EDGE Presents: The 100 Greatest Video Games of All Time

Legit question (haven't played TPP, so I actually am curious here)- if the game is superlatively good in spite of being unfinished or having cut content, does it really matter?

I dont think it gets a free pass, but damn its a great game. It doesnt deserve the top spot and I still like 3 as a whole better, but to say it doesnt deserve a spot high because of some corporate bs sounds kinda like a cop out. Again even though its unfinished, its better than a lot of games, probably my personal favorite open world game

One of the worst ranking i've seen in a while.

I don't think it's "superlatively" good. It's a good game that has some serious flaws.

To your question, I will repeat what I said to Aigis. (Mitsuru best waifu)

Remember in what thread we are, we're talking about the 100 greatest games of all time. Edge dared to put it in the top 20... If it comes to ranking the best games of all time, standards should be very high.

But maybe they feel that in spite of its serious flaws, it does qualify as a Top 20 of all time game. I mean, to repeat what I always say, every game has flaws, but its the cohesive, holistic overall experience that should matter in terms of how you assess and evaluate it. Just imo.

I love The Last of Us. Well deserve!

Ugh. So many spoiler tags. I guess I'll never know what that lists consists of because I'm clicking on each one of those. So annoying.

I understand your reasoning. It depends on what standards you uphold.

Yeah, these lists are ultimately pretty subjective

Just hover your mouse over them :P

@charizard1605: I'm using my iPad but even still it's annoying and I'd rather just be able to see them all at once or even at least most of them. I can see putting the top five in spoiler tags for a little mystery but having them all like that is just overkill.

A Nintendo fan trying to hide behind a Playstation avatar will never cease to amuse me.

But I am a PlayStation fan and a Nintendo fan. Actually, i am a fan of good games, and wherever they show up. That, however, is a concept that will always elude fanboys.

So since you don't own an XB1 you're saying that the XB1 has no good games. Well if you can't find a good game on XB1 then that's not because there isn't any, it's because you have shit taste :)

Or it could be you have shit taste and there are indeed no good games on XB1.

Not a single Xbone game made the list lol.

Shush child, you called it a shitty list, so anything you try to convey after it is BS because of that statement. The XB1 shares almost the same library as your current girlfriend (PS4) so it then must also have no good games.

The argument I had with chaz was about good games where this list is about 100 greatest games, which you and everyone else in this thread agrees is shit.

Some of the games on your currently playing list are multiplats and are also on the XB1, so by saying XB1 has no good games means you openly admit to having shit taste yourself by playing these not good games lol.

As for no XB1 games making the list, um there is multiplats on that list that are on the XB1 lol

Anything else I can rekt you on?

? What a meltdown.

Alright, I will fix that this evening!

@charizard1605: Cool. Thanks.

I did a thing with the OP. :O

These lists always make me laugh. This one is actually closer to something I would make since it doesn't rely as much on the older titles, but there are still some eyebrows being raised (especially if this is put together by a committee.)

@Archangel3371 Fixed some of the issues that you were having with the OP. My iPhone worked well with the new spoiler blocks. Hopefully this helps you!

@zassimick: Awesome. Makes it much more manageable now. Thanks.

fuk u zass

@charizard1605: fite me 1v1 irl

Breath of the Wild isn't deserving of No. 1.

Oh it is on

Wow... The Last Guardian over Shadow of the Colossus? I love them both, but Colossus was just a better game overall. And yeah... not even addressing Breath of the Wild...

GTA V is too low.

While there's certainly a lot of excellent games that certainly deserve to be on that list there are also a number of very glaring omissions as well. I find it too difficult to imagine how any top 100 list doesn't include Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VI and VII, Contra III, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game, Super Castlevania IV, and Dragon Quest VIII. There's probably others I'm forgetting as well.

@metalboi: @charizard1605: @Desmonic:

One man army that's gonna have to fight off these peeps till the end of time. I'll give no quarter. Your games are no match for mine.

The Witcher 3 ranked 56? Yea this list is bogus.

Word, that's way too high.

kek

What?No games from SNES?Genesis?Some games I agree with,a majority I haven't played.So I can't judge.

LttP, Super Metroid, Mario World, Earthbound are all SNES games...

Still surprised to see Battlefield 4 and not Battlefield 1?

@charizard1605: My bad.Didn't reread the list.Looked to fast.Sorry.

Never played MGSV myself, but something tells me MGSV isn't one of the bigger offenders when it comes to being "unfinished." That and from what I hear the game gives you plenty of content and shit to do along with a variety of ways to go about doing said things (thus helping replay value). Kind of makes the whole unfinished complaint seem kinda moot.

kinda sad theres no mafia in the list. easily in my top 5 games of all time.

Oh geez, one more of these. I guess any publication or site must have one of these each year now so, yeah...

edit: And after seeing it its just a terrible, terrible list when they put The Last Guardian and ICO above SotC. SotC is the best Team ICO game, POINT. Cant say anything about the Nº1 cause I havent played it but I'm sure its a really good game that I most probably wont ever play

@zassimick: Your games suck though :v

The funny thing about these threads, people criticize these type of lists, yet they can barely do a top 20 list themselves lol let alone a top 100 XD. Maybe if people actually spent less time b******* about games and more time playing them.

Oh don't get me wrong I understand why they review like that, and its good to have a slightly different take to the review process. But the fact Trials Fusion and DESTINY... THATS RIGHT, DESTINY are rated as better games than TW3 is just absurd no matter which way you look at it

To be fair, I haven't played Destiny or Trials Fusion, so I can't say whether they deserve to be at the spots they're at. But was just explaining why certain games might be rated higher and lower because of their strong focus on gameplay mechanics. Keeping their mechanics-oriented criteria in mind, it kind of makes sense why TW3 is in the 50s, why Overwatch is rated higher than it, why MGSV is in the top 20 while the earlier story-focused MGS games are snubbed, why FFXII is listed while the other story-focused FF games are snubbed, why the top 5 is dominated by BOTW and Soulsborne, etc.

However, the thing I find most disappointing about the list is its strong modern bias. There are very few classic games on the list. As a list of top 100 modern games, I don't think it's a bad list. But I just can't see it as a list of top 100 games "of all time" when the list is mostly limited to just the last several generations, especially with almost the entire 2D era of gaming getting snubbed.

I've played both a decent amount of time to confidently say they do not haha. Yeah can we absolutely agree there is a modern bias. If they had of said "Top 100 games of the last 20 years" then the list would have a lot more merit

Good ol quack, has no counter argument so resorts to his usual gifs lol.

You really need to change it up man, everyone knows your routine when you've been defeated, it's embarrassing. Take what little dignity you have left and run little man :)

But a fanboy of what??? it's not good games I know that much :P

@i_p_daily: ? Your butthurt essay replies are hilarious. It's obvious your ass is hurting because you can't own me on any level lol. My PC is more powerful than your Xbone ever will be and my PS4 has more games than you'll ever get on your FlopBoneX.

? Xbone flop games don't make any top 10 or top 100 lists. You're wasting your energy getting mad at me, it would be more efficient for you to sit in a corner and sob lol.

Essay lol.

Flop, here, flop there, quack is flopping everywhere.

I do have one serious question for you though quack. When you make love to your PS4 do you force your PC to watch?

You act like the PS4 is your wife and the PC is your side bitch lol.

But he's right though.

Where are the Xbox One games?

Respond with real arguments.

He can't. He's been completely destroyed and can't even make any arguments, it's pathetic lol.

? Instead of getting mad at MS for not releasing any games he's crying and writing butthurt essays on SW.

Here's your argument, you can't call the list shitty, and a joke and then turn around and act like the list has some credibility because there's no XB1 games on the list. The joke is on you 2 clowns. These lists are not definitive no list ever is.

But I agree with you 2 clowns, the list is shitty & a joke, but not because there's no XB1 games on it, but because there's hardly and Sega made stuff on there, and the ones that are, hardly deserve their spot.

If the list had X1 games on it it wouldn't be a joke but a complete joke. REKT!

Of course these lists are subjective and never definitive. Yet EDGE is a western magazine and doesn't even include any Xbone games in their joke list...I mean how sh*tty must EDGE find Xbone games?

Is that like a joke for getting banned, and creating an alt to become a complete joke.

Ok after a little searching I found this and then this.

So how does a game scoring an 8/10 (Destiny) on Edge get to number 36/100 and yet Forza Horizon 3 scores a 9/10 from the same magazine not make the list? I also saw that there is a game on the XB1 that they haven't even reviewed a high scoring XB1 game in Forza Horizon 2.

This list is just a clickbait article to get people talking about Edge and boy it sure did work.

Well, you're right it's a clickbait sh*t list with or without Xbone games.
