Rules: just pick 1 and explain why.

I’ve been playing since the NES and despite being from a low income family I had the luck of being able to play and own many consoles over the 3 decades of my life, plus some pc.

If you ask me right now? Resident Evil 4 (2005).

A before and after in gaming, to this day still extremely fun to play even for casuals but 20 years ago it was THE masterpiece. And everyone took notice of it, everyone played it, even players that didn’t cared about resident evil. The gameplay was so good that it got photocopied by everyone right after in the action genre.

Arguably the last big innovator in videogames minus Minecraft and… PUBG (Fortnite did it better I know).

Try to NOT pick your favourite game, that’s a different thing.

      I know we all put in an absurd amount of time in the facility but perfect dark is objectively better

        Disagree, as someone who loved both. It was a fun advancement, but that doesn’t replace the peak gameplay of Goldeneye.

        Perfect Dark was peak multiplayer experience on the N64, but trying to go back and play now is terrible…

        Split screen games run at like 15 frames a second and I wonder how I put so many hours into it.

        Goldeneye suffered from trying to exceed the N64. It’s an upgrade overall but the performance really struggles, Goldeneye didn’t really see that (prox mines excepted)
