If they wanted one Fire Emblem why choose Fates, that's something I'm genuinely curious about

BotW doesn't deserve the #1 spot imo, but it should be top 10..
There's something wrong with every game. I think the highs of BoTW cancel most of its shortcomings.
i think edge's own explanation is entirely clear. it's a list of the 100 best games to play today, as judged by edge's critics. it's not a personal list, nor is it objective (as if such a thing were remotely possible).
it's just a list of legitimately great games that everyone should make the effort to check out. would you say anything on the list doesn't meet that criteria? don't overthink it.
Witcher 3 at 55 and Far Cry 4 at 54..haha alright.
Happy to see Horizon there though, probably a bit high though.
Destiny at 36 is pretty crazy also.
Yeah, there are better Castlevania games that could have chosenSOTN at 70? I am sorry, but that is pure nonsense
Edit: no Pac-Man CE DX on the list?!
Furthermore, as someone who's played FFVII, if you're willing to look past the graphics the game is still a blast to play. Generally 2D ages better than 3D, but the materia system is great and the tons of Easter eggs/mini games are a delight.
It just shows how much 'brand' plays into lists like these. Final Fantasy is at a low point with its brand so now people are saying what was once hailed as the greatest game ever "was never actually good" whereas Zelda is at a high point with its brand (and rightly so) so it is called the greatest game ever made.Furthermore, as someone who's played FFVII, if you're willing to look past the graphics the game is still a blast to play.

Hmm, not sure what to think of that. Happy for Zelda, but quite a number of absent SNES titles there too.
Galaxy 2 over Mario 64?!
These millennial raters...
can't trust any list that thinks Bayonetta 2 is a better game that Bayonetta 1
Metroid Prime at 72? And it's the only Prime game on the list? Are you on crack?
F-Zero GX at 90? CoD4 at 82? Wind Waker, Majora's Mask and Link to the Past in the 30's and not even a mention of (the far superior) Twilight Princess?
Why are they saying only one game per series with straight up sequels, and then have 5 Mario and Zelda games?
can't trust any list that thinks Bayonetta 2 is a better game that Bayonetta 1
Both Galaxy games are better than 64 imo.
Hopefully Mario Odyssey even moreso cuz that kinda is the real 64 successor.
Decent list. No Splatoon anywhere is meh but whatever. Nice some of the Metroid games made it tho.
There is so much wrong with that list that I could make a thread about it.
Only one Final Fantasy? And it's XII?
No Bayonetta? Didn't Edge give it a 10?
No Mario Galaxy? Didn't Edge give that a 10 as well?
Metroid Prime at 72?
Minecraft at 11?
Destiny in the top 40?
Destiny anywhere in the list?
No Persona 5?
I can only say nani so many times.
I'm in complaining mood today so I marked games bold I think don't belong on that list at this time in gaming (or that high).
Best games out of that list:
2. Dark Souls
5. Bloodborne
8. Super Mario Galaxy 2
10. Resident Evil 4
90. F-Zero GX
72. Metroid Prime
40. Shadow of the Colossus
38. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
29. The Last Guardian
27. Ico
26. Super Metroid
25. Demon's Souls
21. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
14. Super Mario 64
All of these deserve a place in the top 10.
Going by their rules, only one FF, Bayonetta or Galaxy game is eligible. Though I'd argue that, despite the numbers, FF games are not traditional sequels.
Also, XII is the best FF anyway.

EDIT: HOLY FUCK NO CHRONO TRIGGER
They picked Bayo 2, Galxy 2 (both tens as well) and Persona 4 over other games in the series.
But C'mon, just XII? I like the game too but, XII?Going by their rules, only one FF, Bayonetta or Galaxy game is eligible. Though I'd argue that, despite the numbers, FF games are not traditional sequels.

Edge just don't like JRPGs that much. They never have. That's why the most wrpg ff game is the only one on the list.I'm sorry, but XII isn't the best FF. X, IX and VII are better than XII.
