even back then there had to be better games, something like Doom, Tetris, Half-Life or Ocarina of Time would have made more sense you fucking boomer
David Martinez
>dat PS1 domination of the top 10
Alexander Long
Doom and Tetris were too old, Goldeneye was more influential to the FPS genre than Half-Life, and Ocarina of Time is too cliche a choice.

apart from golden age aging like milk the lists for each console are pretty good desu
back when actual gamers wrote for games magazines

Before Goldeneye was released there wasn't a single commercially released PC game that had these features that we now take for granted:
-in-engine visual storytelling (NPCs can talk to you without breaking to a cutscene or menu screen)
-a dedicated button for reloading your gun
-body target locations (headshots, etc)
-zoomable sniper rifle
Then there's the whole thing about Goldeneye being the first commercially successful shooting game that involved tactical play (stealth, gadgets, a focus on completing objectives like not killing friendly NPCs, etc).

isn't it funny that this is probably the 'best' game of all time to be totally forgotten and surpassed
no one plays this game anymore while plenty of people still play OoT and Metal Gear Solid
Adrian Cox
Half Life 1 was only just out back then.
Evan Campbell
Sorry, I meant for this list of upcoming games in 2003
Xavier Ward
>no one plays this game anymore
Fucking idiot. There's only like a whole fucking Goldeneye community out there that are making custom campaigns, and there's still new versions of Goldeneye Source being made due to popular demand.
Adrian Brown
It was a 10/10 back in its day. Spent more hours playing this than OoT.
Xavier Parker
At least it's not OoT
Jose Russell
No-one plays MGS anymore. FF7 would have been a better choice.
Nicholas Gray

Timelessness doesn’t have to be a measure of greatness. Citizen Kane is one of the most common ‘best film of all time’ list toppers, yet it’s perfectly normal to find it droll and rather basic these days.

Goldeneye is still pretty unique as a shooter since it deliberately avoided playing like Quake. It's more unique than Halo that's for sure (which aped popular PC shooters at the time). For that reason I actually think it aged better than any other console FPS.
As for its spiritual sequels, while bettered in multiplayer, Perfect Dark had the meh Skedar levels and Timesplitters didn't have much of a single player.

Shit list.
Evan Ross
This list isn't perfect (there's a weird lack of RPGs in particular), but it's FAR better than ANY top 100 list you'd see now. It actually seems like real people's real opinions and now just a list of obligatory picks because they're afraid of pissing off nerds in the comment section.
Wyatt Watson

(Timesplitters) died over a decade ago

YES!
Robert Gray
"Lylat Wars" the sequel to "Starwing"??? What the fuck kind of alternate universe magazine is this.
Cameron Ward
>no SSX 3 at all
Justin Lee
It's a UK mag, and Star Fox has a different name in Europe because of copyrights.
Sebastian Gonzalez
The UK.
Xavier Brooks
they don't make 'em like they used to
Ryan Edwards
I find Citizen Kane to be a fine movie, not just in its cinematography. Even its pacing and style is pretty solid and timeless.
Lucas Ross
I was mostly joking, but it did take me a minute to figure it out. I didn't notice all the football/soccer games at first either. Interesting to see a UK magazine's opinions on this stuff.
Jordan Carter
>copyrights
It's trademarks you dolt, learn the difference.
John Bennett
no
Aiden Butler
It might also explain why Goldeneye is #1 on the list.
Juan Myers
"No!"
Nathan Diaz
Some ads from the era too
Brody Foster

Angel Young
And exactly like Citizen Kane, Goldeneye 007 was good decades ago, should be respected for what it did, but viewed through a modern lense, is a garbage piece of media that would absolutely be unacceptable if released in the modern age. And because of that, neither ever deserve to be called "the best." They aren't.
Importance =/= Best.

Matthew Ramirez
This would confuse the zoomer on so many levels.
Xavier Rodriguez
nice revisionism retard
it's only kept alive because of the autistic speedrunning community
the source port is cool and all but it still doesn't completely eliminate why the game is objectively not fun
Isaac Nguyen
>For that reason I actually think it aged better than any other console FPS
just played it again recently and it absolutely did not
James Hernandez
>Music
why
Parker Cruz
while tony hawk was awesome back in 2006, i agree that cranking out games yearly is annoying
theres 0 hype when a game comes out every year and devs dont get any time to make improvements
there should be at least 3 years in between entries in the same series
Hunter Butler
Half-Life 2 was first announced at E3 which was May of 2003, this article might have been written at the start of 2003 or end of 2002 so it hadn't been announced yet.
Levi Torres
i dont even get why it was so popular to begin with. i played some local co-op as a kid and would rather play sm64 any day
Gavin Baker

Oh fuck I can't wait for Mario 64 2

Goldeneye wasn't even good when it released compared to real FPS games
Eli Anderson
This is hilarious considering Perfect Dark came out a year later and made goldeneye look like absolute retard shit.
Zachary Nguyen
no one gave a shit about the n64 by the time perfect dark came out
Carter Howard
Do you not know what an image dump is?
Camden Sanchez
Lmao nintendildos.
Thomas Gomez
>SMB3 not in the top 10
Fucking good. How were people more aware 20 years ago of hw overrated it is?
Jeremiah Jones
Isaac Phillips
A 1999 best games of all time list is really funny to me considering Deus Ex came out a year later and made them all entirely obsolete
Jordan Collins
>Sonic 1 over 3&K
The fuck?
Anthony Sanchez
What a fucking joke
Adrian Cox
It's actually really funny that Earthbound, a game that you'd be crucified for not including in any modern top 100 list, wasn't even considered for a list released just a few years after its release.
Logan Bailey
>Last of Us
>10/10
This whole list is a shitshow but this is especially egregious.
Alexander Edwards
>Most exciting of 2003
Retard user...
Julian Russell
Gee, it's almost as if it nobody in the west fucking played it due to an atrocious marketing campaign and didn't get popular until much later.
Jeremiah Myers

Fuck this

Fuck you kids
Andrew Ward
Actually Earthbound didn't even sell that poorly, all things considered.
NoA just kind of expected it to be a massive hit and spent way too much on advertising.
Really, Earthbound shouldn't even be that expensive, it's not at all a rare game, it's just that dumb hipsterfags and memes have inflated the price astronomically.
