Does "The Perfect Game" Exist?

I don't have a game like this.

I'm going with LoZ: Majora's Mask.

Xenoblade Chronicles. The soundtrack is great, the Gameplay is legendary, and most importantly, it takes 100+ Hours to complete. If you're going for 100%, 200+. Which leaves you with a long time to enjoy the game.

I have two. Shame on me. Anyways, they are Grand Theft Auto IV and Sleeping Dogs. If you've seen any of the trivia that I've posted then you most likely know that I love GTA. Not only is IV my favorite, but I cannot find a flaw in it. Nice graphics, especially for its age, characters that you learn to grow relations with, whether you grow to hate them or to like them. The city is perfect, as it is detailed immensely and I never grow tired of stalking the alleyways that are resided by homeless people and drug dealers. The story is great, the weapon selection is perfect, and I've never gotten tired of the game, especially since it has 2 DLC stories that show a new perspective of the story and the city. Whether it be the gritty biker life of The Lost and Damned or the flashy, nightclub life of The Ballad of Gay Tony, the game(s) stay perfect in every way.

Now onto my second game, Sleeping Dogs. Open world is my favorite genre, whether it be games like Skyrim and Fallout or Watch Dogs and Grand Theft Auto. Sleeping Dogs only caught my attention last year. Before that, I was just like all of my friends beside one. "It's just GTA in Hong Kong" they all said and still do say. I was skeptical towards the game as well, but I tried it out and loved it. With a range of different characters that you get attached to, the game's story is superb and is one the best stories that I've experienced in a game. The city is beautiful and I can spend countless hours in Hong Kong. The martial arts concept is great and it feels like a good old Jackie Chan flick. The DLCs are also great and you can add a couple hours of play into them as well, as they are their own short stories. If you haven't played Sleeping Dogs then do so. It's worth it. I just can't wait until the sequel.

What I mean is, does a truly flawless game actually exist? One with no flaws or faults? I'm not saying a great game or your favorite game, I mean a game absolutely devoid of sin.

I'm leaning towards no, which seems weird because with a lot of games just fixing little stuff could get them close. Closest one for me would probably be Portal since it's such a neat tight package of good game.

Haven't we already made a thread based on this?

EDIT: looks like I was right (https://www.vgfacts.com/forums/thread-1735.html)

Is there any possibility for a thread merging?

EDIT 2: thank you

Tetris.
How can you sin Tetris? It is what it is and is highly addictive.

I absolutely agree with this. Something highly addictive and puzzle related is probably the best answer here.

That being said... I do feel like We Love Katamari could be contender. It's got the addiction factor, plenty of levels, and you can play it over and over and over again to try and get the best Katamari for the levels as possible. To this day I'll still fire the game up again and play it a bit.

Second:
Tetris is good and all, but Tetris DS is friken amazing. However you can play that game forever.
I gave up after maxing out the line cleared counter and the score. Also my legs went numb on the toilet.

Not enough line pieces. Needs more line pieces. Call me when they fix this problem.

Tetris has a tendency to become extremely repetitive and boring, and in order to counter that, different modes would have to added, but even though would get boring, because at the end of the day, all you are doing is matching shapes well enough to make a line. Repetition in a game makes it far from perfect.

Repetition in a game makes it far from perfect.

The thing is is that that same repetition makes it possible to play over and over. With such simple rules, it can be easily learned and hard to master. With a simple scoring system, it very easy to track one's progress over time, not only in you highest score ever but also in your consistency. Even without many different game modes, puzzle games potentially have the highest skills ceiling possible. While you might see repetition, a skilled player sees literally billions of potential combinations that assures a different game literally every time you power on. I guess not everyone will see that value, but it's very hard to deny that Tetris doesn't accomplish this brilliantly.

Its the problem of infinite tastes and finite time. I love Fallout : New Vegas. I can overlook 90% of the bugs. I've played through it so many times I've lost count. Don't make me play it again. I've done WAY too much of it.

[Colossus]

I'm almost into 100 hours of Xenoblade chronicles 2. It has flaws but my god does it keep you playing after beating the game (I beat it 40 hours ago). Would that count?

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

The perfect game doesn't ex---
