Its right above god of war 3 and barbie horse adventure, why the surprise ? You seems doubtful about our fine reviewers credibility.

I'm surprised Deus Ex HR is not the #1. After all it's both hyped, good and French game.

ah! yes, arx fatalis,but it was published by jowood and arkane studio is now part of bethesda. I am not sure they still pay their taxes in france.
That aside i must go back to ishar and drakkhen to find a good french rpg.And people here will say ishar is a sub might and magic game.

So skyrim is somehow a little french ? Well, whadyouknow :salute:
We do have some indies though: E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, Winter voices...
Yet i cannot say if there is some incline to be found here :?

And Twitcher 1 actually got more praise than its sequel in france afaik.
Guess we have good taste for at least one thing :lol:

That list is... odd. Some very derp choices, some very good choices and some very kawaii choices, all strewn about haphazardly.

A game that just came out shoots straight to the top of the list?

What the fuck is going on out there? I can't believe this is happening. Just how much money did Zenimax spend on marketing? Who do they have photos of in comprising positions?

There's nothing new or surprising about new, hyped games appearing on a best games of all time list.

I know it's not new, but this is like the last straw of me being sick of the hype for this game. People have a cult-like devotion to the game. It's perverse and obscene

Sure. But the list seems to be very TES-friendly in general. Skyrim - 1, Morrowind - 4, Oblivion - 11, Daggerfall - 23.

Yes? Skyrim is part of the TES-series. It's a good thing to show that the number one game hail from such fine ancestry.

edit: Stating the obvious: top ten lists are a marketing tool. Don't ever be surprised that websites or magazines suddenly decide it's time to call the best games of all time when a hyped, high-profile game is just released. Just shrug it off.

TBH, i was really surprised at that list. I was REALLY expecting like 40 jrpg and FFVII coming first.
Still somehow annoyed to see Oblivion with such a rank.

Edit:Also, no Pokemon ? Color me surprised

Just in case anyone is curious about what the article says about Skyrim :

The best RPG of all time, the one all roleplayers will mention with respect and starry eyes, is Skyrim, the fifth game of the legendary "Elder Scrolls" series. And if you think it's too early yet to judge such a recently-published game, you'll be convinced of the opposite once you've mentioned its name and heard the players describe with passion theirown experience in the highly immersive world of Skyrim.

I'm too lazy to translate the rest, but I'll sum it up : "Blablablafuckingbla, I've written similar bullshit about many other games back when they were new and, the next time I pretend I'm smart enough to make a Top Whatever of CRPGs, Skyrim will probably occupy the tenth or fifteenth place. Please kill me."

Why would anyone even BOTHER flicking entirely through a list which has Skyrim on top?
I mean, even the people here that swallowed the thick, creamy loads of FUSRODDDDUUUH will SURELY agree that Skyrim CAN'T be described as being GOAT, not by a long shot.

More than half the list are jRPGs. Meh, at least Fallout is #3 (and Fallout 3 #40 hehe).

:salute: Erebus, i was too lazy to translate it myself

And yeah, this site has the derpiest lists ever, making you go game after game to see the 'best', and not giving any deepness. Still, at least it's not just a list and they tried to explain why those shitty jrpgs deserved their place there.

If you understand french, i invite you to read the comments: it is derpiness at its' best
