Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
:thumbsup:

But since they aren't taking it (the multiplayer system is as much an RPG as Final Fantasy amirite?) I'll suggest:
Skyrim
Deus Ex: HR (someone else can suggest the others)

Since V:tM - Bloodlines and The Witcher II have already been suggested, I'd like to add The Witcher and Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption to the list.

I've already broken the one suggestion per person rule but... Megaman 64. It's more of an action RPG, but it's great.

Well yeah, we might like them, but the vote wouldn't know that I liked X game more than Y game, for example. Or that I think X game should be one, and while I like Y game, it should be down at 50 or whatever.

Still, it's the best we can do. We'll know if we're satisfied once we have the final list. Ideally the most accurate way might be to start from the top, make a poll with a questions like "What should be number 1?" with all games as options, "what should be number 2?" with all games as options.

Though that of course is cumbersome and probably impossible.


I think (unless someone comes up with a better system) voting will be first one massive poll with all 100 choices (multiple choice poll so there are enough votes). Then after a time limit the poll goes dead and the bottom ten games will get another poll to rank 100-90, then the next bottom ten.

The vote for number one, then number two thing would be better but anti climactic. Although if no-one has a problem with number one being given away first it will be that.

We could start it from the bottom instead then? It sounds weird... And hard to manage... I guess if we make our individual lists of 100 and vote according to those from the bottom up... I wouldn't mind making my own list out of a given set of options, we would have to assume everyone else has the time and patience to do something like that too though, which is again, improbable, but we would have to roll with it.

Oblivion is 21 and 51, just pointing that out.

[Know what, i am going to say Two Worlds, not to be controversial, but because if you ignore the absolutely dire VA, animations and graphics, there is a load of customisation, crafting, quests with choices or that can be failed, variety of enemies, a large enough map, and it does the Codex (yeah, I know) caveat of 'doesn't scale to your level', try entering Ram cave at a low level. And the loot often conforms to the challenge. In fact, if you ignore all the poor state of the things we are apparently not allowed to like about Skyrim, it has a lot of the things that allegedly should be in Skyrim.]

21 or 51? Both?

Edit: He's right, it's both. :/

The 100 to one system sounds a lot better, I think we'll go with that.

Will list

I'm surprised Deus Ex and Dragon Age: Origins havent been suggested yet. I think they should be added.

Damn right. There was a thread the other day telling someone thinking of getting for the xbox that it is short and lacks replay value, but even if it was, at 400 MS points, I would say that's a steal for something with a different setting to the usual sci fi and European themed fantasy.
