EDGE Presents: The 100 Greatest Video Games of All Time

@i_p_daily: While I fully agree that edges list is overall horrible, so is the idea that a games score should somehow = it's placement on a list. With that attitude Super Monaco GP on the sega Genesis should be near the top of the list because it got a lot of perfect 10s when it came out. One game out scoring another doesn't automatically make it better.

@i_p_daily: Xbone games are so shit they aren't even good enough to make it on shitty top 100 lists ?

botw top? hahahahahahaahahahaha

MGSV but no 4 or 3? not even the original?

what is EDGE?

I know scores are pretty useless for you and me, but these guys are a publication, and by reviewing games they are asking the public to trust their reviews and buy their magazine, so when they give a game an 8 and put it at 36 on the greatest games of all time list while leaving other higher scoring games off the list is stupid, and makes their reviews a joke.

@knight-k: Well i can agree on that.

Thanks:) Got the console today, unfortunately Zelda was sold out, so wont get to play the before some time next week:( It came bundled with Maria+rabbits though and played that for a few hours and had a ton of fun so fare!

How do you add people on Switch?:)

Ahhhh. You should get it digitally :P Mario XCOM is great, though, glad you are liking that :)

To access your profile, you go to the little circle with your profile icon in the top left on the home menu, where you can see your profile with games played (this is where you can see your Friend Code), Friend List, suggested Friends, and the option to add Friends. You want to go there, go to the 'Friend Code' option, and add me from there.

This is mine: SW-2801-3421-1729

Thanks will check that out when i turn it on next(working atm...). Had it ordered through a webshop before i realised you could buy it digitally, but on the bright side it was around 15$ cheaper in the retail store, so a penny saved is a penny earned i guess:)

A quick question btw. do the joycons charge up when they are attached to the screen(you know when you take it on the go) or do you have to have in the docking station before they charge? Also approximately for how long can they go on before they need to recharged? Going on a holiday soon and kind of want to bring the Switch so i can play Zelda at Bali:)

Ah, good job there on the savings haha.

Joycons do charge when they are attached to the Switch, regardless of whether or not the Switch is in the dock (albeit when the Switch hits its last 15% of battery, it will stop supplying power to the Joycons). Their battery life is about 20 hours, so you should be able to keep them going for a while.

Have fun in Bali, and pay more attention to where you are than to Zelda :P

Thanks for the clarification:) And yeah its my honeymoon, so pretty sure the wife(still so weird to call her that!) will be sure to let me know if i pay to much attention to Zelda instead of her:)

Congrats on the marriage too!

Definitely pay more attention to your wife haha.

How on earth is Pokemon not on that list? A game that captured generations doesn't make it to the list.

Worst list i ever saw like ever ...

This is probably made but some 20-25 years old guy with zero experience in video games in late 80s / to late 90s or even later.

Where is Super mario 64 , THE revolution in platformers let alone in 3D games period ? That game is easily a top 10 game. Original Half life ? So many other games comes in my mind ...

Ultra SF4 in top 20 and not SF2 world warriors that made THE revolution in fighting genre ? lol I can talk for days about this list.

2 Dark souls like games in top 10 ? Come on. I get bloodborne is not technically a dark souls game but please !! Its a dark souls game in heart.

Destiny 36th !! hahahaha ! Who made this list !! They cant be more than 20.

Titanfall 2 54th place of all time !!

Daaamn

As usual my tastes must be different than others. 2 of my least favorite are number 2 and 3.

3. Grand Theft Auto V

2. Dark Souls

As for number 1. I really like BOTW, but with all the great games over the years, I wouldn't say it is the best of all time. But would say it is the best Zelda game. My favorite of all time is The Witcher 3. IMO more depth, more variety, better... more diverse action, good story (Zelda story for me is not that great), and great graphics to complement the gameplay.

Edit: I just noticed they have Spelunky way ahead of The Witcher III. If the reviewers were told they had to pick one game to play for the rest of their lives, would they really pick Spelunky?

"This list sucks because I disagree with it," said everyone in this thread, ever.
