System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games. Not many people survive System Wars. The mightiest system warriors back up their arguments with facts.
Rules are simple:
- Read the Terms of Use and System Wars Survival Guide.
- Must be Level 10 or higher to create topics.
- Keep your discussions around what belongs here: platforms, games, developers, publishers, and stats.
- Don't quote more than one image in your post.
- Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions (adult material/illegal activities/illegal advertising/etc).

Gameplay is fine. Nothing outstanding but it's serviceable.
[/QUOTE] Of course you settle for serviceable. What a shocker. [/QUOTE]
Ha, this coming from a big Silent Hill 2 fan. Lets not kid ourselves champ, that game didn't even have serviceable gameplay. It was everything else about it that made it great, as is the case with Nier (only Nier's gameplay isn't anywhere near as clunky and slow as SH2's).

This thread is filled with far too many games worth only one playthrough at best before forgetting about them.

Pfft. I consider RE4 and Metroid Prime to be the two greatest games ever made. I recognise Breaking Bad and The Wire as god's gift to tv. I know that Heat is the greatest film in history. Blonds and asian woman are the best. GTOs > every other car. Sea food > everything else. Big butts > big boobs. I'd say my taste in everything is unparalleled.

That would be a really silly way to review a game.Game reviews aren't mathematical logarithms. They are the result of an experience that makes an impression on the mental and emotional superhighway of the game reviewer. I don't have a spreadheet that starts with a 10 and has calculations built in, where "low frame rate" = a .25 hit to the score. It doesn't work that way, and thank God for that.

[/QUOTE] Phew, was gonna guess you lost someone. I draw my line at that kind of stuff. At that point it's not so much it's bad taste, as much you're being a scumbag for joking about it.
Edit: That phew was more like a whistle, like oooooooooooooooooo, and not like YES, off the hook. Just had to clarify that. - Oct 11, 2012 5:43 pm GMT

[/QUOTE] i'm sure some people are just posting their 10 favorite games of the generation, but the point of the list is to name the ones you feel defined the generation. i know my list would look much different if i were naming the best games. hell, a few of them i dont even consider any good.

I agree with champ. They shouldn't count. That way Slashkice is forced to put Nier as his #1:twisted:
