massive respect and thanks for all the hard work!!!

absolutely stoked at celeste appearing so high, my personal #2 - almost gave it first over BotW. also thoroughly impressed with FE: three houses, not only did it place highly, but it won GOTY!

my main disappointment is that astral chain and bayonetta are so damn low. cmon guys, show platinum some love :(

Thanks for doing all of this mZuzek.  It's much appreciated.

I really love seeing the break downs by platform and year.  When it's all broken down I can say something like, "Those probably are the top 10 NES games" or "Donkey Kong really was the best game of 1981".

The top 20 looks a lot better this year too.  We actually have several non-Nintendo games in the top 20 (and top 10), so this is a better representation overall.  I'm glad a lot more Playstation fans came out and voted this year.

Congrats mZuzek on compiling this behemoth of a list and thanks again for hosting!

I had a lot of fun writing and reading and guessing.

A worthy #1 and #2 if I might say so myself lol. Surprised former winner Mario 64 is a bit lower now. But more importantly; I was the only voter for Theme Hospital? That’s criminal. *ahem*@Kresnik*ahem*

Nice list. Thanks mZuzek for the hard work. Disheartening that so many of my games have only one vote: mine. At least my #1 isn't dying alone with only one vote.

But there are funny coincidences: I have Monkey Island on #19, that put it at #621 in the result. But at the same place also turns up Monkey Island 2, a similarly great game. Also onnly one vote, so someone else had it in the same place as I, #19. I don't know who, it doesn't show in the official thread, so it must be in a list sent directly to mZuzek.

Rol is the only one beside me having Pandora's Tower on the list, so treat yourself y'all, it is a great game.

Thanks for your work!

Great work as always. It's more or less given that the closer to the top we get the less it matches my personal opinion, but I think there were more games from my top 50 near the top of this list than any other year before as far as I can remember. There were actually 5 games from my list in the top 20, which I don't think has happened before, though only one was in the top 10, but still.

LOL the top 10 is awesome, no Last of Us or GTA in sight

Thanks for all your time and effort!!


Just a shame that there are so few Nintendo games in the top 20 this year.

An embarrasing list to be honest, to many gamers stuck inside the Nintendo bubble. Respect all peoples opinions, but VGChartz in a nutshell.

Nice rant, but you are wrong with your assumption that players are stuck in a Nintendo bubble. The reason Nintendo games end up on top is that they are fewer, but of constant quality. What I mean with fewer: many people here had Final Fantasies on their lists. But there are 15 or so Final Fantasies, which is splitting the votes. Yet there are few Nintendo games all are agreeing are great.

I mean look at the separate lists from the people: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=241290

Can you see so much Nintendo dominance in the single lists? I guess not. Sure, there are a few that have lists consisting mostly of Nintendo games, but at the same time you have others that have only or mostly PS in their platform column. That the end result is different is because everyone mostly agrees on the Nintendo games while from other devs and on other platforms very different games are picked.
