Is Redfall anywhere on this list?

Swap BOTW with GTA 3.
GTA 3 was 10 times more important and influential. Was also a better game for its time.

BOTW 1st!? 
It’s not even the best Zelda game let alone GOAT game

In terms of open world I would say Elder Scroll franchise, that's just my opinion

Game journalists have no taste for Strategy, Tactical, Simulator, Deck Building, Visual Novel, Shoot em ups, and dozens of other genre, which is sad

Very much in the minority seeing the reaction it got but I just couldn't get in to Disco Elysium.

RDR2 doesn’t deserve a spot here but I can understand the rest. RDR1 would make more sense than RDR2, and even that is pushing it.

I have played it lateley. The game is great as long as you are adaptable to old pre-standardized controls.

There's not a single shmup on the list
Botw over Ocarina?
Disco elysium higher than Super Mario world, ocarina, and rdr2?

Literally the most overrated game of all time, mostly due to politics.

No Symphony of the Night in the top 20? 
SlimySnake
Flashless at the Golden Globes
lol yep. An amazing game from start to finish. way better exploration, puzzles, and dungeons than whatever the hell botw was.
I will never ever understand how true Zelda fans can not just like that game but straight up consider it superior than any zelda games.

Yep. Mario 3 needs to be above World. It showed how to make the perfect sequel and it still is so unbelievably solid to this day. Happy to see Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, as well as Metal Gear Solid on that list.
Edit: just realized I skimmed over The Last of Us. 2nd best game ever? Not even close.

I just realized I skimmed over The Last of Us. 2nd best game ever? Not even close. Maybe if the gameplay was nearly as great/fun/replay able as the environments, atmosphere and story. It didn’t make it all the way through a second play through on the PS4.
Metal Gear Solid is a great example of amazing atmosphere and story followed up by addictive and highly replayable gameplay.

Tetris was a phenomenon. Broke through the gaming circles and became mainstream with mum's and dads and non gamers talking about it. It probably made the Gameboy a success and help put gaming on the map. And to top it off it's still extremely playable today. I remember playing it on release as 13yo and played it that much I was seeing it in my sleep lol.

It confirms to me that this list will drastically change every 15-20 years, and every time that happens you’ll all feel much older.
When 2045-2050 hits, there may be only 5 games left from the 90s on the next list.
Edit: Also 10 years ago was 2013, not 2003.

They say around the world, but isn't the voters list primarily just US and some EU? Also, I'm pretty sure I saw some who are just PR Managers, lol. Not to say they don't play games, but...Then there's the fact that I can feel a recency bias, but I guess that's why I don't put much stock in these.

I don't think there is enough strength in the 'game' elements in TLoU to get it to no.2 in an all time list.I don't like it being so far above something like Dark Souls when that game has so much great gaming in it.I know narrative is a huge part of modern gaming but it still feels off to me.

Honestly pretty damning how modern those are

Don't much care for the GTA series, but this obviously true. Then again, that's why they choose a nebulous descriptor like 'greatest'. If they said 'important' or 'influential' it'd be harder to justify.
Also, still waiting for someone to justify this:
Took a standard Besthesda open world, stripped out 90% of the story, dialogue and character development options, limited exploration to overworld and shrines (no underwater, caves, sewer systems, towns, ruins, dungeons) and plugged in a bunch of traditional Zelda sandbox mechanics. I think it's a great game, but I'm still trying to figure out how it was revolutionary.

So if you are applying for a job in the industry, forget most of the obscure or unhip games you actually like and just rattle off names from this list to make yourself look like a "good fit" for their boring culture.
Also, Portal 2 is a bad puzzle game, there are like hundreds which are obviously better choices, showing that these people don't care about gameplay at all. Only presentation and story.

All I can remember is an empty open world and that I got bored super quickly.
That game wouldn't even have made it into my top 100 list at all

GTA V not being in top 10 is a crime. That game was built on PS3/360 hardware, and it still one of the most played/sold games today

Yet all its sequels are better. No reason at all to come back to it, even with the key role it played in establishing the pillars of modern open world design.

No Rocket League anywhere. Metroid Prime at 75? Bad list.
