KiwiFarms' Best Game Ever Bracket

[stupid frog]

Resident Evil 4 (106 votes) vs. Final Fantasy VII (103 votes)

 

[Dr. Puncherillo]

I went majors mask, I definitely had a lot of fun with Pokémon and portal, the fever dream that was majoras mask has always been louder when trying to think back on the choices available. Although phantasy star is a series I have never touched.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Pokemon and Zelda, these picks don't get any easier than this.

At least they're both worthy this time, RE4 only less so because it set the franchise on the wrong path, but as a game it's great.

 

[WULULULULU]

Typical Zelda fags. I'm voting Portal because fuck you Nintendies.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Portal is bland, overrated crap.

 

[Die Oberste Direktive]

Hate to go all Nintendo this round but the competition just isn't there.

 

[Strangolapreti]

Pokemon red and blue​

Ok I was about to complain for picking gen 1 games instead of either my favourite games Gold/Silver/Crystal or one of the gen 4 trios that are considered the absolute peak of the series (Platinum/Explorers of sky/Gen 2 remakes) but I have one argument to present for gen 1 games:
Pokemon red/blue are the only games whose bugs aren't an issue but a feature that completely improves the experience, for instance: it makes them the only mainline title that lets you compelte the pokedex without needing to trade with another copy of the game. Fuck trade evolutions, fuck event giveaway pokemons and fuck version exclusivity.

I'm not mad, I support Resi. Kind of had a feeling it would win tbh.

[TrainWreckWatcher]

None of these I feel too strongly over.
Portal I was a little surprised to see.
Portal gun is cool and all, but it isn't too unique a concept.
Granted neither is pokemon.
The execution is good though of both though...
Majora's mask I think is a great side piece for a zelda, but is it really a GOAT?

Majora's Mask feels to me the same way Resident Evil 3 feels in comparison to Resident Evil 2. Definitely the same series and same people but it just feels like a quick and dirty sequel.

Not that it's not a great game.

 

[Looney Troons]

Did Red and Blue really come out the same year as HL1 and Tribes? Wow.

 

[Rango Dango]

Typical Zelda fags. I'm voting Portal because fuck you Nintendies.

im voting portal because its fucking peak

 

[Oliver Onions]

RE4 had its days, but the influence of FF7 seems to be eternal. For better or worse.

I'd argue it was the other way round. FF7 is only remembered for its music and characters; in terms of gameplay all it really did was take the old formula into the third dimension.

RE4 defined the third-person shooter formula the same way Mario 64 did for 3D platformers (still for better or worse).

Gen 2 is better but gen 1 is more iconic and still really good, so I think it belongs here.

Fuck trade evolutions, fuck event giveaway pokemons and fuck version exclusivity.

I love that shit actually lol

Same, I figured it'd win. I love FF7 too, even if it ain't my favorite FF (FFX).

RE4 defined the third-person shooter formula the same way Mario 64 did for 3D platformers (still for better or worse).

That's actually a pretty good point. I would lean towards for worse, however.

Of course you like it, you have a pink triangle.

Gen 2 is better but gen 1 is more iconic and still really good, so I think it belongs here.

I hate the idea of popularity > genuine quality, especially in a "best game ever" thingy. I agreed that there's merit in saying gen 1 deserves to be on top due to its unique status, but i disagree on giving popularity a value.

It depends, but I generally agree. If you're a zoomer you won't get it, but Pokemania directly contributed to how fun it was to be into the franchise as a whole at the time when we were kids. It's different than, like, Sonic being popular, its popularity didn't directly contribute to how fun it was to play like it did for Pokemon.

Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden (60 votes) vs. Halo 3 (179 votes)

Hell yeah, bracket not invalidated yet.

When I assess the historical significance of an artwork, I ask myself one question: how does this affect me, personally?

I tend to give at least a small bonus for historical significance, but for a "best of" list how it feels (or would feel, in the case of a dead multiplayer game) to play today takes top priority.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask [2000] vs. Portal 2 [2011]

One can argue that the humor is quite dated (very "2012 le epic that just happened"), but Portal was a revolutionary puzzle game and Portal 2 is an excellent refinement. It gets my vote over the brother of the most overrated game of all time.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (158 votes) vs. Sonic 3 & Knuckles (63 votes)

I imagine a certain someone would be very disappointed by this result, I have no strong feelings one way or the other

I played gen 2 before gen 1.
Gen 3 disappointed me until emerald partially fixed it, gen 4 I genuinely loved to play, didn't got to play gen 5 and seriously dropped interest when gen 6 arrived.
I do understand pokemania, but I can't care any less about external stuff most of the time, especially since it overshadowes the game's actual merit.
