I guess thats good because most people wont.Returnal; you don't even have to beat it to appreciate it's masterful gameplay.

Neogaf loves too much...aaaand one page later we basically have every single game ever released in here. What does that tell us?
Even the cover, in 3 colors, has a stronger story than most games could wish to have.
I was just thinking about original Thief Trilogy also Dishonored 1 is up there for me. Amazing games tbh.
It's such a wonderful and brilliant game from start to finish. Great storytelling, amazing soundtrack and flowy gameplay. It's perfect.Ori: Will of the Wisps

One of the original answers to the question, "Can a videogame make you cry?", The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a must-play-through IMO for a few reasons.
One reason is, you can play through it; this game is Game Boy-length (although it's a significantly-sized quest for its time and its hardware) and everything about it is carefully balanced to make sure most players can finish it if you put your mind to it. Two, it teaches you a lot about game design through its meticulously crafted levels and puzzles (which have to avoid being broken when new items change your locomotion capabilities,) its continuously world-expanding gameplay mechanics, and its simple but effective context switches for dialog trees (and if you play the Game Boy original, you can see even further how they managed to squeeze out of massively-restricted hardware a complex and visually pleasing action-adventure.) Three, it's charming and fun! And four, that ending can really tug at your heartstrings if you have been properly connected to this world and these characters, and unless your soul is dark and impenetrable, you should be able to find yourself in here.
I haven't played the Switch remake yet, but it's a surprisingly faithful remake (they managed to make the world look rich and feel big while still generally adhering to the original GB maps; it's widescreen yet the layouts of dungeons are somehow preserved) and could be worth checking out even though it does not add new gameplay or content to this almost 30-year-old game. Otherwise, instead of spending $60 on the remake, spend $6 on Link's Awakening DX (with the color upgrade and special additional color puzzles) for 3DS... or just get however you get old games these days. IMO, this is the Zelda game all gamers should start with; the NES original hold up in many ways but can be clunky and obtuse to play these days (it was in its own time too, but gamers put up with a lot more back then, plus they had Nintendo Power whenever they got stuck,) its sequel is an intriguing aberration but not a wholescale place to start, and as good as all-timers like Zelda: A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild obviously are, Link's Awakening is a distillation and perfect capsule of what this franchise is and means to gamers.
The medium has evolved and those older games are simply unplayable now. Who the fuck wants to play GTA 2 over Red Dead 2?See folks, this is what this thread is about.
Seeing so many movie-games from the last <10 years getting a mention is depressing, but I guess it’s the price of getting old.
I think Super Mario Galaxy deserves a mention.

Video games arent like movies, they dont age like wine. They become unplayable and outdated.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't even try it yet! I keep hearing the praise for it, is it good even for people who don't usually play RPGs?
Sorry no...Wonderful 101 is an acquired taste. Its not for everyone.Hey GAF, what are games so good that everyone should beat them at least once in their lifetime? For me, here are a few:
The Wonderful 101 (Wii U original recommended, if you can't get a hold of it then get Remastered)- This game is a masterpiece. It's gameplay immaculate, it's plot sucks you in, along with the music and art style. Is my Game of the 8th Gen.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles- Another masterpiece, it's spectacle for a 2D platformer has to be seen to be believed, and tells it's story masterfully without any dialogue or VA.
Resident Evil 2- Perfect game to introduce people to survival horror.
Megaman X4- Perfect game to introduce Megaman series to.
Those are some of mine...what about you GAF? What are your games that are so good that everyone should beat them at least once in their lifetime?

I just started playing this on Switch. I stopped playing it right after beating the Prologue last night. It was so epic I almost just want to stop for good, I feel like the rest of the game is probably going to disappoint now. hahaNier automata

Don't worry, even the final credits roll doesn't disappointI just started playing this on Switch. I stopped playing it right after beating the Prologue last night. It was so epic I almost just want to stop for good, I feel like the rest of the game is probably going to disappoint now. haha
Graphically it looks like garbage but MGS1 is still a masterpiece.The medium has evolved and those older games are simply unplayable now. Who the fuck wants to play GTA 2 over Red Dead 2?

This is the answer.The Last Of Us 2
This is the best Prince game and one of best metroidvanias ever.
I’ve played the forgotten city over this with my time back then.
No.This is the answer.
New gamers are little kids and little kids are cringe.And people are posting these early nes games that realistically no new gamer is going to play
No, you aren't.I never played any Zelda and I am fine.
I'm sill doubting to this day.I was a pc guy in the 90s
Okay, based. But Blood is better.so if we play like that I should say duke nukem 3d
They‘re all beautiful snowflakes....aaaand one page later we basically have every single game ever released in here. What does that tell us?
