Let me be a bit more descriptive:
By "Favorite" I mean, "Most Memorable." a video game you've played, you can think back on, you can hear music to, visualize and get warm fuzzy feelings of even now.
So think before you answer, will you remember GTA IV 5 years from now?
I have a favorite. A specific favorite. And it's wierd, because not only is it my favorite of all I've played, but I know that no other future game will ever come close to this game.
Mine is: Final Fantasy 7.
Been almost ten years since I've played it and it still is the pinnacle of my nerd-tacular career. If you ask me in ten years, what my most favorite game is, it'll be Final Fantasy 7.
Why? I guess it's the game that had the biggest impact (as far as video games are concerned) in my growing-up years. Emotion, drama, adventure, amazing graphics.
And even though the game killed my most FAVORITE character of all time....
... You BASTARDS. I HATE you, squaresoft! WHY? I mean, out of ALL the characters that deserved to die, you go kill the one that I LIKED? I mean, there's the heckuva-annoying characters that you could have gone and croaked, and the gamers would be like, "oh, whew, I'm glad he/she's finally gone. I can go enjoy the game."
But NO! You have to just OUT OF NOWHERE, bam. Completely non-expectant. Boom, she dead. And all the gamers are thinking
....... !!!!WTF, where did that COME FROM!??!?!?
Immediately take the controller and VOLLEY it at the screen (thank goodness them old boob tubes were THICK)
Then BITE the controller, try and smash the power button "OFF" in disgust, MISS the power button, hurt your finger, get even more pissed off, hit the power button EVEN HARDER, and even though you successfully turned off the console, you're so frustrated that you hit it ON/OFF like, 12 times more, as if that makes anything better, STOMP TO YOUR ROOM, and with all your RAGE of the INJUSTICE that's just been done to you, you slouch next to your bed and....
.... sob. Sob in all your adolescent immaturity. Shut up, I was an emotional kid, OK?
... then a week later, you pick up the game, play it, think, "This game sucks. It's not the same anymore. Why am I playing this? I feel like it's completley worthless."
then you beat the game, put it away, and exclaim, "HOLY CRAP, that was the best game EVER!"
.... NOT the end. Because you end up re-playing the game, see your favorite character die AGAIN, get ALL PISSED OFF just like the first time, then begrudgingly and unwillingly finish the rest of the game in disdain, beat it again, then stand up and cry, "SO FRIGGIN' COOL!"
... and that's my favorite game. Time to go to work.
