    My top 10 games are all of Japanese origin, which really isn't surprising, but I see that the overall list on Favslist is more mixed. So my question for you guys is: Are your lists composed of Japanese games? American games? Are they more mixed in origin? Do you have a preference for any particular "style" and if so, what do you think defines that style for you?

      Editing … Mine are a total mix of origin, time, and genre. I seem to like a bit of everything. I have everything from Commodore Amiga management games to PS4 FPS's. And that's just my top 10, the full 100 is very varied. I would imagine the Yanks lists here are very Nintendo heavy because that's all they all seemed to have growing up whilst in Europe we got every console and home computer. Those were great days, after school you'd go play on your friends ZX Spectrum and the next day you'd play on somebody ele's Amstrad CPC then your Commodore 64 after that. One kid would have a Master system and another would have a NES. The cool kids would have a SNES or a Megadrive and the posh kid would have a Commodore Amiga.

      Editing … Origin wise my favs are mixed as my thought goes. For genre i am foccussed on strategy (mainly 4x /grand strategy subtype) and simulation (city builder mostly). Other genre should respresented more or less...

      Editing … In terms of developer origin mine are pretty mixed, but the top games are pretty solidly strategy, visual novel, or RPGs, with a few others mixed in, but with strategy games clearly being on top overall. Generally those are Western developers. Japanese developers show more when looking at RPGs and VNs (though there are Westerners there too for both of these) or specifically when looking at Nintendo, or sometimes Sega, Bandai-Namco, or Capcom, the latter two probably being my favorite Japanese developers just based on IPs. Square has some representation too. In terms of platform it's mostly 90s to present, which makes sense. Consoles are far more represented before the 2010s, where they fall off almost completely in favor of PC games, mostly due to me never getting modern consoles (before I recently got a Switch my most recent console was a Wii, which I didn't even get until 2020).

      Editing … I need to do some editing on mine, change some rankings up and down but Favslist is such a chore right now. I need a Gran Turismo game higher up the list for sure. I need either civilization, dune II or the settlers bumping right up, or maybe even Syndicate... my god it's just too hard to pick! And I'm cutting loads of other games to try getting certain genres represented more. I've decided I need a top 250, somebody tell the admins.

      Editing … I don't really care about genre representation. To me it's all about ranking integrity. If I can keep a consistent gaming list that lines up with sub lists (which I don't think I have perfectly right now) then that's ideal, where one thing is above one thing and below another thing no matter what list you look at or if you splice two lists together.

      Editing … In a perfect world I'd agree, but the short lists kind of force me into doing it. I realise that there are not many people like me, I've played approximately 50,000 games across every system almost. Do I really need yet another FPS in my list above something like Dune II that literally changed gaming and I spent years playing? This is the way "favourite" games wins instead of "best" We can bin an objectively better game for something else. If my lists were endless then I'd rank things a bit more objectively perhaps. But like I say, I'm probably the only one here and that will ever visit Favslist that has played so many games. Maybe one day we could get every list open to unlimited honourable mentions? For me it's not about scoring points, it's about seeing who I am by seeing my lists.

      Editing … Oh to be clear my rankings are entirely "favorite", not "best." And the way I try to manage it is for movies and games the simplest, default list is the year list, that is "Films of XXXX". Then we can build genre and decade from there, and then finally the largest master list which only really ranks things that are at a certain level (for movies it's 8, for games it's 7.5, for cartoons it's 6.5). My point is I just want consistency with myself. If I have a movie ranked below another on one list but on a larger list it's ranked above it, then that's no good.

      Editing … I struggle with that, as my feelings on games/movies changes a lot, and I just can't be bothered constantly updating all the various lists to keep them consistent. So there are bound to be some discrepancies between the genre/year/overall lists. I've decided I'm probably going to stop listing games/movies that I've enjoyed and keep my lists to genuine "favourites". That way the ordering can be pretty interchangeable within the list itself.

      Editing … I don't constantly update. Generally I choose to not change a rating on an existing thing unless I revisit it, so some ratings for things I watched or played a long time ago might deserve revision but i want to err on the side of keeping it the same until I actually see it again.

      Editing … By far the most common way a list is "updated" is just when I add something new to it.
