Only 15 games were rated that high throughout the entire generation. Here's all of them, in alphabetical order:

Batman: Arkham City
Bioshock
Grand Theft Auto 4
Grand Theft Auto 5
The Last of Us
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
LittleBigPlanet
Mass Effect 2
The Orange Box
Portal 2
Red Dead Redemption
Skyrim
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Uncharted 2

Which one did you like the least?

I'd have to go with LittleBigPlanet here (runner-up being Twilight Princess.) I really wanted to like that game, but I just didn't like how it controlled, felt too sluggish and floaty, and the user-made levels were the sorts of things that were cool to sift through for maybe an hour until the novelty wore off. It was nice that they made all these overtures to the community, and made them an integral part of the game, but the levels were just never that interesting; they'd have gimmicks that were kind of interesting, the first time, sort of, but they were always wrapped in the same core gameplay I didn't like. Just a dull game, at least for me. Didn't even play the sequel.

It did have a great soundtrack though.

How about you, GAF?

 

[neuroned]

GTA4

 

[TUSR]

Grand Theft Auto 4

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I haven't played all of them.

 

[Toki767]

GTA IV. It just seems like the one that stands out the most as not belonging as much as the others to me.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I thought they were all good games. They deserve their high praise.

 

[GalacticaN7]

Whoops........least favorite.

Probably, GTAIV.

 

[AnAngryPillock]

Hands down GTA V.

 

[Magwik]

Bioshock
Grand Theft Auto 5
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Mass Effect 2
Skyrim
Uncharted 2

Which one did you like the least?

These ones.

 

[Strider]

GTA4 hands down.

 

[Wickerbasket]

Probably LittleBigPlanet. I just can't get used to how floaty the platforming is.

 

[katkombat]

People don't like mass effect 2?!

 

[RustyNails]

GTA4

 

[bigkrev]

How the fuck is Arkham City that high and Arkham Origin is not?!?

My answer is Skyrim, but I hated the previous Elder Scroll games (they just aren't my thing), and this did nothing to change that

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Of those I played, the Orange Box.

Couldn't get into anything other than portal, which lasted not long at all. A bad purchase.

 

[SoraanTribal]

Definitely Skyrim. I'm not a big fan of the Elder Scrolls series in general, so it's not surprising.

 

[JehutyRunner]

Red Dead Redemption. Easiest answer I've ever had to give.

Also, Grand Theft Auto IV deserved the score it got. Come at me, yo.

 

[Contra11]

Grand Theft Auto 4

LittleBigPlanet

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

That's an incredibly specific question.

Portal 2 or Skyrim.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Super hands Mario down Galaxy

BiohandsHockDown

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I liked Arkham City, but I feel Asylum was a much more dense, focused, and overall better game, and much more deserving of high review scores.

 

[Gouty]

Red Dead. It's the only game on that list I didn't complete.

I just hated the controls and the feeling of just being a gopher instead of meaningful events taking place.

 

[Puru]

Bioshock, i honestly HATED it /rawr.

 

[Atlas157]

Grand Theft Auto IV.

 

[Piano]

I've played all but two of them.
Several were disappointing. but GTA IV takes the cake. Ugh.

 

[Oersted]

Portal 2. The whole series is too easy.

 

[reptilescorpio]

GTA4 easily. Especially the PS3 version at launch >_<

 

[Nakazato]

The Gtas

 

[FullMetalx117]

GTA IV was definitely was one of the best games at the time in terms of story, online, open world, etc. Definitely deserved the score it got...

And from what I remember, everyone on this site LOVED it when it came out.

 

[Adry9]

GTA IV, no doubt.

 

[Amon37]

Out of all the ones I played LBP for sure.

 

[Axispowers]

Grand Theft Auto 4 for sure

 

[Ghost23]

Grand Theft Auto 4

 

[ito007]

of all the ones i played, it would be little big planet. level editing was a ton of fun, but i have to knock the imprecise platforming. you had to design a whole level around that imprecision too, which made it all the more annoying

 

[mullet2000]

I think I'd also go with LittleBigPlanet. I'm pretty surprised that game rated THAT highly. 95? I mean it was doing some cool things - the level creator was awesome - but the core platforming itself is too loose and

Spoiler

floaty

if you ask me. That's a pretty big part of a platormer.

I also think LBP2/LBP Vita were better games than the first one was.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

GTA IV and RDR.

 

[twentytwo22]

Of the five that I played to completion, Twilight Princess.

 

[culafia]

Some of my favorite games are in that list (I'll be the first to say GTA IV deserves its reign as a metacritic king)

No games I have a problem with per say.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
LittleBigPlanet

Those two seem about 15 points too high by my very personal standards. 80ish or so..

 

[Veitsev]

GTAIV. Its not close. A game that flawed getting that high reviews is a testament to just how fucked up games journalism is.

 

[Jolkien]

It has to be Skyrim in this list. First Elder Scroll game I played, bought into the hype. I grew bored moving from place to place only to stumble upon lair filled with the same type of monster over and over again. The main storyline was ok but it was nothing spectacular for me. I found the gameplay was average at best the bow and the sneak attack is way too overpowered I couldn't believe I one shotted a dragon this way.

I get why so many people still play this with the huge mod community, in the end the game wasn't for me and I should've researched it more instead of blindly picking it up.

 

[breakfuss]

GTA4. Without question.

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

Either GTA IV or Twilight Princess. Was really let down by both.

 

[JaseMath]

GTA IV by a country mile.

 

[Bold One]

GTA4 - the thread

 

[WhiskeyKnight]

Every single one of the games is pretty amazing.

 

[Maligna]

Little Big Planet or Twlight Princess.

 

[Darkroronoa]

Easy, Mass Effect 2.

 

[RE_Player]

Grand Theft Auto IV

 

[Steverulez]

Its a toss up between GTAIV and LBP... i'd say GTAIV because I actually pretty much hated it, whereas I didnt think LBP was bad, just not a 95+ rated game

 

[ChrisInCali]

Grand Theft Auto 4, Twilight Princess, and Little Big Planet. Skyrim was very disappointing on so many levels, but I still had an okay time playing it.
