Edit: NOT IN ORDER AFTER THE FIRST 10

So I attempted my own Top 100 Games of All Time List... obviously I havn't played every game ever made and all lists are bias towards personal preferences.

List thread.

 

[Grakl]

This is one of my top 100 favorite threads tbh

 

[daveo42]

This is going to end well. I can feel it.

 

[Gintoki]

Game X and Game Y aren't on the list, I disagree with this whole list

 

[cyba89]

Better than Edge

What are the other 99?

 

[Afrocious]

Persona 4 not found

 

[Ray Down]

This will go as well as all list threads

 

[Grakl]

What are the other 99?

brb making a thread

 

[Triggerhappytel]

...Halo The Master Chief Collection?!

 

[manueldelalas]

Final Fantasy 7 over 6? What is this shit?

 

[Woffls]

I'll try this later and get bored at about 40. Respect to anyone with the dedication to create a top 100, ordered or not.

 

[HyperCubed4]

What do you like about Grim Fandango? I started playing it a few months ago, but I found it to be a bit too difficult for my liking. Maybe I'm just not an adventure game kind of guy. I loved the writing, though.

 

[canedaddy]

Lacks personality... almost like you copied and pasted from Metacritic.

 

[Faith]

...Halo The Master Chief Collection?!

Why not? Best console shooter series of all time.

 

[Golgo 13]

Better than Edge

Was going to reply with this, that Edge list was funny as hell. Problem with a top 100 is there's still room to forget so many great games -- top 10's are so much easier to argue.

 

[Wagram]

#1 is terrible.

That's my over the top rage worthy opinion cause I disagree.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Well, no Souls is a crime, but not as bad as your inclusion of Final Fantasy 10.

This is much worse than the Edge list that I'm guessing you're reacting to.

Also OoT and Super Metroid are great, but nowhere near the best games of all time, unlike Dark Souls, which rightfully sits at the top of Edge's list.

 

[Yoshichan]

[manueldelalas]

I would never be able to pick a top 100; I have trouble with top 5... Have to replay a ton of them, because nostalgia clouds my memory.

 

[Floridian]

Zelda:OOT @ #1. Shocker

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

It would be interesting to see everyone's Top 10 list. 100 seems a bit much though lol.

The atmosphere it creates is unparalleled, there isn't really anything quite like it. The writing as you said is superb and it's extremely rewarding on your first playthrough when you finally solve a daunting puzzle. I think it's more enjoyable on the second playthrough but due to the cryptic difficulty in some portions of the game it would be quite near the bottom of the list if I were to list them numerically.

You're good.

Well at least we know where this list belongs:

 

[dave is ok]

30% of your 100 are Nintendo games. We get it. You like Nintendo

 

[Gbraga]

DMC getting no love today.

I would never be able to pick a top 100; I have trouble with top 5... Have to replay a ton of them, because nostalgia clouds my memory.

Me neither. As I said in the Edge thread, I don't think I've played 100 good games in my life.

 

[dealer-]

Same, I don't think I've even got an outright favourite game. I pick holes in everything, so I'm never sure if I actually loved a game after completing it.

 

[dead souls]

Better than Edge

Indeed it is.

 

[bug_42]

So many games tied for the 11th place.

 

[zonezeus]

Rename it Top 100 Console Games of All Time With 5 Token PC Classics and I'll give it a solid 4/10.

Spoiler

10/10 for effort though.

 

[Reset]

I can't believe it. Someone actually was able to make a shittier list compared to the Edge's list.

 

[Einchy]

How dare you not have that one game that I like? Meet me after school, nerd.

 

[Farks!]

Wow! This list written by another person than me doesn't represente my tastes and opinions at all! Therefore I shall condemn it as a bad list!

 

[Dicer]

Someone never owned any fringe consoles I see...

 

[Acosta]

1. Ocarina of Time

zzzzzzz, no need to read more. So boring.

The time Ocarina would be "best game ever" is long passed, move on.

Spoiler

A Link to the Past is better

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Why not? Best console shooter series of all time.

Sure, but A) isn't it still pretty broken?, and B) doing a collection like that is cheating in a 'Best Games Ever' list. Why not also include Super Mario All Stars instead of SMB3, or Zelda: Collector's Edition instead of OOT?

I feel it stands out as it's own game, only real way to play these games online (3 and 4 are still up and running on 360 but with dead communitys) and there's a remake of Halo 2. Super Mario All Stars is a good example as it's a similar case to Master Chief Collection, however I didn't feel All Stars surpassed the originals for some strange reason, can't really explain why.

 

[Shadoken]

OOT at #1 is sooo 2000s .... Gotta get with the times brah.

I see MvC2 and Phantasy Star 4 , thats all thats needed. 10/10.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

If the Master Chief Collection is a valid choice, then there's no way that Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World isn't the greatest video game in human history now and forever.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Ctrl-F Day of the Tentacle

0 of 0

Terrible list.

 

[Choomp]

You're a cool guy for that top three. I don't think I'd ever be able to put together a top 100.

 

[SteveTR]

Solid list. A lot of the games on there would probably make it onto my own list.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Explained in the post above but I did have Super Mario World on the list so I have no argument.

 

[Firemind]

No Advance Wars, so I declare EDGE to be the winner of this great debate.

Shame that a lot of the game is pretty difficult, but the writing is definitely something to be praised. You don't see that very often in games. The Last of Us is probably the most recent one.

I noticed that your list is mostly console games, with a few older PC games. Have you gotten into PC gaming recently? There are a lot of games that are definitely worth your time and there are a ton of resources that can help you find games if you're interested. Browser/Flash games are pretty great, too. I'd probably put a couple on my top 100 list.

Well at least we know where this list belongs:

Probably the opposite of Grim Fandango, in that the writing is utter garbage, but the game itself is quite fun.

 

[Verendus]

1. Ocarina of Time
Super Mario 64

Your list is fine, except you seem to have accidentally included these two crap games in there. I'm sure it was a mistake though, so we're good.
