i dunno why i bother posting this. i am just bored at work

 

[Background Character]

Mixing JRPGs and WRPGs, Skyrim in the first place, Mass Effect 2 in the top 10, yup, yup

Listen, gonna go puke some blood real fast and I'll come back to write something longer

I hope

 

[Bester]

6. World of Warcraft

 

[Robespierre]

 

[Stompa]

Every time "gaming" press manages to surprise me

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Well it is a pretty accurate reflection of the new RPG audience of today.
It is also a reason why I hate a lot of new gamers of today.
Idiocracy in general society has still got some road to go, but it is a lot closer in the gaming community.

 

[Reinhardt]

Looks like someone just write down all "rpgs" in order he remember them.

 

[Jokzore]

14. Deus Ex
13. Planescape: Torment
12. Fallout 3

[Hyperion]

Bottom 50 is a hell of a lot stronger than the top 50. Jail Time!

Skewed way too much in favor of recent games, though.

[Turjan]

I am sure these lists are only written for the entertainment value the comments provide. Also, the more outrage, the more clicks.

100. Torment: Tides of Numenera

Is Fargo tweeting this already? Somebody should let him know, it's great advertising.

 

[Fargus]

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
98. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

These lists always bring good comedy.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Yup, I'm easily entertained. The respective positions of Fallout games for example are p gud.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Zelda botw like "oh we have no idea what to put anymore. Can someone help??"

They look at botw and "oh look this game habe elf boy you can fight goblins and it have swords and magic! It must be an RPG!"

 

[Rahdulan]

I swear to god, everything past the top 10 has been assigned random position. There is no point to such an extensive and broad list beyond click bait. Separating JRPG and WRPG alone would've helped immensely.

Codex got it right, as usual.

 

[FeelTheRads]

These "best of all eternity" lists seem to always be based on what's popular at the time they're made and on the website they're made. Guess based on whatever data gathering shit they have on that website. I bet they're generated automatically.

Otherwise what is TTON even doing there? It's not like it's the typical shilling material like, say, Bethesda's stuff nor something that got picked up by hiptertards like Underdale.
Probably just showed up there because it's new and there's SOME forum posts or whatever about it.

 

[Reinhardt]

Otherwise what is TTON even doing there?

We need one more rpg to 100.

 

[Zer0wing]

The Legend of Zelda

Dark Souls

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Toppest G and RP.

I'm 100% sure the classic titles in this list are only to annoy the locals.

 

[Excidium II]

epic

 

[jaydee2k]

Gothic 1 & 2 didn't even make it on the list. lmao dickheads

 

[undecaf]

What a schizophrenic list.

As usual.

 

[Infinitron]

Looking at this list for what it is, an approximation of the current "mainstream AAA RPG consensus", I observe three things:

1) No Bethesda Fallout in the Top 10.
2) Final Fantasy Tactics is kind of an unorthodox choice for inclusion in the Top 10. Somebody's dark horse pick?
3) Even by mainstream AAA RPG consensus standards, Deus Ex should have been in the Top 10 (instead of FF:Tactics, I guess)

 

[FeelTheRads]

1) No Bethesda Fallout in the Top 10.

Hah, Fallout 4 is not there at all. Bethesda must have troubles with their Dorito shipments or else they pissed off the gaming press somehow.
Otherwise Skyrim being higher than F3 is quite in line with the typical shilling process: newer games are always better.
Remember how F3 was hailed as much better than Oblivion, the game that won like a million Citizen Kane awards.
