I had playing this with my Dad, me being 8, I was terrified of the Cyberdemon, but loved blowing it up with him. Dark Souls Grand Theft Auto III Dead Space Final Fantasy VI

My top 5ish games are: 1) Baldur's Gate 1&2 and all other infinity engine rpgs 2) Fallout 2 3) Star Wars KotoR 1&2 4) Attack on Titan 2 5) DnD Warriors of the Eternal Sun And the honourable mentions are both VtM games, Pillars of Eternity 1&2, Tyranny, DoS 1&2, Arcanum and Dragon's Dogma. And I forgot the Pathfinder games too.

final fantasy 12 is my all time number 1, but for the same reason as your diablo entry, i did not havve a great childhood, and final fantasy 12 was my way of dealing with things.

gotta parrot the praise for FF12. game was my gateway from console Jrpg's to the western crpg with Dragon age Origins. such a fantastic game full to the brim with content and Ivalice is in my top 3 settings of all time.

Final Fantasy 12!!!!!! I spent the most time on that game than any others, period. Loveeee
