I can see what you're aiming for, it just comes across as incredibly picky to me ^^ It's a list born of compromises.

Why no sport games ?

9 of that top 10 are on Xbox One.

Pretty impressive.

TOP 10 rated retail games this gen ONLY (no cross-gen games)

Super Mario 3D World - 93
Bayonetta 2 - 91
Mario Kart 8 - 88
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - 87
Pikmin 3 - 87
New Super Mario Bros U - 84
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - 83
LEGO City Undercover - 80
Infamous Second Son - 80
Project Spark - 80

Not really.  JUust shows you the best rated non-sports games (to include variaty).  Take that how you want.  

Oh my goodness people this is HIS list the way HE chose to do it. Nothing wrong with asking questions to make sure you use the list right but don't complain about his list and what you feel should be there. Either go make your own thread with the list you want or participate in the topic at hand geez folks!

The Last of US remastered will be number one. I know you conveniently excluded games that were on last gen but considering it's one of the top selling PS4 games and a lot of the owners came from 360 I'm including it.

Titanfall had a last gen port so it's only fair. GTA 5 will be up there with the Last of US as well.

i read of the opening post and he suggested lbp3 could get in there. It's really really really like i mean really simple that that game is coming on the ps3. No different than the last of us being on ps3/ps4. If the Last of US was on XB1 and not PS4 you'd all be drooling over it. Don't even deny that! 

1. Dragon Age: Inquisition - 87
2. Assassin's Creed Unity - 86
3. TitanFall - 86
4. Forza Horizon 2 -86
5. Battlefield 4 - 85
6. Far Cry 4 - 85
7. Shadow of Mordor - 85
8. Little Big Planet 3 - 84
9. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - 83
10. Sunset Overdrive - 81

Really don't get why some of you are playing stupid. How hard can it be to understand the difference between LBP 3 and Last of us?

If Project Spark can get an 80 metascore (admittetly based on only 5 critic so that can still take a sharp turn) then LBP3 can probably get an 88 or something.

Overall I really don't care to make a list about this, I've said it before but this year is nothing but filler material on PS4 before we get the big guns in 2015 (when I'll finally get my PS4 as well) so I'll gladly give this year to the X1.

Next year a thread like this will be way more interesting with the PS4 for example possibly getting its first 90+ exclusive in February already.
