The Definitive Top 5 Thread

[MissingName]

Obvious MGS2-hater-because-Snake-isn't-the-lead-hater is obvious. Metal Gear Solid was awesome, my favourite title. People should look past Raiden and see what Kojima did with this piece of art. Also, Raiden might be whiny, but if you pay attention to him, you know why, and it suits the character and story. I wouldn't want to play MGS2 any other way.

I knew someone was going to say that.  Yes, I knew Raiden would take over for Snake, so it wasn't surprise that made me hate him.  He's just annoying.
But the story is REALLY good.

I take back NNN,

3rd: smash bros. brawl/melee
(got 'em both)

You'd better, that game is fun and entertaining but the amount of bugs and problems it has, let alone the unfinished parts, could never make it a top 5 game.

Hey, don't forget about the gameplay. The story of MGS1 is slightly better, everyone knows that. But we're talking about games and those small things they did improve in MGS2 are just so great it slightly rises above 1 for me.

it is hard to choose but...

5th: rpg maker 2003
(does that count as a game?)

4th: digimon world 2003
(my favorite ps game!)

3rd: nintey-nine nights

(amazingly not an rpg!)

2nd: lord of the rings the third age
(a LOTR rpg!)

!st: jade cocoon 2

(an all time favorite!)

 

and there you are!

Jade Cocoon 2 is a brilliant game. The atmosphere is almost unsurpassed
by an game (except FFX). But still, it has an amazing soundtrack and beautiful
atmophere about it.

You're right about the gameplay.  I liked being able to whip around corners to tranq a guy.
On my first playthrough, I didn't have any silent weapons except for the M9.

The Twin Snakes version of MGS1 puts all those little touches from 2 into the original, but it loses its uniqueness somehow.

True, but for some reason it feels different. For one, the graphical style in The Twin Snakes isn't the same as the that of Sons of Liberty, so it was MGS, but didn't look like what it is supposed to look like. Besides this, I felt the music was off.

Silent Hill

Cave Story

WAAY off.  Didn't like it much.  It was missing the traditional battle music.  The Tank Hanger music was ok though.

[spoiler= Don't read this if you've never played MGS2]Campbell:  "Raiden, turn the game console off right now!"  
Raiden:    "What did you say?"  
Campbell:  "The mission is a failure! Cut the power right now!"[/spoiler]

Silent Hill

Never beat that one either.  I still have it though.

1. The Orange Box (PC) - Spent over 300 hour on this game. The amount of mods and sketches stemming from it is amazing.
2. Final Fantasy 10 (PS2) - So goddamn addictive. Played it for 60 hours in a single week. A touching, atmospheric masterpiece.
3. Disgaea (PS2/DS) - Unfathomably complex and addictive. The perfect game formula. Spent literally hundreds of hours on this. Hilarious dialogue, too.
4. Wind Waker/Twilight Princess/LTTP (GC/SNES?Wii)- Zelda games. Do they even need justifying!?
5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) - The. Best. Fighting. Game. Ever. Created. Ever.

Well, yes actually, it is.
