98 is a fantastic year in gaming but 2001 can compete.

Close second Donkey, so honestly I shouldn't have said it's not even close but 1998 is just too strong! 1994 has my favorite game out of both years with FF VI, hell Super Metroid is right there but overall with: OOT, Metal Gear, Half Life, Tactics, RE2, Baulders Gate, Fallout 2, Thief, Unreal, Star Craft, Rogue Squadron, Parasite Eve, Grim Fandango, Xenogears, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Suikoden II, Myth 2, Sonic Adventure, Jesus Christ after making those never mind I was right, it isn't close! What a fucking lineup! You will NEVER see that again!

Was Phantasy Star IV released in 1994?

Wait, some of your list was released in 1999.

Like FFT was released in JP in June of 1997 but I guess we are going off of Western release dates.

Wait, do Pal users get to vote? Some of them didn't get to play Xenogears and etc.

2000, 1987, 1999, 2004, and 1991 round out the top 10

gaming has been absolute shit since 2007

That last quarter of 2001 was insane. DMC3, GTAIII, Max Payne, Halo 1, MGS2, SHII, FFX, smash bros melee, and etc.

The last quarter was where it catches up but it's not as consistent at the others and if it had a better FF it would be much stronger

FFX is generally considered to be one of the top three most popular FFs. It can't do THAT much better.

1998 wins if you're into its very historic PC offerings. If you're a console guy, 2001 runs away with it. The mix of quality and quantity across genres is pretty much unrivaled.

No that's actually a pretty common order give or take. Let me guess, you think gaming is better than ever....

FFX is overrated AF and check my list above, many of those games are great console games too but who cares if it's got PC games in it, great games are great games and 2001 can't compare

No, the 90's had a lot of consistently great years compared to today. There are some terrible years in the modern era but 2003 and 2011 were some great years. I would put them ahead of 94 and 95. 2017 looks like it will finish as a great year also.

2003 and 2011 aren't bettter than any of those years and do you think 2017 is going to go down as an all time great year!?

It's always interesting when the discussion can be divided into two kinds of people: "This is why X is winning" and "I don't care about that, I want X to win, wah!"

I still play those games to this day and live every minute. You keep enjoying your completely casualized, watered down pretty movies. OMG you have Titus as your avatar and FF XIII-2 as near perfect, hahahahahahahaha! Yeah we're done here
