Topic: What is the greatest game of all time?
+Catherine !TGirlYJKXM — 12.6 years ago #32,450
This time I mean vidya.
I would like to give my 2 cents here before you all reply and at the risk of sounding extremely autistic I have to say that the greatest video game of all time at least in my observations and experience with it is Minecraft solely because it can feel greatly philosophical. It feels weird sometimes for me to describe it as a game as it often feels more like a game engine sprinkled with a minor game on top.
Yes, by this point, you all are probably condemning me right now as an autistic person, but my reasons for considering this game great is because despite what some may think (/vg/'s /mcg/) this game does do a good job trying to please everyone of it's demographics. There are elements of an RPG there for those who want an Elder Scrolls esque kind of game but with true unlimited exploration while maintaining a lot of the survival base gameplay with features like hunger and health. There is a Creative mod to satisfy those who maybe deemed autistic and it's fun to just mess around in it when bored or needing to pass the time. It can feel very therapeutic to just run around a superflat map killing monsters with a bow and arrow. But one other reason that puts the game at the top of the list, at least in my eyes, is moddablity. This game has perhaps one of the most vast modding community of any game I see besides games like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Garry's Mod, Grand Theft Auto, and a few others. The amount of mods for this game can sometimes feel like corporations are secretly sending programming stooges to market their products since there exist mods for things like DC/Marvel Superheroes, Other Video Games (Portal 2 most notably), Children's Cartoon Shows (My Little Pony most notably), Long Running Sci-Fi Classics (Dr. Who most notably), and even something as simple as vending machines for Coca Cola products.
I didn't even get too detailed about adventure maps which are sure to get better now that Mojang is introducing a lot more features for mapmakers. Such maps can definitely change the vanilla game into something else without modifications. Most notably Infinity Dungeon.
I have no idea why I felt the need to speak my mind about this subject, but whatever.
Now I am expecting several posts calling me autistic so let me have it. Have fun! :-D
Oh and what video games do you consider to be the greatest game of all time?

liking mine craft isn't autistic.
Writing essays on why you like it, is.
