Since it's a slow day in the office and people here are complaining about this not being an enthusiast gaming forum, I decided to go ahead and compile some of the greatest OTs this forum has ever seen. Suggestions are welcome. Let's have some fun digging through the archives.
PS: With one notable exception, I won't quote any of my own OTs here.
So:
#10 - Assassin's Creed II - PS3/XB360 (2009)
www.neogaf.com
From the back in the days when people still used IGN screenshots,.
#9 - Valkyria Chronicles 2 - PSP (2010)
www.neogaf.com
What a nice little thread, with the OP even including codes on how to unlock characters in the game. Crazy to think it's over 10 years old.
#8 - Nier - PS3/XB360 (2010)
www.neogaf.com
Love the fact the OP included a flowchart to help you decide which version is the best!
#7 - The Witcher 3 - PS4/XBO/PC (2015)
www.neogaf.com
The Witcher 3's third OT is a great example of a classy, useful thread. The OP is amazing and the commentary was great.
#6 - Far Cry 3 - PS3/XB360/PC (2012)
www.neogaf.com
We had a lot of packed OTs at that time, but this one is still one of my favorites. Including profile pics for people to use at the end is a nice touch as well. Some hilarious posts as well.
#5 - Bioshock Infinite - PS3/XB360/PC (2013)
Stellar OT, a pity all image links are broken now.
#4 - Cyberpunk 2077 - XBO/PS4/PC (2020)
www.neogaf.com
At the risk of sounding immodest, this OT was a lot of fun to create. Worked on by five people at different times, it includes assets, deep lore explanations, great GIFs... Hats off to all the people who helped!
#3 - Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn - PS3/PC (2013)
www.neogaf.com
One of my favorites of all time for the sheer amount of information. The images are mostly all missing now, after so many years, but the content is still top notch. Scroll down for the text version.
#2 - Final Fantasy XII - The Zodiac Age - PC, XBO, PS4 (2017)
www.neogaf.com
Possibly one of the last big threads of old GAF. Great info.
#1 - Skyrim - PS3/XB360/PC (2011)
www.neogaf.com
Absolutely fantastic OT. One of the best ever. I particularly like the part where he dives into TES lore. This is the gold standard.

Feel free to post your suggestions, memories, etc. I love going through old OTs for information when replaying something older.
