According to PC Gamer's latest issue (top 100 games of all time), Skyrim ranked an astonishing 2nd place (losing to Portal at #1). While I do agree it is an amazing game, #2 seems a little over the top. Thoughts?

No wai man i haz a time machn an in tha year 2022 thay say Skyrim was still teh best

Planescape: Torment is the number one game of all time.

I think Skyrim just replaced Final Fantasy VII as "most overrated game" of all time.

According to this, it made #61. Baldur's Gate didn't even make the list, which I find nothing less than horrific.

Opinions are like a@@holes... everyone has one!

I do think Skyrim is the best game I have played in recent memory, and I have played all the other TES games going back to Arena too, never could get into portal, don't see the fuss.

Ah! Another Tormented fan....I thought we were all but extinct.

What is Portal?
I don't really care. Portal doesn't enter anywhere in my top games since I've never even played it. Skyrim, well maybe but probably not top 5.

?!

nah ur thinking metal gear

I too enjoyed the exploits of the nameless one. I bet you didn't know that Nordom the modron was voiced by Dan Castellaneta!

You may need one to get out from the rock you've been living under.

Is this a joke? Portal at number 1? Skyrim at number 2? ...Are you sure it said "all time"?

I don't know Portal either, so I'm not missing it either. So far Skyrim is #1 for me, until the next TES probably!

Yep, "all time." It's a seriously flawed list, like I said Baldur's Gate didn't make the list at all (some of you might not put it in your top 10, but top 100?! COME ON!!!) Half-Life made #38!! 38!!! What the hell is this?!

Batman: Arkham City got 32. Wow.

If Skyrim was given #2 of all time, it better be because games like Chrono Trigger were not included due to the fact that they would automatically win.

I'm telling you, man.

Time travel.

What one has to remember is that gaming mags typically have a core segment of readers and when they make these kinds of lists then their objective is to give the readers what they want. The main readers of PC Gamer probably aren't the few remaining dinosaurs who still remember the greatness of the IE games or Planescape - Torment.

On the other hand, what modern action gamer hasn't tried Portal? As it happens, I haven't, but at least I've heard that it's supposed to be great and innovative, even if you don't get to blow things up, cut them into small pieces, or burn them to a cinder. And since I don't get to do any of those things, I'm really not interested in the game at all.

If the author of that list honestly think that Skyrim is the second best PC game of all time then he's literally got [censored] in his brain, but of course he can't say that it's a overhyped game that starts out great but fails to deliver. All the casual gamers who read PC Gamer would get upset, gamesas would get upset, and nothing good would come of what would otherwise be honest journalism. Well, nothing good for PC Gamer anyway.

This!! Also Mario 3!!!

It's a list from a rag called PC gamer. Let me repeat that for you: PC Gamer. Last I checked, CT was a console game that wasn't ever released on PC.

In my opinion it is the #1 game of ALL TIME

Of course it doesn't deserve second place...
of ALL times? Noooooooooo....

For some people, it could be...
Not for me.
Skyrim is amazing, but it lacks a lot...
FO:NV did the RPG elements better.

Well list of supposedly great games I've never played is quite long.
Never played Sonic, supermario, donkey kong
Did play Doom once, got very bored very quickly
If it isn't RPG or strategy I won't have played it (and I'm not that keen on RTS either)

Portal came first? well, it is just their opinion and i disagree with it.

The moment you could emulate CT on PC made CT > Skyrim as a PC game.

But, to take directly from PC games...

TRIBES
Half Life 2
Counter Strike
Team Fortress 2
Unreal
Quake
DOOM
Marathon

All should be higher than Skyrim.

And that's just in the FPS game category.
