Put up my personal list:
http://www.favslist.com/users/William-Fleming/3842/lists/4
And then went on to make a favourite fighting games list with the highest community votes were Sub zero and Scorpion. Ah well, they are in one of the most well known fighting game franchises of all time. So I start making own list in that category and realise that its missing Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear, in fact, the only GG character I could find was Bridgette (who is popular for a certain reason that can found in a quick Google search for anyone who doesn't know).
I can't help but feel that the site is populated by "casuals" for lack of a better word and also Mass Effect 2 at rank #1. I think its best that I don't go near that site again but I just don't agree with Mass Effect 2 being rated #1 game of all time.

Fair enough. Personally, part of the reason I enjoy Halo so much is because its story doesn't try to go too overboard in being complicated or concerned with specifics while also not building up simplistic political parties which are completely black and white e.g. the Covenant Civil War. I also feel that it manages to integrate all of its mechanics into the story far better than most games, and builds maps which complement those mechanics nicely.Fox12 said:
And I highly doubt you'd ever see a list of "Top [Number] Games" that was full of nothing but shooters, unless you were specifically looking for a list of shooters or found it on a website that doesn't regularly cover video gaming topics. Even Call of Duty has begun losing its stranglehold on the industry, albeit slowly, and the copycats have routinely been relatively bad for years.
I can live with Final Fantasy VII being there, I suppose, but the lack of IX certainly hits me in the feels. Though I know it tends to be as much of a black sheep of the franchise as VIII was; a lot of people didn't like the art style, or they don't like the combat system, or they don't find the story interesting, etc.Ratty said:
Oh well. Just because it's my favorite game doesn't mean it'll be anyone else's.
Frog Fractions doesn't even register
Well, that just won't do at all! D:
Also, "Riven" being in the 800s is just criminal. Almost as criminal as "Uru" being in the 1000s.

Yeah I should say I don't think it deserves being #1, I know a lot of people love it, I just wouldn't put it at the top as you said. Now I know how people who don't have a good opinion of Ocarina of Time feel every time it tops "best game" lists. XDFox12 said:
My comment probably makes me look like I'm really unhappy about it, but I'm just more surprised. I've seen lots of love for Last of Us, but I didn't think it would overtake all the crowd favorites like Ocarina of Time, Mass Effect 2, Half Life 2 etc.erttheking said:
I'm honestly much more sad about Pokemon Black and White's incredibly low placement on the list personally.
My list, for those that are curious [http://www.favslist.com/users/Raggy-Mc-Raggs/3843/lists/4]. My list may not be "complete" as I have a strict one game per franchise rule, otherwise there would be too many repeats with a select few franchises dominating. This list also seems to split ports, compilations, and other remakes/remasters as well, which might bugger up the voting process. For example, Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix are considered different entries, as are Okami and Okami HD (ie the PS3 port), and then there's Slys 1, 2, and 3 and then the Sly Cooper Collection (which contains all 3).
Glad Shadow of the Colossus is doing well. Journey also made the top 30 so far. Woo!

It's because hardcore gamers don't need to validate the superiority of their favourites. You could say neither do casuals, they just do those lists for fun, but that hardly matters: only casuals play "for fun".William Fleming said:
Any top list that doesn't include UFO: Enemy Unknown, Elite, Nethack, Dwarf Fortress, Cookie Clicker, Hearts of Iron II, and Deus Ex in that order is absolute whack.
What a terrible list. If that is indicative of the actual gaming public, it answers the question why AAA publishers are producing and selling shit. Baldur's Gate II 147, Mirror's Edge, 101 (also ahead of XCOM:EU, UT, BG&E, SS2, Monkey Island 2.
I cannot give that list any legitimacy, it would make me weep for gaming as a whole. I suspect it was filled out overwhelmingly by console gamers under twenty.

That list is sad beyond belief really.
I think it would of been better if they just did this in segments between PC crowd and console gamers..the lists would of had been way different and interesting to see.

Well, I might as well share my contribution as well [http://http://www.favslist.com/users/DK-Hall/3833/lists/4]. I have to say, I think this is the most accurate top games list I've ever made.
As for the results, I can't say I'm surprised. It's a lot of the same titles that typically top these sorts of lists. I think all the animosity over The Last of Us placing so high is just because of how new it is.

You seem to be implying that PC gamers don't play consoles, or that none of their favorite games would happen to be console/multi-platform titles.DarkhoIlow said:

Although for some reason it's only displaying the top 5.
I really couldn't decide how to rank them. Does 500 hours of enjoying a game count for more than 4 hours of absolute gold? I don't really know.
There are a few childhood favourites on there, like Spyro the dragon. Not sure how well they hold up these days, but I've got fond memories of them, so they make the list.
