[UPDATE ] The winner :

 

[GHG]

Something tells me these two choices won't go down too well here.

 

[R6Rider]

Just looking over their layout of the bracket and it's awful. You should pit a series against itself early on.

If I had to pick between these two games, I'd pick GTA V, but San Andreas is better.

 

[mansoor1980]

GOW for me

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Brackets should have been divided by genre. Fortnite would have won the whole thing if anyone at IGN was conscious.

 

[killatopak]

This is a hard pick.

Could really go either way. Probably will depend if you are a big GTAO guy.

 

[Esca]

Barf

 

[Great Hair]

 

[AlteredForms]

God Of War 2018 made it this far? Pahahaha!

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Easily GOW. GTA5 isn't even in the top three of all GTAs.

 

[Astral Dog]

god God of War 2018?yikes i can understand GTA V winning fan poll due to its massive popularity and fun openworld, but this feels like a joke battle

 

[Evilms]

those who voted tomb raider and apex are probably the new generation, they did not know half life 2 & metroid

 

[skneogaf]

What has NeoGaf voted as the best ever game?

Wow tetris vs bloodborne and bloodborne won.

Those two games are absolutely perfect 10/10 games.

 

[SpokkX]

GoW 2018 best game ever?

omfg that is just stupid. It was good but really flawed - especially the level design suffered, it was so obviously constrained by the ps4 slow drive.. small areas with lots of corridors/climbing/squeezing for loading. That makes the game age quite badly

 

[Fbh]

More people surprised about GOW?
At least it doesn't have shit tier gameplay and mission design like GTA.

 

[lmimmfn]

Its shows what the gaming industry has become, jez

 

[Fake]

Bloodborne > GoW 2018. Sry.

What has NeoGaf voted as the best ever game?

Wow tetris vs bloodborne and bloodborne won.

Those two games are absolutely perfect 10/10 games.

I guess Witcher 3. No complains from me.

I looked at all the brackets and... damn. IGN core audience can't be older than 16. Batman winning over Mario 64.

 

[makaveli60]

Both of them are awesome games, but really?

 

[R6Rider]

I looked at all the brackets and... damn. IGN core audience can't be older than 16. Batman winning over Mario 64.

Nobody cares about Mario from 1964.

/s

 

[Buggy Loop]

Chrono Trigger lost to Burnout????

Useless list. Shitty voters. Probably spammed by astrosurfers.

 

[mercclass]

I'm not a big nintendo fan however more power to them for getting so many exclusives into the bracket. However this was an IGN thing.

 

[Evilms]

as surprising as it may seem, for the moment GOW is ahead

 

[Fake]

IGN is baiting people so common this week. IDK why. IGN has to be the most fanboy war site of the universe. Maybe they change the ADM of the social media to bait consolers because they give clicks.

Reminds me this weekend IGN video title:

 

[a multicultural team of v]

I'm not sure what is worse, Batman Arkham City beating Super Mario 64, Pokemon Yellow, and Dark Souls, or BOTW beating FF7, Resident Evil 4, Super Mario 3, AND Bloodbourne.

God of War and GTAV are bad finalists, but at least when you look at their individual wins it kind of makes sense that they made it.

[envyzeal]

I always start a GOAT list/tournament by searching where's Chrono Trigger. This was my biggest surprise ever.
That bracket is complete trash.

 

[Thirty7ven]

I’m just glad it’s not fucking Zelda, you can always count on the Nintendo fanbase to get behind it en mass.

Guess GTA5 will win now, but if God of War wins then holy shit, that would say a lot about the strength of the brand ATM.

 

[Great Hair]

those who voted tomb raider and apex are probably the new generation, they did not know hal life 2 & metroi

I can live with this.

If I had to pick between these two games, I'd pick GTA V, but San Andreas is better.

The Neogaf one was far worse.

As for the winner here... NOBODY.

I thought this stupid low hanging fruit impossible trash content was strictly in the realm of "We're having a bracket for no reason every day" Gamefaqs. I guess everyone's doing the trash now.

God of War 2018 was great fun but it was mired in bullshit of having to have that brat everywhere, Kratos is a strong enough character to stand alone.

GTA V is the worst one in the series.

 

[catvonpee]

I don't think either of those games are best of all-time. They were both just okay.

 

[Bartski]

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Is this some kind of joke? LMFAO

 

[elliot5]

popularity contest lol. I loved god of war, and it's one of my favorites, but idk about greatest of all time. Definitely not GTAV jesus

 

[K' Dash]

I'm not sure what is worse, Batman Arkham City beating Super Mario 64, Pokemon Yellow, and Dark Souls, or BOTW beating FF7, Resident Evil 4, Super Mario 3, AND Bloodbourne.

God of War and GTAV are bad finalists, but at least when you look at their individual wins it kind of makes sense that they made it.

BOTW curb stomping that amateur hack job that is bloodbourne is no surprising at all.

the whole thing is a joke anyway... an entertaining joke.

 

[93xfan]

Something tells me these two choices won't go down too well here.

Of all time? Absolutely not.

Mario 3
Mario 64
Final Fantasy 7
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Halo 3

As great as those 2 games are, it’s hard to even briefly consider them for best of all time

 

[Captain Toad]

Something tells me these two choices won't go down too well here.

God of War is a good choice, at least. I don't know about greatest game of all-time, but that's always going to be controversial.

 

[Saber]

I think those two are loved for very distinct reasons.

But the if they take the fun aspect to a count, I think GTA wins every contest of will.

 

[Salmon]

GOW?! Played it for a couple of hours and quit it and never picked it up again. Felt like a early year 2000 game mechanic wise. And dont't even mention the millions of invisible walls all around the game. It's laughable!

So GTAV then (even if it's far from the best game ever)

 

[tommib]

Depressing.

 

[R6Rider]

The Neogaf one was far worse.

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

 

[GHG]

Of all time? Absolutely not.

Mario 3
Mario 64
Final Fantasy 7
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Halo 3

A great of games as those are, it’s hard to even briefly consider them for best of all time

I agree, for the ones you listed.

 

[LimanimaPT]

Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are not even on the starting list? What a fail...

 

[tommib]

More people surprised about GOW?
At least it doesn't have shit tier gameplay and mission design like GTA.

It has an absolute terrible camera though. You’re constantly moving the camera to see who’s behind you or beside you. The field of view is too narrow and Kratos dominates a third of the screen size.

 

[Mr Moose]

Out of those two it's God of War, though not sure how either made it to the final.

 

[LimanimaPT]

No Dead Space? Double fail...

 

[Topher]

GOW is a truly great game. GOAT? I don't think so. Not even the greatest Sony game of all time.

And the competition is GTA V?
