IGN Best Videogame of All Time Bracket

[Bob_McMillan]

San Andreas is beating Modern Warfare, Witcher 3 is beating God of War, GTA5 is beating Arkham City, Breath of the Wild is beating Bloodborne.

Growing up all my friends were obsessed with both San Andreas and Modern Warfare, so that's a pretty good match up. Personally I've never understood the appeal of GTA, sure it was exciting as a kid to run over hookers and kill people with a baseball bat, but as an adult, now my eyes glaze over when I consider playing yet another crime sandbox. Everyone's sick of CoD, but I think Modern Warfare is genuinely great. If someone were to force me to play either game until I finish it, definitely would go with Modern Warfare.

Witcher 3 and God of War... that's hard. God of War is such a high quality and curated experience. Witcher 3 is a lot less focused, but there's just so much more of it that is also high quality. I think God of War is more fun to play, but Witcher 3 was an experience that will stick with me for a long time. I really can't choose.

Arkham City is one of my favorite games of all time, although I am a huge Batman fan so definitely biased. GTA V is just so huge though (both in terms of content and cultural impact) that even I don't give a shit about it, I can't quite put City over it.

I've got a weird relationship with GTA.

GTA 1/2: Meh.

GTA 3: OMG, this is the best thing ever!

Vice City: Pretty fun

San Andreas: Played it for literally a few seconds at a friend's house

GTA 4: Don't care

It seems that GTA 3 was to my youth what San Andreas was to yours, cause it was really big for me and my friends at the time. However, it just doesn't hold much interest for me now. I've never been that into 'crime fiction,' so to speak, and while I get the appeal of a sandbox in GTA (which as far as I can tell, has much more to do than a lot of sandboxes, it's just not my thing anymore.

At least The Last of Us didn't end up being named best game ever.

Thanks for these updates

At least it looks like the new GoW will beat out GTA:SA as there is no reason two GTA games should be in the running together. GTAV also should have been way, way behind any of the 3D installments, let alone RDR1 & 2.

Anyways, I can rest easier knowing it’ll probably ultimately go to a more recent Zelda game, even if it still had its own flaws.

So, should we start betting on who'll end up the illustrious winner? Me, I think GTA5 is going to take it.

 

[Hawki]

If we're taking bets, mine's on Breath of the Wild.

 

[laggyteabag]

Well, I no longer have a horse in this race.

It was a rigged race from the start, so it's not even a true race. No horses hooves should even touch the worthless dirt of this track.

Fixed for double negative

Final round, God of War vs. GTA 5.

Guess I was wrong in my bets. Between these two, I'll go for GTA 5.

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

Voted God of War because IMO GTAV was probably the most overrated of them all. It had upped quantity at the expense of quality. Probably should’ve never been released on 7th gen consoles either. Then we’d only be seeing two generations of remasters instead of three.

God of War... The best game... of all time.

Fuck off IGN

 

[TheMysteriousGX]

I dunno, if you take nostalgia out of the equation and assume every game came out this year, I could see it.

I don't agree, but I can see the democratic argument.

Fuck off IGN

Pac Man
Super Mario Brothers
Doom
Legend of Zelda.

NONE of them had the impact that God of War 2018 had.

I hate this community so much sometimes...

"Best" isn't the same as "most influential."

Take Doom and Legend of Zelda for instance. We can probably agree that they're both influential games, but personal thoughts on the former aside (it's my #3 Doom game), few people would call the original LoZ the best LoZ game.

Sorry/Not Sorry, but "Best" to me is the impact a game had at the time it came out and the influence it continued to have.

Ignore their list. Everyone has their own best game of all time. When I last checked, IGN are not the de-fecato definitive answers nor in charge of all things gaming. You can make your own.
