RedCafe's Top 50 Video Games Of All Time Submission/Discussion Thread

[Redlambs]

Actually I did a @Redlambs a few days ago but no response from you. Would be interested to see how many games I have played from your top 20.

Probably most if not all of the ones I'll put later tbh. If I sat down and thought properly of all the games that have given me most fun, not only would I be there for weeks, it'd feature lots of obscure gems that people will no doubt have missed. It's times like this I wish I had got round to setting up a room with all my games on display

 

[Redlambs]

Did Redlambs ever post a list?

I reckon he's scared of disappointing. He can't go for all the obvious ones since he likes to feel like some sort of game connoisseur.

But if he's too different he risks leaving out incredible games.

Plus, I doubt there's 5 games that he hasn't massively criticized people for liking on this forum. He can't hide from his old posts.
Hopefully this baits him into posting his list.

No, genuine absent minded. Besides I wouldn't post games just for the sake of it! I'm not Weaste you know, my list that I'm quickly doing right now is pretty obvious

Hope so too, it appears he has taste. :-p

I get him, was excited as well at start, but then people started posting their lists.

Nah, seeing the likes of Skyrim is pretty much what was expected. It's an age thing, besides people like what they like. I might be harsh on the modern games (as they are dumbed tripe on a whole) but not the people who enjoy them.

Why would you bring Weaste's name up in a thread about videogames?

Aye, no modern game can hold a candle to the epic tale of Pong.

Nah mate, I actually kind of agree.

My prediction for his top 5;

WeasteDevil
Olly
Revan
Earthquake
Redlambs

So, lambs, come on, tell us the 5 you'd do.

 

[Redlambs]

Deus Ex - Greatest all round game ever developed. Technically, gameplay, story, sound...you name it, this has it.
Super Mario 3 - This was the turning point for platformers of the time and what they are now.
Half Life - Introduced epic shoot-out moments to fps games, one of the biggest advancements either.
System shock 2 - Should be further up, as a fps/rpg hybrid second only to DX.
Morrowind - A masterpiece of old school rpg and in-depth world lore.
Mario 64 - Original and still the greatest 3D platformer ever made. Will never be topped.
Zelda: A link to the past - Utter beauty.
Elite - Another original and still the best moments. Even from the 80's.
Paper Mario 64 - Amazing game. Super Mario RPG introduced Nintendo to square, this though was the pinnacle of that series to date. Play it.
Zelda: Ocarina of time - Say no more.
KOTOR: Best star wars game that isn't academy.
FF 6: Absolute masterpiece. 7 appealed to the masses, and the later ones did good things to the magic system, but this was the finest hour.
Thief 1: Still one of the best sneaking games to date.
Goldeneye: Obvious.
Halo 1: Moved the genre forward much like HL1 did. The last big A.I leap too.
Turrican 2: In this age of graphics over everything, Turrican reminds us that you can be technically superior to everything else in all ways, and still create genre defining moments that last.
Super Metroid: One of the 16-bit era's finest moments.
Streetfighter 2: Talk about basically starting an entire genre. Yeah there were previous fighters, but this just moved everything forward in leaps and bounds.
Eternal Darkness: Still one of THE most underrated games of it's time.
Psycho Fox: Yeah Mario 3 and Yoshi's island and the likes took platform gaming to a whole new level each time, but this game still stands shoulder to shoulder. It's 'sequels' are worth a shout too.


And a shout out to Alan Wake which I just noticed made it 21 sadly One for this generation and criminally overlooked.

 

[Redlambs]

My prediction for Lambo's top 5;

Super Mario 64
Deus Ex
Link to the Past
Half Life
Super Mario Kart

Sadly I forgot Mario Kart. There'd be a speccy game or two in there too if I thought about it

My prediction for his top 5;

WeasteDevil
Olly
Revan

So, lambs, come on, tell us the 5 you'd do.

You sell yourself short my friend.

 

[Redlambs]

Dammit. BodyHarvest too.

 

[Scrumpet]

I'm afraid you've missed the deadline.

 

[Redlambs]

I'm afraid you've missed the deadline.

I'm sure the duffster will allow it. Especially since I lost track of time digging out my master system controllers to introduce my boys to real gaming

 

[Scrumpet]

Deadlines are what separate us from the animals. Please try again next time.

 

[Spoony]

Dammit. BodyHarvest too.

No Kart or Sensi?

 

[Twigg]

Have you collated the results yet, Duffy?

 

[Redlambs]

No Kart or Sensi?

Done in a rush. There's lots missed out, even if we did a hundred I'd still be going on for ages changing every 5 minutes.

 

[Alock1]

Seriously... how long does it take??!!

Ahh, I had Morrowind for you but took it out Redlambs. Wasn't sure on Half Life, didn't expect Super Mario 3 though - was sure it'd be 64.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

Weaste was a no show then.

 

[Redlambs]

Ahh, I had Morrowind for you but took it out Redlambs. Wasn't sure on Half Life, didn't expect Super Mario 3 though - was sure it'd be 64.

Mario64 is the defining 3D platformer to this date. But Mario 3 was just a complete game changer, not just for the series, but the entire genre.

Half Life is still the basis for today's shooters, that and the amazement of playing it for the first time and still now whenever I go back, it had to be right up there. There's lots I'd change right now, and of course (for example) maybe instead of Goldeneye I could have gone Perfect Dark or Timesplitters 2, but sometimes you just have to go with the starting point. Especially since it's still as good as those that follow it.

 

[Redlambs]

Weaste was a no show then.

He couldn't be arsed to google names of 20 games.

He's only played about 8.

You mean thing! (I was tempted to say something similar)

 

[Alock1]

Little awkward, since you've missed the most obvious choice for GOAT Redlambs and not thought to atleast apologize for this oversight.

Crash Team Racing

 

[Alock1]

He couldn't be arsed to google names of 20 games.

He's only played about 8.

And 7 of those were made by Insomniac who he refuses to acknowledge now that they're working on an Xbox One exclusive.

 

[Revan]

He couldn't be arsed to google names of 20 games.

He's only played about 8.

And he could finish only two of them.

 

[Duffy]

Have you collated the results yet, Duffy?

Collated them earlier but not gonna be able to count down until Monday, got a mental busy weekend - apologies all, you'll just have to wait and see what happens, it's a close run thing.

 

[Twigg]

Ah, fair enough.

 

[Duffy]

While I'm busy the next few days ladies and gents, you can put your heads together and decide which top 50 countdown we want to do next.

Movies, TV shows, Video game and albums have been done now, haven't they? What else is left?

Top 50 cover versions?

 

[duffer]

Top 50 books, top 50 songs, top 50 sporting heroes, top 50 favourite meals, top 50 Internet top 50s, top 50 Redcafe posters, top 50 inventions, top 50 sexiest people.

I would expect myself to get votes in at least 3 of the above.

 

[Alock1]

Characters

 

[Redlambs]

Top 50 stupid things Microsoft have said about the xbone?

 

[Scrumpet]

States of America
Colours
Crisp flavours
UFO sightings

 

[Alock1]

All good ideas.

I'd say Crisp flavours or characters though.

 

[Alock1]

Not crisp characters.

 

[Nickosaur]

MMMMMM crisp flavours

 

[R.N7]

Movies, TV shows, Video game and albums have been done now, haven't they? What else is left?

Top 50 cover versions?

Not with Duffy. The last movie one was a disaster, we need a fresher Duffy touch..

 

[Revan]

Top 50 RPG, top 50 game protagonists, top 50 game antagonists, top 50 game companions, top 50 game characters, top 50 game soundtracks, top 50 'Oh my God, what the feck' moments in video games.

Top 50 movies, top 50 books, top 50 characters on movies, top 50 actors/actresses etc.

 

[Donut]

Bump!

 

[Ryan's Beard]

top 50 'Oh my God, what the feck' moments in video games.

Number 1 for this category is, without any room for debate, the moment in Oblivion in the Dark Brotherhood quest line where you find out that you've been working for a traitor and have systematically wiped out the entire group of people you thought you were supposed to be helping.

I think that my username character from Kotor and Aeris moment on Final Fantasy VII disagree.

 

[Ryan's Beard]

I said no room for debate.

No room.
