At least bingo on the last page delivered.
TIME did 50 Best Games of All Time a while ago.

I noticed this in the other thread, no matte what changes Mass Effect 2 is always near the very top on these lists.
It's weird, since you barely see that game mentioned by players today outside of directly ME related discussions, but it is universally adored by journos.

Heh, last page is hipster snark overload even by their standards...

Andy: I love it when games make you feel like a stranger in a strange land, and BGII does this brilliantly. Transplanting the hero to Amn against their will is a brilliant device to change the setting, and it’s one of the most vibrant, interesting places I’ve explored in an RPG—particularly the giant city of Athkatla. It’s a huge game, with complex characters, hundreds of hours of questing, and a deep turn-based combat system

Bgfags never cease to amaze and disappoint.

 

[Gregz]

I guess tier 1 means stupid

 

[Alienman]

That is a really poor list.

" the 100 best PC games you can play today. The ‘today’ part is crucial: these are games from across the history of PC gaming that you can still enjoy playing in 2016."

Fuck off. Across the history my balls

 

[sullynathan]

Is it weird that these lists from pc gamer always include one super popular recently released game?

I noticed this in the other thread, no matte what changes Mass Effect 2 is always near the very top on these lists.

I guess the makers of DOSBox never bribed gaming "journalists" with whatever skipped along with the Mass Effect 2 review copies.

 

[Carrion]

The bingo at the end was pretty funny, but unfortunately I didn't laugh much as I had already gotten multiple types of cancer from reading some of their game descriptions.

[Reinhardt]

n other words, by putting it in the list they think they're sending a message about their skills as gamers and their supposedly refined tastes as the hardcore, elite part of the "gaming community".

Ctrl+f "Cuphead" in list. Not found.

On the bright side, it's lists like these that forced me to flee to the Codex.

 

[PorkBarrellGuy]

MOBAs and MMOs do not belong on this kind of list. For fuck's sake. They accidentally manage to stumble across a few decent-to-good ones like New Vegas, DF, FTL, Stardew and NetHack and miss SO MANY actually great ones (WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE BLACK ISLE FALLOUTS, WHERE ARE THE ULTIMAS AND MIGHT AND MAGICS AND WIZARDRYS, GOD DAMN YOU).

 

[~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-AIN'T]

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE BLACK ISLE FALLOUTS

Fallout 2 is on the list

 

[PorkBarrellGuy]

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE BLACK ISLE FALLOUTS

Fallout 2 is on the list

Shit, you're right, my bad. Probably only there because of New Reno and the ability to marry/gay-marry Miria/Davin, knowing these journos' tastes. (Next to Ladykiller in a Bind, really? Fuck you PCGamer)

Fallout 1 should be there too though, and slightly higher on the list, frankly.

EDIT: Why the fuck is Doom 2 on the list? Level designs ranged from terrible to OK at best in Doom 2 and the only really good thing was the Super Shotty.

Because they needed to throw in some "old shit" to increase credibility and street cred and Doom was already on some previous list.

How to make "Best games of all time" list:
1. 50% whatever is the most popular in the last 5 years
2. 25% whatever indie hipster shit that got some coverage in the last 5 years
3. 25% throw in whatever old shit them grognards like to talk about (reshuffle every few years so it seems like you actually know this shit)

Where's the bright side here?

Such lists are just butthurt bait.

More number = More better
