Let's not pretend that this pile of shit didn't come out of your ass. I made a post that was 100% on topic, and you decided to bomb in and let everyone know why you think I wrote what I wrote. This derailment is 100% on you.

Sorry not sorry for refusing to kowtow to your ego. If want to know my top five games of 2017 that badly, you can guess them, and I'll tell you when you're right. Otherwise you're just going to deal with not knowing.

Both?  Mario tends to be the one people rate the highest and I've owned two of them.  I have played 2D platformers I liked more, such as Sonic and Rayman, though neither held my attention for very long and I have no interest in them now.

I agree I think the game would be better if you didn't have to reload by dropping into squid form. I think it would be better if you automatically reloaded if you were standing in your ink.

Really? I never found Dark Souls to be all that difficult. Not as a sort of weird humblebrag, but I genuinely don't feel it's mechanics are all that hard to learn or understand. As long as you're not gungho and stupid, the game is actually very reasonable, it's just very DIFFERENT from what most people are used to. 

Honestly, I find shooters like Call of Duty and even Uncharted to be far more challenging. Then again, Dark Souls' style is more up my alley. 

2? Which 2?

For me Uncharted. Basically a walking simulator with pretty graphics.

Yeah I preferred MK over Diddy Kong Racking, but man that game was fun when it was out. I spent HOURS upon HOURS on that game. My cousins and I loved that game. Along with 007 of course.

@bolded *gasp again* MK 64 was so fun. SNES MK was a lot tougher tho. I'm surprised to hear an answer like that. Seeing as MK 64 is revered as one of the best MK to date.

As for me, I always felt Halo and Ocarina of Time were quite grossly overrated.

Halo is a generic shooter with a somewhat above average story. I always hated regenerating shields, the game felt hollow and inorganic, the environments were generic sci fi, and it all felt plasticy. Far as I could tell it really was just a generic FPS game that happened to work well on a console.

Ocarina Of Time is not a good game, I don't think. I mean, it did a lot for the industry by innovating a bunch of things, but none of it holds up. The graphics are terrible, the gameplay is clunky, the structure is ripped beat for beat from its predecessor, has terrible conveyance issues, and is just frustrating.

Then again, I think like 95% of games from that console generation (PS1/N64) suffer those same issues.

But yeah, I can go back and play Link to the Past and it feels good. It looks good. It has aged wonderfully. Hell, even the first Zelda has aged well, as I didn't even play it as a kid and still found enjoyment in it as an adult when I beat it for the first time. I can't do the same with OOT. When I first played it on N64 in I think it was 98 or 99 (not long after it came out in Canada), even then I didn't like it. I felt it was just an uglier, clunkier attempt at recreating Link to the Past. I made it about halfway through before giving up on it. Tried again on gamecube (Came in the Zelda collectors disc with 1, 2, OOT, and MM), and still didn't like it, though it was marginally better because the Gamecube Controller is in every way superior to the N64 controller. Tried again every few years and just didn't like it.

Only ever beat it for the first time on 3DS a few years back, and while my opinion did slightly improve of it, I still think it's a mediocre game that gets worlds of praise because it was huge at the time.

I don't think it's a bad game, but it's like a 6/10 or a 7/10 getting 12/10 praise.

What do you mean by memory based gameplay?

I thought The Witness gave me just enough information to solve the various puzzles to give me that "ah-ha!" moment.  Myst never gave me that feeling in the same way.  Many games people are mentioning here I adore so obviously tastes differ.  I think Myst sold majority of its copies as a tech marvel and there is that niche core audience that could appreciate its greater complexity.  It never had that Super Mario or Doom or Street Fighter effect of changing the landscape with all sorts of copy cats that persist to this day. For a game that sold so much I don't think it has the legacy other massive sellers of the time have had.  Would you put it on your top 100 all time game list? I'm not sure many people would.
