Anon has some questions

GTA being included in these sucks because it's usually not the best game, it's just the one that the people who don't actually play games have heard of and enjoy lmao

Shadow of the colossus stuck with me for a looong time post game, even with the minimal storyline

San Andreas is a god amongst these games.

The first 4 games are peak horror. They do shit to fuck with you sense of direction and auditory perception that no other game has done since it’s so peak

Yes I know, but I don't get what the root commenter meant by "is unexplainable"

RE4 on the Wii was one of the most addicting games I've ever played. Love it still.

honorio2099@reddit

Metal Gear Solid 3 is easily one of the best games ever made in history, in all senses lol (and I love ALL the games here...)

[-]

oni_no_onii-chan@reddit

I personally liked mgs2 more but definitely get the mgs3 love. Mgs2 story gets more vindicated every year.

If their studio doesn't take 4 decades per game to produce, shadow of colossus could be influential in industry rest of the games there.

Sotc is such a masterpiece that cannot be ever replicated or even have a sequel. I feel fortunate to have had experienced it in my lifetime

[-]

Professor_Gucho@reddit

Never saw games the same way again when I first played sotc. Been looking for that high ever since

[-]

Be-Zen@reddit

Honestly, experiencing that sense of scale on a ps2 at the time was mind blowing as a kid.

I played the PS4 remake too and man was it a solid throwback. They did an excellent job

Hawt_Dawg_II@reddit

Objectively speaking the best one. Even if you don't like it, it changed open world games forever

[-]

DiabeticRhino97@reddit

Not what objectively means, but you are on Reddit so it's what I expect.

[-]

Hawt_Dawg_II@reddit

Well i mean the word best is subjective i guess.

But "best" in media terms usually just means most commercially succesful which means it's GTA

[-]

sprouthat@reddit

absolutely moronic method for determining the best

[-]

Hawt_Dawg_II@reddit

To most people marvelslop is the best. That's why so many people go to see those movies.

We have a different word for "best in your opinion". that's called a favourite.

It just pisses me off to see people go "which is the best?" and then mean "which one did you like the most?" Those are not the same and people should fucking learn the difference.

[-]

It was better than Vice City but not really substantially different from Vice City either. Tbh if you want to point to a game that "unlocked" open world games it was probably Assassin's Creed proving that the GTA design formula could work outside of GTA-ripoff modern settings. Now whether or not that's a good thing considering it was also the birth of Ubislop is up for debate, but there was little about San Andreas that actually iterated and it was mostly just bells and whistles + a cooler setting and some goofier quests.

Judging best based on what changed the most is just flawed. You'd have to have MGS2 on here instead of MGS3 even though almost everyone likes 3 more.

[-]

iVar4sale@reddit

All of these games are great but San Andreas is on another level

[-]

Krycek7o2@reddit

San Andreas in hindsight, was just overstuffed. Not a terrible game either, epic music and a fund and dumb story, and Wu Zi was legit.

So happy 4 came out and brought things down to a more concise level. 4 to me, reigns supreme as the best GTA.

[-]

pVom@reddit

It's funny to me that GTA 4 gets so much love these days. For a long time it was disliked for cutting so many cool features in san Andreas and taking itself too seriously.

Personally I found san Andreas to be much better, I found 4 boring, missions were unimaginative and I didn't care for the characters or story. The episodes were better on this regard.

But neither of them really hold up anymore beyond a quick nostalgia hit.

[-]

syqesa35@reddit

I can replay every other one but San Andreas got old.

[-]

The_Vizier@reddit

Because you replayed it the most

[-]

syqesa35@reddit

I think I've replayed dmc 3 more and RE4 waaaaaay more and I could go at it again right now.

[-]

HowwNowBrownCoww@reddit

As much as I love San Andreas, same

[-]

Recykill@reddit

Not really lol. It did not age well at all. Meanwhile, going back to Snake Eater feels great still. Tbh youd think San Andreas and Snake Eater were made in 2 different consoles lol

[-]

Paratrooper101x@reddit

Silent hill 2 stands alone in its genre. Can San Andreas say the same?

[-]

azureblueworld99@reddit

Yeah, it’s worse than all of them

Syr_Bwrodley@reddit

That's the beauty of it, all those games play differently, therefore in their own, every single one is the best.

[-]

NoabPK@reddit

Og re4 with tank controls is meh so i gotta go with mgs3 cause its more of a complete game than dmc3

[-]

TrashSaw@reddit

Dark Souls 2

[-]

MegatonDoge@reddit

I'd pick Shadow of the Colossus

[-]

DreamsServedSoft@reddit

I want to but I’ll never play that game again. RE4 wins again

[-]

MegatonDoge@reddit

Blame the Ps2 library for being so great that you have to compare a masterpiece to another masterpiece. The joke is that someone might add 10 more games like FFX or GoW 2, and you'd see people picking different favorites.

[-]

leftoverrice54@reddit

There was nothing like Shadow of the Colossus when it came out. Nothing pulled me into a world quite like that one.

[-]

DiabeticRhino97@reddit

RE4

[-]

smeely7t63@reddit

In terms of actual gameplay its re4 or dmc 3. In terms of interesting story or cinematic stuff it's SOTC, MGS3 or SH2.

[-]

Bowdallen@reddit

RE4 is the one i will be replaying for the rest of my life.

Can't say it's objectively the best but it is the most fun to me.

[-]

Dankie002@reddit

san andreas

Street_Customer7466@reddit

resident evil 4 and it's not even close

[-]

GlizzyGilbert69@reddit

Trick question, all of them

[-]

bman123457@reddit

Shadow of the Collosus is probably the highest quality game of the ones listed here. It was way ahead of its time and tells a story in a way that is distinct to video games as a medium.

While GTA San-Andreas has aged much worse in my opinion and also is pretty low brow in the story telling department I also dont think its possible to overstate its influence on the game industry and the scale and interactivity of its open world was unprecedented at the time so I definitely respect the opinion that SA is the best game here as well.

[-]

cumble_bumble@reddit

Give me RE4

[-]

Vox_SFX@reddit

Shadow of the Colossus

Only one listed here that isn't a direct sequel or later entry in a franchise. Not even close really unless you're choosing off of nostalgia alone.

[-]

SevenSaltySnakes@reddit

As a MGS lover and die hard Snake Eater fan, Resident evil 4 is easily the best of the 6.

[-]

dagot23@reddit

SOTC or MGS3.

[-]

Coelachantiform@reddit

Having only played 3 of these I'll have to go with MGS3.

The Metal Gear series is simply peak in like 4 different ways.

[-]

ptjp27@reddit

The MGS games: 10/10

The MGS games when you realise the dialogue is just snake repeating what they say back to them with a question mark: 5/10.

[-]

Coelachantiform@reddit

Yes Snake, the metal gear video game franchise does contain a lot of repeated dialogue!

[-]

ptjp27@reddit

Repeated dialogue?

[-]

Coelachantiform@reddit

Yes, Snake: repeated dialogue. It is a narrative technique that emphasizes clarity, especially in situations where information might be otherwise hard to hear if heard only once.

[-]

ptjp27@reddit

Hard to hear?
