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

 

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

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 :o

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.
