Also, they really need to write better dialogue for the lists because even on the good lists they say a lot of cringe worthy things.

These lists I feel were in the middle of the road. Both of them focused on superficial aspects of video games rather than how they felt (though they sort of addressed that in spots). I suppose the surface area of such a topic is the most obvious thing to look at, but I kind of wish they took the time to dig deeper. I get that they release a billion videos a day, but a little extra time should be spend on stuff like these. There are plenty of lists they do where it can be put together quickly, but a lot of great topics have been squandered by them obviously rushing to get so many videos out per day.

Gah, I didn't mean to rant on WatchMojo so much. That channel is what it is at the end of the day, and I'll admit it is nice to put on if there isn't anything new on other channels I have way more emotional investments in.
See, I agree with this. Take Grand Theft Auto III for example. They're absolutely right that a lot of people don't find that game as great as they used to. Back in 2001 the level of exploration and freedom you had was amazing. These days...well, it's not the city people complain about. It's more like the level of freedom back in 2001 isn't quite up to par with later games. People go back and replay GTA3 these days and they're like "I can't go in any stores! AND WHY CAN'T I RIDE A MOTORCYCLE????"

I still love it. It's an invaluable part of my teenage years and I can not recall being so addicted to any other videogame in my life. But I see where these people are coming from.

But the "reasons" given in the actual video - a lack of a map and the color scheme of Liberty City - are not among the reasons to complain about the game.
