X-COM 2 Done a ridiculous amount of playthroughs on PC consoles and Mobile

Humm, Witcher 3 for me personally.

Bioshock.

Literally a masterpiece in every way. Story, level design, atmosphere, gameplay, moral system, acting... Everything is perfect.

Diablo II for me, can't wait to get stuck back in to the resurrected version. Been longing for a remake for literal DECADES!!!

I have a few for different platofrms.

PS1 - Metal gear solid, i remember having it on a demo disc and played through it many times until i finally got the game and i think its the only game i have replayed 10+ times all the way through.

PC Online gaming- 3 games, Delta force 2 & Delta Force Black Hawk down, i played the crap out of these online and joined a clan and played matches, which was extremely fun and look back on them days fondly, still great friends with a few people 15 years later! And of course WoW Vanilla, nothing quite like it back in the day and i remember my first raiding experiences with 40 people, what a time that was!

Are we the same person?

Battlefield 2 - Spent hundreds of hours on this... between 2005 and 2008. It had a certain feel to it that I just didn't find in the later iterations.

Oh yea, was by far the best one. I played it a lot as well, like you, hundreds of hours easy.

Frostpunk and Dying Light (the first one), had soo many hours out of both those games, i can stop playing for 6 months and go back to them and mostly experience most of the same enjoyment all over again (no experience is ever the same as the first time around).

World of Warcraft up to wrath of the litch king - I still remember my first time in Elwyn Forest - I had beers, freedom and as much time as I wanted - think I eventually crashed at 5am lol what an experience that was

Already voted but quietly delighted to see so many others went with ut99.
I fully appreciate they couldn't say no to the money fortnite (while not my cup of tea) made, but I feel like leaving the new UT they were working on in limbo like that was dirty

Witcher 3, not so much for the gameplay but for the environment, lore, storytelling. Can't wait for a replay when the remaster comes out.

For all of its flaws and issues, PUBG is probably my most enjoyed and most time I've sunk into a game. Could also have something to do with the squads of people involved in also.

bigmike20vt · 8 Aug 2022 at 18:46

still elite dangerous for me (I would likely have gone for the original elite or elite 2 Frontier but for VR)
. which is odd as I think the game has took a huge.wrong turn and will never reach its potential outlined in KSer / DDF but those 1st 5 years I had in the game were unrivaled , in VR it was (and still is ) incredible.

so it's my GOAT but as the same time also a shadow of what it could have been

Bald-Eagle22 · 8 Aug 2022 at 18:51

Current GOAT is Rimworld - full of ***** n giggles I can tell you .

Frontier: Elite 2 on the Amiga
The whole vastness of a full galaxy where you can travel to any star system. Simple mechanics - pick up and deliver, assassinate, smuggle, gain rep with just a few factions. Much simpler compared to Elite dangerous, too much to do in that game, much like what WoW has become. Speaking of WoW, that is very, very close to my top spot.

Lord-Jaffa · 9 Aug 2022 at 08:33

Everquest 1
Closely followed by World of Warcraft and Total war: Warhammer 2

to be fair you can ignore a lot of the stuff in ED and play it just like Frontier. the only thing you can't really do is fight thargoids as that needs special weapons but other than that all the extra stuff like engineering can be ignored so long as you don't want to PvP. all engineering do is allow you to melt NPC's faster.... but they are beatable without

indeed one of my irks with ED is that so much of the content is ignorable. it's like a series of features many of which are not really meshed together

OK, thats something I didn't know. I purchased ED on release and gave it about 6 months. I check up on the content every now and then but not actually played it since those 6 months at the start. Can I still play it solo with out any other real players? If I can I may give it another go. I did like playing it but all the added stuff made me not want to as I said, too much.
