My vote went to Final Fantasy X-2. I hate everything about FFX-2. Why did I vote for it? Well...
For starters, I bought it on eBay for $1. I didn't even bother playing it when it arrived.
A number of months later I was out in middle of nowhere on a boat, well away from any road or city. I had just gone through hell only to discover that the one thing I wanted from life was unattainable. I had narrowly avoided becoming grizzly chow, all of my possessions had spent a few hours in a saltwater bath, and the hundreds of pounds of food on board had begun its transformation to the most horrid mold imaginable. I had failed. But I did not want to go back, not yet.
So I set up my solar panel, hooked up the PS2, and played Final Fantasy X-2 from start to finish. On solar power. Every time a cloud passed in front of the sun I had to start over from my last save. Often I had to let a charge build up for hours so I could play for one. Even so, I made it through the bonus dungeon on the first play and beat all of the unfair uber-bosses without a walkthrough, even the cheating bastard at the bottom.
As god-awful as it is, it is the game I spent a month playing in the most beautiful, serene place I have ever been. It is the game that cheered me up in a time of absolute despair.
For that reason alone is it the best game ever.
