I have a single favorite game ever.
Chrono Trigger
I'd never argue it's objectively the best game ever. I completely ran out of things to do in it after only about a year. Some of it is now clunky, the whole thing was censored for US release, just about everything it does other games have far surpassed at this point. But I was a kid, and it was the best thing I'd ever seen at the time, and the soundtrack still brings me back to those times and my memories outside of the game. So, maybe it's all nostalgia, and maybe liking a game for the memories and the experience is retarded when you should like it for the gameplay.
But it's my absolute favorite, and will be until my body stops.

Vagrant Story.
I love settings that impart a sense of age and secrets within secrets and Lea Monde is my jam. Dig the dilapidated French medieval town setting atop buried ancient ruins with gods and dragons and shit inside.
Also a sucker for villain isn't really the villain, it's these goody two shoes shits over there.
Toss in great music, battle system you have to learn and figure out, crafting and tons of newgame+ stuff and the overall experience just blew me away.
Made peace with never getting a sequel which is probably for the best all things considered.

First one. Honestly, it's probably Opus Magnum, even though that only came out fairly recently, but I've played it a ton and spent hours upon hours going back and optimizing old solutions. I sometimes try to optimize for different things; I have multiple solutions for most levels that use the least cost, area, or cycles I could manage, or sometimes somewhere in between these three things just to make a machine look cool. Here's one of my personal favorite solutions I've made, and it's stuff like this that's kept me coming back to the game over and over. Probably the most I've been engaged with a video game in my entire life.

Usually the opposite for me. Everything garners some kind of response from me, be it positive or negative. I like to play bad games as well as good ones, even knowing full well how bad they are. Only way it wouldn't leave an impression is if it's somehow mediocre in every way, or I'm just plain disinterested.

Deus Ex. It was fun to replay 20 or so times, being somewhat different on each iteration. The all sawed-off run. The all-kills, no-skills run. Because by the time you're thinking of shit like that, you've already done variations on pacifist, stealth, and snipe everybody in the head like a pussy runs.
Eventually, you lock your boss in a broom closet, clip otherwise unkillable NPCs through the walls, find Hong Kong's unlit, half-textured Forbidden City after scaling a skyscraper like spiderman, using live grenades as pitons. And when you've finally explored all the tactical possibilities, ruined the plot as much as possible by confusing the AI with tear gas and explosive barrels, and read all the ancillary text and learned all the numbers and secrets, you use your nano-augmented strength to build a stairway to heaven out of steel crates and bang your crowbar against the sky to make God let you in.
It's a shame the closest thing we ever got to a sequel was just a kike-loving water filter salesman ranting about fish-men on the internet.

>>14222925
A lot of it is just nostalgia, but it's still fun in a way that isn't true of other JRPGs of that era. When I played CT as a kid, I was dumb as shit and never understood that most of the battles can be done in one turn if you use your head for a second and think about all the different attacks you have at your disposal— I replayed it for the millionth time a couple years ago, applying strategy and getting a sense of how the designers probably intended you to do things, and that made it interesting. I also refrained from dumping all the tabs on Crono and instead gave Crono all the magic, but gave Ayla all the power so that volt bite would do ridiculous damage.
You didn't get to make decisions like that in, say, FFIV. FFV, otoh…

lmao. You want to know the best part? The first story arc has you literally rescue a princess. Except you don't know it at the time.
It's almost like they did that intentionally or something. It's familiar, but with a twist, and woven into a less predictable narrative. Like how Leene Square is the standard JRPG Hometown— except that it has a rock 'em sock 'em robot and one of the transporter pads from Star Trek. And after you grab Marle by the pussy you soon realize you're just at the overture to what is really a sci-fi story.

My favourite western RPG is going to get me lynched: Fallout 3
For no reason other than that, at the time I played it, it was the first open world game that gave me a world worth exploring. I loved peeking into each and every building and just looking at all the stuff they managed to pack into every area. The story was complete shit, the characters were complete shit, the gameplay was bad, but it was the game that basically fulfilled my dream game of being a guy with a gun who goes wandering around without a clear purpose. It was also the game that first opened my eyes to modding, and I spent inordinate amounts of time fiddling with mods and completely changing the game from what it was into exactly what I wanted it to be.
I wanted to say New Vegas was my favourite if for no other reason than that it wasn't Fallout 3, but that would have been a lie. I can say New Vegas is the better game of the two, but when I personally played New Vegas, I was so burnt out from playing Fallout 3 as much as I did that I only did the main story and a bit of the side content. I just didn't have that sense of wanderlust that Fallout 3 gave me.
I even had hopes for Fallout 4's modding scene but that game was broken on the foundational level. I don't think mods will ever be able to fix it.
Special mention goes to Planescape: Torment which has writing beyond pretty much anything I've ever seen in a game without dipping too deep into purple prose, but the gameplay of it is just awful. It fails as a game and there are times where I've suggested that people read the novelization of it instead of trying to play it for themselves.

That's not a bad opinion to have if you ask me. Fallout 3 was my first introduction to the fallout series. I enjoyed the hell out of it, but I first played it on the PS3, so I couldn't mod it. Even when I did eventually get it on PC and subsequently Fallout New Vegas, I had no idea modding it was a thing until I bothered going into a thread about on 4/v/. This means the already large amount of hours I spent playing both games were all vanilla. Needless to say, the hours only went up after I learned about modding. I can say with certainty though that NV is my favorite of the two. It had good writing and improved on the gameplay of 3. Whether or not it's my favorite western RPG is another story. If you consider Deus Ex an RPG, then that one takes New Vegas' spot.
You also seem to share my opinion of Planescape: Torment. Such a shame the gameplay was such a slog because the story was, as you said, really something to behold and was certainly trudging on uncharted territory for its time. If I remember the game correctly, my biggest issue was the RNG needed in every fight. I hated swinging at enemies and missing 60% or more of my hits. In fact, most D&D RPGs piss me off for that reason. I hate having to roll the dice constantly, even for some of the most basic movements and actions. I felt similarly of Morrowind and never ended up finishing it. I feel like I am missing out considering how often it gets talked about on here.

I love path of exile, really great game played it for 2+ years on and off and every time I come back to it I manage to sink 100 or so hours into the game.
I loved warcraft 3 a lot, amazing game even though old. Warcraft 3 is what a good RTS in that style should be. Interesting units, heros were interesting as well and added depth (so did the units and the diversity of abilities they had).
By hours played it would easily be league of legends, but I usually hated playing that game due to the retarded inbred community (especially at high ELO levels). Probably is because the game is f2p.

It's probably just nostalgia but I love the music, the story, running around helping dudes invent stained glass and burgers. There are lots of little mysteries that are probably dead ends, but it always feels like there's something you're missing even on the 20th playthrough.
It also has a fun combat system. I've never been able to find a game that scratches that same combat itch.
