2004>1998>2001>2010>rest
proof me wrong

here we go with this inaccurate image again

Why do Sonyggers ride FFX's cock so much? It's not even the best FF PS2 game.

2004 was the GOAT

Nostalgia

What's so special about 2010?

1998 because the PS1 and N64 were shitting out gems.

I want to go back

a lot of good games came out during that year?

Nah, it's 1998.

name 20 exclusives from each console

Name 10

Can't recall 20 of them, i just remember getting a shitload of games fom each. Gran turismo 2, zelda oot, goemon, kirby64, ducati racing, motogp, supercross, road rash 64, dk64, banjo kazooie, sm64, mk64, killer instinct gold, goldeneye 007, turok rage wars and so on.God tier games.

>tfw gaming will never pump out great to god tier titles like they did in '98 or '01 ever again
>tfw its more lucrative to release half baked soulless garbage than it is to make titles full of love and care.

I want to go back bros

And on the PS1 side there's FF7, MGS1, Crash 3, Spyro, Klonoa, Resident Evil 2, Xenogears, Castlevania SOTN, MediEvil and much more.

Donkey Kong Country Returns
Darksiders
Vanquish
Deadly Premonition
No More Heroes 2
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
Mega Man 10
Resonance of Fate
Nier
Skate 3

you mean 2004

ocarina of time and xenogears are more than enough, literal masterpieces that will never be topped

I know theres a shitload of amazing titles on ps1, even more than on n64, but i dont remember there names. I have both consoles and a huge backlog for both, i fucming love it, just put a big cock in my ass and shit all on my chest

>FF7
>MGS1
>Resident Evil 2
>SOTN
>exclusive

>Darksiders
Zelda/GoW knockoff
>Deadly Premonition
Literal meme game

Otherwise not bad list.

Maybe if Xenogears was finished that would be true.

They are exclusive and or better on ps1 to n64, like when people talk of RE4 they mean the gamecube/wii version not the ps2 version.

But keep up with your pedantic BS m8, we're just here to talk about great to god tier titles from the ps64 era

The PC ports of FF7 and MGS1 were ass. SOTN was indeed exclusive unless you were a Jap with a Saturn. You're right about RE2 though, forgot about the port for that one.

>trying to redefine the meaning of "exclusive"

pathetic.

>he thinks ports 20 years in the future break exclusivity in '98

Good goy

maybe you should do some research on when those games lost its exclusivity before you say something retarded like that.

Oh bullshit. Xenogears was an unpolished mess.

PSX
Soul Caliber
Xeno Gears
Wild Arms
Xeno Gears
Tobal 1
Bushido Blade
Vagarate story
Valkyrie profile
Legend of Legaia
Suikoden
Silent Hill
Croc
Tomba
Breath of Fire 3
Twisted Metal
Ridge racer
Project Horned Owl
rhapsody
Alundra
Beyond the Beyond

Soul Blade is what it's called, actually.

You listed Xeno Gears twice.

>Beyond the Beyond

Ew

>having to list xenogears twice
also
>Suikoden
>Croc
>Twisted Metal
not exclusives. Also, games like soul calibur and ridge racer were on arcades so technically it isnt a ps1 exclusive but i will let it slide because you are having this much trouble listing 20 good ps1 exclusives that came out in 1998 but i guess we are past that

This. 2001 was a good runner up for second place though.

>having to list xenogears twice
>that came out in 1998 but i guess we are past that
Ah shit sorry.
>Suikoden
>Twisted Metal
>not exclusives
They weren't?

Honestly, there was no bad year until 2006~2007. Things have been looking pretty grim ever since, with few exceptions.

Suikoden was on the saturn & pc
Twisted Metal was on the pc

Where's Unreal?

>1998
>a bunch of PC games come out
>2001
>all PC developers move to the PS2
>PC versions of multiplatform titles were exceptionally rare

ps2 too stronk

I didn't make this image, just googled for one that had enough games to prove the point. The fact that there's even more great games not listed just goes to show how good 1998 was.

Aahhhhh

What about MediEvil?

Now that's a system selling lineup

humph, never knew they had PC releases.

I'm pretty sure the years 1997-2000 will be remembered as the peak of human civilisation.

2011 getting no love

The Witcher games are so overrated.

...

You're using overrated incorrectly. You don't use overrated to describe popular things you don't like.

blast my fucking face

Dead Space 2 deserves a lot more love than it gets. Sure, it's not actually horror or anything like that, but it's a fucking superb action game.

Because 1995 was.

No I'm not. The series is not deserving of it's praise.

The characters, story, and combat are garbage.

but its official and all sony exclusive at the time

fuck you, lets see MS version for xbox

>fall and holiday 2001 exclusive software titles
>silent hill 2 was ported on december of 2001

sure it is

what?

croc was on saturn, but the other two weren't

you fuck

god all of you in this thread are fucking retarded, was I the ONLY PERSON who understands this shit because you dumbasses are proving it very hard.

Except for SOTN, they were all exclusive to ps1 at the time of release and throughout 1998

Just like gta 3, vice city and san andreas were ps2 exclusives for a time.

stay retarded

The combat sure(still isn't the worst gameplay out there), but you're just being stupid with the other stuff. The story, music, characters, and visuals were excellent in The Witcher 2.

>FF7
>1998

Yeah it's a close contest between X and X-2 desu

I forgot that ff7 came out in 97 but the point i was trying to make was that it was a ps1 exclusive for some time.

2011 was better

Pick any one year in the last 2 decades and list 20 "good" exclusive games each for the 2 most prominent consoles

>dark alliance
>PS2 exclusive

every time

lower budgets and dev time, so companies were able to push out games faster and try newer things with not as much risk as a new IP would be now.

Small companies could also jump into the fray with their own games.

It was exclusive until it was released on GC and XBox a year later
