Greatest video game ever played?
(lemmy.world)
Portal (1&2)
Dwarf Fortress.
They're even making sequels to "the carp stands up" now. They added exercise to the game, and now carps get fucking ripped as fuck just swimming upstream, so when they start walking on land they're there to just destroy you and everything you hold dear.
I wasn't going to say df but I'm realising now after thousands of hours in that game there's STILL new things to learn, that was a wild ride thank you
What a lazy ass question
Agreed, without better defined scope the question is just asking for:

Its a fun read but its already available.
Damn 2004 was a banger of a year for video games.

Nothing left to see here folks. Question answered correctly. Let's all move along.
Minecraft. Even with all the shitty updates there is so much to be done in Minecraft that it’s honestly mind boggling. Almost anything is possible especially with mods. Only downside is Microsoft’s greedy ass owns it

Boulderdash II on C64.
And later, Emerald Mine on the Amiga. So many hours of my life, gone.
I never had a C64 and was pretty jealous of this series.
I played a few DOS based clones and various ports and they were pretty cool but from what I've seen everything they've done with the franchise since 2000 has been soulless.
Team Fortress 2
Barbie horse adventures
Cyberpunk 2077 for me, it has everything, an amazing story with great characters, fantastic gameplay, a banger soundtrack, and an interesting world that's fun to explore and feels like a real place.
Detroit: Become Human
It was the only story ever that has pulled me in completely. I wasn't just playing it, I was living it. It took me 2 more days to come down to earth after finishing it.
Star Control 2
The Ur-Quan Masters
Free Stars
Deus Ex
My favorite game, the game I can always come back to, is The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind
Wealth beyond measure, sera.
WHAT A GRAND AN INTOXICATING ANSWER
Grim Fandango. Despite the weird tank controls, it created such an amazing world - and all in a point-and-click adventure. My home PC is named Manny, our NAS is Eva, the router/firewall is Glottis, and so on.
Also, Psychonauts. Just a perfect 3D platformer.

Breath of the wild.
Played it on a friends new Switch and bought a Switch and that game three days later. I was so immersed in this weird and wonderful world...
The Mass Effect Trilogy. By the time I was fighting in London I wondered where this game had been all my life.
Metal Gear Solid 3
Vagrant Story.
That game is one of my saddest histories. As a bit to young to play it I bought it and found it immensely boring just slogging through the dungeon at the start. Didn't understand the weapon system. Eventually after several tries I got into the city proper but couldn't handle that first boss fight. Put it aside and never picked it back up again. Still have the game somewhere. No PSOne tho'
Similar story for me. I bounced off this game several times, going back to it repeatedly because (to this day) Matsuno's games are some of my all-time favorites. Then maybe 15 years after release, I realized I'd stopped just short of the crafting station which was such a strong hook for me I ended up with multiple spreadsheets!
Unfortunately, as I began to realize as I delved into the game, it had a lot in common with looter ARPGs, a genre that ages so rapidly. I probably would have loved the game back in 2000 but didn't give it enough of a chance back then. By the time I did, it was just too dated.
You need to carry one of each weapon type. Unlike most games you can't brute force through weapon resistances.

Portal
Breath of the Wild
Alan Wake 2
I'll probably always think that Tetris is the greatest video game ever. The inherent dramatic arc that comes with watching the blocks stack up is tension directly within you the player, not you watching tension unfold for characters on the screen. It's different every time, even if the shape of the arc is similar, because you improve as a player. It's the kind of emergent involvement the most designers could only aspire to create.
That said of course Shadow of the Colossus is also a favorite. That one probably feels a little more obvious, but I'm okay with that.
Mel Gibson's Safari 3
No love for Washing Machine Emulator?
Slay The Spire. Really excited for the sequel.
Tomb Raider 1.
I'm replaying the remastered trilogy for the first time since I was a teenager. The level design is outstanding. Very clever re-use of the same areas, just at different heights.
It's inspiration from side-scroller prince of persia (also played this obsessively as a young child) is palpable. The movement system is revolutionary.
And the enemy progression is hilarious. First you fight some bats, then you fight some wolves, then you fight motherfucking Velociraptors, then a goddamned T-Rex. And thats not even close to the weirdest enemy you'll fight. Boss battles are evenly spaced until they aren't. when you have two boss battles immediately one after the other.
And then eventiually, you get to the pulsating flesh caves...

Space station 13
Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary
Shame about nearly everything else Sega has done to the franchise since.
Asking for the "greatest" sounds quite pretentious
It's probably why people are downvoting this thread
I’d say Baldur’s Gate 3.
With Demons’ Souls a close second. For those of us who got to play that game before Dark Souls became a thing, when we knew next to nothing about what to expect, it was an almost revelatory experience.
Baldurs Gate 1. D&D Lv. 1-7 campaigns are the best
No idea. Too many to pick from.
Last of Us part 2.
Recently, I would say Roadwarden, was such a great game with such a unique feel to it.
Biggest surprise: Final Fantasy tactics. Bought it for PSOne, PSP and Android.
Time spent playing: WoW
Story: (though category to pick one) Deus Ex
Honorable mentions: Day of the Tentacle Minecraft Final Fantasy VII Diablo Mass Effect series Portal series Half Life series

Riftsmud.net:4000
I was always a discworld mud player... Lots of time there. But I bounced around many :-P
I tried finding others but kept coming back to the one. Helped that i read a lot of fantasy and they used a lot of content i was already familiar with, but it was also the remorting system that entranced me
