Well it has seemingly been the forum darling for the last ten years, so...

It's alright, I suppose...

Apologies for the necrobump. It just struck me earlier that it was a shame games like The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne came out a bit late to feature in people's votes for this list, as I can see them doing well in our 2015 forum awards. Out of interest, are there any games that people are voting for in the 2015 awards that they would have put on their existing top 20 votes for this all time list if they had come out sooner? I could probably whack the changes in the spreadsheet to see what effect it would have had...

See, I'm not sure that's a bad thing; if anything, if I were to do something like this I'd probably exclude all games that had come out in the 12 months prior to the list, as I do think that adding a bit of critical distance can be helpful - it's easy to get swept up in your excitement for a game that you've played and loved recently (or indeed to gain an appreciation for something on a later replay).

 

Though, then again, as time goes on you can get the opposite problem, where historic focus and consensus can drive more personal favourites out of people's lists, leading to increasing homogeneity of results over time, so maybe that's not such a great thing.

So I think what you're saying is, there are pros and cons, but they both cancel each other out. So people should probably do it anyway for shits and giggles.

I found RE4 boring. I have no idea what people see in it. Same with the Zelda games I've played.

[Benny]

Get out.

[Wiper]

That's the most sense I've seen posted on here in a good while.

On the other hand, I absolutely adored trading between Barnard's Star and Sol on Frontier for days on end, and objectively I reckon that's about as boring as you can get in games. So I'm not necessarily to be trusted.

Perfect Dark at 68? Far Cry 2 and Dead Rising not in the list?

 

Fucking casuals.

[Benny]

Is that the sequel to the bootleg erotic release?
