3. The Witcher (dat storytelling of a good book )

4. Dragon Age: Origins (dat feeling of being the director of your own fantasy story)

5. The Elder scrolls: Skyrim ( Fus ROH DAH! 200 hours on ONE character dont lie I quess)

6. Assassins Creed-series (cant pick my favorite one)

7. Grand Theft Auto 4 (Niko ****** Bellic   )

8. Heavy Rain ( "you have five minutes to cut off one of your fingers in front of the camera" )

9. Grand Theft Auto 5 ( very good sequel in every way but loading times are bit of a pain in the ass)

[A Crusty Knight Of Colour]

10. Final Fantasy: Tactics

9. Darklands - A Role Playing Adventure

8. Neverwinter Nights 2 - Mask of the Betrayer

7. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

6. Medieval II: Total War

5. Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

4. Age of Empires II: Age of Kings

3. Fallout 2

2. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

1. Rome: Total War

 

Plenty of honourable mentions: Jagged Alliance 2, Gothic 2/3, Fallout 1+NV, Deus Ex, Realms of Arkania 2, Planescape: Torment, Cossacks, Anno 1404, Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, System Shock 2, even Payday 2 and Borderlands 2, Knights of the Old Republic 1+2, Baldur's Gate 2, etc etc etc.

 

Not really a definitive list, just what my thoughts tend to be at the moment. I really like sequels that do a good job of keeping the core experience of the first game, but expanding on it through new content, new mechanics/ideas, etc. So while I may enjoy first up efforts, I rate highly the ability for a studio to come back to it and perfect/improve the formula.

I´m an ex-Arcade player turned console gamer that over the last few years migrated to being solely a PC gamer. I have no regrets, and lots of found memories. 

 

10- Mass Effect 1 (Totally epic, despise its many flaws. Best story in the trilogy)

 

9- Mass Effect 2 (A more refined experience, with better combat)

 

8-  Mass Effect 3 (Best combat in the series, with great multi-player)

 

7-Fatal Frame 2 (Truly immersible survival horror wih great control and mechanic that made me care about the characters)

 

6-Phantasy Star IV (Best japanese rpg ever for me, with a great story the escalates to galatic proportions. I think mass effect fans should give it  a try)

 

5-Street Fighter IV (The best homage SF2 could receive. It´s a new game that pays repect to the classic while at the same time moving forward)

 

4-Super Mario Kart SNES (surprisingly good and really cool to control)

 

3- Super Mario World (excellent platform game that showed what the snes was capable of. Now you´re playing with power. SUPER power!)

 

2- Super Mario 1 (classic plataform at it´s best). 

 

1- Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition (to this day, best fighting game).

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, or Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War? I'm gonna guess the latter since that game was absolutely incredible and still holds up well today. Demons of Razgriz ftw.

 

Well, that's embarrassing! I actually meant The Belkan War. Time to go edit that post.

 

And I got REASONS.

Ace Combat 5 was a big improvement over 04 in a lot of respects (and Shattered Skies was the most revolutionary single entry in the series). It was with 5 that they started to really double down on the character-based stories: ridiculous amounts of awesome animation, lots of voiceover stuff, and a storyline that wasn't half bad. They also massively amped up the soundtrack; 04 mostly had one piece for each level with a few leitmotifs for key encounters, but 5 had an immense, rich, and varied score for a variety of occasions that was well tailored to the situation in the game. There were also a lot more planes to fly, and planes are cool. And there were more levels.

Except...well...

5's story emphasis felt deeply dissonant with the gameplay to me. In a lot of ways, the endless yammering about fighting for peace seemed ridiculous when the player character and his allies end up slaughtering enormous amounts of enemy soldiers. That voice acting also became a problem, because it came up everywhere. Chopper especially just wouldn't. Shut. Up. About anything. He'd be talking about the most inane garbage in the middle of a mission and would get whiny if he was told to shut up and exhibit a shred of knowledge about basic military discipline. Nagase, Grimm, and even Snow weren't that much better. Wardog Flight wasn't a military organization, it was a bunch of friends who happened to be soldiers. The fact that a lot of the voice actors were only 'okay' was also a problem, because even a slightly off delivery can really grind my gears, and there were a bunch of those.

Another problem was that the game was, frankly, really easy. On the one hand, they added a few more tunnel flights, which I suppose made things difficult for people who weren't that good at the game in the first place. But there weren't really any new mechanics to test the player, and the AI was only marginally improved over 04.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed 5 a lot. But I think that Zero is a lot better.

Whereas 5 brought in a humongous cast and went overboard on the story elements, Zero tightened things up by focusing on the Cipher-Pixy relationship, on the nature of the war, and on the enemy aces that the Demon Lord dueled. It did those few things really well. And unlike 5's story, which clashed sharply with the gameplay, Zero's story and gameplay fed off each other. Your pilot was explicitly mercenary, and had the option to become a full-on war criminal. Even pilots who limited themselves to legitimate military targets were described in awe-inspired terms by enemy aces; there was none of this 'fighting for peace' stuff. In fact, when PJ claims that he's fighting for peace during BATTLE-AXE, Pixy verbally shoots him down by pointing out how ridiculous the notion of ending the killing with more killing is. "Flying with all those ideals swimming around in your head is gonna get you killed." (And it did.)

Considering how insane a death toll any Ace Combat protagonist racks up, I found the terror expressed by many of the character's opponents to be refreshing. During the battle for Whiskey Corridor in Shattered Skies, Erusean ground units would lose it if they thought that the "ribbon" was flying over them. They called Mobius One "the Grim Reaper". Seeing that return in Zero with the "Demon Lord" conceit made me smile. They should be terrified of you.

The game was also significantly more difficult, and was larded with a ridiculous number of Aces, many of which had individual and distinct AIs that made boss battles refreshing. Other areas added new mechanics that made life more difficult, like the proliferation of flak around the Glatisant fortress complex early in the game. The addition of Combat Records helped flesh out the story in important ways just as much as the extended story segments of 5 did, and the incorporation of Ace Style added that nice role-playing element. Although Zero cut down on the number of available planes to fly compared to 5, there were still arguably too many choices, and as much actual variety as there was in 5 (most of which's planes were recolored or only incrementally altered).

And the soundtrack, although it wasn't nearly as big as 5's, still contains some of the best music in the series. The piece "Zero", in particular, is my favorite Ace Combat track ever. It's set to the biggest and best boss battle. It's an awesome riff on an already excellent piece from 5, "The Unsung War". And it's got some really good guitar parts.

Speaking of the final boss. Oh man. That duel against Pixy had a whole mission to itself, and it deserved one. First, it was a multistage fight, which they'd never had in an Ace Combat game before. The Morgan actually felt like a boss instead of a slightly more powerful plane. Second, the mechanics were new and exciting: lasers? Air-launched MPBMs? Yes please. The music was baller. The in-game stakes were impressive. Pixy's lines were epic. And that final bit, where you had to head at him head-on to ram missiles up his intakes before he did the same to you...I mean, that's jousting. They brought the whole theme of the game full circle and tied in the Round Table: the whole game, you were calling yourselves knights, but there at the end, you actually had to play as one. That's some amazing merging of gameplay and story right there.

 

Then, of course, they saw how awesome the duel with Pixy was and put a super-long air battle against Pasternak into 6, but the mechanics for that fight sucked (especially on higher difficulties) and it turned into a chore if you wanted to nail an S-rank for the mission, because you had to shoot down a squillion of his stupid UAVs and they were really really difficult to hit and uuuugh.

 

Anyway. Zero was awesome. Ace Combat series power rankings, for me, go something like this:

 

5. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

4. Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere

3. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War

2. Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies

1. Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
