GBAtemp's best game(s) of all time

[Deleted User]

Last edited 5 years ago? Hmph, we all know what the best game is anyway.

Which is?

Something made by Valve.

The fact that people would say TWEWY before any Valve game is not just surprising, it's downright shameful. I mean I love a lot of games but almost every game I truly love has flaws. Valve games have no flaws.

So it's either Half Life 2 or Portal 2.

Valve games have a huge flaws, they never come out after the 2nd iteration

It only takes two to tango

To be fair, a lot of third games in a series tend to be...subpar.

If the list isn't going to get updated it's best that this thread is closed.

That much was known.


Your point?

JK. But seriously, I'm just saying. Perhaps the mods could switch OP "status" to someone else who wants to update it (if that's possible), or else someone could restart this thread.

I'm assuming this is sarcasm.

If not, you shouldn't be gaming.

Well, now you had me go and look up Valve on Wikipedia, so yes, I know what you're talking about. But for the record, sarcasm would be, "Ohh, I looooove FPSs where you run around busting up ceiling fans and flipping switches. Those 'puzzles' are so fun!!" Time to retire from gaming I guess.

I can't believe a single gamer wouldn't know who Valve is.

They've literally pioneered digital distribution to the point of almost monopolizing PC game distribution and have made some of the finest games in history.

Valve is only really at the point of almost monopolizing steam...
Outside of steam they don't have much of an effect.
Portal 2 on the PS3/360 is great but there are a lot of better titles for consoles out there.
Also, "finest games in history" is not defined, everyone will give a different answer if you asked them.

Ratchet and Clank 3 and Super Mario Bros. 3 would like to say otherwise.

I knew the games, but not the name of the company. I'm also not a PC gamer, my laptop even has a hard time running Tenhou (a browser-based mahjong game)! I have tons of friends that are into those games, but they don't talk about how 'Valve' is so awesome. They are just like 'Yo, Half Life 2 is the best ever! Portal, OMG, cake is a lie!" And because I'm so terribly open-minded, I've played each of these games for a few hours at their houses. I do not enjoy them. My friends, who usually have good taste in games, love them, so it's not like I think they're total garbage. But yeah, not my thing.

And even as far as digital distribution goes, I only really know about GOG, because they have old crap that runs on my computer like Jagged Alliance and Caesar.

That is all I will say to you good sir!

 

[TripleSMoon]

Precisely. It's kind of ridiculous to throw out stuff like "Valve OBVIOUSLY makes the best games." Or "I can't believe any REAL gamer wouldn't know what Valve is." Especially considering how subjective "best game of all time" is. People are gonna have different opinions, and that's that.

That said, now that I have a 360, I should pick up the original Portal from the XBLA, followed by grabbing Portal 2 (assuming I like the first one). Thanks for reminding me!

Casual gamers are talking about their casual games.

Guild tries to educate about hardcore mature games for hardcore gamers.

shit get serious.

Half Lie 2 is the finest FPS of all time.

Lol. I suppose I should pick that one up too... *groan* I'm drowning in way too any games I need to play!

I don't play Valve games, but even I know that Valve games are PC masterpieces XD.
Mmm. My fav. game so far is... Loz: Skyward Sword.
And yes I do agree with emigre, Half-Life 2 is the shit. XD

 

[Krestent]

My vote goes to Skyward Sword (unless I've already voted but have forgotten), with Metroid Prime Trilogy being a close second.
