Having finished my first play through of Cyberpunk I’m now doing my second run with all sorts of cheats, just blowing chooms apart.

I think for best games of all time i think fallout new vegas. Its super well regarded amongst bethesda fans but i dont hear it listed as one of the greatest in general and i think i definitely deserves to be up there. The size of the world, the zaney humor, the amount of quests, weapons, amd your effect on the world. There’s just so much to this game

swolf, do games w What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games)

Gwent!

I disagree but I understand you… I don’t know why it didn’t click for me as an old Yu-Gi-Oh! Player (that is the only card game I have ever played… And several minutes of a “Duel Master” card game for GBA… Perhaps that one would trigger some old memories for some it was based on an anime too).

swolf,

It was my first foray into CCG type games. I did try the in game Gwent recently and did not enjoy it as much.

I guess you may feel that way because mature CCG are far better than the Gwent mini game.

Rodeo,

It suffers the same problem every trading card game does: if you don’t have the best cards, you lose. Skill and strategy and even luck are nothing compared to just having better cards.

bionicjoey,

IMO pay-to-win mechanics work really well for a game-within-a-game since rather than exploiting the player for money, they are exploiting the player character for effort, which can lead you to go on more epic quests

Rodeo,

Personally I found it really annoying that halfway through the game when I decided to give gwent a go, i got absolutely trashed and was basically tole to go back to the beginning of the game and redo a bunch of areas I’d already spent too much time in.

Not to mention none of the gwent quests were epic in the slightest. They were literally “play these people, if you win you get a card”.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

I spent more time playing gwent then playing the Witcher.

GoodEye8,

That’s a really superficial take. For instance in MTG every format has “must have” cards, like fetchlands or shock lands (or dual lands), but beyond that there’s no “best” cards. There are “meta” cards that go into a specific meta deck and when you have one meta deck playing against another that’s when skill and strategy come into play. And it’s not like you must build a meta deck to play, you can build anti-meta decks or lab out a completely new meta deck. The problem is that such a level of deck building skills go way beyond what 99% of players are capable of doing. Even some of the best players in the world suck at deck building, because is an entirely different skillset to playing the game.

But it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. The modern meta looks very different to when I got into MTG 10+ years ago. Some are still around in some form, like regular Tron turned into mono-g tron and burn turned into boros burn. But the bans on Twin and Pod have killed those decks while Jund and Affinity have dropped out of the meta. In those place we have brand new decks like amulet titan or 5c Omnath. Somewhere in that timeframe we also got Eggs that was literally jank cards thrown into a pile of meta-defining solitaire playing, and then it got banned for being too boring.

You can get meta cards to build a meta deck but you can’t explicitly buy “best” cards because a new combination of “bad” cards can create a meta deck and then those become the new “best” cards.

Rodeo,

What happens when a person without any good meta cards plays a person who has good meta cards?

The one with the better cards wins.

GoodEye8,

The one with a better deck wins. If a homebrew deck goes against a meta deck then it’s likely the meta deck wins, but if you homebrew a deck with meta cards vs homebrewing without meta cards it comes down to how well the deck is built. A homebrew with all the meta cards but without any game plan or poor mana source distribution is going to do worse than a homebrew without meta cards, but with a clear plan and cards that support that plan.

People not building their own decks and instead just copying meta decks is another discussion.

God I love gwent, I might have to pick witcher back up just to play.

Portal, Minecraft, Stardew Valley are just some you haven’t mentioned.

Seasoned_Greetings,

SDV hardly gets snubbed as one of the best games of all time. It’s constantly in the top sellers. I say this as a loving fan.

Water1053, do games w What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games)

Gwent from Witcher 3

CalicoJack,

I’m pretty sure I spent more time playing Ghent than the actual game. And I’m still upset that the standalone version sucked.

Water1053,

The standalone just didn’t have that same magic

MS Solitaire, Space Pinball, and Minesweeper come to mind. They were not my favorites, but I know a few people who have a few hundred hours on one or more of those.

For me it's C&C Generals Zero Hour. I have had a copy since it released in 2003, it still works, and I still play it in single player mode at least once a week. It's great because it does not require a huge time commitment and campaign missions take about an hour or less to complete. To me it's one of the best RTS style games out there. My second favorite? C&C Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge.

I have also very much enjoyed the Assassin's Creed series up to AC Odyssey.

essellburns,

Adding my Voice for Zero Hour. Excellent game. the multiplayer, skirmish and campaign modes all have something to offer.

It’s crying out for a proper remake. Just a modern patch. Don’t change anything, just make it work easier, especially the networking

DdCno1,

I’m assuming you are already familiar with GenPatcher?

anton2492,

Seconding the other response. This page should have everything you need to get the game into an optimal, playable state. Like a breath of fresh air when I launched it again. Brilliant work by those involved in the fixes.

Annoyed_Crabby, do games w What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games)

I remember spending so much time playing Farkle in Kingdom Come Deliverance, betting my money on every game. I think Witcher 1 or 2 have similar dice game that i also very into it, played with every NPC possible whenever i have the chance.

plantedworld,

Dice poker was Witcher 1 and 2. Was fun! Then gwent came and I was hooked on that too

Annoyed_Crabby,

Funny that i can’t get into gwent 😂

Doesn’t completely fit your description of minigames, but I spent days playing Casino card games with Luigi in Super Mario 64 DS. And the Hide and Seek game was great too.

Those minigames are separate from the main game though.

bermuda, do gaming w What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time?

When it comes to arcade racers people seem to either forget or just don’t know about trackmania games. They aren’t perfect by any means but id certainly consider them among the best

DdCno1,

Trackmania Nations has to be the peak of the series. One aspect that amazes me is that it works equally well with every input method out there. I’ve played this with a keyboard, joystick, gamepad and even steering wheel (although admittedly one without force feedback).

The cooking minigame in Palia is the best cooking minigame I’ve ever played AND it’s multiplayer! It’s laid back, rewarding, and easy but not TOO easy.

I’ll check it out, I ended up never coming back after all the disconnects during the first few days, couldn’t even create my character.

Kinda old school here but I really loved Pokémon Stadium mini games, also the shooter mode from Donkey Kong 64 was a blast, back in the day. Even Banjo Kazzoie/Tooie had some amazing mini games, I really loved those.

rustyricotta,

Me and my friends played the Pokemon stadium mini games WAY more than the actual battles. They were a lot of fun.

plantedworld,

The multiplayer shooter in DK64 was so fun!

The host club manager minigame in Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 2, I don’t even remember their rewards, just that they were very fun. Compared to the real state minigame in 0 that was so boring I only remember the prize at the end, at least it was worth it

spoilerYou got Kyriu’s original fighting style as a 4th one that breaks the game with a fanservice scene that references the cover art of the first game.

vickyW,

I loved that mini game , it had great gameplay and very short and sweet story . I would buy it in a heard beat if it was a standalone game with more in-depth mechanics.

AgentGrimstone,

I love that song too. I need to remember to add that to my playlist.

Where are my Outer Wilds boys at?

knokelmaat,

Always ready to bump my favorite game of all time, but honestly I feel this is quite a popular opinion (compared to some of the games in OP’s list that are really overlooked on these discussions of best games ever).

But still, what an incredible experience, the OST for outer Wilds was my fourth most listened to on last year’s Spotify Wrapped :)

Thanks for reminding me!

astrionic,

Yeah, it may not be as popular as Mario or Zelda, but I wouldn’t say it’s “unfairly forgotten”. People who have played the game tend to be pretty vocal about it. And justifiably so, I’ve never had a comparable experience in another game. I wish I could forget about it and play it again.

amju_wolf,

For the people who do find out about it and it hooks them enough sure, it’s not really forgotten or underrated. But I still think it’s kinda obscure / not well known?

apprehensively_human,

I’m not sure how this compares to Spotify but I still feel pretty good about this one

iegod,

I started playing the Outer Worlds thinking I had simply misheard the name Outer Wilds and found myself very confused but still kept trudging on. Thank you for bringing some sanity into my life; Wilds seems like the game I wanted to play the whole time, not Worlds. I’ll see how chaotic I can fuck out Worlds before I ditch it for Wilds.

apotheotic,

Not a boy but I’m fucking HERE for Outer Wilds. And TUNIC, in the same vein.

Auzy, do gaming w What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time?

Trog… I played that game for days
