Your actual top 10/20/25/50/100/200 games - have you ever?

Personally



But I did have a Sonic ring game thing.

Also you put Snake Eater as your number 1 MG in the MG Thread but Guns of the patriots here.

I think Snake Eater is the best standalone game, but as a fan who's really invested in the series, 4 was just so satisfying. It's like I was saying, if I'd written it the week before, it might've been Twilight Princess and Snake Eater. If I do it next week, it might be Link Between Worlds and Metal Gear Solid.

Here it is my Top 25, 100 would just take to long and be hard to do. The 25 here was hard to pick, the top 8 not so much but I changed 10th place quite a few times and there's so many classics missing that just thinking about it I could do a top 500-1000 easy but not sure on the order of them all that would be the problem.

Mas's Top 25 (27) games of all time :

Taking everyone's Top 10's into account and using the normal voting system, 1st get's 10points, 2nd get's 9points and so on. Out of the 7 of us whom posted at least a top 10 in order.

Here's the GNamer Top 10 games of all-time:

Bloody hell! I forgot Resi 4!

The Revised Buskalilly Top Ten Games of All Time:

Sorry, Street Fighter, you're bumped! Appropriate, really, this was the one game that was only on the list as a result of nostalgia, rather than being a genuinley extraordinary game.

Not with games, but i've done it with movies and music in the past. Games change daily. Any new game I love automatically becomes GOTY material....

Surely Movies is harder to do Axis

IGN has just posted there top 100 games of the last gen.
But here's the top 10
10th COD 4 Modern Warfare
9th Journey, Andy we like this being here
8th GTAV
7th Red Dead Redemption
6th Minecraft
5th Fallout 3
4th Skyrim
3rd The Last of Us
2nd Portal 2
1st Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo give me a HD version of this so I can play it please

After finishing persona 4 golden twice now I've decided to revisit my list, this time I added a tenth game and actually numbered them. The numbering of the top five can change a little at times, but this is a good estimate. The last three aren't set in stone either.

1.) Persona 4 Golden
2.) Xenoblade
3.) Persona 3 portable
4.) Zelda majoras mask
5.) Zelda wind waker
6.) "Latest Version" Pokemon
7.) Super smash bros melee
8.) soul calibur 2
9.) Ys seven
10.) Tales of Xillia

I haven't done one of these lists in years. Thinking about it now, Crazy Taxi would definitely be top in a list of ten, and Banjo-Kazooie, Mario Kart 64, F-Zero X, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, Bishi Bashi Special and Hogs of War would all very likely feature. In the last five years, of the games I've played, I'd have to consider Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokémon HeartGold, Sonic Generations, Kirby's Epic Yarn and Super Mario Galaxy 2 as well. Then there's stuff like OutRun 2, Gran Turismo 3, WWF No Mercy, Wii Sports and others...

Hmm. Might need to think about this.

BA-BA-BA-BUMP!

I was chatting to Masofdas in the car about my top 10 games of all time, and it came up in the Last Game thread as well when Bioshock was mentioned, so I've decided to do my list again. This is as much for myself as anything, I'd like to have it all written down in order.

Number 10:

Number 9:

Number 8:

Number 7:

Number 6:

Number 5:

Number 4:

Joint Number 1!:

Even that list still feels like its missing some real stand-outs. I could easily fill a top ten with Zelda, Mario and Metal Gear alone so I only allowed myself one from each. Even then I've cheated, counting Mass Effect's 3 entries as one game and refusing to choose between the Wii Zeldas.
Then there are games I love to bits which didn't make the cut; Shadow of the Collossus, Binary Domain, Vanquish, Super Metroid, Animal Crossing, XCom the Arkham Games...
And even if I expanded the list to include those, that's still a primarily singleplayer list. Games like Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, Splatoon and Wario Ware have provided hours and hours of fun, and all hold a place in mine and my friends' hearts.

I really, really like games.

EDIT: Just scrolled up to my old list. Xenoblade! Star Fox 64! GHOST TRICK! 10 is too hard, there are so many games that need to be on the list

Nicely resurrected, Drunka.  I can certainly contribute here - my list has changed significantly since I gave it (but still salvages a couple of your cast-offs ).

Balladeer's old list:

Ch-ch-ch-CHANGES!  SSBM and SSBB have been completely overshadowed by SSBU; HGSS, while still great games, have just been left behind a bit by the march of time; and sadly, SM64 didn't live up to my memories of it when I played it on the Wii U's Virtual Console.  The level design's still beltin', and the graphics haven't aged as badly as several N64 games', but the camera is terrible in this day and age.

So, what intrudes into the list?  SSBU, natch; and then a couple of 9.5/10s, supremely excellent games with noticeable flaws.  MK8 is the best racing game I've ever played, but it lacked a substantial single-player and Battle Mode - not major modes (not at all), but I do pine for the days of Mission Mode and Block Fort.  Meanwhile, Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations is the best story-based game I've played, with a blinder of a plot - but it also has an incredibly offensive stereotype in Jean Armstrong.  A minor character, not enough to spoil the game (not at all), but enough to leave a nasty taste in my mouth.

So, the new Balla-list, in (very) rough and flexible inverse order of goodness:

• Phoenix Wright T&T
  
• MK8
  
• Meteos
  
• Ghost Trick
  
• SSBU
  
• OoT and OoT3D combined
  
• Xenoblade
  
• Metroid Prime
  
• Paper Mario TTYD
  
• Twilight Princess

Subject to change, natch.

I wasn't even going to post again since I thought my list was the same, boy was I wrong!

01.) Persona 3 Portable
02.) Zelda majoras mask
03.) Xenoblade
04.) Tales of Xillia
05.) Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
06.) Danganronpa: Goodbye Despair
07.) Persona 4 Golden
08.) "Latest Version" Pokemon
09.) Zelda wind waker
10.) Lightning Returns


Several evictions from the list, Persona 3 reclaiming its rightful top spot as one of the greatest rpgs of all time, and the Danganronpa duo making their presence known. Wind Waker also loses places due not having played it for getting on ten years at this point. If the HD revision is as good as I remember it may be crawling back up to third spot in the not too distant future however.

1. Shenmue 1/2
2. Resident Evil 4
3. Fallout 3
4. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
5. Super Mario Galaxy
6. Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
7. Crazy Taxi
8. Advance Wars
9. PES 2016
10. Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)

I'm playing Chrono Trigger at the moment and this could sneak in to the Top 10. PES is a temporary one, as it's blown me away this year and I play it most days, but it's not something I'll play in five years time.

I used to insist Super Mario 64 is in my Top 10, but having had it on the Wii-U VC, it feels quite dated and simplistic. In fact, most N64 stuff is a bit like that now.

I never got around to posting my top list. I'll give it a bash now - I'll go for a top 25.

1: Mother 3
2: The World Ends With You
3: Fallout 3
4: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
5: Undertale
6: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
7: Super Mario Galaxy
8: Dark Souls
9: Civilization V
10: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
11: Persona 4
12: Lost Odyssey
13: To The Moon
14: Dark Souls II
15: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
16: Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
17: Persona 3
18: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
19: Halo 3
20: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
21: Super Smash Bros Melee
22: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
23: Batman: Arkham Asylum
24: Street Fighter IV
25: Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time

RPG heavy, sure, but that's my favourite genre. There's a few games in there likely due to recency bias - Undertale, both MGS3 and MGS4, A Crack in Time - so we'll see if they slip out of my top 25 if I do this in a year's time.

Not sure about the rest of the N64's catalogue, but I wouldn't be surprised. The first sentence is definitely true.

I did my Top 25 but I then pressed the wrong button

I'm shocked by seeing Lightning Returns in Athrun's Top 10 over like every game ever especially over the Final Fantasy's.

Ma auld list:

Time to shift these about a bit.

1. Dark souls - This obviously stays top for me.
2. MH4U - this completely replaces 3U/tri as it damn near perfects the MH formula.
3. Super Metroid
4. Splatoon - The most fun I've had with a game this year.
5. Metroid Prime
6. Ghost Trick
7. Bloodborne
8. PES 2016
9. WWF No Mercy
10. Goldeneye 007 (N64)

I would love Drunka's Top 10ish but Jas's I wouldn't at all.

Good job it's my top ten then eh?

Yeah it is as mine and your tastes are completely different which is a good thing but like we were talking about on twitter about games this year, it shows from that 10 what you like where my Top 25 if i had posted the Top 3 were Mass Effect Trilogy, Metal Gear Solid The Legacy Collection and The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Limited Edition which are all more story driven games which similar to what has been said about in the random thoughts, my main thing is story where most of yours aren't well not to me part from Ghost Trick.

Bloodborne will likely be in my top 25 once I've played it.

No surprise that Dark Souls features in Jas's list, Drunka's list and mine too.

I was hoping DSII was on sale in my ASDA but we had none as I want to give it anther go the Soulslike genre bit not liked any of them, you know what happens I play Ni-Oh love it and all Souls fans hate it.

GNamer's top three games would probably be LoZWW, DS, and SMG (in inverse order).  The pattern suggests that I'd be relatively unimpressed with DS compared to the rest of you.

My top five are all free roamy worldy things, I notice; and my selection has wildly varying varying levels of story focus throughout, which interests me if no one else.

Last time I added them together & the Top 3 was:
1st Super Mario 64
2nd The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
3rd Xenoblade

But I think it would be a different three games

Aye, I've said many times before I'm quite happy for a game to put me into a world and let me do my own thing (I love the freedom of that approach) but I'm not totally against story driven games either as for example in 2012 season 1 of TWD was my favourite game that year.

I dunno if that would be representative of us all though, not now.  SM64's out of favour after having the harsh light of day shone on it, OoT isn't even the forum's favourite Zelda, and XC probably benefited from Athrun contributing to the thread, say, while Philps didn't (not to mention it fell out of Drunka's).

Speaking to Drunka, a question for the man if he wouldn't mind: removing all franchise restrictions, what would your top ten (or so) look like?
