Actually I realize now why it's harder to say that about a game that's more recent. You don't have any negative associations with the fanbase when the game was released 20 years ago. Whether you admit it or not, a lot of you let the fans impact your judgement on the game itself when you know you shouldn't.

Is Bloodborne too new to be considered GOAT?

It's genuinely the closest game i've came to a 3D castlevania.

>that level design
>that fucking setting
>that atmosphere
>that combat
>THAT FUCKING LOVECRAFTIAN TWIST

It's genuinely the best game i've played, Witcher 3 might have won more awards but I don't know, Bloodborne just hit the right notes for me. It was so fucking good. Witcher 3 is fun and all but the setting is so fucking generic ("b-but it's a lot darker than generic Tolkien bullshit!") that I always crave the criminally underused lovecraftian/victorian england setting found in Bloodborne.

If only it was on PC for that 60fps

The list is about 4 best games of all time right? As in, regardless of genre. Or am I misunderstanding it? RPGs are the best games for my tastes, by quite far. By your logic everyone has a bias because they pick certain games that are more like each other than the rest.

Ocarina doesn't even have a super engaging story to begin with. Majora's Mask is way more interesting.

lmao this is /v/, Anon. You should know that alone isn't what makes a game great.

The fact that a game is consequential to another doesn't make that game's story less interesting. Plus, Ocarina wasn't the first game to have a semblance of a story in videogames. Your arguments and lack thereof don't make any sense
>>
>>339337054
>The fact that a game is consequential to another doesn't make that game's story less interesting.
Just because Beethoven 7 is objectively better than 3 in pacing and counterpoint doesn't mean that it's more significant and greater as a result.
>Plus, Ocarina wasn't the first game to have a semblance of a story in videogames.
"Semblance" of course it wasn't.
But it was way more than a semblance.
>>
>>339337234
What? Your argument was that because Ocarina came out before Majora's Mask, it's better. you were also saying that Ocarina is revolutionary because of its story, which it wasn't. What the fuck are you even talking about?
>>
>>339335450
Majora does a lot of things better but the thing is it doesn't stand on its own as well as ocarina. Without ocarina, majora just wouldn't work

Yakuza is an evolution of Shenmue and beat em ups. Quite frankly I don't understand how you could possibly think Shenmue is superior. Certainly a fantastic game, but it's clunkier, uglier and less feature-filled. Unless it simply has characters, narrative and atmosphere you prefer.
>>
>>339339625
Total annihilation and Supcom are the undisputed pinnacles of rts. Unreal and UT is the best shooter though people will aregue that quake and q3a are better. Mario galaxy is 3d platforming perfection and MGS 3 basically took what one had and went to the limits before the creators went to shit in 4.
>>
>>339333762
Metroid did Metroid better than Super Metroid.

Sunshine did 3D Mario platforming better by the sheer virtue of having free camera control that wasn't limited to 8 angles.

Ocarina of Time simplified combat to locking on and Simon Says.
>>
>>339341485
I liked Shenmue combat balance over Yakuza as well, in Shenmue you get your ass handed by average bully guy if you don't know what you doing, one on one fights are made so they feel like a big thing while yakuza is about over the top button mashing fests and sending 20 guys with poor ai flying around like they were nothing.

I never played that port but i'm guessing wiimote lets you offset the effect of tank controls.

IMO tank controls are fine and the risk/reward of only being able to attack or move and not both contributes significantly to the thrill and feel of the game.
