The bad "V"
@golden_blunder owes me a favourMaybe if someone can add a poll:
Option 1 is the current round as the final
Option 2 is going for a knockout method instead

Just to be clear, I still think this method will be the one that is more fair!@golden_blunder owes me a favour
I do?@golden_blunder owes me a favour
No more silly than the PC getting 10 options.It was a bit silly though. They had plenty of chances to get through in each normal round. That round was clearly added in so certain posters could get their favourite game into the final

Actually no, let's keep as is. As I said before, I got more ideas for these in the future and one of them involves knockouts at the end so to keep things interesting going forward, let's stick to the original plan here. Sorry lads!I do?
Thanks mate, really appreciate that! People have complained so much that sometimes I wonder why I did this!No more silly than the PC getting 10 options.
@Dirty Schwein has done an amazing job through this.
There is no definitive way of doing something as broad as this the effort he's put into it is outstanding. @Vidyoyo deserves a shout out too.
People have complained and moaned throughout, and even now after the closest thing to a democratic vote to get to this shortlist there are still people complaining.
I actually found the Indie round the most interesting. There was a lot more discussion IMO and people sharing recommendations.
Mate that wasn't aimed at you. Apologies if it sounded like that!@Dirty Schwein that was my first complaint to be fair! You have done a brilliant job.
But one of those games is in the final round here, and the other is the arguably superior (and objectively more successful) sequel to another game in the final round here. So I'm not really sure what your point is.Not even close. That one had GTA V vs God of War as its "final". There are a lot more credible choices here in the final round.
Reckon it'll be TW3, TLOU, FF7 in that order.Looking at some of the votes this is going to be pretty competitive I think. I can see The Witcher 3 edging it, but we'll see.
My point was clear, a face-off of GTA V and God of War for greatest game of all time is a complete shambles. We're going to end up with a much better winner (and by extension much better runners-up) here, that's almost certain.But one of those games is in the final round here, and the other is the arguably superior (and objectively more successful) sequel to another game in the final round here.

At least the IGN one had a much greater diversity of games, whereas this one most of the rounds offer 2 or 3 variations on the same theme.
IGN's was a tournament, so the final round had two games. Here, the final round has like 30 games.But one of those games is in the final round here, and the other is the arguably superior (and objectively more successful) sequel to another game in the final round here.

So far, this is closer than any qualifying round. Most game near the top are only a few votes apart.Looking at some of the votes this is going to be pretty competitive I think. I can see The Witcher 3 edging it, but we'll see.
I dunno, would have to take some time to think about it, but one with a lot more diversity of games.What would be your ideal top 10 list?
But Mario games were truly head and shoulders above most games in their era and there's a reason why they're so popular in gaming culture. As we have progressed in the contest, they have had less impact, mirroring real life.I dunno, would have to take some time to think about it, but one with a lot more diversity of games.
10% of the options here are Super Mario, and most of the rounds threw up various flavours of the same formula.
But you're comparing apples to oranges - a better comparison is this list of 30 vs the IGN second round which leaves 32.My point was clear, a face-off of GTA V and God of War for greatest game of all time is a complete shambles. We're going to end up with a much better winner (and by extension much better runners-up) here, that's almost certain.
Yeah there are some games missing here, the selection process isn't flawless. Still going to be a lot better than IGN's though.
Yeah, 10% of which are Super Mario, and plenty just to make up the numbers.IGN's was a tournament, so the final round had two games. Here, the final round has like 30 games.
The whole thing was based on limited picks for each gen and Mario was the best of multiple gens, the idea wasn't to get one game each from each genre. That was discussed and could possibly be another content, but this wasn't that.I dunno, would have to take some time to think about it, but one with a lot more diversity of games.

I was going to type a different reply until I saw the boldedThat's quite an underwhelming list of games right there. Piss poor taste. Where the feck is Bioshock? Rounds 8 and 9 are disaster zones. Terrible stuff. Also, Witcher 3? Come on. And the wrong GTA is there. It's obviously Vice City.
Shit show
And with all that whinging and crying out the way, here's my list:
1. Bloodbourne
2. Metal Gear Solid
3. Street Fighter 2
4. PES (series)
5. Super Mario Bros. 3
6. Hades
7. Super Mario World
8. The Last Of Us
9. Tetris
10. GTA: San Andreas
Your positioning of Street Fighter and Hollow Knight has really disappointed meIt was nice getting our beloved Pure Vessel this far, but I think I'd have to look at this broader list with a bit more thought. This might well change!
- Super Mario Bros.
- Bloodborne
- Super Mario Bros 3
- Mass Effect
- Street Fighter 2
- GTA San Andreas
- Hollow Knight
- Football Manager
- Age of Empires 2
- CS 1.6
We will do this at some point!The whole thing was based on limited picks for each gen and Mario was the best of multiple gens, the idea wasn't to get one game each from each genre. That was discussed and could possibly be another content, but this wasn't that.

Yeah, should be good.We will do this at some point!
God of War was incredible. GTA V isn't worthy.Not even close. That one had GTA V vs God of War as its "final". There are a lot more credible choices here in the final round.
Actually shocked how low you have HK.It was nice getting our beloved Pure Vessel this far, but I think I'd have to look at this broader list with a bit more thought. This might well change!

Moby is that guy who convinces everyone to order an item on the menu cause it's the most delicious thing ever and then doesn't order it himself.
Yeah. Especially considering he played it for 600 hours last yearActually shocked how low you have HK.

It's always going to be subjective of course, but comparing our list to the 32 bracket from IGN, I still think ours is superior (and that's with two games less). Yes, there are games from those 32 I would have liked to see here, like Burnout 3 or Breath of the Wild, but the other way around, theirs doesn't have a single RTS for example. It has dross like Rise of the Tomb Raider which had knocked out Half-Life 2 in the previous round (just let that sink in! ).But you're comparing apples to oranges - a better comparison is this list of 30 vs the IGN second round which leaves 32.
Yeah, 10% of which are Super Mario, and plenty just to make up the numbers.
This isn't anything against @Dirty Schwein, who's done a good job organising it, but the round voting was far more interesting and exciting - I was just very disappointed when I saw the list available to choose from and couldn't find 10 that I cared enough about to vote for.
