God of War II will almost certainly be jousted out by Bloodborne by the time I am done with it, but I don't want to jump to that prematurely, I've been known to get caught up in the hype before.

@jg4xchamp: Huh, could have sworn you used to have Yoshi's Island on there, or Demon's Souls, or Galaxy.

Or maybe those are just the great games, not the GOAT ones.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica

Counter-Strike (1.6)

Halo

Yoshi's Island is probably the 4th, but not completely sure with it.

Shit's like a moving target for me, I begin appreciating another game more over time. Demon's Souls wouldn't be my favorite game of last gen, that would be Bayonetta, and Galaxy 2 isn't even in my top 5 for the gen. Although yes Galaxy 2 is terrific.

Besides it used to be Metroid Prime before I replaced it with Super Metroid...again...it'll probably be Metroid Prime tomorrow ; p

No particular order and the list can change by the day... and I can't do just 5 lol. I'm a mess when it comes to topics like this.

• Ninja Gaiden Black
• Yoshis Island
• Chaos Theory
• Link to the Past
• Super Metroid
• Resident Evil 4
• Super Mario Galaxy 2
• Metal Gear Solid 3... or 2.
• Final Fantasy VI... or Chrono Trigger, damn it.
• Metroid Prime.

And a fucking mile long list of honorable mentions.

Edit: And then I realize that I don't have a single Souls games in the list which is Shamefur... alright I'm done.

I'm not sure.... it's a hard question and one that's constantly changing and reordering itself. I don't think I would be able to pin it down to 5 games that are better than everything else.

Given how strong that group of games is, a Souls game doesn't really need to be on it lol

@jg4xchamp:

Maybe so, but Dark Souls is still fresh in my memory and damn it I loved that game lol

1. Super Mario Bros 3

2. Burnout 3 Takedown

3. GTA San Andreas

4. Simcity 4

5. Fallout New Vegas

All items include their respective DLC content:

1. Final Fantasy IX
2. Dark Souls
3. Halo: CE
4. Pokemon R/B
5. TLOU:R

And because you didn't ask for it, the next 5 are Bioshock Infinite (minus its DLC - f*ck BaS), Uncharted 2, Starcraft 2, GTA: Vice City, and Shadow of the Colossus.

• Knights of the Old Republic and The Sith Lords
• Borderlands 2
• Fable 2
• Red Dead Redemption
• Halo: Combat Evolved

And no Japanese games....though Pokemon Gold/Silver would probably crack my top 10

@Basinboy: BaS is the only redeeming factor about that piece of shit.

Why is this in system wars ive had more relevant threads removed from system wars.

2. Bioshock

4. Halo series
5. Red Dead Redemption

Honourable mentions: Portal 2, Civilization V, Tomb Raider (2013)

SW is weird about treading the line with game discussion. And usually these "Best ____ of _____" threads get a free pass since they do no harm and everyone is willing to participate.

I know that feel though bro. I used to create funny troll topics. Most people seemed to enjoy them, but they always got locked. Now if I were one of the typical shit trolls it would have been fine since they know no better. They create worse threads every day with no issue. But because I did know better, I wasn't allowed to have my fun. :(

Just the way it goes bro.

- Majora's Mask

- Starcraft: Brood War

- WoW (Vanilla/BC)

- Baldur's Gate 2

- Counter Strike
