We have to base things off something, currently metacritic has GTA 4 as the best game but metacritic is extremely biased as it gives certain review sites a higher weight versus others.  Gamerankings just takes all of the reviews and averages them, and gamerankings has mario galaxy as highest rated game ever(even higher than OOT)

We have to draw the line somewhere, if all those other games don't count for various reasons why does OOT?

OOT doesn't count, none of those games count.  Those sites just average a bunch of glorified opinions, it's pretty much worthless.  But on most sites that do top 100 or whatever best games of all time, OOT is almost always number 1.  That is what this thread is all about, will we start seeing another game take that number 1 spot as consistently as OOT?  


So other opinions are not glorified? I don't see how user reviews are any different. In the link in the OP most of the games listed are there because of nostegla or how impressive it was for the time which personally I always thought is a really poor way to judge how good something is now but that's just me. Another thing is the word "best", and best is an extremely poor word to use in this situation because it doesn't make much sense, favourite on the other hand, I can't argue with someone's favourite game, but when you say your game is the best you better expect that to be challenged.

Will another game take OOT's "spot"? Perhaps, I don't know but I don't know either why it's important, it's not going to change peoples opinions.
