Not logical? Do you even read TIME?
Do you know about their LISTS that they're well known for, Time 100? Most influential people? Ring a bell? I've been subscribed to TIME since 2001 and being an Editor's Choice in Time is Official because people recognize their lists, the entire world takes notice that iPhone 5 is on Time's number 1 spot or onlive desktop as Time's best app for iOS/Androd Tablets.
Call it an expert opinion. Even courts of law recognizes expert opinions, because opinions can pass as truths, it depends on who is telling them and in this case it's TIME, are you saying TIME is not a legit source of opinions of video games? not reputable enough, are you kidding me? They've been doing this for years from influential people, movies, man of the year, video games, gadgets, name it, they probably listed them, and everytime they release lists, the world tunes in. TIME is not "some people", it's globally recognized as a source of aggregate lists on top of being a magazine.
Besides, their methodology have always been through aggregate sourcing meaning it came from opinions WORLDWIDE. Every other video game company recognizes TIME...Massively.com, Gamespot, Gametrailers...heck, even Wikipedia and google, they've been endorsing TIME's "list" for a long time now, did you know that? I didn't say this is the ONLY list, but that doesn't mean this is not official. It's like your Oscars, they got best actors and what not, but there are also other awarding bodies, does that make the other less official? No. By your logic, nothing should be the best. You were right about one thing, you used "little logic"
PS: How many of those games have you actually played? Have you played Guildwars 2? It has ultra high ratings in all game critics like Metacritic, Gamerankings, Gamespy, G4, IGN, all of which TIME took into account...it's a straight AAA+ game. Come back with more facts, vague posts like that will just make you look like a hater
TIME is not some people LOL (just repeating that). Prove that TIME is not legit or Prove that Guildwars 2 or any of those games are not legit, but if you'll attack the list based on a shallow argument that "it's just an opinion"...one advice, don't be jelly
Someday your beloved Arcane Legends/Pocket Legends/Star Legends/Dark Legends will be in that list (NOT)
It's even posted at their website...and giving away discounts and freebies...Guildwars 2 wouldn't suddenly decide to call themselves that?
I doubt they would post anything like that unless it's from something "official" ;D That would be misleading and people would rage at Guildwars 2, but that's not the case since it is official...(You've no idea how much WoW fanboys would hate on Guildwars 2 if they got caught self proclaiming to be the best
Unfortunately for them, it is actually from an official source...so...eat your hearts out WOW fanboys)
...Oh and for the record. TIME did rank Pac-Man as one of the greatest games of all TIME. source:
