| Just edited the Top 5's as Xbox One has gone up and does include Destiny in the Top 25 unlike the rest, I don't know if IGN waited to put that in to make up to 25 games or didn't feel what would now be the 26th game to be any good.
But looking at both Number 1's doesn't look like it's been a great 10month's (weird time to do such list) for either system. TLoU is a remaster of a PS3 game, I get why it's number 1 as it is the best game to play on the PS4 but would be nice to see something new up there hopefully next year will be different (I would like to get a early prediction in that Bloodborne is Number 1 this time next year) and then with the Xbox One the Number 1 being Titanfall, I might of gave it 9/10 for what it is a Multi-Player Only Online Shooter but best game on the system unlikely seeing the 360 version didn't even make it in to that top 25 & it's exactly the same game also there's a superior PC version. Also one I don't get is Minecraft is on the 360 list a console with 8 years of gaming library but doesn't make the ONE list, I don't think anyone can say there's better 25 games on the ONE all ready then the 360.
So basically you don't need great games to sell now almost 11 million PS4's and ship nearly 6 million Xbox One's. |

| The PC version of Titanfall is not a superior version... |

| Titanfall PC but that's not really the point it's that the ONE's best title can't even get into the other lists yet a game that is on those lists can't make the ONE's list, doesn't really make sense.
And the main point was the last part how you don't need great games. |

| I think the problem it's still a bit niche, so not everyone even at IGN, Empire etc would of played it and I know your huge fan of it but some of the titles above it are classics and have nostalgia attached to them etc but then TLoU takes top spot which is kinda a joke as I can't see how it's better then some classics. |

| Honestly, I really do love Dark Souls, but I think it's perfectly placed in that list. It's just too difficult for some people, and it'll turn off most players because of that. Still the best world design I've seen in a game in years, mind. |

| It is a game with a cult following to it so I can understand its sub top ten placement BUT that doesn't mean I have to agree with or like it, as for the classics thing, yeah they are but my point is DS deserves to be up there with them.
(side note: I don't just crow about Dark souls for the sake of it either I do it because it's one the best designed games I've ever played) |

| Dark Souls deserves to place incredibly highly in any list for a format on which it appears. I really wish I'd picked it up at a time when I had that much time to invest in one game. Hopefully I'll get my chance eventually. |

| You all suck
But at skittles tonight we were talking about systems and had this thought of these three things Who makes the system, the OS/What Ever you want to call it and who makes the games
I went Sony makes the system, Valve makes the OS and Nintendo makes the games. I guess you could do controller as well seeing I've all ready picked Nintendo do something it would have to be Microsoft & hope it's more like the S-Type or 360 controller then the ONE's. |

| Sony on producing the hardware? I've never been a fan of the quality they put into their systems as I always seem to find something that bugs me. |

| I quite like the Xbox controllers, since it's basically the GameCube pad.
Sony are only doing the machine though, which they normally do really well, with valve on os, so that works. Your have something powerful and slick-looking with really nice firmware.
Obviously you'd want Nintendo on games but the reason Nintendo's games are so good is they do the whole thing with a holistic approach. You might lose that magic by dividing things.

| Nintendo makes the hardware, Nintendo makes the games, and Nintendo makes the damn controller. Might let someone else make the OS, but if Nintendo's is the only way to get Miiverse, they can do that too. |

Nintendo would be the other option but the point which Balla missed was you could only get one person to one thing, so if they made the console someone else would have to make the games and I'd sooner have console with a few minor bugs then not have Nintendo games. |

| C'mon masofdas surely you can't really think that balla missed the point? Also I just honestly couldn't pick three separate companies to build one console. |

| Separate companies, eh? All right: Nintendo R&D1 to make the console, Nintendo R&D2 to make the controller, and MonolithSoft (owned by Nintendo) to make the games. |

| Wouldn't it only half like one game on it then and didn't Nintendo merge the two R&D teams.
It could be more then one company Jas but only one can do one thing, think it kinda like there is no games console but lot's of boxes that play games like a Blu Ray player but lot's have a go making one great one. |

Oh, Empire's list by the way? It's funny that... something that started off as a movie publication... has readers that would choose a game... that's like a movie... possibly more so than a game... as their favourite game... just saying... (I don't have The Last Of Us - it's the closest I've come to caring about a videogame character that talks in a while, but still: cutscene ≠ game) |

| Danganronpa is officially amazing. Three cases in and it has constantly surprised me with the twists, consistently fooled me with red herrings, and all round kept me glued to my couch during the unfolding of the story. I've been able to put the game down less and less, fantastic game and I can see why it's one of the vita's killer apps.
That is all. |

But I could be wrong on that. |
