EDIT: Oh, just realized the 96 was for Gamecube. |
Well Uncharted 2 has 96 out of 105 reviews,
Bioshock has 96 out of 88 reviews
Yet Bioshock is higher than UC2 so I don't think thats how it works.
Hum... The only ones I haven't played is LBP and SMG2, but I really liked all of the others. Though, my top ten list would only include Bioshock, Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect 2 from this list.
Yeah I agree except I'd replace ME2 with ME1 and LPB with Halo 3. Bit weird how some of the games only have one hardware next to it though it's multi platform i.e Batman AA.
As for the order not sure. I wouldn't have GTAIV at the top though I can understand why it sits there (it was so ahead of it's time, blew away everything else).

Oh, you've misjudged me. I'm one of those casuals who bought their first home console this generation with the Wii (well, I owned a DS, GBA and GBC before, but still). In general, I don't find games too easy; I find them too hard, :P. It wasn't that with SMG, though. I don't know why, but I found it just plain annoying to go through. I've since realized that I'm basically that way with almost all 3D games so it's really not the game's fault so much as it is my inherent dislike for the ability to go up, down, right, left, forward and backward at the same time. Also, I bought the game imagining it to be "the best game ever" from reviews and such, not realizing that it really wasn't for me, so I was even more disappointed, really. I really just prefer games like Pokemon and 2D Mario over Nintendo's more "core", critically acclaimed titles for the most part (well, I liked Brawl, but that's as far as it goes). |
Sorry, didn't mean to misjudge you. I now see you are more into side scrollers and games with simple game play mechanics, but it's sad that you can't enjoy such a beautiful game. Although, I somewhat understand what you're going through. My mom loved to play the 2D Mario games and even games like Castlevania from the NES and SNES. However, when she played Mario 64 , she wasn't able to grasp the controls in 3D space, and never really got into the game.

You don't have to apologize for it, xD.
Anyway, I suppose it is a bit annoying that I don't get 3D games. I make sure to be as much of a Nintendo fanboy as possible most of the time, but, despite this, I can never talk about a lot of the games that quite a few people seem to like from them. I mean, entire franchises are forfeit for me thanks to this. I suck at Zelda. Not gonna touch Metroid. And so forth. Annoyingly enough, these are exactly the games that critics evidently love.
Also, this isn't the first time that I've been compared to someone's mother. Something tells me that's not a good thing.

That's just completely fine having different tastes. Personally, I don't listen to what critics have to say most of the time. I only hear what they have to say if I'm interested in a franchise that I haven't tried, and even then I may not agree with them.
Regarding the last 2 sentences... I guess I shouldn't have told you about that :P... but if it makes you feel better she was pretty hardcore ;)
GTAIV should be on the list but not at no.1, also skyrim shouldnt even be in the top 20 if you ask me.
My opinion on these games
- Grand Theft Auto IV - I don't get why so many people hate on this game. It is lacking in a few areas compared to San Andreas, but I had a ton of fun with this game. I can understand if you're a single-player-only gamer. Then, I would agree with you considering the single player was pretty weak imo. However, I got most of my enjoyment out of the multiplayer. I've had some of my best mp moments with GTA IV. I still play it regularly.
Sure, the shooting mechanics aren't anything special (In fact, they're pretty mediocre imo) but the modes / world / content, etc are exceptional. I often find myself playing Free Roam for hours on end just running around shooting, sniping, blasting rockets, doing drive-bys, forming alliances with strangers. Becoming rivals with one day and tracking him down the city. I'm never board when I play this game. And when I'm not in Free Roam, I find myself in Cops N Crooks or GTA race usually. And I've had more fun with GTA Race than I've had with nearly every other Racing game.
- Super Mario Galaxy & Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Don't think there's much explaining needed here. I think it deserves to be here
- Bioshock - I haven't played this game for a few years, but I thought it was great. I was a little let down by the exceptional praise & hype, but it was still a great game. I think that for it's time, however, it was as amazing as the critics mentioned, so I'll say it deserves this spot.
- Uncharted 2: Amoung Thieves - Similar to Bioshock. I found it great, but not amazing. But I can understand the appeal to the game and I can perfectly see how some people can identify it as their favorite game of this gen. I say it deserves this spot.
- The Orange Box - Haven't Played it.
- Batman: Arkham city - Definitely deserves spot! My favorite game this gen.
- Mass Effect 2 - Definitely deserves this spot! On of my favorite games this gen.
- Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - I'm still in the early stages of playing it, so I can't say for now, but as of now, it appears to be worthy of this position.
- LittleBigPlanet - Definitely does NOT deserve this spot imo. I don't see why so many people love this. I thought it was amazing at first, but after playing it for so long, I began to grow a stronger and stronger disdain with it. The platforming is extremely floaty making jumping feel odd. And most of the levels are flat out boring imo. I guess most people like designing their own levels and enjoy floaty physics?
My Top Ten would be:
1. Arkham City
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
3. Valkyria Chronicles
4. Super Mario Galaxy 2
5. Dark Souls
6. Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
7. Left 4 Dead 2
8. Mass Effect 2
9. Portal 2
10. Mario Party 8

Thanks a lot. Now I will remove GTA IV, The Orange Box and Skyrim from the list(all great games but not top ten in my opinion), and let the next 3 ones raise to take their places.

I really hated LBP I don't get how so many people enjoyed this game...I was so bored I couldn't even complete the full game once. I haven't played the Mario Galaxy games so I can't judge them. But in my opinion the worst one on the list is Skyrim...it doesn't even deserve a 70 metascore.
