Video Games - All Time Classics

Soldiers and Savages,


Good morning and happy Monday!


Almost took that sick time PTO today with this sinus pressure but fuck it...let's tough it out on the phones!


Anyway, was wondering to hear what everyone's favorite video games are...favorite of all time that is. Tried looking for some similar threads with the search bar but every post focused on video prospecting and not video games, so I apologize if there is any redundancy here.


My top three of all time have to be Fallout 3, Halo 2, Red Dead Redemption 2.


At Ease.


P.S. Any OSRS fans in the house? Would love to hear about the grind.


Edit: Figured it would make sense to add the poll in on the thread as well, excited to see what everyone prefers to play on!

What's your go-to?

Zelda: Ocarina of time. Greatest RPG game of all time. This isn’t a debate

although I agree with you 10000% - Zelda is not a RPG

I mean it could be considered a bare bones rpg as many RPGs are action-adventure. Nevertheless you roleplay the entire game as Link...so I'd say it's debatable

It's not debatable at all lol you just don't know what an RPG is.

I role play as Derrick Henry. Is Madden an RPG?

In that context, and with you trying to be smart, Madden most certainly is a roleplaying game. You pretend to be Derrick Henry in the game, and if he's the only player you're controlling, then that is called role-playing. You're playing the role that he is in. By definition, you just clarified that Madden is a role-playing game in a certain light. You also create your own character that can level up and customize the entire experience. So yes, madden while being a sports simulation is a fucking role-playing game when you play be a pro or any mode like it. 

I guess there will always be that guy who tries to start an argument about the most frivolous things. Ironically, you didn't even contribute to the post and let us know what games you like to play, just came in to start an argument about a game that's over 25 years old lol. Sit down...

....and what I mean is it most certainly has the elements of an RPG, while being an action-adventure game. I guess you're unfamiliar with the term bare-bones. Call it a hybrid and go close another deal!

Yes I can understand why you say that. Just care that you agree that it is a great game/greatest of all time.

I played it a ton with the hand-me-down N64. Will always hold a special place in my heart for being the first RPG I ever got my hands on.

Oregon Trail was the pride of grammar school... never played the hard disk version, unfortunately.


Were you a fan of BOTW? I thought it was a masterpiece. Couldn't put it down. Definitely deserves a mention. Prob the best Zelda since Ocarina in my opinion.

Never got into BOTW!

If you never played the hard disk version then you never lived with the irrational fear that the computer would eat your hand (I am dating myself with this comment)

My favorite recent ones: Breath of the wild, red dead redemption and days gone.

My favorite legacy ones

I like the recent/legacy idea! Breath of the wild had to be one of the best RPGs to come out in recent years...it was too good to put down

For sure, I played more than 500 hours and still missed 1 seed.

Legacy games would have to be golden eye, ocarina of time and the first fallout game on PC. 

Recent games would probably be red was 2, breath of the wild, rainbow six siege

Gold eye!!! I loved that game, I was too young to really get into it but even watching my older cousins playing it was a blast!

Oh I've watched it multiple times at this point. Highly recommend. 

I think they were relatively strapped on budget for the first season, but it did extremely well. So for the next season I've heard they're going for more of a GoT cinematic world. Very real-looking.
