Huh.. Bit of a loaded question. I like the Kotor series, notably 2. For all its flaws its a phenomenal game. Really sucked me into the Star Wars Universe.

 

Shadowrun Returns/Hongkong is nice too. Its whole street professional feel was nice. I mean it takes the Underworld concept and flips it on its head in that you don't serve or rule some crime family. Just a professional badass. I'm a sucker for twists like that.

 

Mass Effect isn't bad at all either.

 

 

 

 

Games like Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment are the best in that they are the ancestors and forefathers of some of the best systems out there. Any game today that tries to aim for a classic RPG emulates them.

 

 

I don't mean to sound neutral but I don't believe there is a best game out there. Hell, even a game like Vexx, I believe it was, is amazing in its own way. Or even Daxter. Hahaha, I really wish I had an answer to this.

Honestly, while it does have flaws, I vote Fallout 3 for best game I've ever played.

Before that I never picked a single favorite, but for the title of "greatest" I'd probably pick Diablo 2, which frustrated the crap of me but was astonishingly compelling and *frequently*, not always, rewarding to play for a huge number of hours, compared to more perfect but smaller and shallower games (the two that immediately come to mind are Metroid Fusion and Castlevania AOS).

Also honorable mention to Final Fantasy V, specifically the fan translation for SNES emulators.

All three (non-parenthetical) of these are games that I've made literally thousands of playthroughs of, except Diablo 2 where it was only a few hundred, but I played them for longer because it's far and away the grindiest of the three.
