Really? Ok, it's not a first person shooter because you're not viewing it in the first person. That's probably the first thing that tips me off.

Half Life, Unreal, Doom - FPS
Uncharted, Bloodborne, Last of Us - 3rd person action/shooter

See I knew OOT would be up there, and I get it. That game just did not click with me at all. In fact I didn't even like it. I just gave up the argument as that is how Zelda is since it went 3D, as there are way more 3D Zeldas at this point, then there are 2D. I just much prefer what it was when it was 2D, and I'm not sure exactly what was lost for me in the 3D versions.

Bro fist, I feel the same way sadly.

Completely blanked remembering Baldurs Gate - that's definitely up there for me as well.

Explain to me how it is not a FPS, exactly. I love the game, its one of the greatest of all time, but its a FPS.
Claims a 3rd person over the shoulder game is a FPS, lul.

Go play 5 mins of Doom 2016 and then play 5 mins of Last of Us. To say they are the same genre or game type is quite moronic.

Heavily weighted to the 16 bit era.

Zelda - A Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Final Fantasy IV/VI (II/III US)
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Zelda - Ocarina of Time
Mario Kart 64
Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic
ES - Oblivion
Diablo 2/3 (fuck you, I love d3!)
WoW
GTA 3/VC

I'm realizing that I spent most of my time in the PS3/360/Wii era playing WoW. Also nothing on PS1 or PS2 stood out as all time for me despite being, objectively, two of the all time great systems. I think college/grad school and lack of free time killed that era for me. I could make some honorable mentions:

Some of the stories in ToR were amazing Star Wars nerd experiences
SW Battlefront 2 during grad school
MGS
Skyrim
Burnout Revenge
Sim City
Trade Wars
FF7

I'm pretty much agree with the all the games that have been listed so far the only one I would add is Tecmo super bowl. I remember in college we had tournaments in our dorm for that game.

Define "greatest".

My list is based on games that have sucked me in for hundreds of hours at some point in my life or I consider just a great little game.

I need to add Jones in the Fast Lane to my list

Starcraft and Counter-Strike

Diablo 2 is a close runner-up, but doesn't quite have the longevity of the above.

Ok I am retarded. My brain was thinking just shooter. I lump all shooters together in my mind because, mechanically, a shooter is still a shooter though, whether or not you include hand to hand elements or not in it.

But it is technically not first person, so....

When I'm in the mood for a classic MMO I usually reach for checkers.

A guilty pleasure list might be fun too.

Final Fight, Leisure Suit Larry, Actraiser, the open world Spider-man 2, Elite Beat Agents, Mario Party, any movie based game 2005-2009.

Wife and I still play Dr Mario vs every couple of weeks.

Dr. Mario! I used to play Dr. Mario on a black and white TV when I was a kid. That was damn hard.

Final Fantasy. Whichever numbering system causes the most number of Sean style chimp-outs, that's the one I like the best.

Quake. It had NIN in it.

Fallout 3. I sold a child into slavery.

Everquest. Obv. Duh.

Halflife is automatic.

Total War: Rome 1. The best TW game ever.

Hearthstone. Even though I stopped playing it.

e-Sim. North Corea is Best Corea.

FTL. Rogue-likes are huge these days and this is the best of them.

And for my 8-bit entry; Ikari Warriors. But only with the ABBA infinite lives cheat.
