The Getaway works because of its sense of urgency and the gritty and unpleasant portrayal of London is so alluring. Can't get this with Watch Dogs: Legion. The Getaway makes Watch Dogs: Legion look like a pantomime for children.

[@xman777b]

The Getaway was THE upcoming PS2 benchmark title, everyone was looking forward to, prior to it's release. It received a lukewarm reception, however I thought it was solid (much like Driv3r) despite what the "experts" said. The Getaway 1, 2 are both prominent inclusions in my all-time Top 30 sealed PS2 collection.

Here is my 2 cents.

Thief 1, fallout 1, planescape torment, system shock 2, silent hill 2, bioshock 1, assassin's creed 2 and spec ops the line.

I revisited Skyrim recently and, while the stealth archer gameplay is phenomenal, it really is a bleak game. You can fix the washed-out visuals with the saturation mod, but there's no mod to give the game any genuine charm. If it was nothing but dungeons it would be fine, but considering what it wants to be (an immersive world with its own lore), I'd argue that Oblivion and Morrowind leave it in the dust.

Ghosts of Tsushima for me was one! I was so sad when I finished because I knew I wouldn’t have a game like that play for a long time.

I really enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima, but couldn't bring myself to finish it because I started getting bored. The combat is fantastic, as well as the story and visuals, but something about the gameplay itself turned me off. I think it got kind of repetitive, especially after finishing Act I. Side quests were tedious and boring imo, but I think I will come back and finish the game just because of the story alone. Did this ever occur to you?

For anyone that experienced the development from 2D to 3D in early 1990's with Doom, Quake, Descent, Heretic, Syndicate, DeusEx or multiplayer Q3Arena, BF2 or Rainbow 6 Raven Shield, newer titles will never be able to present that feeling again, i am just spoiled. The Descent Demo shareware version in 1994 was just mindblowing, contained 7 levels, and came on 3.5" floppy disks with a PC magazine. I actually shit myself playing Doom, and laughed until i cried on multi BF2, while amazing at the skill levels in multi Raven Shield or Q3. As good as many games are, the real magic happened many years ago and is long gone. I do agree on the Super Mario though 🙂 You could add Midtown Madness, or the Need 4 Speed version where you could mod the vehicles using a hex editor.

Donkey Kong country was amazing at the time. My entire years pocket money went to buy it! Is Zelda not in your top 10? Mine would be: Half life series Zelda link to the past Command & conquer red alert Portal 2 Halo Tomb raider Horizon series Age of empires Mario Galaxy Flimbos quest

[@SebastianGarcia-jx8lv]

​@@jbmurphy4Can you explain to me Halo's appeal? I tried so hard to like it but its way too repetitive (always the same goal shoot the covenant/flood but with different scenarios and if you're lucky vehicles) finished 3:odst and then saw 4 had the exact same 2000's gameplay with just better graphics and got to the conclusion these games are legendary cuz they where way ahead of their time but nowdays they just feel underwhelming and dated.

[@jbmurphy4]

@@SebastianGarcia-jx8lv i loved the pvp modes. I used to connect up my friends Xbox with a cross over cable & have great multi player sessions. Then we moved to online. To be honest I haven't played it for 13-14 years though.

[@spacepirate1449]

Those small conversations you have before a bossfight in starfox were epic and always made me feel nervous and wanted to destroy them even more. Especially the final boss, taunts you the most and is most satisfying to defeat. No other game gave me this satisfaction with defeating bosses. Btw nice video man! Just what I needed. Cause i was a bit lost when it comes to choosing a new game, now I remember what I like again.

So happy to see The Specialists get some love. Wish a major studio picked it up and gave us a modern remaster

[@tanzolo4487]

For me it’s : 1. Fighting games. Take your pick. Getting into that genre. And I mean really learning it at a competitive level. It deconstructs everything you think you know about gaming. And once you understand it. How to read and utilise framedata to your advantage, how to read other players and understand the intricacies of risk reward at that level. Once you realise frame perfect inputs and 40+ input button combinations are tied to muscle memory and aren’t as impossible as you thought, rather it just take detication. Hours of failing and persisting before you can do them blindfolded. That feeling when it all clicks. It is like seeing the Matrix for the first time. Like you’ve been lied to by these Soulslike elitist for years about the concept of what a hard game really is. It teaches you to get back up after you fall. Against other people. In an arena in wich you can not level up your character. You can not “cheese” a skilled player. It truly is an experience no game will give you (and yes, I platinumed Elden Ring. Love it, but it doesn’t come close). That genre, it’s the genre that seperates the boys from men. It also prepares you for life, in ways you never thought possible

Good video. A great, inspiring list of very good games that you have to see and play. Thank you for that. At this point, a short story from my own experience. I have enjoyed playing video games for 45 years, from the Atari to the C64, Amiga to the first used 386 PC in 1992, a new 486 in 1993 (you can imagine the rest...). My most unforgettable moment in relation to video games was in 1993, when a computer magazine included the shareware version of DOOM. That was amazing. Episode 1 'Knee Deep In the Dead' Level 1 'Hangar'. Unforgettable. I would have loved to have seen my face when the Marine loaded his gun and the horror started. A moment that changed everything. All demands were suddenly completely redefined. Have a nice one. ✌👍

I do not know your sir, but i feel like i have finally found a long lost friend. All of these games define my childhood (i"ll personally will add: Assassins creed 2, AC black flag, Far cry 4 and SSX3). But this list is like a flashback of my childhood, you sir have earned a subscriber.

[@MrRezRising]

I grew up on Colony Island in LC (aka Roosevelt Island in nyc). Getting to run around my childhood home in a GTA title was surreal to say the least. It topped finding my actual apartment building in Spider Man 2 by a mile. That one of the hardest missions is set on CI is a thrill (tip, use a speedboat to escape). I only have about 25 years of gaming, but those 25 years began when I was 30. Now, at 54, your video reminded me of what a long strange trip it's been. Won't list 'em, but Witcher 3 is my all timer. It helped that when I wasn't playing the game, I was reading the books (usually during those 90 sec load screens😂). Shadow of the C, Oblivion, and Dead by Daylight are toppers for me.
