Which is the most overrated game on GameFAQs.

There is NO WAY in hell that 2001 was a better year in gaming then 1997 or 1995.

2001 is probably the best year. Take out Melee and it's still fantastic.

Well it is because it has way more games of many genres across more platforms and has more variety as well. I can see some 90's nostalgia fanboy saying something like that.

97 is a lot better than 95 i'll give it that

95 is a fucking terrible year. Same with 96. Both years are awful with a few standout games. Especially if you lived in Europe where CT didn't even exist. Can't believe anyone who is serous about games would say 95 is better than 2001. 97 you can make some sort of argument due to the number of decent PS1/N64 games.

2001 is one of the biggest and deepest years in gaming including 2 major consoles releases. Basically the two years that will be in the final are the two best and most stacked years in terms of gaming. Theres no arguments to be had. You have to look at variety, amount of games per system the quality of those games the number of genres and the best games of those genres.

I have no idea why. I cant stand the melee community and they are IMO a cesspool to the FGC. Plus its not a fighting game.

I forgot CT never came out in Europe. That is crazy.

Also 1995 was a huge year because the PS1 and Saturn came out. 1995 was the start of disc based console and never looked back.

Noone cares about console releases. It's about games.

2001 got Xbox, GBA and Gamecube. And unlike the Ps1 and Saturn they were supported by a much better launch lineup of games. We haven't talked about PS2's second year and having some incredibly well made games too.

Wait, Halo came out in 2001? huh, yep. Weird how it's not even in the picture.

Anyway, does 1997 even have one game as good as FFX or Paper Mario or Advance Wars? Cause I'm not seeing one in the picture roll.

Then you're completely wrong, because even today, in 2017, every comment about Castlevania games and any done in the same style of SoTN is how they're not as good as SoTN. A game that old still having relevance in today's gaming society is huge. Even Smash Bros isn't that relevant.

Yes it is. It really is. The only true flaw is its lack of difficulty. No other Metroidvania only has one flaw.

I don't get this topic though. It's supposedly trying to insult Melee specifically. But if he's saying that 2001 is only winning because of Melee, then isn't that insulting every other game instead? It's like saying that without Melee, 2001 would be losing, because every other game is bad. That's like the opposite of what he was meaning to say, isn't it?

Okay, well ive never played a castlevania game because they didnt interest me. Only played one mega man game when i was a kid and couldnt get into it. And star fox 64 was just okay to me, though i got why people liked it. It always struck me as more of a game that was better on paper than in actuality.

So yeah, me under 10 years old apparently had bad taste. But those being games 2-4 in a year sounds like a very average to bad year to me.

What does Dad Pizza think?


My dad almost died last year in a major car accident and is in a nursing home back in Michigan. Some lady lost control of her car le going too fast and alot of bones in my dad were broken. He also died twice and had a stroke. Had septic shock and sepsis. Pneumonia twice, bloodclots twice. Had to have a ventilator go through his windpipe due to the trauma to his ribs and left lung.

And now hes slowly learning how to walk again and is wheelchairing himself. He has nothing in him anymore and is breathing on his own. But hes lost the use of his left hand due to the stroke. And his left arm is limited too. :(

Also my girlfriend's dad died last year. Teddie one of our two cats died also while dad was in Michigan due to the accident. And i had to get rid of all my cats but 1 which was Kuma.

So fuck 2016. Also the bitch didn't have car insurance. So i can't sue her except civil maybe for my Dad.
