re: First video game that blew your mind

The first game to really blow my mind was FFX on PS2

---

To this day this is the only final fantasy I've ever played and I probably logged over 100 hours. I was blown away by the graphics, especially every time you'd summon one of those beastly monsters to fight with you.

Still never figured out blitz ball though

First game I ever played was pit fall, so that kinda did..

So in order..

Then Mario 1 came out and it was awesome.

Then I discovered river city ransom.

Then I saw street fighter 2 in the arcade

Then mortal kombat 1

Then DOOM

Then resident evil 1

Then Grand Theft Auto 3

Then RDR 2

For someone who had pong set up for their tv, I gotta say this game blew me away. The music, the graphics, the adventure and level design was so cool the first time I played it.

Super Metroid
MGS1

I remember the first time I played this was at one of those demo consoles at Circuit City (shows how old the game is ). Whoever last played it was down by 11 points as the 76ers with two minutes and I came back to win it, but it just felt so pure of a comeback and not like "well it's a video game". I've been hooked on 2K Sports since after owning every NBA Live game.



Something about having the little bat joystick so you had to get the pitch location right and the timing right. I know other games had that, but having the joystick was a cool touch. Spent a lot of time at that game back when we had our GameWorks here in Texas, and had to find one to put in my game room

I won a shite load of tickets there on the token bowling machine thing, like a thousand+ it seemed.

OoT. Kokiri Forest blew my 8 year old brain out of my head. Seeing Hyrule Field for the first time is still one of the most surreal and vivid memories I have of my childhood.

The stat system for delta force land warrior had me stuck playing non stop as a kid, pre counter strike, I’m an old.

Bionic Commando was just cool as hell to play for me, but as far as mind-blowing, Legend of Zelda was probably it for me.

That swing mechanic blew my mind. I played through that game so many times.

There are many badass moments for me. Many have been mentioned. I'd echo Halo CE, and the scene in RDR when your floating down river in mexico on a raft, you hit the banks and the music starts..man that hit me

The first last of us had great moments that pulled you in too


But for me it's WoW...first time I took the gryphon from Elwynn Forrest to Stormwind and you fly in and music kicks in and the massive statues greet you..man that stays with you.
