>READ THIS FIRST, DON'T BE A SUMMERFAG
This has gone through a few iterations, but I need to clarify the meaning otherwise anons get mad - For this list, the definition of 'greatest' is not the same as 'best' - best is too subjective and you'll always have some faggot swear blind that his Japan-only loli waifu simulator from 1997 is the best game ever and scream bloody murder if you dare disagree.
Instead the criteria are as follows:
>Objective quality
>Industry impact at launch
>Mainstream appeal
>Legacy
And for the last fucking time, don't be that faggot who insists a game is shit by default unless it's aimed at adults, it's like saying a PG movie is bad by default, it's the most childish thing you can do
>tl;dr This isn't a /v/core list, this is the GOATs by a broader metric than your own definitions
Also if you're going to insist a game doesn't belong, provide a 'better' game to replace it and explain why
