I think the last time I did a "top 10 favorite video games ever" post, Mother 3 was my second favorite game ever, behind something, so that means it's probably my favorite RPG ever. Unless Crystalis was my favorite game ever, because that was an action RPG... I dunno though. I liked Skyrim a whole lot (and Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion back in their heydays...) But I dunno. I also love me some Poke Manz...

Let's assume Mother 3 is my favorite for a moment. That would be because of the characters and the emotional impact they had on me. There's a scene near the beginning of the game that is one of the saddest, most powerful moments to me in a video game ever, involving my favorite character in the game (Flint.) Pretty sure it elicited an audible reaction from me, and I stayed up thinking about it and drew some fan art of it, heh. The end is also highly emotional. But yeah; the rest of the game is great too. It feels like a late 80's-early 90's adventure cartoon show. The game play may not be revolutionary, but it's serviceable.

If Crystalis is my favorite, it is probably mostly because of nostalgia and great game play. The story, while with a couple twists, isn't amazing, although it was pretty good for a video game back in its day. The characters are fairly one-dimensional, but again, good for their day I suppose. I would say the setting is pretty creative. Probably one of the high marks of this game. However, I could probably go back and enjoy playing this game over and over again. It's truly a classic in my eyes.

Skyrim is really pretty, really immersive, and it lets you do pretty much anything you want. Kinda like every other installment of Elder Scrolls before it that I've played; I love the freedom these games provide. Daggerfall had like 6 different "endings" (every game keeps on going after "the end.") I love the lore, races, etc as well. Morrowind was probably the most imaginative in the series, and I really want to play the expansion of Skyrim where you go back to Vvardenfell.

Poke Manz... it's Poke Manz. What more can you say? Super addictive games. There's the sense of discovery you get at finding each new pokeman, and the fact that you can use any combination of pokemanz that you want, it almost gives you as much freedom as an Elder Scrolls game (but in a different way.) Plus, those pokemanz are so ADOWABLE! :3

Which one is my favorite?
