IGN's Top 25 Modern PC Games

[MRY]

The article is here.

A few awesome details.

(1) Spelunky inexplicably occupies both #17 and #12 on the list. I suppose they'll fix this at some point, but for God's sake, isn't a listicle the easiest thing in the world to edit?

(2) FO:NV beats FO4. On IGN!

(3) The Witness at #6. This seems like the recency effect.

 

[Urthor]

Witness at #6 is just straight up bait, ditto XCOM2 at 7, Portal 2 at #1 (2010 was so long ago people have probably forgotten Portal 2 vs Portal 1 was a debate), and many more



IGN long ago figured out how to play to its reputation to milk ad revenue from an outraged internet. Not to mention 14 year olds are the #1 demographic for these websites because they haven't figured out how to install adblock yet.

Isn't it obvious ? It's a clickbait to make money from advert .

Subscribed! How is your patreon going???
Offtopic since the thread is shit anyway - is there a reason why all the fucking idiots on youtube tell me to DONT FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LIKE MY VIDEO?
Does it work for any of you? I have 0 channels I subscribe to because why the fuck would I when I can look them up myself if I feel like it. If I did subscribe to anything, those morons asking me to do it would be the last person I'd subscribe to.

Modern gayming is a fucking farce.

Seems like BioWare is falling behind on their payments...

Fallout 3 - Video Review
04:33

Against all odds, Bethesda’s hugely successful revival of the Fallout series overcame skepticism about transitioning the classic role-playing series to a first-person perspective.

You don't say.

 

[Jick Magger]

They were really scraping for it when they put Mad Max in sixth place, weren't they?

I'm guessing for most people it makes them more likely to be noticed and approached by YouTube for a partnership deal, or to spread the popularity of the video via word of mouth.

Are these lists made for any other reason than to sell the latest games? Shit like Firaxcom 2 and The Witness are barely on a top 25 list of games released in the last 2 months.

4, Dota2 <--- definitely the clickbait part with League of Legends right above it

Funnily enough, that's the only part they got right with this list. Not that either game should be on a list like this.

This lists are just ads for some shitty new indie games, in this case its The Witness and Undertale.

It's for The Witness and Firaxis' latest shite. They don't need to sell Undertale.

Undertale found its way to pretty much every single top list since it was released, they are being consistent.

Well, yeah. Undertale is there as the latest really popular game to make the lists seem legit(bonus points because indie!). It's how games"journalism" works.

Games that are 2-3 weeks old are only there to be sold.
