Yeah, that's strange. NV is a top 5-7 WRPG of all time, the Mass Effect series arguably doesn't have an A-tier game among them.

Galaxy made it over 2?
There really is justice in the world.
Heyyy, one of my comments finally made it into one of these things.

NV is great, but I like ME-Trilogy more. NV certainly isn't top 5-7 WRPG in my book. Fallout 1+2 alone are still better games.

I wished Galaxy 2 was on top. It was the best game of last generation, but I'll settle with Galaxy being number 1!
Nah. Also it placing over Dark Souls is criminal.

NeoGaf is pretty big. Some people just don't want to vote for frivolous reasons. I also thought he should have extended the deadline because the voting thread got buried during E3.
ballots per gen:
4: 121
5: 192
6: 479
7: 252
6th gen was the first thread, and then it started going backwards. the 7th gen had the second-most participation.

The voting thread wasn't stickied and it got kinda lost in the shuffle especially with all of the E3 threads recently. I only caught it a couple of times on the front page. I almost missed it myself.

Depends I guess. Release day NV was so broken, I'd honestly sympathize with anyone who just refused to play that pile of trash. Content-wise I like NV over all other Fallouts and most WRPGs, including Witcher 3, for that matter. It's hard to just ignore the jank though. It's about on a level with Morrowind I'd say.
I feel like ME offered some weak WRPG content compared to New Vegas or even compared to what Bioware developed in the late 90s and early 2000s.

RE5 in the horror category and TLOU in the TPS category is hilarious.

im the only guy who gave an honourable mention to splinter cell blacklist and conviction? what the fuck has the world come to.
there really should be a mp category, as good as single player games are they can't compare to the hundreds hours of fun to be had in multiplayer

Legitimately shocked dark souls didn't top the list, anyway an expected but solid top 10 of which mgs4 thankfully didn't make thus all is right with the GAF universe.
Great job with these threads Anihawk, now we have a well rounded collection of generation votes to refer to, take a well earned rest.

What a perfect top 3. TLOU was amazing.

Whoa interesting, what's the rationale for Galaxy 1 above Galaxy 2? I thought the general reception was that Galaxy 2 was a sequel that improved on everything.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Good but somewhat predictable list. I would have expected Dark Souls to be higher than at least one Galaxy given the amount of people who would split their votes between the two but I guess now. I didn't vote for Galaxy (it was an honorable mention on my list), but I'm 100% glad with it being the number 1 of the generation. One of the standout games of our time and pure joy from start to finish.

my guess is that smg simply sold more and reached a lot more people.

Kind of blown away that RDR, Bioshock and the Portal games are as "low" as they are.

I'm more blown away that nobody wised up and BioShock Infinite still is repping while the far superior BioShock 2 is completely MIA.

A good chunk of people voted for only one game per franchise. So I expect the choice of which Galaxy to put came down to choosing between the one that was more novel, and the one with better level design. For a lot of people Galaxy 2 also felt like an unnecessary expansion pack, so I could see why more people would put 1 over 2.
There's also probably a few people who preferred 1's story and charm over 2's "nothing but gameplay".

I think you mean ME1 isn't over ME2, and you're right.
Damn you GAF.
There were a surprisingly low amount of votes overall. About 250 I think?
And yes I agree about ME2.

Don't understand Mark Of The Ninja being on the Xbox exclusive list when it's on PC also. Makes more sense to nake it exclusives only and not just console exclusives.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is better, but that's like arguing 1a vs 1b.
Can't believe I forgot to vote. My quick list:
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Dark Souls
Metal Gear Rising Reveangence
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
Halo 3
999
Pokemon Black
Spelunky
Rayman Origins
The Swapper
The top three are in that order, rest I dunno. A lot of games that would be there like Uncharted 2 and Gears of War I replayed recently and it's good, but notably surpassed and not as great as it once felt. Games like Super Mario Galaxy and Dark Souls 2 suffer from being amazing, just having a better member in their vein without being different enough to set them apart.
I miss Gen 7.

New Vegas and RDR way too low. Mass Effect games are way too high. You failed GAF.
Yep. Demon's Souls would be nonexistent otherwise, that's for damn sure.

Thanks for your work, AniHawk. Seems like a very solid list...I wanted to vote, but I almost entirely skipped this generation due to school. I didn't think it was fair to vote on a gen where I barely played any of the big games. From what I did play, my list would have looked something like this:
1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Valkyria Chronicles
3. Bayonetta
4. Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
5. The World Ends with You

First of all, thank you for the tremendous amount work you've put in here AniHawk. Thre thread has a really nice presentation to it.

The results have me questioning what went so wrong though. Not gonna lie.
Neither of these making it into top 5 racers of the gen. GAF, what are you doing? No wonder the racing genre is dead. No wonder we will never get a new Burnout or PGR5.
To end things on a more positive note though, I do really like the way the following placed. Some of these are a real case of "I told you so" (for me, at least):
I guess like anything democratic, you've got to take the good with the bad. Until the next vote.

I would expect at least one of the two best single player FPS to make it into at least the top 25.

Stop, just stop.
Like 100 million sales and only 10 of those to GAF.
