Rouge Squadron was never in that conversation.
To me, it's the best SW game of all time.
For me, that’s either the first Rogue game or Shadow of the Empire.
I can see maybe the first Rogue game.. but Rogue 2 improved on everything! And the on-foot ground combat in EVERY SW GAME sucks pretty much.. so SOTE nope
Knights of the Old Republic and the sequel deserve to be in the conversation too. As well as the Tie Fighter series on the PC.
Shhhh. KotOR2 was the most rushed game in the history of gaming. They removed an entire planet (s) without updating the story. I'm still mad.

I tried KOTOR after I got into Mass Effect and wasn’t feeling it at all. It felt so clunky and antiquated. But I had the same issue with Dragon Age: Origins.

And, as I mentioned, RDR2 was kinda tough but I wanted to pick the best GTA game and so I took the next logical step.. it will be better than GTA V.

I'm not the biggest fan, either, because of tone and story choices. But, I respect the hell out of its technical achievements. It's a beauty.

Really, it's in my best interest to stall this thing as much as possible because I want people to have a chance to play through as much of RDR2 as possible before voting... but it's just not ethically feasible. I'm a good person.

Should we all PM him?
Yes. I've already PM'd. I don't care if he's on vacation. He should have sent me his picks ahead of time!

No. I feel like the best option is to just ruin it for everyone, so I'm just gonna take the full 12 hours to make my picks from this point forward.

That seems like the right thing to do.

Big surprise.
Yours is pretty good too. But I just never liked Goldeneye.
WTF is wrong with you
I didn't have an N64 so I only played it at my friends' houses and I sucked at it.
