Oh hell, Kara. It begins and ends with Kara. I loved that place. Sure, it was tough to level in BC, but when you got to 70, it was pure MMO goodness.

**EDIT**And how ironic that I have to see a banner for The Old Republic on this thread. What a disappointment.

From the beginning up until the Trials of the Crusader. Vanilla made questing in MMOs so much better, and MC was awesome. The best raiding came in BC. Then Wrath had amazing zones and a great leveling curve.

Then, my kids got too old for me to play hours every day. :)

Well, all I can really say is that I see Xbox Ones available all over the place. I was in Best Buy last night and they had a pile of them sitting in the middle of the aisle. But not a PS4 to be found, not one. That's the way it's been all holiday, I've never seen a PS4 on the shelf.

I realize this may mean nothing at all, but who knows.

I started a thread earlier today that was supposed to be "cute" but sounds assholish in retrospect. My apologies to Brad and the crew and anyone who got the wrong impression from it. I'm really not a jackass, I swear. Just trying too hard to be funny, which is a common failing.

Hasn't Killzone always kinda been the B-side FPS on Sony systems? (Not that they have an A-side FPS...) I pretty much got exactly what I wanted and expected out of it, which is a beautiful FPS with mediocre game play. Hell, I don't like shooters in the first place, so I really just wanted to play it for the PS4 eye candy. I don't think it's anything more or less than middling, kinda like a Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

I love the "you shouldn't discuss this because it doesn't matter" replies. As if anything posted on this forum matters. Come on, man! :)

I don't even play DOTA and even I can see what an achievement it is. I even watched the international without ever having played a game of dota before AND enjoyed it. I've enjoyed daily dota too. I feel like that experience still counts as "playing" the game in a way. They allowed the tools for streaming to be so easy that watching matches is part of the game. It's for sure one of the GOTY.

And Black Flag is just another Assassin's Creed game. Is it a very very good AC game? Sounds like it. But still, you're gonna rank another AC game higher against the game that spawned something as breathtaking as the international? I'm with Brad, Dota is top 5 material easy.

What League of Legends does in esports dwarfs Dota 2 and of course just the influence of the game itself with it reaching a player base that is probably 7 or 8 times bigger than Dota 2's. And every other features like spectator mode and crafting that Brad was raving about have been in other Valve games before, some of them for almost a decade. One impressive event every year does not make it GOTY material, not by a long shot. Especially when there are other similarly impressive events in esports in other games.

AC4 maybe just another AC but Dota 2 is also just another MOBA. It's not the biggest one and none of its main features are new. In that whole argument Brad sounded at best misinformed and at worst delusional. He just can't think rationally when it comes to Dota.

This is also a big issue for me with DOTA 2. The staff seems to have never given LoL any credit, and that bothers me. It's almost like League of Legends doesn't exist to them. It's crazy to me.

To all you people protesting this thread: It may not really matter, but there's no reason we can't have a discussion about how the deliberations went down. Chill out!

Thank you. This is really my goal, not necessarily that game X should be higher or game y should be lower. But I do believe the poor, circuitous way they went through the list really made for some odd final choices. What's the point of having personal top 10 lists, if you're going to fight tooth and nail to get your own, boutique picks on the overall list?

My apologies for the title, I don't think it's actually a poor top 10 overall, I was just trying to be extreme to invite discussion. :) Link baiting, if you will.

Yeah, i kinda think getting Super Mario 3D World out of the list was shitty move. But then, shouldn't you blame them all for agreeing with him cause it's not like he locked the other guys in closet. They were all there.

Although then again, he got Super Mario 3D World thrown out of the list without having played the majority of the game. And it wasn't the fact that that he hadn't played that much, it was more that he got it thrown out for a shitty reason.

And this is what pissed me off. Thank God at least Alex fought the good fight. They totally used Patrick and Papers, Please to manipulate his vote, as he's the only other one who would have fought. I'm also not happy with Jeff's argument that Mario 3D World wasn't challenging enough at the beginning. He should realize that Mario is a game even 5 year olds should be able to play.

Brad barely played Mario, but pushed to get it thrown out.
