While there are good games on the Top 50 list, the ordering seems totally out of whack to me. I'd come up with a very different list myself, but that's another story... The problem with all such simplistic rating systems that try to reduce the ranking problem to a single dimension is that you end up with some really strange results (e.g. check out the IMDB rating of some of your favourite movies, then compare it to the ratings of the latest Star Wars or Marvel movies...) Most of the interesting games I played in the last few years I found on felipepe's multi-dimensional graph -- I realised games with a small but devout following are usually the ones for me, while the most popular ones (going by average score alone) are kinda hit and miss.
Anyway, here's my personal rant about it:
Anyway, here's my personal rant about it:
- Any random entry from the rest of the list is a lot better than PST.
- Top 10 is quite wrong.
- Pool of Radiance #26, PST #1. Let that sink in for a little while.
- Only two Gold Box games, huh?
- Fallout 1 doesn't deserve the 2nd spot compared to many other titles.
- Gothic 1 is waaaay down at #17.
- PST #1, Age of Decadence #11 -- is this a joke?
- Morrowind #10, Gothic #17, and Elex #38. No comment.
- No Eye of the Beholder, Dungeon Master, or even Legend of Grimrock? I rest my case.
