[Heromanz]

Yep, no Driveclub <3!!!

 

[tenderbrew]

F-Zero as in standard old SNES F-Zero and not X or GX?

Hmm...

... and out of all Mario Karts, Mario Kart 64???

 

[Tregard]

No Blur, no Split//Second.

Travesty.

 

[TheRulingRing]

GT Sport should be at the top tbh

 

[Deleted member 15428]

This game doesn't exist

 

[Deleted member 1726]

That list is awful.

 

[Atraveller]

No Forza Horizon games?

 

[pswii60]

I don't even know where to start with that list.

Not even Daytona USA in there lol

 

[Deleted member 18951]

Not one Horizon game? lol

 

[TheDarkKnight]

The lack of Burnout 3 or Burnout in general is surprising

 

[tenderbrew]

Where is Waverace 64?

and Excite Truck

 

[Kromeo]

64 the best Mario Kart? No.

I would have a Wipeout in there personally

 

[RockmanBN]

Buhahahaha. MK64? CTR NF and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe shit on it.

 

[ProstatePuncher]

No Burnout, no Wipeout, no Ridge Racer (even though I'm not that huge of a fan). What the fuck, man.

 

[Raide]

No Horizon, Burnout, Daytona, Outrun, Wipeout? What kind of 'all time' list is this?

 

[klaus]

Best racing game is still Stunt Car Racer!

 

[Oliver James]

Gran Turismo 2 on top is a thumbs up from me

 

[cw_sasuke]

Arcade Racers and Sims should always be separated.

 

[anexanhume]

64 the best Mario Kart? No.

I would have a Wipeout in there personally

Click to shrink...

Not even the best kart game on that console.

 

[Black_Red]

Mario Kart 64 is probably one of the worst MArio KArts as much as I liked it back then, I cant see how to pick it over 8 with the amount of content and mechanics.

Also, no burnout paradise, Forza Horizon or Burnotu seems Wrong.

 

[SMD]

.

 

[VoltySquirrel]

I can't deny that Forza Motorsport 4 is probably all around the best game in the series. Still, I can't help but feel like 5, the one everyone but me seems to hate, is my favorite.

 

[Queen Calanthe]

I am usually not bothered by this kind of dumb lists, but this one triggered me hard

 

[ghostcrew]

Yuck.

No Sega Rally, no Horizon games, no Burnout, no Wipeout. F-Zero? Probably the least great F-Zero game?

 

[Deleted member 8196]

No FH3 or 4?

Outrun?

waaaaaaat?

 

[Peru]

Wrong Mario Kart, wrong F-Zero, wrong etc

 

[Pein]

No midnight club 2 or 3 and not a single NFS?

 

[RockmanBN]

Not even the best kart game on that console.

Diddy Kong Racing

 

[Firebrand]

No OutRun 2? Can't deal with it.

 

[Uiki]

San Francisco Rush should be first.

 

[Raide]

No Wreckless Yakuza.

 

[RowdyReverb]

No Forza Horizon games?

Click to shrink...

Most shocking thing to me

 

[Saikyo]

No fzero gx, a mario kart that is not just the best battle mode in the series and no top gear.

 

[Acquiescence]

Why is Burnout 3: Takedown not in at the top spot, I don't understand.

 

[Fizz]

Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled.

*drops mic*

 

[tenderbrew]

This list looks like it was picked out of a hat.

 

[Remo Williams]

Some hits, plenty of misses. About what you'd expect.

 

[Xevross]

No Driveclub or Forza Horizon is crazy. Also mutiple GT games but only one of the others? F1 2019 at #4 despite being buggy and not much better than f1 2018, surely if its good enough to be #4 then there should be more f1 games on there too...

Obviously its subjective and people can argue about what should be on it but this list itself is very odd.

 

[TeenageFBI]

Needs more Rallisport Challenge 2. I know I'm not the only one that remembers!

 

[Deleted member 4761]

One of the worst lists ever made.

 

[mnemonicj]

fuck outta here with that list, there's no diddy kong racing.

 

[Deleted member 31092]

LOL MK64 isn't worth 1/10 of MK8D

 

[*Splinter]

The wrongest list I've ever seen. Looks like they picked the first 10 games that came to mind.

 

[TheOne]

Where's Project Gotham Racing 2? Laughable list lol

 

[Dukie85]

The lack of any mention of Project Gotham on that list makes it irrelevant to me.

 

[nsilvias]

someone really likes sim racers

 

[CrazyAndy]

That list...

 

[Leviathan]

What a joke of a list. Need for Speed: Underground? Midnight Club? Burnout?

Sim racers are fine, but this is just silly.
