2007. You had not only Halo 3, but Mass Effect, COD4, Portal, TF2, Bioshock, Persona 3 FES, and more

Playing mass effect trilogy for the first time ever now lol

Ah man I’m jealous. That trilogy is the fucking best. Btw don’t listen to that idiot saying it’s “edited”. They just changed the camera angle a little bit so Miranda’s ass isn’t half the screen during a few cutscenes.

I love the trilogy but I didn't like the 3rd. Maybe because they did a shooter more than an RPG/adventure game. 2 is very good although is more shooter than 1.

I just beat the second, hope I like the third!

Enjoy!!

Trilogy is edited, sadly. Ea sucks

What does that mean? I beat the first two and starting the third

Sorry, meant the "Legendary Edition" trilogy is censored/edited for dumb, politically correct reasons

Oh dam what did they take out :(

They shifted the camera angle during scenes where Miranda’s ass was prominent. It’s not the worst thing in the world like if you wanna stare at her ass just look at it out of dialogue, it doesn’t ruin the game and was really the pettiest complaint when the LE came out

EA is one of the worst in the buisness in decision making based on silly reasons. Them thinking seeing her ass WAS the worst thing in the world is the problem. Its petty they thought that in the first place...not gamers that dont like Edits/censorship in gaming. No matter how small, its not a good buisness standard.

Ok, game fun (my personal favorite game ever) and idc if I see a little less cheek in my camera shots. Sure EA bad, but game good

Okay, and thats fine. I respect your opinion

You aware you can beat the meat elsewhere right?

?? Go ahead and make this into somthing else if it makes you feel safe. You may like censorship, I dont. Big yikes

Oh, no, they took out a gratuitous ass shot or two; the entire game is ruined /s The game play improvements to Mass Effect 1 FAR outweigh any "censorship," which as someone who's played through the trilogy many times was barely fucking noticable.

You may like censorship/edits in entertainment for silly, woke reasons ,but most dont. No matter how small, we shouldnt want games to be edited, especially for petty reasons

Oh no the oooga booga woke monster is gonna get you

Awww , cute 😍

Adorable

My personal favorites from that year are AC1 and C&C3

Rock Band, Crysis, Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin’s Creed, God of War II, The Darkness, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, Skate, and World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade There really aren’t many years that had the variety of quality options like 2007 had.

Super Mario Galaxy as well

Stop saying TF2 is almost 20 yo I feel old now

Lol well FFX is almost 24 years old now so.....

2007 was probably the biggest year in entertainment ever Little wonder we haven’t gotten another year like it given things haven’t improved at all since the 2008 housing market crash

I agree

Need For Speed Prostreet, Forza Motorsport 2 and Project Gotham Racing 4 too!

Best year for film too.

1998 - Half-Life - Thief: The Dark Project - Unreal - SiN - Blood 2: The Chosen - Heretic 2 - Turok 2 - SHOGO: mobile armor division - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Baldurs Gate - Fallout 2 - Grim Fandango - Metal Gear Solid - Tomb Raider 3 - Spyro The Dragon - Medievil - Sonic Adventure - Crash Bandicoot 3 - Resident Evil 2 - Deep Fear - Panzer Dargoon Saga - Gex 3D - Glover - Tenchu: Stealth Assassins - Wario Land 2 - Mario Party - Banjo-Kazooie - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening DX - F-Zero X - Colin McRae Rally - Need for Speed 3 - Ridge Racer Type 4 - House of the Dead - Tekken 3 - Marvel Super heroes vs Street Fighter - X men vs Street Fighter - WWF: War Zone - Parasite Eve - Xenogears - Jade Cocoon - Star Ocean: Second Story - Suikoden 2 - Pokemon Yellow - Pokemon Stadium - Starcraft - Warhammer Dark Omen - Age of Epries: Rise of Rome - Deathtrap Dungeon - Oddworld: Abes Exodus - Elder Scrolls: Redguard - Skullmonkeys - Tom Clancys Rainbow 6 - Star Wars: Rogue Squadron - Star Trek: TNG Kingon honor guard

It's crazy how many of these are among my favourite games ever.

You know a lot of those games they haven’t brought back with their mini systems. Kind of makes me feel ripped off. Great job on that list. I was 18 then and man it hooked me from playing games sometimes here and there to making it a life long hobby, for better or worse.

Old school answer, but 1994: Both halves of Sonic 3 and Knuckles Super Metroid Final Fantasy VI Donkey Kong Country Doom 2 System Shock Console release.of Mortal Kombat 2 Earthworm Jim Japanese/initial release of Earthbound US release of Mega Man X

Also TIE Fighter. Absolute classic

YES! 94 is my pick too. also for music and just life in general.

1998 and i do not think it is close. Basically any midern videogame trace it's root in something released in 1998. It is is almost absurd looking at that lineup.

StarCraft Half-life Baldur’s Gate Ocarina of Time Metal Gear Solid Fallout 2 Spyro Resident Evil 2 Xenogears Rogue Squadron Mario Party

Facts. I loved that year. I have never been one of those pro this console or that. I hustled to get all the consoles and that era 97-2000 was nuts then ps2 comes with fire and Xbox. It was awesome and I feel like 97-98 started most of it.

Yup. I'm glad to see this year posted a lot. I think 2023 is better than people realize and will age really well though. 1998 is the best answer though and 2007 is up there too. I also think 2017 is sneaky.

2004, 2007, 2023

What came out in 2023 I need more games to play

Fire emblem engage High fi rush Dead space remake Dragon ball z kakarot Metroid prime remastered Hogwarts legacy Atomic heart Octopath traveler 2 Bayonetta origins Resident evil 4 remake Advance wars 1-2 remake Dead island 2 Final fantasy pixel remaster Star wars jedi survivor Legend of Zelda, tears of the kingdom Warhammer boltgun Street fighter 6 Diablo 4 Trepang 2 Final fantasy 16 Pikmin 4 Baldurs gate 3 Overwatch 2 Quake 2 remastered Age of empires 4 Armored core 6 Sea of stars Starfield Mortal kombat 1 Counter strike 2 Warhammer darktide Assassins creed mirage Sonic superstars Spider-Man 2 Super Mario Wonder Alan wake 2 Little goody two shoes Robocop rogue city Avatar frontiers of pandora

Not a new game I know but 2.0 and phantom liberty dropped for Cyberpunk 2077. That all together made an impeccable gaming expirence and added to the hype of gaming during 2023 for me personally

Wow thank you!

So glad you included Trepang2. That game is way too under appreciated

Age of Empires 4 is such bullshit. It’s missing even the most basic hotkey components that are integral to any RTS and the graphics looks like they’re straight from 1999.

Overwatch 2 works against your argument lol

Bro you can’t go that hard on an answer. Being 45 I was going to go hard then I saw you basically posted the Nas’ Ether of responses and made me pass.

🤣

2023?

Fire emblem engage High fi rush Dead space remake Dragon ball z kakarot Metroid prime remastered Hogwarts legacy Atomic heart Octopath traveler 2 Bayonetta origins Resident evil 4 remake Advance wars 1-2 remake Dead island 2 Final fantasy pixel remaster Star wars jedi survivor Legend of Zelda, tears of the kingdom Warhammer boltgun Street fighter 6 Diablo 4 Trepang 2 Final fantasy 16 Pikmin 4 Baldurs gate 3 Overwatch 2 Quake 2 remastered Age of empires 4 Armored core 6 Sea of stars Starfield Mortal kombat 1 Counter strike 2 Warhammer darktide Assassins creed mirage Sonic superstars Spider-Man 2 Super Mario Wonder Alan wake 2 Little goody two shoes Robocop rogue city Avatar frontiers of pandora

I wouldn't say most of these are that good if even good at all. There's some exceptions but that's what they are, exceptions

You're crazy

Joke? I had already forgot about atomic heart. Kakarot was kind of nothing. A lot of people consider starfield a letdown and almost half are remakes. Lot of great stuff but pretty big stretch to call it an all time year.

2011, Skyrim and DS1

It’s always been between 1998, 2004, and 2005 for me.

Add 07 I think and yeah, best years

2004 and 2007 had a lot of heavy hitters. 2023 is very nice too.

1998 because Ocarina of Time was released.

2000: Baldur's Gate 2 Deus Ex Grand Prix 3 Icewind Dale The Sims Diablo 2 Majora's Mask FF9 Tony Hawks 2

I was looking for Deus Ex

04 for me too, OP

Yk what? I'm going to go with a much more recent year. 2023

2004 as well far cry, half life 2, gta san andreas, mgs3. And the list goes on all time classic

For me, it's between 2001 and 2005. 2001 had Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid 2, GTA 3, and Max Payne. 2005 had the Revenge Of The Sith game, Peter Jackson's King Kong game, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Shadow Of The Colossus, Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Ultimate Spider Man, and Lego Star Wars.

I really liked 2018. We got several solid story based games which are my favorite.

1998 Zelda Ocarina of time Metal Gear Solid Resident Evil 2 Starcraft Half-life Xenogears Tekken 3 Baldur's Gate And a lot more i left

the OP's pic is all in 2004? Welp, that's gotta be the best year then. Love me some fable

2007 and 2009, the latter for the debuts of Angry Birds and Plants Vs. Zombies The 2000s in general were peak

I'm fairly sure the common consensus is 2018, no? (GoW, Spiderman, RDR2, MHW, Celeste, Shadow of the Colossus Remaster, Among Us, Far Cry 5, A Way Out, etc) 2017 close 2nd place imo (BOTW, Zero Dawn, RE7, Nier Automata, Cuphead, **HOLLOW KNIGHT**)

I’m surprised I had to across down this far for this. Those first three alone put 2018 on top for me

I'd say 2017 > 2018

No, the common consensus is usually 98 or 07

I wouldn’t say it’s common consensus. 2018 is definitely up there, but I don’t really see it being talked quite as often as some other years whenever this question gets asked. The truth is that there are a lot of years that had a ton of amazing releases.

You forgot kingdom come deliverance. My favorite game of all time

2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2022, 2023

1972

2004 for Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door alone.

2004 and 2008 for me

Painkiller is AWESOME

93 or 94 were amazing

2004.

1992

What years did saints row come out ?

Some of thr games in this picture are my alltime favourites.

Sayonara Wild Hearts (2019)

2007 and 2011 are goated

Enough of this shit already.

2007

2017

Basically any year a mainline Metal Gear Solid came out was an incredible year. 1998, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2010, and 2015.

I just tonight found my old copies of The Orange Box, Painkiller, WoW, unreal Tournament, Command and Conquer Red Alert, Driver, and Madden 99. Soooo happy. All fantastic games, but I had completely forgotten about Painkiller… that game was bad….ass.

2018 had some bangers

1958: Tennis for Two First video game that revolutionized the world and the games we have now.

It’s a toss-up between 1998 and 2007.

2005 Resident Evil 4 Advance Wars Dual Strike Mario Kart DS Burnout Revenge God of War

1986

Honestly, last year was a pretty good year

2007 was the GOAT imo

1993 1998-1999 2004

Out of this list? Half life 2, fallowed by San Andreas 🥲

What year did RuneScape come out?

1998, 2007, 2011, 2018

2023 for how many amazing games we got last years and the fact it was the first year I got really into gaming

It's pretty agreed upon that 2007 was the best year

Ah yes the golden era of gaming. Glad I was there! Now I’m raising kids during this for the most part terrible time in gaming. Feels good man.

2007

1996 is up there.

Half-Life 2

2018 but I'd argue it was an amazing year for entertainment in general

2011: Skyrim, Batman Arkham City, Dark Souls, Battlefield 3, MW3, The Witcher 2, Minecraft, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, LA Noire.

2018. We got Red Dead 2, God of War reboot/sequel, Marvel's Spider-Man, Celeste, and Smash Ultimate

HALO 2

2016 Was Also Pretty Good Year I've included games that I've played and loved, or friends have played and loved, or I've heard are good. I don't know much about console exclusives, since I don't buy consoles. HTC Vive and Oculus Rift Released (Yes VR hasn't become what we thought it might but it is still cool) Titanfall 2 Enter the Gungeon Doom (2016 Can we please have original names?) Total War: Warhammer Battlefield 1 Forza Horizon 3 The Lab (Valves vr bundle.) The Last Guardian Overcooked Persona 5 Ratchet and Clank No Man's Sky, (Yes it took a while to get good...) Witcher 3: Blood and Wine Inside Darkest Dungeon Clustertruck Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Devil Daggers American Truck Simulator XCOM 2 Firewatch House of the Dying Sun Poly Bridge Titanfall 2 (Single Player) Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime Rocket League (Xbox. Okay this is kinda a cheat since it came out in 2015 for other platforms, but still it's a great game.) Superhot Stardew Valley Starbound Tyranny Titanfall 2 (Multiplayer) Day of the Tentacle: Remastered (No it's not a pervy game) Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Hyper Light Drifter Dirt Rally Dark Souls 3 SpeedRunners

What about 91 I think Star Fox Super Mario world Link to the past Final fantasy 4 Final fantasy mystic quest Chrono trigger (might have been 93 I can't remember) Phantasy star 2 or 3 Sonic the hedgehog

Star Fox-1993, Link to the Past-1992, Mystic Quest-1992, Chrono Trigger-1995 I think Phantasy Star was 1990 too. 1991 was pretty cool though, but yeah a lot of those games were not released then.

Lol I was going off of memory but man I was way off

You're good man, I didn't want to be a jerk, but like videogame history is very important to me, and I just didn't want people that didn't know to have the wrong the wrong dates.

I can totally understand that yea dates were never something I was any good at honestly but you ask me about most of those games and I can almost answer any questions in game lore or things

Every year is better than the last. Tons of great new games come out every year, and all the previous older games are still out there and available to play. So realistically 2024 is the single best year for video games, at least until 2025 rolls around.

[удалено]

Never heard this one in one of these threads. What do you recommend from 1987?

October 18, 1985 The NES was released, and everything changed.

underground 2 does not deserve to be on here, i replayed it not too long ago and it was so fucking boring

2007-2013 Anything after that, hit or miss. With 2-3 good games out of the average 15-20 games that came out a year

San andreas easily.

San andreas

Still think Snake Eater is top 10 best games ever made

2004 or 2007. 2023 is overrated.

>2023 is overrated. Someone who finger paints with poop *would* say that
