Sonic Adventure maybe. I quite enjoyed that.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -
It's awful now I think. When it first came out on the iPhone, it was about 100 fun physics based puzzles. Now it's loaded with expansions and tokens and all the other shit you expect with a mobile game.Moot_Geeza wrote:*Googles Cut the Rope* -
Knuckles + 3 or Mania is best Sonic imo. Followed by Sonic 2 which isn't eligible.

But what is the actual question. I recall that they had a list of the best games to play today (christ, in 2009), which deals with that. But this just says "The 100 greatest games of the past 30 years" You can interpret that either way. -
All I know is 64 is the worst or second-worst of all the mainline Marios that qualify.
If there's two hundred games from the Edge and B&B lists, there needs to be more than one badly-aged Mario. -

There's no Gears in the Edge list which seems silly to me.
And there's no Vanquish which seems like a scandal that should bring down the magazine. -
Vanquish is a crime. That game fuckin fucks
-
I think I'm thinking of the list in terms of games that are still great today. Riven is the oldest game I listed and despite it's clunkiness it's still the absolute pinnacle of the genre IMO. Looks and sounds beautiful, and combines properly fiendish puzzling with a coherent and compelling game world and story.

Galaxy is peerless now for me.
Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
I see no issue with no Vanquish due to it being utterly mid.rateyourmusic: https://rateyourmusic.com/~Olimite -

I just realised that when I went to check which one got in. I've gone with 2. -
Why is Dishonored 2 on the Edge list?
I'm not going to say it's a pile of shit but one of the 100 greatest games of the last 30 years?
No. -

Not sure about 2, but the first one I would put in a top 100.
We could argue about the list til the cows come home though. There aren’t many on the list that I’d argue too much with. Just ones that personally I don’t like. Bethesda crap and GTA shite.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -
I've just realised that it just lists Minecraft, which as we all know is how Microsoft refers to Bedrock codebase. Therefore, Minecraft: Java Edition is a valid entry.

It's not their list, though, it's a list collated from readers' and writers' votes. And yes, overrepresentation can happen - 3 Zeldas in top 20 with another further down the list seems OTT. But I woukd have just Zelda games in my all time top 10.Only criticism I can think of is some ip is overrepresented but hey, it's their list.
Almost missed this. Cheers, that explains a lot!
Nothing wrong with a bit of Nintendo, I also love and appreciate all the mario's and zelda's but com' on, 8 (10?) mainline games from the same ip is a much. Just limit it to 1 and choose the best title (most voted for). Gives a bit more space for other ip to bask in the limelight? Imo etc, etc....
Otherwise, comprehensive and solid list; a decent overview of the past 30 years of gaming.Steam: Ruffnekk
Windows Live: mr of unlocking

I should probably withdraw this if I'm being consistent as this looks like another one that has aged terribly.monkey wrote:Spider-man 2 (PS2) maybe.

The swinging is still great in it, but everything else about it has been bettered.

Sorry I thought it would have been much later than that.
My list thus far:
Majora's Mask
Cyberpunk
Death Stranding
Waverace 64
Snowboard Kids
Tekken 2
Parappa the Rapper
Rock N Roll Racing
F Zero X
Mario vs Donkey Kong
Shenmue II
Yakuza Like a Dragon
Streets of Rage 3
Total Annihilation
Command and Conquer
Nier Automata
Streets of Rage I can still play today and it's engaging and fun.
EDIT: I can only include SOR 3 as that was 1994... still, it's probably the best one -
The first two SOR games were too early too
-
And Buck Rogers. And Mario Paint.
-
And Rock 'n Roll Racing! I think.
-
Wait, RnRR is OK going by PAL release.
-
Yeah I just looked it up. Is there a finer vehicular combat game? I don't think so, personally. It got the balance just right between racing and fighting.
-
In my head Micro Machines V3 got vehicle combat right but it's been so long since I've played it the originals might be much better games these days. MM Military had tanks etc but I never played it. V3 introduced hammers iirc.
Howdy, Stranger!
