Aug. 30, 2017Persona 5 Voted Best Game of All Time!
Enterbrain,a Japanese magazine publisher just released issue 1,500 of their popularWeekly Famitsumagazine and included the results of a survey in which they asked readers to vote their favorite game of all timeregardless of release date, genre, or platform.
In addition to the readers, the magazine’s own editorial staff, and a sizable panel of celebrities and game developers were also asked to vote.
The rules of the survey states that; each person may vote up tothree gamesin order of preference with each allotted a certain number of points like below:
The survey was conducted between July 7th and July 18th, with the publisher receiving 5,287 submissions. The breakdown of those voters is as follows:
Below you can read the top-forty ranking out the 100 games voted as well as the number of points for the top ten games:
Platform Ranking is as follows:
Ranking for game publishers:
Also, a breakdown by year of publication:
You may have noticed that the recently-released and extremely successfulDragon Quest XI(as evidenced by the previousJapanese sales chart) is nowhere to be found in the rankings, and reason being is that the game was released in Japan on July 29th,overa weekafter the end of the survey. So, it’s going to be a while before we know how it stacks up toPersona 5.
Persona 5 has been a smashing success and you can read up ourreview of the game here!

Hatsune Miku is listed Three times lol.You can definitely see the bias in the game selection. if this was a global online poll it’d be nothing but Blizzard games, LOL, Counter strike, Cod and battlefield.
Seeing Chronotrigger, A suikoden game and Xeno gears really says something though. Great games that really deserve to continue but probably won’t sadly.
I don’t really like Famitsu (they hated Demon’s Souls and changed their mind when the audience loved it lol)However, a survey done in Japan among readers of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu is unavoidably going to have a Japanese bias. Look at the Japanese charts – Microsoft isn’t even here. Local marketing and interests are at play, but the chances there was a non-Japanese game/developer in the “all time” list are as slim as them beating Monster Hunter off the top of the charts
I was going to point out that Famitsu famously gave one of its rare perfect scores to FInal Fantasy XIII (a game which didn’t make the top 40), but compared to their readers and and the “sizeable panel of celebrities” the editorial staff apparently has great judgement.
Seriously a number of the games, like Sonic Adventure 2, not only aren’t among the greatest of all time, they aren’t even good. I’m also noticing that not a single game was from a non-Japanese developer. That’s kind of sad.
It’s not my personal best, but it’s up there. Hopefully SEGA will take this to mean that what they should do is let Atlus do whatever they want without interfering. Also SEGA earned a whole lot of goodwill just by not screwing with P5 (much) when publishers are becoming increasingly notorious for meddling with and damaging or outright ruining the experience, so hopefully they’ll keep that up too.
I mean, it could also go horribly wrong and this could be that last Atlus game that’s any good, but lets not think about that.
