.KICK Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm really surprised that Final Fantasy ix is on this list. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, but it brought nothing new to the table. It's like they felt obligated to put a final fantasy title in this list. Have to agree! FF9 was good but didn't offer anything amazing! FFX should have been there instead? Why wasn't Halo on there?

.KICK Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 And Lost Odyssey? Really? Just saw that too! Game was great but definitely not top 50. Speaking of LO, I need to get back to it and complete it! Game gets ultra hard though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treemonkeys Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 They should have System Shock instead of Bioshock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briandl79 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) No Mafia no care. Seriously, one more vote for Mafia. I couldn't put it at number one because I didn't play all of the other 50 games on the list, but to have no even made the list, that's preposterous! Also, the list seems to favor Japanese games. I don't just think that's because those games are better, I think it's a clear bias. Also, no RTCW or Max Payne? Another guy made a good point that there are no Bethesda games on the list, I agree with him that their work deserved at least one spot on the list.

Spookie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Why wasn't Halo on there? It's an over rated console shooter. Amazing shooters get admiration from all formats (ala CoD4). IMO ofc! ;) They should have System Shock instead of Bioshock. System Shock 2 came out 99, I think they went from 2000 onwards. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knaarfje Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 aww, no introversion games? oh well, at least Psychonauts is on the list. I feel that game is terribly underrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) This list is **** with an overwheling favouritism to nintendo and jap anime games/genre......1 RTS game too, gtfo. I have never even heard of number 48, yet somehow it beats KoToR? I could go on but some of these choices just boggle the mind. Destructoid this list sucks so bad that if I was to come up with a list of the Worst 50 gaming sites of the decade, you'd be number 1.

Massiveterra Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Halo was overrated in 2001? Compared to what other game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilo Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Halo was overrated in 2001? Compared to what other game? Compared to every other FPS on the PC. Return to Castle Wolfenstein was a MUCH better game that was also released in 2001. The only revolutionary thing Halo did was mainstream FPS games on the console to the casual crowd.

Xilo Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 In context to this top 50 list? Metroid Prime is #13 In context to this top 50 list, pretty much all those games were revolutionary, brought innovation to the genre, great storylines, etc. Some I don't agree with and it's mostly the ordering. Metroid Prime at the time was innovative, great graphics, etc. It's one of the best selling Gamecube games of all time. Halo was a pretty generic shooter when it was released and still is. It's offered nothing new and innovative to the FPS market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethos Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 And what makes this list so special? Oh yeah it's made up by a bunch of people who happen to be part of a somewhat-known website and thus we have to genuinely care and believe this is a fact list just accepted as a global law.

Xilo Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 That is absolute rubbish! Okay, then. Please, tell us why Halo deserves to be on a "Top 50 Games of the Decade" list? What has it done to deserve a spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted December 9, 2009 Member Share Posted December 9, 2009 These lists are subjective at best. Nice list but like everyone else I'd probably add a few games and take away a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Yeah overrated by EVERY SINGLE REVIEWER. Much like MW2. Every reviewer gave it a verbal blow job. But we all know it isn't worth 9.5 even if the MP really good. Half of the game is sub par and too short. But that's another topic. Halo was a pretty generic shooter when it was released and still is. It's offered nothing new and innovative to the FPS market. I concur. Much better shooters had been coming out for years before Halo arrived. Halo was not overrated, it pretty much set the level of FPS on consoles! That's because the bar was firmly 6 feet below ground.

Knife Party Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 i'm sorry but having not mention of Halo is utterly 100% 24 carat fail in my book. Great FPS by 2001, loved it on my original Xbox (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
