Somehow I don't think the magic will be captured again. I feel like games these days focus more on making it OMG ESPORT!!!!! instead of just naturally letting it go that way. If we consider the evolution of ESPORTs for some of the most successful franchises is that they weren't built to be, they just naturally had a high level of competition and that is why they evolved into tournaments and professional gaming. Sadly the magic is gone and the "science" is here. | ||

That was an adventure! ;p Considering the rules I laid out (one title per franchise) I would probably have to list Mario 64 over Super Mario World and I would definitely have that game no lower than my top 15. Don't get me wrong, I loved Super Mario World, it was the first game I ever had on my SNES, but in terms of 2D platformers Donkey Kong Country has it beat imo, the only thing that Mario has it beat in is size. Super Mario World is a massive game, to this day I've never fully completed it. | ||

I forget exactly what they were called but even before I found them I never found traveling was too much of a chore. Once you got the hang of all of the routes of the stilt striders and boats it was pretty easy to get around. Mage's Guild is also incredibly helpful for their teleport services especially to the Telvanni areas. and yes i like everyone else that ever played that grew to hate cliff racers. Boots of Blinding Speed. +200 Speed, 100% Blindness. Blindness was counteracted by Resist Magicka from spells + items + racial bonuses (Bretons etc). If you had 100% Resist Magicka at the moment you equipped them, you would get no Blindness and it would stay that way until you unequipped the boots. I loved playing that game and I loved exploiting the shit out of it when I was bored. | ||

Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is easily one of the best games out there right now and I literally cannot recommend a game more than it right now. Morrowind is a bit dated but it's story and gameplay are still great if you can tolerate the graphics. Rome is great and it's real cheap on steam too now, can pick it up and its expansion pack for like 10 bucks I think. Again dated graphics, if you want a more up to date title in the franchise I recommend Shogun 2 Total War or Rome Total War 2. one thing that I was warned about in Morrowind and it's kinda true is that you don't see misses lol. When I got the game and tried it for a bit, even if it looks like you hit someone since your blade went through them, that doesn't meant you actually hit them XD On September 01 2014 00:32 ninazerg wrote: I did not expect Donkey Kong Country 2 to be on the list, but good pick :p this. | ||

I loved playing that game and I loved exploiting the shit out of it when I was bored. It was not the Boots of Blinding speed. I know what those are and the boots I am thinking of are an Artifact buried inside one of the largest Daedric Ruins in Vvardenfell. I went and looked them up. They're called the Ten Pace Boots. | ||

The one thing Morrowind doesn't have that its descendents had was the unbelievable modding community (It existed but it wasn't nearly as extensive) that keeps Skyrim trucking along today. Assuming pc version (which should be mandatory for morrowind): http://www.mwmythicmods.com/Gluby/Gluby_Main.htm http://www.reddit.com/r/Morrowind/comments/19ycge/morrowind_modding_guide/ Morrowind has everything, though many of the old hosts have moved on to cover mostly skyrim. Especially sad about planet elder scrolls. Anyway, most everything is backed up on: http://mw.modhistory.com/ And there are still at least a few dozen who are still modding for the game. see: http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/ | ||

I've seen Mario 64 get a decent amount of hate nowadays (like it aged poorly or something) but it's my favorite mario game too. Just felt like it was a real joy moving around in that game hehe. | ||

I never actually got a chance to play Paper Mario, I've heard nothing but fantastic things about it though. As far as Mario Party goes, I think Mario Party 2 was probably my favorite one, something about the theme parties that just made it extra fun. | ||

You say that you like Fighting Games, but it looks like you don't have much experience with the genre. At least I drifted further and further away from the Street Fighter franchise the more I played Fighting Games. EX2+ is imo the best SF game, followed by Alpha 3. Rest of the list also wouldn't make my top 10 game list, except Broodwar. But I respect your opinion. | ||

My top 2 are exactly the same picks. BW is the best RTS and Zelda alttp, is the best speed-run game (and it is a very good game over-all as well). | ||

Bear in mind that the primary reason for Street Fighter 2: Turbo's ranking is that it was my first ever fighting game I ever owned, I owned the SNES version after playing it in arcade when I was a kid. I owned other versions of Street Fighter as I got older and of course I branched out to other fighting games as I got older with Super Smash Brothers Melee and Soul Caliber 2 being my favorites as a teen and adult, but none of that would've happened if I hadn't loved the hell out of my first Street Fighter title. | ||
