    Here is my Quality Slop list (I only like them because they are good):

    • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    • Metal Gear Solid
    • NieR Gestalt
    • Test Drive Unlimited 2
    • Halo Combat Evolved
    • Dark Souls
    • The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
    • Half-Life: Opposing Force
    • Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
    • Silent Hill 2 (the original, not the remake)
    • Super Metroid
    • Need for Speed Underground 2
    • Shenmue 1, 2, and 3 (Shenmue 3 is probably the worst game on this list, but its still pretty good regardless)
    • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2
    • Age of Empires II
    • Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour
    • Policenauts
    • Panzer Dragoon Orta

    Each of these have contributed to my high bar of expected quality for games. Most of these games were made on a very tight budget and schedule, with pretty harsh hardware limitations, usually with a small team of less than 100 people, and are the greatest games of all time. Modern game studios have no excuses for the awful quality they launch games in today with more time, money, more people on the dev team, and lack of hardware limitations.

        I liked it more. Red Alert 2 was good but I just prefer Generals Zero Hour.

        RA2 isnt bad, I just wanted to really limit the list to not repeat a bunch of games from the same series if they werent equally as good IMO (which is why Danganronpa 2 is the only one in its series, for example). I just had more fun with Generals Zero Hour.

          Can’t really argue with that, RA2 was just such an icon and a mainstay whereas I feel like the C&C brand was largely on the way out by the time of generals, personally
