Who?

 

[MagiusNecros]

ctrl-f Golden Sun not detected

The entire list is rejected

 

[STARSBarry]

I agree with this list if only because The Last of Us: Part 2 lands below WWE Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain, and everything else listed which I can totally agree on.

 

[Mr Moose]

2. Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)

Opinions can be wrong.

 

[Ge Os]

No Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

Yeah, this is not it.

 

[Shifty1897]

66. Nier: Automata (2017)
50. Chrono Trigger (1995)

39. Overwatch (2016)

Spoiler

The list is mostly fine. Wtf is Assassin's Creed Odyssey doing on there though lol

 

[SpiceRacz]

37. Mario 64 (1996)

 

[sachos]

Diablo 4 over Diablo 2, oh no you did not

 

[Rockman33]

Always going to be discrepancies in a top 100 list of all time. But overall pretty solid list.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Imagine having to put D4 on a top 100 list because D2, hell EVEN D3, were too old for your followers to have played.

Then to have to defend that list to people older than 25, jesus what a bleak prospect.

Not even Super Mario Bros. 3…

 

[TexMex]

Knew the list was junk looking at 100.

 

[MagnesD3]

I may not agree with most but you put Elden Ring on top and that is a bless'ed take.

 

[Come On Tars]

OOT is number one, always has, always will be.

 

[E-Cat]

And Mario 64 at 37?

I bet these guys weren't even alive when it came out.

 

[Come On Tars]

I bet these guys weren't even alive when it came out.

Some would say we’re biased. I’d say we have the correct fucking opinion. You had to be there. Everyone who was young when Mario 64 and OOT came out understands we have been chasing that high for decades. Only to get pieces of it here and there. I have played the greats of the modern generation and loved them, still not even close. You’ll get crumbs of it here and there, Witcher 3, VR half life, they come close but the novelty and newness only goes so far, OOT and Mario 64 are just better

They are ignorant of the truth, we are akin to WW2 vets, the greatest generation. Our knowledge is deep like Gandalf. I don’t blame them, they can’t possibly understand.

 

[ZehDon]

Reads like a list taken from MC ratings for safety rather than actual preferences discussed and ranked. Surely, OG DOOM always makes the cut - even if just to acknowledge the sheer impact it's had.

 

[kurisu_1974]

Too much indie games and WWE Smackdown wtf?

 

[CashPrizes]

Castlevania SOTN + Chrono Trigger being that low is criminal.

Definitely a recency bias. To fix list, Yeet these 11 newer games off:
Borderlands 2
Doom Eternal (Doom 2016 is better, put higher on list)
Fortnite
Sims 3
Animal Crossing 2020 (like the worst Animal Crossing?)
Sea of Thieves
Celeste
Firewatch
Kingdom Hearts 2 (objectively bad story and series)
Apex Legends
Mortal Kombat 11

Replace with these 11 Stone Cold classics:
Final Fantasy VI
Super Metroid
Starcraft
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Baldur's Gate 2
Streets of Rage 2
Diablo II
Mega Man 2
Metal Gear Solid
Contra
Tie-Fighter CD

 

[The Cockatrice]

They havent played half those game and just generated a mix of generic titles that every publication does. Stop giving these numbskulls the attention.

 

[Regginator]

Do people actually like playing RDR2? I get the appeal for its detailed world, memorable characters, and a half-decent story, but actually playing it? I dislike calling games overrated or whatever, but if there's one "game" that would fit that description, it's RDR2. Absolutely garbage-tier gameplay loop and mission progression.

Forced myself to go through all of it (minus the compendium because ain't nobody got time for that), and it's definitely one of those one-and-done experiences that I suppose was okay (aside from aforementioned gameplay loop), but something I'd never revisit again.

 

[Putonahappyface]

No GTA 4?

 

[Davevil]

who is he? and why should his top 100 matter?

I personally found RDR2 highly immersive and would happily pay for a next gen update and new game plus.

Highly immersive, I agree, but did you genuinely enjoy actually playing it? Basically anything that requires you to press buttons?

 

[peek]

EXTREME recency bias detected. Boring af list.

 

[GymWolf]

After reading the list again i'm gonna change my previous gif with this one

 

[Hudo]

This ranking is not even in the top 10 of "best games of all time"-rankings.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Yes!

 

[FewRope]

Borderlands 2 ahead of Doom 2016, Paper Mario TTYD, Prime, Symphony of the Night, San Andreas and Yakuza 0…

Go fuck yourself

Perfect response

 

[Regginator]

Yes!

Awesome, man. If you're into Westerns, I definitely recommend watching Deadwood or the Dollars trilogy. They have about the same amount of fun gameplay as RDR2

 

[drganon]

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

9 out of 10 games of that top 10 came out after 2010? Damn...okay then

 

[Putonahappyface]

I recently played the PS4 remaster of RDR1 and Undead Nightmare on the PS5 for the first time and loved that as well.

 

[Revolutionary]

Having TLOU in the top 5 while the sequel is nowhere to be seen is, as the kids say, based.

 

[Ceadeus]

Spec Ops the Line is 20 spot above Earthbound

 

[Chuck Berry]

…you put Elden Ring on top and that is some hipster shit

Fixed

 

[Hudo]

 

[Arsic]

Portal 2 has to be the most overrated game that shows up on top 100 lists. That and persona 5 on this one.

This list was made by a retard.

 

[Doom85]

Going from recency bias to nostalgia bias.

Wait they put firewatch on there. I liked firewatch but not in a top 100 list. All those games except tie fighter I would agree with (haven't played tie fighter)

 

[TintoConCasera]

Can't say I agree with some of those picks but still, this one's miles better than the one in the OP.

 

[Hudo]

Agreed.

 

[Aion002]

The lack of Starcraft, Total Annihilation, Final Fantasy Tactics, Ninja Gaiden Black and Suikoden...

 

[Rran]

The lack of games from the 80s and 90s is embarrassing.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I never even played the game, but going by reviews and watching video clips and bad ass boss fights, God of War 3 has got to crack top 100 in every game site's list.

 

[deeptech]

Save yourselves from disappointment and being upset by realizing that nobody can give you an objective description of quality of art. It's all up to you, have your own top 100, compare but don't take it seriously.

 

[ns6]

Overwatch being on this list at all, let alone No. 39, is perhaps the funniest thing.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Ok, If you pick any game in this list you have to have a good time even in 2024. That's what a top game of all time means in 2024.

I am not sure people would like playing the original Starcraft or even Warcraft 3 today. Even though no surprise I love those games and how culturally impactful they were.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Amazing I'd see HOMM3 and Contra 3 on a top games list. I approve this list!

 

[Thanati]

Got to admit, that's a pretty stupid list. Also, "of all time"? Most of the games are from the past 20 years.
