07.21.19 | "Everyone slept on this game back in 2012, it wasn’t a well-known franchise by any means"
lol what Far Cry 3 was one of the biggest releases of that year, it sold 10 million copies, which for any game over any amount of time is fucking MASSIVE
anyway bad list play more games |
naughtcturnal
07.21.19 | Bought far cry 3 during week of release and it was huge yeah, lol |
Gallantin
07.21.19 | I remember all my friends were super into Far Cry 2 and were hyping Far Cry 3 heaps and they convinced me to buy it day one and I don't think I ever even finished it |
Arditi
07.21.19 | Once it was out and the word got around how good it was it sold but I mean pre-release it was hugely overshadowed and not too many people were hyping it. Far Cry 2 can attribute most of its popularity to post-Far Cry 3. Everyone I know who has it only got it after Far Cry 3. |
Gallantin
07.21.19 | Probably because you seem young and don't know many people who were old enough to be really into the first two Far Cry games |
Gallantin
07.21.19 | I mean Far Cry as a franchise was sold entirely off the back of Crytek and their incredible technical achievements at the time, then Ubisoft milked it hard ever since |
ramon.
07.21.19 | kinda weird list and bioshock infinite is some hot garbage but jsrf is a great time and im glad to see someone appreciating it |

07.21.19 | "anyway bad list play more games"
Based.
Wind Waker is pretty cool tho, but the rest of the games here that I've played suck, and I've played all of them except for The Witcher 3. Oh, and that Star Wars game is alright.
Also, BioShock 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>> Infinite. |
Egarran
07.21.19 | I have 5 minutes on Witcher 3, I should probably try again.
But what is your favorite dungeon crawler?
And oh yes I played the fuck out of the first Far Cry. Graphically, it was leaps and bound beyond the competitions and the gameplay was awesome, until the later stages with [spoiler] space aliens. |
Doibhin69
07.21.19 | Witcher 3 should always be on best game ever lists |
GhandhiLion
07.21.19 | Yeah Infinite is a polished turd. |
naughtcturnal
07.21.19 | I thought Infinite was universally praised??!!! Never played it tho. Can't wait for System Shock to come back |
GhandhiLion
07.21.19 | ^it is praised yes. But so are games that try to be films e.g The Last of Us and that new God of War walking simulator |

Arditi
07.21.19 | Bioshock 1 & 2 aren't here because I never played them. |
J() Alexander
07.21.19 | That's probably why you like Infinite. On a more less humorous note, play them, at least 1; 2 is ok (better than Infinite for sure) but 1 is a m a z i n g ... Except for the end, but everything else before the big reveal is just so good (big reveal included). |
alamo
07.21.19 | deception is by far the best mk game, konquest mode was awesome af and shits hard on the "story" mode from the latest games (though mk9 was cool) |
Doibhin69
07.21.19 | They are all good in there own ways.. bioshock 1 > infinite > bioshock 2 |
budgie
07.21.19 | i tried playing bioshock when it came out and thought it sucked didn't finish |
budgie
07.21.19 | but that's probably because i have really high standards for video games (roller coaster tycoon 1, roller coaster tycoon 2, etc.) |
Meridiu5
07.21.19 | I had to stop playing 7 because of the banal storyline
I still play 5 even though the combat is subpar

J() Alexander
07.21.19 | Garou: Mark of the Wolves is probably the best fighting game I've played; it is my favorite at least. Other candidates for "best" would be Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Power Instinct: Matrimelee (this one is probably the most underrated game ever), Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Samurai Shodown V Special, Real Bout Fatal Fury, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, Darkstalkers 3, The King of Fighters '98, The King of Fighters XIII and Capcom vs. SNK 2. |

07.21.19 | "Mmmmmmmmmmm... If we're talking about the first one, yeah, for sure."
The story and atmosphere of the first one are certainly better, but its gameplay aged terribly compared to System Shock 2's. Even at its time it was unintuitive and kinda clunky |
J() Alexander
07.21.19 | Ehhhhh, I don't know, maybe a bit clunky and unintuitive, but only a bit, I didn't have too much problems with it. |

robotmagician
07.21.19 | no matter how many people try to justify it or explain it, the story to bioshock infinite makes absolutely no sense. vigors were pointless, and you spend all that time upgrading weapons and then have to switch them out because there is never any ammo. one of the worst games i’ve ever played |

J() Alexander
07.21.19 | I don't really care for any game in The Elder Scrolls series tbh. |
ramon.
07.21.19 | Garou is a perfect fighter. Even with a couple of clear S tiers, the game is quite wonderfully balanced, especially given its age. Looks fucking phenomenal too. Would personally add Tekken 7 to the list of candidates for best fighter given its nigh undoubtedly the best fighter being played in tournament right now. Darkstalkers VS and KoF 98 probably deserve mentions too. |
J() Alexander
07.22.19 | I could have sworn I had Vampire Savior there (editing my comment to include it). I did want to mention King of Fighters '98 but I thought that would have been a bit too many SNK games... Ah, fuck it, I'll add it when I edit the comment as well. And yeah, Tekken 7 is the best fighting game at the moment; the new Samurai Shodown is looking pretty good tho, so I may change my opinion later. |
budgie
07.22.19 | "I don't really care for any game in The Elder Scrolls series tbh."
i'm guessing you were just too young at the time. morrowind was maaaaagical when it came out. probably is a shitty game for anyone else though |
ramon.
07.22.19 | No such thing as too many SNK titles! Incredible company. |
samwise2000
07.22.19 | Bioshock is probably one of the best story oriented games ever. Some of my favourites at the moment are SMT IV, Dragon Quest 11, Tekken 7, and I've been replayed Final Fantasy VII because I got excited about the upcoming remake : ) |
J() Alexander
07.22.19 | Yeah, SNK is so good. Considering how good the new Samurai Shodown is, I have high hopes for the next King of Fighters. And I think I may add XIII to my list of favorites as well; that's where it'd end though. |
samwise2000
07.22.19 | I need a new Capcom vs. SNK... mark of the millennium 2001 is so damn fun to play with friends |
ramon.
07.22.19 | I’ve got a considerable amount more hours in Garou on my Switch than Central Fiction, and I adore BBCF. Obviously that’s partially due to how long Garou has been out on Switch but given the massive difference in available content, it’s still impressive how much fun there is to be had with such an old title. Makes me dream for a current day Capcom/SNK hand drawn title. |
J() Alexander
07.22.19 | "I need a new Capcom vs. SNK... mark of the millennium 2001 is so damn fun to play with friends"
It'll most likely never happen, unfortunately. Right now I don't remember what happened exactly, but I remember there were some problems during the development and release of SNK vs. Capcom, they kind of forced SNK to rush the game and on top of that Capcom ended up winning considerably more money from the games than SNK; I think someone from SNK said they would never consider doing a game with Capcom again. Also, even if that happened more than 10 years, the problem now is that SNK is kind of irrelevant, sadly, the FGC knows them, sure, and the new Samurai Shodown is doing well, but I'm not sure if Capcom would be interested. |
Gyromania
07.22.19 | Really good picks. Windwaker is my favourite Zelda too. Agreed hard that Witcher 3 > Skyrim. Far Cry 3 is easily the best in the series and it's noy even close. Currently going through Horizon - just got past the tutorial and I think it's supposed to be open world now. It's pretty good so far, def hope it gets better though |
J() Alexander
07.22.19 | Oh, I just noticed that Egarran asked something about dungeon crawlers. I'll take that as an opportunity to say that Shin Megami Tensei II is a pretty epic game and everyone should play it. |

07.22.19 | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
ramon.
07.22.19 | My guess with meridiu5’s comment is the game’s lack of willingness to actually stay true to the times with depictions of social dynamics (I.e. racism, sexism, etc) which, while likely would contribute to the immersion of the game world, both
a) doesn’t redeem the game from being a dumpster fire and
b) could be argued to be a nonissue given the game takes place in a fictional fantasy rendition of the era |

Well, because BioShock 1 is better. A better question would be: why fight over any of those games when Quake 1 exists? Now, that's a really fucking good game. |

07.22.19 | Nothing can beat the original Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy as far as sheer fun is concerned, and the same goes for sooo many Mega Drive games (Gunstar Heros, Streets of Rage 2, Rocket Knight Adventures....etc).

I also first played it with The Orange Box. The closest facet to perfect I can think of would be the way its narrative is presented, but everything else feels incredibly archaic. The physics system, while wonderfully rendered, is implemented in a very rudimentary and gimmicky way. The combat wasn't even the top of the pack the year HL2 originally released (Unreal 2004, Halo 2, Tribes Vengeance, Far Cry 1, to name a few) and it is by far my least favorite aspect of the game which is a shame given how prevalent combat is. The pacing between levels feels quite inconsistent and there are entire segments of the game I wish I could skip every time I return to it. A lot of this can be explained away with the context, and I can fully concede to it being a perfect 2004 title. But idk if I could personally say it was perfect in 2007, let alone 2019. |
