If you could just remove this...Nier game? What the fuck is a Nier...whatever, anyway, if you could just remove that game. Or the homophobic weeb one, and put, like, Dark Souls there. Yeah, Dark Souls. You'd have a good list. And since we're creating two spots because of my demands, you might as well put Fallout New Vegas in there as well. There ya go.

They touched upon Dark Souls with BB argument, seems like they're doing one per series and they think BB is the best (which I agree with). Granted, BB and DkS aren't exactly the same series, but it's close enough.

2012 is the only year in the decade with no game represented in the list or the honorable mentions.

Minecraft is too low, and that's from someone who has pretty much never played it. It is a triumph of staying power. Can't disagree with much else. Nice to see Horizon get a shout.

It isn't out until next year, although I agree that it should be considered since there was no year zero as far as I'm aware.

Not a fan of Fortnite but not putting it on the list shows how much out of touch these channels are.

Automatically a good list due to its rightful acknowledgement of Nier Automata

EDIT: Well, aside from P5 anyways

Why would it be in the list? It didn't start the genre nor did it revolutionized it, pubg did all those things before it, if anything it should be on the list not Fortnite. Just because it's a popular game it should automatically be on the list?

Arkham City, Nier and Persona 5 over the mighty Bloodborne?

The Witcher is a great game but game of the decade that's a bit too much....No Borderlands, Destiny both of which ushered the MMO Lite/ GaaS / Shlooter franchise, How about L4D? Larger chunk of the games seem from the last 5 years than the decade...

Edit : * Removed Influential, but its still not game of the decade

Fortnite is a game that's gonna be there longer than most games on that list. It's not because it's popular.

The effort and updates Epic is pouring into it is exceptional . The rapid constant support and updates is enough for me to make it a quality game.

Note: I don't even play Fortnite.

Dark Souls is a masterpiece and I'd argue one of the most influential games of the decade.

How is that shit not top 5 son

The right number one! My game of the decade and game of the generation. :)

I'm also pleased God of War (2018) is making it into all of those lists and most of the time into the top 10. Such a beautiful, masterfully crafted game. And that is coming from someone who disliked all of the older GoW games, lol.

Destiny really deserved a slot if only for the raid-gameplay, but other than that it seems like a pretty solid list. The Witcher 3 at #1 is a bit much, but on the whole it is pretty balanced.

List is pretty legit, as far as I'm concerned. Though I'd have personally placed Bloodborne a bit higher.

Witcher at #1 in any of these lists confuse me. The combat is far too shallow for me to put it as a #1.

Overall pretty solid list though, glad to see BB, P5, and Nier there. Really, any list without Nier in it is a failure IMO.

It's overall a solid list. I know this is watchmojo we're talking about but I do kinda wish it was a little less..."safe picks."

Lol Witcher at #1 but no Fortnite a game enjoyed by millions. Laughable.

But but muh video game writing.

Enjoy your genre fiction tripe you pretentious nerds.

Not a bad list at all. The Witcher 3 - Wild Hunt definitely deserves the top spot, though I imagine many would prefer to see it and Breath of the Wild swap places.

Wow...their introducing words of excluding games like Fortnite must have really stung, huh?

Lighten up, it is just a list. ;)

Why should Fortnite be on the list? Based on quality or popularity? Given your last part ("out of touch") I reckon you mean the latter. In any case, most of these lists are based on preference anyway.
