[@Blueflag04]

And also the year where Nintendo takes down so many fan games

[@ColinLack]

For 2017 the following games were amazing... Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 0, Resi 7, Nier Automata, Persona 5, Tokyo Xanadu, Yakuza Kiwami, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, A Hat in Time, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Tokyo Xanadu eX+ and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, so that year alone does not deserve to be on this list. 2003 other than Jak II, The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King and Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, yep I agree. Weak year. 1999 - not a weak year off the strength of Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Stadium 2, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Pokemon Pinball, Soulcaliber, Crash Team Racing, Dead or Alive 2, Pokemon Yellow, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, Gran Turismo 2. Though I understand why it was classified as a bad year. 2015 - one of the weakest years ever. Other than a few remasters (big deal), Fallout 4 (also remarkably mediocre) The Witcher 3, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel and Bloodbourne there weren't any good games. 2021 - Nope don't agree. It has been a great year for games. Scott Pilgrim vs The World re-release, Atelier Ryza 2, Disgaea 6, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, Little Nightmares II, Persona 5 Strikers, Bravely Default II, It Takes Two, Oddworld Soulstorm, Nier Replicant remake, New Pokemon Snap, Returnal, Resident Evil 8, Shin Megami Tensei III Remastered, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Scarlet Nexus, Life is Strange: True Colours, Lost Judgement, The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki and Tales of Arise. That alone makes it a very deep year in gaming. 2011 - Little Big Planet 2, Mass Effect 2, Ys I & II Chronicles, Yakuza 4, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in The Sky, InFamous 2, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, Atelier Totori, Batman: Arkham City, Ratchet & Clank: All-4-One, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3. Definitely not a bad year. 1976 - yep agreed, weak year. 2014 - Bravely Default, The Last of Us: Remastered, Conception II: Children of The Seven Stars, Oddworld: New 'N Tasty, Tales of Xillia 2, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Bayonetta 2, Tales of Hearts R, Pokemon Omega Ruby & Sapphire. Not a great year or a bad year. Just average. 2020 - It was a shit year for everyone. But it wasn't a weak year for gaming by any means. Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Bayonetta Remastered, Vanquished Remastered, Langrisser I & II remastered, Ori & The Will of The Wisps, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III (Windows release), Persona 5 Royal, Resident Evil 3, Sakura Wars, Phantasy Star Online 2, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Persona 4 Golden (PC), Catherine Full Body, Ghost of Tsushima, Cuphead (PS4), Destroy All Humans! Remake, The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki (Japan), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 Remake, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV, Astrobot's Playroom, Bugsnax, Demon's Souls, Sackboy A Bid Adventure, Katamari Damacy Reroll, Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Off the catalogue alone this is a deep year. 1982 - yep agreed. Overall though? It feels like whoever wrote this script didn't do enough research.

@DreSaidSo and yet the features added to the remastered were pretty significant. Plus the performance boosts. Also, why are you mentioning 2006? that wasn't even mentioned in the video, nor was it mentioned in my response.

Video game crash be damned.

There really were quite a few good games released that year, no matter what genre you were a fan of.

[@eddiehimself]

With that port of the original Tomb Raider game on the N-Gage for 2003, I'm slightly surprised you didn't mention the repeatedly-delayed-but-still-rushed Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, which was such a flop that it actually killed the company who created Tomb Raider and Lara Croft, Core Design.

[@AndroJonny95]

I mean, I do agree that it had some of the best releases of the generation, but i think with the loot boxes and birth of battle royale and microtransactions being particularly awful that year justifies its place well. I think they explained their reasoning well

[@runamerone5492]

@@AndroJonny95 Eeeh. Now that I've seen the whole video it's clear that this wasn't actually about the worst years in gaming but the years that had the most negative impact on gaming. It's a subtle difference but a difference nonetheless. I know they started by saying that even bad years have good games, but I feel 2017's good vastly, VASTLY outweighed the bad. And I feel that Nintendo and Sony did such a good job showing that the market can be strong without lootboxes and microtransactions that gamers SAW how shitty EA was being and revolted. Stuff like Zelda and Mario Odyssey and so many other 2017 Switch and PS4 titles made it clear that the strong, quality singleplayer experiences weren't going away. And I generally feel that the loot box hatred is going too damn far. I hate them, too....but there's a remarkably easy solution: Don't buy the games that have them. Gaming as a whole has grown so much and has become so diverse that most players can avoid every game with microtransactions, never touch anything from EA or Activision or Ubisoft or Warner Bros, and STILL never catch up on their backlog. IT doesn't matter if you only like three or four genres, there's always going to be a lot of options and you don't have to buy the shitty games. If you don't like seafood, that's fine. Go to an italian place. If you don't like microtransactions, that's fine. play Breath of the Wild or God of War.

Even though Famicom was doing well in Japan and ZX Spectrum in the UK, one can't name a single remarkable console game from that year. Excitebike and Golf are not Super Mario Bros, Metroid or Zelda. Even if you strecht that including computer games, you'll only find niche classics, such as Elite, MULE, Seven Cities of Gold or Jet Set Willy.

Okay, I haven't even finished the video and I can tell this list is ridiculous. 2017, Persona 5 alone disproves that. 2003, we got Soul Calibur II and the U.S. release of the first Xenosaga. 1999, give me a freaking break. Original Syphon Filter, Star Wars: Episode I Racer, original Mario Party, Bloody Roar 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, original Ape Escape, Final Fantasy VIII, Suikoden II, PS port of the first Grandia, Final Fantasy Anthology, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Lunar SSS Complete, if anything 1999 was one of the BEST years in gaming.

No year was a bad year for PC gaming. PC always has the best and worst released every year. It's simply a constant spectrum of good/bad.

My hilight of 2003 was Thug 1

[@NP-ip3nj]

2003 was lacking in games? Here's why you are factually incorrect. Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne (Reason enough by itself) Panzer Dragoon Orta Disaster Report Xenosaga Ep. 1 Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner Siren Golden Sun: The Lost Age Ape Escape 2 Silent Hill 3 F-Zero GX Soul Calibur II The Simpsons: Hit & Run Viewtiful Joe Jak II Time Crisis 3 Legacy of Kain: Defiance Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Beyond Good & Evil

2020 had shortages of new consoles. Nearly 2 years later that's still the case!! Poor form Sony and Microsoft! Very poor.

[@nathanbeardsley5936]

2019 should of been on here

[@KatyLawson]

I'm super excited for games releasing in 2021. It's the most excited I've been in years? I really don't get how it's on this list.

[@joshcharron6207]

Because it's been absolute trash for 6 months so far?

[@salimnetwork888]

2020 was decent release wise

[@mohammedriadh4990]

2021 is bad so far, not because of any bad game but because nothing released at all, besides far cry 6

Hi Pete's mum🖐️

[@joaquinnovoa2386]

E.t was really bad

[@UltimateGamerCC]

it was the last straw for many Atari families as they were sick of being screwed over with poor quality games, hence why Nintendo took a policy that a company could only release one game a year for the NES, it didnt stop bad games from coming to the platform, but it easily kept it to a minimum.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

@@UltimateGamerCC 1. You should tell Nintendo that Konami was releasing Castlevania III and TMNT in the exact same year! Holy shit, look at all this spam they're dumping on the NES! And my God, Tecmo and Capcom are doing it too! Acclaim and LJN...oh, the humanity... There was a 5 game limit. And it was easy for Nintendo's favorite companies to create a proxy company like Ultra Games, and get away with adding another 5 to their limit. 2. ET was far from a horrible game by the standards of the time. What it was, was a game that required you to read the instructions. Gamers insisted on playing it by just blindly falling into holes, completely unaware of ET's context sensitive powers.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

@@juststatedtheobvious9633 yes i know they created separate publishers to loophole it, but still it cut the shit down a whole lot compared to Atari that was flooded like hell, kept all but the big publishers under control.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

@@UltimateGamerCC Agreed, but even 10 games per year was keeping the big publishers under control. Check out LJN's Knight Rider and compare it to Ocean's on the Spectrum/C64. Or look at a game like Super Monkey Daiboken...there's nothing that awful on NES. Except for the unlicensed Action 52.

[@LunarWingCloud]

Coming here in 2022 and seeing 2021... Yeah I agree. It wasn't a very good year overall. Had some good games but not enough to drag it from the hole it dug for itself
