If you could wipe all pre-existing memories of one game just to experience it all for the first time again, which would it be and why?
Mine would have to be Skyrim. It was far from a perfect game, sure, but I'll never forget my rock solid hard on from hearing that menu song after the long hype train wait on the midnight of November 11th 2011.
Definitely yakuza 0, most amazing story I have ever played

Greyfag here: Jane's US Navy Fighters It was the perfect combat flight sim in it's day. As real as the machines could handle, proper controls, had to think about weight, fuel, armament, route around known Sam sights etc. I fucking loved that game.
I wish someone would make one like that again, ace combat is stupid. 115 missiles to shoot is appealing to a 4 year old mind. Give me a mission objective, planes to select, load out and performance based on that load out. Make me actually land on a moving target correctly, full power when the wheels hit so you don't crash if you missed type of thing.

I would choose Kingdom Come Deliverance, loved that game a lot, if not Kingdom Come Deliverance I would say like an Assassin's Creed game, Ezio trilogy one.
Adam Nelson
Super Mario Brothers.
Nothing like getting cockblocked over and over because the Princess is in another Castle
Elijah Walker
Minecraft, the joys of figuring out how shit works
Neverwinter nights particularly with the Dor Maeglin multiplayer PW server. Spent thousands of hours with all my buddies from about 2002 to 2010. Best multiplayer experience, so complex and slick, puts every RPG style game to shame.
Liam Adams
Pokemon Red because it felt magic

Portal, easily

Oh man. I really wanna say Half Life 2 because oh my fucking jesus that game changed my childhood. I remember it as this absolutely epic experience, but... It's 2020. I'm also afraid a 14 year old game just wouldn't be the same experience.
I mean, I guess if we're going full-hypothetical here, I'd erase all the spoilers about HL-Alyx that I've already learned and go play that, but... I don't have a VR setup. So like most people, I just watched spoilers on youtube. G man is creepy.
Shin megami tensei devil survivor, and majin tensei 2, the first and last two games I genuinely enjoyed in more than a decade
Gavin Flores
Witcher 3
Easton Murphy
Subnautica on Survival mode for sure. Nothing beats exploring that vast ocean for the first time and not knowing what biomes are out there. Once you slog through it all and get everything, not much reason to replay other than crafting experimentation.
Majora's Mask, I just want to feel confused and surprised by every little thing all over again
Xavier Miller
this is actually a pretty hard question, but i would have to say subnautica. I've never been more immersed in a game my entire life
Levi Smith
Halo. Best game ever
Carter Ortiz
the phantom pain probably
i would NOT want to do that for any fighting game otherwise i'd have to learn everything again
David Murphy
GTA 3 never played a game like it before, was laughing so hard I was crying
Justin Hill
Halo? Be quiet you console playing beta shitheal...
The entire Half-Life series.
Jason Howard
Ocarina of Time, normie pick but to me nothing compares to that initial wonder I had when I first played it.
Andrew Russell
Fallout: New Vegas. This got me back into spending far too much time in a single fictional world. At the time, I couldn't imagine a better time playing a game (barring the glitches and loading delays). Was fully immersed in the clans, the karma system, all the different perks and character customizations. And sniping FELT good, like how the controller would vibrate a certain way when you nailed a headshot from long distance. And there were terrifying moments when you'd be in "explore mode", sifting through ruins, collecting random things to fix your weapons, reading logs and computer entries from the old world, piecing together sub-narratives, when a Death Claw would be suddenly on you and you'd frantically tuck tail and run before you remebered you should destroy it. Yep...NV.
If I had to go back further...older...I'd say Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss. Childhood life changer.
Ayden Sullivan
Halo sucks, but Half Life is the most overrated game series of all time. You only remember it fondly because it had pretty graphics at the time and slightly innovative mechanics. Half Life 1 and 2 blow and Alyx is not Half life 3 (it's a shitty $1,000 VR game.)
Luke Thomas
Resident Evil 2 original version
Bentley Watson
Red dead redemption 2
Colton Phillips
Fuck you HL1 was the best for its time and the engine stayed for like a decade as so many people played CS. You fag.
Elijah Reed
>danganronpa hoo boy to re-experience my first class trial/waifu shit all over again. Still can't play because I remember some story beats and grind way too clearly.
Ending of mass effect 3 so I can drink myself to death.
Hunter Nguyen
Same OP, Skyrim or Oblivion
The one thing I used t0 wish I could reexperience all over again is The Lord Of The Rings, but I have fond memories of it from when I was young so I don't know if it would be the same
Eli Sanders
I had plenty to play on Ps1/Ps2. I also did have a PC but played Diablo but not Half Life. Giving it the benefit of the doubt for the year it was made it's either overrated or doesn't hold up.
Adrian Foster
Damn, one guy's opinion can make Half Life fags reeeee pretty hard.
Michael Smith
This but with FO3. NV simply had no respawning humanoids other than the main story outside of a single ruin and that hill with super mutants on it if my memory is correct. All those new guns and upgrades but nothing to fight. FO3 on the other hand had super mutants, raiders, and enclave around every corner outside of the main story.
James Bailey
Not him but I could never finish half life 2. I remember all the shit you had to do on the river boat was boring and tedious and just lost my attention. It felt like a riverboat simulator
HL 2 was truly boring at times but 1 is a game changer only Doom is more revolutionary than HL1
Robert Moore
It probably wouldn't.
I've watched LOTR atleast a 100 of times when i was young, actually played the game as well on a shitty hewlett packard back in the day, pretty awesome as well, especially the Minas Tirith Siege.
It's still a go-to classic on a rainy day, but it's just not the same for me.
Metal Gear Solid V. I haven't played the ones before because I don't own any consoles. But this was incredible and it's a fucking tragedy that Kojima won't make any more MGS.
