Exactly why I stated most cases. You know and that’s awesomeI'm 25 and would have voted for games like MGS, Super Metroid, OoT, SotC...But of course casuals tend to be younger and to vote for more recent mainstream stuff

Fixed that for youBrackets should have been divided by genre. Fortnite would have won the whole thing if everyone at IGN was 12 years old.
Fixed that for you
Isn't it pointless for a younger audience to vote for the best game of all time when games exist since the 70's and they probably never played anything before the PS2? I doubt any of these voters ever played half of these games. So how can they tell what's better?the new generation of players has spoken
We're all old and out of touch now. The new generations couldn't care less about the games we enjoyed during our younger days.
They look at those games and probably feel bad for us, that we were stuck with those games
People voting for these polls are mostly Xbox one and PS4 audience, that's why you seeing ROTR beating Half Life 2 in above results coz these kids havnt experienced most of the classics games that everyone on gaf grew up playing.Something tells me these two choices won't go down too well here.
It's from 1995
It's an automatic loss
I can't even tell if this is a massive troll or supreme dipshit material.
Older things automatically worse then?Good lord man. Your nostalgia bubble is the dirtiest i've seen yet. Lucky for you i'm a certified bubble popper
Hit me up when you want to move on with the times
If that's the case then how are they eligible to judge these games and vote for/against them?The new generations couldn't care less about the games we enjoyed during our younger days.

Better graphics = better games, automatically?
You are not better than the "nostalgia glasses" people, you seem to have even worse biases.
Thanks, not interested. I prefer to judge stuff based on their quality, not their age.It's not a bias
It's simply accepting the reality that old janky ass games are old janky ass games, and having the strength to move on
I'll help pop your bubble too. Just hit me up bro

You are missing a lot of great classics friend. If you want me to show you some stuff just hit me up.
I played a lot of classics in recent years that i've never played before - so no nostalgia glasses - and i honestly think some of them are better than stuff released nowadays.Oh don't worry i've played plenty of classics when they were still relevent
They're now in the bin along with those nostalgia glasses

Haha, no thanks.
Depends on the game/genre. Some genres like 3D platforming and RTS have not really gone anywhere over the last 10 years.Other way round my man
They're not relevent because the quality is shite now
Yeah, thousands of games have to be shit now just because they are old. No other metric or anything lets just put all the games in a bag and call them shit.Other way round my man
They're not relevent because the quality is shite now
I know you're baiting but you're wrong. Diablo 2R is just one example, the game is over 20 years old and it's still great and will always be great. Good game design doesn't age.Other way round my man
They're not relevent because the quality is shite now
Its okay, I know you have to cope for not being able to play LocoCycle.
Oh jesus
Sounds like an infection then. Can't help you there i'm afraid

It's even more evident when you look at real life games. Nobody would say that chess is a shit game because it's 1300 years old.
What's bad about Fortnite?Yeah just trying to offer some equilibrium since this thread is filled with old losers whining about those blasted kids
Of course I don't think trash like Fortnite is better than Mass Effect etc etc

That's called bias in case you didn't know. A bad case too.
But whatever, you do you. Others have a much larger selection of games or other media to enjoy since they don't automatically brush off stuff based on when they got released.

Depends on the game/genre. Some genres like 3D platforming and RTS have not really gone anywhere over the last 10 years.
We’ve had Psychonauts 2 and Ratchet this year but they are derivative games (game play wise, they are still similar to PS1/N64 platformers). Something like Jak and Daxter the Precurser Legacy still plays as good as either of them, and the writing is still good today.
Age of Empires 4 will likely be shit mechanically compared to older RTS games like Stronghold & Strongold Crusaders, AoE 1&2 etc.
That’s not though a lens of nostalgia, they are just better than the games in their genre being released in 2021.
In terms of this thread though, surely no one can argue that something like Apex Legends will even be remembered in 20 years time, never mind as one of the top 100 games of all time.
There is no jank to many old games. Super Mario Bros 3 for example is perfection and better than 90 percent of games that have come out since. You can't change my mind. Super Metriod. Chrono Trigger. Sonic 2. The list goes on. All the pretty graphics you can have today won't touch flawless gameplay. Journey is the most recent game I can think of that was essentially perfect and that had nothing to do with its graphics.It's not a bias

You sure it wasn't because your head was up your ass?My doctor had to ban me from playing those games because all that jank nearly killed me

Nah. Us seasoned gamer's have played hundreds if not thousands of games to draw our conclusions from. New gamer's simply don't have the breadth of experience to understand the craft in the way that veterans do. There are many, many games I have played that are better than GOW. I don't just mean that from a "cultural impact at the time" or nostalgic pov either. I'm talking about straight up better games which are only behind in the graphics and cinematic production values that come with gaming in current times.We're all old and out of touch now. The new generations couldn't care less about the games we enjoyed during our younger days. They look at those games and probably feel bad for us, that we were stuck with those games but we look at them with fond memories of nostalgia.
Rather than simply revolutionizing a genre, some still do certain things better than modern games.Only point was to go on the opposite end of the spectrum because that's exactly how some of these lot sound with the obsession of old games. Just because they revolutioned the genre or something during their time doesn't mean they hold up to todays standards and it's completely fair for them to get beat because of that.

It isn't even the best God of war gameGod of war isn't even the best game on the ps4
Don't be surprised if they announce GTAV winning today- even though every other site had GOW winning nearly 2:1 - the votes on the IGN website seems to have been hacked. The first day on there the votes were in line with the other sites with GOW leading GTAV 2:1, but then suddenly it jumped to a nearly 8:1 favor for GTAV in less then a couple of hours. They didn't turn off the voting though after the deadline and it went back to GOW's favor - so who knows? Depends on the timing and how many of those fake votes they are going to count. Either way the credibility of IGN shines yet again.
I love both games, so no matter who wins in the end, it will be a nice winner.Don't be surprised if they announce GTAV winning today- even though every other site had GOW winning nearly 2:1 - the votes on the IGN website seems to have been hacked.

I'm guessing you're way to old to be using Boomer memes.
