1. Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
2. Maniac Mansion (NES)
3. Super Mario World (SNES)

7. Persona 4 Golden (PS Vita)
8. Ni No Kuni (PS3)
9. The Secret of Monkey Island (PC)
10. Final Fantasy XIV (PS4)

Do you still fight the same 4 enemy models throughout the entire game with the game forcing you to guess each weakness because they never make any damn sense?
Has the XP curve been improved? I remember being over 10 levels underleveled (going by the fact that the party members I recruited were about 10 levels above me.
How about itemization? Do you still need to grind shadows for an hour, because all your weapons are out of date by roughly 2 dungeons and said shadows will not drop the items you need to make the shopkeeper update his stock >.>
Is the pacing still broken resulting in 3 hours before any actual gameplay starts? And several consequetive hours of practically no interesting gameplay at several poritons of the game.

I might give golden a shot if they fixed these glaring issues. But Persona 4 for the PS2 was a 5/10 at best.

Quite the contrary actually. Metroid Prime is the greatest game I've never finished. It's a mistake that needs correcting.

This post is beyond hyperbolic, and it's so wrong on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin.

• Persona 4 often recycles enemy models. This is in fact an issue within Persona 4 Golden as well. The game explains this away in the story, but if some recycled models bother you as much, feel free to not play this game. Or any game, really, there is literally no game on the market that won't inevitably recycle the same enemy types (and lol@'4enemymodels')
• The EXP curve in Persona is not broken. It was never broken, not unless you were playing on the highest difficulty, where the point is that the experience and money yields are halved (while enemy HP is doubled). So if you're playing a game mode that flat out tells you the experience curve is balanced against you, and then you are complaining about the experience curve being broken, then that's your problem, not the game's. The game is otherwise fairly well balanced, and without going out of your way to go grinding, simply by only fighting the enemies who show up in your way, you are well equipped to take on the boss at the end of each dungeon.
  If you are talking about your Personae always being lower leveled than your enemies or your party members: well, yeah that is in fact the point. That's why you fuse higher leveled Personae.
• You actually don't need to go forging weapons at all, if you know what you re doing. Simply beat the after boss at the end of each dungeon, and you get the best weapon for each character (you also get some extra experience and courage stats. There, that's two of your problems solved in one go).
• I have nothing to say to you if you cannot appreciate Persona 4's storytelling, maybe it is simply not the game for you. Maybe VNs aren't your genre, but Persona 4 plots itself like a detective novel. It spends the first few hours of the game setting up the story and the suspects, before it hands over control to you. P4G does in fact give you more agency in the beginning, but the question is immaterial to begin with.
  As for 'long segments with no gameplay'- incorrect, there is never any section in P4/G where there is no gameplay. Unless your idea of gameplay is literally just the dungeon crawling, dismissing, for some reason, the entire social sim and VN aspects of the game- which form more than half the total amount of gameplay- then Persona 4 always has some gameplay or the other going on. And if you dislike the game's VN or social sim elements, well, then Persona 4 probably just isn't the game for you, and you stick to traditional MegaTen, which is all dungeon crawling, which is what you seem to want anyway.

Finally, the last 'Persona 4 for the PS2 was a 5/10 at best.' This had me laughing so hard, I actually wondered for a minute if this post wasn't just meant to be a parody, but then I realized, no, you are serious, and that's the sad part. There are a lot of games where what they do simply doesn't appeal to me- like Gran Turismo or The Walking Dead, but I still concede that they are quality games, and score them accordingly. The fact that you are, in spite of the game not being to your tastes, simply not willing to recognize that Persona 4 is an extremely well crafted game, and is objectively actually pretty damn great, is really sad on a lot of levels.

My top 10 changes every day, but today I feel like putting in the following

1. X-COM: UFO Defense
2. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
3. Guild Wars 1
4. Tactics Ogre: LUCT
5. WarCraft 3
6. StarCraft
7. Civilization 4
8. The Sims 2
9. Master of Magic
10. Rise of Nations (Thanks Charizard for recommending me this)

• In Nocturne, or hell any proper SMT that isnt persona, each enemy had its own model. I have nothing against the same enemy type being used, but in Persona 4. So many enemy different enemy types used the same model. Persona 4 did it to the point where I had to consider it unacceptable. I said 4 because I remember 4 models, that being the dice, the table, the ball with a tounge and the police officer with the key in the middle. I am not counting bosses in that, because each boss did have their own model.
• In a good Shin Megami Tensei game, it is near impossible to be underlevelled, if you do enter an area 5 levels below or less what the game balanced it for, you will gain such huge amounts of EXP you will hit level up after pretty much every battle. This was NOT the case for the PS2 verison of Persona 4 from what I noticed.
• The game was easy, but when it took over 30 minutes to defeat Shadow Teddie, because my characters barely scratched him despite buffs and debuffs, something was fundamentally wrong. On the bright side, Yukiko's weapon at the end of the first dungeon was nice. Barely did any damage to late game enemies, but that charm effect on it was really useful. That said, the rest of the weapons became obsolete before the upcoming dungeon was even finished, at least in the PS2 version.
• I never said Persona 4's storytelling was bad, I said that the beginning and during the summer there was some serious pacing issues, but I heard that Persona 4 Golden did add new events, so maybe that was fixed. Persona 4's storytelling did shine in some parts. My definitino of gameplay means interactivity that does not involve only pressing the A button to go to the next piece of dialogue. None of the things the player would say was of any meaning outside of the right choice which gave increased bonuses. Compare this to actual visual novels and adventure games, where there might not be a right choice but rather multiple choices which lead to different outcomes, which may be favorable depending on what hte player wants.

You are assuming that I gave it a 5/10 that on an objective level, but I didn't, that is on a personal/subjective level, on an objective level the game would be a 7/10. Great storytelling and a good concept let down by weak dungeon crawling sections and some questionable design choices. As a Life Sim, I would rather play Princess Maker 2, as a dungeon crawler I would rather play Nocturne.

This part is hokum

Great game. Incredible that Vita could pull something like that off... but what did you think of the final boss fight ?

I liked the final boss fight. Good use of the touch controls. Much easier to take down the General than the final guy in Uncharted 2. And I agree...One great looking game. I thought it was very underrated. But then again I actually bought the Vita because I wanted some more Uncharted.

While I do think the game was great the use of touch screen came of as unnecessary. I never used it to climb or fight or anything. I did use the gyroscope to balance, that was nice.

Not a fan of the final boss fight either... But it's not like other Uncharted games had much better boss fights.

I am gonna list it one game per franchise since Mario or Zelda might take up most of the list.

1.Super Mario World: The introduction of Yoshi and the amount of Secret Exits made it easy to pick it as the best Mario game.

2.Zelda the Wind Waker: Loved the artstyle while it wasn't perfect I loved the charm the game had and it just holds up so well today.

3.Resident Evil 4:Yes I have played the older games and whilst they were excellent RE4 just practically invented the over the shoulder view and smooth gameplay. It wasn't perfect but it had some cool moments. Shame it went downhill after this.

4.Metal Gear Solid 3: One series that I was skeptical about playing but after playing this the series just became godly to me. Amazing characters,brilliant boss battles and one of the best soundtracks around amazing.

5.Uncharted 2: This game turned Naughty Dog from just another Sony Developer to a brilliant developer. It corrected certain things like kicking out the SixAxis controls and just went flat out. The Train Section,The Plane Chase. The pacing was fantastic and multiplayer was a nice little extra too.

6.Sonic the Hedgehog 2: To me this was Sonics finest hour and while many argue Sonic 3 and Knuckles is better I felt number 2 was. New things introduced like the Spin Dash,Tails and a Bonus for collecting the Chaos Emeralds Super Sonic.

7.The Last of Us: To me if you own a PS3 or PS4 now and haven't played this game then run out and buy it and if you didn't like it something is wrong with you. The story has so many emotions and the interaction between characters is just amazing how they react to each other. Plus the gameplay is second to none.

8.Metroid Prime: The graphics,the atmosphere and the overall experience. The bosses were well designed and the puzzles and just the way things went like lava going Samus Visor.

9.Mass Effect 2:Without a doubt a game that certainly made playing the series worth it. While number 1 had a fairly good story the game felt a bit wonky but the sequel fixed this. A bigger set of team mates to choose from,Loyalty Missions and the chance to charm someone made this an instant winner for me.

10.Shadow of the Colossous: Whilst the worlds empty the Colossous were not it was like a game of boss battles and what made them good is none of them were ever the same. Air,Water,Sand you name it there was a colossous using certain areas to fight you. Every one was a puzzle. Again a excellent soundtrack as well.
