48:10 I truly believe that 2023 as as good a year for nintendo as 2017. Tears of the Kingdom came out (breath of wild but better) Mario Wonder which was an amazing 2D platformer and definitely one of the best out there, my favorite Pikmin 4, lots of remakes and even a new Warioware game. They cooked

Gears was really impressive back in the day. I know there were cover shooters b4 gears, but the animations, the way your character would snap from cover to cover, the grim atmosphere, the weapons, music and graphics.

I also like that you refer to yourself being a gaming Wikipedia (not sure if that was the exact word that you said in one of your vids), but I do as well. It's actually really hard to carry a good conversation with anyone I know in the real world that knows their stuff about games. You are a REAL gamer and a someone whose been part of videogame development! So, you've got my total respect given to you, Jonathan!

[@DanteMayCry-qv5kf]

I would say everything is pretty solid except 2018 for Celeste is crazy. Celeste is a good indie game but compared to God Of War and Red Dead Redemption 2? RDR2 is the greatest open world game of all time. One of the greatest games of all time easily. And that's from an objective point in its quality and depth. The game has so much quality and every mechanic is super in depth. The only issue it has is that the gameplay is a bit outdated but that's it.

DOOM 3 is not my GOTY for 2004, UNREAL TOURNAMENT 2004 is my GOTY for 2004. QUAKE 4 is not my GOTY for 2005, UNREAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2: THE LIANDRI CONFLICT is my GOTY for 2005.

[@styeiwehdeisfdo]

Half-Life should have beat Ocarina of Time IMO. There is always a console bias with these awards, though. Goldeneye winning is proof positive of this. Quake 2 sh!ts on Goldeneye snd has aged infinitely better.

[@BasedDoomSlayer]

Exactly. Both QUAKE 2 and TUROK came out 1997, the same year as Goldeneye 007, and they both blew the doors off Goldeneye 007, being technological marvels for the time, and vastly superior both technologically wise and gameplay wise. Plus, QUAKE 2 and TUROK have aged like wine compared to Goldeneye 007, and remain two of the best FPS games ever made. QUAKE 2 or TUROK deserves 1997 GOTY over Goldeneye 007. Furthermore, Unreal and Half-Life both came out in 1998, which were both technical marvels of the time, and to this day, two of the best FPS games of all time, and make Ocarina of Time look dated in comparison, and have aged like wine as well. Half-Life or Unreal should have won GOTY 1998. Good to see an honest person who has their gaming facts and history down. 👍🏻👏🏻💯🔥⚡️💪🏻

Oooh you want to get me heated about Overwatch? Ok then let’s do it 😈 I LOVED the original Overwatch. I mean seriously I had about 70 hours played on Reaper ALONE, and that’s just 1 of the 21 heroes that the original game launched with. A paid game with free content updates all the time and an amazing development team kept the game going strong for years. Then what do they do? They FUCK it ALL UP with Overwatch 2. Blizzard: appointed a new head of the overwatch team after Jeff Kaplan (the GOAT) quit. They changed direction from their original plan and started creating hype around a new PVE mode that would later turn into false promises. They then scrapped the PVE mode a YEAR before launch and launched OW2 anyways with the hype that it was still coming. And then months after the game came out Blizzard admitted that they knew the PVE mode wasn’t coming to the game for literally a whole year. So they basically pulled a bait and switch on the fanbase and I got really sick of the bullshit and lies. And on top of that in the process of everything they replaced the original game with 2 which is inferior in every single way to the original besides a slight graphical upgrade. There was ZERO reason to release Overwatch 2, the ONLY reason they did it was to change the business model from loot boxes to an overpriced cosmetic shop that every single other game uses. It was a money scheme ever since they knew PVE was canceled which is why it’s deleted from my console and I’m not playing it ever again unless they change their direction entirely and actually release a huge PVE mode and make the shop less egregious. Back in 2016 when it won GOTY I was really happy for it since I adored the original. But the 2nd game? It belongs in the trash…

Red Dead Redemption 2 really should have won in 2018. I thought the storyline and gameplay were way better than God of War. God of War 2018 felt like it was trying to be like The Last of Us and also has you fight the same troll like 10 times. Arthur Morgan and the realistic gameplay of Rdr2 was just something else, idk to me it's no contest what's the better game.

It’s funny how half your rankings put Balder’s Taint > Elden Ring and the other half out Elden Ring > Balder’s Taint

[@TotallyTubularJonathan]

Goldeneye 007 was a great game for 1997, but TUROK and QUAKE 2 also came out in 1997, which blew the doors off Goldeneye 007 back then, both gameplay wise and technical/technologically wise. Furthermore, TUROK and QUAKE 2 also aged much better, and were ahead of their time compared to Goldeneye 007, which was already behind the standards at the time of release. My evidence for QUAKE 2 being the rightful GOTY for 1997 is a little game called Unreal (1998), which was the most technically advanced game of 1998, and was literally created to be a QUAKE killer, not the Goldeneye 007 killer, because QUAKE 2 was the standard, while Goldeneye 007 was not the standard, and didn't deserve GOTY. When you have played QUAKE 2 or TUROK in 1997, then Goldeneye 007 isnt so amazing for 1997 anymore. So, I think QUAKE 2 or TUROK should have gotten the 1997 GOTY award. As for 1999, you had Unreal Tournament (1999) and QUAKE 3: ARENA, which were the standards of the time in every conceivable way. Both were cutting edge technologically and gameplay-wise, and the brand new dedicated arena shooter genre was born that year, which was fresh and at the highest point of popularity during that time. Both Unreal Tournament and QUAKE 3 ARENA are still amazing to play today and aged well. The Sims didn't deserve GOTY 1999 when you had those 2 monsters back in 1999.

Fallout 4 over Witcher 3 & Bloodborne??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️ Fallout 4 is 6/10 game, Witcher 3 & Bloodborne are 11/10. I can't take these awards seriously 😐😂

[@BasedDoomSlayer]

I personally would take Fallout 4 over both of those. Everyone has a preference. So, to each their own.

[@alexcrock7942]

idk fallout 3 sucks and fallout as whole is overrated

[@BasedDoomSlayer]

One man's trash is another man's treasure. While you may not like it, other people do. So, to each their own.

[@alexcrock7942]

@BasedDoomSlayer yes of course I, am talking about my time experience and comparing it with elder scrolls also that i have a different opinion In that one

[@BasedDoomSlayer]

@@alexcrock7942 Like I said, some people like Fallout, some people like Elder Scrolls, some people like both of them, and some people like one more than the other. While someone may love Elder Scrolls, other people may like Fallout more, and some even may not like Elder Scrolls at all. It all comes down to preferences at the end of the day. For example, some people think Halo is the best thing ever, while I think it's one of the most overrated series of all time. It's a great game, but people make it out to be more amazing than it actually is, in my opinion (When you have played every great FPS game since 1991, then Halo is not that amazing anymore). So, to each their own.

[@sarugard9115]

ocarina of time most overreated game of all time

[@A-Dubs398]

For 1998, Half-Life OG is my fav. Very underrated. I like it more than Half-Life 2, HOT TAKE!

[@KingOfDiamonds64]

Shut up

[@sarugard9115]

@@A-Dubs398 yeah that is a hot take lol

[@alexmichaelraccoonplays8777]

You spelled "the last of us" wrong.

[@tsmith4719]

I can respect that opinion. I was 11 in 1998 so nostalgia plays a role for a lot of us.
