1999 for me because of Age of Empires II and Quake III Arena

blindsight,

Q3A was released October 22, 2000.

2000 is a contender for retro gaming “best year”.

Diablo 2 (still the best one, imho)
Q3A
Jet Set Radio
Baldur’s Gate 2
Deus Ex
Paper Mario
No One Lives Forever
Counter Strike
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver

Anyway, late 90s early 00s had a lot of banger years with awesome new IPs dropping regularly. The last 5-10 years have been amazing for indie games, but AAA games are just fancier versions of what we already have, for the most part.

fushuan,

2000 had Diablo 2, so, 2000

'93 had Doom and we’re still installing Doom on things.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

If it doesn’t run doom, is it even a computer?

Mutoid,

In computer science we should say that a machine is DOOM complete

The original Doom and Doom II still unironically kick arse. There are updated engines that allow fancy things like looking up and down the the mouse but other than that (and maybe making the graphics prettier) there's very little you could do to improve those games

I can’t say if it was the best year as I haven’t looked through every year, but 2011 was a pretty strong year that sticks out in my mind

en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:201…

Some notable titles (for me) were skyrim, portal 2, LA Noir, ocarina of time 3D, star fox 3D(do these two count? They were technically remakes for the 3DS), skyward sword, Dark souls.

Other titles that might be notable (there might be more that I don’t list, I’m just skimming quickly) Amnesia, battlefield 3, COD MW3, Catherine, Crysis 2, dead space 2, gears of War 3, hatoful boyfriend, little big planet 2, Mario kart 7, mortal kombat (2011), no more room in hell, red orchestra 2, saints row 3, SMT devil survivor 2, tekken tag tournament 2, terraria, track mania 2.

Again there might be some i missed(especially playstation releases, I think i maybe missed a resistance game or something) but those were some notable ones I saw.

Oh boy, I’m going to have to think about that one…

We need something like boxofficemojo.com for games listing everything by year.

For movies, 1982 was HUGE.

www.boxofficemojo.com/year/1982/?ref_=bo_yl_table…

For games? Imma need to do research…

BlahajEnjoyer,

I was born in 99’ so 2007 was my year.

banana_meccanica,

Tekken 3 was good evolution of tekken games, big deal and very fun to play. I think 1998 is a console gaming year, cd-base, while still PC system have to deal with hardware improve.
