Maybe if your view of Witcher 3 is through the unreliable memory of having played it many years ago. If they were released in switched order I'm sure Witcher would be better but Cyberpunk 2.0 with expac is better. There's a lot of really dated systems in Witcher and it's not as immersive.

Do you guys make these types of lists just to get people angry? What’s up with this “one game per franchise” rule you seem to have? Here’s a list of a few games IGN forgot to put in the list: -Minecraft -Terraria -Deus Ex -Mass Effect 2 -The last of us part 1 -Bioshock -Undertale -Half-Life 2 -Team Fortress 2 -Portal 2 -The witness -Skyrim -Fallout New Vegas -Batman Arkham City -Forza -Braid -Baba is You -What remains of Edith Fintch -Gone Home -Papers Please -Civilization V -Spore -The sims -Sim City -Factorio -Don’t Starve -Battlefield 1 -Call of Duty Black Ops -World of Warcraft -StarCraft 2 -Super Meat Boy -Braid -Planescape Torment -Gta 4 -Plague Inc. -Metal Gear Solid 5 -Doom 1 -Dwarf Fortress -The binding of Isaac -Dying Light -Mirrors Edge -Spec Ops the line -Prey -All Lucas arts games -Myst -The walking dead season 1
That's not really a bias. Games ARE better now than they could be over 10 years ago. Please go back and actually try to play those old games. Nothing before 2010 really stands the test of time. Even stuff like Mass Effect 2 with Legendary edition remaster feels so bad when it comes to combat. Game design evolves and builds upon previous games. Trying to replay Dragon Age: Origins is rough even if the game doesn't crash. You basically have to make an adjustment for release date when ranking those games, like adjusting for inflation. This list has other issues, feels very made by a console player like the top comment says.
@@bronzin1445 Most people with your opinion either a) Haven't actually been replaying older games recently so their view is distorted by the memory of playing them at the time or b) don't actually play many modern games and just play AAA slop like assassins creed games, call of duty, etc.

@@0bliviongaming454 Don’t wanna hear that from someone with “gaming” in their name. Stick to your FPS games buddy, pouring countless hours into one is way worst than playing multiple games with lesser timing.
To all the crybabies who don’t agree, you’ve clearly never ACTUALLY played BG3 or you’d agree. A game that gives you the freedom to approach everything in any way you want and usually if you think it might work it will, deserves to be first. The story and gameplay are also amazingly well crafted. You can get a huge enemy to drink himself to death or another to literally kill himself just by talking him into it. No other games on this list give you that level of freedom. Haters just hush. You. Are. Wrong.
@@sensationalrebel9459 everyone that reviews lt says it has fantastic writing like all larian games. The dice roll system works like DnD does ya know that table top game it’s based on, dipstick!

Heck any RPG that has damage numbers and stats includes a mix of math and rng, largely built on the principles made in dungeons and dragons.
Agree with baldurs gate 3. I bought it after release and played for a bit then benched it since it didn't appeal to me at first and find it rather boring that time. Now im on my 3rd playthrough pumping 300 hrs in it. I'm never going for the sharran Shadowheart even on my evil playthrough.
All of these games are basically people who don't make movies, trying to make a movie. I'd love to see 2d platformers with far less bloom in everything, the entire night sky doesn't need to light up just because you jump omg.
Should have included Skyrim although for external reason, "Mods", Skyrim's Mod community still keep the rank 1 largest mod community over a decade and no game ever have close the number, it release 13years ago and no game has ever beat its mod community size or come close.
The problem with waiting to consider a game like Helldivers 2 in later years is that it's not clear the community will still be present in the same way in later years so 2024 might really be the best time to play it.
