What is the best video game of all time?
>>339968080

>>339968080
That one.
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt
>>339968635
Hope I get a hot one
>>339968694
Bitcher Pee: Mild Cunt
jesus christ rpg trilogy
The Binding of Isaac:Afterbirth
Vagrant Story is a game I never expected myself to play since I thought it would be shitty and turned base. Turned out to be the best RPG I have ever played

Factually? Like if trillion people who have never heard of video games were forced to play every single videogame in the history, but after each one they must give it a score from 0 to 100 and their memory is erased before they play the next one, and the game with closest score to 100 wins?

>>339969269
Yes. And it would be OoT, if you forced those people to 100% the game.
>>339968080
Legend of Zelda:actually it's Chrono Trigger
>>339969269
How could they give them a numeric rating with no point of reference? What if they're amazed by all of them so everything gets 100?
>>339969269
100s across the board because "wow interactive entertainment, this is amazing"
>>339969665
Chrono Cross is better IMO
>>339969512
Not today, the game has aged like milk.
>>339969269
If you did that porn games would dominate the scoring system because they'd be so caught up in the applications they wouldn't care at all about the gameplay
>>339969269
Except that wouldn't work as no one would be able to score properly without previous knowledge to compare to.
A player may think game X is great and gives it a score of 90, but what does that mean if that player has never played a game before?
>>339969957
Nope.
>>339970078
They have other frame of reference. Like how /v/ compares games to food. They can liken how much they like a game to how much they like food.
"This is game is like pig hooves!"
>>339970078
>>339970026
>>339969802
>>339969684
How about this:
All trillion of them don't get their minds erased but they all play them in random order. The game with highest average score is the winner.
>>339969269
That would be a super retarded way to do things.
Being ignorant doesn't add weight to one's opinion, in fact it's the opposite.
>>339970550
>Being ignorant doesn't add weight to one's opinion
if it did /v/ would be enlightened
>>339970495
Opinions being more widespread aren't necessarily more right.
If you did something like that, the winner would probably be something rather average and bland, something that is just inoffensive.
Keep in mind that among those trillion people, if chosen at random, you'd end up with a crapload of stupid, education-less random-ass Chinese and Indian farmers.
Also 50% of women and their collective bad tastes.

That's articulating an experience, not judging its quality. Using the numerical system 0-100 was the suggested way to articulate the experience, but no suggestion was given on how the players were to judge the quality of the experience without prior videogame knowledge.
A man who has never eaten cake before may like the cake and describe it as "winning the lottery for my tastebuds," but how is he supposed to judge the quality of the cake if that is the only cake he has eaten?

By other video games.

The only way it would work is if you took the worst game in the world and the best game in the world and used those as the reference points for all other games. Unfortunately you then have to figure out some way to decide what the worst and best game is which brings us back to the initial problem
A solution would be to have everyone just play every game and rate them as normal. Once the best and worst games are chosen you then erase everyone's memory, have them play the worst and best game chosen from the previous rating and the re-rate all the games while adding a -10 and 110 rating for games that are considered better or worse then the best and worst game. Continue in this method, rate>erase>carry over best and worst>rate>repeat. Once a defined pattern emerges that shows a definite best and worst game then you are finished.

There doesn't have to be a reference point. That is formed as they play through ever game in history. The point being that once they play OoT, it will serve as the gold standard with which to measure every other game as "best."
To simplify it, if they can't find a better game than OoT after playing every game after OoT, then OoT is the best game.
>>339968080
You mean the most overrated stupid garbage game of artificial difficulty and waiting of all time.
How was I supposed to know I could use my shield to block shit?

It doesn't work if your reference point changes over time. Earlier games may get judged easier or harsher because the reference point at that time wasn't well defined.
It's time for you to stop saying "the best game ever made" and start saying "my favorite game to play when I was a little kid."
Here's mine.
>>339969809
Not that anon but I'd love to try Chrono Cross, but that early 3D kills me.
>>339972582
Did you not read the post you're replying to?
The reference point doesn't change over time, it's defined by quality.
Get good and stop trying to save the state of the industry today some face.
>>339973396
If OoT is the quality reference point then that reference point will change once a better game is played. If you were suggesting that memory erasing be used and OoT be the only point of reference for each game then you would have the same problem as pointed out earlier that once you found a better game you would lose your point of reference and be unable to rate the game effectively.
If you were only trying to find if a game could be better than OoT then sure, your method work.
