The Digital Press "Best Game Ever" Contest
First of all, no. This thread is not here to announce a contest. I'd be kidding myself to think that I have that much influence.
However, there has been a lot of fuss over the GameFAQs "Best Game Ever" deal. I was wondering if you guys would like to start one for this forum. We could make it hella cool.
Don't forget to suggest rules.
Could be fun. Of course you'd have to break it into genre catagories. Otherwise you'd just be comparing apples and oranges which is probably one of the biggest problems with the Gamefaqs contest.

Pssh. Fine, then. I was going to mail you this adorable Harvest Moon plush cow... But, I don't think he wants such a cruel owner.
Best Game Ever contests are generally pointless...I've tried a couple here in the past. There's no uniform code for great games, so a more accurate term would be "most popular game ever". I think the "Top X games for Y system" threads in Classic Discussions are good enough.
Heheh. I like the new avatar, Yashiro. Did you PS it yourself?
I'd think it'd be best if we don't go there. I'm sure we tried this the most we could ever hope to, at least once, and it just became overwhelming.

That was a low blow...

I didn't mean it, Daria! Really! I lied... The plush Harvest Moon cow exists only in my dreams. Sorry.
I know. Thought it was worth a shot anyway. *shrugs*
You never know.

Yes especially because I enjoyed GTA 3, much more than I enjoyed GTA:VC.No, seriously I did.
Im in if its going for the Best games for each System. Not for a stand alone best games ever. There are just to many early games that ive never played. And hell enough newer games that ive not played either.
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

game was bundled with the original GB......now look at the GB o.o
I'd love to see a poll, and the only rule I can think of is...
Chrono trigger must win!!!!!!!!
Just kidding, although it should win all contests of this type, even ones for systems it's not even on!
A "best game ever" thing is somewhat subjective. Everyone will have a different choice based on what their tastes are. Like for instance, I would likely choose Yoshi's Island, but another person would perhaps choose something like Final Fantasy VI. Both are great games, but they are completely different. You couldn't say that one person is right and the other wrong.

I sort of like the "Best game ever (genre)" idea. If you're really hard up to name just one single title, then we could pair up all the winners of the genres and see which one slugs it out to get the 'best' slot.

Holy crap. It's been a while.
I just thought of a neat idea.
What if we seperated it into genres and covered one every month right. We start off at the begining by voted on what should be noinated then for the course of that month we give the board members time to actually play the games that way no one's voting for titles they recognize and are actually basing their opinions on the games themselves.
Sort of like the Mame and NES clubs you guys run in the emulation forum.
This would 1: Expose some of us to games we never considered playing before and 2: become something more then a popularity contest.

II think we should do a poll of Chrono Trigger vs. FFVI. It would be a very close race.
Egbert, I miss you...
We'd be deluding ourselves if we held a poll for the best game and claimed it wasn't a popularity contest. If we were to do it in a way that would correct GameFAQs' errors, it would have to be a debate. Combined it with Daria's idea, it might work out well.
It might also lead to flame wars, of course.
