Suikoden 2 Ranked #55 Best Game of All Time

[dragonmasterx]

Details and the List here.

Just wanted to share that tidbit.

[thcrock]

You mean #36?

It wiped the floor with FFX, and almost reached Xenogears!

I would personally put it higher, but that's still a damn impressive score, much higher than I would expect from a popularity contest.

Guitar Hero on top 30? Meh. I already puked at the list's integrity.


But if the authors were to honestly prove they don't know Guitar Freaks, I'll set my anger into forgiver phase.

If you look at it in context, Suikoden 2 was rated 11th best RPG of all time - most of its betters being Zelda.

Very fitting of one of the most under-rated series of all time.

[Feldoon]

I'm rather shocked.

I never imagined it would get that high in a popularity contest.

i've always said that ocarina of time is the best rpg ever made. Not that i agree with that, i myself say suikoden, but even if you don't agree with something doesn't mean it isn't true. I've always enjoyed this game. It is one of those games that is truly a game that's impossisble to be bored with. There were some shockers on the list i'd say like mg2 being on the list simply shocked me. I personally think the game was poorly designed seeing as how it was nearly the same storyline as mg1 on ps1 just with a simulator as the overall background. i don't see how espn got on there either but i don't play much sports games. but i know espn wasn't that great. and if there should be an ncaa, i'd say 07 istead of 04. and hell yeah goldeneye, that seriously should have been on the top 5 easily. Remember the days of n64 where we got together with our buddies and played goldeneye multiplayer in the levels of the temple and complex. Everyone does, that's why it should have been in the top 10 and i'm suprised not to see mario kart 64. anyways

If I'm gonna use your opinion on MGS2, then those Madden, NCAA sports games or whatever shouldn't be on the list.

I'm rather shocked.

I know what you mean - Suikoden isn't exactly a widely known game series, so to see it at #36 ahead of games like Half-Life is incredibly surprising.

Also, some of the choices are a bit suspect: Metal Gear Solid 2 at #55 and then Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance at #53? Hmmm, seems a bit pointless, especially considering Deus Ex's absence from the list.

The story is of Squaresoft quality,

My . . . such high praise

I have to say the remainder of the list makes sense to me though except Majora's mask isn't good enough to be a coaster for my garbage can.

And no Silent Hill?

I was gonna post that, but I was sure I'd be bashed XD

[Pollensalta]

Haha, and FF7 isn't on the top 10! I'm sick of it being so over-rated.

Hell yeah.

[Angelis_Taleria]

All of the PS1 FF heroes, and Tidus, have sucked. They aren't manly men like the previous FF heroes have been. Heck, Terra was more of a man than Cloud, or that lame attempt at a FF super saiyan, Zidane.(Squall doesn't even count. His angst is just too great >_> and Tidus was more woman than Lulu, always complaining about how his father doesn't love him and crying about it.)

[Oppenheimer]

I liked FF VII before it became so bloody popular. I always loved FFVI and IV. But VIII-XI are such melodramatic tripe. I completely agree there. I'm still going to buy XII but if it sucks it'll be the last time I buy one that isn't super cheap. I'm almost at the end of my rope for Squeenix. But le sigh how I loved Chrono Trigger.

However I did like the bad guy in IX, he was almost a narcissist haha

I love you.


I believe some of the games on this list ought to be kicked to the back of the list...Oh well, at least Final Fantasy VII wasn't in the top 10.

[Raging Barows Brat]

Hmm. I almost hate to say this, but here goes: I loved FFVII. Of course, I also loved it before the “hype”. And I’m sorry, I love Cloud. Yes, he’s somewhat of a whiny idiot. But I think I like him because he’s flawed, and I tend to sympathize with flawed characters as opposed to the perfect “manly” types anyhow. Part of what helps Cloud for me is that he also realizes he is flawed, so there is a measure of humility within him that is to be acknowledged. And FFVII had the coolest collection of mini-games ever. I can spend hours in the Gold Saucer just snowboarding.

I agree about Tidus wholeheartedly, though. I could not stand him, and he made Cloud look like the epitome of maturity. The voice acting sure didn’t help. For that matter, every character in FFX grated on my nerves. This goes for almost everything that has happened in the FF series since VII.

It’s good to see someone here shares my love for Chrono Trigger.

I’m personally more disappointed Suikoden I isn’t on the list. I also seem to be in the minority in that I liked the original best. I am glad to see a Suikoden game in the mix, and so high at that, though in my opinion, it is the wrong one.

*runs to get a head start from the angry, torch-wielding mob*

I can't complain, really. It is, after all, a popularity contest and a silly list, so I'm glad to even have the series mentioned.
