What is the best video game on earth?

Super Metroid.

>>381033640
Dwarf Fortress, objectively.

>>381033717
La-mulana, SotN, and AM2R are better.

Tetris.

>>381033830
This man knows the truth. Listen to him.

>>381034127
Tetris is a game designer's wet dream. But best ever? ...aahhnn.... dunno.

>>381033640
The Witcher 3.
Nothing else comes close.

>>381033830
Dwarf Fortress is too niche. It can't be the best.

The best would be something which universally applies to everyone.

>>381033640
Tetris is literally flawless, but that's too easy. You could argue that Pong can't be improved upon.
The game that does the most things right is Bloodborne. There hasn't been a game that presents atmosphere and story in a similarly amazing way and still having great gameplay and content diversity.

FUUUUUUCKIIIIINNNNGGGGGG
CAAAAASSUUUUUUAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

>>381035039
Symphony of the Night comes very close. It's only flaw is it's easy difficulty

>>381035162
But Hollow Knight is a better game than SotN

>>381035248
Hmmmm..

No. Haha

>>381035162
But Bloodborne is also very easy. I haven't gotten around to SotN yet but a game being too easy is usually not that big of a problem because you can often challenge yourself.
I wish I could find a good d-pad for 2D games.

>>381035356
>Bloodborne is very easy

I'm fairly sick of this meme. It is harder than most games and takes a good 60 hours or so to get through it all, name five games harder than Bloodborne if you disagree

>>381034127
This, desu.

>>381033717
FPBP

>>381035573
Other souls games. I think Bloodborne is a good baseline for difficulty for ~20-25 year old people who are at the peak of their life in terms of reaction time and familiarity with their own fingers.
I shouldn't have said very easy, though. That's stupid. It's very well balanced in terms of difficulty, but it has much fewer bullshit moments than other souls games but also games like Witcher or older RPGs.

>>381034384
Pong is a designer's wet dream, fool.

>>381035304
>better bosses
>better atmosphere
>better level design

SotN has better OST and more varied combat, but it also feels more empty and the areas can be very similar to the point of repetition

Nope! Hahahaha

>>381036630
Now you're supposed to tell me why you like SotN more
I like both games a ton too just saying

>>381036024
That's less than five, so yes if anything it is VERY difficult in terms of gameplay, but balanced enough for it not to be bullshit. Exactly what a game should be in my opinion

And Witcher is not very hard, you really just need alot of preparation before you get into combat

Doom.

>>381036815
Don't need to

>>381036931
You haven't even played both games I'm sure. You're just disregarding hollow knight cause its a kickstarted indie game vs your nostalgia

>>381036874
Good taste anon, I can't think of a better singleplayer shooter honestly

The best man in the world could never be beaten by the average joe.

The best game would be the most fun of all time under the best circumstances

which is dwarf fortress

>>381036842
No, I was getting at Witcher's bullshit moments.

SotN is severely overrated
It gets credit for starting a good formula, but many of the other Castlevanias that came after refined it to a much better place
Aria of Sorrow is the best one

>>381037747
There are even some recent indie games that refined it better than SotN......

Team Fortress 2 has the best combination of content, skill ceiling, and game design.
>>381033717
tf2 has higher content and skill ceiling than super metroid
>>381033857
tf2 has more content and equal skill ceiling to melee
>>381034127

precisely, you don't have an argument. by your own lack of words, Hollow Knight is better.

TF2 is a mediocre game propped up by faggots who played it as their first competitive FPS because muh inviting artstyle and le funneh maymays, which in turn led it to having by far the most cancerous and insecure player base imaginable.

Diablo 2 is ~20 years old, and still better than 95%+ of AAA games released nowadays.

There's some fantastic stuff, obviously. Last really good game I played was The Witcher 3 and Forza Horizon 3; don't see much coming up that will challenge these for quality.

I like both, what is it that bothers you about DoS' castle?

>soundtrack
jesus christ no, AoS' soundtrack is easily the weakest of the Metroidvanias, except maybe for Harmony of Dissonance (and I like AoS' soundtrack)

since you're a AoSfag, here, you might not know this:

Oh come on /v/, I know you like to cut down tall poppies as soon as they present themselves, but stop arguing for the sake of arguing. TF2 has you beat.
>>381038450
I don't mean quality, I mean content-- the amount of stuff you can do in a game, thus its replayability.
TF2 has far, far higher replayability than Doom and Super Metroid due to its much wider variety of content. In addition to 14 base game modes and Mann vs Machine with 9 different classes and 170+ unique weapons (as opposed to Doom's cell-shell-bullet-rocket limitations), it's got heaps of custom content as I outline below, that would take you decades to get through it all.
>>381038456
>naming .wads
TF2 has trillions upon billions of pieces of custom content in addition to its main game, too. See pic for just a tiny fragment. TF2's community has churned out maps, mods, game modes, weapons and cosmetics en masse.
Doom may have had a long time for people to make .wads, but TF2 has a bigger custom creation base and a lower barrier to entry.
TF2's replayability is higher than Doom's.
>>381038593
>tf2 has more content than almost 25 years of user-made maps and mods
Yes. See above. /v/ culture choosing to venerate games because they're old doesn't change reality. TF2 has had 10 years to accumulate user-made maps and mods, and what's more, it was easier for players to work on said maps and mods, with more accommodating creation tools and a bigger userbase.

>>381038798
Not an argument.

>>381039071
>DoS only added on top of AoS, unless I'm mistaken? what did they remove?
Weapon synthesis curbed the absolute fuck out of weapon variety and aquisition.

>>381039670
still waiting on that list of weapons that's missing from Dawn

please don't tell me you're actually counting short sword clones as weapon variety

>>381039891
>please don't tell me you're actually counting short sword clones as weapon variety
It's more variety than "sword sword upgrade #x" that you don't even need to find or drop

Granted I've only played through it and DS1 but both were complete snoozefests.
Not to mention both run like shit, you'd think devs would understand that but no.

>>381033640
Doom, especially with wads increasing its lifespan indefinitely.

The second game I would say would be GTA san andreas.

>>381035039
Tetris can and has been improved upon. When people talk about Tetris being perfect they never talk about any specific versions of Tetris but the concept of Tetris. If you actually look into the different versions of Tetris they all have their flaws, and many different mechanics have been introduced over the years that make the game more enjoyable from improvements to the piece randomizer to wall kick and input buffering

>>381047103
Doom can't be the perfect game, because it isn't comfy. You are not always in the mood for fast-paced action and dark music.

The perfect game has in equal amounts comfy parts and dark/scary parts.

>>381033640
Quake

>>381033640
desu this is too vague of a question to get any really insightful responses. it should be broken down by genre or by metric at the very least.
my personal favorite game is kotor 2 but i don't think i could call it the "best" because there's so much that's wrong with it.

>>381035039
>>381034127
I fucking hate matthew mattosis dick riding faggots who claim tetris is the perfect game simple because it only works as a videogame. Look at something as simple as Snake. A line that catches a dot on the screen. It's just as fucking perfect and it also only works as a game too, so fuck off.

>>381053659
Please explain to me how finding various shortswords throughout the castle with unique animations and effects is less variety than picking the one weapon you like the best and then just upgrading it over and over and having nothing change but the damage number and sprite

>Age of Empires II
>Rollercoaster Tycoon
>Rome: Total War

I honestly can't decide which is the best, but I'll give it to AoEII because of the multiplayer.

The only correct answer.

>>381043719
My nigga

>>381053737
wrong. if aliens were to land on earth, they would have trouble understanding snake because they don't know what snakes are. the game is built off of human culture, however simple. same as pong, it's based off of a game humans play in real life. tetris requires absolutely no knowledge of humanity and earth to understand the mechanics and gameplay.

>>381056143
your assuming that these aliens see color, or even see within the very narrow band we do
