Gushing About Shows You Like (Sugar Wiki)/Video Games/Q to Z: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Repton]]'' series, especially number 2. Best puzzle games ever. (Twenty-four years old and still going strong.)

* [[Robopon]]. A [[Mons]] series with robots that manages to be highly entertaining and playable. I still love my good ol' Golden Sunny from the first game. And it had an awesome villain in Dr. Zero!

* [[Runescape]] is easily this troper's favourite game. Yes, really. It has the best quests of any MMORPG, and they are my favourite part of the game. The quests are funny, awesome, heartwarming, (often in rapid succession), and the team making them obviously ''cares'' about them. No quest is just a half-assed thing thrown together in 10 minutes, requiring you to kill a bunch of monsters or collect a bunch of items. Even the quests explicitly about killing monsters in their names (Dragon Slayer, Vampire Slayer, Demon Slayer) have a story, and the content of them isn't just 'go kill the dragon/demon/vampire'. And these are just the low level starter quests. Some of the tougher quests can get to the degree of immersion that you react and feel as your character does. For example after the [[Blood Knight|War God]] that the cave goblins used to follow announces that he will destroy them utterly, I felt a real sense of urgency as I went around their city, collecting things to put in a time capsule so that some remnant of their civilisation survives. The entire time, the music playing sounds so urgent (and it's called Demise of the Dorgeshuun (the name of the cave goblin people), no less), really adding to the atmosphere. When I was done with that, I teamed up with Zanik, the [[Chosen One|Chosen Commander]] of the War God to [[Screw Destiny|fight against him]]. In the throne room of the Big High War God, he gave her, (and by extension the entire Dorgeshuun people,) one last chance to join him or die. She denied him, and then the obligatory boss fight started. We slowly whittled down his health, and just as she was about to fire the crossbow that would disrupt his divine energy flow (effectively banishing him), he broke it with his mace, and as she tried to gather up the pieces, the [[Up to Eleven|statues themselves]] came to life and attacked us. I kept fighting the War God, hoping she would be able to fend off the statues and reassemble the crossbow. [[Oh Crap|Then her health bar hit zero and she keeled over.]] Despairing, I killed the rest of the statues, picked up the pieces of the crossbow and remade it, got the War God's health back down to zero, and as he gloated about how easily he had defeated the Chosen Commander, and I stood no chance, I fired the crossbow at him, banishing him. Easily the most intense (in-universe) boss fight I've ever had. And Zanik was still on the floor. [[Oh Crap|I tried talking to her, but she gave no response.]] I selected the 'wait' option in the dialogue options box, and eventually she woke up. I told her we had won, and she destroyed the pendant that gave him power on our plane. We left the Throne Room though the portal, back to the goblin city, and were hailed as heroes as the [[Triumphant Reprise]] / [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] played. An amazing end to an amazing quest series.

* ''[[Sailor Moon Another Story (Video Game)|Sailor Moon Another Story]]'' is, in an era where licensed games were [[The Problem With Licensed Games|not exactly very good]], a very addicting, compelling RPG with its own story that doesn't try to hijack old plots, but still manages to include old favorite characters. In addition, it also manages to mesh the continuity from both manga ''and'' the anime without utterly wrecking both.

** Where to begin with ''[[Brutal Legend]]''? You play as a Heavy Metal Roadie who uses [[The Power of Rock]] to defeat an evil army of 80's Hairbangers, Emo Goths, and Sadist Demons, with Jennifer Hale and [[Jack Black]], and all sorts of Metal Gods including ''[[Black Sabbath (Music)|Ozzie Motherfucking Osbourne]]'' voicing the main heroes with [[Tim Curry]] as the Villain, all the while being the most badass motherfucker in a Medieval Fantasy Metal setting that is completly fucking awesome. And not only that, the gameplay is incredibly satisfying as well, with brutal gore in the melee combat, and surprisingly well done RTS gameplay. Oh, and not only that, but this game is also freakin' hilarious. Oh, [[Overly Long Gag|and not only that]], but it's soundtrack is the most METAL THING IN EXISTENCE!!!!1!

** Seconded. Tim Schafer is a genius. Every single one of his games is gold. (well, I haven't played the Monkey Island series or Full Throttle, but I know they're good) Psychonauts, Grim Fandango, and Brutal Legend are my favorites though. My least favorite would have to be Costume Quest, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.

** * Whistles* Agro!

** [[Shadow of the Colossus]] will always be [[User:Thebazilly|this Troper's]] favorite game of all time. No matter what.
