IGN: Top 100 Modern Video Games #s 100-81

IGN reveals the Top 100-81 top games of their Top 100 Modern Video Game countdown

-Alpha4703d ago (Edited 4703d ago )

I dont know why they dont wait for the generation to be over, but oh well:

Demon's Souls, #100.. Resistance 2 #97

http://28.media.tumblr.com/...

Seriously? Demon's Souls deserves much higher than Resistance 2.

Betting #1 will cause a huge fanboy war.

LOGICWINS4703d ago

Well Alpha, the majority consensus on N4G is that IGN sucks..so operating under the assumption that the majority of N4G members are logical people, they won't even click on an IGN article given their negativity towards the site in the past.

"Betting #1 will cause a huge fanboy war."

I hope it's a wii game... like SuperMarioGalaxy or something. At least that might unite the PS3/360 guys in a single unity of hate.

Anyways, yea, the list seems a bit pre-mature considering the 4th quarter of this year is full of heavy hitters.
Would be better to wait till next year to make the list, before the rapture strikes us.

NyGiants74702d ago

Angry Birds and Tiny Wing are both higher than those 2 games...shame

Serjikal_Strike4703d ago

Couldn't they find a faster and easier way to view the choices?

I quit @ 98...taking too damn long

Mac is OK4703d ago

So that no one else has to go through all that:

100 Demon’s Souls
99 League of Legends
98 Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
97 Resistance 2
96 Tiny Wings
95 Kirby's Epic Yarn
94 Crysis
93 Angry Birds
92 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas
91 The Sims 3
90 Far Cry 2
89 Dragon Age: Origins
88 Valkyria Chronicles II
87 Killzone 2
86 Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
85 Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
84 Elite Beat Agents
83 ‘Splosion Man
82 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
81 Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes

DrRichtofen4703d ago

lol I really wish I saw your comment sooner I got to #92 before I gave up.

flyingmunky4703d ago

Thanks for that, marked as helpful.

Strange that #100 is better than the other 19 put together for me. Then again I'm also of the opinion that Demon's Souls is the best game I've played this generation. Guess it's just me, oh well.

WhiteLightning4703d ago

I'm going to predict the future (Pachterlightning) and predict that a Sony exclusive won't be number 1

This is IGN afterall or because I made a Pachter joke I probably will be 100% wrong

dkgshiz4703d ago (Edited 4703d ago )

Farcry 2 is on the list....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The only game that literally put me to sleep. I remember I was doing a mission were I had to assassinate some police chief or something. I had to drive at least 3/4 of the way across the map. My eyes started to get that heavy sleepiness to them. With in one min I was out. I woke up 20 min later and realized what happened...I was playing a boring ass shooter. Wait...Angry Birds...ANGRY BIRD? That's a freaking flash game that someone crapped out in two seconds. Any who, for Farcry 2 to be on this list just cancels it out completely. I would find a facebook comment to be more credible. Especially since it was higher rated then Demons Souls.

TheHomerPimpson4703d ago

Far Cry 2 did a lot of things right, it was a very ambitious title. Granted it wasn't very polished and smooth, it was a step forward for "non-linear" games. Anthony Burch (of HAWP and Dtoid fame) did a good youtube vid on it, check it out.

TheHomerPimpson4703d ago

Here's that vid.

Really cool commentary on Far Cry 2 and linearity in games. Worth a watch.

Serjikal_Strike4703d ago

LOL...

didn't think it was possible to fall asleep while gaming...haha

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack22h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville3h ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack16h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya5h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

isarai13h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos3h ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos3h ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

LostPotato21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack16h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57945h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno3h ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville3h ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Helldivers 2 Star Wars Mod Looks Pretty Insane

Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.

thejigisup6h ago

To you. What makes them interesting?

repsahj5h ago

This is the reason they cancel the psn link.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Profchaos9h ago

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k49h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

Profchaos18m ago

Pretty much no game in Bethesda stables makes cod numbers instantly even fallout 4 Bethesda's best selling game sold 12 million at launch and over the next 10 years climbed to over 32 which cod would do rapidly

CrimsonWing698h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex8h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos8h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
