Message: [QUOTE="DoubleGulpSlurpeeCup, post: 89661, member: 250126"] Okay... I have spent some time thinking about this. here is my list 5. Assassins Creed Unity - HEAR ME OUT!! This game is on my top 5 because of its uniqueness in the franchise, an alternate reality. The good side of history that could have been. Not to say that I don't enjoy some of the newer AC Games, because I do. But Assassins Creed Unity is a game that is entirely unique in the AC line of games in the way you move throughout the world, the realism and when it worked completely fluid motion, and the way the entire world felt it had a sole purpose for existing. The story was not necessarily worth playing through again, but I found myself coming back day after day just to roam around the world, and when the parkour system worked.....it worked extremely well. The game really brought me into the French revolution, and I loved the game for that. This AC game really hit a note with me because for the first time and quite frankly the last time... I felt like a true Assassin. 4. Super Mario Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy is the first game that I was acutely conscious of and actually cared about to any degree. It was the first game that made me care about the characters and what happened to them. I believe this game sparked my interest in story telling in games. The shining moment in the game for me was reading through Rosalina's Storybook. 3. Mafia 1 - The version I'm referring to is the Definitive edition. The first Mafia game I played was Mafia 2 on the Xbox 360 YEARS before I played mafia 1. I will bring up mafia 2 later which is why I'm mentioning it now. Mafia one is the only game that I know of that truly thrusts you into the world of the early 20th century. Betrayal is what I really like about the story and how fast things can go completely sour between you and someone you once thought of as family. Without spoiling anything, the way the ending of the story plays out ties in SO PERFECTLY into a single nonchalant mission of Mafia 2 it kicked me in the face before I could even react. The story is a masterpiece through and through. 2. No Mans Sky - This game stands out to me because there is quite simply... no other game like it. when the game first launched it fell short of expectations. but over the course of its life, it has been turned into one of the coolest experiences. the main story is actually a very cool quest of self-discovery, and the side stories are just as interesting to me. Pair the awesome story with cool little random side events and an effectively infinite universe of solar systems and planets, to me it is one of the coolest gaming experiences....now.....if you play for long enough the planets and animals dooooo kind of get a little repetitive.......BUT THE PREMISE! for what it's trying to do it does it extremely well. Far better than any game that has tried since. 1. Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 - These two games must share a spot as one is not better than the other. my number 1 spot for this list was a tie between the two TITANS. Red Dead Redemption and Ghost of Tsushima. I am a SUCKER for story games that really do everything in its power to immerse you into the game. I appreciate a story that has a sense of realism, has boundaries and operates between them in a way that isn't unrealistic to the universe it has created. what I mean by this is I don't care for a story that uses cheap "The hero saves the day at the last second against all odds because they are the good guys, and they always win no matter what" or "This character obviously fucking died but actually SIKE they instead came back to life to save our hero from doom at the last second and everything is okay"..... I hate that. I deeply hate those two things and I'm probably going to post a thread about it to see what others think on the subject... I want to feel a sense of danger for EVERYONE involved within the story. The Red Dead Redemption Games from the very beginning has the tone that anything CAN and WILL go wrong. and of course it does. There really isn't any comparison for the absolute masterclass of storytelling that took place at rockstar games during the creation of Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 At the end of the day... no one survives... no heroes... no victors... Just a hopeless fight to the end. The gameplay of RDR 2 is unlike any other game I have ever played. The Immersion RDR 2 brings to the table as a fully open world, non-RPG game has not really been matched by any other game of the genre I have played. I could go on and on about these games and the intricate story arcs of all characters, main, side, or plain NPC but I'd be here forever. For almost endless reasons Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 are at the number 1 spot on this list. [/QUOTE]
