​

Renowned UK gaming industry magazine EDGE has updated it's top 100 games of all time list for 2017:

Welcome to the 2017 edition of The 100 Greatest Videogames. If you’re not familiar with the format, here are our rules. In compiling this list, we worked to simple criteria: all formats – portable, touchscreen, console, PC, whatever – were eligible; we could include only a single entry from any series that features straight-up sequels; and each game had to stand up today rather than making the cut for reasons of nostalgia or historic significance.

Not all of the games featured here are new, however. In fact, some of the most invigorating parts of the curation process involved pulling out and replaying a number of the most seasoned titles from the Edge archives. Hopefully this much-argued-over collection will inspire you in the same way.

[Deleted-355425]

No fallout games?!

I've lived for 26 years. Sure, it may not be a lot compared to some other members of this great community, but I do believe that you see some things in 26 years of life.

Not once, in those 26 years of lifetime, have I squirted hot coffee out of my nose, and made a full embarrassment out of myself in public, as well as having burned my sinus, which is quite painful at the moment. Until today. I might go to the hospital later.

To summarize, my point is very simple:

Who the actual fuck created this list?

Thank you for reading.

 

[lordkaos]

they included final fantasy XII on the list but not final fantasy VI. fire emblem fates but not awakening, metal gear solid 5 but not 1 or 3, they also didn't include chrono trigger and Kerbal Space Program is in a better position than link to the past.

 

[EyeZ]

I've played 68/100.

Must try harder

 

[rileysrjay]

Of course gbatemp doesn't like this ranking, the edge put BOTW at #1 game of all time when gbatemp gave it a 7.5. the real list for best games should start with these two imo:
1. Sonic 06
2. Bubsy 3d

Any other suggestions for what should be third, fourth, etc.?

 

[RobXcore]

No SC:BroodWar? Fuck dat shit lol

 

[Reploid]

There is doom reboot, but not real thing? Idiots

 

[szymon170]

Why do you say that Sonic should be somewhere in this list, why does it deserve that title?

[Windaga]

That's certainly an interesting list. I don't disagree or agree with any of the locations, though I find it interesting that there are some titles that have objectively better iterations - if it's not counting nostalgia or historic value, why is Bomberman on this list and not one of it's many, objectively better sequels? I mean even the remake is better than the original in literally every way That doesn't make much sense to me.

 

[YugamiSekai]

BOTW is in the right spot.

 

[SonicfanCEMUTesting]

No Sonic 1, 2 or even Adventure?



TRIGGERED

 

[proflayton123]

9/100 not bad although that list is a bit comprehended

 

[YuseiFD]

Incoming comment war for all the people saying x game should be higher than y.

But X-com was shit compared to Yu-Gi-Oh!

 

[Deleted User]

People will always moan if they don't see their fav game in Top. 100 or lower than #1.
This is their magazine and their Top 100, stop losing your shit people.

Obviously paid off list

Persona 4 golden and not Persona 5?
Breath of the wild? really? OoT is the top of Zelda's franchise afaik
no Sonic? no Pokemon main franchise? no Kirby?

old retro games are obviously missing - Secret\shit of the monkey island? Lego Racers? Little Fighter 2? project M.U.G.E.N? Cave Story (not really considered a full retro but more of an indie, still)? Quake 3 Arena?

even more biased - no TCG franchises... Yu-Gi-Oh/Magic the gathering?

and the worst crime of all - not including Diablo 2 there - that's like asking to called biased.


but some of the choices I really liked...

puting Super Meat Boy - clever
including any of the Persona series was a must, how small they are considered - they are big enough for best games of all times.
Half Life 2 and not 1 is a good choice, though Portal 1 and not 2 is not. Mass Effect 2 is a good choice

including OoT was a clear must, Hearthstone too - it saved their TCG opinion in gaming at all (the only TCG there I think), Far Cry 4 was a good choice too....

DoTA and LoL was a must - too much big of a MOBA, but I'd cut their choice to just DoTA seeing that it's impact is bigger and it was "more original", it will be like including Rock Band and not Guitar Hero (which they did) or Tetris Deluxe and not Tetris (the original) - I mean who had the bigger impact? the more original - the one who started it all, that's why I'd stick to DoTA 1 and not DoTA 2

also the lack of good racing games (Dirt franchise? F1? and no don't even consider Need for Speed) or car simulator (Project Cars????)

the lack of the best strategy game of all time - Red Alert franchise?

they are sort of criminals imo

This list was created by Satan.

Nah. I think it was made by people who don't know that there are other cool games to put into the list.
