I also think it's interesting to see many new games in such a list without the benefits of nostalgia you see in other top 100s. -Honestly I can agree with the top 20 as a whole, there are some titles in it after that, which I wouldn't even consider good games though and would gladly switch them with the likes of Chrono Trigger, Nier Automata or others...
Also seeing Witcher 3 so far back in that list is a bit strange, I thought it was clearly one of the best games this generation and deserves a higher place in a top 100 of all time list.

These lists are always impossible and therefore meaningless. No Shenmue and no Sonic is ridiculous.
Sonic Adventure 2 surely deserves it more than a Far Cry 4 to be on that list, true. There are also a lot of PC titles missing too, the list seems a bit biased. Not having Deus Ex(the very first one) in it is quite a surprise, also Diablo 2 would deserve a spot there.
In general I'd rather see a top games of a decade/generation list without any numbering. Make it 30(or more) games each decade and don't bother with numbers.

I knew BotW was going to be #1 smh
Well Metroid Prime is the best game of all time so that for one
Smash Bros as you said
Now I wouldn't fault anyone for preferring F-Zero over WindWaker and RE4, but nevertheless I simply have more fun playing those two games.
F-Zero is the leading contender for 5th spot. I also really love Pikmin 2

I wouldn't say that about say...Chrono Trigger or Yakuza 2. So no? Love BOTW but no where near too game of all time for me at least. Too many classics missing from this list for my taste as well.

Ditto. Plenty of new games ranked really high.

There will never be common agreement on these lists, but Dark Souls 2?Skyrim instead of Morrowind? Also in the action game department, i would throw in Re4 and Vanquish.

So, Chrono Trigger is not in the list, Final Fantasy VI is not in the list, Planescape Torment is not on the list, Yakuza think it is not on the list, Limbo instead of Inside, The Phantom Pain instead of Metal Gear Solid 3.... I think that only agreed one time with any of those "List".

Is this a proper chart or just a list?
Because seeing games like SOTN placed under FTL kinda hurts

I think these lists exist solely to make people argue. I also think this is a really bad list. Lots of obvious stuff represented (it's funny that these lists almost always place tetris in the top 10 out of obligation or something, I love Tetris a LOT, but I just question it's continued place on these lists - I wonder how many game journos are still into it) tons of fashionable favourites that won't be remembered in 5 years, and lots of absolute classics forgotten.

See, stuff like this makes me immediately question the whole thing, because you have to wonder whether they even know the games they're supposedly rating. Almost everyone has a tendency to put what they think "should" be on lists like that rather than actually be honest about which games they like, which is why these lists are always shit and the same crap keeps popping up on them even if no one actually still thinks those games are good today. You can only get something interesting out of this exercise when you're honest.
