Age of Empires III for me. Played that the most of all my games.

Very much enjoyed LA Noire and The Witcher 3 too.

That was a very good game.

The facial captures were top notch.

I recommend it.

The game mechanics in titles like this are elementary.  If you want a real challenge in gaming, play Trials Fusion.  Last of Us and Uncharted are all about showing off graphics on the ps4.  They're able to have great visuals at 60fps because there usually isn't much going on.  A lot of cut scenes and utter boredom.  Games should have some challenge to them, but this is your typical tap X game, hit Y to avoid getting stabbed in a cut scene.  Same with Metal Gear Solid.  The only reason these games do well is the abundance of utter geeks in the gaming world.  Look at World of Warcraft.  It looks like a game from 20 years ago and plays like one.
Shooters at least have a high skill element, but the cookie cutter gameplay in Last of Us and similar titles puts me to sleep.

The challenge is making something "cinematic" that isn't a linear corridor crawl

I'd take a far cry or skyrim 1000 x over a last of us, I want to make my own experience not play an interactive movie.

We disagreed on this long ago. Yeah the  facial detail was interesting but everything else was super boring. Moving the cursor around the screen, looking for clues, played a lot like many boring android play store find a clue games.  Choosing between 4-5 predetermined answers, until they were exhsusted wasny much fun. Driving around got boring. Zero replay value. Playing it today, it looks and feels ancient.

I like that play style myself.

It's the same reason why I enjoy the Phoenix Wright series.

While you may not like that style, they sold 6 million copies, so I'm sure they are happy with that.

Everyone has their own individual preferences on playing style. That's the thing about games.

I recently finished playing this game. Totally overrated in my opinion. I mean, yeah it's a pretty good game, solid story, awesome graphics but the gameplay gets boring at times.  :-\

People claiming this is the best game ever created... not sure about that.
I started playing it and got a good deal through before Witcher 3.  Its not that great at all in my opinion.  I don't like the forced track you are on and the gameplay does get really boring and tedious.  I do not like the lack of adversaries and I think they are poorly done as well.

I am a sucker for almost anything Mario.

Super Smash Brothers.

Phoenix Wright (the series is amazing)

The first Legend of Zelda will always be a favorite of mine.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo Champion Edition is my favorite fighter of all time.

Batman Arkham Asylum



However, if you're talking the last 10 years, my absolute 100% favorite game in the past 10 years is easy...

Red Dead Redemption


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Dead Redemption best ever.  I concur.  You and I share the same brain!

Witcher 3 is up there as well.

You will get bored of that game.  Its one of the most tedious games you ever will play and its really not that great at all.

You will be highly disappointed if you did not like Last of Us (which I didn't really) all that much. You have been warned!

I need to revisit this, as I've heard this here repeatedly, and from video game people I know in real life and trust.

It just never totally grabbed me.

It's slow in the beginning, but once you get to where you are taking the carriage rides to move around, you're set.

I did a bunch of missions with the exlir old guy.   But I was still on the horse, and got side tracked on some dumb missions.  I will have to get back into it before Halo 5 and MGS gets me.

But, who knows if they will.   I've been playing Far Cry 4 for about 5 months - never have the time to play.

I am one of those weird people that like to ride out to all of my missions and explore the scenery and environment.  I do the same in Witcher 3!

I like metal gear solid 3
Final fantasy 7 would be my all time fave though but street fighter 2 turbo is likely the game that stole most hours from me. Them again it was released before I discover the joys of vagina, cars, motorbikes and weightlifting (and was an adult and had to work)

Metal Gear Sold 3 is one of my favorite games ever, if not absolute favorite.  Epic storyline, final battle, music, everything.  2 hour boss fight vs The End.......fantastic game.

Loved FFVII as well, although gamers couldn't hand the series going mainstream.  Both games were totally engrossing.

Sniper battle versus The End is epic, you get so engrossed in it

My buddy beat it on his second try, so I went all out to get it right on my first try.  I had the flu and was home, so I literally crept around the entire landscape, listening, looking, etc..

At one point, the bastard actually crept up and got me, but I slipped off a short cliff that I was right on the edge of, so somehow I got away with that and wasn't captured.

After the last shot, I realized it took two whole hours.

Hideo Kojima actually made his developers / designers read sniper books and camp on the side of a mountain.  His goal was that, if he could get half the players to hate it, but have half the players LOVE it, he would have accomplished what he wanted.

I've only played the 1st and 4th Metal Gear games. The 1st one was ground breaking and epic. I was probably around 12 when it came out on the PS1.
It had such a cool theme as well:

Nothing of the new generation interests me really, nothing on ps4 has convinced me to buy it yet.

The Batman game has tempted me but I'll probably wait until Uncharted 4 is released next year.
