Rules: just pick 1 and explain why.

I’ve been playing since the NES and despite being from a low income family I had the luck of being able to play and own many consoles over the 3 decades of my life, plus some pc.

If you ask me right now? Resident Evil 4 (2005).

A before and after in gaming, to this day still extremely fun to play even for casuals but 20 years ago it was THE masterpiece. And everyone took notice of it, everyone played it, even players that didn’t cared about resident evil. The gameplay was so good that it got photocopied by everyone right after in the action genre.

Arguably the last big innovator in videogames minus Minecraft and… PUBG (Fortnite did it better I know).

Try to NOT pick your favourite game, that’s a different thing.

    Since everyone’s just saying their favorite game, I’ll say The Finals!

    It’s fuckin great! It’s the first FPS in years that gets me legit excited to play. I like that the game requires decent strategy, movement, and teamwork to get wins and not just good aim/luck. Everything about it feels fresh. Best of all it’s freaking free. A free AAA game in 2024 that’s more than decent and has an awesome dev team? Sign me up!

    It’s wild to me that it’s not huge compared to games that go mainstream (not gonna mention names. lol), but I’ll appreciate it while it’s here.

      I like the finals too. It’s the best arcade shooter I’ve played since halo. It’s just dumb fun.

      Ive been hooked on deadlock recently
