It is, Roto.
It IS.
I'd have to cast my vote with Superman 64
...
- God of War;
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night;
- Chrono Cross;
- Vagrant Story;
- Any Metal Gear;
I consider them perfect because they are enjoyable games, they never pissed me off and they have, in my opinion, at least one outstanding aspect, like the awesome characters of Vagrant Story.
How can you call any game where you have to keep two seperate save files due to terrible imbalancing "perfect"?And also, I can pretty much guarantee a victory from any save file you've got so long as you used Ramza enough for him to have yell
Got a few more:
Sonic the Hedgehog CD: This game was probably the only game that did 2D platforming right. Take cool, large, chageable level design, add a metric ton of these huge ass levels, add fast speed plus the time travel element, the coolest secret level design I'd ever seen, and gameplay that's challenging as hell to play. I think we got a winner here, people.
Phantasy Star II: One part epic story, one part simple yet challenging RPG elements, one part cool characters, and five parts dungeons and monster battles that are... dare say it... hard? Yes, we have an RPG that's actually hard, people. There is no excuse for you to not play this game. In fact, I encourage everybody with an emulator to download and play it. Its a game so hard it took me ten years... yes ten years, to actually beat.
Tales of Destiny II. Agree with it plzkthx.
I wish ValkyrieWing is here. And Lunar. And Zero. And Everyone.
The Late Owen Macwere Production.
While my list is nowhere near perfect, theres the games that ive enjoyed the most and never get tired of, no matter how old, nor how often played.
Doom/Doom 2/Final Doom (Classic Doom)
These games are in my opinion, the best FPS games ever, and always will be. I always loved the games as a kid, mainly for the gore and all the shooting, which was awesome compared to all the hundreds of kiddy games at the time, but I could not play it without codes, as it was too damn hard, and I could not use a keyboard to play games very well. However, when I got Doom as a gift for the Playstation, being controlled with an actual controller rather than keyboard, I learned to play it, and got quite good at it, beating it on Ultra Violence multiple times (a 58 or 59 level quest, zomg!). When I got Final Doom for PS, which is a very rare game, I jumped straight to Ultra Violence from the offset, and was amazed by the level of difficulty, which far exceeded the former game. It took me three times as long to beat the 30 levels, as it did to beat the 58/59 levels of Doom on UV twice. Then one day, I found Final Doom for the PC in a bargain bin...much to my surprise, it was twice, maybe three to four times the difficulty of Final Doom on PS, plus, it was played on keyboard. And this was just TNT Evilution...Plutonia remains the hardest official Doom ever, to me.
I found the Doom Collector's Edition later, and now play Doom on ZDoom, a source port, and the awesome mods and stuff you can get for Doom never cease breathing life into a game well over ten years old. Alien Vendetta, Hell Revealed, Void, and other such things are ingenious, and the challenge serves to increase my skil ever so further. Excellent game series, I hope it never truly dies..
Sonic the Hedgehog
The first Megadrive game I played, and the first game I ever beat. Ive never gotten tired of it, and I was delighted to find that it had been rereleased on PS2 on the Sonic Mega Collection Plus. You can say that I bought it for Sonic 1 and 2, as these two games have been engraved in my memory as two of the greatest games ever. Even now, I still play it every so often, and have completed the entire game getting almost everything, and not getting hit once several times now.
Star Ocean
The best RPG series, in my opinion. I remember my mate bragging about Star Ocean 2 a lot, and me laughing at it, as it sounded so silly..yet when I finally saw it, It was pretty cool, and I was awestruck by the full active battles, so many numbers, so fast! I was used to slow RPGs like Final Fantasy..
When Star Ocean 3 came out, I was curious, so I bought it (I also bought it to spite my mate, who had wanted it since hearing about back when it was first announced) I loved it, and got addicted, and unlike most of my games, which i get halfway in, or so on, then stop and play something else and leave it unfinished for ages (years), I actually played it through till the end..
Later, I found Star Ocean 2 for sale (An extreme rarity, and only for $20!) and it wasnt as great as SO3, but it was still an awesome game, and on of the best RPG's ive ever played. Star Ocean 1 is the greatest SNES game, imo, and if I can get to play Star Ocean Blue Sphere, it will probably be the best Gameboy game. To this day I still play SO games every few days, and still arent bored of it (I might never grow bored of them)
Xenosaga series is definately up there. While it doesn't have many things that Stand out as spectacular, Lufia 2: Rise of the sinistrals had no problems with it. It was an awsome SNES Game, and why the hell hasn't anyone mentioned Chrono Trigger yet? I'm dissapointed in you people.
And who can forget the wonder of earthbound.
As close as anything crafted by humans could be, at least.It is, Roto.
It IS.
And I think the Homeworld series was the perfect RTS game. BRILLIANT full three dimensional movement. "Realistic" vessels and combat strategies. The first one had a good plot. Cataclysm sucked, but the combat improvements were brilliant. And Homeworld 2 was just gorgeous. In the years since, NOTHING has rivalled them for what they are.
Where the hell is Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)? You can't talk about near perfect games without Ninja Gaiden. Tightest action game ever. Good thing it's coming to PS3, so more people will actually play it and know it.
Virtua Fighter 5, also, surpasses VF4, which is an obvious evolution. And VF4 was already the perfect fighter, so...
I tend to agree.
Though, I do not see the the lack of challenge as a hurddle for the game. It afterall, is perfectly fun for me to play time and time again. Isn't that the point of a game? To be entertaining?
Oh, and Shaq-fu.
Bipper
Chrono Tigger
This comes pretty damned close to perfection.
Oh, and Shaq-fu.
Final Fantasy VII is the perfect game for me. Well, not perfect, but almost.
