These lists always suck because they are based off Nostalgia, i will say that Ocarina of time was one of the greatest games for its time... but really every Zelda after that was better... instead of rating games by what made us feel better at that time we shuld be rating on which one... as we speak has a better, more updated engine, and smooth gameplay. If you give someone whos never played a zelda before, the newest zelda to play right now, he would have a better time than if u gave him the first one.
Its easy to say final fantasy 7 awsome but 12 did have more content, the only things that can make a game timeless is story. And final fantasy 7 has a place in my heart for its villain, but its not more fun to play than 12...
If you remove the story completely and give resident evil 4 and resident evil 5 to someone, well even though resident evil 5 didn't add that many things to the formula, ITS STILL BETTER, smoother gameplay, better guns, more monsters, more upgrades, more modes. I mean games aren't like movies, the code gets updated, every generation of games is better, movies can only improve on their cinematography from the old days.
Kotor however is one of those examples that because of the overwhelming story, even if the gameplay isnt as good as kotor 2, the story bashes the second one down the drain because of the huge satisfaction you got from the first one.
But seriously saying Doom is better than Doom 3... is just straight out ridiculous... instead of being nostalgic we should focus on how things are right now, the present, Which one IS actually better. Doom isn't so much about story as it is about scares and shooting, and doom 3 does it better.
Of course theirs exceptions to this because sometimes when people try to revamp the code they leave holes and create lots of glitches that can ruin a game experience completely.
Im probably not going to get good looks from this post so might as well add on to it. Beatles started something, doesn't mean their music was better, actually if u get their compositions in todays world... its just shit, linear crap most bands can compose anyway, they are just remembered for being revolutionary in their time because they were the first.
