Appreciate that pun! I totally forgot Erend had the hammer (been a while since I played it). Sony needs to get on a DLC where I can bonk robo dinos as Erend.

Lego lets you play interchangably as Aloy, Varl, Erend and Teersa of all people as soon as they are each unlocked along the main quest. It's got a fun little roguelike aspect to the levels, which you of all forumers might appreciate.

I'm gonna be in the same boat because I have to start packing for a move and the holidays are hitting. Currently at 45 hours though... I haven't binged a game like this since I was a teenager.

Need to hop back in now that there's been a couple updates. Was having a good time, but then the game would randomly go in slideshow mode for like a minute at a time. No rhyme or reason, happened in towns, happened when there was nothing around.

Yeah I'm on Xbox and I've not yet reached the point where the entire game stops working. But as soon as I start hitting big issues I will shut it down until the patches come. I JUST left the starting area after like 18 hours, so it may start to deteriorate now...

So--
Because I'm pretty certain Elden Ring is going to wind up in my top 5 favorite games of all-time. I decided to work on what that list actually looks like. The answer:
1. Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64 version had bomb multiplayer, Xbox remake is the version of the single player that holds up)
2. The Last of Us (PS3 originally, obviously has been remade for PS5)
3. Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360, but the trilogy remaster is very solid)
4. Metroid Prime (Switch remake is the one to play)
---
I think Elden Ring will go right here at #5 but could go as high as #3.
----
5. GTA 5 (what console isn't this on?)
6. Star Wars: Knights of Old Republic (Xbox)
7. Stardew Valley (PS4)
8. Super Mario Bros Wii (co-op is the bomb)
9. Mirror's Edge (360, PS3)
10. WWF: No Mercy (N64)
11. Zelda Breath of the Wild (Switch)
12. Bioshock Infinite (360, PS3)
13. Max Payne (Xbox)
14. Turtles in Time (SNES)
15. Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)
16. Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4)
17. Tony Hawk Pro Skater (play the PS4 remaster!)
18. Burnout 3 (Xbox-- remaster this you cowards!)
19. Persona 5 (PS4)
20. Read Dead Redemption 2 (PS4)
21. God of War (PS4)
22. Harvest Moon 64 (N64)
23. Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
24. Dead Cells (PS4)
25. Jade Empire (Xbox)
26. Time Splitters 2 (Gamecube, Xbox)
27. Inside (PS4)
28. 13 Sentinels: Agies Rim (PS4)
29. NBA Jam: Turbo Edition (SNES)
30. Worms Armegeddon (PC, N64, Dreamcast)

High five for Jade Empire and Burnout 3, both absolute classics. Surprised Bioshock Infinite beats out the original, but a small quibble since both were stellar.

They are both stone cold classics. I limited myself to one game per series though.

Great list. Fall Out 3 is def in my top 50 and Melee is in the top 100 if I were to go that far with it. Maybe I'll update at the end of the weekend.

I had made my list then completely forgot about for some reason. It’s probably my most played game of all time. Close to 1000 hours over the years at least.

That would be hard to do thinking back from childhood but I have not owned a console since the Sega Genesis (although I did own an N64 from a swap meet a couple years ago but not contemporary with its time in the sun). As well, I have some in my Steam inventory that are on that list that I just haven't gotten around to (e.g. Horizon Zero Dawn).
Your list has a surprising choice, to me, of Dead Cells. Don't get me wrong - excellent game and I burned countless hours on it - but nice to see it getting some love. As well, I think "favorites" is key. I also really like to see Inside on the list; fantastic game. I wonder what you thought of Limbo if you played it or Little Nightmares (I know Playdead only made Inside and Limbo but I consider Little Nightmares in the same class of game). Finally, I see Turtles in Time (great game)....have you tried TMNT Splintered Fate (or Shredder's Revenge for that matter - more like Turtles in Time)? I mentioned it upstream and have been having fun playing with online groups.
This list is going to be heavily skewed to games from my adulthood with a few exceptions.
Here is my, unnumbered (so it is not in order of preference) list, of all time favorites.
Ocarina of Time (played it when I got my swap meet N64 - blew me away; would really like to try BotW but no inclination to buy a Switch)
Last of Us (not my usual fare but when it got ported I had to try it and loved it)
Tomb Raider: Rise of the Tomb Raider
Arkham City (for both the Arkham and Tomb Raider reboots, I feel the middle ones captured them the best)
Hades (second one is great but the first is the benchmark)
Dishonored (never really gave stealth type games much attention till I played this)
RDR2 (this game is magical and if I did compel myself to number it might take top spot; just bought the first game port and can't wait to give it a go)
Warhammer Vermintide 2 (actually this might vie w/ RDR2 for the top spot; RDR2 has so much more going for it for immersion and story, but I have spent so many fun hours in Vermintide maps)
Cyberpunk 2077
God of War port (only GoW I have ever played; still need to get around to playing Ragnarok; I own it, have downloaded it, just haven't started)
Celeste (don't usually like platformers but it is a beautiful game)
Mario Kart 64 (memories of handles of cheap vodka and friends' bedrooms in high school; honorable mention to NBA Jam, another game friends and I played a lot growing up)
Max Payne 3 (I love all the games and have played through all of them many times on all difficulties, but this is my fave)
Left for Dead 1/2 (cluster them together 'cause when I used to play you could play all maps online from same server; it's the same reason I love Vermintide 2; horde management with strangers turned fellow survivors turned friends)
Streets of Rage 2/3/4 (I felt the first was the least refined)
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (I argue we wouldn't have the fluid type of combat you see in the Arkham games without it)
Wolfenstein The New Order

The thing about pickin your favorite games is that your probably gonna gravitate to stuff from your childhood. Whenever that was.
My top 20 in no particular order is something like this:
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Super Mario 64
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Metroid Prime
Fable
Halo 2
Half Life 2
Burnout Revenge
Guitar Hero 3
Resident Evil 4
GTA 4
Fallout 3
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Portal 2
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Overwatch
Bloodborne
Persona 5
Super Smash Bros (all of em, the series in general)
The most recent additions would probably be like Hades, Disco Elysium, and Elden Ring. But when I look at all time, I think toward how much I remember about a game and how much of an effect it had on me. I remember unique moments in each of these I mentioned and they've stayed with me. Harder to tell the longevity of more recent releases, but still playing plenty of great stuff.
