Hello everybody!

My name is Andrew and I am a listener here on 7 Cups of Tea. I just found this forum section and thought it would be a great opportunity to start to get involved in conversation with other gamers.

So my question to you is: what are your favorite video games and why are they your favorite? They can be for any system, including the system in your response would be even more awesome! I personally game on my PS3 and my recently bought PS4.

Here is a list of some of the games I like to play:

Grand Theft Auto V - Though this game has violent aspects to it, I really love the online play. The constant competition is something that keeps me busy and the race for money and power keeps me intrigued. I really love the immense amount of customization and immersement that the game allows because I can truly enjoy role playing in that whole world. I recently started playing on PS4 which opened it up to so much more and I really do enjoy it.

Battlefield 3 - While this may be a bit outdated with the releases of Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1, I still really love this game. I still play on the PS3 so the servers are not always full but the maps and the gameplay are really fun. I love the teamwork that is in Battlefield as a whole and the actual tactic used as opposed to the wild play of other games like Call of Duty.

Fallout 4 - I have not actually played this game a ton yet but I enjoy what I've done so far. I played a bit with a friend on his system and liked the gameplay so I bought it when I got my PS4. I tried it with some of the mods but I am going to stick to normal, vanilla gameplay for now to just see how the game goes.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive - I actually play this game on PC but I don't have a great one so I don't get to play often. I find the playerbase hilarious and I think it is just a fun fps game.

Little Big Planet 2- This is the final one on the list, I have this game for PS3 and I have to say, I really enjoy playing the custom maps people do. They tend to put a lot of work and humor into it which just makes it a fun game to play in my spare time.

I am excited to hear from you all about your favorites!

Sims, all of them helped me through rough times of loneliness of the comfort of home and opportunity and adventure honestly. I dont know how it did but it did!

Skyrim: Oblivion and Skyrim: Elder Scrolls both helped me love life again. I wish life was more fantastical? But I also believed in the magic of this world too, even when lacking that certain fantasy found jn these games.

Final Fantasy games and Suikoden: Both are helping me to this day have love for life. I love being alone and this allows for me to explore without concern for my phobia of bugs and my muscles getting big from running everywhere like I make the characters do!

Earthbound

i aspire to make a game like this within my lifetime. The humor, the homeliness, the sense of adventure, I replay it through all stages of my life.

I have always loved the Civilization games, and that's the one I tend to always go back to. smiley

I love midnight club 3 remix because the racing aspect is really fun and can get pretty challenging as you progress and get faster cars. It also brings out my creative side, since you can do almost anything to your cars.

I also love open world games and role playing games. I'm a huge fan of the Witcher became the story and characters are so fleshed out and detailed. I've even picked up a few lessons of life from them. I love Fallout and Borderlands because the whole environment and time period is so wacky it's good. And I always love a good scare every now and again​, so silent hill and resident evil for me.

I think my favorite video game is Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I think it was one of the very first video games I played, if not the first. I guess it's familiar to me, and that I find it pretty relaxing. Plus I just think it's fun.

Need for Speed

Because I just love the cars and driving! Cars customization & unlock, Challenges, Milestones, Bounty. I just love it!

Max Payne

Another awesome game I loved! Why? Because it makes you think "What's next?"

Deus Ex Human Revolution

Amazing game with great storyline.

Some other games I played, GTA, Assasins Creed, Prince of Persia, Counter Strike, Call of Duty and few more.

In brief, I oved playing these games because it's a way to bust my stress and frustrations! It makes my mind calm and focused. It diverts mind!

@ASilentObserver Actually I found Deus Ex was a pretty good one to watch someone else play as well. The storyline for that game is interested!

Animal Crossing - I can disappear from the world for a little while. My town is super pretty and it's a place where I can be fully accepted for who I am. Somewhere where I'm not homeless and without real friends in my life. Everything is just so cute and positive.

Nintendo: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 3, Zelda, and Star Tropics are just a few that come to mind.

SNES: Super Mario Kart, Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Donkey Kong 1-3.

N64: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Kart 64, and Wave Race.

Others: GTA: San Andreas, GTA 4 & 5, and Kingdom Hearts.

I like playing video games (not very well) sometimes because it's a good way to unwind. I don't play them often but when I do, it's always fun. 😄🎮

I suck at video games now though lol. But I still enjoy it!

Fire Emblem Fates: Great storyline. I could get lost for hours fighting alongside my daughter, my siblings, my wife, and that one farm girl. Except all the Azura stuff makes me cry inside.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: The controls might not be great, but it's adorable!

Kid Icarus: The original for the NES made me laugh with joy! 10/10 for sure!

Style Savvy: I ask you don't judge me for my love of this game. It's just so cute! Plus it's fun to make outfits, and girls have a lot of options.
