Which game really made you fell in love with it's world and characters?

    Actually the WarCraft 3 campaign, played Warcraft 2 as a small kiddo and followed Grom Hellscream through everything. And to date I feel just as sad every time I see that cinematic as I would If I saw the scene where Mufasa dies, tears were shed. R.I.P Grom!

    Fallout 3 instantly comes to mind. New Vegas too. And Skyrim. Every Bethesda game, really. I don't know really know how to explain it, but for me it seems like most new releases I play nowadays I just end up analyzing them and I try to take something away from them in a creative sense. Maybe it's because I don't actually enjoy them as a game but rather I "appreciate" them for the amount of work put into it? But when I play TES/Fallout I get past that analyzing "stage" and I just get lost in that world for hours on end. Nowadays I "get lost" in multiplayer games as they're fun to just chip away at with all of their depth and replayability along with the possibility to goof around with friends, but those TES/Fallout games are some of the few singleplayer/offline games that still hit that same mark for me.


    World of Warcraft also comes to mind mainly due to all of the great memories I have attached to that game. I just remember progressing through all of the leveling zones was really special the first time through. Even though questing was pretty boring gameplay, every new zone felt exotic and full of places to explore. Ashenvale definitely resonates the most with me, I get such a bad nostalgia ache when I listen to the song that played in that zone. The world felt so endless back then.

    Half-Life (plus expansions and sequels)


    Warcraft 3 (and Frozen Throne and that other MMO game...crap what was it called...?)


    Full Throttle


    Borderlands


    Jedi Knight II (OMFG was this game amazing)


    GTA V. Best game in the series imo

    Deus Ex 1999 - Hands down the best game ever

    Lol you turd! You forgot S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Mercenaries (the first one)


    Man, egg on your face.


    oh...

    For me the Mass Efffect series really stands out. What happened to the world and your team especially really mattered

    For those that want to give it (another) go, try it from 1 to 3 with dlc (some dlc is really good) and the mehem mod for a better (or different) Mass Effect 3 ending!


    Cant wait to see what they will do with the next Mass Effect but i will sure miss the old characters.

    In chronological order


    Secret of Monkey Island (narrative driven addiction to the world)
    Final Fantasy VII (most relatable young teenager hero story ever, and most dream-inducing backstory in a game I've played)
    Half-Life 2 (Incredible near future sci-fi that made the world it took place in so believable)
    God of War (Perfect story of revenge, game that screamed at me its unrelenting "I don't give a fuck" attitude)

    Left 4 Dead (Absolute perfection in storytelling or lack thereof, making every action resonate even more)

    The Last of US (Most believable post-apocalyptic real world locations ever made, plus Ashley Johnson's incredible acting)

    Beyond: Two Souls (For the first time, a purely cinematic experience made me care about its main protagonist)

    Looking back now the first game that really made me feel like I waas playing in an actual world and not just a computer game was probably Kings Quest 6. All the environments are still fresh in my mind even though I played this when I was 6 or something

    I can't believe no one mentioned Halo: Combat Evolved. It was announced on the E3 of 2000 for the PC (and MAC I believe) with the trailer below. This blew my mind. It was love at first sight. When Microsoft bought the game I simply got an Xbox just for Halo 1 and 2. I didn't have any other games on it. Both titles made it worth the purchase though because me and my friends played it day and night. Master Chief is a bad ass character. It's an unbelievable rich universe and it really does it's own thing. Looking at this trailer now and I still get goosebumps.

    It wasn't a one trick pony either because Halo 2's E3 2004 trailer topped the original. Dual wielding, stealing vehicles, brutes, urban combat, it was just so much more.

    Halo 3 finally sealed the deal for me. Not with it's trailer but with it's commercial. Goosebumps all over. For me, this trilogy is an icon. I love the world, it's characters, it's story and so on. Too bad that Halo 4 was disappointing. But they'll never take away the above. Now, to finish this off, the commercial in question.
