literally who?

>.co.uk

No wonder their tastes are shit

>the witcher 3 not first
fake news

Different people ahve different tastes and shit like GTA and Half-Life is important to many people, but what the fuck is Tetris doing up there?

>18. Rez Infinite
What? REZ is cute and all, but it's barely even a game.

If OOT isnt no1 list is invalid

>UK aka Sonyland
>gives number one to Zelda
It's time to face the fact user, Nintendo won.

Agree, it should be number one.

Yeah, a mediocre, but popular puzzler should be number one. I agree.

>all these very recent games
>The Witcher 3 nowhere to be seen
Weird. Also weird for Portal to be there instead of Portal 2.

Only Mario 64, Minecraft, RE 4, OoT and Tetris deserve to be in such high ranks, and in fact, they must be HIGHER. And, as usual, where the hell are Ultima Underworld (best game ever made, obviously), Ultima 4 and VII, The Witcher 3, Meridian 59, Doom, Alone in the Dark, Pac Man, the original Zelda, Thief 1, motherfucking Dwarf Fortress, and MANY FAR more deserving games?

>Ultima Underworld
Good taste user
I'm probably more of a System Shock 1 guy, myself

>20. Ultra Street Fighter IV
good game
>19. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
F See me after class. There are better MGS games.
>18. Rez Infinite
literally who?
>17. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Shitty cover shootan that's the same it has been since the first game. I guess it's pretty?
>16. Super Mario World
smb3 is superior, still a good game
>15. Red Dead Redemption
it's alright.
>14. Super Mario 64
classic
>13. Portal
overrated but still a good game.
>12. Bayonetta 2
can't say, haven't played
>11. Minecraft
Clearly given this spot because how big Minecraft became. Wouldn't call it the #11 greatest game of all tiem but I can understand the justification for this spot.
>10. Resident Evil 4
Good game.
>9. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Good game
>8. Super Mario Galaxy 2
Overrated, decent game
>7. Tetris
US gamers amirite? Might as well add Pong while we're at it. And Space Invaders, don't forget that!
>6. Half-Life 2
Overrated, decent game. Half-life 1 is superior
>5. Bloodborne
Best souls game and the best console game of the last decade.
>4. The Last of Us
Better than Uncharted for sure. #4 greatest game ever made? No.
>3. Grand Theft Auto V
Fun game. Lack of heists and the missed potential with the multiplayer is disappointing but still a good game.
>2. Dark Souls
Swap places with Bloodborne
>1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
LOL

Liat is already invalid having OOT on the list at all.

Never put a game from the last few years in the top ten position. Give it time to age, see if it still holds up. If its the new OoT, it will. If its the new SM64, it will. If its the new Tetris, it will. Otherwise, you're dating yourself.

HAHAHA Neofaggots are incredibly butthurt about this list.

>but what the fuck is Tetris doing up there?
It's just a token, at least this list doesn't have fucking pong as #1

>UK aka Sonyland

Is this some Nintenbro meme? The 360 was far more popular than the PS3 here.

>US gamers amirite? Might as well add Pong while we're at it. And Space Invaders, don't forget that!
If Tetris doesn't deserve a spot in the top ten, nothing does.

At least they got the first one right. Half-Life 2 and GTAV and fucking MGSV doesn't belong on this list at all.

>97. Final Fantasy XII

What a shitty list. XII should be at top ten!

Look at the sales chart buddy

I'm disapointed they didn't put minesweeper on that list

reads like a ultimate pandering to fanbases list

>Fire Emblem Fates
Really? Out of all the FE games they chose that?

Jim Sterling SEETHING

Just cus games are old dosen't mean they are good????

>20. Ultra Street Fighter IV
Street fighter sucks. injustice 2 is better in every way
>19. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Best controlling, worse story. not sure how I feel on this
>18. Rez Infinite
Ah the hipster placement
>17. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
decent game but not top 100
>16. Super Mario World
should be 19
>15. Red Dead Redemption
shouldnt be on this list at all
>14. Super Mario 64
should be 20
>13. Portal
deserves its spot. Unique in a lot of ways when most shooters wanted to be cod or gears
>12. Bayonetta 2
not sure how this got above DMC3, but its not bad
>11. Minecraft
atleast its not top 5, which is all I can hope for
>10. Resident Evil 4
7 is better than 4
>9. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
worst zelda. Id rather see LA, Ages or AlttP here more
>8. Super Mario Galaxy 2
a literal full priced expansion pack
>7. Tetris
should be top 3
>6. Half-Life 2
should be 10
>5. Bloodborne
shouldnt be on this list
>4. The Last of Us
really shouldnt be on anyones list
>3. Grand Theft Auto V
better than RDR, but thats not hard
>2. Dark Souls
I like DS as much as the next guy, but not top 2
>1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
god no.

yes, look at that chart, they don't give a shit about your shitty stories in games

BRAAAPP

I've been playing videogames since 2010: the list

>Horizon no where to be seen
>BotW at literally #1

Sonybros eternally blown the fuck out.

...

worst post(er) in the thread

What are you're top games 1-5??

nostalgia fags BTFO

Nigger 2/3 of Fates is all around shit. Only Conquest was at least good.

"Greatest of all time" lists shouldn't be allowed to include anything from the last 5 years, as they haven't stood the test of time.

. Half-Life 2
>Overrated, decent game. Half-life 1 is superior

Decent evaluation except for this

depends on the category
There is no such thing as top 5 must play games. top 10 sellers, fps's, cinematic experiences, story, etc. Those I can do. Top 5 games? dont really think I could do it

>europe has this much shit taste in 2017
Baeyliss would be disappointed

>Anything from 2010 onwards being in the top 10 and it not being Minecraft.

This list is fucking shit. The writer must have jsut graduated.

>no Deus Ex
>uk
Understandable.

>no Kingdom Battle

Never gonna make it.

>tfw japan ranked a jugdral game super high in their list
Eurabia got shit taste

>they don't give a shit about your shitty stories in games
>Half Life 2 and TLoU there

>Edgeshills trying to use reverse psychology to get Sup Forums to praise their awful list

>no resident evil 2
>no silent hill game

goddammit Dark Souls 1 was previously #1.

These lists are always top-heavy with recent releases, which makes sense. They're fresher in memory. But this just kinda proves that any "greatest of all time" type list is going to be kinda silly. Breath of the Wild came out literally months ago; we have no idea if it's going to really hold up, unlike, say, Half-Life 2 or RE4, two games which most people can agree are deserving of any spots on lists like these. Hell, I thought Breath of the Wild was genuinely incredible, but I think we still need to ruminate on and discuss its design and artistry a bit before we start sucking its dick for all eternity.

I'd go further and say that actually "ranking" games like this is fucking stupid, but that's neither here nor there.

>meanwhile Phil Fish's abortion made it into the list

UK is the PC land you dumbo.

>Half-Life 2 or RE4, two games which most people can agree are deserving of any spots on lists like these

Half Life 1 was much better

...

Come on, Pepe, they're great games that are still highly influential well over a decade after they both came out.

>witness
>no myst

So all game sites are hopeless

Where can I go besides here?

>Uncharted, The Last of Us, Minecraft, Bloodborne, Dark Souls this high
a top 20 only containing CoD would be a list of better taste

Are they that stupid?
Do they hate RPGs?

Influential? Sure, but that's NOT what greatest games of all time is all about. It's about what games are the best and does HL2 and RE4 qualify? Hell no. Even their own criteria contradicts their choices, their criteria is supposed to be about gameplay and who the fuck would think HL2 is anything special today? It's complete garbage. Besides a few solid choices this entire list is just pandering to fanboys.

>people here unironically saying original Tetris deserve a place in top 1000
There are a lot of game who are better Tetris than tetris itself, stop acting like faggots

Kill yourself, faggot

I think they can be argued into a top 20

When games like DOOM doesn't even make their top 50? Nah.

>Street fighter sucks. injustice 2 is better in
that's where I stopped reading

You have no fucking idea about the value of fighting games if you think IJ2 is more than a passable casual party game.

>gaming journalists

...

B-but

ZELDA IS STILL BETTER!

I dunno if you hate GTA V might as well hate RDR too. Comfy atmosphere and all aside the missions were even shittier since the only fun thing about GTA V (driving) is replaced by just holding forward and pressing A. Also not putting San Andreas/Vice City there is a crime.

Galaxy 2 is just a rehash though I would also protest against Galaxy 1 since its a gimmickfest and nowhere near 64/Sunshine to begin with.

yeah show weekly sales instead of overall

It's a bit too progressive

both games are horrible sequels which reviewers had to like to not piss off blinded fans

now look up Dragon Age 2 to get really mad

injustice 2 is a better package than SFIV. im sorry, but its true.
but to be honest, neither belong in the top 20

Because Tetris is fun, user. Plus, it's not something that's limited to any sort of console, you can play on almost anything and everything.

the post mentioned USF4 buddy
which have like 45 characters, each of which are way better designed and more complex than any IJ2 characters

with a worse SP, online netcode and general replayability

user can't read

>17. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
>4. The Last of Us
Why are there movies on this list?

Objectively the top 10 GOATS (in no particular order):
>Doom (1993)
>Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
>X-COM: UFO Defence
>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
>Deus Ex
>Silent Hill 2
>Dark Souls
>StarCraft
>Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss
>Dwarf Fortress

Nope, I live in uk. It's full of Sony fags, and all people who get consoles are pressured by friends, workers and even strangers to get Sony.

>worse SP
>general replayability
having 6 hours of cutscenes mixed with the content of 2 arcade playthroughs isn't exactly better than simply having better designed gameplay with standard fighting game modes

a good fighting game has nearly infinite replayability and USF4 objectively has more if only because the game offers more depth

>online netcode
there is little difference between the two unless you are mixing up USF4 with SFV

This list looks like they picked random games released in the last 10 years out of a hat

FF12 but none of the others.
What.

tetris seems to be missing if you want the absolute objectiveness

>skyrim not even listed

Now this is a good list.

>20. Ultra Street Fighter IV
I'll allow it
>19. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
lolno
>18. Rez Infinite
It's good but not top 20
>17. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
2 was better
>16. Super Mario World
Okay
>15. Red Dead Redemption
Okay
>14. Super Mario 64
Should be higher
>13. Portal
2 was better
>12. Bayonetta 2
I prefer Wonderful 101 but okay
>11. Minecraft
Understandably given the impact
>10. Resident Evil 4
Okay
>9. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Okay
>8. Super Mario Galaxy 2
Not as good as 64
>7. Tetris
Okay
>6. Half-Life 2
Okay
>5. Bloodborne
Okay
>4. The Last of Us
nah senpai
>3. Grand Theft Auto V
Several GTAs are better
>2. Dark Souls
It's good but not no 2.
>1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
This name is way to new to say its literally the GOAT

>gtav
>Shit dead shitemption
What in the fuck? Other than those turd UK made games, HL2, TLoU (good but not great) and Tetris (had its day long ago), that's a damn fine list.
