Like wtf is going on? WoW beats all the 94 games alone.

The only 94 game on there that is legendary is FF3/6.

Relative to WoW imo no. And that's just ONE 04 game. WoW has been out 13 years and is STILL the most popular and most played MMO to this day. That's huge.

Super Metroid is on like half of the critic top 10's of all time.


WoW is in some top 50's on the same.

Yeah, it's not even CLOSE to as Legendary as SM. Adding FF VI and MMX just makes it a burial.

Source? I don't think they've ever had multiple millions of active subscriptions, and WoW has gotten more popular with Legion than it has been in a long time.

These polls must be voted on by 43 year old single men who have serious nostalgia glasses on. I know how would anybody DARE include Halo 2 as a best game for 2004. I mean it only single handily kept xbl afloat and is/was considered one of the best FPS of all time. WHAT A FOOL I AM.

FF14 has never had over 1 million active players. The best anyone can figure is about 800k active from the unofficial census,

FF14s only multi-million number they've stated is over 5 million accounts, which is not the same thing, and WoW has well over 100 million accounts. Account numbers are pretty meaningless.

WoW is still the most played MMO on the market.

Snake Eater is a worse game than MGS1 and 2
Half Life 2? Really? GFNW
WoW was fun for about a year, by Burning Crusade it was getting stale, and is one of the most overrated games of all time (I'd also argue that War 3/WoW ruined Blizzard)
Sand Andreas! Seriously though, San Andreas is the only GTA game worth a fuck

None of those games beat out 1994's best though. LOL

I've actually started for the first time; playing Tree of Savior and am loving it.

Tried WoW for the first time a year or two ago, incidentally, and was fairly unimpressed. Voted for 1994.

Oh yeah, none of them beat out those 2d side scrolling games and insanely outdated JRPG games . Every major series listed there besides FF from 1994 is either dead or right there near it. FF doesn't have acclaim on its side anymore. You're deluded if you think otherwise .

Don't get me wrong, it was a good year. But it's not had the impact on gaming that 2004 had at all.

10 years later, were any of the best games of 2004 even similar to those of 1994? Nope, not only that but many of the mechanics and ideas from the games listed in 2004 are still being used today for new games.

Heck, by 2001 the console Metroid games went fps to stay relevant and Sonic had to go full 3D.

Again, 1985 and 2007 should be your winners then. The NES ushered in an era of gaming development that didnt start to change till 2007.

man i can think of hundreds of games that adopted ideas in the vein of super metroid. hell, even the basic idea of a relatively open-world explorative game executed to that extent was pretty huge for that time.

ultimately things changed substantially in the transition from 2d to 3d. but to the extent that 2d games continue/continued to be made, hell yeah super metroid was a trendsetter.

and man, anyone who even cares about speedgaming has super metroid to thank for such a thing even being relevant.

To be fair, warcraft hasn't really been going places either. I would be shocked if they actually made Warcraft 4. If they make a new side-game like Hearthstone these days, it would probably be branded with Overwatch, not Warcraft.

Half Life is dead; all of the Half Life writers have left Valve now.

MGS is basically done now that Kojima left Konami.

As someone who held the Super Metroid speed run record back in 2001...nah, this is not true. I believe it was Quake that started the online speed running scene, because it allowed you to save replays and the replays were small enough to share over slow internet connections of the 90s. Back when I was speedrunning, Quake websites were where Super Metroid people would upload our speed run videos, because they were way bigger than us, and had video uploading in 2001 (hard to find!) I never had the video capture hardware to make a video, unfortunately.

it was very important to speed runs, but it didnt start them. For example people had been speed running Super Mario Bros to some popularity back in the 80s even.
