>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

Opinion discarded, and I say this as someone who grew up with WW and used to play pretend I was an islander farming Chuโ€™s for jelly. Ocarina is simply the better game by every metric listed in your criteria.

Wind Waker has none of these traits. Ultimate only has 'mainstream appeal' due to crossover fanservice.

No, I'm just not so far up my own ass like most of the contrarian faggots on this board that I refuse to listen to other people. The overwhelming consensus has been anti-OoT for the last few threads, so I changed it. I predicted as soon as I did it would go back the other way, because /v/ is /v/, and oh look I was right.

Everywhere else online is fucking faggots as far as the eye can see, and here it's children, where the fuck can I just talk to normal people? I give up on you lot, go play your zoomie-zoom-zoom horse-waifu gacha while scrolling tiktok, desperately clinging on to the delusion your parents aren't thoroughly disappointed in you.

ALttP and even Slopparina of Time made a much bigger impact on the industry than fucking Wind Waker, which honestly felt like an "in-betweener" game between actual Zelda releases. OP allows his affinity toward WW to affect his chart, a grave move.

normal people don't give a fuck about coming up with a list of the top 25 games of all time. they play things they think are fun, go out and get laid, or do whatever else. spending time here splitting hairs over all this shit is not normal, you are not normal, and hoping that you can have this conversation with "a normal person" is futile because a normal person does not engage in this behaviour. stop posturing and pretending that you are above anyone here, we are all scum sucking bottom feeders.

I lived through it, you zoomies are fucking clueless and have no idea how to do research. The only controversial thing about WW pre-release was the shift to cel-shaded graphics, but people got over it. On release there were some complaints but generally it was widely praised. The main issue was that Gamecube sales were weak.

Best and greatest are synonyms, trying to pretend they aren't makes you look like a pseud.

I don't know in what world Red Alert 2 ends up on this list. It's a good game and sold well, but it's not the most popular, best selling, most original or most influential of its genre; if you put it in a collage of RTSs, it wouldn't stand out at all. I'm not going to lie: I'm pretty sure I've never heard a single person talk about the game before. And it wasn't on /v/'s Top 100 video games list back in 2011. So, using your own "broader metric," I'm pretty sure this game fails. I'm not sure who would put this on a list - other than you, obviously.

>Instead the criteria are as follows:

>Mainstream appeal

What do any of those have to do with /v/?
Like HoMM3 didn't have industry impact at launch nor mainstream appeal(fucking /v/ top picks that demands MAINSTREAM APPEAL LMAO).
Wind Waker has "objective quality" problems(unfinished for starters) and mainstream appeal isn't there either(GC floppa compared to PS2). Didn't impact industry either.

I have no idea what you want to make. The list should be "greatest games according to /v/", but demands mainstream appeal?
Like dude, with all your criteria, you should slap both Fortnite and Roblox there. Fucking Minecraft as well. GTA3 had bigger impact on the industry than Vice City, and San Andreas especially if you want to pick for mainstream appeal etc. legacy. Hell, even /v/ likes it more.
Why is Mario Kart 64 there instead of MKWii or MK8? Where is Touhou? Fucking EoSD. Tho despite EoSD launching 2hu to internet fame and being more than influential to culture as well as being known and liked by old /v/, you will prob argue

Didn't like the aesthetics at all, the music and the way the world was designed. Didn't care for anything that was happening and didnt like any of the characters, hated the amount of the backtracking with the constant respawning enemies that i found to be tedious, i generally found the gameplay and the combat very boring and braindead.
I remember i reached a desert level with skeleton enemies before dropping it since i wasn't having any fun with my time.

It was weird because i enjoy games like Hollow Knight, Castlevania and Ori.
But i also don't like games like Blasphemous for similar reasons.

Play Pathologic 2, consider playing the first game too if you enjoy the second game. Don't question the order, these games are weird and starting with the second is genuinely the easier and in some ways more logical way to get into them.

Understandable. I honestly think it's neat. The game is short and simple with lighthearted humor, the soundtrack was comfy and appealing with strong melodies that are catchy and hard to forget. Didn't really hate backtracking since i like hunting for secrets and exploration, enemies are easy to handle since you can just obleterate them with max lvl guns.
I think it's the similar case with how some people hate Earthbound, it's the kind of game that you either get charmed by it and enjoy or just hate it.

>Is this game really good?
Never played the third one, but 2 was genuinely quite good, and probably more relevant to OP's bizarre criteria, it was incredibly influential at its time.
It figured out how to translate the single biggest cultural trend of its era into a very solid set of gameplay mechanics that were intuitive, not too far removed from the act of skateboarding, and had a lot of potential depth and fairly high skill celling.

For its time, for the insane obsession skateboarding was recieving in its era, for it's attempt to invent the systems very much from scratch, it was a huge thing. 3 was starting to fall to the "the same game but more" syndrome, but obviously, with how much of a smash hit 2 was, it was even more commercially successful.

>Why not Portal 2? literally superior in every single way
You weren't alive when Portal 1 came out, have you? Portal was an absolutely insane phenomenon. Again, mostly for piloting concepts that haven't been done before, both in gameplay, and in tone and story.

Portal 2 may have polished and improved on the first game, but it was not even REMOTELY close to the insane and eventually, insufferable phenomenon that Portal 1 was. There is a reason why "the cake is a lie" became eventually a straight up stand-in for "way too overplayed and dumb quasi-nerdy humor".

Portal 2 was comparative a disappointment. It didn't really innovate or surprise in any way, and that was disappointing after Portal 1 came out and LITERALLY CHANGED THE INDUSTRY despite being a free novelty add-on randomly tacked onto Orange Box to make it seem less like a complete rip-off.

I dont like sportsfag games, so all these Fifa, NBA, Madden, Ping Pong and Tomy Hawsh fall apart for me.
I get your point but i don't follow this philosophy when i rank games, for me a game is good, stays good and will always be good, otherwise i toss it at the nearest trash bin.

Your Portal point is fair and legit, i just think that Portal 2 is the better game, and it did introduce new mechanics and gimmicks and expand upon the first, but you are correct its less novel and unique since its a sequel. I can see the reasoning behind putting Portal for this, but for me its a nope, Portal 2 all the way.

Ok, here you go, trim ones you think don't deserve to be in the list of TOP-25 GOATs that have huge legacy, had huge impact to industry as well as had mainstream appeal. Considered Portal, CS:S, Mortal Kombat, and some more nippon games(MGS, Castlevania, and Mega Man for example) but I think you will complain about the inclusion of DQ alone. Also couldn't remember more Arcade games so crucify me for that. Maybe Galaga actually. Fuq

That is a pretty dumb grouping, since Tony Hawk games are more align with something like Need for Speed or perhaps Driver or Burnout Paradise, than it is to something like Fifa. It's not emulating the sport as an industry or practice, it's merely emulating the act of freestyling as a... form of "expression". You have a sandbox environment, finicky controls with a lot of space to learn, a bunch of humourous and over-the-top goals, and everything else is up to you, fuck around as much as you want.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not personally fond of these games. My brother fell into the skateboard trap, he played a lot of Tony Hawk, and being an impressionable kid, I played it a bit too, but never got really into it.

But I have seen enough for it to understand its appeal, and you bunching it with something like Fifa is really missing the point, it's like bunching up Guitar Hero with Idolmaster, because both revolve around music industry.

>for me a game is good, stays good and will always be good
Yeah but the point here is that regardless of your (or mine) personal preference, Tony Hawk games used to be genuinely mechanically very solid. The alure of the idiotic skate culture, and the novelty may have worn off, but the core systems remain decent even today, and again: OP's criteria are surreal, entirely absurd and stupid, and one of them is about impact on release, so that further "explains" the inclusion of TH games.

I know I would not fucking chose them for a top 25 games ever, but OP is an idiot. He just isn't COMPLETELY random, there is a method to his stupidity.

Places like that exist in 4chan, but they're rare, and /v/ ain't it, that's for sure. I have no idea how this has apparently gone through "multiple iterations." Reddit is full of gigantic, cocksucking, insufferable fucking faggots but honestly I think it could be more conducive for these types of conversations.

Also to be fair I think you could have been a bit more clear about the types of responses you were expecting. Sounds like you want people tor respond with just what games should be on there and why, but that could have been made a bit more clear.

I was going to point this out too, I think a top Vidya lists should condense/disqualify franchise entries that are similar mechanically, and sub-divide franchises if the gameplay changes a lot such as AC1-Syndicate being separate from RPG AC. Invites a wider celebration of title, and doesn't clog up the list with a dozen OoT sequels.

I think I can see why you've chosen it but I feel like Warcraft 3/Halo's Forge/Gmod and even Fortnite have done for the player generated content influence.

but good list.

You do realize that individual creatures have individual tastes and preferences right, and that we as humans grade the "quality" of things based on that? Nobody universally agrees upon anything because of this

Huh? Really? Seems by the list of your favorite games that it would be right up your alley. Who the fuck likes Puzzle Agent but actively dislikes Pathologic?

I'm not going to convince you to change your mind, but out of my curiosity, why do you "heavily dislike" that game? That implies more than just not being able to get into it (which is fairly reasonable, it's pretty inaccessible, but then again many of the games on your list suggest you aren't stranger to jank and difficult stories).
