Definitely, but 98" was stronger.

Sorry man, 1998. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Party, Banjo-Kazooie, F-Zero X, Metal Gear Solid, StarCraft, Half Life, Parasite Eve, Rainbow 6, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Fallout 2, Resident Evil 2, Xenogears, Tomb Raider 3, Sonic Adventure, Suikoden 2, Pokémon Yellow, it doesn't even end there.

damn that is great list

A little slow for me with Nioh and Persona 5.

A nice Action RPG and a nice JRPG. I still need a good strategy game and I am not sure Nobunaga's Ambition will do the job. I want Dynasty Warriors 9 to release this year but it is looking to barely miss it, which would fill my niche of hack and slash. A good WRPG like Elder Scrolls 6 would have topped the year off too. Also even a game like Infamous 3 would have been great, but Sucker Punch keeps on being quiet.

Just because I am curious, I will organize my years.

2017:so far:
1 JRPG
1 Action RPG

2016:
1 JRPG
1 Action RPG
1 Strategy

2015:
1 WRPG
2 JRPG
1 Action RPG

2014:
Infamous
1 hack and slash
1 WRPG

So according to my preferences 2015 was the best and 2014 and 2016 were worthwhile. 2017 has yet to be great, but we still got time :).

Damn impressive, but like others said '98 really challenges it. Let's not forget that 2018 so far has:

Legit spiderman game
god of war
dragonball fighterz
First home console HD pokemon RPG
Metroid Prime
Kirby
Yoshi
Shin Megami Tensei Switch
No More Heroes 2
Ni no Kuni 2
Monster Hunter world
Red Dead Redemption 2
Darksiders 3
Ori and the will of the wisps
Last of us Part 2
Kingdom Hearts 3

Jesus anyone who thinks 2017 is the best isn't gonna be ready for 2018

lol

I'm on the 'releases very late 2018 or probably 2019' boat, but that list is still legendary without it. Star of the fist North is also coming in 2018

Of course. Breath of the Wild released this year.

Yes. King of the Wild is so awesome.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Persona 5 and BOTW alone make 2017 one of my fav years in gaming.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Count arms too.
My girl loved it soo much. A completely new experience, feels I never played something like that before(on contrary of 99% of the games)



Nem on 12 September 2017

Yeah... no. It's pretty decent though.
