@axel Maybe an "Ineligible But Not Forgotten" category?

And Hollow Knight could be the first, last, and the whole damn category?

Joking about the last part.

A wise man once spoke of Invisible Hands regulating the economy and... to cut a long winded analogy short, the best one or two Yakuza titles will probably end up on the list.

I think human nature along with the nature of making a list will naturally regulate same-series titles.

Multiplayer was fun for like 10 hours before it got samey

I feel like the repetitiveness made it feel more competitive because you had rely more on fundamental FPS skills than MW2. I agree with you on the campaign, though.

Thanks for compiling the list @Shoulderguy.

While I haven't played anything from 2015, I'm surprised that Fire Emblem Fates isn't on that list. Was Fates not well-loved by the forum?

Mass Effect 2
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Civilization V
Red Dead Redemption

Honorable Mentions:

God of War III
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Heavy Rain
Call of Duty: Black Ops

Maybe next time Travees. No More Heroes 2, one could say, was a hail mary attempt.

I'm legit surprised that Black Ops didn't make the list. At that time, it was Treyarch's finest moment.

Mass Effect 2 came out so early in the year and it set the bar so high. It's such a great improvement on the original. It feels as if someone just said, "Let's just take the bad stuff out of the first one. Boom. Done." And it worked!

Been obsessed with this record lately:

Joy Division - Closer

Youtube Video

I've got ten hours left of TLOU 2 and, for me, Doom Eternal is still GOTY so far. I want to get RE3 and FF7 Remake but I'm waiting for both of those games to go on sale.

Quantic Dream's games are so odd to me. On one hand, I often find myself at odds with most of the things David Cage says. Particularly, I find it annoying how he oversells the stories in his games. Then, when they are released, the stories are full of plot holes, lazy writing/stereotypes, and other oddities.

That being said, whenever I watch the trailers, reviews, and clips of Quantic Dream's games I am compelled to try them. And, despite my opinions of David Cage and how disjointed the stories often are, I end up enjoying their games a lot.

This is a pretty weird list. lol

I'm diggin it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

This is the first list that, at this point, I haven't played any of the games. Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors is also completely new to me.

Interesting list so far. I'm surprised that so many of these games came out in 2010. A lot of them don't feel ten years old.
