If you could recommend only one PC game in history which would it be?

[lokiss]

Probably World of Warcraft. Even though I don't play it.

There's too many games I've really enjoyed to pick just one

Some of my favourites/moments

Ultima online, when they started testing factions I'd create some teleportation runes close to the opposing faction then open a gate in a town and watch mayhem break loose as everyone that passed through the gate got ganked

Unreal tournament ctf instagib, bouncing round blasting away, silly but great fun

Legend of mir, I forget the name of the cave but I used to always attack the same guy (ipip) with my wizard character everytime I saw him in there, I'd walk along with tons of mobs following me, egg shield up then hit him with a lightning bolt, he'd swing at me and draw all the mobs onto himself, I'd then just walk around him laughing as he got low on health, I must have done the same trick hundreds of times heheh, I bet he hated me

Neocron, pking people with my 5 slot liberator i, dead before they could react

So many memories

Having genuinely played PC since... well duke nukem/doom/C&C/Dune 2 days...

I'd struggle to find anything that genuinely entertains as much as X-Com 2 with the Long War 2 mod.

Edit: Ultima online was pretty decent though. WoW stole a lot of years from me as well. Still, I think X-Com 2+LW2.

I'm in the same age bracket. For me, it would be the original Doom.

Impossible to answer, just like films, if someone asked me my favourite ever film or song and I can only choose one - I might need some time to think...

Anyway off the top of my head, Team Fortress.

I normally throw in something like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but it's really, really difficult to narrow it down to just one.

 

[Akagi]

Fallout 3.

 

[kinger8938]

Pre cataclysm Wow imo. Never before had I been doo invested in a game especially with friends

 

[One Vision]

BF2

 

[Mart2912]

Battlefield 2 ( and expansions) for me. Unrivaled fun and nothing has came close since for me

As far as multiplayer is concerned, I would agree. I'm not sure if it's because I preferred the game mechanics and the overall map design, or if it's just because it was my first proper large scale FPS.

 

[ancientmariner]

Deus Ex...all day, every day.

This.

 

[Woden]

Baldurs Gate

 

[Lartyconshayo]

Portal 2

 

[chrismscotland]

Like others BF2 for online, sunk weeks and months into that.
Outside of that I'd say Simcity 2000, probably the last one that was actually good! and I spent countless hours with that!

 

[Tombstone]

Is this IF you could play it at that time? Or a game from history but played now? As they are quite different..

IF its a game from history, that you could go back in time and play at that time again. Then without a shadow of a doubt, Ultima Online.

 

[Aberfala]

DAOC

 

[champ222]

Half Life

this

 

[Glanza]

the Witcher 3 however the game I put the most time into was WoW but that's never ending with TW3 you can finish the game fully.

 

[fastwunz]

World of Warcraft Vanilla in 2004 at uni on a rare night IN. Rolled a Paladin, Northshire Abbey and off we go. Lots of beer and cigarettes (i don't smoke anymore )

Also Warcraft 3 and the Frozen Throne Expansion - lost hours to those games

 

[MookJong]

Magic Carpet lol

I pray every night before bed for a remake. I mean can you image how good this would be now?
