in my opinion, '98 was the best year for game releases. What's yours?

98 has some of my favorite games to ever come out, like:

  • Marvel vs. Capcom
  • 1080 Snowboarding
  • NFS3 Hot Pursuit
  • Tekken 3
  • Starcraft + Brood wars
  • Commandos
  • Fifa 99
  • Pokemon
  • Fallout 2
  • Half Life
  • Ocarina of Time
  • Baldur's Gate

And many more

  • 1998 was so sick. Just a few more:

    • Metal Gear Solid
    • Resident Evil 2
    • Turok 2
    • Thief: The Dark Project
    • Banjo-Kazooie
    • Goldeneye 007
    • Tomb Raider III

    The list goes on and on, I still play games from that year today.

  • Honestly I genuinely think that 2017 might be the best year of gaming, ever. Breath of the wild, nier automata, mario odyssey, fortnite, cuphead, horizon zero dawn, hellblade: senua's sacrifice, destiny 2, xenoblade chronicles 2, prey, sonic mania, injustice 2, divinity original sin 2, nioh, splatoon 2, hollow knight, middle earth: shadow of war, night in the woods, pubg, pyre, yakuzas 0 and kiwami, even tekken 7's console release and persona 5's western release if you want to count those. And that's not mentioning the smaller indie games that were acclaimed within their circles like Absolver or the expansions for games that were critically acclaimed like Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire or Final Fantasy: Stormblood. Like, '98 is legendary for a reason but I think that as far as just, number of incredible games released we've never seen a year like 2017.

    • The fact that botw and Mario Odyssey came out in the same year is wild. What a great year. Plus Nier on top of that? Damn.

      • Yeah it's wild to me that 2017 isn't brought up more often in these conversations it's an absurdly stacked year

  • For my fellow space lovers: 2003

    EvE + Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

    You are welcome 😄

    • Jedi Academy was that year too! Though Need for Speed : Underground was probably the one I connected the most with

  • Tekken 3 was good evolution of tekken games, big deal and very fun to play. I think 1998 is a console gaming year, cd-base, while still PC system have to deal with hardware improve.
