EDIT: Immune from valid criticism I should say

I find this to be a very interesting topic I don’t see brought up a lot. Go to any YouTube comment section, any tweet, any Reddit thread that involves someone ranking games based on how much they like it and you’ll see grown adults having tantrums, responding in condescending ways telling you you’re wrong and they’re right.

Unless you try to make an objective ranking, your list itself is immune from criticism because it’s based on your enjoyment, not anyone else’s. It doesn’t mean your reasonings can’t be criticized if you use it to justify it, but if you make a list of your top 10 games of all time and the only criteria for the ranking is your enjoyment of those games, your list is right because it’s your opinion. How can your list itself be criticized when it’s your own list based on your own personal feelings and experiences? How can that be criticized for being “wrong”?

Seems like a basic concept but so many people get legitimately mad or feel the need to talk down or berate others when a list doesn’t align with their own and it’s frankly pathetic behavior.

Also not saying you have to agree or think the list is “good” but people who act like this just ruin gaming discussions and push others away from talking about games they love. Disagree, explain your perspective and move on. Your opinion means no more than someone else’s. I rarely talk about gaming anymore in threads or anymore because grown adults have meltdowns when you don’t like the “right” game and it’s just tiring.

ok i like seriously need help here LOL. I love horror concepts, especially analog horror and liminal stuffs, it's the coolest thing ever to me, but I cannot for the life of me play a game with those elements 😭✌️ and it's not the fact that I get scared or scream too much is the problem, I legit cannot progress past like the first initial part of any game, I end up hiding in the same corner the whole time and it's just a dang mess icl. It's not just horror games either, I get scared constantly playing fp games and have to constantly look behind me, even stuffs like Undertale and Deltarune freak me out a bit, really any game where you're moving 💀 I've tried all the tricks

I play with lights on, far away from the screen, with some silly bgm on, I don't use headphones and I literally livestream everything and nothing works gng 🙏🙏 I've been only able to pretty much play vns and turn based games my whole life, and as much as I love them I feel like I'm missing out on so much bro 💔

Wasn’t on my radar until very recently but it looks damn good and right up my alley. I’m going to wait for reviews most likely but if there’s no annoying technical issues I’ll be getting it for the PS5 pro.

I'm in a mood for a GOOD game to play and maybe try to 100%. Between these choices, which one was your favorite and why ?

I like a good RPG and Im in a mood to invest my time into one game because I know those options (game) are really huge.

Which one did you like ?
