Well⌠are we talking official Tetris guideline, or Sega/Arika Tetris, or Nintendo Tetris, orâŚ
The ideal form of Tetris from which all other Tetrises are descended.
I donât think anyone plays Tetris anymore except a dedicated competitive group, itâs been totally supplanted in the play-and-go category by Candy Crush and similar phone games. Why bother lauding what is functionally now a historical note
Tetris doesnât convert to touchscreens like Bejeweled (from which Candy Crush derived) did. Iâd hardly put that against the game design, though.
Thatâs fine, but again, these Best Of lists which usually put Tetris in the top five applaud the gameâs perfect simplicity, replayability, and ease of access, all of which donât matter if itâs hardly being played anymore, unless the point of the list is, again, historically- rather than endurance-based
wtf everyone still plays tetris, i just played it YESTERDAY and i am not in some competitive thingy
I donât think itâs useful to define âbestâ solely by objectively measurable factors like player count.
But itâs probably not useful to take a âbest ofâ listing very seriously, either.
also polygon has hilariously bad taste
they rarely go harder on âp4k but for actual nerdsâ than this
A top 500 games list would only seem to exist to be able to publish a top games list while minimizing blowback, hate, and threats from Gamers.
What is the point of a list where you donât talk about why itâs been placed where it has or what makes it genuinely special or interesting, but just kind of ramble off a couple bullet points from the first paragraph on Wikipedia and the back of the gameâs box?
Just once I wish someone would put something totally unexpected on the top of one of these dumb lists and then defend that choice as if everyone already knew it was true
Like, fuckin, of course Air Zonk is the greatest videogame ever made, what do you mean
If you put up an obscure untranslated Japanese game as Number One Best Game Ever According To Major Game Website, a fan translation project would probably happen. You have this power, list makers.
Puyo Puyo Tetris is the best game, yes
500 video games? Guess they made some real tough choices. Tremble with fear at the game that got left out.
500 games is a catalog not a list. Like that 1000 games to play before you die book (hi aerisdead!).
Anything of interest or critical value is lost in the other 400 fucking games.
The EGM issue 100 list is the only good list.
These things do have value because people/kids can use them as guidance on what of the 40,000 video games that exist to play.
Polygon:Bioshock is a good game.
I concede I have a private list of about 280 but it is unranked
megaman 8 is the best megaman game. how come they just forgot about duo. why is megaman short again. is this a âclassic sonic and modern sonic are brothersâ thing
dr light had to reboot him after he got too tall
I guess thatâs not as bad as I thought
Grum: ah, we would, of course, consider, something to that effect, possibly, in the future, if the stars align, perhaps, given the chance
Woodland Dracula: That quote is an exemplary case of femininity needing justification whereas masculinity is the pre-approved default, just like anything that is pitted against types of normativity. You need a 50,000 word manifesto on why videogame has black person
Grum: whatâs the point of this character being a woman
what are you trying to pull
Woodland Dracula: Canât get political
Anyway, Mega Man shouldnât ever get another female robot master. I canât think of a series that deserves female inclusivity less. It must forever remain the most generic platformer in the universe so I can continue to not care to the maximum
