 What is your favorite video game of all time? #asknostr 
 Final Fantasy VIII 
 I never played it. I played 7 and a few months ago I finished 16. Why do you prefer 8? 
 I like the balance of the story. The blend of fantasy and realism is exquisite, making it the most realistic among the numbered Final Fantasy titles. The gameplay is highly engaging, with many elements that allow for extended playtime, keeping me captivated. Battle system is also unique. 
 Thx. Maybe one day I'll give it a try. 
 Starcraft the Og had so much multiplayer options 
 Starcraft is really cool, but I was never really into it. I think there are rumors about a new game. 
 Options for gameplay or connectivity? 
 Gran Turismo series 
 GT was great but I never was a big fan of racing games. I met and interviewed Kazunori Yamauchi, the creator of Gran Turismo, a few years ago. 
 Wow, do you have that interview to share by chance?

I was also way into Spyro 
 Unfortunately it's in German and in video form so it probably won't be of much use to you. 😃 
 Pretty solid tie between Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot  
 Interesting choice. 😃 i prefer Crash Bandicoot. 
 Ultima 8 or Masters of Magic 
 booo
after 7 the series went to shit 

 
 🤷‍♂️  
 I have never heard of Master of Magic. 
 You can get it for cheap on gog.com. It's turn based strategy like Might and Magic but I think its a lot richer  
 Thx for the info! 
 Defender  
 This was before my time. 😃 
 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.... 
 You have to explain that now. 😄 
 Dickens explains it best. 
 😃👍 
 Donkey Kong Country 
 Classic. 
 Hearthstone 
 I played this like crazy back then. Is it still good? 
 Haven’t played in about 9 years lol. But tempted to get back into it! 
 😃 
 i play this too 
 Pokemon Blue & the OG Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 
 Pokémon was so great. It made the Game Boy cool again. 
 Mario kart 64, good on Wii as well. 
 I really like the new Mario Kart. 
 Diablo 2 on PC and James Bold GoldenEye on N64. 
 Diablo 2 is awesome. Diablo 3 was really good too. I've tried Diablo 4, but I haven't played it much yet. 
 Diablo 3 was good after the first year or so, but nothing compared to D2 back then imo. I was a blizzard fanboy for a long time but didn't even buy D4 yet, maybe one day. Everything feels more important than gaming to me right now. 
 Same. 
 My favorites when I was a kid https://i.nostr.build/CGL6u8ZMKenHJcxf.jpg https://i.nostr.build/KMyD38p8aK434RoR.jpg

 I also played the blue version of Pokémon. 😃 I've never played Final Fantasy 3 and Chrono Trigger. 
 More like one of my favourite animes ✌️☺️💯 
 Monkey island 
 Oh yeah. This series is so good. I really love the soundtrack. 
 I still use mokey island theme on my phone 😉 
 Coincidentally thinking about this yesterday

 Age of empires 4 for challenging real time strategy with great mechanics and beautiful graphics. 

The Last Of Us (both parts) for incredible storytelling. 
 Deus Ex 
 This is like having to pick a favorite child...

For significance in shaping the types of games I would be drawn to for the rest of my life: Final Fantasy on NES.

Played almost all FF titles released in the US after that. It made me love all things swords and sorcery, so I am also a major fan of the Elder Scrolls series, the Witcher series, the Dragon Age series, and the Baldur's Gate series, among many others. 
 fallout 3 was pretty awesome but all time maybe Metroid Prime on Gamecube.   
 Yeah, both are great games. 
 Super Mario 3 
 Super Mario is awesome! 
 Witcher 3 wild hunt 
 This game is great. I once met the developers 
 Nice, they can be proud of their work toward witcher series. 
 Absolutely! 
 Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 
 I've never played Baldur's Gate. 
 So many hours spent maxing out different classes and solo runs, etc.  I’m scared to try Baldur’s gate 3 in the event it sparks the same middle school/early high school obsession, ha. 
 I've heard only good thing about Baldur's Gate 3. 
 New Vegas is the only right answer and the disproportionate amount of other reponses is really a sign of retardation 

I understand that enjoyment is subjective, but if you had more developed brains none of you would enjoy these other games as much as New Vegas

But if you're a retard who enjoys these other games more than New Vegas, your only takeaway here will be "lol look how hurt smart people are by the dominant force of anti-intellectualism, we're beating them so bad they can't even handle the differences between us in matters like video game taste"

And thanks to retard brain, that complex thought will get dumbed down in your head to just "lol new vegas fans condescending" 
 Battlefield 1942 
 Glad you asked.
