Personally disagree with the list.

Only 2 games in the top 10 were from Gen 1-6 and 6 in the top 25.

Seems like a lot of the voters were kids who grew up in the 7th generation of gaming.

Super Mario 64 47th... No mention of any Galaxy games and not to mention the game that introduced yoshi and scored 10's everywhere Super Mario World.

I know the list is pointless but it annoys me how Gen 7/8 based the list is and how there's so many gems missing.

Strongly disagree with these games, being anywhere near a top 100 list.

If you view at the list with the mindset that it represents the most popular games within a certain demographic, I think it's a fine list.

This. It's certainly skewed towards what younger gamers are playing now, but I don't see how that's unexpected. It definitely differs from our BGE lists, but that's because this is a community that's actively interested in video game history.

I have yet to play it but wasn't Watch Dogs a huge let down?

It was for me that's for sure.

I can't think of a main character I like less than Aiden Pearce, but the problems are far larger than the story or characters.
