Mini-rant ahead:

 

How can any of the GTA games be in contention for "best game ever"? They're fun and all, but seriously..I don't think people would mark out for them so much if it wasn't for the "steal cars, kill people" bit.

 

I'll pop up with my list later.

Well, GTA 3 is STILL $40 - $50 and still in the Top 10 sales list. It was one of those games where you could really do what you wanted and not worry about the plot.

 

Anyway, my list:

 

1) Zelda: The Wind Waker (people thought the cartoony nature of the graphics would be a disaster. They were wrong).

 

2) GTA III/Vice City (for the reasons I stated above)

 

3) Madden 2003 (best football game ever)

 

4) Halo (Kept a fairly weak X-Box debut from being a total loss)

 

5) Metal Gear Solid (They didn't totally fuck up the plot like he did in MGS 2)

3) Madden 2003 (best football game ever)

How so?

 

It's just an updated version of Madden 2003... NFL 2K3 ownz it. Hopefully Sega will continue to enhance their series.

 

I don't have how GTA are on "best game ever" either... it's fun, yes, but very far from the best.

Might want to edit that ;) . I never played 2002. I tried out NFL2K3, but the playcalling screen was pretty odd and unnecessarily complex (it took a little too long to find the play I wanted).

I agree.

 

The playcalling in 2K3 sucks ass, but it still is better in Madden in pure gameplay.

Because when GTA3 came out, it blew most people away. Here was a console game that not only pushed the limits on content, but also was pretty much open-ended and let you go and do just about anything. (Now I know that you couldn't *really* go and do *anything you wanted* but you get my drift) It was pretty much something completely new. This is why it made my list. While you could do more in Vice City, it wasn't new. We'd pretty much seen it all in GTA3. When GTA3 came out, nobody had really seen anything like it before.

1) Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII (PS2) - The best in the series to date (that has been released stateside).

2) Halo (XBOX) - Best Shooter to Date. Yes Better than Goldeneye.

3) Metroid Prime (GC) - Not quite a 1st person shooter but rather a 1st person adventure. Almost like playing the original in 3D.

4) Capcom v. SNK 2: Millionare Fighting (DC) - Keep on Rockin' Baby!

5) Conker's Bad Fur Day (n64) - The Muiltiplayer, the Single Player, the Beer, and the low brow comedy make this must OWN title for n64.

 

Honorable Mention- Dynasty Warriors 4, GTA3, Zelda: Wind Waker, Fire Pro D, and Mechassault.

Wow, just five? That's pretty hard.

 

1. Metal Gear Solid - The gameplay and plot are both perfect. I've never gotten as emotionally attached to a game as I did to MGS.

2. Metal Gear Solid 2 - Better gameplay, worse plot than the original, but still one of the best plots in videogames. Would have been first if it wasn't for the questionable ending.

3. Soul Calibur 2 - I like Tekken 4's core gameplay just as much, but this is a much better port. And it actually has weapons this time, unlike the imo disappointing DC SC1 port.

4. Suikoden 2 - Amazing plot and gameplay, although the port was a little sloppy. Proofread the translations!

5. Vagrant Story - Incredible sleeper hit that really needs a sequel.

What are you talking about with the weapons?

 

And I don't see how *anyone* can say that the DC port of Soul Calibur was disappointing. First off, have you seen what it looked like in the arcades and then compared it to the DC version? It's crazy how much better it looks on DC. Second, the gameplay is the same, AND there's more shit to do in the DC version (Mission Mode)

Arent both OOT and Goldeneye older than 5 years?

OoT was 1998, so I guess you're right. I don't like Goldeneye, so I don't know when that came out, but you're probably right about that.

 

Oh well, OoT is still the best game I've ever played. If you want to get technical, replace my vote for OoT with Majora's Mask. =P

Mission Mode is what you get when you take Edge-Master mode from Soul Blade, make it more tedious and eliminate all the payoff. People that hail it as some sort of innovation clearly never played the original game. In Soul Blade (and thankfully also in SC2), when you go through all those missions, you unlock weapons with different characteristics that the characters can then use in other modes. Weapons would have attributes like attack, defense, strength and toughness (back when you could break weapons) and speed, and would also have special features like healing, block damage or extra length. Each character had eight weapons in Soul Blade, and now each character has twelve weapons in SC2. In SC1, there weren't weapons (except for the placebo EM weapons, heh). Namco gave some bullshit reason about how it wasn't possible because it would be too hard to render graphically, but they obviously didn't have any trouble doing that in SB or SC2.

 

As for why I consider SC1 disappointing, it's all about the port. Yes, the graphics are beautiful. However, graphics are also the least important part of the game to me. The SB port had three seperate soundtracks, all of which were excellent, an unbelievable FMV intro, and animated endings that would actually change if you did certain things during the ending. It also had the aforementioned weapons. SC1 had the same awful text endings from the arcade, a bland non-FMV intro and solid but unmemorable music, along with no weapons and the plot-driven Edge Master mode replaced with the plotless and highly tedious Mission Mode, which didn't give enough payoff to justify all the effort. The gameplay is still rock solid, but the port was lacking, again imo.
