Can 2017 be crowned as the best year in gaming already?

Since when did best year in gaming have that connatation? 1985 would be the best year in gaming then.

 

That being said, I give up. The point wasnt that 1998 isnt the best year but that the highlighted titles were misleading. So ill just say this : 1998 is objectively the best year in gaming.Are you happy noe? ; (

I'm not sure how you can look at it any other way really. 

The problem with his viewpoint for this conversation is that he is not taking into account timing which is the key part of this covnversation. Let me give a brief example of how his argument falls short:

 

Half life 2 and Starcraft 2, in his opinion, are preferred to Half Life and Starcraft respectively, correct? Rainbow 6 3 is considered more beloved than Rainbox Six, right? Grand Theft Auto III is considered more beloved than Body Harvest, right? Well, true. So lets look at the year each of these more beloved titles released, shall we? 

Half Life 2 - 2004.

Starcraft 2 - 2010.

Rainbow 6 III - 2003.

Grand Theft Auto III - 2001

 

You see, the conversation is not about if those games are the best games ever. The question is about the amount of quality in each game during the calander year TIME FRAME THEY WERE RELEASED. Different argument entirely. Now, if he was saying Half Life 2, Starcraft 2, Rainbow 6 III, and Grand Theft Auto III are all considered more favorable to the games of 1998 and they all released in 2004 (just an example year), then he would have an argument. As it stands, he does not because his argument is not in line with the conversation at hand.
