If you could erase 1 game from memory - so you could replay it ..

SeantheMan · 04-01-2011 10:12pm #1

What would it be ?
Although the game I'd choose isn't necessarily my favourite game (mohaa/FF7), the story was so amazing that I'd love to play through it again and experience it for the first time..

I'd have to go with Mass Effect 1/2

gizmo · 04-01-2011 10:14pm

Deus Ex
Half-Life
Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

Don't make me choose one...:(

youcancallmeal · 04-01-2011 10:27pm

FF7 (Obviously)
or
Homeworld (Epic in every sense of the word)
or
Resident Evil (It was the first time I actually 'jumped' playing a video game)

If I had to pick one well then FF7 probably.

On a side note I got Mass Effect 2 the other day, will it make no sense if I havent played Mass Effect 1?

I would strongly urge you to play through Mass Effect 1 first.
You will enjoy the 2nd one, but its just not the same if you've not played the first.
In a similar vein to Godfather 2 or Back to the Future 2, both are amazing on their own, but they continue the story and its better if you;ve seen the first.

YouSavedMyLife · 04-01-2011 10:50pm

Vagrant Story. Was thinking FF7 but i actually wasnt too keen on it when i first got it with it being my first JRPG experience and being all new to me. I stopped playing it for a few months then came back to it and loved it. Picked Vagrant Story cause i kinda rushed through it and the crafting aspect of the game was kinda lost to me in my younger years...

Mr E · 04-01-2011 10:52pm

Zelda: Link to the past
System Shock 1 & 2
Borderlands

Kiith · 04-01-2011 10:55pm

Baldur's Gate 2. It's not my favourite game of all time, but it's probably my favourite from a story point of view.

Sasquatch76 · 04-01-2011 11:01pm

Zelda: Ocarina of Time for me.

Retr0gamer · 04-01-2011 11:02pm

Panzer Dragoon Saga. What an amazing game and story, would love to experience it fresh again. Puts stuff like FFVII to shame.

Jerichoholic · 04-01-2011 11:02pm

Red Dead, I didn't want it to end.

Agricola · 05-01-2011 12:24am

Metal Gear Solid - Would love to experience that again for the 1st time.... preferably in a current gen engine but that wouldnt be a game breaker!

calex71 · 05-01-2011 12:36am

Like others maybe not because they were the best or my favorite but they were just so new and fresh at the time and other reasons.

Zelda: A link to the past
Silent Hill
Metal gear solid
GTA: 3 / Vice city
Rock Band 2

WolfForager · 05-01-2011 1:08am

Tis hard to think of names when your asked :P

Bioshock and Darksiders would spring off the top of my head though.

EDIT: Oooo ooo! Both Uncharted games!

TheFullDuck · 05-01-2011 1:09am

Half life :cool:

PogMoThoin · 05-01-2011 1:13am

FEAR, and play it again in the dark with loud surround, epic stuff

Ardennes1944 · 05-01-2011 1:18am

Call Of Duty 2

Shocking I still remember all the multiplayer maps yet struggle to find the memory of mp maps from games I played only months ago

Fallout 2.

Planescape: Torment. Goddamn, I loved that game.

Yell0 Man · 05-01-2011 3:36am

Super Mario 64, just to marvel at the sheer genius of it all over again.

Demon's Souls.

Golden Sun.

It is AMAZING.

TouchingVirus · 05-01-2011 4:33am

I don't play a lot of games, but one that I couldn't get enough of was the Mass Effect series (1 & 2). I couldn't put it down, it was immense.

If only because it's half gotten me back into game, I would choose them. Pure magic, what story games are about.

I'm currently playing Deus Ex for the first time, we'll see how that goes in the finish

Zero-Cool · 05-01-2011 11:19am

Has to be Final Fantasy VII. My leaving cert went to shiit that year but I would love to experience it again, preferably rebooted on the PS3!!

papajimsmooth · 05-01-2011 12:25pm

Id have to say world of warcraft with ocarina of time a close second.

recyclops · 05-01-2011 12:28pm

Silent hill 2 for me the story was fantastic for a survival horror game from start to finish

Krusader · 05-01-2011 12:38pm

CoD:MW
FF VII (haven't played one since, would i be disappointed?)
AC II
Doom

Duggy747 · 05-01-2011 1:06pm

Oblivion - Good grief, to pump 200 hours into it and marvel at all the little things I find for the 1st time. Can't wait for the sequel this year to drain my life again.

Deus Ex - Had a demo on PC and loved it, couldn't find the game anywhere until the brother got it years later on the PS2. It was great but I wish I could go back and play it originally on the PC for the 1st time.

Half-life 2 - I sort of liked the 1st one, couldn't really warm to it though I tried but this was just pure brilliance.

Doom - I remember 1st playing it when it came out on an old, crappy Ultra Desktop..........1st time I ever dealt with DOS and I can still hear the speaker from the motherboard making beeping noises :pac:

F-Zero - Played it the night my brother won an All-Ireland Nintendo competition back in 92. The graphics blew me away

Mortal Kombat II - Great Xmas that was having such a "taboo" game.

mrm · 05-01-2011 1:37pm

Zelda: A Link to the Past & OoT
Metal Gear Solid
God of War 1 & 2
Demons Souls

Would like to suggest 'Tomb Raider' for the enjoyment and wonder I experienced at the time of playing but fearful that it would feel ordinary (particularly against the Uncharted series).

Why that would be delightful.

sarumite · 05-01-2011 2:08pm

Any Civilisation game
Elder Scrolls: 3 or 4.

Both less about the story, just the general experience. You never get to relive your first impression.....both of those games were "WTF" moments.

Mine too.

Apt choice for one to erase from your brain considering the nature of the game....

Odaise Gaelach · 05-01-2011 3:41pm

For me, it would either be Wip3out or Morrowind.

Wip3out because the game is aesthetically perfect. The sounds, music, graphics, UI and gameplay are all amazing. I haven't seen anything that can approach it since.

Morrowind, because of when I first played it in 2003. I was 16 and I got the game with a graphics card for computer that I'd upgraded. I remember stepping off the boat and just looking around. It looked amazing. Then there was the shock of being able to go pretty much everywhere that I wanted. I didn't think such a game was possible. I just started walking, and walking, and walking... and walking...

So, which one? I don't know. I really don't need to erase Wip3out from my mind to be awed by it. Morrowind might not have the same impact on me now that I've played stuff like Oblivion and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and I don't want to ruin all those glorious memories for nothing. So I don't know...

Jerichoholic · 05-01-2011 3:48pm

I'd love to start afresh with Shenmue again. Yakuza just isn't the same.

Chefburns · 05-01-2011 3:48pm

Surprised no one has said it yet but its gotta be Pokémon red version I remember getting it for Christmas was my 3rd Gameboy game I think and spent 45 mins with my cousin trying to get out of the house!!!(he had the blue version!!!!)=D

cursai · 05-01-2011 3:55pm

Halo Reach!
I'd love to have that erased from my mind.

Just that....i'd love to have it erased from my mind!

Irishcrx · 05-01-2011 3:59pm

Manhunt - First time playing it was just unreal.

Assassins creed - I really enjoyed that.

Metal gear solid - snake eater!

seraphimvc · 05-01-2011 4:01pm

While AA was perfectly pleasant, your 1 game you would waste on AA?

That's a bit crazy, don't you think?

Mega Drive - Sonic 2
SNES - Mario Kart
N64 - Ocarina of Time
PS1 - Gran Turismo
PS2 - SSX Tricky
Xbox - Forza 1
Xbox 360/PS3 - nothing really stands out on either platform.

Mr Freeze · 05-01-2011 5:23pm

Thief: The Dark Project
Thief II: The Metal Age
Mass Effect 1 & 2
System Shock 2

ah....Thief, it was amazing.

EDIT: Nearly forgot about Fahrenheit

RolandIRL · 05-01-2011 5:36pm

KOTOR I - just the story was brilliant, did not see that twist coming at all.
Any of the Worms games - just playing it with my brothers when we were younger was hilarious. just seeing the wacky weapons for the first time was so funny

I-War 2: EoC - just loved playing this sim the first time over.

joe123 · 05-01-2011 5:38pm

Deus ex 1 - absolutely brilliant. I still remember not liking a character in the game and deciding to kill them thinking the game would end, yet it continued!

FF9 - The first ff game I ever played and the best. They have been steadily getting worse and worse since. FF13 is absolute tripe.

Mario 64 - Just brilliant.

murphyaii · 05-01-2011 5:38pm

1. populus
2. earthworms first edition

!!! YES! when i saw this thread i actually put money down on you going "panzer dragoon saga" and i thought "maybe he'll have a go at ff7 cos everyone will be saying that". you are getting predictable old man! ps - was thinking yesterday, you should try take a photo of your game collection. would be quite interesting.

for me, Crono Trigger springs to mind as does Half Life 2 and Metroid Prime. I would not like deleting super metroid from my brain as I still know where the stuff is
