Yakuza 5, because it's the Yakuza game with the most varied and fun side poo poo to do in it, and that's always the best part of Yakuza. It's the one with the full featured hunting FPS, racing, and taxi minigames in it, and unlike Y0/2, it has Taiga Saejima, and my favorite one-off player character, Shinada.

that's because Road Trip Adventure/Choro-Q HG 2 is the better open world racer, and i want to make a thread about it now

mycophobia posted:

it is. if it's too borderline i will vote for Pokémon HG/SS. i don't think the pokemon games died or anything, and I really enjoyed s/v but this is the one that is huge enough to have the entire R/G world in postgame, and has the boss fight against red, which is the coolest fight in the series except maybe the one at the end of Arceus. Ultra Sun/Moon is close but doesn't let you off the leash for too long. thank you.

Using a Garry script hack to blow peoples heads off with the deagle across the map and coughing in the mic whenever someone threw smoke in TTT was some of the funniest gaming of my life.

If I learned anything from this thread, I owe myself a playthrough of DQ5.

Ultima 7 brought back old friends for a fun romp. The combat wasn't anything to write home about, but threw world invited exploration, the writing was fun, the characters memorable, and the Guardian a constant companion.

I enjoyed Suikoden I, but the sequel got its hooks in me. I found Luca to be an amazing villain to motivate the player to beat him. The returning companions were charming. The music was atmospheric, and there was a lot of it.

If Nethack makes it in, I've got to bring up Dungeons of Daggorath. Some warlock fit a first-person, real-time dungeon crawler with sound effects into 8kb in 1983 for the red-headed stepchildren with a TRS-80. The experience and stats are obfuscated and tied to your heartbeat and ability to identify the magic items you encounter throughout the adventure.

I was obsessed with these games for years of my life.

Dragon Quest XI ruined all other games for me for about half a year. It is pleasant mathelating and bopping manga-pop monsters for rewards rendered in perfect typography.

It is a summer stroll, a boxing match, and your favorite taffy sticking to the roof of your mouth which you lick and lick until it's hard to know what is candy and what is you.

I liked Etrian Odyssey 1. Compared to the newer releases, it's very barebones, but i loved the world and the minimal story and the godlike FM Synth ost from Yuzo Koshiro.

Also the SaGa series, and if I had to pick one from there, either FF Legend 2 or Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song. Minstrel Song is kind of ugly but I found it charming and I love the story, characters and when you spark a move mid combat to turn the tide of battle, I don't think anything in gaming has ever come close to me as feeling as amazing.

Everyone has already posted more eloquent things about better games, but the etrian odyssey and SaGa series are definitely my favorites.

But my REAL answer is Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Pool Of Radiance is the best rpg you can play on a Mac Plus, but I think BG2 + throne of bhall is pretty great. There’s more options and more stuff to do and more ways to do it than most RPGs and it looks good and is fun. I think it’s my favorite.
