G4: Top 100 Games of All Time.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="Arach666"]

It´s not a matter of higher standards,it was a matter of competition on the platform,on the PC there were plenty of top quality FPS´s by that time,but on consoles,none really,so it´s only natural. If instead of being a N64 only title G64 was on the PC,the reception wouldn´t be as vibrant as it was tbh,because on that platform the competition was way fiercer than on the N64(or any console).

Another thing that further proves the point(since you mentioned GS scores) is that,even with a 9.8 G64 didn´t win GOTY(that went to Total Anihilation) nor even the best FPS,because that went to Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2,and that one score a 8.9,so you can see the whole point I was making right there.

[QUOTE="Michael0134567"][QUOTE="mitu123"] That game is amazing, should be a 9.0-9.5 at least, stupid GS!

mitu123

No Metal Gear Solid, no Resident Evil and no Final Fantasy means that this list sucks. Mario and Zelda deserve to be on there, but overall the list is pretty bad.

This looks more like an influencial list than a best game list.

No FF7 in the top 10? It's fine to not like it but to ignore what it did for gaming, Sony in particular, is woefully inept.

ActicEdge

Agreed, but Bioshock still doesn't make sense. Good game, top 10 of all time in any respect.... I think not.

Jedi Academy was better but yeah i agree.

Homeworld and Freelancer are two other horribly underrated games that rarely show up on these lists.

My fovorite part was Souljah Boy. His thoughtful views and colorful opinions really accentuated the show in my opinion.

>GoldenEye was far superior to any FPS the PC had back in 1997.

oh god this is funny, you really think Goldeneye was anywhere near as good as Unreal/Quake1/2?

HaloinventedFPS

As for Quake 1 & 2, they both paled in comparison to GoldenEye, IMO.

You've got it all wrong. GameSpot never even started handing out any console awards until 1998. Up until then, their awards were exclusively focused on PC games. In other words, GoldenEye wasn't even eligible for the GameSpot awards. If console games were eligible back in 1997, then GoldenEye would have easily won FPS of the Year, as well as facing-off with FF VII for overall GOTY.

I feel like they always confuse influence and quality in these lists.

Asteroids is ass by todays standards. It was very very very influential in both the economics and in the million games that copied it, but it's not too great now adays.

TopTierHustler

Actually, Space Invaders and Pac-Man were far more influential than Asteroids. In addition, Space Invaders and Pac-Man have also aged better as well, as they're still very much accessible to this very day. In terms of both influence and how well they've aged, it should have been Space Invaders or Pac-Man on the list instead of Asteroids. Or alternatively, it should have instead been Galaga, which is often considered the best single-screen (non-scrolling) shooter of all time, though maybe not quite as influential as Space Invaders, Asteroids, or Pac-Man.

"definitive"? No list is definitive. Its all personal opinion. Saying this I'm glad to see SotC in the top10. My fav game ever

These topics always amuse me, not because of the list but because of the responses.. Its always the same thing, crying that either their game didn't get picked high enough (or wasn't on the list all together) or that a game they hate is on the list or is too high.. sSubZerOo
