The list is obviously shit, everyone's absolutely wrong and my opinion is far superior to the one IGN's editors have.

This is what happens when you have a genre as diverse as "RPG." Many of the games are so dramatically different from each other, and people have widely varying tastes, so stuff could end up all over the spectrum.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Final Fantasy IX at 88 is a joke.

Also, Faxanadu better be top 20.

I'm preparing to punch somebody in the throat when this happens. IX should be in top 10. Xenoblade better be in at least the top like 3 or something.

Xenoblade def isn't going to be in the top 10 and as good as it is I wouldn't say it's a top 10 RPG anyways

Is there any purpose behind these lists other than stirring up shit and page clicks?

Top 10 predictions:

10.Fallout 3
9.Oblivion
8.Mass Effect 1
7.Paper Mario RPG
6.Planetscape 2
5.Baldur's Gate 2
4.FFVII
3.Skyrim
2.Chrono Trigger
1.Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 1 is listed too high. It's not enough of a third person shooter to make IGN's list of RPGs.

I don't have much to complain so far.
Not one of the games listed so far means much to me and with such a huge list deciding the correct order of anything above the top 30 is pretty arbitrary.

But I'm probably going to freak out for the top 20, because I *know* they are going to list crap like FFVII or Mass Effect in the top spots, instead of Baldur's gate 2, Torment, Ultima VII, Underworld or Darklands.

I will have to disagree with FF IX being so low, that game is top 10 for me.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

I tend to treat RPG top 100 lists as "if your favorite RPG is there, it's a good-to-decent game no matter what the ranking is".

Doing a top 100 about anything is such a waste of time if it's no based on a poll or something.

I mean how do you determine whether some game should be number 87 or 88?
 
At least it's not GameTrailers, or MW2 would be in the Top 10.

Congratulations, you missed out on the best RPG of the generation.
 
This thread is another impending graveyard, especially with so many inferior games and weird orders. Abandon ship if you value your neogaf gold account.

They only released 80-100 and it's already clear that this list sucks.

Especially FFIX, FFVIII & Vagrant Story should be way higher.
