Man, I remember you spending so much time on Borderlands 2! This one have its hooks in you now? 
We haven't played the third one yet. We bought it (super cheap) but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Finding time to play lately has been a problem again but I've enjoyed what I've played. I do appreciate that they've made each game noticeably different rather than cranking out too similar games a la Mega Man NES. Have you played Seven Sirens already?
We're going to give that to my oldest son for his birthday, but that's a little ways off still. I've heard really good things about that game so far!
With the roll you've been on lately of finishing games, now might be a great time to finally plunge into Jade Empire!
Nice! I've had a hard time finishing things lately. Not enough time! The only Tales game I ever played was Symphonia on the GameCube. Didn't finish it though. The battle system never really clicked with me and boss battles, in particular, were a slog of potion-binging. I wish I had finished it though. I was 70something hours in and right near the end. Oh well.
I have yet to play a Ratchet & Clank game despite owning several 
You are always moving onto the next thing lol. But hey, you have experience with a much wider range of games than I do.
Cary, I expect you to be the king of Pac-Man 99!
Now that I've shelved Octopath, I have to decide what to play now. Ys VIII is definitely a possibility, but there are so many possibilities! 
It's definitely more of a "reimagining" but I guess that doesn't roll of the tongue as well lol
Stage Select
You are a cruel man, Julian Titus, to force this choice upon us! But I find that my top three has not changed in the last twenty years, which I think speaks more to the power of nostalgia than a lack of quality games in these last two decades.
3. Super C (NES) - My older brother and I played this game so much back in the day, slowly getting better and better till we could finally beat it. To this day I can pick it up any time and play through without using a continue. It cemented my love of run-n-gun games and is still the archtype of the genre in my mind.
2. Final Fantasy VI (SNES) - This is probably the most important game of my young formative years. The characters and story were so far beyond anything we had ever seen before and the music had a huge hand in shaping my tastes (we often used cassette tapes to record game music and FFVI was foremost among them). We played through it so many times and even just thinking about it makes me want to go fire up my SNES Classic.
1. Metroid Prime (GameCube) - No game has ever blown me away like Metroid Prime. The look and feel and sound of the game were spot on, sucking me into the world of Tallon IV. The action was tight and satisfying without being the focus of the game and you could go as deep or shallow as you wanted with the story and worldbuilding. I was all in. Plus I played through it a few years ago and it holds up incredibly well. Yes, it is so firmly entrenched in my mind as my favorite game that it's really not fair to newer games I play, but I also firmly believe it deserves the spot. Metroid Prime is just as excellent with or without rose-colored glasses.
Cage Match
Chex are delicious and Quest 64 left a bad taste in my mouth, so I'm going with Chex Quest.
Good good! You were always terrible at math! Play it every day!
