Nexus Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) This is an attempt to find out what games y'all rate highly. It might not work, but we'll see. Basic premise is this: Choose your top 15 games. Any platform. Then rank them, from 15 to 1, number 1 being the best, obviously. Post that list here. Then, after a couple of weeks, I'll take all the lists, and collate them into one big ranking countdown. Rules: Each individual game counts as one. So, no "Final Fantasy" to encompass all of the games. You have to separate each one out. That's about the only rule, really. If you want to put some form of comment by each one, even better. If you'd prefer it to be more secret, PM me your list, and I'll do it secretly, and then you will get to guess the countdown yourselves rather than work it out along with me. Which do you all prefer? But yes, send me your top 15 games of all time. Edited May 10, 2011 by Nexus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 What do you want the rule to be on the same game on multiple platforms? Most of the time I don't think it should make a difference (like RDR on PS3 or 360), but for instance I find Monday Night Combat on XBLA to be much different from Monday Night Combat on PC. *Edit* - Also there are games like Splinter Cell: Double Agent, and Burnout Revenge that released both on Gen 6 and Gen 7 consoles, but the Gen 6 and Gen 7 versions were ENTIRELY different from each other.

Nexus Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 No idea. It's never been a problem before. If you want to specify the version for one or two games, fair enough, but in general it doesn't matter (eg RDR or GTA4). Whatever you think is best when you write your list.

Hot Heart Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 The Burnout Revenge that I played on Xbox was not entirely different to the Burnout Revenge I played on 360 Plus, with enough people contributing I don't think the differences will really matter come the final 15.

Nexus Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Well the advantage of having them all posted here is you can edit as much as you want up until the deadline. Which, incidentally, will be two weeks today, 20th April 2011. Probably at noon GMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 The Burnout Revenge that I played on Xbox was not entirely different to the Burnout Revenge I played on 360 Yeah, I realized I'm confusing Burnout with some other game, but I can't figure out which one (possibly one I made up). It's still true for Splinter Cell, though. *Edit* - Also, it's the final 50 (or 100), not 15. If it were 15 I would agree with you, but with 50/100 it could make a difference.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Man, that was painful. Many fantastic games were cut. I would like to throw out honorable mentions specifically to Starsiege: Tribes, Rise of Nations, and Advance Wars, among many others.

Yeah, not sure how I missed that. Considering it's the title and all. Either way, I doubt it'll make a great deal of difference. I'm gonna have to do a lot of thinking about mine. I still need to do my 3x3 influences thing too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicariousShaner Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Chewy, I've heard the Lost Precurser legacy was a pretty bad game, especially compared to the rest of the Jak series. Surprised Madden didn't make it in anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal Legend I'm surprised that's so low on your list. Had to add Rise of Nations, awesome game! \m/ \m/ Also, yeah, I was surprised too at how low Brutal Legend is on my list, but I think those other games deserve to be above it, especially considering some of the changes I would like on Brutal Legend's gameplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised Madden didn't make it in anywhere. I've never once heard anyone call the first Jak and Daxter bad and if anything I've heard the opposite from most people in regards to its place in the series. Though for me it's 3,1,2.

VicariousShaner Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Sorry about that. I was thinking of the fourth game in the series, I got them confused because most people refer to it as Jak 1, or Jak And Daxter. Personally, the first one was my least favorite of the series, I never thought that "spend hours searching every nook and cranny for orbs so you can go to a new area to do the same thing" as very much fun. Of course, I didn't grow up on Mario 64, so I may be missing out on the collectathon nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'm guessing you're not a completist in other games either? Anyways, I think it's weird that you didn't recognize the full title of Jak 1 if you've played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I think it's weird that you didn't recognize the full title of Jak 1 if you've played it. I didn't give it much of a chance, I never actually finished it because of how boring it was. Or this could be a giant conspiracy, either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hmmmm... I think Jak starts out sort of boring then it gets pretty awesome after the lava boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'll have to think long and hard to make up my Top 15. I've played waaaay too many games to be able to whittle it down to such a small number and ranking them is even harder. I have a feeling my list will look more modern than it really should and I'll probably leave out titles that I should have put in. Just off the top of my head, I can see a Total War game making it in....probably Rome....wait, no....most definitely Rome....uhhh, I have to include 2142 in there too, probably CoD4 as well....Third Strike is a certainty! Damn, this is going to be tough. Great idea though, I can't wait to see the final list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling my list will look more modern than it really should and I'll probably leave out titles that I should have put in. Yeah, I just went through the games in my library on my Raptr profile. Though I know that library is missing some of the much older titles I used to play (like NES and Genesis), I'm pretty sure I've added all the ones that would deserve a place on this list. The hard part was narrowing my list of about 30-35 games I thought might deserve a place down to the 15 that I was allotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
