Game informer Rates The Greatest Game Of All Time

[The Pledge]

Holy shyt. They didn’t even put Tekken 3 on that shyt

The disrespect!

 

[Tommy Fits]

Sega not represented at all in that bracket

 

[ChatGPT-4]

Horizon what? I know you're not talking about that series with Aloy? That shyt can't even get GOTY.

it was nominated for GOTY, but they gave it to Zelda Breath of the Wild

I won't say much but a rookie game versus that franchise for children didn't stand a chance. but Horizon is a better game (played both). and that's that.

 

[Standing on business]

RE2
Metal Gear Solid
Sonic
Shenmue
GTA (I forgot which number)
Mortal Kombat
Street fighter
Super Mario 3



All of those were legit game changers

 

[Rekkapryde]

At least my tastes come from over 40 years of gaming, vs the 15-20 years by the folks who made that bracket.

Bloodbourne, Shadow of the Collossus, nor Nier Automata will have a fraction of the influence or cultural impact of a game like Tecmo Bowl. Yet, Tecmo Bowl didnt even make the list.

100%. Sports Games don't get the credit they deserve

Tecmo Bowl
Madden
Double Dribble
Lakers Vs Celtics
Baseball Stars

it's there. lost in the 3rd round to BOTW

trash..

 

[Higher Tech]

I ain't mad at it. I loved that game when it came out. I remember how immersive it was.

 

[OneDeep]

That whole list is very subjective & purely just based on popularly

They make these list almost every year

They have Fortnite in there that’s all i needed to see

 

[The Pledge]

They make these list almost every year

I didn’t realize this was an annual thing

In that case,

Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of time released two days after Half-Life. Play both games today, and the OoT stan has to use some serious cope to argue why its a "Greater" game than Half-Life. HL had better graphics, gameplay, presentation, and was more influential to the greater gaming industry. Is Half Life the GOAT game? I dont know, but fans of it make better arguments for it compared with Legend of Zelda fans who usually don't even make an argument. They just give OoT the title and hope you don't ask questions.

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

Only one GOAT and it dropped last year.

 

[Consigliere]

SF 2 deserves so much better.

That game had a chokehold on the world.

To this day I judge my friends by who has the best Ken game.

 

[At30wecashout]

Some of these choices are straight FUGAZI. BG3 is one of the best of all time but BG2 isn't on there??? Nah. And some other glaring omissions

RE2
Metal Gear Solid
Sonic
Shenmue
GTA (I forgot which number)
Mortal Kombat
Street fighter
Super Mario 3



All of those were legit game changers

GTA 3. When that dropped, it was like a meteor hitting. Nothing was like it before for scale and ambition.

 

[IIVI]

You got Pac-Man, Super Mario 3, Tetris, etc.
No Sonic
No Contra
No F-Zero
No Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu
No Mario Kart
No Castlevania
No Golden Eye
No Ninja Gaiden
etc.

That overall list is a 6/10 for me. So many classics and iconic games not there.

Don't tell me it's the "ultimate" list of games when you don't include all the classics to shake up the brackets. That ain't a complete gamer's list for gamers, sorry. It's a shame Game Informer has been around for so long and that's their list of "classic games".

That's like only having the AFCCG and NFCCG without the rest of the play-offs to shake things up.

 

[IIVI]

SF 2 deserves so much better.

That game had a chokehold on the world.

To this day I judge my friends by who has the best Ken game.

One of the most impactful games of all-time.

E-Sports would be absolute ass without Street Fighter.
