Rules: just pick 1 and explain why.
I’ve been playing since the NES and despite being from a low income family I had the luck of being able to play and own many consoles over the 3 decades of my life, plus some pc.
If you ask me right now? Resident Evil 4 (2005).
A before and after in gaming, to this day still extremely fun to play even for casuals but 20 years ago it was THE masterpiece. And everyone took notice of it, everyone played it, even players that didn’t cared about resident evil. The gameplay was so good that it got photocopied by everyone right after in the action genre.
Arguably the last big innovator in videogames minus Minecraft and… PUBG (Fortnite did it better I know).
Try to NOT pick your favourite game, that’s a different thing.
Ultima IV. All the JRPG stuff started here.
I think it’s time to dust off my Ultima playthroughs. I’m coming for you Iolo you bitch.
Anyone else play Shephard because it’s weak AF but then you can get that sweet ass Dupre instead of having to carry those fuckers as a paladin?
Make the codex my bitch
Seriously fuck you Iolo.
For me it’d have to be Ultima II, aka Time Bandits: The Videogame. Although back then, both had those cool cloth maps.
