So you only value giant triple A games??

I enjoy every type of good games, i don't need 98mc games to consider a year great...

For people who like action game or tps, gears5 and dmc 5 are probably better than any game you listed in your post...

I hated both those games

 

[Hideous Snake]

Don't we say that every year?

Level design in action game are always been simple, but the combat is some of the best you can find in action games, you don't really need that much to be an excellent action game, look at bayonetta.

Ninja Gaiden Black has the best combat in any action game, and its got zelda-lite exploration and puzzle solving. Linear, A-B, level design isn't a prerequisite for a good action game.

No, it's '98 with MGS, OoT, Half-Life, Banjo, RE2, Xenogears, Baldurs Gate, F-Zero X, Grim Fandango and Spyro.

yeah but people remember that game for the combat, not for the rest, let's be honest here.
of course if you have other thing beside the combat is always good, but a pure action is defined by his combat for the most part.

i was talking in general, i'm not really a fan of gears5 too.

 

[Stefan.North]

Almost none of them?

Xenogears, Half-Life, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Starcraft, Banjo Kazooie, Spyro The Dragon, Xenogears, Medievil, Rogue Squadron, Baldur's Gate, Parasite Eve, 1080 Snowboarding, Unreal, Radiant Silvergun were all new IPs in 1998

Maybe not remembered for it, but not forgotten about either. Ninja Gaiden 2 arguably has better combat than Black, but Black is held in higher regard because it was more than just a straight forward linear action game.

fair point.

what a great year that was.

Panzer Dragoon Saga was the third game in its lineup, Rogue Squadron and Baldur's Gate were not new IPs (based on Star Wars and on D&D Forgotten Realms). I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I just think it's interesting how most of the notable games he listed were sequels, that's all.

I'm sure it's going to be a solid year but I'm just going to continue to take one day at a time. I still have a landslide of games from this year to play, f.ex. Resident Evil 2 which has sat unplayed on my SSD for a long time already... I need more hours in a day, 24 is NOT enough.

I am ordering the grave stone and preparing a funeral for my wallet in 2020.

 

[EightBit Man]

Not even close with that lackluster list.

I honestly don't think 1998 will ever be beaten

1994 wasn't too shabby either.
