Red_When was that last time a game was a 10 in your minds? I don't see a single game at E3 that I said has to be the greatest game ever. In my mind there's only 3 games I can give 10s for in my entire gaming career - CSGO, far cry 3, and Modern Warfare 2 honestly
I know opinions are like asses, everyone has one, but god damn if some opinions aren't dumb. How the hell are csgo, farcry and mw2 the best games you have ever played? Did u start gaming 2 years ago? Do you only buy Triple A titles?... CSGO is a great game I'll give it that but 99% of that game is built around the competitive scene and community, without it, it's nothing, you probably don't remember when it first came out that it even struggled to stay relevant compared to its predecessors, 1.6 and source.
Rome 1 / Medieval 2: Total War, Bioshock, Red Alert and Red Alert 2, Fallout 3, Rise of Nations, Age of Empires, RTCW and ET, TES: Oblivion, Sim City 4, F.E.A.R., hell even SWAT 4, I could go on forever but any of these games revolutionized the industry and defined their genre more than any of the games you listed ever will. and some of them still hold on very well to this day and have aged beautifully despite being 10-15 years old.
Also you mentioned COD and failed to mention the most important and defining games of the series which are Cod2 and MW1, which are the staple fps's of its time, unlike every single COD after that.
