Wrong thread, it's not about the UEFA.

You've all walked in to their trap. The whole point was to get people talking and sharing the page. Even Forbes wanted to piggyback on that.
Yeah these seem to similar to listicles which dominated the internet between 2013-2016
Yeah just purely designed for engagement, and there's no better way than people vehemently disagreeing. They knew what would happen.

@OleBoiii I'm surprised you aren't into @RPGs
Can't stand the grind. I need to either challenge my brain or my dexterity. A good story and music is always nice, but it's more of a bonus to me. A big part of why I like the Zelda games(some people call these games RPGs) is because of the temples/dungeons.
Ultimately, I get no satisfaction from seeing a few icons and numbers change/become more impressive in the context of the game universe.
As a kid I used to ardently follow IGN but they've become a bit of a joke of late.
I think the gameplay is excellent. One of the best among the so called cinematic games.
I didnt give up because it was hard, it just didnt grip me in any way, the story was dull, the characters unlikable and it bored me.
Excellent choices, especially BG1 and 2
They are not same type of game. Minecraft is a world builder, gta is a world simulation . And you can't compare sales because one would cost 10-15 $ the other 60-70 at launch. Its like comparing sales of fiat and BMW.
Again the point is that these two games are popular because they are sandbox games, that's what appeals to people. I'm not comparing sales of the two games, I'm telling you why these two games are at the top of sales, which was your question.
Let's agree to completely disagree here and leave it at that.
Played it in 2015, never having played it before. One of the very few games I would have given a perfect 10/10. I can say the same for Deus Ex, FF6, FF7 and Chrono Trigger, all of them having played in 2013.
I actually think that they have have held up very well. At the contrary, replayed Mass Effect (via legendary edition), and I thought it had not held up well at all. Still enjoyable, but not one of the best games I ever played like I considered it before.
Exactly. I'd extend that to enemies as well. There was a bit too much reskinning for my liking. But for the bosses, I fought all the valks for the plat which was great but if someone just did the main story - there was actually not a single actual 'boss' fight. In fact fighting those giants shitting lasers out of their chests was more fun than fighting any of the so called bosses which were like following a guided tutorial for the fight for most part. I mean I felt that before entering the FromSoft universe, but now after finishing BB, that looks a lot worse.
I already did that, that's why I said that I understand why you rate it the way you do.
Play Hollow Knight.
Is RDR2 even in there? That image is a feckin nightmare to navigate. It's only tiny or massive on my laptop, no in between.
Think only RDR is there and not RDR2. Blasphemy.
We all know that's the greatest game of all time, so any lists are simply the second best game after that.
It's on my list and I'm sure that it's great. But I doubt that it's going to invoke the same wow-factor as the other two games did in the early 90's.
Didn't for me really. I just finished it and while it's great, I just don't feel the magic in games I did when I was younger.
That's beyond ridiculous
Amen.
Chrono Trigger lost to Burnout 3
Don’t think so just Red Dead Redemption which is outrageous if you’re not including two in a best game poll..
Nostalgia obviously plays a part, but I think it's harder to make something revolutionary these days. It's all about boosting the graphics, making the map bigger and adding more guns and items.
NES allegedly "saved" the gaming industry. SNES is the 2D console. N64 added 4-player multiplayer, rumbling controllers, z-targeting and revolutionised 3D gaming overall. The PS and PS2 had massive libraries and great RPGs. Counter Strike and Quake made competitive FPS games great. The SSB series did something unique in the fighting game genre etc etc.
The most revolutionary thing about the last 10-15 years of gaming is all the opportunities that has come with high-speed internet. The rise of indie games is also a unique feature, although I don't think the games themselves are that great. They're essentially a return to the SNES, with better graphics and smoother controls etc.

Yes, hopefully. I hope Samus makes that whoosh sound when she see spins across rooms. I also hope she can still run through things at speed.
Missing Ghost of Tsushima
It's voted by readers, right? Most people who read IGN aren't old enough to have even heard of Chrono Trigger so it's hardly surprising. If it's a popular vote you can't argue with too much other than games being missing from the actual list.
Thanks folks, truly bizarre it's not included.
Definitely not. Great looking game, decent story but by the end of the game I lost interest in it. Combat is ok, but nothing special. It's quite repetitive with a pretty terrible upgrade tree and the fast travel system is awful. I'd give it a 7 if I had to stick an arbitrary score on it.
Out of the games listed here, my top three (in no particular order) would be:
Bloodborne
Bioshock
Resident Evil 4
GTA V being where it is....come on. Ridiculous

A man of fine taste.
Any Bubsy game.
Any Zelda game (even though ive not bothered looking at the list) has to be up there.
Definitely
Some of those N64 classics absolutely do hold up well though, it is part of what makes OoT and SM64 so special and why the former in particular is always near the top of any respectable list.
As opposed to the gameplay of Skyrim holding up with its infamously shit combat.
