If you could forget one single game to experience it again like the first time

[Cloud-Strife]

What game would you choose?

I was going to say Final Fantasy 7 for obvious reasons but for me it has to be Metal Gear Solid.. that game was such an incredible experience from start to finish.. the Psycho Mantis boss fight was just pure gaming brilliance and it was a game you just had to experience at the time.

My runners up are:

FF 7
Megaman X
Shadow of the Colossus

 

[DarthBuzzard]

It's between FF8, FF9, Xenogears, MGS4, Mass Effect, World of Warcraft.

Probably WoW to be honest. It's the closest thing I've felt to living a fantasy life outside of VR, and I played it before I understood how games were made, so simple things felt like complete magic. Hell, I was impressed by using a hearthstone.

 

[requiem]

Breath of the Wild, no question.

 

[Dimajjio]

Mass Effect 2. That was incredible.

 

[Zalman]

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

 

[Linus815]

RDR2, closely followed by Witcher 3.

 

[Sprat]

Shenmue without a doubt

 

[Dr Pears]

Probably Persona 4 Golden. I love the characters and would love to get to know them again.

 

[Pankratous]

What if forgot the game and then I didn't realize it would be any good and didn't play it?

 

[Sword Familiar]

Too many to choose really, but maybe I'd go with FFVI.

 

[Patitoloco]

Any Metal Gear.

Choice based games, specially The Walking Dead S1 and Life is Strange.

 

[jem]

Outer Wilds.

I tried playing it again recently and it just doesn't quite have the same magic.

That feeling of discovery was incredible.

 

[MauroNL]

Bioshock, hands down. That twist 🤯

 

[ivan.k]

Not a single a game, but Mass Effect Trilogy

 

[Mack]

Marvel's Spider-Man, my personal GOTG.

 

[taepoppuri]

Demon's Souls JP launch.
No guide or community. Just me and the frustrations 😂

 

[monmagman]

Bloodborne.....was my first From Software game and exploring the world while learning how to play the game was a fantastic experience.

 

[Jimmythemook]

Mario 64, no question. Paradigm shift in gaming, hasn't be another since.

 

[Sky87]

Probably something huge like FF14/WoW. Nostalgia is a powerful drug, but I know those games would still grab me instantly again today.

 

[BetterGraphics]

BotW and MGS1

 

[KTroopA]

yep agree with OP, Metal Gear Solid is err Boss. Have at you Snake!

next up would be Ocarina of Time

 

[DJwest]

Vagrant Story, my favourite game of all time

 

[PlayBee]

The Last of Us and BOTW

 

[correojon]

Breath of the Wild, followed closely by Dark Souls. Other runner ups would be Metroid Prime 2, OoT, Mario64 and Super Mario World.

 

[Gamer17]

Rime
Bioshock
Uncharted 2
Last guardian
Mgs4

 

[GymWolf86]

Mgs1
Ff7
Parasite eve
Horizon
Yakuza 0

 

[Deleted member 8196]

Bloodborne
TW3
DOS2
Dishonored 2
Prey
RE4
Sekiro

 

[Sylmaron]

The Witcher 3.

 

[パンダさん]

Breath of the Wild, not my favorite game ever, but it felt so great to discover everything for the first time.
No other game did it as good as BotW.

 

[Chivalry]

Persona 4

 

[jon bones]

The Witness - I'd love to go in blind again and experience the way the game teaches you about teaching.

 

[Haze]

Dark Souls for sure

 

[Angie]

The Last of Us
The Last Guardian
Life is Strange
FFX

 

[TheRulingRing]

The Last of Us.

Although if you could recreate the same times coming home from school and jumping on with everyone then maybe MW2.

 

[Voxy]

Persona 5
Dishonored
Xenosaga
Final Fantasy IX
Resident Evil 3

 

[CoolOff]

Journey with an active player base and not knowing the gimmick.

 

[Strings]

It would be Virtue's Last Reward for me. I had such a wonderful time with it, and going through that gamut of twists and revelations all over again fresh would be amazing.

 

[Flevance]

Umineko without a second thought

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Metroid Prime. Just...amazing.

 

[Skiptastic]

Mass Effect 2. That was incredible.

Click to shrink...

This is my choice.

 

[Tedmilk]

Metroid Fusion. Absolutely incredible scenario/level design and I loved the twists and turns in the plot. It doesn't really have any impact after the 20th playthrough though.

 

[Samaritan]

NieR: Automata, absolutely no question.

 

[Sailent]

It's between FF8, World of Warcraft.

Probably WoW to be honest. It's the closest thing I've felt to living a fantasy life outside of VR, and I played it before I understood how games were made, so simple things felt like complete magic. Hell, I was impressed by using a hearthstone.

Click to shrink...

This. Wotlk was the top expansion for me. Raiding ICC with 25 people... Damn.

 

[Roytheone]

The witness, that truly is a game where a second run would miss 90 % of what makes your first one so special.

 

[Ogni-XR21]

AstroBot or Breath of the Wild.

 

[HotAndTender]

MGS1, RE2(PS1) or Skate1

I say skate1 because learning to play that game was such a surreal experience since i skateboard as well.

 

[Cheezeman3000]

Chrono Trigger! Such fond memories.

Second up would be Zelda ALTTP.

Third would be FFIX.

 

[Arkanim94]

kid icarus: uprising without a doubt.

 

[Minky]

For recent examples, probably NieR: Automata, Subnautica, The Last Guardian and Undertale... Still really enjoy them, but the impact of several moments is definitely less than it was upon first playthrough, and I'd love to feel that again.

I'd also like to go back and re-experience Ocarina of Time when it was brand new; probably wouldn't have the same impact if I played it for the first time now. Same goes for stuff like the Halo games, Skyrim, etc.

Breath of the Wild, easily. That initial journey of discovery was one of the best gaming experiences of my life.
