Since most modern games don't really appeal to me, I'm not sure I could conjure up a top 100 anything made in the past few years to even populate such a list. The bulk of it would probably be older games from Sega Genesis and SNES. I don't really care to think of enough games to make even a top 10, but if I narrowed it down to 5, there'd be no room for Andromeda, since all 3 current DA games would populate that list, and of course ME3 and Yoshi's Island lol Being a hopeless Destiny addict I guess it deserves some notable mention, but then cocaine wouldn't make my top 10 list of favorite foods so I guess it doesn't count. Yoshi's Island, man... one of the best games ever made! That one and Ocarina of Time. Such a cliché but it's the truth. I remember playing OoT for the first time on Christmas Eve when I was 12 or so like it was yesterday. Pure awe... Still, emotionally the trilogy will remain my no 1 forever. You'd think a game I played as a kid would remain perfect in my heart. Be my most intense gaming love like only a child can love something. But no, I fell so completely in love much later in my early twenties. Mass Effect changed my entire perspective on videogames and what they can give me still as an adult. At a time I felt too old for games already and really sad about it. *wanders off in a trance* ...wait, was this about Andromeda? I don't care enough to even rank it. I'm getting back into ME3MP with friends. I feel giddy like a kid on Christmas Eve about THAT. |

Mass Effect 2 came in 7th, Witcher 3 was first. Not surprisingly, Andromeda didn’t make the list. Not that I think MEA would have made the list, but they specifically said they only include one game per series. They picked ME2, so none of the other ME games could make it. No mass relays, so how is the Tempest traveling between systems? (Never explained.) Mass relays have never been used to travel between systems within the same cluster, only for travel between clusters. Conventional FTL was always used within a cluster. Remember flying the little ship around the map in ME2 and running down your fuel? MEA takes place entirely within one cluster so there is no need for mass relays. |

I don't think I've ever outright hated a game. I complained about Destiny 1 more than any other game recently. 2 has improved upon 1. The Mass Effect games take the top spot for me, with 2 being my favorite of the original trilogy. Dragon Age would be my second franchise. Fallout is up there, but I play a lot of Doom. The Ultimate Doom (especially the original 3 episodes) I love and play at least once a year. I always then dive into Doom 2 and so on.
ME games (including Andromeda)
DA games
DooM games
Fallout games
Contra games
Mortal Kombat games
Jagged Alliance games
X-Com games
Wolfenstein games
Resident Evil games

They haven't put Life is Strange in the top 100?
Pff.
That list is very heavily weighted to certain genres, which reflects the tastes of the people compiling it.
Opinions are like arseholes; everyone has one.
As for the baited question - No idea, I dont tend to try and compare different types of games. Resident evil 2 is a much better horror game than ME:A, but ME:A is has better combat than crusader kings 2.

Though don't let me get in the way of your virtue-signaling Dude, you're digging the hole deeper. It's OK to be confused if you only played ME1, never read a relevant Codex entry, and didn't listen to a lot of conversations. That game's travel mechanics are pretty vague. But it's impossible to complete either ME2 or ME3 without flying the Normandy between star systems without using a relay. What did you think was going on? |

From my review: *SNIP* Before you say anything, you DID ask. Ah, don't worry. I just saw that the FIRST Witcher somehow made your list. I could barely believe my eyes. What can I say? I love that game. Used to play it so much. Introduced me to the Witcher-verse, inspired me to read the books. Might be time to re-visit it, actually. Though when I finally get around to TW3 it'll probably bump TW1 off the list. |

Never have I been graced by such condescension! Seriously though, I guess you take your sci-fi more seriously than me. No, I didn't bother over-much with the codex in any of the games. See named locations on map, click on them to go there. That's about as far as my interest in the graduated size of star-groupings takes me. I'm fine admitting this. No hole that's being dug. Though your posts are starting to sound like a certain type of hole... Shall I?... Nah, I take it back. Not interested in a flame war. Peace. |

I think some people may get confused because the star map of the Helius cluster was so much bigger than any cluster you went to in the OT. Each system on the Helius Cluster Map would have been its own cluster on the Milky Way galaxy Map. |

Ok, sorry, I can tell you exactly why this list is complete bullshit. It ranks Rocket League as better than Bioshock.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love Rocket League and have played a good amount of it. But to put it anywhere near the level of Bioshock is just insulting. It's a great game, sure, but it's not one of the best games of all time! All 3 Mass Effect OT games should be above Rocket League, as well as KOTOR for sure. I guess IDK if KOTOR was on PC, but whatev. And Wolfenstein: The New Order better than Wolfenstein 3D?? Whatever, PC Gamer. Keep dreaming.
This list doesn't prove anything at all. It's basically just some people's preferences. For that I'll give it a "cool story, bro."

It's a great game, sure, but it's not one of the best games of all time! To be honest I've always thought of Bioshock as incredibly overrated. It's been said (by the developers) to be the spiritual successor to System Shock, but that's laughable (imo.) |

If you don't care about the lore, then not understanding the lore is a natural place to end up. I still don't understand how playing the game doesn't make everyone realize that ships can go between stars without relays. Even if you skip the relevant conversations, the SR2 travels between stars without relays all the time. You can't complete ME2 or ME3 without doing that. (Haven't read the novels, so can't comment.) Do you always get like this when people point out that you don't know what you're talking about? (For the record, it was ProbeAway who called you out on this; I just pointed out that it's a surprisingly common error.) |
