Loony BoB never learned how to climb up and down ladders.
Also if your friend actually said "you're pretty good!" he might have just been saying Revolver Ocelot quotes...You "think" you have MGS and you haven't played it? I didn't think I could respect you less BooB.

It's worth playing BoB! Takes about 10-12 hours to beat and you will not regret a single minute.
PS. I thought about spoiler tagging everything but the game is 16 years old so I thought I'd get away with it
Am I the only one who's more curious about #2 than #1? I feel like I already know what's rightfully earned the top spot, but knowing its competition is what makes me F5 this whole thread.
I deny everything
But I'm sorry, I think the entry for #2 will be ready tomorrow night or Thursday. Busy days
(SPOILER)#2 will end up being Dark Souls as the ultimate swerve in EoFF history.
I know I have a MGS game. I'm just not 100% certain which one it is and I'm not at home. I'm pretty certain it's MGS2 the more I think about it.You "think" you have MGS and you haven't played it? I didn't think I could respect you less BooB.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!

MGS is great. I second whatever everyone has said positively (I will read it later I promise!)
But yeah, Pete, if you can find Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut for cheap, listening to the commentary is great. I've never listened to commentary on anything before but it's great to hear how it all came together and what the thinking was behind it and how some things almost made it but didn't and some things weren't quite right even at shipping etc etc etc it's awesome fun.
That sounds pretty cool! I always wonder what's really going on in studio's of that quality and size. Gonna keep an eye out for cheap deals.
Here it is, the long awaited #2 on the list!
#2:

Final Fantasy X
The spiral of death has claimed the following awards:
‘Best flashback’
‘Most vibrant world’
‘Most stunning locales’
‘Best soundtrack. By a mile.’
‘Best flans’
Finally a numbered Final Fantasy game on the list. The pilgrimage of Final Fantasy X is a journey that amazes me every time I experience it.
The locations are breathtaking and Spira - despite all it’s sadness and terror - is a place I could happily live my life. The battle system is deep, fast and a ton of fun. The sidequests are challenging and provide big end game options. The soundtrack is epic and gorgeous. While the game is linear Spira feels vibrant and real. Even zeh Shoopuf.
The story features many issues and themes of our own world. Racism, religion, indoctrination, mankind’s use of technology and of course death. The fact that death is all around in Spira makes the journey worthwhile. There is so much at stake.
Having to fight your own father to the death is a damn ballsy design choice, as is Yunalesca’s option to sacrifice a guardian to fill the final statue of the fayth. Slowly but surely we turn into rebels in an indoctrinated world. We will break the spiral and show everyone the true path. This world - the spiral of death - and everything in it is incredibly well thought out and explained. The concept is as solid as it can get. Final Fantasy X threads into the land of literature.
Where does this game even start? The opening CG kicks in the door and breaks down your house. Then trout really hits the fan when you fight a maester in Macalania. Storming Bevelle is where it picks up dramatically. When you finally reach the Zanarkand ruins and story perspective shifts from past to present, that is where it all begins. And then you face Yunalesca. It is the beginning of the end. To make a long point short: the pacing, presentation and storytelling are nothing but phenomenal.
I care for each and every character. Tidus goes from superstar to a nobody and that is awesome. Wakka going from true believer to heathen is some of the best character development I’ve seen in any game. Auron’s flashback at Yunalesca brings a tear to my eye in the manliest of ways. Brave Kimahri giving us the silent treatment for half the game makes him all the more inspiring when he does speak. Yuna trying to hide her secrets piques my interests and her dance to send the dead at Kilika is breathtaking. The story behind wise Lulu’s sudden lashes towards Wakka is tragic and understandable. And Rikku, while my least favourite, has the rebel mindset that’s encouraging the others.
I will go on this pilgrimage many more times and if my previous playthroughs are any indication I will enjoy every single minute of it.
FFX is pretty great. For some reason I'm just imagining the Bahamut Fayth walking up to all of the FFX haters after they read this entry to say "You cried." I'm excited to check out the content I haven't experienced yet in the HD remasters.
You used to be cool Pete. What happened man?
Bravely I stand by my opinion.
