to name a few: (limiting myself to 1 entry per franchise) Worms Battle Islands Trainz Simulator 2006 The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game Skylanders Trap Team Angry Birds Seasons LittleBigPlanet 2
Actually, we'd like to know what your favorite games of all time are. I clicked off the video when I realized this was just a rehashed list of games from Metacritic

I will say, players were NOT happy at first for Wind Wakers graphics. It was a big deal as before Wind Waker was announced, a graphics demo at E3 showed a much different, super dark and gritty Zelda game was shown. This would go on to be the template for Twilight Princess, but that would be years after Wind Waker. Obviously Waker would be loved still once people got their hands on it, but leading up to release MOST people were hesitent.
Just wanted to say that I love you three and I very much appreciate what you do and what your whole team puts into these long~form videos. I watch them over and over again. Cheers from a rando American!
It's funny that even a list that's stated at the start to be ranked solely based on average review score still has people arguing in the comments about the rankings being 'wrong'. Like yeah, opinions of a game are subjective, but in the context of this list the metric being used is irrefutable since it's being sorted by numbers.
Well, it's just two websites that collect some reviews. It's definitely not all reviews that were made in the world. You also have to acknowedge that a lot of games from the 80s and 90s are not as much represented on metacritic. Back then videogamecritis mostly started just from scratch and were quite unprofessional as well. And then you also have the situations were gamescame out broke, got patched and people loved them. But they had bad reviews because of early reviews. So in my opinion it's not just numbers. ;-)
@@PaulPararnoid All of what you said is irrelevant in the context of this list. The review scores they used were all sorted and ranked based on that. That's literally it. No different from if they'd sorted the games alphabetically instead. Would that still get people arguing about the list being 'wrong'?
@@qactustick Of course, you are right in that way. They are describing their methods very clearly and so you can't argue that the list is wrong. :-) I just ment it in the view that this is the ultimate list what defines the best game and that you can't argue about that. But yeah, I guess a list like this will anyway never exist. =)
So the title should be changed in that case. Plus critic were very pro-playstation in the Saturn era, an era upon which if a game did not includes polygon, you would have gotten a 6 out of 10 from the start on any review. But today today, we don't care if it's 2d as long as it's good and the games have qualities. Critic are often a product of their time and are too often based on comparaison instead of for what the game really is about, which can make them totally biased. All I say is critic were biased back then and titling "101 best video game of all time" and then base it on biased and outdated critic score AFTERWARD is misleading, therefore there is place for argumentation what ever you like that or not.
Disco Elysium at 11, personally screams criminal, but thank you so much for putting it so high. It's a deeply personal game that means so so much. 11 is more than enough to make me delighted. Seriously if you haven't played it, play it.
Just finished it this year. It beat bloodborne as my favorite game of all time. It fundamentally changed how I think. My wife even played it and got the cryptid ending and she hates gaming lol
It's not exactly earth shattering having OoT as 1 but you really had to be there to experience it. For me personally it's SF2 but OoT, alongside FF7, at the time were absolutely mind blowing. Like you could not fathom this depth of a game at the time, it was fucking amazing. By now I'm sure it's quaint and novel but my God going from 16-bit to that? Good lord.
I'm guessing now before it even starts its Ocarina. If not, then Breath. Critics love their Zelda I wonder which PUBLISHER/Developer had the most games on here? Nintendo? Sony? Rockstar? Kojima? Hard to beat Nintendo in the end
@@icravedeath.1200 your name makes a joke about death and that is okay? Suicidal ideation is funny but making a clearly sarcastic joke about a video game isn't?
Ocarina of Time: Ship of Harkanine Majora's Mask: Zelda 64 Recompiled / 2 Ship 2 Harkanine Super Mario 64: SM64 Plus Sonic 3: Sonic 3 AIR Link to the Past: Zelda3 Goldeneye 007: Project Bean (X360 Arcade) (I can't recommend this one highly enough!) & AM2R for good measure!
I love TripleJump, but I really disagree with this countdown. I feel that the title is a massive misrepresentation of the video game industry as a whole. It should be "101 Most Highest Rated Games of All Time".I love
They literally explain right away that they are going to be controversial. Best is still a subjective term, "highest rated" "best rating"... "Best"... Same thing, depending how you want to define it.
10 predictions in no order: Paper Mario TTYD Baldur’s Gate 3 Shadow of the Colossus Halo: Combat Evolved The Sims Portal Def Jam: FFNY Guitar Hero 3 God of War 3 GTA: San Andreas (though they’ll probably put V)
I don't agree with everything Ashton says, but I'll give you props for the Madden NFL 2002 comment of "One critic even said even players who weren't massive American football fans would have a great time.." (with the game) and Ashton basically saying "yeah we're not sure about that.." is absolutely spot on. Over my lengthy video game playing life I have found every single American football game to be 100% unplayable. Without exception.
I think it comes down to interest. I'm american but I don't care for football (of any variety) so I don't get into these games, but my cousin loves American football and I've tried to play madden with him on a dozen occasions. Same with fifa. Can't get into it because I don't care about fútbol.
I honestly did not expect Ocarina of Time to take the top spot but if the Big N ever wants to drive the video game economy then their Switch 2 should have a remastered version of OoT as a debut game.
I don't think review scores is the only metric, nor do I think one body of reviewers is "objectively" better than another. Rating videogames is a highly subjective thing, as it is for any artistic entertainment media. Here's some things to consider: 1. Longevity 2. Legacy 3. Accessibility 4. Downloads 5. Sales 6. Acclaim 7. Entertainment 8. Influence 9. Concept 10. Content
ocarna of time is a good choice. critic's didn't colossally mess up lists like this are kind of futile, but fun. scores are just that, scores, and not a review. i wish people didn't abide so much by them
Another ALL TIME list that ignores the Spectrum/Commodore era where GAMEPLAY was EVERYTHING rather than the `reflections in puddles` current gen! Not entirely accurate titled ALL TIME as Spectrum/Commodore era pre-dates scoring. A nod to this era mentioning a few top games would help.
@@lpnp9477 but people still act like OoT is the greatest game ever made. Its score was over done for its time too, especially when the water temple exists.
There's a LOT of excellent games missing. It's a shame they didn't receive more positive scores/reviews from critics. So here are 25 more games that deserve to be on a list like this (in alphabetical order & one game per franchise): Advance Wars Assassin's Creed II Beyond Good & Evil Bully (or Canis Canem Edit if you want to get PAL about this) Def Jam: Fight for New York Deus Ex Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Crash Team Racing EarthBound (or Mother 2 if you want to get Japanese about this) Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem Far Cry 3 Ghost of Tsushima Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga Marvel's Spider-Man Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne NBA Street Vol. 2 Okami Silent Hill 2 Suikoden II Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins The Legend of Dragoon The Warriors TimeSplitters 2 Xenogears
Well at the very least, MGS2 got some credit for being the best Metal Gear title, instead of Snake Eater being just so overrated. Also, “git gud” came from MGS4’s online mode, Metal Gear Online.
i'm very surprised that only one blizzard title made the list and it was diablo 1. that's... weird. i wouldn't have even thought that was in the top 5 of blizzard titles, but there you go.
Without even starting the list you know that Ocarina of Time is going to be number 1 cus it’s textbook knowledge that they hold the rdd Ed cord for highest rayed game on Metacritic.
@@RockChunk "the ends support the say" I think you meant the ends justify the means, but that is only something you say when you do something bad to accomplish something good. Your words suck, and your grammar and spelling are Reader Rabbit level 1 bad. Don't write comments if you can't make sense. Go to school instead of watching RU-vid. Or stop watching RU-vid at school instead of learning.
I picked up godfall mostly because at the launch of the PS5 there were not many games to choose from. The game looked great. Combat was fine. But my lord if there was a story i can't remember it lol. If they could have popped spme jrpg elements in that game we could have had it all 😂
I love these lists, but I feel including the remasters cheapened it... a remaster adding a new visual interface and updated graphics does not make it a new game (imo)
