    The best year in gaming was 2001. Nothing else even comes close.

    Halo

    Super Smash Bros Melee

    Devil May Cry

    Jak and Daxter

    GTA 3

    Metal Gear 2

    Max Payne

    Advance Wars

    Animal Crossing

    Final Fantasy X

    Silent Hill 2

    Conkers Bad Fur Day

    I could keep going. It’s literally not even a competition. Some of the biggest game series ever got their start that year. Sequels released that year are arguably some of the strongest ones in the series.

    2023 was a great year for games, but it’s nothing compared to impact 2001 had.

      All right, that is indeed a hell of a list. You’ve got good story, good gameplay, genre innovation, it’s all there

      I would argue that “the best year in gaming” highly depends on taste and generation.

      To me that year doesn’t seem that good.

      I personally think it’s pretty useless to even compare years in this way.

      But 2011 was neat, because Portal 2 is the best game. Minecraft was pretty good too.
