This isn't the first time you've mentioned Dark Souls... you like it, hm?
I haven't really played much from beyond the 360/PS4 era. Does Breath of the Wild on the Wii-U count?
You are sale is pitch?
You better believe it.Quote:

Shocking... absolutely shocking.
Sales pitch? "Play through all eras of the most successful film franchise of all time. Daniel Craig is James Bond 007 in action packed FPS levels based on Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Moonraker, License To Kill and Die Another Day! Confused? You will be! Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Bond films (in 2012) it's Bond and beyond! Available for Xbox 360 and PS3. Please ask permission of the bill payer before accessing online content. Please don't scream childishly down the mic at other players and please don't camp."
Oh I read the thread wrong...lol! Brain fart...best game SINCE the 360/PS3 era? For me it has to be Alien: Isolation.
Prey. It's the best System Shock game since 1999.
Is the thread about Dark Souls or actually making a.sales pitch for games? Just so I can clean up that title gore.
The later.
The Witcher 3
...The most immersive action RPG ever made.
Resident Evil 7 the best game I've played this or last generation, simply the game I enjoyed playing the most from start to finish.
So, let me get this straight, are being asked to state a case for the game we think is the best...
1) On the PS3 / Xbox360 generation?
2) After the above generation?
3) Or both generations above?
If it's 1), for me it's The Last Of Us. I haven't played as much from this gen as others, hardly as much, but this game really got me. I was totally hooked and think about it often. It's one of the best entertainment experiences I have ever had, it's comparable to movies and novels that I love in this regard (not as in, a game can be better than a novel, or a novel can be better than a movie, those are impossible comparisons) because it touched a nerve and got me involved emotionally. I think the very realistic graphics helped convey that, as did the stellar acting and production values.
Really, really great game.
If we're talking scenario 2) then scratch all that.
I was gonna say The Last Of Us too but being a huge fan of the Alien films I have to give it to Isolation. It was the Alien game that I'd been waiting a very, very long time for.Quote:

Thief found a way to dis on the PS4 version. The PS4 version was the definitive version of the game, and it really represented how the game was meant to be played. It really was a game that was too much for the PS3 to handle.Quote:

Considering Microsoft is shuttering Xbox Live Indie Games this month, I'm going to promote NYAN-TECH. I don't think anyone would look at it and say it's the best game of the generation whatever that means, but it's definitely unique and will be among the most enjoyable experiences you'll play on the 360. That's not bad considering the game is only $1. Basically, NYAN-TECH is a simple looking Japanese platformer where the controller buttons trigger the various platforms you'll use to play through each stage. Some require just a press to turn on or off; others require that a button be held to influence it. The game feels very much like a platform game version of Twister, and it's wonderful. I love it and make a point to play through it at least twice a year since release, and it'd be a definite contender for my favorite game on the platform.
Unfortunately, the game just starts getting challenging right about when it's wrapping things up. Still, it's hard to complain about the game only having 40 levels when it's only $1. It's a real shame that games such as it and Yuzo Koshiro's Protect Me Knight couldn't get more recognition and are going to vanish forever in the next few days. Seriously, this is your last chance to buy and play some truly great games. NYAN-TECH is just a solid platformer with an innovative gimmick that you'll likely never see again if you don't buy it right now. Literally right now. All we know is that Microsoft is going to pull the plug sometime this month. You'll still be able to redownload the games you purchased, but you miss your chance now, that's it.
BUY NYAN-TECH TODAY!
I want to add to my first post that I would rather represent one game per Generation when it comes to these matters, though. After all, it's only fair. My vote went for the, still going strong, 8th gen. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'll consider multi-generational, remastered and/or ported titles under the lowest level gen (in this case, applicable only to the 7th). So, from my experience thus far, I'll extend my vote to each gen in question:
7th Gen (PS3/360/Wii/DS/PSP):
Winner:
#1.-Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Runner-Ups: (in no particular order)
2. -Assassin's Creed II
3. -Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
4. -Fallout 3 - Close 2nd
5. -God of War III
6. -The Last of Us
7. -Mass Effect 2 - Close 3rd
8. -Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
9. -A Boy and His Blob
10. -Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
11. -Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Haven't beaten it yet)
12. -From the Abyss
13. -Far Cry 3 + Blood Dragon (technically two separate games)
14. -Nier
15. -Tomb Raider
16. -Borderlands 2
17. -Dragon's Crown
18. -Dante's Inferno
19. -3D Dot Game Heroes
20. -Darksiders II
21. -Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
22. -The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (only tampered with this one for a couple of hours. But definitely worth the mention)
23. -Halo: Reach
24. -Diablo III
25. -Sonic Generations
8th Gen (PS4/PS VR/XBONE/Wii U/3DS/PS VITA):
Winner:
#1. -The Witcher 3
Runner Ups: (in no particular order)
2. -Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
3. -Far Cry: Primal
4. -Final Fantasy XV
5. -Horizon: Zero Dawn - Close 2nd
6. -Rise of the Tomb Raider
7. -Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
8. -The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Close 3rd
9. -Shantae and The Pirate's Curse
10. -Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
11. -The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
12. -Child of Light
13. -Ori and the Blind Forest
14. -Sunset Overdrive
15. -Fallout 4
16. -Far Cry 4
17. -Doom
18. -Sonic Mania
19. -Until Dawn: Rush of Blood
20. -Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
21. -Super Mario 3D World
22. -Forza 6
23. -Kirby: Planet Robobot
24. -Quantum Break
25. -ReCore
9th Gen (Switch):
-PENDING...
...
P.S.>My opinion is obviously subject to change as I play more 7th gen and 8th titles. And with more and more great 8th gen games to come, I am certain that, at least, the runner ups will most-definitely change.
You think that Far Cry Primal is better than Horizon: Zero Dawn?
By this rule, I think Ori would be knocked to last gen.Quote:

He's listed games in no particular order. Then in bold he's cited his personal top 3 games for each generation.Quote:

I'm curious about these two entries. I played Darksiders and enjoyed it enough that I was marginally excited about the sequel, but by the time Darksiders II came out, I had already lost interest. And Castlevania, I just didn't particularly enjoy at all.Quote:

Also, have you played many PSP games? I feel like Locoroco might be right up your alley.
I mean, it was a really great experience the first time to be remembered for ages and one everyone should experience. But when I tried replaying it I noticed it didn't have the world building I crave. It's just regular old boring earth, nothing spectacular that captures your imagination and runs wild with as in Final Fantasy 7 and Mass Effect 1-3.Quote:

I did a quick glance at his list.Quote:

Isn't Ori an Xbox One game? I don't think it came out on the 360.Quote:

Thanks for noticing.Quote:

^^Fallout 3. 'Favorite fallout game thus far, including all DLC.Quote:

Yeah, I definitely recommend it broham. That game is perfection, guaranteed.Quote:

Did you know Mass Effect team actually hired strippers for motion capture?

Now that's a sales pitch. ;)
They obviously skipped that idea with Andromeda.
