The Definitive Top 5 Thread

[Dragonium]

Seems threads like this come around every so often, but it might (disclaimer: or might not) be a good idea to have a proper official one in place as the go-to thread for people's videogame tastes. Or words to that effect.

Post your top 5 games of all time. Explain as much or as little as you wish. If you change your mind, edit your post, and we'll keep it facts-only and to-the-point like the Gamertag thread was supposed to be before someone (probably me) ruined it. If it gets used enough I might sticky it, because God knows we don't have enough All of All stickies am I right guys.

And if it doesn't get used enough and you all think it's a silly idea we'll condemn it to the depths of Hell and never speak of it again.

Reverse order teehee drama.

5th - Breath of Fire III
4th - Monster Hunter Freedom: Unite
3rd - Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town
2nd - Streets of Rage 2
1st - Final Fantasy VIII

Go. Or don't.

Uhm, choosing 5 of my favourite game is quite hard, and placing them in order is even harder.
Which is why I'll name the gameyes, you losts, but will not place them in order for now.

Xth - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Probably the game I finished the most often. Started playing it when I was quite young and never really got bored of it.

Xth - Golden Sun (1&2)
I count them as one because I like them equally. I've only finished them twice so far, and although I took a break of it, they're still amongst my favourite games.

Xth - Chrono Trigger
My favourite RPG so far.

Xth - Final Fantasy IX
My second favourite RPG so far.

Xth - World of Warcraft
Yes, I'm serious. It's the game I've played the most, and even thought it became quite redundant, no games as given me as much fun as this one did.

So well that's about it. I will place them in order when I feel like I'm pretty sure of the position I give them.

5 - The Pokemon Series (they're basically the same game.) - I enjoy coming back time and time again to reassemble my faithful team for another round of trainer bashing, but eventually, it just wears down.

4 - Diablo II and Lord of Destruction (Lost a lot of points with Hell difficulty.) - No matter how much you prepare yourself, there is always a monster ready to take you down, this game never gets any easier, but still maintains a sane level of difficulty.

3 - Super Smash Bros. Melee - Despite horribly raping Ness, Luigi, and Ganondorf by giving Ness moves he never learned in Earthbound, and by making Ganondorf and Luigi clones, SSBM never gets old.... at least until I finally get a Wii. (Or Dolphin-emu fixes the problems with subspace emissary.)

2 - Super Mario Bros. 3 - This was tough, it really was. Super Mario Bros. 3 was perfect. I could never find anything wrong with it, it was my motivation to purchase an NES again and revive my collection of cartridges.

1 - Me and My Katamari - There was nothing wrong with Super Mario Bros. 3, but this.... this... was a perfect cake, with frosting. I can only thank whoever decided to take the concept of a dung beetle, combine it with a strangely kickass soundtrack, scale it to epic proportions and all the while keep things as simple as making a giant ball of random stuff!

Honorable mentions:

Earthbound / Mother 2 - Was a decent challenge the first time through, but half of the time, I was lost. I counted ten times having to look up where to go on a walkthrough. What really hurt was Poo. Who was this guy? He totally came out of nowhere and doesn't even look like he belongs with the other three. That, and Giygas was less challenging than I thought he would be. Actually killing Paula a couple of times would've made the battle worthwhile, but no, he just kept missing.

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped - The airplane levels, 'nuff said. *mourns Crash Bandicoot.*

You're asking me to choose five single games between the over three- or four-hundred games I've played?
Ridiculous.
