Appreciate the effort, but I saw Last of Us and then Life is Strange and that was a wrap for me. We dont see eye to eye.

This why I respect and enjoy this list.
Op seems extremely well versed across different genres,different platforms and different eras of games.
Its seems to be a very personal and unpredictable list.
Good stuff.

Trails in the Sky in at a respectable #43
Seriously though, this is a very diverse list in a field that usually hews to a very format or two-generation aligned swing. I like that. Haters stop yer yappin' and get to clappin'.

You got that moxie, OP.

I don't agree with all your placements but absolutely applaud the amount of effort you've put in. Bravo dude.

Only one of my top ten games with a one per franchise rule:
Yoshi's Island
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Zelda Skyward Sword
Sonic Generations
Pikmin 3
Super Monkey Ball
Fire Emblem Fates Conquest
F-Zero X
Banjo-Kazooie
Metroid Prime
made it into your top 100, thus this list is total shit.
Just kidding (not about my top ten though!), great work, I'll read through it. You must have put a fuckton of time and thought into this. I'll try to comment on those games that I also know from your list, but not now, because I need to go to bed (I had to correct three things in this short posting: knot, know and korrect... I must really be tired
)

I disagree with a huge proportion of the list, but I have to applaud the OP for the effort that went into this. Everyone has their own opinions, and these were incredibly well thought out and interesting to read.
Also made me want to seek out a few choice games I've never played before, so thank you!

I appreciate these personal, singular lists more than some compilation of the best critically/fan received titles of all time with OOT usually locked at number 1. These lists have their use if you want to add some (very well known) games to your backlog but once you've seen one you've seem them all (with some positions changing here and there), and they rarely add much to the discussion.
I don't personally relate to a lot of the OP's list, but I appreciate the effort he put into it. Specially considering how after the top 5 or 10 the line starts to kind of blur and a lot of positions become interchangeable. I have a similar list of mine and anything outside of the top 13 or so is mostly arbitrary and keeps changing positions depending on my mood.

Same, I really want to see Ghost Trick for example, never even heard of it.

Interesting list OP
Not my taste but you clearly play way more games than I do. I do think there are some odd picks for the best of particular franchises though - you seem to often favour the newer over the best at their particular time
No Team ICO though?

Great write-ups, very enjoyable to read. Will go back to this thread in the following days and read more carefully, I'm sure I'll discover some gems.
From the games I do know, I agree with about you about half of the time. But I do respect your opinion on each of them.
Great job!

Great effort OP. I wish I had experienced playing games similar to how you have. There is so much I've missed over the years because I found certain multiplayer experiences to be so compelling.

this has to be satirical, or it's the worst thing I've ever seen
"critics are often paid to give good scores" oh please fuck off
"I took some metacritic averages and compared them to each other as if it means anything while complaining that critics (in general?) have a child's understanding of narrative complexity"

Damn OP went all the way in!
Why are people saying 'I don't agree?', of course you don't this is his personal list and you're not him.

First of all respect to you for putting in this much effort into your list.
But god damn if Half Life 2 isn't the most overrated game of all time. I played it for the first time in 2012 and walked away thinking, "Meh that was pretty good." Only to see if win Game of the Decade awards and shit. I also played Ocarina of Time for the first time that year and could completely understand why people rank it so highly (even if I don't agree personally).
Ravenholm and the part where you get a suped up Gravity Gun are the only great parts of that game.
If someone wants to explain to me why everyone loves the game so much, feel free.

It's true, though. When Morrowind came out, the internet was full of people decrying it as the "selling out" of the Elder Scrolls series; that piles of people who played Morrowind didn't even know that "Morrowind" wasn't its full title, and that there were two previous "Elder Scrolls" games; etc. Basically, that Morrowind brought in a whole bunch of "casual" players who weren't even aware of the other Elder Scrolls games.
Sorry, but what a complete joke of a list. "I haven't properly played RE4 so whatever. Skullgirlz!!". Good one.
A list without SotC, ICO, RE4 or BB with things Dance Dance Revolution, "Blade Symphony" or Wii Sports is probably one of the biggest insults to gaming as a whole I've ever witnessed. Congrats on the feat I guess.
Commendable dedication though and good for you for enjoying driving through sewers from one forgettable arena to another with loading times interrupting every 5 minutes so much.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
So much work put into this. Good effort, OP! Really appreciated reading through this, and the unique lineup of games was refreshing.
Has anyone compiled just the list?
To be honest, I don't really agree with your Top Ten at all - except for Jet Grind Radio, which was a super nice surprise.
Did I miss Majora's Mask, Halo(s), and/or Final Fantasy IX?

As someone who has both games in his top ten of all time, even I balked at Life is Strange (eighth in my top ten) ahead of The Last of Us (favourite game ever).
But I can't fault the effort put in. Good job, OP.

Games that have been imitated to oblivion like the Half Life series will always age more noticeably than those that haven't. Even now Zelda games don't have many direct clones
HL2 was amazing at the time because of its incredible world, atmosphere and set pieces al of which were a massive leap forward in 2004. It was also incredibly innovative being one of the first games to use a full world physics system, and still stands as one of the best uses of integrating physics into gameplay
Of course the HL template is an easy one to copy and many aspects that made it far ahead of anything War at the time don't stand out anymore

Good job OP...disagree a lot, specially TLOU being overrated, I feel like gameplay focused players really can't appreciate the nuaisce and technical skills associated with good story telling and voice acting, but whatever. As a person who loves games like Life is strange and TLoU and still put in 500+ hours in Street Fighter, 100% twitch platformers and action games, I genuinely appreciate both.
I thought SMT IV was one of the worst games I've played in the last 10 years. Legitmately. Waste of my time and money, I'd give it one star out of five. Maybe two.
And Half Life 2? Boring and overrated, doesn't hold up today with its reliance on physics to 'wow' the player in lieu of any kind of decent level design. Crap silent protag, poor story and horrible cliffhanger endings don't add much to the mix.
Absolutely amazing how different opinions can be.
