was really hoping someone would mention this beautiful game
1. Final Fantasy Series (specifically VII, X, and XIII) - used to love playing VII, one of the first games I got emotionally attached to and would play it for hours on end after school when I got home. When X came out, I was attached to that as much as VII, another great title which comes close to comparing to VII for me. When XIII came out, I loved it as well, but doesn't come close to X or VII. Outstanding games, but I haven't played much other than the 3 I posted
2. Metal Gear Solid Series - definitely one of my favorites, more childhood memories come streaming back whenever I think about it. I really loved the 2nd and 4th in the series, not sure how Ground Zeroes is though
3. Borderlands 2 - I loved this game. I literally spent a ton of time playing this last summer, and I had a ton of fun with all the new DLC and stuff that was coming out. The first one was okay as well, but I really got into the 2nd one.
4. Legend of Zelda: OoT - another one of those games that is close to me because of my childhood. I loved this game a lot, still play it every now and then, along with Super Mario 64. I used to speedrun this and Super Mario 64 competitively, but never got as good as any of the worldclass dudes
5. DayZ Standalone - I never got into the Arma II mod, but the standalone is great. Your heartrace can shoot from 80-150 in literally seconds, the game is super action-packed and has tons of new surprises every time you play. I love playing with squads and mowing down clans and the such. The only flaw is that it's currently in alpha, and still needs a bunch of work to be perfect
Honorable Mentions:
Civilization Series (specifically Revolution and V until the new one comes out), League of Legends (great game, kind of dumb community), Bioshock Series (specifically Infinite, really superb game, almost made my list tbh), Crash Bandicoot Series (childhood tho), Gears of War 1 and 3 (2 wasn't that fun, judgement was the worst game every made, played competitive in 1 and 3), TES Series (preferably Oblivion and Skyrim)
no particular order for honorable mentions, but ya
