@banefirelord: I personally don't know if it would even crack my Top 10 of the decade personally, but I couldn't possibly deny that it is far and away the most popular choice for Game of the Decade among pretty much every type of list I found. While Dark Souls and Mass Effect 2 were buoyed by considerations elsewhere on lists, with Breath of the Wild if you just took the #1 votes for it, it would still be in 5th place, just barely behind Witcher 3.
@bumpton: Rock Band 3 was actually #101, barely being beaten out by Super Meat Boy by the slimmest of margins.
I think the reason behind it not making it is because people, generally, love Rock Band 2 more than 3, but 2 that was 2008. I personally always preferred 3 because I loved the rock band network stuff.
Nobody mentioned 4 though, which is unfortunate. I know a lot of people were disappointed by it, but it did what it needed to do: bring Rock Band to the current generation and let the good times keep rolling for those who want to plunk a few bucks on new songs one night with friends. I know people who still play it regularly to this day.
And nobody mentioned Blitz either. Well *I* thought it was neat at least...
I keep forgetting how beloved Persona 5 is everywhere else but this site (and even here it's well-liked, but certainly not loved).
It certainly was in the top 100 from the other sources, but would not be nearly as high on the list without the giant bomb lists.
Persona 5 has a ton of problems. Like an absolute ton. And barely any of them are fixed in Royal (some are even made *worse* from what I've read of the japanese release). But I still loved it? I love so much about it? It's, like I said in the list, a very problematic game to have as your favourite, but I still enjoyed it more than most games on this list, even if the problems make me so angry.
Persona 5, though, was where I drew the line and never gave Atlus the benefit of the doubt again. I don't think I've bought a game by them since other than Etrian Odyssey V (which has a very inclusive character creator btw).
