Is this list of our personal favourites or what we think are the best games ever made?. For example i personally wouldn't put mario 3 on my list but i do think it should be on the greatest games ever list because of how well it's made.

What we think. Games like Daytona USA, Sports Champions 2, and Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection would rank a lot higher for me.

Here is some trivia:

The one reason why Rise Of The Tomb Raider made it to my top 100 is because of the world class Baba Yaga DLC, which is probably the best DLC of all time, next to The Old Hunters, Blood And Wine, and Undead Nightmare.

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is in the top 20, but if you mix it with Sonic & Knuckles it raises its position to the top 10.

Also Yakuza 0 is in the top 50 because it cheats automatically by having games like Out-Run, Super Hang-On, Space Harrier, and Fantasy Zone within the game.

The best missing games(imo) I notice are missing right away are Banjo Kazooie, Burnout 3 Takedown, Ridge Racer Type 4, and Super Mario RPG.

One of these days we will be able to compile a top 100 stratogustav lists.

If anyone care, I am around these parts:

I would really love to see that. Also, I didn't mention the Mother series, I know it is supposed to be quite popular, the same goes for Fire Emblem, and Shin Megami Tensei. I'm just not very familiar with RPGs in general, that's why there is no Pokémon mention, or even Paper Mario.

A list of a 100 entries is a pretty sizable list, but then again it's stratogustav we're talking about. Before clicking this I thought a 100 was a good size, but not quite the stratogustav standard I'm used to. I was not disappointed when I saw you also had a huuuuuge list of honorable mentions. You never seize to impress me dude with your list making skills.

Solid picks. Some of the games that I thought were missing I found among your honorable mentions. There are various genres represented, too, even the ones you don't play much (RPGs). I like your lists, man.

Thanks man, I figured Panzer Dragoon should be a top game, but I honestly don't have a lot of experience with the Saturn. Nights Into Dreams should be there as well. I'll put them on honorable mentions at least because they are supposed to be some of the top games.

I'm not very big on mascot games in general either, like Crash, Spyro, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Star Fox, Conquer, etc., but they also have their place.

So if I missed some it is because my knowledge of games has a limit as well, and it is usually because I haven't explored some of those genres as much as others have.

Yeah not many RPGs stood out to me being missing since I knew not to expect alot.

Not fan of Super Mario Bros 2? I noticed that is missing as well, I love that game it's hard for me to pick between SMB 2 or 3 on NES these days.

Yeah, Super Mario Galaxy 2 wasn't included either. Both Super Mario Galaxy are excellent games, but Super Mario Galaxy 2 shares too many features, and assets from the original, and as a consequence it feels more like a cool expansion than its own game.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a 10 out of 10 platformer just like 1, but the similarities makes it feel like I'm listing the game twice.

When it comes to Super Mario Bros. 2 the story repeats. It feels a little bit different because it is no longer Miyamoto as the first in charge, but instead it is Takashi Tezuka who also co-directed the first game, that came to take the lead role this time.

A lead role he would maintain in making the two masterpieces that are Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World, as well as Link To The Past, Link's Awakening, and Yoshi's Island.

This is the guy behind the original The Legend Of Zelda, Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Run, and his works are pure gaming perfection. We are talking godlike status next to people like Akira Kitamura.

I also didn't mention Super Mario USA that we know in the West as Super Mario Bros. 2 from the Doki Doki Panic series because even though I do agree it is an excellent game, very easy to love, and with a lot of creativity, originality, ingenuity, and imagination, there are some Kirby games that I would still put above it, including Kirby Super Star.

This list is made from my general view of gaming, in my personal favorites The Kind Of Fighters XIII is in the top 10 for example.

I can't find a thread on NieR:Automata, so I'll use this one. The port to the Switch is coming out, and I've never played the game. stratogustav, I see you've rated it #57 on this list. I'm interested in picking it up, so sell me on it.

I'll do! If you have played Bayonetta, think of its combat, but even more varied due to a high number of weapons and abilities. Now, think of a world that is more or less open, kind of like Ocarina of Time or Okami - instead of a single huge world, it's divided into many large areas. Now, add a very deep customization system, in which you can switch at any time anything about your character - maybe you want less defense but a bullet time for perfect dodges? Maybe you want parries? Maybe you want to sacrifice you HUD (yes, really) to instead have more HP or higher attack? It's all customizable.

Now, add very interesting characters that have deep personnal arcs and absurdly well written dialogue. Also expect a gameplay that doesn't sit for repetition, and may even change genres sometimes: it mostly alternates between 3d/2d action and 3d/2d shmup.

Finally, expect a story that is among the best I've seen in a videogame, easily on the level of Chrono Trigger, but very similar in tone to Panzer Dragoon Saga (it feels almost like a spiritual successor storywise). So, if you like the kind of action made by Platinum Games, and you like well written adult RPG stories, and you like varied gameplay, everything is here. The game is top notch.

To me the reason the game called my attention is because it reminded me of the PS2. It had some Neo Contra sequences, some Gradius type sequences, and even some Lament Of Innocence, specially when it comes to the music.

I know the game was made by Platinum, which is an ex-Capcom developer, but everything about that game felt like PS2 Konami. I even saw some Zone Of The Enders and Metal Gear Solid vibes.
