For those that don't want to go to IGN, I gotcha.

100 - 81

Spoiler

100- Ape Escape
099- Crash Team Racing
098- Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
097- Tearaway
096- Death Loop
095- Jak 2
094- LocoRoco
093- Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
092- Lumines
091- Syphon Filter
090- Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
089- Pro Evolution Soccer 6
088- Patapon 3
087- Horizon: Zero Dawn
086- Doom: Eternal
085- SSX Tricky
084- Tetris Effect
083- Kingdom Hearts 2
082- Monster Hunter World
081- Medal of Honor: Frontline

I guess I'll give some thoughts on each group as I list them. 1 thing that stuck out off the rip, multi-platformers. If you're going to do this I think you gotta be honest with yourself. Does ________ really play better on Playstation or Xbox or Nintendo. If it's on here just because it's on said console, that's wack. And then there's Death Loop. I haven't played it, but from what I've seen of it... I don't know, chief. It wouldn't make my list.

80- Hotline Miami
79- Killzone 2
78- Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth
77- Ridge Racer Type 4
76- Returnal
75- Driver
74- Little Big Planet
73- Yakuza 0
72- Need for Speed: Underground 2
71- Helldivers 2
70- Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
69- Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
68- Bully
67- Katamari Damacy
66- Devil May Cry
65- Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain
64- Rocket League
63- Destiny
62- PaRappa the Rapper
61- Hitman: World of Assassination

So I'm raising my eyebrow at Killzone 2. The game that was suppose to be the Halo "killer". I don't know, chief. And then I'm also raising my eyebrow at Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. I haven't played it yet, and at the end of the day it's a "me" problem. Right now I don't like the idea of having remakes and originals in. It's one or the other (not saying the original is in or not, but you know IGN and whatnot).

40- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
39- Astro Bot
38- Tomb Raider
37- Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
36- Nier: Automata
35- Burnout 3: Takedown
34- Dishonored 2
33- Okami
32- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
31- Final Fantasy 10
30- Suikoden 2
29- Resident Evil
28- Mass Effect 2

26- God of War: Ragnarok
25- Persona 5 Royal
24- Resident Evil 4 (2023)
23- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
22- Portal 2
21- Call of Duty 4: Mondern Warfare

I don't know if I like Tekken 3 being the fighting game representative here. Sounds like people trying to appease to fighting game fans in my opinion. I understand the impact it made, but at the same time we also have current games like how Resident Evil 4 has a remake, so I feel like any other fighting game that came out within the last 15-20 years could be here. Too many Grand Theft Autos, Metal Gears, Final Fantasies. Dishonored top 30? Interesting.

I do roll my eyes at this, but at the same time when it comes to souls and last of us I'm always gonna roll my eyes because it just comes off as too predictable at that point (especially coming from IGN). That being said, I don't think it's a bad list. Just rearrange some of the choices. I do respect the Gran Turismo pick (I probably would've said GT5 though). The lack of Devil May Cry is boggling though. Personally, I don't think MGS1 holds up, gameplay I've become too accustomed to modern controls, but that's just me though.

I'm always gonna be a sucker for these lol. Thoughts?

[Dr. Insomniac]

At least Kojima gets his flowers?

[Mustang]

Lol, fair enough.

[Daxdiv]

No Gravity Rush games, no Sly Cooper games, no Infamous games, No MediEvil, nu-God of War ranking high. This list sucks.

[Avaitor]

Feels very normie, in a largely derogatory way.

[Mustang]

Definitely a very normie list lol. Kinda Funny had me cracking up with their reaction to it.

[Daikun]

Aww, no Pepsiman?

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Yes, this does in fact look like a list that IGN would make.

[Mustang]

Yeah, I don't want to say "crazy part is", but I'll just say it's crazy how no one from IGN is even owning up to the list either lol. Waiting on shows just to see if they even address the list at all. Beyond is their Playstation Podcast and they said nada lol.

I understand trying to duck and dodge the comment section (I hate it. Get in the trenches and go back and forth with your audience), but to not even talk about on your premiere playstation podcast/show? Not even a promotion? Really? "Chuckle"
