I am just curious about people’s taste here, since this community looks sane compared to other “loony-toons” gaming subs or forums online.

You don’t need to explain yourself just name them.

Thanks

    I lost the ability to have top 5 games lists anymore. But I can list 5 games that meant everything to me, in the sense that they are kind of my favorite games of all time. But that does not mean they are the best games.

    • Legend of Zelda: A Link To the Past (Super Nintendo, 1991/92)
    • Final Fantasy 6 (Super Nintendo, 1994)
    • Final Fantasy 7 (Playstation, 1997)
    • Metal Gear Solid (Playstation, 1998/99)
    • Overwatch (PC, 2016)

    My experience goes back to the 80s, so choosing 5 would be mostly the impactful ones. These games mean a lot to me. I have deep connection to them through my youth, besides Overwatch, the only modern game in this list. I also played ton of fighting games with my local friends, and there are special games to me too (such as Dead or Alive 2, Garou: Mark of the Wolve), but that does not mean they are the best games of all time.

        I don’t play Overwatch anymore. I had a few main characters, starting with unusual ones. My first was Symmetra, and she was very different before her first big change. At that time her beam was autoaiming and getting stronger the longer it locks on enemy. Next main was Mei. Everyone thought she is bad and only a troll would play her. Until I showed how good her ice was, because it slowed down enemies and freezed them. And most people didn’t figure out the wall at that time. Launch OW was such a beautiful mess. My third main was Reaper. I loved teleporting behind enemies and kill them with the ult.

        You see these weren’t very mechanical difficult to play characters. Off course I played with the other characters too. But I was never very high from rank and always played single (meaning no teams with friends or the like).
