this list is so vanilla… im surprised you didn't just go "eldern ring" "skyrim" "fallout 3" etc.
Funny to bring up bloodborne. I’m playing on the Lantern Engine right now and it’s CRAZY to play BB with 120 fps smooth as hell on my FRICKIN PC
I didn’t realize that part of why I sucked so bad at first is bcuz I was playing 30 FPS lol
I think it may take spot of my GOAT from KOTOR now that I’m replaying it
5:24 no other game has ever invoked more joy for me than Bioshock. That game will always be my favorite of all time.
Bloodborne didn't age like wine, it's pure honey.
I credit Burnout: Takedown's soundtrack for expanding my musical horizons as a kid. San Andreas gets an Honorable Mention.
Final Fantasy Tactics is always on my list of games that hold up
Time really is a funny thing. At the time, AC: Origins was lauded as a refreshing expansion and elaboration on the Assassin’s Creed formula. Before this, most had written off the series as formulaic and having run its course. Go back and look at the original reviews for Origins sometimes, it was very well received. I feel like this version of the Assassin’s Creed didn’t really start getting pushback and rejected as a mistake until Valhalla.
Assassin's Creed Origins was one of the 2 AC's I fully finished the other being AC2. The story of Bayek was both one of the most emotional and one of the most memorable. The map was BIG but it didn't feel impossible to finish. I did 100% map completion while going through the story since a lot of the games mechanics revolved around "knowing" your surroundings. It felt like the perfect size, once you realized a lot of it was just desert. The added stories of the DLC and side missions were fantastic. I wish I could play it again for the first time. I hated Odyssey and Valhalla, they felt never ending, a bloated mess of added things the game didn't need. I got to Asgard in AC Valhalla and I rolled my eyes at the sight of those gigantic castle towers under the world tree and at the thought of having to climb them made me let out an "oh no" groan. Then I went to see how many maps the game was it was 11. The game has 11 maps with 3 river raid maps. I was at 108 hours and uninstalled. I was nowhere near the MIDDLE of the game. AC:O Finished in 120 hours and it felt like the right amount of time for an AC game.
Man, we peaked in the PS4/XBox one era… the graphic improvemens since then are so irrelevant.
need for speed was my racing game. and my fighting game has always been tekken. both these games are great because you can play them without mastering them.
The BioShock intro is just the Half Life 2 intro underwater.
There is a PC version of Bloodborne and it's great!
Sleeping Dogs was as close as you could get to a perfect game
I don't hate Sleeping Dogs however, the True Crime Series will always have my heart. The crazy over the top levels, the stupid jankiness, and the wild police stuff made it awesome to me at least. Again, I don't hate on Sleeping Dogs just prefer True Crime plus, I still play True Crime, I don't really play much of Sleeping Dogs.
14:57 one problem in MGSV is the power creep. Your power creep. After one or more hundred hours playing, there's still lots of content to play (including the online invasions), but you're waaaay overpowered with all the gadgets, weapons, allies, etc. The game is still good, great even, but it becomes a really different game after a certain point. And we kinda can never go back to its early stages unless with an self inflicted challenge that will go against much more powered enemies, so it won't even be the same thing
BioShock was one of the most visually astounding games that I have ever played on release. It still looks beautiful almost 20 years later.
Im not sure if any level structure will ever beat the original Dark Souls
Assassin's Creed Origins is my favourite by a big margin, the Hidden Ones DLC really does make you feel as if you are right at the beginning of the Creed.
One best FPS RPGs of all time I've played which is surprisingly a forgotten game . Maybe because it was online only and the TV serries for it was canceled
That game was Defiance (ps4) not to be confused with the broken next gen remastered version which put nail in it's coffin getting it cancelled .
Not only did game have all gun types with attachment modifications for muzzle , scope ,reloader ect each had huge number of ammo effects and weapon ammo systems almost twice thanof border lands from firing smart missiles in sky that wait for you to lock on to target for airstrike , to firing parasites that explode from dead enemy to attack nearest enemy , to plasma weapons that go through multiple wall surfaces until it hits organic target ,remote /promximity /sticky explosive rounds , splash damage bouncing dummy explosive rounds ricochet bullets , many element bullets , flame / ice and ion plasma throwers ect ect . And that's excluding the ego skill system including turrets extended armour and stealth and teleportation abilities .
Cavil being too old does actually make sense if you plan on making multiple movies, just as the previous ones
Wait MGSV is ELEVEN YEARS OLD? OH FU&K…
I miss Burnout 3: Takedown man. 😢
Still playing borderlands 2 in 2026, it is one of my favorites along with metal gear 4 and 5 and assassin's creed
Doom is criminally underrated af. People still create and share mods for that game in a dedicated community till this day!
MGSV has the best controls. It feels like you can do anything from stealth to full out attack
I think Konami needs to hire animae writers to finish MGS5.
late to the comment party… y'all need to give some love to some old genre defining games like Final Fantasy Tactics. Still one of the best turn based tactical RPGs ever made. Damn near defined the genre.
Imagine if they revived Burnout! No micro-transactions, nothing locked behind a paywall, just a great single player game! That is something I long for. 🤠👍
Owlcat's are legends! I love what they do. We can see the care they put in what they do.
Rogue Trader is one of the best RPG. One of my favorites. WotR is so good. I'll have to try Kingmaker.
They'll keep us busy this winter and spring! 🤘
11:11 I’m a 2D believer! Metroid Dread is one of my top 5 in the last 10 years!
"gameranx_Private_Chat" is this related?
Maybe more recent, but DOOM 2016 still goes hard AF
Thank you for including game names in the chapter, much easier than no chapters or just numeric chapters. Please continue to do this.
Played Sleeping Dogs earlier this year and that game just felt good. Loved the design of it, and the storyline is still awesome.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
F.E.A.R. – Fight Enemy And Repeat
I think the first God of War from 2005 is a masterpiece…and maxed out all PS2 graphic possibilities. Can't be missing in any list.
Remember Ultimate Destruction?
The Batman Arkham trilogy is top tier! I couldn't really get into AC Origins which is weird because I absolutely LOVE AC Odyssey which is basically the same game but set in Greece.
Damn I put in so many hours into MGS V, still a blast to revisit.
Bioshock 1: How capitalism fails.
Bioshock 2: How communism fails.
Bioshock Infinite: How nationalism fails.
Burnout 3 Takedown is the objectively best Burnout game, I'll die on that hill.
I still think BL2 is the best of the borderlands games, and handsome Jack is one of the best villains of all time
Bioshock #1 was so good
AC Origins was one of the most immersive gaming experiences I’ve ever had, and kicked off a year-long fixation for me on Egypt.
It and Unity (revolutionary Paris) are top-tier in that respect, gameplay aside.
Gaming is the highest expression of art. Unfortunately we live in the souless corporate slop era. Where any deviation is punished and we get the same corporate aprove slop for each game.
While I thought AC Odyssey was the better game than Origins, the setting of ancient Egypt might be my favorite of any AC game. Exploring ancient Egypt just felt so good and was constantly breathtaking.
