I'm a pretty casual gamer, so I've pretty much only played the "hits" a few years after they've been out.
These are the ones I remember feeling the most groundbreaking and spending the most time with over the years.
- Doom 2
- GTA San Andreas
- Yakuza 0
- Last of Us
- Zelda: Link to the Past
- Duke Nukem 3D
- Carmageddon 2
- Eternal Darkness
- Red Dead 2
- Metal Gear
I got a good laugh out of the other post that is all the Yakuza games, because that's how I spent a ton of my Covid work from home time playing them on the cheap. They had the fun of the GTA games, but I never like the main characters were bad people, so Yakuza gave me the games I've wanted through all the GTA years and then some.
Surprised I had to scroll this far to see DooM 2. Guess I'm getting old.
Right?! I saw new Doom on here which I haven't played, but the lack of people listing Doom 1 and 2 on here is pretty surprising, esp as the Lemmy crowd seems to skew older.
I took a minute to pick between 1 and 2, but 2 felt bigger and I felt I spent more time with it, at least unmodded.
Oh shoot, I forgot the original Deus Ex too! I don't know if I saw that on here anywhere either. Just too much gold for only 10 picks. I was sad I had to bump off American Magee's Alice as well.
Aww man. I remember playing lots of LAN DN3D in highschool, after hours in the computer lab. Sometimes an idiot kicked out the BBC cable from one of the ring-topology connected PCs by accident, interrupting fun for everybody.
I used to be a top dog, until some first grader snot nosed kid started playing with M+KB at the same time, sniping all of us keyboard turners with the shotgun on the american football arena map.
I never got to have a LAN party but we did do a weekly StarCraft night via modem. It felt so amazing at the time to be able to sync up a game online.
StarCraft doesn't make my list though cuz I always sucked at it! 😤
