Great games on that list. But I can't say I agree with the list.

Yeah, it doesn't even include the greatest game of the generation, The Witcher 3. With an expansive world, dripping with atmosphere, a game hasn't told as exquisite a story as this before. Never before have I seen such attention to detail in every aspect. CD Projekt Red really needs to be commended for every artistic decision within this godsend of a game. The DLC alone should be on this list, and in the top 10 if you ask me. I've bought the game 3 times on the PS4 just to show my support for this developer, who deserves nothing but absolute praise for this fantastic instalment in The Witcher series. Historians will look back at this game as the first true reappearance of God in the modern age.

I feel like you've been holding that one in for a while

lol what do you mean

I mean we all know Gator loves TW3, and that response had so much effort and detail put into it that I suspiciously believe that you've had that typed up for a while and have just been looking for an excuse to finally post it

No I just typed it now lmao

if it was premeditated I would have put a lot more effort and refinement into it

Oh

Dunno, just sounded like you've been wanting to say it for a while lol

Yeah, this list isn't that good. Where's Baldur's Gate? Or Icewind Dale? Neverwinter, Planescape. At least one of them... If they're too old for them put Divinity Original Sin or Pillars of Eternity. It feels as if all they did was pick a bunch of good games, mostly newer, and threw a list together. This is a bad list now that I've really sat and looked at it.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
What a travesty. Its just a list of some guys personal favorite games.

Regarding my own top x list, i could barely name 5 in order.

Mario 64 is not better than Majora's Mask. Halo 3 is not even top 2 Halo game.

Majora's Mask and Halo 2 should be #1 and #2.

I didn't even notice that. Being completely serious here, all jokes aside... How the fuck is The Witcher 3 not at the least, SOMEWHERE on this list?


I really have no clue, I don't even like the game and I'm baffled it's not on there, especially with its obvious preference for newer games.
No. 56

Who the fuck cares. This is like if some guy on a forum says what his favorite 100 games are. Am I missing something or what?
if someone writes for a gaming publication, your job is to have professional opinions on video games

the same can't be said of that random person

The PvP is shit and estus is gone.

At least Dark Souls 1 has the glitches to make it's PvP (ironicly) less broken.

Dark Souls 2 is shit outside of PVP and Dark Souls 3 is just shit

100 games isn't a lot. I have 150 games on my PS4 alone heh. Not that I have nearly as much time to play them anymore, but still. I'm 21. Been playing games since I was 5. A lot of you are older than me and you're telling me in all your years of gaming you haven't played 100 games?

Fair enough. I can actually say I've completed almost all the games I've played. But there's quite a few I haven't.

Easy, if I buy a game, I know I'm gonna like it. Now I have been disappointed. But I've never regretted a purchase and dreaded to play the game. There are quite a few free games I slogged through though. Just because. Last year, I barely bought any games, or this year. I'm getting Destiny 2(yeah yeah, shit talk all you want), MAYBE Shadow of War since I liked Shadow of Mordor. And I also bought Pillars of Eternity. I played a good bit of it at a friends house but never bought it myself, until now.
