You make every other thread look like a weak attempt, Smeags. Thanks!

I'm surprised how games such as:

Bioshock Infinite
Uncharted 3
Grand Theft Auto series (especially V)
Halo series
The Last of Us
Half Life 2
Gran Turismo series
Gears of War series

get ranked so low and Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong games are so high! In my opinion this site is clearly Nintendo biased whereas everyone keeps saying it's Sony Biased

To be honest I was pleasantly surprised at how Xbox centric titles such as Halo and Gears of War did. As we all know the Xbox community here isn't as large as our Nintendo or PlayStation communities.

As for how the titans of each company performed, I think there's an interesting distinction within the Sony fanbase. Unlike Nintendo fans, who for the most part universally love the major Nintendo franchises such as Mario, Metroid, Zelda, and Pokemon, Sony fans (at least from the lists I see) fall into two camps. Western developed fans (with the God of Wars, Uncharteds, and The Last of Us') and Eastern developed fans (with the Final Fantasies and Metal Gear Solids). The tastes of the PlayStation fans aren't as universal as with the Nintendo fans, so that's something to consider as well.

Agreed, and I've also noticed Japanese titles performing far better than Western titles on this site in terms of these rankings. That couldbe due to the large Japanese userbase we have on this webiste even if some of them live in North America.

I think a part of that also has to do with the lack of PC gamers. As well as what you said.

before Xbox/PS2, a lot of famous western devs were PC centric.

Games like Planescape Torment, System Shock, Fallout 2, Baulder's Gate II which are a lot of times at the top of the lists are completely absent from the list. These are generally regarded like the FF6 or Chrono Trigger of WRPG's during that same time period.

(Not saying they are that good, just what is typical. I think out all those games I only put Planescape Torment in my list).

SMEAGS did an awesome job though.

Awesome job.

110 games played from that list. This includes the ones I tried once and have absolutely no interest in picking them, like The Last Story, and the games I have to play because of family and friends and otherwise I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, like all the Smash games.

...Jesus Christ, is Resident Evil 4 really THAT good!? I really have to try it.

I wouldn't rank it quite that high, but It is easily the best Resident Evil game.

Well, I've played 142 of those games so, I don't think that's too bad.

165 for me, so you are cool. Emphasis on played, not beaten. I couldn't stomach trash like KotoR.

My share of games played increased the closer I got to #1.

Unless I counted wrong, I have played 112 games of that list. I think the only Nintendo franchise that I have never played is Animal Crossing (from popular franchises of course, I will probably never play games like Stafy and obscure stuff like that)

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I beat you all, I've played 207 of those including 47 of the top 50. Half the ones I haven't are on my TDL. The other half are repeat entires for franchises I don't like (like Street Fighter or Persona).

Oh which I have beaten 127 games which is more then many have played. I feel proud of myself and I do all this while still having a life and a girlfriend To be fair though, I don't think I've beaten too many games not on this list, I just have good taste.

BTW you do realize that you have 2 separate listings for Oracle of Ages/Seasons right? It's the same game, heck both games come on the same cartridge (you can unlock the other by getting the clear data code from a friend who has the other version). Thus The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons should have ended up higher

Skyrim and uncharted 2 way to high. The rest seems good. The king of all video games lives to remind us of his masterpiece.

Thanks for exposing yourself. Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons the same game, on the same cartridge.

Yea, you can unlock Oracle of Ages on the Oracle of Seasons cartridge and vice versa. You need the other game to unlock it, anbd you need to finish it, but if you owned one game and a friend owned another, you could play both games on a single cartridge.

You're pulling my leg. You didn't know?
