Reddit's Top 250 Videogames of all time! (As voted by r/gaming) (self.gaming)

submitted ago* by avocados_number

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It would be so awesome if r/gaming had a Top 250 like the one r/movies has! I am not seeing one anywhere, so let's make it!

A few guidelines to make this work well:

  • Each game title you submit should be it's own top level comment. Discussion is welcome and encouraged in the replies!
  • Use ctrl-f to search for the game you want to nominate. If it has already made the list, upvote it; if it's not there, post it!
  • Submit the game title as opposed to a reference the game (e.g. "Portal", not "The cake is a lie")
  • Anything considered a videogame is a valid submission.

I will get things started with a few titles and then hopefully this thing will BLOW UP!!!

Edit: This is awesome! It has come to my attention that the good people at r/GameRanks have been up to this for a while! AWESOME SUBREDDIT. Would like to see that on the r/gaming sidebar or something...

I feel the results on this one will be skewed. The ones that were submitted early will be voted to the top. A lot of people wont take the time to read through the rest of the submissions.

Edit: Skewed instead of skewered.

        For its revolutionary new Online Game play that proved that not all MMOs have to be WoW-esque, or even function remotely similarly to the rest of the popular online games of today.

        [–]LakeSolon 13 points14 points ago

        sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

        EVE Online predates WoW (though to be fair, you said "WoW-esque" and there certainly were WoW-esque MMOs before WoW or EVE).

        [–]konatals 8 points9 points ago

        sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

        I just look at the MMO selection nowadays and it seels to be 49% WoW-clones, 49% "free-to-play" (usually WoW clones) and 2% completely original content/gameplay.

        [–]inferno719 7 points8 points ago

        Lol. WoW-clones indeed. Can you spell "Rift" children?

            This is my #3 all time game and isn't #1 only because it's often fun as an ideal more so than in reality. I currently have 4 subbed accounts and am a huge fanboi but still have a hard time actually finding a consistent "good time" despite playing since beta. Usually the "good times" find me at random and I can't just sit down any time and have a blast playing. POS bashing/SOV grind/logistics/etc can be fun when you're emotionally invested in a campaign but TBH, in reality it's usually extremely boring. Luckily when those golden PvP moments happen, it makes everything worth it x 10000000000.

            The game itself for what it is and its base core isn't the selling point of what makes EVE awesome. Its the alliance and our alliance bros whom we all interact/fight/welp together, establishing emotional/social ties and connections over time is what makes this game so UNIQUE.

            These bonds can form as trust that we would truely have each others backs and support, wether it be a real life problem or relying on each other to band together to fight against an enemy invasion of our soverign space in game where our very way of life/culture in EVE can be in real jepordy. The consequence? Our alliance crumbling, scattered or subjecated as a vassal alliance where our new overlords would force us to learn Russian and speak it on team speak.(Ok maybe the last part will never happen :P)

            Seriously this is closest thing in a video game we can get to be on par with the bond/kinship that real life marines have for each other.

            In a nutshell EVE(either within TEST or your own alliance) is like an extender social circle except we get to fly INTERNET SPACESHIPS in the process.

                  I think that only upvotes should count, not downvotes. Like dont have the downvotes included, im sure you can see the number of upvotes alone if you have RES.

                  I say this because its unfair if people go around downvoting others hoping that it will make their fav game get up the list a bit

                    This game taught me:

                    • Ancient History
                    • New words like "quarry" and "regency"
                    • I didn't know about CRTL+C so I had to type out those cheat codes. By the time I was in high school computer class I was the fastest typer at 80WPM. All the kids made fun of me and said it's natural when you're Asian :(
                    • Strategy development by failure and persistence: playing on the hardest mode in campaign teaches your every click counts.

                    This game is great because it's what games should be: educational as they are fun. Most TV shows growing up offered some sort of moral lesson --Boy Meets World, Captain Planet, Doug, GI Joe-- and AoK continued that trend into video games.

                        I purchased this randomly when I was out shopping with my mom, when I was like 10 (mainly because it was, like $15 when it first came out). Oh. My. God. One of the best tycoon/sim games ever.

                                        Its too bad there aren't categories for this contest, this one has huge nostalgia factor and is probably the first video game for a lot of r/gaming.

                                          I had an unfathomable amount of hours pumped into this game, I had done practically everything there was to do. Getting both wraith guards, to capturing Vivic's soul in azura's star. Then my x-box died on me, and all of my glorious saves along with it. And I knew that if given the chance I would dump another unmeasurable amount of time into Morrowind. So I gave the game to a friend, told him to keep it, and vowed that if he ever caught me playing Morrowind he had permission to cut off my hands.

                                          tl dr: addicting to the point I vowed to cut off my own hands if I ever picked it up again.

                                                Lots of people still play UT99 IG and weaps which is surprising for a 12 year old game. There are decent sized communities hanging out on irc.utchat.com #MLIG and #MLUT. The game is still pretty active, if anyone wants a link to dl it come on IRC or hit me up with a pm.

                                                      The "Better Goldeneye" although needless to say this game already had very strong foundations with Goldeneye.

                                                      I dare say it's better than Goldeneye.

                                                            The final battle alone makes this the greatest game.

                                                            The first RPG I ever played, and it totally changed how thought about video games.

I can't stand it myself but I really just can't pin point why I hate it so much. I was fairly indifferent towards it when it first came when I was a kid but now I pretty much outright hate it...

Each time i tried it a different style. The last time i played it my whole team was ninjas except for the npcs. It took forever, but it was so funny at the end.

                                                                                                      Diablo I had the better atmosphere, and I still feel kind of scared just thinking about it.

Yes, it's two games stuck together end-to-end, figuratively and literally, but together they are an outright better game on all fronts than Sonic 2.
