The worst in the trilogy

3 huge technical advancements in 1 year, crazy.

Ah the classic 2004 gaming meme
Was it the best year in video gaming history? No, probably not. Too many subjective factors. Was it the most packed year for AAA-titles that werent just shameless cast grabs? Yepp!
The glorious times of big gaming studios that wanted to make good games are over and nothing will bring them back. Resort to Indy gaming fellas.
StaticSystemShock
1999 was the best year hands down for me. Half-Life, System Shock 2, Unreal Tournament 99, Quake 3 Arena, Need for Speed High Stakes, Age of Empires 2, The Longest Journey…
WildComedianCock
Yes
Specimen_E-351
Nothing will ever compare to the early days of vanilla wow.

Far cry should have been on the list. A phenomenal year for gaming and the years it can only be matched by 2007 and 2015.
lhombrecalcetin
That image doesn’t even list the GameCube games from that year: Metroid Prime 2, The Thousand Year Door, Twin Snakes, Viewtiful Joe 2, Pikmin 2…

2004 is waaaaay up there, and the only year I can think of that might top it is 2011. Seriously, 2011 had so many incredible games for so many genres that it was bonkers. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_in_video_games](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_in_video_games)

The pic doesn’t even have Metroid Prime 2

In my opinion, in order the five best years for gaming were 2007, 1998, 2008, 2004, 2023. But really once you get to that point, it’s close enough that it’s just going to be a matter of personal opinion. Any of those could easily be reasonably argued to be the best year for gaming ever.
ReconArek
Have you heard about 2013…
Vitchman
That’s a helluva lineup. I remember getting to segue from GTA to Halo 2 to KOTOR 2 at the end of my school year. Had to put NFSU2 and Half Life 2 on the back burner for the next year. What a time to be alive

2008 and 2018 for me

I think this woulda also been the year of madden 05, the year they added hit stick. Yes, sports games used to be fun.

i always considered 2007 to be peak based off another one of these memes with the same format

2000-2010 were legendary game years.

Good year but not the best.
Ninja gaiden was so fun. Loved Pikmin 2

MHG_Brixby
It was really good, but 98 was overly stacked with banger after banger
ronnoco_ymmot94
2007, 2023, 2004 in that order
AdhesivenessSlight42
I mean you left out all the amazing GameCube releases that came out that year so…
GrandNibbles
didn’t a bunch of these games….not come out that year?
GothicRuler
No, 2024 is the best year in gaming, because you can play all the other games
Tickomatick
In my case the most helluva was just that one game in the lower right corner
ICPosse8
2007 was also great and so was 2023 more recently

1998 is better for me.

There’s alot of talk of nostalgia nowadays, but no one can deny that ’04 wasn’t one of the best years in gaming history.
Justintime4u2bu1
1996 was imo
AgentAled
Crazy that WoW released during this PS2 and Xbox era and is still going today.
Salt_Experience3142
Halo 2, NFS underground 2, battlefront, and vanilla wow all took turns* as age-defining games for me. Spent a lot of time with friends playing each of these 4.
