Reader's choice tend to be far more about hype and I'm shocked people say otherwise.
Readers are stupid. Hell, most readers with the time to vote online are 14 year old males that play few games, but insane amounts of hours, and can be spoonfed anything.
Critics play hundreds of games, for fewer hours, and need more convincing.
A significant amount of these lists rebelled against GTA4. Which gives them some credibility, to me, much like the ones a few years back which tore Doom 3 apart.
But, in the long run, the best games were higher budget games, with some exceptions. The Witcher was a buggy mess at release, wasn't it? Savage 2 tried new things but didn't do anything terribly interesting.
Sometimes I don't know why I argue these points here, though. Some in this topic thought BioShock was a useless piece of garbage. It had flaws, but it tried new things as far as story went, with interesting gameplay backing it. That made it more innovative than much that has come since. |
