Damn I didn't see this topic or I would of voted :(

But I doubt it would of changed the results as I don't think I could agree with more than 1 or 2 of the games that are in the top 10 and would of placed them lower.

I also am sat here scratching my head as to how both Mass Effect 2 & 3 got more votes than the original, Given the second polished up the combat. The shock of how new and good the first was along with the story and especially the ending that leads the way to set up the trilogy is what makes the original the classic. I love the series as a whole but would put the first Mass Effect as the 7th gen classic out of the series.

Last gen didn't feel like it had many classics. There were a lot of well made games, but I swear its' like so many of them went with what RE4 introduced with Third Person Shooter mechanics and then they just added a slight twist here or there. A lot of series that never had an over the shoulder TPS mechanic before added one in, like GTA and MGS. Then there's the FPS craze with Modern Warfare and we know how that went down going on ten years later..

True, but for me personally it's another Portal/Portal 2 situation. The first game brought those pieces to the puzzle, but the second game made them fit oh so perfectly - and even brought a few more pieces IMO

Hmmm what would you call a classic from the 7th gen, just for reference?

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, MGS4 (despite the RE4 TPS influence), Portal 1 and 2 and that's about it off the top of my head.  I'd argue DE:HR is a classic though.

Story wise, the apocalyptic/post apocalyptic scenario now is more tiring than the save the world scenario.  You can at least do  more with the narrative in the latter and the world is so much more pleasing and interesting since it's alive and kicking.  Lore and data finding become too dominant as a story telling device otherwise.

I was thinking about putting them down, but they're kind of a mixed bag. Imo  it's not about a game being enjoyable because its a challenge, its about it being just enjoyable.  I suppose Dark Souls could be considered a classic, but it has such a discernable quality to it that can make it difficult to want to  pick up and play.  I should know, I went through several phases with that game being stuck on bosses.  It was only after I beat the game that I started to enjoy it.  And enjoy it immensely I did..afterwards.  But definitely not before.

Not to throw any wet towels... but in five years, this vote will be radically different.
