Forums - Gaming - Top 10 games to play before you die.

Wow. Whoever made this list just picked a random of ten games with an average score over 90, and certainly knows nothing about gaming.



Around the Network

A little too much Sony and way too much FPS. I can pretty mcuh guarantee I'll get to the grave without playing all of these games and not regretting it.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

What a very very sad list.

Not a strong list, especially the lack of any Mario title is at least disturbing...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Aside from Starcraft, none of these would even be in my top 100.

My top 10 would probably consist of (in no particular order):
Super Mario Bros 3
Ocarina of Time
Final Fantasy 8
Sid Meier's Civilization 2
Terranigma
Skies of Arcadia
Final Fantasy 8
Earthbound
Xenogears



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Around the Network

To add a few (as it wouldn't necessarilly be just those 10 I would pick from)

Chrono Trigger
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Castlevania 3
Xenosaga episode 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 4
Dragon Quest 5
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy 7
River City Ransom

Completely off topic, but don't you find that expression funny? Of course you're not going to be able to regret anything cuz you're going to be dead. Dead people can't regret anything.

Anyway, agree with what you said, although I've played about 3 of those.

Qual é, Dadinho...?

Dadinho é o caralho! Meu nome agora é Zé Pequeno!

For anyone criticizing the list - this does NOT claim to be the top 10 games EVER. Rather it's a list of games worth playing in your life. I suppose that rather than criticizing people could try and post their own. My go (in no order):

Doom 2 - made history of videogaming and that double-barreled shotgun
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo - the game I spent most hours playing
Deus Ex - one of the best games ever IMO
LittleBigPlanet - Sheer fun!
Starcraft - online multiplayer changed gaming
Ultima8 - such a big game
Sensible World of Soccer - again big really big!
MGS - genre defining
GTA San Andreas - great open world game
Lemmings - loved and hated the game!

I said I'd get to my grave, I never said I'd be dead when I got there. Mwuhahahahaha!

Not including Illusion of Gaia even in your extended list makes this list a very sad one as well.
