Everything is fine, as long as Xenogears is listed.

They seem to have a pretty broad description of what an RPG is.
Whichever one has the most Bethesda games high up I would think. Or dares to put the darlings Chrono Trigger and FFIX lowest down

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.

Nice. But all its going to do is make me want to play games I no longer have, be it systems I don't have anymore or the game itself.

These top 100 lists will make a nice point of comparison for kswiston's Essential RPG thread this fall.

I just hate how it and the Demon's Souls cover are awkwardly smooshed between Geralt and muh boi Garrus.

That's not Cloud and that's sure as shit not Cloud's hair.
Is that a Sora amiibo next to Aloy? Why isn't that real?

Considering I had to live through the world calling Mass Effect 1 an RPG and Mass Effect 2 less of an RPG, BotW is absolutely an RPG. Especially considering I feel like I almost have more freedom to do what I want in it compared to your average D&D campaign.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Bottom left of that cover makes me a very happy man
Super Mario RPG is still one of the greatest games ever made

Lets fucking go Pokemon Yellow, FF7, Suikoden 2, Breath of Fire 4, Tales of Symphonia and Chrono Trigger!
Lol IGN putting Chrono Cross at 85 in their list. Here comes the FLAME!

Omg, that classic bullshit gaming mag art. It brings me back to the glorious PSM days of my youth.
Both equally. The question is if it's possible to create a top 100 "insert genre here" list GAF won't hate?

Gameinformer and IGN making a Top 100 RPG list.
Hmmm.
Guess E3 will be full of RPGs.

I can only imagine the breed of people that would see that cover at a distance and be like, "I need to buy that fucking mag."

The combat is really basic & lacks depth. The writing isn't anything special either.

that's probably the most ugly cover i've seen in a long, long time. The artwork is a mess.
I feel like i've traveled back to the 90's and stumbled across the worst fan art possible.

I really can't get over how bad the art is, hahaha. Man, I can't stop looking at it.
The fact that they gave every. single. character. those bullshit angry eyes even if it totally doesn't fit their personality. Like it's the only thing they can draw.
Wow, it's bad. But glorious in its badness. I now know what the people in the Kingdom Hearts story thread this morning were on about.

They're both great, even by today's standards. In 1995, they were transcendent.

So this is going to be one of those RPG lists where everything is an RPG.
This doesn't seem like a coincidence to me, I bet IGN stole this idea since it's magazine it's been in the works for at least a month, I'm sure IGN caught wind and just went with their own.
