flameboy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Sensible World of Soccer great game not sure it would make a top 20 list though...who the hell was this list put together/voted by?!!!!
nekunando Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) It was voted by people visiting the Radio 1 site.. it is really awful ..people need to wise up Edited May 25, 2009 by nekunando
Dante Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) listening to it now. Football Manager no2 ¬_¬ Edited May 25, 2009 by Dante
ShavenWolf Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 FM09 is the #2 game of all time... dear oh dear... can't wait to see what's number one.... Going off the list so far, I'm guessing CoD4...
flameboy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 See can see why Football Manager would get a lot of votes considering the demographic of people that listen to Radio 1... It is a great game and guess its been top of its game for well forever (if you count when they originally made CM then the move to FM)
nekunando Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Out of that list, I would only have The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye and possibly Metal Gear Solid.. but I can't believe just how bad that list is

Dyson Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I don't get it. I thought it was fairly decent. Why do people object to CoD4 being the greatest game ever so much? Is it to do with the mentality that people adopt to the PC, and switch to Macs simply to rebel and appear individual? Let's face it; it is a fantastically built game and has provided hours of entertainment to both gamers and nongamers alike. It practically introduced my Dad in to the hardcore gaming scene and loads of people I know love it and play it for the game it is. At the end of the day the list up there DOES have some good games in it, and all the games in the top 20 are no doubt worthy of being there. If you look further down the list you can see lesser known games such as Shenmue, Elite and even Day of the Tentacle makes the cut. I don't understand what people are complaining about. It's a public opinion poll, not a deciding factor in how much fun each game provides.
Dante Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) 25. Halo: Combat Evolved 39. Halo 13. Mario Kart 28. Super Mario Kart huh? Edited May 25, 2009 by Dante
Emasher Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 There are some decent games on the list. But Its not accurate at all IMO. The fact that a sports game, which I'm assuming is an annual sequel cash cow, beat out OoT is disgusting. But Dyson brings up a good point, its just a public opinion poll, and its biased since its selective response and therefore doesn't have a balanced sample of gamers. I heard something like this on a Canadian radio show a week ago. Only it was the top handheld games, and it wasn't a public opinion poll. The list didn't have any sign of Pokemon, or Tetris and other classics that should have surely made the list, instead it was mostly PSP games with the occasional DS game, there was like one or two from earlier than this generation.
flameboy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Anyone listening to Jaguar Skills game remixes? will be on catch up won't it?!
Dante Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 will be on catch up won't it?! Yeah and it has started now. 8bit Hip Hop Outrun Guitar Hero Street Fighter / Mortal Kombat
flameboy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Yeah and it has started now. 8bit Hip Hop Outrun Guitar Hero Street Fighter / Mortal Kombat Awesome watching BGT (sad I know) but will tune it later.

It's justified tbh. OoT is past it's use-by date.

Have you played OoT recently? You can't right off games for being old. Aging well is something that determines if a game is classic, and if its one of the best games of all time, surely it has to age well. You can't really tell how well Fifa 09 is going to age at this point. It could be one of the better games of the moment, but does that make it one of the best games of all time?
Nicktendo Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 *FACEPALM* And they say the Wii is the casual's console of choice...
Dyson Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I see what you're saying. I do. And these "all-time" lists will constantly change as new games are released. AAMOF, I have played OOT recently and it just doesn't have that same magic it once did on the xth playthrough. Anyway, this is my point - it's all down to interpretation and matters of opinion. I don't want to have a huge debate about whether one game is better than the other but people claiming that it's an outrage that game y came above game z need to take a step back a second and understand why this is. I also don't want to claim that FIFA is the best game of all time either Trust me, the list would be completely different if it was up to me - or you.
Dyson Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Serious lol at people picking me apart for not thinking OoT is the best game of all time tbh
