Why would you put the inferior game on the list? Next mario needs a better* fucking overworld. Badly.Mario galaxy....where?
And Ocarina of Time at 11? Seriously? I have never, ever seen it outside the top 4 in any 'best games ever' list. Ever.

Yeah sorry old games can't compete with new games. Nobody finds asteroids more enjoyable than like.. half life or halo or something
Including old games and trying to argue that "they were good for their time" is stupid. While they may have been, it doesn't make them any better now.
The best video games are always going to be the most recent (within reason), anybody who disagrees needs to take off those pink shades.
tealdeer: Including games from the eighties or early nineties is stupid.
We're talking about games, not pictures. Some people prefer their games to have good gameplay instead of OMG PRETTY! IT LOOKS SO REAL! I have some tin foil you can play with if you want to look at something flashy, I'd rather use a stick and play in the dirt. Nobody in their right mind could believe that graphics matter when we're discussing how good a game is. I'd argue that having limited graphics would actually improve gameplay because they don't have to worry about people like you who value looks over substance.Seriously, anybody who thinks this:
pacman
is better than this:
prototype
is fucking delusional. Never played prototype either, trying to use games I'm not personally attached to.
Play Deus Ex.Bioshock was a lot of fun, and in terms of relevance, it definitely deserves to be that high due to its storytelling and environment being far beyond what video games have then and since accomplished. Had it been a movie concept instead, critics would be raving about it being the best thing since Citizen Kane.
yeah just ignore that whole argument, mr.virtualkaraokecircus was born in the same year as me and i don't feel like i have any right to judge games that people were playing when i was a fetusWe're talking about games, not pictures.

Prototype was a ridiculously boring game after the first 30 minutes, yet PacMan is still sought to this day. In 20 years, you will still see people playing PacMan but you will not see a single person giving a shit about Prototype. So who is delusional? PacMan is 100 times the game Prototype will ever be even if you don't account for things like hardware limitations, lasting effects on arcade gaming, or its competition at the time
i was about to say the exact same thing hahaBioshock at 3 is a surprise, I really like Bioshock, but to say it's the 3rd best game ever I dunno, Bioshock 2 to me had a bigger emotional impact over it, but Bioshock 1 thematically was better I guess.
Maybe it's because Black/White were horrible by Pokemon standards ? I know they were. If there should be any Pokemon games in the list it should be HG/SS.Link to the past is 2nd? It's actually a fun game but I would not say it should be placed at second. This whole list is an interesting mash up. I am surprised actually Pokemon Black or White didn't show up. Neither did platinum.I have no idea why Tetris is even below 50 much less in the top five. If anything I would barely let it be on here.
Maybe not with zero bias, but I still contend that you could make one that causes much less outrage by actually considering what gamers think, as I've said earlier in this thread.Maybe it's because Black/White were horrible by Pokemon standards ? I know they were. If there should be any Pokemon games in the list it should be HG/SS.
Also, it's impossible to make a list like that with no bias, example: madden 2005 and NBA.. really?
What planet are you on where every gaming journalist ever doesn't ejaculate all over shadow of the colossus every time they get the opportunity to? Not that it doesn't totally deserve it or anything, but every time I've seen any sort of "we think these games are good" lists SotC is always on it, or at least an honorable mention. It's like okami and portal, the games that journalists mention to be give the impression that they're legitimate and care about games as art etc.Wow, I was NOT expecting to see Shadow of the Colossus even on this list, let alone in the top 10. That's one of my favorite games of all time, it's amazing to see it get real recogniton.
Yeah sorry post was vague, wasn't talking about graphics. Merely that the depth and complexity of a game from the past 20 years is going to be sooo much more than any really old games. You can take anything I said for SotC if you like. Sorry for using such a (supposedly) terrible game for my example, people seem to be sort of caught up with it. It was literally the first thing that popped into my head, as I said I don't think I've ever played it.We're talking about games, not pictures.
