Best Game Ever

[Carl the Llama]

If you had to choose which game is your all time favourite what would it be?

For me I think it would have to be the game I named myself after, Breath of Fire III.

To me Breath of Fire III is the epitome of an awesome game, the dragon transforming, the special moves (which it took luck and good timing to learn all the abilities the game has to offer) the Masters system, it all combined to make it one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had, the story was awesome fun and lets not forget, Ryu is actually a (SPOILER)God as evidenced in the 4th instalment (which was a very very close second).

Thank you so much for your post.

No, thank you so much for your post, bot.

Anyway, these "pick one" things are hard. I always feel like I'm not doing everything justice and I want to pick more than one or I forget something that could be a contender. Which is why a while ago I just decided that FFVI would forever and always take the number one spot in my heart.

We all know why it's amazing and I think being sprite-based gives it an advantage when it comes to the "ageing" process.

Are we picking which game is our favorite or which game we think is the "best" game? They don't necessarily have to be the same... (although they can be, of course.)

[Jiro]

I believe it is the best game, not just our personal favourite. Although I strongly suggest they are one and the same in my case

[Pheesh]

Kingdom Hearts, and it's the best just because! :expee:

Suikoden II, without a doubt. Played it through last year and it was more beautiful than ever.

For me it's MGS4. I know it's not for everyone, but something about the story and characters just clicks with me. I haven't played 2 and 3 and I don't know if it's to do with the music or what it is, but it is the only game which sends chills down my spine with guarantee.

FFX. Here's whyThe story covers a lot of themes similar to our own world, like religion, mankind's use of technology, social control, racism, politics, family values and of course life and death. It gave (and actually still gives) me a lot to think about.

Also, it takes place in a world that absolutely sucks me in every time I play through it. Everything in Spira feels alive and credible. Especially since it's not a perfect paradise, but because nothing is safe out there.

FFVI, FFVII, Baldur's Gate II, Persona 3, and trout like that are what I'd consider games I love that were very, very well-received and thus deserve to be consider amongst the most elite games of their kind.

But, I'mma go for Okage: Shadow King for best ever.

FFVII. I love all the elements of thre game, but the way they interact is the best, like the dialogue over the backgrounds with the music making it eery, or the fast paced actioney-feel of the battles.

Plus I beat Xenogears this weekend so I feel like my opinion is reinforced.

For me it's MGS4. I know it's not for everyone, but something about the story and characters just clicks with me. I haven't played 2 and 3 and I don't know if it's to do with the music or what it is, but it is the only game which sends chills down my spine with guarantee.

I almost said this, too, I think it's top 2 for me.

Chrono Trigger or Morrowind, I can't decide.

Morrowind has great story and environment, Chrono Trigger has spectacular story and gameplay.
Decisions, decisions.

[Pike]

I believe it is the best game, not just our personal favourite.

In that case I'm tempted to say Yoshi's Island, which is possibly the most all-around perfect game I've ever played, in every department-- gameplay, music, art style, etc.

...yeah, let's go with that.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Definitely Chrono Trigger.

Favourite game is a tie between suikoden 3 and symphony of the night.

Best game (overall) is Tetris.
