sephfire Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 ********** UPDATE ********* Phase Two -- VOTING -- We've had time to nominate games, so now it's time to start pruning the list. Here's how this part works. I will post a list of ten games every day, selected randomly. Once these games are posted, they are fair game for voting. I'll be keeping track of the vote count as we go and update this post weekly with voting progress. VOTING RULES 1). All votes must include a few sentences explaining your reasons. You can't just drop a "yes" or "no" on a game and call it a day. You have to tell us WHY you think each game does or does not belong on the list. 2). You can still make nominations. I know that phase is "over," but there's really no reason I can't add a few more games to the voting cue. Especially since we're dealing with an enormous PC library. 3). Late voting is totally fine. Just because you missed the day I posted a game and everyone else is voting on new stuff now, that doesn't mean you can't throw in a vote for a game I posted days ago. 4). A game must have at least two YES votes to be eligible for the must-have list. If we can't get two people to agree that a game was great, then it probably doesn't belong on the list. 5). Changing your vote is allowed. Because of this, debate and discussion are highly encouraged. Let's get to voting! The more people contribute, the better our results will be. ************************************************************************* Welcome to the OCR Must-Have Games thread For those who may not remember the original thread, our goal is to compile a list of games for each console that represents the finest gaming experiences that console has to offer. In the first thread, we spent about a month narrowing down the lists for the Dreamcast, Gamecube, DS, Playstation 2, PSP and Xbox. Now that we've had a nice break, I think it's about time we got started on part two. This time, we're going back a generation or so. We will be compiling lists for the following consoles: Nintendo 64 Gameboy Advance Sony Playstation Sega Saturn PC GENERAL RULES 1). What kind of games qualify for this list? This list is reserved for the games that represent the best experiences each console has to offer. The cream of the crop. Some of these games may be powerhouse franchises (Halo or Final Fantasy), and some may be cult hits (Okami and Beyond Good and Evil). 2). This is not a favorites thread. We're not here to vote on our favorite games. We're here to vote on great games. There are plenty of games that I personally enjoy that don't belong on this list. For example, just because I enjoyed The Bouncer doesn't mean it belongs here. 3). Ports and Imports are fair game. Just because a game wasn't originally designed for a certain console or wasn't released in the U.S. doesn't mean that game can't be great. 4). Please keep fanboyism to a minimum. I realize this is like asking some people to stop breathing, but leave the fanboyism at the door. These threads can be awesome or irritating as hell depending on how we handle ourselves. 5). Only vote on games you've experienced. If you've only played it for fifteen minutes at a friend's house, don't vote on it. If you haven't played it, don't vote based on the reviews you've read. This should be pretty straight-forward. ******************************************************************************************** And the nominees are ... * (this section pushed me over the character limit. feel free to ask me for the remaining nominees that we've not yet voted on) My nominations: Nintendo 64 Super Mario 64 Mario Kart 64 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Super Smash Bros. Goldeneye 007 Perfect Dark Playstation Final Fantasy 7 Final Fantasy 9 Final Fantasy Tactics Metal Gear Solid PC World of Warcraft Warcraft 2 Warcraft 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
