We ARE cool!!!
If you replaced Grim Fandango and Shenmue with GTA IV, Halo 4, Skyrim, MGS4, or Mass Effect 2/3, it could pass for a "worst of" thread on GAF

Yeah man, the article totally mentions the 1983 game based on the band Journey, which makes a lot more sense than all of the WTF games listed, and for whatever reason doesn't show up in the list.
I'm calling shenanigans. This might be Photoshopped.

Even that would be extremely unfair.

all chilean press is shit, but LUN profits from lurking on retarded internet forums and giving the masses a drip of that
Straight from 1997.

Like I said, I would have removed a few of those games. 1, 2, 3, 7, and 10 (kind of) are pretty awful, but the rest are just mediocre to amazing levels of quality.
The three you mentioned would definitely be on there, along with Extreme PaintBrawl and Superman for the N64 or maybe Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis. Hell, get rid of ten and replace it with Ninjabread Man.
I just wonder if the writers of the article even played any of the games we mentioned.

I just wanna say that there is a good community of non-stupid gamers on Chile and LUN is one of the worst newspapers. Thanks.
I was poking fun of the fact that worst of threads on GAF inevitably lead to most popular games getting mentioned at least once.
The article appears on the LUN site exactly as it appears on the OP
Awful awful list....
the Uruguayan prime beef is way too expensive nowadays here in Chile, why don't you bring some?
I legit think this is like.. an error or something
is there a full article in spanish? I live in Uruguay and im going to Chile next wednesday, but now im debating it

Lo se mi hermano, lo se. But WTF is wrong with the writers of that list, even if those titles were held in low regard by them, Shenmue and Okami are legitimate good games that have no place in such a list.
I agree!!!

The "experts" are just two random guys and the newspaper is the worst. I love Tim Schafer and Platinum, I never thought that this was going to be on GAF.
They aren't "two random guys", they teach videogames to future devs...

Edit your post bro. I don't think you're prepared for what you're about to unleash.

IGN has zero credibility on my list so I truly don't give a dime about their opinion. However, Okami is a really good crafted game bloated by hours of unnecessary filler stuff, and some really unfortunate design choices. I loved it when it got released and I still appreciate it's beautiful art style. It's definitely a great game.
Back to that list: You really can't put Pac-man in any "worst X games" list since it's already transcended the limits of any sort of judgment. Pac-man is now part of our culture in the same way Tetris is. Regardless of subjectivity, the cultural importance of such titles exempts them from being treated as regular games.
Edit: Ah, so he placed the worst version of Pac-man on that list. I still stand by my point.

Not actually that important
According to experts that list is clearly missing Dark Souls, the worst videogame of all time.
The only thing that I can think of is that for some reason they were also taking money into account. As far as I know all of the good games on that list had sales below expectations.
However that would be a very strange list to mix worst games with games that didn't sell as much as expected.

Guys, don't made a big deal about this

Except for Pinochet, my fellow latin American friend from a country affected by some military junta on the power
But that list is quite a peculiar troll...
