10 Favorite Games Then And Now

[Sarisa]

I tried to make this list by focusing on games that took up a lot of time at one point in my life even if I no longer play them anymore, and games that had a lasting impact on me. I also didn't include multiple entrees from the same franchise (otherwise at least half would be Tales and Final Fantasy games) and this is what I ended up with:

1. Yugioh (2014's HAT format in particular; I quit just before 2016)
2. Tales of Phantasia (my first and favorite game in the tales series)
3. Pokemon Emerald (couldn't play any of the newer ones as I don't have a DS)
4. Final Fantasy X (my favorite final fantasy title; all my siblings played this too)
5. Smite (my current obsession game; I'm trying to go competitive at it)
6. Mafia/Werewolf (I've played this on a couple different forums and always had fun with it)
7. Shadowverse (though more for the solo campaign than the multiplayer)
8. Duel Masters / Kaijudo (I only played the PS2 game, but man was it fun. Sadly the community for the IRL game is pretty much dead.)
9. old Runescape (before they changed the combat system and made it so it couldn't run on older computers)
10. Hearthstone (though I haven't played this in years since priest was always the worst class despite being my favorite)

So that's 4 cardgames (yugioh, hearthstone, shadowverse and duelmasters) 3 JRPGS (tales of phantasia. FFX, and pokemon emerald) 1 MMORPG (runescape) 1 MOBA (smite) and 1 forum game (mafia). Quite a decent spread and pretty well reflective of my interests over the years. I don't suppose any of you would like to play some HAT format by chance?
