[Talax]

I still didn't mind the list that much and was willing to give them a chance, but xenoblade at 80? So it's lists like these that make them "a media outlet that covers the vg industry" and not gaf....

 

[Zoned]

#69 Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Forgettable game

Seems like you don't play Battlefield games.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

#95 Vanquish - Terrible game
#75 Heavy Rain - Great game - GOTY 2010

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

So...what do you think will be #1?

My three guesses:

GTAV
Last of Us
...some indie game with overrated scores!

I said GTA V, Last of Us or Skyrim, but I'll throw Portal in there too. It's extremely popular on these kinds of lists.

 

[polyh3dron]

Rainbow Six: Vegas?

What in the actual fuck?

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

#95 Vanquish

#89 Splinter Cell: Blacklist
#82 Halo 3
#81 Spec Ops: The Line
#66 God of War III

 

[Kallor]

If I had to guess, I would say their top ten will look something like this. Am I forgetting an obvious one?

10) Bioshock
9) Portal 2
8) Mass Effect 2
7)

Spoiler

Fallout: New Vegas

Fallout 3
6)

Spoiler

Halo: Reach

Skyrim
5) Uncharted

Spoiler

3: Drakes Deception

2
4) Red Dead Redemption
3) Super Mario Galaxy
2) The Last of Us
1) Grand Theft Auto V

FTFY

Fallout new vegas wont be anywhere near the top ten. Fair list otherwise.

Spoiler

GOTG though.

 

[Mushroomer25]

DJ Hero literally needs to be, like 90 places further ahead. Unless DJ Hero 2 is yet to be listed.

But honetly, I'm gambling on CoD4, ME 2, TLOU, Galaxy, and GTA

Spoiler

IV

to round out the top 5. Orde ris irrelevant.

 

[SirNinja]

EDIT: nevermind

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Im curious as to where/if these games will place...

Mass Effect 2 - My favorite game of last gen.

Modern Warfare 2 - My favorite CoD multiplayer ever. People tend to love or hate it.

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate - A game I like a lot, though I can see why people may prefer SF4 for their fighting.

 

[Basketball]

Spoiler

Blacklist is better than Vanquish

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Demons Souls 68.......

 

[Sylverstone14]

#95 Vanquish - Terrible game
#75 Heavy Rain - Great game - GOTY 2010

 

[StuBurns]

Demon's Souls and Flower have been low balled something rotten.

 

[Macapala]

How does Heavy Rain even make a list like this? It barely qualifies as a game, not to mention the story is terrible.

 

[uncleniccius]

A decent list so far.. but Dishonored may, and probably would have broken into my top ten.

For people who like stealth games it is INCREDIBLE. It let's you do what you want, there's loads of variety and it is great fun...

I would also have liked NNK/Rayman/The Unfinished Swan higher up as they were all really good, but Dishonored sticks out for being ranked harshly

 

[AntiFacebook]

How does Heavy Rain even make a list like this? It barely qualifies as a game, not to mention the story is terrible.

Maybe because most people don't think the story is terrible?

 

[leroidys]

This thread is disturbingly similar to the Grammy Awards reaction thread.

 

[Marvel]

Nice to see Spec Ops on there.

Yeah, first game I looked for.

 

[Nemmy]

#95 Vanquish - Terrible game

See, it's cases like this when the whole "there are no wrong opinions" argument falls apart.

It's one thing to dislike a game when it's not up your alley (as likely is the case with you and Vanquish, judging by the rest of your post), and it's totally fine that if you're more interested in story and emotions you're going to enjoy Heavy Rain much more.
It's another to call a game "terrible" where it objectively is not, judging by its mechanics, enemy and encounter design, and from the technical standpoint. Vanquish is not perfect, but it's also not a terrible game by any sane standard.

Unless you're trolling, and I fell for it like a toddler.

 

[Radec]

As long as Portal 2, Uncharted 2 and TLOU are in the top 10, i'm good with this.

[Tildom]

Xenoblade, the best JRPG in the last decade (at least), the number 80...

 

[Jarmel]

People are going to be so salty when they realize that Mass Effect 3 is going to rank higher than Xenoblade.

 

[Zakalwe]

Vanquish is better than whatever Naughty Dog game their number 1 will be.

Vanquish is a remarkable shooter, but it's an arcade game to, say, TLoU's world building, adventure, characterisation, writing, etc...

 

[uncleniccius]

Well I guess that settles the debate on dark versus demons eh? Eh, eh?

Pretty much.
I actually find the IGN PS3 top 25 lists really funny, I'm pretty sure neither are on them because the people who decide (Colin and Greg) don't like them. That isn't to say they're wrong, but it is weird to me that they're not on there due to most people finding them to be great.

 

[Neifirst]

Ni No Kuni over Xenoblade Chronicles? Someone's an idiot.

 

[kahboomkin]

Demon's Souls at #68?
Terrible list confirmed.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Demon's Souls at #68?
Terrible list confirmed.

Indeed.

I'm happy Catherine is there though.

 

[Servbot24]

Demon's Souls at #68?
Terrible list confirmed.

Yep. Should be #1. And Xenoblade at 80... no idea how they come up with this.

 

[Diprosalic]

.

I like you.

 

[Ricky 7]

Xenoblade, Demon Souls, Brawl and Halo 3 are top 30 material at the very least. Whoever made this list needs a slap.

 

[Lernaean]

Lol for Vanquish @ 95.
Never change IGN.

 

[Hyperactivity]

#80 Xenoblade Chronicles...
Fuck this shit, XC should be top 10/20

 

[BibiMaghoo]

#69 Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Forgettable game

I just...what?

You shouldn't be allowed to post such slander about the best multiplayer game of last gen. Meet me in the yard at dinner time, we settle this like er, school kids lol.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

"Ni No Kuni is one of the best JRPGs to grace Sony consoles in years, a collaboration between genre masters Level-5 and animation gurus Studio Ghibli. Though the genre has fallen on hard times of late, Ni No Kuni was an example of JRPGs done right, bringing together gorgeous graphics and a touching story, with Pokemon-esque combat and truly deep gameplay. A truly unique offering that revitalised a niche many thought finished, Ni No Kuni is the game every RPG fan owes it to themselves to play."

I love this ni no kuni quote, it's full of things I disagree with completely, but which are subjective, but nonetheless remind me that IGN remains a source that there is no point in me taking seriously since the gulf of my difference of opinion with them is in fact more of an abyss.

not to mention

#80 Xenoblade Chronicles
#77 Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

 

[dragonbane]

I completely agree with him, but I wouldn't say that Vanquish is terrible. Rather mediocre, but not awful.

 

[Magicgamer101]

I don't know, part of me is really happy that ni no kuni got shown some love at all and another part of me isn't because it's so high (or low depending how you look at it) up the list, personally it's in my top 10 and was the best jrpg last gen, God I loved that game!

And Bad company 2 was the best multiplayer shooter last gen, so many good memories. Should at least be in the top 20.

 

[TomShoe]

The Last of Us or Journey at #1. I'm baffled by people rating GTAV at #1. How can it win Game of the Generation if it couldn't even win GOTY?

 

[Asbear]

See, it's cases like this when the whole "there are no wrong opinions" argument falls apart.

It's one thing to dislike a game when it's not up your alley (as likely is the case with you and Vanquish, judging by the rest of your post), and it's totally fine that if you're mrightserested in story and emotions you're going to enjoy Heavy Rain much more.

I'm sorry but I find this post so ironic. He can't call it "terrible" even if that is his opinion? It's rather a perfect example of "there are no wrong opinions" IMO. It would be another thing if he was analysing the game for a review objectively or something and then ignoring everything it dows right. You can objectively call a game "great" but still think it is shit personallym there is nothing wrong in that.

 

[Ghost23]

Listening to their podcasts, a lot of the editors are not fans of the Dark Souls games. They're wrong, but that's probably why the games won't get praise on this list.

 

[crazy monkey]

xenoblade was the BEST rpg last gen. certainly top 10 game of the gen.

 

[flatearthpandas]

Well, none of my favorite console games from last gen beat top 60. My hands down favorite is at 80.

Guess I'm done here.

 

[EmpReb]

Ok Not seeing what Bad Company 2 did for Multiplayer shooters DOES make you casual. Its a defacto requirement now in BF titles and should be for all games that explosions should blow up walls and stuff around them. Not do nothing. Seriously its why SW fans and BF fans are frothing at the mouth for Battlefront. We know how well DICE can make stuff go boom. We want to see how its looks when you throw in baster blots and Thermodenators.
