Support NeoGAF

I really dont agree with any of these for myself but the poll has spoken.

My personal choices do not dictate those of everyone else.

Im not joking here but I thought we would see some of the games that helped launch PS1 more like battle arena toshinden and Tekken. Im not saying MGS and FF7 were not massive, just that I thought we would see them higher up. I guess im not looking at it the same way as others.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Proper list:

1. Final Fantasy Tactics
2. Symphony of the Night
3. Suikoden 2
4. Vagrant Story
5. Front Mission 3

Accept no substitutes.

I ALWAYS wanted to play Front Mission but never did for some reason. Why is 3 so good?

Yep it's amazing how popular that game was back then but nowadays is almost completely forgotten. Not that it was any good, especially compared to Tekken and Soul Blade.

Honestly, I'm surprised people still care so much about Crash. I mean, I liked the games too, but I never consider his games "greatest PS1 games of all time" material.

I'm pleasant surprised he still has that much support. Honestly expected Resident Evil 2 or Tomb Raider to be way ahead of him.

 

[Creaking]

But Crash Bandicoot 2 is the best Crash. :|



Anyway, can't say I agree with the list. I missed it at the time, but I played MGS all the way through three weeks ago, and actively dislike it. Played MGS2 the week after and thought it was really good. Heck, I played Metal Gear the week before and had a better time. MGS1 just makes too many bad design decisions--ones that aren't due to technology limitations or the standards of the time--for me to like it.

 

[Alo0oy]

It's okay to not like crash, but were people living in a cave during the last two decades? Go check out the top 5 selling PSN classics every month, that list is almost always FFVII, and then three Crash games, usually Crash 1 and Crash 3, with the third one being either Crash 2 or CTR. The fifth game in the top 5 is usually some PS1 game that was on sale.

Crash has always been popular, and it never stopped being popular if you look at the sales.

EDIT: I voted for MGS and Ape Escape, yes TPP influenced my vote.

 

[dhonk]

dat wrong boxart

 

[Doctor Decimate]

MGS 1 aged like shit so did Resident Evil 1/2 and Tom Raider 1 and basically every other early 3D game. But this isn't a list of games that play great in 2015 it's a list of the greatest PS1 games and Crash 1 is easily amongst those. All I'm saying is I don't get the argument that it's shitty cause it aged poorly. Back then it was one of the greatest titles available and that is all that matters.

Crash was so fucking amazing it even made it on the Simpsons.

Crash 1 didn't just age poorly; it aged into a bad game during the Playstation's lifespan, when the sequel came out one year later. Historical importance does not offset that to anywhere near a degree that justifies placing it not only above those sequels, but as the number 3 game on the whole system.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

"Insert your favourite game here" should have won. Haha so many people in this thread upset that others don't like what they like as much as they do.

Yup.

Crash Bandicoot > SotN. Face it, people.

 

[eFKac]

Voted for Crash 3

 

[Nicko]

No SotN

I'll agree with the first two though.

Same... Really sad to see it didn't make it.. What a gem.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

You would think that at #3 an 4 that Sony would start giving a shit about bringing Crash back to life. Who owns the Crash rights now, Sierra?

 

[radioactivez0r]

Maybe I should give this "Metal Gear Solid" franchise a try. I have all these discs lying around with that name on them.

 

[Reset]

Man, MGS doesn't deserve that #1 spot.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

the evil empire of videogame publishers known as Activision

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Crash 1 and Crash 3 but no Crash 2? lmao okay then

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I stamp on the head of nostalgia. TLOU is the Playstation game of all time.

 

[rhandino]

It's funny and sad at the same time..

Crash does.

[Timeaisis]

Hmm...I've never seen that version of the cover for FFIX. I think they might have messed up with the numbering. It says "VII" instead for some reason.

 

[Zornack]

The best game of all time wins best Playstation game. Sounds about right.

 

[fhqwhgads]

Activision. They did a few games which were just random games with Crash's name slapped onto it and then they've left the franchise to rot ever since.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I played Metal Gear Solid for the first time a few years ago. It's still great.

MGS is one of my favorite games of all time, I have no qualms with #1. It's all the others that I disagree with!

 

[Alo0oy]

Man, MGS doesn't deserve that #1 spot.

One of the most influential games of all time, especially in cinematics and storytelling, what makes it undeserving?

 

[Eblo]

Maybe someday.

The poll was only for games on the first PlayStation.

Yeah, well, we agree to disagree then.

I love TLOU,but it's not even the best PS3 game, that title belongs to Demon's Souls.

 

[jayu26]

Dude, the poll was just for PSX. You might know it as PlayStation One.

 

[Fandangox]

MGS being No.1 makes sense PlayStation fans do prefer their movies.

movies?

Ah, that's a shame that Activision has it. I remember the few random games that tried to cash in on Crash's name but didn't realize how many hands the IP has been in. Activision would probably give no shits about reviving Crash or selling its IP to someone who could do it justice.

 

[CorporateClown]

Well, I'm glad MGS was #1. Would have also liked to see Suikoden II and Xenogears on the list, but whatever. I had no idea Crash was so popular!

 

[Kei-]

It's undeserving because they think that the poll results should reflect their personal opinion.

 

[DrD]

I voted for SotN and Spyro 3. I was expecting Crash to win given its popularity but it looks like the votes were split between 1 and 3 which may have kept it from winning.

 

[Degen]

I didn't know that people liked Crash Bandicoot so much

It was a lot of fun but wow!

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Final Fantasy VII isn't number 1?

I do not approve this list....

 

[dragonzdogma]

I didn't know that people liked Crash Bandicoot so much

It was a lot of fun but wow!

Seriously
I guess no one played Mega man legends, Castlevania SOTN
perhaps it was Sony's Sonic,Mario mascot era and now nostalgia won?

 

[Spazznid]

Lmao when all but one franchise is dead.

 

[Radec]

Oh.. 3 of the top 4 are from dead IPs.

 

[IzzyF3]

I voted for FF7, but I'm all right with MGS winning. I never liked Crash though.

 

[Mechanized]

Crash games in the top 4? lmao

 

[Jay Sosa]

Are you guys seriously surprised that SOTN isn't on the list?

SOTN

Total Units

North America: 0.58m 45.8%
+ Europe: 0.40m 31.1%
+ Japan: 0.21m 16.5%
+ Rest of the World: 0.08m 6.5%
= Global 1.27m

Crash 1

Total Units

North America: 3.23m 47.4%
+ Europe: 2.35m 34.5%
+ Japan: 0.94m 13.8%
+ Rest of the World: 0.30m 4.4%
= Global 6.82m

 

[Weiss]

Which of you jerks voted for two separate Crash games?

MGS and FF7 kind of automatically deserve a spot, but no SotN? Lies. Lies and slander.

 

[Nameless]

Replace the crash games with FFIX and Chrono Cross. I'll also accept Vagrant Story or SOTN.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

For those who are in disbelief of Crash being on that list:

Remember that Crash used to be for Sony what Mario is for Nintendo and Sonic for Sega. Sony didn't start out with a "mascot" but Crash kind of filled that void for a long while. Even after so many years, despite the IP bring sold a handful of times and the lackluster games we've gotten since, it was a character that at one point represented what PlayStation stood for imo.

 

[hemo memo]

Which of you jerks voted for two separate Crash games?

I voted for MGS and Crash 1.

 

[Terranwolf]

Crash 2 should have been #3 while the other two games not in the top 5 on the system. Not sure why 1 or even Warped made it.

WipEout 1 was a great game in its own right. The theme of it, as well as the soundtrack, was way better than all but HD in my honest opinion. They didn't even put it onto the list! I had to write that one in.

Symphony of the Night not on the list either was a little surprising.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Everything in its right place.

Except Crash Bandicoot.

Which should be in a bin.

On fire.

Huh why? I remember crash bandicoot 2 being the game selling me the system as a kid. Crash 2 and crash team racing are goat

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Crash Bandicoot? That's pretty unexpected.

 

[Dad]

Who are these nerds voting for Crash 1

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Crash Bandicoot? That's pretty unexpected.

The mascot? Unexpected?
