Well?

Pretty good taste.

Are you just too cool for Final Fantasy? I agree with a lot of these picks, but Twisted Metal instead of DKC2? Really?

awful list, only the first line is somewhat acceptable, fuck you.

How about instead of just dumping a grid like a soulless robot, you kickstart a discussion by providing some personal reasoning behind each of these (questionable) selections

This. Xbox 360 is becoming retro this November, and only games released in 2005.
>>
>>12029493
OP's picks are GOATs. One per year.
SF2 '91 was supplanted by its follow-ups so it isn't a GOAT and shouldn't be there wasting a slot.

SF2 isn't the only game there with an enhanced version

twisted metal should not be on this list. I dont agree with everything else but I am comfortable not arguing against them, besides twisted metal.

>>12029409
Halo 2 is the most important game to come out in 2004 and an extremely well made fun one.
Like haha gaylo sure sure but with all things due it pretty much isoley responsible for the popularity of online multiplayer shooters and had games copying its lobby/matchmaking system to this day
Campaign is action packed with a good ost and really memorable moments
Pc version released forge the first really easy first person tool set for level creation.
Had just as much physics based shit as halflife 2
Idk like when i think 2004 my mind always goes back to halo 2
Pretty much soley responsible for not making the xbox not a complete joke of a console with its previous game and set the stage for excitement to get normies to make the 360 so popular it beat out the ps3 for half of its life easily
Its just a tough argument to say its not the most defining impactful game of that year

There were some other goodies like MGS, Banjo Kazooie, Fallout 2, Xenogears, Baldur's Gate, and Half Life. But I agree, it's fucky to put anything other than OOT as the best of '98.

Using the japanese release years fucks up these charts in the 8bit and early 16 bit era. The impact was different when when we first played mario 3 in 1990, and the NES dragon warriors well into the 1990salonside snes and genesis titles, and early 90s PC rpgs. It is the main reason the DQ series was mostly ignored in the west when "new" and are only celebrated decades later by a new younger generation who played remakes with their anime art style restored. We didnt even know DQ series had a legendary mamga artist onboard, it was all buried.

>>12029792
>>12031696
Looking at your list, Half Life, Banjo-Kazooie, and F-Zero X are all games I need to play that could possibly beat Spyro for me... maybe Railroad Tycoon II too...

Honestly, I have played Sonic Adventure 1, and I may even like that more than Spyro... but I just get bad vibes from modern sonic now. There is a very real fetishist rabbit hole that I think had a hand in destroying some autistic kids. Something just feels off about those games for me now.
>>
>>12031771
2001 is definitely my favorite year.
>>
>>12031067
I never owned a PS1
>>12030575
Never played OOT, but Zelda never appealed to me. It was always something that seemed to connect with so many other, but never me. There are many Nintendo franchises I prefer.
>>12032156
There are more 1998 games I need to play that would probably easily supplant Spyro (My list is obviously limited by the games I have actually played), but the ones you listed would not beat it.

MGS1 is massively overrated. Insane backtracking and hilariously bad writing. There is a reason most people consider 3 the best now. GT did not come into its own yet. Xenogears is JRPG slop, Tekken is fighting game slop, and RE was never a franchise that resonated with me.
>>
>>12032193
I'd heavily consider it as the best year for video games ever.
>>
>>12032167
Looks like you can set dgvoodoo2 to a resolution like 1440x1080 while the in-game resolution is set to 800x600 and get a nice sharp upscaled image with the HUD size intact
>>
>>12032197
>There is a reason most people consider 3 the best now.
Because reddit likes the quirky cold war themes. MGS1 is the best, followed by 2.
>>
>>12030575
Only American millennials like OoT, get over it.
>>
I'm not gonna bother making this list, because it's a stupid list. For example anything from 2006 is inferior to the best of 1994 and 1998. So it's just giving pointless importance to years

A better list would be a top10 90s and a top10 2000s, and then mix them together and see how big the discrepancy is there

I got OOT and MM on release date, I prefer OOT in stead of MM. Still, I could understand why people choose other games as their favorite from '98 - a lot of people were obsessed with Starcraft.

>>12034351
It's sort of unique in that it's a fighting game, a strategy game and a puzzle game rolled up into one. It's a good game, but not great or bad.
>>
>>12034357
That and it took elements from the popular arcade games. The NES version has most of the fighters from both arcade pinchout games.

They just censored a few things, like renaming "vodka drunkenski" into " Soda popinski".

+ Yoshi's Island and Paper Mario. Sunshine could've made the list with some refinement. Mario Kart DS as well, but the list is less than ten. Mustache Party and Tennis weren't developed by them. Considering the moveset Smash isn't even a game it's a mini-game.

>Could've picked San Andreas or Half-Life 2

i refuse to believe that people ever liked virtua fighter that much
>>
>>12039720
It's there because it was the first 3d fighter and was playable not because it's some amazing timeless game.
>>
>>12039714
>Bonanza Bros over Mario World
I was in awe of World's presentation + yoshi as a kid, but I never owned the game until I was an adult,. At that point, the pretty colors didn't do as much for me, and I realize it was starkly inferior to SMB3.

Bonanza Bros is fun and underrated.

I think StarCraft deserves the '98 spot. It is still played to this day, and had fucking shitloads of great custom games, you could play online with your friends, make new friends, man the old bnet friendlist was way too small.
