This list is laughable. They should have called it best games of the 21st century. How can you not have the pioneering games that was part of the birth of video games. How can games like Pacman and Tetris not be anywhere to be seen on this so called "All time" list.
IKR? I remember going to a billiard hall as a teen (which turned out to be vietnamese mafia hangout) to play SF2. We'd go in.. whip ass and talk mad ish. Turns out the kids we were whipping were kids of viet mafia. They were all really cool though.. even taught us billiards. lol We'd drive all over town and look for standups that didn't have f'ed up buttons or sticks at all times of the night hoping to find someone playing. I had a guy pull the guile glitch on me in a match at Supertrack in Houston. I had never seen it before and it was before youtubes. Became friends with him and his twin after finding out they lived in my neighborhood. Turned out they were sons of Cesar Cedeno the retired Astro's player. I can't imagine how much money I've dumped into that game. For it to not make it out of the 1st round is a travesty.I'm happy that Street Fighter 2 made the list (at least they didn't forget it), but I don't know if anyone under 30 realizes how big of an impact that game made. Prior to SF2 multiplayer games were almost entirely cooperative. Outside of racing and sports titles, people were either working together or waiting their turn to play.

You nailed it. I recalled as a kid, being at our local arcade that had SF2. In retrospect, it was a seedy bar; How the owner got away with letting kids in escapes me. But man they had the best machines in town. One day this new kid walked in and his play style was 100% attack. We all played a defensive type style. We thought this kid was some maniac not taking defense into consideration. Turned out he was from LA visiting family for the summer. Up until that point, I thought the only way to win at SF2 was that defense and zone type style you soo accurately describe. It's how we all played it in NJ/NYIn NYC it was all about a very defensive and zoning-based game.

literally nobody knows that, even after seeing the evidence, even after being told by thousands of youtube videos and forum posts like this year after year. it's all an illusion to distract you from the truth, a feeble attempt to hypnotize you enough to forget what was just said. it's all.... *stares blankly at waterfall* oh wait, huh, what was I saying?Interesting, I did not know that.

Tetris was there, it got booted off by Bloodborne.This list is laughable. They should have called it best games of the 21st century. How can you not have the pioneering games that was part of the birth of video games. How can games like Pacman and Tetris not be anywhere to be seen on this so called "All time" list.
Both great games, nowhere near the best games of all time.and it's down to the Final 2...God of War (2018) vs GTA 5

In order to get an at least somewhat objective result all the voters need to know the history and significance of every game they're voting on. The majority of the IGN audience owns a console or two and has only played a handful of recent games.
History and significance do not necessary make a great game, not even good. Back in the day I bought a megadrive in oder to be able to play Dune 2 and I played it a lot and back then it would have been my favorite game of all time, but now? not even close.
That's not to say that I agree with their list, but the subject is too subjective to get a result that even a fraction of people can agrree with.

Well by this logic, nothing older than 6-7 years can really compete. Because a game from 2010, even a good looking one from that era, can't be a great game due to bad graphics. And what would've been truly great in 2005 from a map design, NPC interaction, sound design and more perspective would be average at best in 2021. Likewise, a middle of the road game now would typically be a great game in 2005.

But if you are going to create a "best game of all time" list, you have to take history into account, otherwise what's the point? In 5 years this list will be garbage because the games that won today won't be "new" enough then? I mean, the list is garbage, but not for that reason.History and significance do not necessary make a great game, not even good.

Good, classic games last forever. People still play Doom and Quake. gar
Yeah, the problem is they also included a lot of popular modern games, and most of the kids these days don't know what any of the games you listed are.I don't think you can really make a Best Game of All Time list in 2021 because a lot the best games came out 15+ years ago...so the list would be filled with Half Life, Deus Ex etc...so IGN and other sites need to make their lists relevant today which means adding modern titles...I think IGN did a fairly decent job under the circumstances adding older titles like Burnout 3, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Goldeneye, Doom, Tetris etc
Yeah and they decided cod was better than 007... Relatively to the dates the games launched, not a bloody chance.Yeah, the problem is they also included a lot of popular modern games, and most of the kids these days don't know what any of the games you listed are.
Can you share your thoughts on what makes 007 on N64 superior to a modern day COD? Is it the graphics? Story? Controls/movement feel? Gunplay? Sounds? Modes? Weapon selections?Yeah and they decided cod was better than 007... Relatively to the dates the games launched, not a bloody chance.

Because you were 007.Can you share your thoughts on what makes 007 on N64 superior to a modern day COD? Is it the graphics? Story? Controls/movement feel? Gunplay? Sounds? Modes? Weapon selections?
Because you were 007.
Yes GOAT would have to include influence, popularity and a long list of criteria and would be a much easier way than best of all time because it would exclude any game that was not popular. But the best game of all time is maybe a game no one never played outside of the person that made it for themselve.. When we're talking about GOAT games, we need to focus on games that changed people, not games that were prettier or smoother.

We do not know and it influenced no one, it has zero argument for being the greatest game of all time, but can have one to be the best of all time, there is a nuance between the 2, greatness involve accomplishment, impact, legacy, best is more open to what people mean, someone for example could call the game they most preferred to play has the best game, which would not be that relevant when you think about the greatest.Then who did that game influence, and why don't we know about it?

Maybe, but the web site did call it the best game of all time (despite the fact that GOAT is such a well known expression and discourse, making that choice maybe on purpose) and a lot of people seem to have been answered with that in mind (at least if we are generous)but in this context, best = greatest.
It is not, it is over multiple axis (something really great can have little direct obvious influence outside inspirational because of how hard it is to pull off and repeat, to use something like your example above Titanic is one of the greatest movie ever but arguably had a small amount of people trying to repeat the magic to a very mixed result because of how costly and hard to do it is, while The Raid 1-2 seem to have had an obvious giant direct one). Influence-popularity does not define greatness, but is almost an minority requirement for it.if influence is what defies greatness
