Game Informer readers have chosen the 300 best games of all time, this is the top 10:
10. Bloodborne 9. Bioshock 8. Red Dead Redemption 7. Final Fantasy VII 6. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 4. Mass Effect 2 3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2. The Last of Us 1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Normie picks aside, seems like a pretty good list. Interesting facts, no Xbox exclusive games, 2 Nintendo exclusive titles and 2 Sony exclusive titles. Of the Top 10 titles, 8 can be played on Sony systems, 5 on Microsoft systems and 3 on Nintendo consoles.
>Skyrim instead of Oblivion >Mass Effect 2 instead of Mass Effect >Bloodborne instead of Dark Souls > The Last of Us appearing in a list of 300 at all
Maximus Keksimus. I would expect nothing less from the trash that read Game Informer.
Ryder Perry
I can't fucking stand 2 so those people are fucking idiots.
Blake Clark
That's good. I'm glad there's so many games out there that people can play across multiple genres and enjoy on a variety of platforms.
Jordan Roberts
Oblivion was the worst TES game, Dark Souls is unifnished
Aaron Ramirez
It had great story. Especially the DLCs
Liam Morgan
Look, if you aren't going to be angry, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Justin Foster
You have to admit it started pretty slow, and the first two or three Ciri scenes were ass.
Zachary Edwards
*Golden face*
Camden Taylor
fpbp
John Nelson
Lol nice lie
Jacob Gonzalez
what games would Sup Forums pick? make it western vidya first
Robert Watson
But I enjoy video games and it makes me happy when others get to as well.
Brandon Murphy
>Someone is mashing buttons and sucks at the combat >Gets hit from behind
>THE GAME IS BAD GUYS
Kill yourself
Jordan Martin
>6. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild >5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim lol >4. Mass Effect 2 ME1 deserved the spot
Besides those, I can at least see some reasoning behind each placement
Owen James
>Bloodborne Should be nowhere near a Top10 of all-time list. It's a great game but holy shit, it's not even close to the reputation of the games it takes from. >Bioshock Overrated trash. Gameplay is hot garbage. Some of the Randian stuff is a lot of fun to deal with but the game does not deliver on its promises. >RDR HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA >Final Fantasy VII I can understand this at least. >BOTW Fuck no. >Skyrim FUCK no. >ME2 I will never understand why people like this game. It's the same level of Marvel shit for videogames. Fucking bland and corporate as fuck. >Ocarina Again, can at least understand this. >TLOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA >WITCHER 3 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Isaiah Reyes
>10. Bloodborne pretty sure it's not 4xx dollars worth of good >9. Bioshock didn't play it >8. Red Dead Redemption Cowboy GTA >7. Final Fantasy VII muh childhood >6. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can I emulate this yet? I ain't buying a switch either. >5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Oblivion was a better game. >4. Mass Effect 2 Would have been ok if my asari wife didn't leave me and weapon mods were still a thing. >3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time MUH CHILDHOOD >2. The Last of Us >1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt How much does it cost if you have a popular game to get some shitty site/magazine to proclaim your game the best of all time?
I don't know about Witcher 3 being the best game ever, but that list could definitely be worse.
Brody Reed
Reverse the order that OP posted, and there ya go.
Hunter Hill
>some reasoning behind each placement bioshock, skyrim and tlou shouldnt be there
Christopher Mitchell
>Oblivion was the worst TES game
Shit bait. Skyrim was fucking watery dogshit compared to Oblivion. Was Morrowind better than Oblivion? Probably, but I've never played it.
Oblivion is superior to Skyrim in every way.
Jordan Carter
10s of MIllions of people bought so it has to be.
Landon Barnes
>the witcher 3 is the best game of all time
Oh FUCK off. I hate these terrible lists so much.
Oliver Flores
I thought it started okay, I wasn't going in expecting nonstop action, I expected story and slower pacing.
The Ciri scenes were the worst though. Blink is the only saving grace
Andrew Flores
>FF7 >Any FF >Good game
Pick one and only one.
Elijah Torres
Its the best Mass Effect and a great game, but no way is it Top 10 bests games of all time.
Daniel Cruz
FF4, FF6, FF7, FF9 are all understandable picks even though I have different preferences
Joseph Anderson
終わってんな…外人
Nicholas Powell
many of these are good games, but clearly not the best games ever made. I love Witcher, I love ocarina of time, I love blood borne. But none of those titles represent the best games ever.
>my face when I have been following The Witcher series since the first game, fucking loved Wild Hunt, and am just glad to see a company I love finally get the recognition they deserve from the world
what are the best games ever then? Some game that aged like shit? Some pixelated platformer?

Matthew Ross
I have tried to play TW3: WH on three separate occasions now. Every time I get 3 hours in and quit. Why? It seems great, but I can't get into it.
Juan Garcia
1. NieR Automata 2. Metal Gear Solid 2 3. Chrono Trigger 4. Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix 5. The Legend of Zelda 6. Final Fantasy IV 7. Dark Souls 8. Journey 9. NieR 10. Bloodborne
Samuel Ward
It is a better game, in literally all gameplay aspects. If you cant handle potato faces or actual RPG mechanics I'm sorry you're a goddamn child.
>Mass Effect 2 >number 4 It's a good game but come the fuck on. It's got way too many flaws.
James Peterson
Stop forcing it. If you don't want to play it, don't.
Oliver Martinez
I think this list is complete garbage and I'm a huge TW3 apologist. Pretty much decided purely by a popularity contest or whatever game had the "best narrative".
Joshua Turner
I can tell you why I don't get into it. The dialogue is stilted and for how many people say it's "well-written" I just don't see it. It's a cutscene game, propped up by videos. The gameplay is boring and never innovates or changes. World exploration is tedious, music is unremarkable, nothing it does is exceptional.
It bears the title of "Title with Least Problems" in 2015. That's its legacy.
Andrew Garcia
>best games of ALL time >All post 2005 except OoT and FF7 which have both been ported
Angel Campbell
FF IV through to IX are good games.
Landon Garcia
>Do you agree? What would you change?
>10. Bloodborne Never played, no comment >9. Bioshock It was ok. Tad too much bloom >8. Red Dead Redemption Not played >7. Final Fantasy VII Not Played >6. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Not Played >5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Eh, Id put vampire the masquerade here >4. Mass Effect 2 Nope, freelancer here >3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time I played some of this, not enough to give a fair assessment. At the time all I was playing was banjo kazooie >2. The Last of Us Not played >1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Deserved.
Some console exclusivity here prevents a lot of people from caring about these games.
This is genuinely, seriously, unironically the worst 10 top video game list I've ever seen. Just look at the fucking recency bias in this garbage. Is Game Informer that god awful magazine EB tries to shill anytime you go there?
Liam Turner
Are there any iconic GOAT games that aren't from Japan or US?
Luke Long
You're too young to be commenting on this list.
Michael Jones
None of those are top 10 material, and some don't even belong in the top 300 (Last of Us, Mass Effect 2, FFVII -- the rest are at best arguable).
Shows how fucking dumb modern gamers have no goddamn clue about game quality and the history of actual GAMES instead of their modern storybook BS.
It's pathetic. Thanks for ruining something I've seen grow from Pong through true entertainment in the early 90s down to style-over-substance and storybook BS in the late 90s to now.
Fucking modern gamers. Thanks for falling for Nintendo and Sony's viral marketing BS from the late 90s on.
Benjamin Collins
This user is correct. Fuck Game Informer and their biased, pretentious reviews and attitude.
Witcher 3 is the casual pleb's idea of a good game. If you think it deserves a spot on this list then you must either be new to video games or a bit simple
Lincoln Reed
lol you haven't played basic touchstones in gaming, so clearly you aren't.
Easton Hall
>Gameinformer has 4 SJWS on staff out of 40 people >somehow biased, pretentious
Reminder Game Informer was bought out by fucking GAMESTOP of all companies
Chase King
Interesting how all of the games are at most 10 years old aside from Final Fantasy and Ocarina of Time. 10 years from now those will be the only 2 in that list that are in GI's top 10 because the rest are forgettable shit aside from maybe Bloodborne and BOTW.
Jack Williams
I just don't get the love for The Last of Us. It's a movie. The story isn't new or groundbreaking, it's just a zombie movie with an old man and a (surrogate) daughter. The characters aren't particularly special either.
Why is it so universally praised and loved?
Samuel Young
>No Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario 64, or Super Mario World >Cinematic Movieshit in 2nd >Skyrim over all other Elder Scrolls
You're a fucking moron, OP. This is "popular games I grew up with" for the younger players, just like every one of these lists. OoT and FF7 only made the list because of the ridiculous amount of attention they still have. OoT got ported to 3DS and is available on their eShop stuff. FF7 is on Steam and the PS store, has gotten a lot of publicity for the remake, and is still advertised very heavily in general FF media (KH, Dissidia, etc.).

Isaiah Taylor
>List of games all made in the last 10 years with the exception of two, and those two games are on every single favorite list >GI readers are all 13 year olds
Yeah makes sense.
Jeremiah Campbell
The magazine has a different list 10. Witcher 3 9. Skyrim 8. Red Dead Redemption 7. Modern Warfare 6. Final Fantasy VI 5. World of Warcraft 4. GTA V 3. Tetris 2 & 1: Pic related
Probably the worst list I have ever seen and I'm not joking, memeing or whatever, this is hands down terrible. Are all the readers of that shitty site 13?
Samuel Diaz
>Not played >Not played >Not played >Not played
Your opinion is fucking worthless
Anthony Gomez
My personal top 5. 5. Sin 4. Halo 1 (nostalgia pick) 3. Red dead 2. Bioshock 2 1.Borderlands 2
Robert Green
Meh. Its a good enough normie list. Nothing wrong with it, in general.
The last of us and breath of the wild don't belong up there, all the same. But whatever.
My list would have a lot more classic Resident Evil and PS1 games. So who am i to talk?
Jaxson Harris
Anyone who agrees with this list should fuck off from this website and go straight to neofag.
Christian Gomez
Link to the Past is massively overrated. Like it's good, sure, but the original Legend of Zelda did just about everything LTTP did.
Chase Lopez
That's the editor's list, the one in the OP is the reader's list.
Camden Davis
That's the staff list.
Landon James
The GI Editors' list is much worse though, see
Ryan Gomez
>Like it's good, sure, but the original Legend of Zelda did just about everything LTTP did.
Worse, and LTTP refined it. That's the point.
Jordan Jenkins
