Excellent post, I've been a PS fan since 1996 ever since I went to a local mall and played Tekken 2 at the arcade. Then I went to EB Games and saw a demo for the Japanese version of Tekken 2 running on PS1! I was floored! It looked nearly identical! That was it, I made up my mind I had to own a PlayStation!
Since then, I've purchased every PlayStation platform.
Next up: PS5. :)
WOW! I didn't notice the lack of MGS3! It's my favorite of the series and in my top 3 favorite games of all time. This list is bunk.
Should Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory be on the list? Yes.
Should it be ranked at #1? No.
I didn't expect to see the Last of Us though, at #1. I know it has stealth elements, but I wouldn't call it a stealth game since the stealth mechanics are very shallow. Its more a standard action game with the ability to couch-walk, which isn't enough to consider a part of the 'stealth genre'.
There's no Metal Gear Solid 2 on the list w...
Why fix what isn't broken? Sheesh, look at all the teasing Xbox 360 and Xbox One recieved over the years.
Then there's the dumb Nintendo console names, "Super" Nintendo, Nintendo "64", "GameCube" "Wii" "Wii U" (ugh!).
What a clusterhump of a mess, Nintendo constantly having to come up with new names and they mostly suck, except for their first console, and most recent one, "Switch" is a good name.
Oh please! Of course everyone has heard of Sebastien Le Touze, CEO of eXiin! I mean, I could literally list the top five games he's made easily! Which are um..
Uh...
Yeah, who is this guy? lol.
I only click on GamingBolt pages on N4G just to read the comments about how awful GamingBolt is.

Don't you dare compare the fantastic and under appreciated Sega Saturn to the Xbox One.
If you've bothered to research all the high quality exclusives it had (many unfortunately stuck in Japan) you would understand that the Saturn and Xbox One are worlds apart in terms of quality games to play.
There's a YouTube account dedicated to discussing video game AI, you may find it interesting.

They listed MGS, but didn't list Assassin's Creed? The audacity of GamingBolt.
The writer forgot to mention Fitness Boxing, which I know may come across as laughable to most of you, but I do play it every day. Its a good way to stay motivated to burn a few calories each day.
Artemidorus, this is not a sarcastic question, I'm legitimately curious if you avoid games from those publishers, what games do you actually play then? And which hardware do you play games on?
At the very least 1GB of cloud saves should be free. Currently 100GB is included with PS+ subscription, so it really wouldn't hurt to give 1GB to free users. :/
That's what a lot of people don't understand. They blame Yu Suzuki and Ys Net as if they're some evil villains, when this is all the cause of Deep Silver, who have been known to do all ALL of these business tactics and more in the past.
Hopefully Ys Net ditches Deep Silver for Shenmue 4, maybe then they can win back the fans that they've lost.
Literally whats wrong with gaming are all the morons buying loot box trash, and whatever else microtransaction nonsense in annualized franchises such as Fifa, WWE, Call of Duty, etc.
To even call Shenmue fans (who have been waiting NINETEEN YEARS without anything new to play) "what's wrong with gaming" shows how much of an ignorant jackass you truly are.
If it was possible to blacklist you on N4G (and unfortunately its not), you'd most certainly b...
All this B.S. nonsense started when Deep Silver took over publishing duties from Shibuya Productions. They most likely mandated these business tactics (pre-order DLC / season pass / Epic Store) to Ys Net in order for them to get more money.
Games cost so much to make, even smaller indie games like Shenmue 3. People who think that Kickstarter's 7 million is enough simply don't understand. Deep Silver's money made the game better but it also brought upon all these...
Please tell me you also boycott everything from:
Activision
Electronic Arts
Ubisoft
Microsoft
Nintendo
Sony
SEGA
Square-Enix
Capcom
Namco
Warner Bros Games
etc.
All of these companies do season passes, pre-order DLC, store-exclusive DLC, over-priced special editions etc.
Its part of the "Switch family" just like 2DS is part of the "3DS family". They can't actually remove the word 'Switch' because it'll confuse buyers, thinking its a different platform with different games.
So even though its dumb, there's no way around it.
Ignore the N4G loser who specifically clicks on articles he hates just to make broad-stroke insults to anonymous people on the internet with his holier-than-thou attitude.
> Insults Sony's and Microsoft's hardware for being "pathetically underpowered from the outset"
> Does not insult Nintendo's hardware for being "pathetically underpowered from the outset"
> What?
Even as a fan of both PS4 and Switch, I can't comprehend this 'logic'.
Trash article, kept quoting Michael Pachter. Claims to explain what caused GameStop's fall, but only provides half the reasoning.
The other half of the reason that's missing from this article, written by a non-gamer, for GameStop's failing is because they've burned bridges with countless customers. They keep hiring inept employees to work at stores instead of more knowledgeable, intelligent gamers.
They throw away boxes, or sell open-box p...
TV and movie streaming doesn't have to deal with input lag. How hard is that for you realize?
Imagine a future where every game ever made featured input lag and you were always at the whims of servers and ISPs running at all times if you wanted to play a modern game.
Yeesh!
