The GRcade Years - Top 50 Games - Results! Top 5

Great to see the final list! I wanted to see where all my votes placed, so to make that easier I edited the list in the OP to more of a straight list:

My position - List position
1 - 1 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2 - 5 The Last of Us
3 - 7 Uncharted 2
4 - 38 Celeste
5 - 20 Fallout: New Vegas
6 - DNP Mount and Blade: Warband
7 - DNP Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
8 - 14 Civilization V
9 - DNP Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
10 - DNP The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I got 3 of the top 10, not bad!

Doing the same thing shows that half of my list placed, with two of them bookmarking the entire list.

[1] Forza Horizon 3 - 43rd
[2] Pokémon Omega Ruby - No Listing
[3] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Techincally 12th
[4] LoZ: Breath of the Wild - 1st
[5] GTA V - 3rd
[6] Sonic Generations - No Listing
[7] Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 - No Listing
[8] Super Mario Odyssey - 2nd
[9] Elite: Dangerous - No Listing
[10] LEGO City Undercover - No Listing

Not bad, really.

From the top 5, RDR and GTAV are the ones that stand out to me as overplaced, and I think RDR has been pushed up by hype for the sequel. GTAV is expected with how absolutely huge it is, but then I'd have thought it would be on par with Skyrim.

I went back and counted the RDR votes. Nine, with about half of them being top of the lists. It's certainly possible the hype from the sequel brought it up a few for some, but I'm not entirely sure.

I don't really like open world sandbox games like GTA and RDR and find most Mario games a bit too "Nintendo-y", As for Zelda games, they've been all pretty much the same since OoT -decent enough but vastly overrated by rabid fans.

Alien Isolation didn’t make the top 50 :fp:

To be fair, he(?) thinks “Nintendo-y” is a bad thing. The rest of us might have to readjust our understanding of his posts.

I think as admins of forums based on Nintendo magazines, we might get accused of bias Balla

Hey, my top two were BotW and SMO. GRcade itself has declared me unbiased!

I like Nintendo stuff as much as a massive Sega fan possibly can but there's just something about Mario games that doesn't click with me.
