Decent list if it weren't for God of War III and MGS4. I haven't played Infamous or Crysis (played the demo a ton), so I can't comment. My list would probably have NIER, Dark Souls, Prince of Persia 2008, Mirror's Edge, Okami, Forza Motorsport 3/4, Odin Sphere, Dead Rising, Shadow of the Colossus and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (the last two were technically out after the DS, which to some was the start of the 7th gen). And if I'm not allowed the last two, then I'll throw in Vanquish and Bayonetta.

Look at you not being mainstream. So cool.

But I disagree with that list.

Ok, that's filth. A better top 10:

(in no particlar order, just off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm missing some)

Uncharted 2

Mass Effect

Super Mario Galaxy

Wii Sports

Batman: Arkham

Asylum Portal

Assassin's Creed 2

Metal Gear Solid 4

Skyrim

Dragon Age

Halo Reach/3 (Whichever you prefer!)

jg4xchamp

This...pretty much defines the gen. Replace DA with Bioshock maybe, but overall this list has this gen down-packed. Not the opinionated list the OP created.

lolwhat? How is that list any less opinionated? Because a few of those games were capable of winning a popularity contest? Admittedly some of em are truly fantastic games(Galaxy for instance), but nothing about it is any less opinionated than what shake listed. Lists by design and any discussion about what games defined a definition will be opinionated. That's such a basic concept

I agree with you 99%... but seriously, who the fvck thinks NIER is the best game of the gen? There's opinion, and then there's madness... and then there's Sparta....

It would be impossible to create a list that people agree on. It's all personal preference.

[QUOTE="ispeakfact"]I've taken it upon myself to correct tc's list. Though it was pretty close, there were some errors. Here is the true list, because...after all...I speak fact. :cool: 1. Demons Souls 2. MGS 4 3. Uncharted 2 4. God of War 3 5. Infamous 6. Infamous 2 7. Uncharted 3 8. Journey 9. Starhawk 10. Little Big Planet 2 With honorable mentions to Vanquish. Carry on sw, for I have spoken. :cool:

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]How about next time you post a system wars thread, you add a link to a reputable source to back up what you say. Or break some relevant news. Or add a poll where every answer isn't yes or maybe. Or pose a question that actually inspires discussion. Or maybe just talk about anything other than your own opinion on some random game that is old news by the time your thread comes out. Post something that doesn't just make everyone groan and roll there eyes when they see it.

If you're 9000 posts in and you think it's ok to post with the exact same schtick every thread, the same one used by low level trolls, then I have to assume there is no hope for any decent thread from you ever.

Vaasman

I don't take message boards seriously brah. Maybe you shouldn't either. Much less butthurt that way.

It's hilarious that you think I care anymore than you do as the one who keeps creating threads, I just hope for a day when you can post something that isn't horrible.

You cared enough to come in here and whine.

Whoa hold up there, Sparky. I never said Haze or Lair were some of the best games this gen. Exclusives yes, but that doesn't make them the best. This is the definitive list, and only the best games this gen deserve to be on it.

I wouldn't disagree that Shake's list is crap, but at the same time I wouldn't even consider putting Dragon Age or Mass Effect in my own. Admittedly not as insulting as some of the stuff in his list, but surely not something to and say "yep, this was one of the 10 best games I played this gen"

They are all ps3 games, true. But this is the best of gen list, and I'm just going by what the facts are, because, well, I speak fact of course. And ps3 games just happen to be the best this gen. :cool: Edit: silly me, I have to amend my list, as I forgot Killzone 2. I'll swap it in Uncharted 3's place.

Maybe I should go over what I meant

When I look over this gen, of course I'll think of my favorite games (derp) . And sure, this list is opinioniated(slightly). But when you think of the best of this gen, you're going to want to think of games that truly show you want this gen can offer. Not just awesome games , games that conver " Hey, can you do this on a PS2/360/Wii?"

That's what I meant , didn't mean to sound like a douche.

Even sticking with PS3 exclusives. Uncharted 1, 3D Dot Game Heroes and possibly one of the Motorstorms/Gran Turismo 5 should be ahead of Starhawk

Fallout 3 was first, hence why it's listed. Same reason why Gears of War 1 and Galaxy 1 is listed, and not their followups.

And New Vegas is much better than F03, everyone knows that.

I haven't played 3 and I know New Vegas is better. His list could also do without Gears and UC2. Generic TPS's are generic. MGS4 is an okay choice, if one's disappointment from comparing to MGS3 is not considered.

Fallout 3 isn't good enough to be on the top 10 in the first place. The fact that it came first doesn't make a lick of difference.

Your list would have Bayonetta on it so therefore it would suck more than mine.

Yeach Uncharted and Gears of War being on the list makes me lol. I get it, it's an opinionated list but if youi're trying to pass it off as "These games were teh definerz of tis generator ov gamingz!!" Then just pack your bags and leave. If we were to do that we'd just put

-Wii Sports

-Kinect Sports

-Call of Duty (All of 'em)

-Wii Yoga

And a bunch of other games that are crap. It's fine that you consider Uncharted 2/Gears of War/Mass Effect top 10 worthy but don't pass it off as more than just your opinion.

They both are Opinnionated

kozzy1234

I think he was referring to the games that ultimately left their mark this gen more than anything, and really, these games are ultimately the one's people will remember the most(either because they won popularity contests or because they heavily influenced the gen).

Admitelly though, the list would require the likes of COD or Gears of War to be correct anyway.

That little Nier game you're laughing at has far more creative storytelling and interesting characters than those lousy Bioware soap operas you enjoy so much :P

You cared enough to come in here and whine.

Master_ShakeXXX

And you cared enough to make yet another terrible thread so I'd say it's about even.

Well yeah. These threads are fun. Do you have fun whining?

Why yes, I do actually.

Your threads are not fun or funny or interesting on their own, even when compared to the laughable standards of system wars. 9k posts in and you're actually below the standards of trolls and fanboys.

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] I wouldn't disagree that Shake's list is crap, but at the same time I wouldn't even consider putting Dragon Age or Mass Effect in my own. Admittedly not as insulting as some of the stuff in his list, but surely not something to and say "yep, this was one of the 10 best games I played this gen"Master_ShakeXXX

I that;s fine. Opinions differ. I adore Bioware, you may not. I'm just laughing at Nier being above... well... anything :P

That little Nier game you're laughing at has far more creative storytelling and interesting characters than those lousy Bioware soap operas you enjoy so much :P

So the hipsters tell me! I'll try it properly one day... if I'm out of good games.... and Final (IT GETS GOOD AFTER 30 HOURS) Fantasy 13 ;)

[QUOTE="Zeviander"] I haven't played 3 and I know New Vegas is better. His list could also do without Gears and UC2. Generic TPS's are generic. MGS4 is an okay choice, if one's disappointment from comparing to MGS3 is not considered.Slashless

Yeach Uncharted and Gears of War being on the list makes me lol. I get it, it's an opinionated list but if youi're trying to pass it off as "These games were teh definerz of tis generator ov gamingz!!" Then just pack your bags and leave. If we were to do that we'd just put

-Wii Sports

-Kinect Sports

-Call of Duty (All of 'em)

-Wii Yoga

And a bunch of other games that are crap. It's fine that you consider Uncharted 2/Gears of War/Mass Effect top 10 worthy but don't pass it off as more than just your opinion.

Oh, so this whole topic is a gong show then.

Good to know.:D

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="TrapJak"]This...pretty much defines the gen. Replace DA with Bioshock maybe, but overall this list has this gen down-packed. Not the opinionated list the OP created.

TrapJak

lolwhat? How is that list any less opinionated? Because a few of those games were capable of winning a popularity contest? Admittedly some of em are truly fantastic games(Galaxy for instance), but nothing about it is any less opinionated than what shake listed. Lists by design and any discussion about what games defined a definition will be opinionated. That's such a basic concept

Maybe I should go over what I meant

When I look over this gen, of course I'll think of my favorite games (derp) . And sure, this list is opinioniated(slightly). But when you think of the best of this gen, you're going to want to think of games that truly show you want this gen can offer. Not just awesome games , games that conver " Hey, can you do this on a PS2/360/Wii?"

That's what I meant , didn't mean to sound like a douche.

There is nothing not opinionated about it though.

If we're talking definitive on the premise that the games had impact(for instance why Wii sports is on that list, because it surely isn't because it's an excellent. it's a relatively fun tech demo, that was clutch as a drinking videogame) than to deny Gears of War or Call of Duty 4 a spot is just absurd. Those 2 games had huge impacts on the land scape of this gen, and certainly were of quality on their release.

On the flip side Dragon Age, Skyrim, and MGS 4 had very little impact if any at all. Maybe if we're talking how the gaming media standpoint. Batman I guess I could see on the list, because it put Rocksteady on the map and the idea of a superhero game being good was generally considered impossible.

If we're arguing out right "these are the 10 best games of this generation" than you still have a lineup that consists of games that frankly were much closer to pretty good, than straight up great. And you're missing stuff that legit couldn't have been done before this gen that were of quality in their own right like a Dead Rising or Demon's Souls.

My disagreement at this point is with the word definitive. I'm sure one can do a decent job of listing games that had some impact or influence on the medium. Maybe even listing games that were some of the gens best, but a straight up definitive list that hits most of the marks? that list doesn't really cover it. Especially if you're not at least giving a reason why that game deserves a spot. Oh and usually where most lists that claim themselves as defintiive or do best of etc bottom out is usually detailing basic criteria.

What the hell foxhound?

How can anyone find a DoA girl attractive?

They have creepy doll heads on their shoulders.

Their asses look like they were modelled by someone who's never seen an ass(which is probably true).

Got damn.

I disagree with Dead Rising. I thought it was fairly awful. However, Demon's Souls is gen defining at it's best.

You can disagree all you like. I was more bringing it up as a game that legit could not have been done before this gen. To fit his "hey can you do this on system ps2, etc etc" Because that game legit used the current tech to make itself what it is. Hell to go in another area Crysis or Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl. The basic changes that would need to be made just to bring them to a console(or were made in Crysis 1's case) make them fitting for that type of list.

I've taken it upon myself to reveal unto you all what the true benchmarks of video game quality are this generation. Think of this as an all-knowing guide or database I have granted you, a resource of plentiful information to live by. There will be no Uncharteds or Mass Effects or Assassin's Creeds here; no overrated garbage, but true, unadulterated, destined-to-be classics. Let the countdown of wisdom begin...

10. Crysis

9. InFamous

8. Condemned 2

7. God of War 3

6. Dark Souls

5. Vanquish

4. MGS4

3. Batman Arkham City

2. Demon's Souls

And now for the Citizen Kane of the generation, the teller of one of the most tragic and beautiful stories of our times, containing the most memorable soundtrack in creation, the most criminally overlooked and underrated game in the industry, I award...

1. NIER

Your threads are not fun or funny or interesting even when compared to the laughable standards of system wars. 9k posts in and you're actually below the standards of trolls and fanboys.

Oh, so you're just inherently a douche bag then.

No moreso than someone who would make a thread on topics nobody cares about over and over and over with the exact same air of insubstantiality. Instead of posting it as a blog where it belongs.

Either you crave the attention or you crave the negativity.
