We had a good run
Reader votes so list is too influenced by current games. Seems weighted by people who were like 8 when N64 games came out.
No SMB3?
GTAV over San Andreas?
Sonic in the 50s?
Twighlight Princess ahead of Link to the Past?
... planetscape torment... elite... the fuck.
One of your favorites, but not your favorite or the best game you have ever played, right?
Lol
Edit: buy a system that will play Code Veronica!
A better game, FF VI, isn't even on the list.Smg at 71. Smg2 97. Wow. A few more games and smg2 is off the list.
I noticed that it's on PSNow and I'm kind of tempted...but I feel obligated to play through Zero first but I haven't touched it since my last thread update haha. I also have Last of Us Remastered to finish on my grounded run and I'm heading back to school soon with just my Vita so idk if it will happen any time soon. Sorry!
lol this list.
TLOU #1 ?
The game is good yes, but come on. It didn't exert any influence over the industry.
Saying it's better than OOT, Re4, half-life 2, ... is just non-sense.
The multiplayer is fun because of the low ammo, crafting, teamwork focused nature of it with stealth elements.
The single player is fun for the same reasons with a heavier emphasis on stealth but minus the teamwork.
I love both of these elements, and love the multiplayer for it. However, the gunplay isn't a huge part of the experience here, the hit detection might be excellent, but I don't agree that you feel the kills to the extent you're saying you do or that the headshots are anywhere near unmatched. You mention gears, that's a game I would instantly say has better headshots, hell even Mass Effect 3 has better headshots and I wouldn't say it has good gunplay.
The game excels at being a teamwork based TPS where your actions relative to your teammates matters a lot more than how you use your gun, and that's fine. But I can't agree that the gunplay is great.
All good reasons, just promise me you will play it eventually
A very respectable list, although I'm not sure about its order.
What's really sad about this all is, what happens in 10 years when no one cares about Zelda or Mario or Metroid, and Nintendo is even more irrelevant than they are today (or buried somewhere in the Pacific)? When Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and Space Dandy 3 are in the top ten lists and people forget these precious gems of our childhoods?
What happens to all the times we spent in our times?
I've been gaming for ~25 years, starting with the NES and a 486. The Last of Us is one of my favorite games of all times. I can't say that it's my favorite or the best because I don't rank my favorites. I just have a list of games that I really love. I can't rank them, I can't state definitively that any of them is the ONE favorite game. Hell, I doubt I could pare my list down to a top 10 unordered list. I always find it strange that people can say so definitively that some movie/game/book is their absolute favorite of all time. There are just too many amazing games/movies/books.
People need to get it out of their head that the only reason people could love so and so game is because they've never played any of the truly great ones, and must be ignorant of what's out there.
Is it me or is there not a single action game (à la DMC/Bayonetta/Ninja Gaiden... Hell even God Of War isn't on there)?
Also a lot of my favourite games aren't on the list bar a couple (like Dark Souls, Max Payne and STALKER) so I can't relate with it.
This has been explained on the thread, but tbf I imagine it would be buried in the posts at this point. Empire has a global fanbase but is a British magazine/website, and FFVI was not released over here until the PS1 compilation IIRC. Most Europeans never got to play it.
IMO Metroid Prime is above The Last Of Us in what it did for First Person Immersion that is still not equaled to this day. Its been called Gaming Citizen Kane for good reasons long before The Last of Us. This list is shit.
imho Twilight Princess is TOO high and the Mario Galaxies are TOO low
I would die laughing if this was the methodology, but I'm also a little sad that it's not.I wonder what methodology is employed when making a list like this. Probably like "Man, N64 with friends in school was so rad, let's make that the FPS ever", "Ocarina of Time OMG best game forever because people have been calling it the best game, forever", "Ah, but The Last of Us I cry evry tiem".
Ctrl+F: "Suikoden"
No results.
List discredited.

EDIT: Oh reader voted! lol disregard this post.
No Bayonetta means the voters don't know shit. Unsurprising.
I'm glad to see TP get recognition every once in awhile because the dungeons are fantastic.
I wish it didn't have to be on such a awful list though.
Thats actually a decent top 10 imo.
On a greatest games of all time list? I love Platinum, but the only game from them that belongs on here is Wonderful 101 and maybe Bayonetta.No Platinum Games, in general.
Vanquish, Bayonetta, and Metal Gear Rising all deserve high spots.
For sure. It's sad those games don't have the audiences they deserve.No Platinum Games, in general.
Vanquish, Bayonetta, and Metal Gear Rising are 3 of my favorite games of the last 10 years, easy and all would have a VERY easy spot finding a place in a top 100.
TW101 has way too many poorly balanced minigames. It would tie Bayonetta for Platinum's best title if its gameplay weren't so uneven. The combat and presentation are brilliant, the genre switches are not.On a greatest games of all time list?

Just looked at list...honest question when did Call of Juarez get popular?
