Saved!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?
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … 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.

Saved!SudertumEditing … 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...
-
Saved!MrZAPEditing … 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).
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … 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.
-
Saved!MrZAPEditing … 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.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … 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.
-
Saved!MrZAPEditing … 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.
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … 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.
-
Saved!MrZAPEditing … 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.
-
Saved!MrZAPEditing … By far the most common way a list is "updated" is just when I add something new to it.
-

Saved!It would be really nice to have filters on the lists like some other sites do. Maybe we can do it once the important stuff is fixed? I'd like to see a favourite games list without Yankland users for example.
-
Saved!Hai @Husky senpai! So I deleted my entire list because it was just easier to redo it from scratch, but I can't delete my honorable mentions. They're just kind of welded on the end of my list forever, and it won't let me re-rank any of the pages that still reside there. I imagine there would be a similar issue if I started tweaking my ATF movies list. Not sure if this is an easy fix for you or Raf, but I thought I'd ask.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Wo that's a tricky issue. It might be fixed if we lower list lengths and then modify the list, and then raise list lengths again. Or maybe that'll just fuck everyone else's lists.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Published the dessert list to test. Unfortunately if I edit the list, it doesn't remove entries that go beyond the current limit. Hmm.
-
Saved!SandvichEditing … Huh, crazy, my ATF movies list has the honorable mentions now listed proper going all the way up to 100, fully editable. Very odd glitch with just the ATF games, as far as I can tell.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Damn, I found a list of mine with honorable mentions, and it's one I recently edited. So no list editing will get rid of those. Damn damn.
-
Saved!SandvichEditing … A dessert list you say? And we have lists of pages trapped away where we can't reach them? This clip once again feels appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gW6QuHovTo
-
Saved!SandvichEditing … I've been meaning to overhaul my Fav Foods list for a while and it has the same problem. https://www.favslist.com/users/Sandvich/111/lists/116/ #26-#42 are locked in forever in the ether.
-
Saved!WoodrowShigeruEditing … "Not sure if this is an easy fix for you or Raf" — As far as easy fixes go, I can add a button "delete all honorable mentions". Then users can decide to drop whatever they have. Because … the honorable mentions feature itself is not gonna come quite soon, I reckon. I deem Pages to be more important. — Also, I'm kind of in the middle of some other feature; so, not sure whether this would make it into the next release.
-
Saved!I really thought hard about the choices on most of my system lists today. I think I've finally nailed my picks. But damn, I didn't think I'd rank Capcom Vs. SNK 2 so high. I played that game too much in college. Lol.
-
Saved!Alan Wake, Crash Team Racing, Valkyria Chronicles, and Silent Hill 3 are above GTA III. This is such a nerd site.
-
Saved!MagusEditing … That has more to do with GTA III not being as enduringly popular as its successors, four of which are in the top 100. Definitely still a nerd site regardless!

Saved!AxersiaEditing … I'd post a reply with my own list, but it'd be really tough to read since comments can't have Carriage Return Line Feeds.
-
Saved!AramondeEditing … How in the fuck is Zelda:ALTTP ugly? Its one of the prettest sprite games imo.
-
Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … The sprite graphics I find the loveliest are Zelda Oracle of Seasons, Final Fantasy V, and Stardew Valley. A Link to the Past I don't like looking at, though not as much as Final Fantasy VI.
-
Saved!AxersiaEditing … Eh, ALTTP looks fine but I don't think it really stands out like EarthBound and Seiken Densetsu 3. Nor should it, since it came out a lot earlier. I do agree that FF5 is much nicer on the eyes than FF6 though, but FF6 has higher graphical fidelity. It just doesn't have as much color and looks really muddy.

-
Saved!Making these huge ass lists is hard. Especially putting all in their right spots, I can guarantee that Final Fantasy 7 and Lufia 2 are on the right spots, after that it's kinda hazy.
-
Saved!I'm a bit surprised the Witcher 3 isn't higher. There are some good games on here, but placed at 85th? I would expect to see it somewhere within the top 20, as much as everyone I talk to seems to like it.
-
Saved!Why can't we pick honorable mentions? :(
-
Saved!PapissamaEditing … Boosted lists will be for people who participate to the site. For example, the requirements to rank a 100 games will be to rank, rate, like OR review 500 games. Once reached, the ability to rank 100 games will be unlocked and your list will have more weight in the global ranking. That will the case for all lists.
