As far as a game that was thought of and created. Games that feel that they normally would have never existed.

1. Kingdom Hearts. This doesn't seem like a big deal anymore but it WAS in 2001

2. Devil May Cry as it was going to be a Resident Evil game.

3. Duke Nukem Forever.

4. MGS3 Snake Eater. The fact that we had Big Boss as a main character and it was in a jungle in the 60's was pretty unexpected and bad ass.

5. RE4. They ditched zombies and made a rookie cop a Secret Service bad ass. Was Leon CIA? I forget. Not to mention that this game was overhauled so many times. Not only did the original RE4 become DMC1 which basically invented a new genre, but the finished RE4 that we know today ALSO did. That's nuts. How often does that happen? Two games that originally had the same title invented two new genres/sub-genres.

6. Persona 4 Arena. I never expected this at all.

Dark Souls' influence.

like, it doesn't have the flashiest combat, the narrative is mostly told through the descriptions of stuff you pick up, and it doesn't hold your hand.

and somehow it pretty much became the most influential franchise from last gen.

man i dont know why youre going there since that wasnt the point of my post but ill bite.

the new gun was dumb. only worked on plagas and had a stupid battery mechanic .very dumb afterthought. costumes have no effect on gameplay and were joke costumes.

dont remember the side campaign so it mustve been forgetable.

The new gun worked on literally every enemy and one tapped everything

The costumes made Ashley invincible and not able to be kidnapped. It also gave the typewriter a different model and new animations for Leon.

Separate ways was much superior to assignment Ada and the lame ass mercs game mode.

The GCN version of RE4 is the worst.

PS2 version look so bad compared to the GCN version. Wii version was the best console version for years.

I also wanna add the first Super Smash Bros.

it came out when I was in middle school or early high school, I think, and the concept of Mario vs Link, or Donkey Kong vs Samus was really crazy to me at the time.

playing through it gave me some of my favorite gaming memories, too.

Nintendo then accidently helps the playstation become a thing by backing out of the snes cd deal. Definitely a oof moment on their part.

Well. If you really have to know. First thing I did is bring up the 2000s, cycle up a little but it didnt feel right so I landed on 5. The notion of changing it to 2015 tickled me a little. So I posted it. Do you believe me? I dont care.

its just what it is

The first real crossover that I can remember, which was Marvel vs. Capcom.
Fighting games actually being fast when I first tried Guilty Gear X2.
Something personal for me was there were actually great rpgs outside the Final Fantasy franchise, as when I bought Shadow Hearts 1 and love it more than FFX.
Blockbuster and Jumbo video shutting down was a big deal during the mid 2000s.
Samus being a woman
Leaving Midgar for the first time in Final Fantasy 7
Leaving Underworld for the first time in Terranigma
Seeing the 2 giants in Xenoblade Chronicles 1
Seeing Titan in FF13

I'm easily amazed.

I mean, the N64 had a bunch of rated M games.
https://www.mobygames.com/attribute/sheet/attributeId,93/p,9/

And Night Trap was rated M after the founding of the ESRB because of it and Mortal Kombat, both of which released on the NES in 1992.
