Honestly games these days rarely meet my standards, there are few that really create that spark for me. what games does tym consider to be games that will stand the test of time?I prefer to play an older game with originality, and I am actually going back and playing some i missed. I can live with flaws on older games because I understand the time and I can appreciate the game.
Games that when you play them you get warm and fuzzy feelings and you go "omg this game is amazing, the people who made this are geniuses". Games where the art style really moves you and the design wows you. I never considered games like halo or cod to be in this category despite popularity. I also adore and was super comp. in pc shooters so they feel like crap to me. I respect halo more than cod however.
Battletoads. This game is retarded but also overlooked because of how hard it was. Considering this was on the nes it's way ahead of its time. Watch a speed run and you'll see
Donkey kong1/2: this was the more accessible than btoads(also made by for the next gen, still no slouch in terms of difficulty. Crazy ideas in level design. Really fluid controls.
Mario 64: this game visually, design, gameplay, was revolutionary.. It's still fun to play. I loved this game. Mario Galaxy also deserves to be in this category and I hear banjo kazooie is even better, but for me 64 is godlike and nostalgic.
Ocarina of time;obvious, it's notable the music is something that makes this extra special. I mean kids were buying ocarinas because of this.nit was also revolutionary in 3rd person action
Windwaker:this game wows me visually and environmentally. The characters are all unique and they get you emotionally involved. The moment where link runs into jabun or when hyrule surfaces gives me chills. The pacing is amazing and it feels extremely fresh through the majority of it? Really good games don't get repetitive.
Ff7:I watched my brother play this through, yup.
Bioshock: 1 is by far the best. The story and atmosphere and audio logs are on another level. This game has very interesting social commentary and also deep gameplay with tons of diff. ammunition and plasmids. Bio shock 2 has the best gameplay but it can't compete story wise with 1, whereas infinite is very cool and unique and visually amazing andthe skyline is awesome... But it's not as good gameplay wise (still great) or story wise.
Dark souls/demon souls: demons souls us worthy of mention because it we very original and has many things in common like an amazing atmosphere and rewarding difficulty, but the successor dark souls is the one I have played and could go on and on about how good it is. The intertwined level design is masterful, every area is unique and you get a tremendous sense of exploration, the method of storytelling and user generated lore it provides, the twisted sense of humor and the memorable npcs. The gameplay and the way you can build your character and all the weapons, the sense of fear and being when you are new, and most importantly the implementation of online,name the user generated messages provides for amazing situations but also adds to the humor of the game. The game really makes you feel a wide spectrum of emotions, pretty much all of them. Its an amazing experience... I could keep going and snout how dark souls 2 failed to do almost everything the first does.
