My top 200 favorite games of all time

[The_Joker]

After searching every bit of my memory and scraping things together as hard as I could, I think I've managed to cook up a top 200 games list. This is virtually every game I've ever played that I can remember the name of, so if it's not on this list I either haven't played it or haven't played it enough to feel comfortable ranking it. Thought this would be fun to post.

() = Console I played the game on
[] = Ranking on 1-10 I'd give game
{B} = Beaten the game

Rough scale...

10 = Masterpiece
9.5 = Amazing
9 = Great
8.5 = Very Good
8 = Good
7.5 = Pretty Good
7 = Okay
6.5 = Above Average
6 = Average
5.5 = Below Average
And so on.

[cyberjim2000]

I have to say, that's amazing. I can't even remember what I had for lunch.

 

[De-Ting]

Giving Humongous Entertainment's god-like games such low scores = I'm not your friend, buddy.

 

[used44]

Ok.

 

[danielrbischoff]

So basically you listed every game you ever played

 

[The_Joker]

So basically you listed every game you ever played

Well the order is the hard part.

I should go back and beat Superman 64...maybe record me doing it and posting a let's play.

 

[Lien]

You rated metal gear solid 3 LOWER then number 2 and 4? and rated megaman 3 lower then 5 and 6?

Nah all seriousness, I'm impress in the work you did on that list there... but does that mean that any other game you didn't play is automatically worst then superman 64?

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Wow, that's super intense. Well done.

But if I'm going to nitpick. MGS2 over 1? I've never felt it brought anything other than graphics.

 

[The_Joker]

Nope. Just means I wasn't able to rank it accurately because I haven't played it or haven't played it enough to comfortably judge.

Like I'm 100% sure I'm going to like Xenogears more than Superman 64, but I haven't played Xenogears yet.

 

[The_Joker]

I'm on Team MGS2. I'm well aware it has a contingent of people who didn't care for it, including huge MGS fans, but I loved what it brought to the table. I thought it all worked really well. Being heavily cinematic was part of the experience and I appreciated it.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Nah, not trying to bust your balls over it. Just my personal interjection. Judging by the top 25...we could hang.

 

[The_Joker]

Oh yeah and before anyone asks I HAVE NOT PLAYED DISGAEA 3 YET AND THIS FACT MAKES ME EXTREMELY SAD.

I really want to but I don't have opportunities much anymore.

 

[NickKmet]

Giving Humongous Entertainment's god-like games such low scores = I'm not your friend, buddy.

Those games made my childhood!

 

[The_Joker]

I have actually done a LP of Superman 64 on youtube. I did a voiceover of me explaining the storyline of the game. Basically you played as a US Senator who had a fetish for being a sub in a BDSM relationship with a schoolgirl that involved dressing in spandex and flying through rings. And you had to stop Lex Luthor's minions from going to the newspaper with photos of you indulging in your fetish by picking up the cars with them in it.

I should redo it and actually beat the game...I have too much free time.

 

[WickedLiquid]

Wait, aren't you supposed to ask us what our favourite games are then calculate it all into a top 200? Or was that just a one time thing?

 

[The_Joker]

I'm not going through all that for a third time.

I have a job now. -_-

 

[NickKmet]

I'm sensing a paradox here.....

I have too much free time.

I have a job now. -_-

 

[The_Joker]

I'm a software developer.

I have free time everywhere I look.

But seriously I'm not doing another top 100 GR games list. **** is exhausting.

 

[NickKmet]

hahaha, I'm kidding, man. I don't blame you. It's a big time commitment. Personally, I barely have time for anything involving entertainment right now, so I understand.

 

[GRColin]
