radiofloyd Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 We’re going by EU release dates right? Because otherwise that complicates things. For example Persona 4 was released in 2009 in Europe, not 2008. 2004 - San Andreas 2005 - 2006 - Dragon Quest VIII 2007 - Bioshock 2008 - Fallout 3 2009 - Persona 4 2010 - Red Dead Redemption 2011 - Dark Souls 2012 - Super Hexagon 2013 - Kentucky Route Zero 2014 - Transistor 2015 - The Witcher 3 2016 - Dark Souls 3 2017 - Hollow Knight 2018 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 This was a fun look back! My memory isn't great, so I'm sure I'm missing some obvious ones, but I thought I'd add a couple of runners up for each year: 2004 - Paper Mario : The Thousand Year Door (Pikmin 2, Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes) 2005 - Resident Evil 4 (Psychonauts, Mario Kart DS) 2006 - Wii Sports (LocoRoco, Gears of War) 2007 - Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare (Bioshock, The Orange Box) 2008 - Burnout Paradise (Gears of War 2, Braid) 2009 - Batman : Arkham Asylum (Trials HD, Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves) 2010 - Red Dead Redemption (Mass Effect 2, Deadly Premonition) 2011 - Dark Souls (Gears of War 3, Portal 2) 2012 - Call of Duty : Black Ops II (Rocksmith, Mark of the Ninja) 2013 - The Last of Us (Rogue Legacy, Bioshock Infinite) 2014 - Mario Kart 8 (Dark Souls II, Plants vs Zombies : Garden Warfare) 2015 - Bloodborne (Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain, The Witcher III) 2016 - Clash Royale (Overwatch, Dark Souls III) 2017 - The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild (Yakuza 0, Resident Evil 7) 2018 - God of War (Tetris Effect, Dead Cells) It's not an opinion that will blow anyone's minds, but 2007 and 2017 were straight up bangers of too many good games.

DANGERMAN Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 as a curiosity, here's a few of the old threads for what people picked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Looking at that and seeing me majorly shout out to Lone Survivor brings back mixed memories. I was horribly depressed at the time and related to it in a worrying manner. I should go back to it as it did help me a little to contextualise things. A real cool game. I massively recommend it if you're a sad boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
