It's been three days, I'm not trying to push the OP or anything but I'm really curious about the outcome of this whole thing...kind of a reminder that this thread exists and had an overall purpose I guess.

unikgamer? unikgamer.

 

[AVeryClassyCat]

Interesting idea...I'll see if I can even remember half of the games I used to play way back when.

No particular order here:

Final Fantasy Tactics
Quake 3 Arena
Killing Floor
Sonic 2
Intelligence Qube
Fallout 3
Killer Instinct
XIII
Bastion
Final Fantasy VII
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
Super Mario Brothers 3
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Portal
Donkey Kong Country
Bayonetta
Terraria
Bioshock
Hitman: Blood Money
and...Spec Ops: The Line

I would put Amnesia on here, but I'm a giant baby when it comes to horror games and my save file is literally my character on a box in the water portion. I've loaded it up a few times and just stared for a bit before wimping out and playing something else. It's a fantastic game, but I've yet to finish it so I can't really throw it on the list without seeing the whole thing.

I am baffled at how many lists have Mass Effect 3 at #1.

 

[IronMit]

OP?! OP...OP!!!!!!!!

 

[EmperorSubcutaneous]

OP?! OP...OP!!!!!!!!

I'm starting to think he was actually a clever spambot who has collected our lists of top 20 games so that he can advertise to us personally.

OP, I would like to let you know that this was a waste of time! No amount of ad revenue could justify the effort your ruse took, seriously, what were you thinking!

[small]Although I would be very happy to see what games you'd advertise to me based on my list, actually please do this, I need more games like those on my top 20.[/small]

No order:

Deus Ex 1 & 3
System Shock 2

I wish I was so clever. Also, the theoretical ad ruse would take so much less time than actually compiling all the data I'm going to compile for this.

I'm all too human. : (

OP!!? OP!!! OP!!!

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

I don't normally practise necromancy, but...

...if anyone has any idea of a scoring system, I will do the final list. My current idea, having scrapped a system wherein 100 points are allocated in total according to order as being too complicated for my simple mind, is that I just tally all mentions of a game. I also need suggestions on how to deal with mentions of series as opposed to single entries, because while having the series behave as a single game, other lists will have mentioned multiple entries, or some and not others deliberately, leading to those lists having less votes overall, if I count a mention of a series as a vote for all the constituent games, we have the opposite problem. I'm thinking of counting a vote for a series as half a vote for all entires mentioned explicitly by others.

Or if nobody cares, don't reply.

EDIT: Seems the thread has once again arisen. I may have spoken too soon.

[teqrevisited]

In no particular order at the moment:

Dawn of War
Deus Ex
Devil May Cry 3
Resident Evil 2
Tomb Raider 2
Final Fantasy IX
Persona 4
Seiken Densetsu 3
Okami
Warcraft 2

I tried not to have more than one entry from the same series, otherwise this would've been a boring list. I'll figure out some numbers in a few minutes. eventually.

 

[MarsProbe]

In no particular order (other than the order they come to mind):

1. Homeworld
2. Half-Life
3. NiGHTS into Dreams
4. Tomb Raider (the original, haven't played the new one yet)
5. Outcast
6. Assassins Creed 2
7. Mass Effect
8. GTA IV
9. Quake
10. Unreal Tournament - somebody send me into a game of COD with some armour, a flak cannon and an impact hammer and I'll clean the place out!
11. Deus Ex
12. Mirrors Edge
13. Freelancer
14. The Walking Dead
15. Panzer Dragoon Saga
16. Sonic 3 (really, I would say the entire 16-bit Sonic series but if I could only pick one it would have to be Sonic 3)
17. Tomb Raider 3
18. Prince of Persia (want to treat to whole SoT series as a single entry - the awesomeness of the whole series went way up when I finished Two Thrones)
19. Deus Ex: Invisible War
20. Alpha Centauri (Civilisation + space colonies = winning combination!).

That was quite tough - there's probably a rake of games I've left out that I'll kick myself over later for missing.
