You get to play one videogame for the first time again. What you picking?
You get to play one videogame for the first time again. What you picking?
Okay. If you could play any videogame again for the first time, what would it be?
Portal.
I'll never forget the day I started playing this game. It was so cool and so different from anything else I had played that I couldn't stop playing, and finished the game in one session. Awesome night!
Mass Effect 1.
The first encounter with the Reapers, with Sovereign, is such an incredible moment. These horrifying, unkillable deities that can't be reasoned with or stopped that just want to destroy was so intimidating on the first playthrough.
The reveal about the mass relays and how they guided tech advancement was incredible too.You exist because we allow it. You will end because we demand it.
Half-Life, hands down.
Definitely fallout New Vegas, just amazing game.
Horizon Zero Down. My favorite game ever.
Probably Deus Ex.
If I could also not have played Half Life, I'd like a do-over of Black Mesa. Don't get me wrong, HL is still brilliant, but the Xen section of BM is just chef's kiss
Factorio. I had actually become aware of how fun building games could be through Prison Architect a couple years prior. But Factorio took it to a whole other level. Extraordinary freedom and near limitless things to do -- it's distilled, weaponized, dangerously addictive fun for people who have engineering brains
Bioshock, more importantly, that scene
Subnautica, easiest answer for me!
The Last of Us 1 & 2
Factorio. I had so much fun figuring out all the stuff it throws at you and making a mess of spaghetti beacuse you couldn't predict what was next to sort things out.
Would have loved to play some of the early 360 games online including Halo back in there prime. I just didn't have good enough internet for it to be playable back then.
Oblivion. Probably sunk 1000 hours sucking every last drop of dopamine out of that game.
Easy, the game that started it all for me - Zork.
Celeste, because dang are those platforming controls so good.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Halo 3 back in its heyday without question. The hours and hours spent grinding ranks in playlists and playing custom games is some of the best times I’ve ever had in gaming.
Star Fox 64
I just mentioned this the other day to someone, so the first one which comes to mind is Zero Escape: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors.
Bioshock and Silent Hill 2
Edit: also a very old and very obscure PC game called AMBER: Journeys Beyond. Basically, you had to go check on your collegue and do some ghost hunting and puzzle solving to save her
#BreathOfTheWild & #TearsOfTheKingdom
For #ToTK, I should not have even looked at the gameplay footage. I want to erase everything from my mind and rediscover everything!
Knights of the Old Republic
Dark Soul 1, especially finding new shortcuts and new hidden things
The Witcher 3. Still love it after multiple playthroughs, but miss the feeling of exploratory wonder when I didn't have the map memorized.
Okami hands down. This is the only game that I've bought for multiple consoles. The art style and solid game play age beautifully and the game is still as much fun today as it was when it first came out.
Final Fantasy IX. Played it about 4 times in my life now, but I'd love to experience it again for the first time.
Metal Gear Solid!
RDR2. Still the only game I ever took a day off for on launch day.
Other than RDR for its story, probably Minecraft with mods. So many thousands of hours with my friend...
TLOU
Super Metroid
Nier Automata
I would say RDR2 or TLOU, both left such an impact on me after I beat them. Prob is now I remember the story so it doesn’t have that surprise or shock factor. I really wish I could use the MiB memory wipe stick sometimes.
Layers of Fear. Limbo. Inside.
OneShot
The Last of Us. Even when the credits rolled the first time I knew it would never hit exactly the same again
Super Mario Bros.
Quest for Glory 1, VGA version
Max Payne
Escape from Tarkov. The fear and the confusion was so overwhelming. I look back on it fondly :D
#TheWitness
#OuterWilds
#TunicAll for the same reason: What you learn and discover as a player is part of the game. You can't start a new game from scratch unless you get amnesia.
Final Fantasy Tactics. I've been trying to recreate the feeling of beating Dorter for first time for YEARS.
Original Doom, DOS prompt and all
Half life and half life 2. The first time I ran through the storyline was like no other game I've played.
Edited my typo
Definitely Demon's Souls.
I was so bored with games, and had been playing everything on the hardest setting trying to make games more fun. A friend of mine recommended Demon's Souls and it was instant joy!
A Link to the Past
Final Fantasy XIV. I wish I could forget the story to experience it all over, but it'd also be nice to not remember some of the old things I miss too. Ignorance is bliss and all.
Hollow Knight, easily. Most any Metroidvania would qualify, but HK is really something special in those regards.
Ultima VII
It was the first RPG where I felt you could really interact with the world. The story was great too.Fallout 3, I spend good hours and hours escaping from real life me.
Shadow of the Colossus.
it'll always be ocarina of time because that game really kickstarted my intense love for gaming in general
Devil May Cry 3.
Silent Hill 2, minus any spoilers from the internet. That game is a masterpiece
I had never heard of it when a coworker introduced me to it 10+ years ago. I knew nothing going into it, and then I played it obsessively from beginning to end. It was nearly impossible to find even then.
Return of the Obra Dinn. Discovering the story and mystery for the first time, putting the pieces together, looking for clues and drawing conclusions, it was a fantastic experience that can never be repeated so long as you remember even fragments of it.
Child of Light
FIFA 1998
Half-Life: Alyx and/or Portal 2
- Horizon: Zero Dawn
- The Outer Wilds
- Doki Doki Literature Club
- Death Loop
- Death Stranding
Pokemon and Skyrim
Either Paper Mario 2 or Terraria.
Portal. I completed it in a single sitting. The audio bugged and I had no voiceover. I had no idea what I was missing out on. Not the same on the second play tbh.
