When I think of greatest of all time, Skyrim will always come to mind. It was my first RPG and man.....what a one to start off with.
I'm still remembering being in awe of the opening scene. Starting off tied, in a cart, on the way to be executed. The character creation had me absolutely captivated. Probably spent an hour picking my character.
The choices in quests have the game such individuality. So many permutations available to to the player.
Combat was 🐐. No matter what build I'd try to go for, I'd always return to archery. It was too goat.
The story had me contemplating everything. It felt to real to, interacting with characters, reading historical books within the game. I was captivated.
Being the DRAGONBORN was 10/10. Killing dragons, taking their souls, converting them into shouts.
The side quests were so incredibly fulfilling. Between interacting with stellar characters and receiving weapons and armor, man oh man. Dark brotherhood, thieves guild, college of winter hold, daedric artefacts. There were a perfect amount of side quests to enjoy.
I now have the game on PS3, PS4, and PC. I cannot get enough of it

It's likely a reductive comparison, but Driver San Francisco is basically a GTA game with no on-foot gameplay and a 70's cop show tone. There's more to the game than that however, as the ability to ghostly jump between cars is delightfully creative and gives life to an otherwise solid-but-not-great game. Overall, an enjoyable experience.
Highly ambitious and filled with personality to the brim. Unique racing games are a rare breed these days, which makes me appreciate D:SF all the more. There is just a bit too much jank in both presentation and gameplay to truly live up to its potential.
At its best, it's a conceptual love-letter to the cinematic car chase with creative mission design, while at its worst it relies too heavily on crashing random cars into opponents and breaks your immersion with oddly paced transitions from gameplay to pre-rendered to in-engine cinematics.

One of the best racing games out there and easily the one with the best plot. Even if you're not a heavy fan of the genre, the concept alone of playing as a detective poltergeist trying to prevent a vague and impending disaster should wrangle you in. The game's balance of 70s iconography and style combined with contemporary cars and music will floor anyone looking for a standout driving experience.
A driving game with a genuinely unique mechanic that initially seems simple but soon changes how you think your way through levels. Too bad the online isn't available anymore to get all the achievements.
Loses a star due to the game being a little ugly looking colour wise and the music getting a little repetitive by the end

I'm not sure if it's my creativity, but it's hilarious that the solution for 80% of the game's objectives is crashing into stuff. It's extra funny when you realize that you take over someone else's body to just put them in the hospital because you wanted to remove an opponent in a race.

Really good shooter but terrible Halo game
crazy that this is on here but I guess it kinda makes sense?
anyways the only ending I remember is throwing myself off the balcony and being like "nah, it isn't real tho" and he fucking dies for real and you start over
lmfao

Fallout 76
2018
I finished the first season of the Fallout TV show on Amazon, and it was pretty good! Since it's considered canon to the games' timeline/lore, I thought it'd be time to get into this franchise. Fallout 76 is the first entry in the timeline, and I thought I'd have no issues playing it after all these years it's been released. Little did I know that it's still a big mess to deal with...Here are all the issues I've encountered within the first 2 hours of playing it:
• The first time I booted up the game, I was greeted with a black screen with audio playing in the background. For some reason, the game can't run anything above 60 Hz. The only way to fix this is to change your refresh rate before you launch the game. You can then change it afterward to whatever you'd like, but I shouldn't have to do this each time.
• Running in-game just stopped working once I hit the 2-hour mark of my playthrough. Restarting the game didn't help at all, so not having the ability to run just made me not want to continue playing.
• Some sound effects were missing/muted, which killed the immersion a bit for me.
• Last but not least, the game made my PC crash TWICE! 😂

Very solid lego game, but a little lacking in content compared to The Complete Saga and with less depth in character variety/fighting styles
