Completely agree, what makes something the best? GOAT acronym for example is a term/acronym I always avoid to use (maybe can use GOATIMHO lol), it always comes to each one taste, each one generation (I'm Portuguese and love Football and i'm near 50 yo, I would say Eusébio is the Goat, if I was younger probably CR7, if i was Argentinian Maradona or Messi etc etc), lot of variables to say what or who is the best or greatest.I cannot disagree more strongly.
Picking the "best game" isn't like a playoff in sports where every team is playing the same game by the same rules. The games and VNs are not designed to do the same things.
The members here sift through and find the things they came here looking for, or get into something more or less new to themselves to try it on. They all have ideas about what they want to see. Do you even know anyone who knows every game and VN on here!? Is it fair to call something "best" without knowing all of it!?
What I find more useful are the lists curated by members of games in some more or less specific category. Lists like that help me find older content or even things not posted on here.
There are a lot of interesting discussions on here. Stuff like "this is the best game ever" does not fall into the category of interesting because it is too general - like comparing basketball teams to skateboarders.
If you look at my sig it is just my opinion on my favorite/best games and I really can't say which one I prefer the most, maybe if vote was on categories probably would work for example:
- Best comedy (Projekt Passion without a doubt)
- Best soundtracks minigames and free roams (BaDIK)
- Best Animations (probably Eternum, some of them are very crazy but all of them are very good in that aspect)
- Best story and character building (all of them are very good, don't make me chose lol)
- Best HS1 game "that even make some HS2 game jealous" lol (Ripples)
- Best "game world building" (imo The Seven Realms, name says all lol)
- Best sci-fi "cyberpunk" story and ambiance (City of Broken dreamers)
Joking around a bit in those categories but was just to prove a point, I really can't say which of those 6 I prefer above the other 5. Wish I could by the rules to put a gif/sig of each of those games in my signature hehe but limit is 2 so once in a while when in the mood I change them.
