  • SHREK
  • Twisted Metal Black

2001 had all those games? That was awesome.

I for some reason always thought 2004 was one of the best years for gaming in the early 2000's. I don't remember why, it just stuck with me "2004."

@Silent_Gunner I'm not just doing launch games.

@Essometer Arbitrary? I just went off games that were on my mind, along with some popular picks.

@Scott_pilgrim In both years?

@VinsCool The fact that I didn't even recognize that many of those games released this year is a problem. No matter what, I doubt anyone would argue that 2020 is better for the industry than 2001.

I still left out many games for 2001. Many, MANY games. Even considering more niche games, something tells me Klonoa 2 would leave far more of an impact on anybody than Sackboy.

I was born in 2001, great year for gaming.
I prefer 2004 though, most of the PC games from my childhood were from 2004-early 2005 (I got my first PC in 2007).

And as a console I had a Super Nintendo, then PS1 for years. I was born in the PS2 era, and went through the PS3 era with a SNES and PS1, and boy am I glad that happened, my taste in games would've been a lot different if my family was better off back then.

When I read the title, I thought this was gonna be comparing 9/11 to events in 2020 or something like that
Also, why isn't The Origami King on the 2020 list?

@banjo2 The fact that Origami King didn't come to mind is inherently a problem. No matter what, something happened to make me forget the release date. It doesn't even necessarily mean anything about the game itself, but this year in gaming is doing something wrong.

@RichardTheKing Persona 5 Royal originally released in 2019.

@RichardTheKing I don't care. It released in 2019 first, so it released in 2019. The console is region-free anyway.

@HylianBran There's also how The Game Awards has it up for this year's "Best RPG" selection.
So Persona 5 Royal is a 2020 game, and one of the best released this year.

@ChicoPancho Age of Calamity...eh. Nah. Runs like :shit: despite supposedly being built specifically for the Switch, and the universe just isn't at all interesting; the first Hyrule Warriors game was far more engaging than this will ever be. Or, if you want a good "Dynasty Warriors" Switch game, there's Fire Emblem Warriors. If you want a good "Legend of Zelda" game, there's Link's Awakening - they have unfortunately not released any other Legend of Zelda games for this console yet, when the Wii U got two remasters of fantastic games.

@RichardTheKing I don't care about the fucking Game Awards. The game released in 2019. I would've included it if it was released in 2020. Also, Wind Waker is a unfinished, shallow, and boring game.
