what was the first video game that made you look at gaming seriously

[CELL]

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.

Unbelievable almost cinematic experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. One of the GOAT games that made me stop seeing games as a kid from a tap and bash perspective to judging them for their soundtracks, the character stories and the complexity and design of each task or puzzle.

When I read the title i immediately thought of Metal Gear.

First game I played with real adult themes and concepts.

The gameplay was real and methodical and almost puzzle like. You had to think your way through everything.

Might be the Goat franchise. Can't wait for MGSV

Idk if I ever had that moment, but I'd say once GTA3 dropped, I took video games out my parents hands and took a more active role in it.

Everything was fun and games until Metel Gear Solid read my games

FF7 for me. Game was like life and art...truly greatness

I will have to say Grand Theft Auto 3 for me. And it was crazy because right before I heard of it my brother had a friend of his spend the night with us and went to BlockBuster to rent a couple of games. We ended up renting Grand Theft Auto 2 and I remember us trying to beat the game that night. Then when Part 3 came out and I got it, I was like, this is too crazy. I didn't know how they was going to top it.

I'd say it was MGS1. shyt, the MGS1 DEMO had me like .

I'd say FF7 and OOT are also up there with it. Funny thing is I only completed OOT 4 years ago despite me playing it when it first came out.

Pokemon Red.

I picked charmander and said this is the future.

 

[BBG]

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

 

[Bondye Vodou]

 

[HookersandIceCream]

Resident Evil 2 deserves a mention

The two disc with two separate play thought
The bosses
The unlockables that required multiple playthoughs
The stupid puzzles
Having to look up walkthroughs

if im being honest i have to say halo 2...

that was the first game that truly showed me the true joy of gaming when teaming up with my bro and cousin... and we just ran slayer and skirmish games...

just the level of competition... teamwork and strategy... all just truly made videogaming into a hobby that i would compare in importance to sports, bytches etc.
