Don't reorder them on my behalf! The results are in, the judges are going to have to abide by their decisions.... :lol:

I tried to imagine a situation where a man with a gun was threatening to take away all my games and I could pick just one. After I picked, he would then say, "Surprise, you can take another one" and this would continue until I had chosen fifty times. I don't know why I never grew wise to his method...

I have redone mine with the emphasis on pure enjoyment/obsessive gameplay etc, rather than 'I feel like I should put Bioshock in the top 20 really' standard of before. It's a kinda nonsensical list.

7 Deadly Premonition

The thread has been going for a while now but you might have to get a list in quick if you want Chopper to plug it into his number cruncher. He’s got the bug at the moment!

I don't know that I could do a top 50 anymore. I could barely do a top 100 and ranking them would be impossible with the exception of maybe the top 10.

You see my problem in even considering this nowadays (around 20 more years of gaming than Josh)
I last properly attempted something like this in about 2004 I think.

Same, I'd just be swapping out games I've loved for games I've loved last year. Probably just FFVII Remake and Tshushima from last year.

I have the opposite problem where I only got back into gaming in the last four years or so (and PlayStation games only last year!!), so I keep "discovering" popular titles everyone got over a while ago, and going bananas over them while my experienced gamer friends smile indulgently as they play more esoteric, challenging titles. It's like when your picky-eater friend suddenly discovers new dishes everyone else already knows and asks people if they've "ever heard of kimchee". So my list is very short (I don't think I could even get to 50) and divided evenly between the most generic, boring choices, and nostalgic stuff from the 1990s. I probably have no business making a ranked list at all, compared to everyone here who knows so much about games.

It also doesn't help that I took a huge break from gaming between being a kid and being in my mid twenties so I'm still completely won over by the window-dressing (improvements in graphics and sound and acting over the fifteen or so years I was out of gaming world) and really starry-eyed whenever I play modern AAA games, even if they're maybe generic. So my list won't really have cool, creative "Return of the Obra Din" type titles, because I'm still too easily satisfied by the (probably more superficial) Big Titles.

With that in mind I tried to scrape together a top 20 (and I'm very sorry for rambling on and on!):

1. The Last of Us
2. Red Dead Redemption 2
3. Uncharted 4
4. The Last of Us Part II
5. Spider-Man PS4
6. Horizon Zero Dawn
7. Civilisation II
8. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
9. Fire Emblem Awakening
10. Pokemon Red/Blue
11. Theme Hospital
12. Fire Emblem If
13. SOMA
14. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
15. Taiko no Tatsujin (arcade)
16. Mortal Kombat Trilogy
17. Maimai (arcade)
18. God of War 2018
19. Pokemon X/Y
20. Fire Emblem Three Houses

No gatekeeping here - your list is your list. And a fine list it is too.

Quite similiar in my case... I barely touched a game between going to uni in 2006, and 2017 when I bought a PS4 and a copy of Skyrim Special Edition! I've loved catching up.

As much as it's uncool to like lists like this, I sort of like it as a practice, just to examine how your personal tastes change and what were (in retrospect) titles where you got caught up in recency bias (this isn't judgement, I do it, everyone does it) and aren't quite as great on reexamination (Dragon Age: Inquisition) vs the absolute rocks that not only never budge, but your love for them evolves and gets greater and greater the more time passes (Half-Life 2) and then there's the more complicated "I still love you, but I'm not "in love" with you" relationships (Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid 3) that still feature in my top 100, but would have easily been top 10 in the past. I don't know, I find that stuff interesting.

Thank you for the kind words to a newbie! I have to confess to going through everyone's lists here and adding things to my (ever expanding) to-play list.

Catching up is great, the minute I finally got my hands on a PS console I just got to enjoy about a decade's worth of classics I had missed out on. But the good people at Sony have got me now - my PS4 was free, but I've already started quietly putting money aside for a PS5 in case sequels to franchises I've grown to love/games by my favourite developers* turn out to be PS5 exclusives. (I finally stopped dragging my feet and bought a Switch a year or so ago purely because the latest "Fire Emblem" was a Switch exclusive).

* (I went from "what the hell is Naughty Dog?" to "I will buy everything they make no questions asked" in about six short months)
