Cheers for sharing this, I didn't know there was such a contest. I do enjoy these posting initiatives, but alas, I'm too late for this one. I might just make my own Top 3 Games, just for fun, eh? I've already got a solid set of contenders in my head, though choosing between all those great games isn't particularly easy, I find.
I'm not much for fast-paced online games like Dota or CS:GO, but they're pretty neat games. Certainly, it's a great way to find and meet new people, while having fun in the process! I know this from my days playing Team Fortress 2... Ah, what a nice time that was, but detracted somewhat from all the pay-to-win perks and weapons that I never had.
But... I do have an extensive amount of experience with GTA San Andreas, and oh my goodness it's bringing me back memories of my childhood playing this on the PS2. I've since replayed it more than once on the PC, too. It's such a great game, with a wide-open world to just let you do whatever you want. I remembered once the game was over, I just entered a butt load of cheats and fought wave after wave in 6-star mode.
Just a friendly competition to see who can last the longest between me, and my little brother. On that note, I've been watching some interesting videos of secret missions and other ways of completing the storyline. Even after a decade of San Andreas, plus at least two dozen re-plays, I've never realised they existed. I'm going to need to replay them now...
You can always join next month. This was my second participation, which means I'm already a month old on HIVE. Yes definitely make your own top 3 Games, I know you'll have some unique choices.
I was always a bit competitive person. I don't show it outside but when I do feel it, I practice a lot. That's why I really enjoyed 6 years of my life playing DOTA and CS and really good at it. I remember my username being "Noob_tooPro4U" 😄. Cringy stuff.
It's amazing GTA has so many hidden missions and easter eggs. I really didn't know about the two variances that you linked above. Mostly I was either trying different mods or killing cops like you. I've completed the game 3 times I think. The third time I challenged myself to not use any cheat codes. Good Times :)
Oh my god, you're on of those people aren't you 🤣😂?! The one that's going to snipe me from across the map a mile away, and headshot me with the starter pistol as I turn around the corner!
Indeed, it's pretty to amazing to see a game with so many different little details that I never noticed before. Modding was something that I tried a bit, before it broke the game entirely. I have tried to complete GTA without cheats though, but that's hard to do when you can just spawn a tank in the middle of a firefight. Makes things easier, and more fun 😁
