Nostalgia then. Of course those games broke bounds, they were released in the period of a major turning point in gaming (3D, cinematics, analog control, etc.). However, and I quote him:
"Has there been a game released this generation that is better, or more epoch-defining, than a single one of those games released in that one year?"
And the answer is most certainly yes. I'm sorry for him if he wants to live in 1998, but let's face it. By your criteria, most of the games that were released in 1998 were just refined versions of past games too. Where's the line anyways? Are the first games in their genres so ground breaking and amazing just because they were the first to do something? Resident Evil 2 certainly wasn't the first game of its kind, nor was Ocarina of Time. I don't play "epoch-defining," I play fun. There's plenty of that to be had these days.
