For 90s kids, there’s no need for explanation. For others, well, pokemon was a phenomenon. It was everywhere, on TV, in magazines, toys, stickers. You could trade pokemon at the school excursion on the bus.
You felt alive in this world, pokemon gen 1-2 were the pinnacle of pokemon for me. And in gen2, finishing the game, and lo and behold, there’s a whole other region (kanto) waiting for you to explore it. The night cycle in the game blew my mind in ways that I have been chasing ever since.
I know it will never be reached again, but the memory will remain as powerful as it was that evening of the early 00s. What is your greatest gaming high, that you know will never be topped again, and that you have been chasing ever since?
A lot of gaming highs from time to time that engulfed me into gaming completely.
The very first high was the OG Half Life. Before that I didn’t know that Games could have a story like that.
Then Max Payne 1&2, it was like playing a Noir Matrix movie.
Then GTA Vice City (and its soundtrack) hooked me up for a long time.
Then Far Cry 3 which has made me buy every subsequent Far Cry game ever since (yet to feel that again).
And the last one was “Assassin’s Creed Origins”, which being a fan of ancient Egypt, was a dream come true.
Far Cry 2 was the last good thing Ubisoft produced. And it was very good.
Fuk Ubi. Forever. Never spending another cent on them.
