However for JRPG fans like myself the PSX and Squaresoft era was godly but not the best :P
It's one of the best eras. Squaresoft was amazing back then.mo0ksiThey were on fire. One hit after another. NOTICE THE AMOUNT OF DISK NEEDED TO PLAY THESE GAMES :o

PS1 and N64 is the best ever.

It's a fact that the console had sold alot more than the competition and had a good / decent libary and SOMETIMES made amazing games I.E MGS 2 and ICO.
But clearly the Xbox / Gamecube defined the generation and set the standard future generations I.E Halo / Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden / Ninja Gaiden Black, Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil 4, Forza, Super Smash Bros Melee, Zelda: Wind Waker, Stars Wars Knights of the old Republic upon many others.
PS2 was clear winner in console sales, that can't be debated.
Clear winner in making quality games?
No, not at all.

The PS2 was one of the best consoles ever made because it had decent backwards compatibility.No, the PS2 had lots more better games IMO.

The PS2 was one of the best consoles ever made because it had decent backwards compatibility. I really don't wanna do this dance... Devil May Cry will never EVER touch the critical acclaim success of Ninja Gaiden / Ninja Gaiden Black. Ninja Gaiden was the quintessential action adventure game of last gen and was quite possible THE BEST GAME EVER MADE of last gen, forget DMC and GoW Timesplitters doesn't hold a candle to how Halo affected the industry. The Silent Hill Series was also released on Xbox and had much MUCH better lighting than the PS2 counterpart GTA was released on Xbox which had better graphics and actual gave people the ability to make their own radio station which was almost revolutionary at the time believe it or not. :| I'm talking about setting THE GOLD STANDARD for the industry, not just decent games which the PS2 was swimming in.No, the PS2 had lots more better games IMO.

Actually the correct answer is the SNES/Genesis eraomarguy01
Wrong. Ball in a cup Vs Plate on a stick era was the best.
[QUOTE="tOtalPWNaAe"][QUOTE="Rahnyc4"]too bad for the ps3, huh? Synthetic_NinJIwhy????? its going to have all the sequels;) The 360 also gets "all those sequels" :lol: only DMC and TS were multiplats this gen and they aren't that great>_>

[QUOTE="nVidiaGaMer"][QUOTE="heretrix"]16 bit Genesis vs SNES >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AllRahnyc4
PS1 and N64 is the best ever.
no it wasnt. the snes and genesis era was the best era in gaming. ps1 and n64 era was second. then again the nes era was great too.Even though this is more of an opinion why which one is better when you look at the number of hit games and new games that are still around today they came out during the PS1 and N64 era.
[QUOTE="Guybrush_3"]1995-2000 was the best peroid for games ever. PC/N64/PS/Sat= EPIC win.glez13
I agree.
False. The entire 90's were awesome.No, the PS2 had lots more better games IMO.

QFTx9000No, not at all.
Yes, definitely.
Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, Tactics
Resident Evil 1, 2, 3
Silent Hill
Xenogears
Parasite Eve, 2
Valkyrie Profile
Dino Crisis
Chrono Cross
And thats not even counting the Saturn, Dreamcast, and N64 titles.
:roll:Devil May Cry was released 3 year prior to Ninja Gaiden (the Xbox version, not the NES...duh:P) and whether you'll admit to it or not was a major influence on it. Not that I care for numbers, but DMC got 95% on Metacritics and NG got 91%. Whether you think it was the best game last gen is your opinion. TimeSplitters was far greater than Halo, in my opinion. The style, the controls, the humour, it had them all down to a T. TimeSplitters 2 has always been my favourite console shooter. Halo, I felt, did nothing new except for maybe that regenerating health, but in all honesty I hate that. Silent Hill 2 may have been ported to the Xbox, but Silent Hill 3 didn't. As far as the "gold standard" for the industry, I can't say I see a lot of that from any singular console. Those are down to the developers themselves, not the consoles. I can't declare that the PC is the unarguable king of all systems simply because Monkey Island 2 is on it.
Devil may Cry was released proir to any console / competition and was the first of the "Over-The-Top" action-adventure title of the generation.
Devil May Cry 2 scored a 68 and was considered one of the "Worst Sequels Ever Made" and won "The Most Dissappointing Game of 2003" right here on spot.
Devil May 3 was released two years later and scored 84, which is a flop considering the former first title, and later released a Special Edition which scored a 87 Good Job DMC3, two tries and still couldn't hit the mark.
Ninja Gaiden was released a YEAR BEFORE DMC3 and won "Best Action Adventure Game" and "Game of the Year" among various Websites, Magizines, Critiics ETC including Gamespot which says "one of the best most challenging action adventure games ever made" and IGNs "sets a new standard for third-person action games in terms of length, depth, speed, and gore" and enter Gamespots "Hall Of Fame"
You intentionnaly ignored Ninja Gaiden Black which scored 94 on Metacritics which is 10 points better than the latest DMC 3 and 1 point off from the original DMC.
Also, I'll take Team Ninja at their word when if they ever admit that DMC inspired Ninja Gaiden.
So I refute "GOLD STANDARD SET" Silent Hill 2 was better than all of the Silent Hills and says right here on gamespot BEST ON XBOX.
I can care less about Timesplitters, you not understanding what a "STANDARD" means.

If I recall correctly, I stated that the original Devil May Cry was a good game. I never mentioned the other two.

I ignored Gaiden Black as...well it's a remake. Either way, DMC still scored that oh-so-important one percentage on Metacritics.

Okay, so now we're reduced to personal attacks. A little premature but, oh well, time is money. This "Gold Standard" you've been parading is a very loose disguise for "in my opinion, this is a good game". Throwing numbers and titles at me is about as effective in swaying my opinion as shouting in leet, I stopped reading reviews and GOTY titles round about the time Final Fantasy X won RPG of the Year. I base how good a game is off my own opinions regardless of what others have said (for example Tokobot Plus) and I rarely see any game being touted as this "Gold Standard".
Oh, and it's "couldn't care less". If you "can" care less, that means you do care, even a little.
too bad for the ps3, huh? Rahnyc4If you mean backwards compatibility, I managed to get a preowned 60GB PS3, so I'm fine. If you mean games on my shelf, I actually think I've managed to acquire more games than when I had my 360, without resorting to just replacing them all with the PS3 version. :P
You didn't have to :| DMC 3 is better than DMC 1 in the regard that it has new features, new techiques, new weapons, better graphics, better enemy A.I, more depth in combat thus it pushes the "STANDARD" As time passes and news games come along new standards are set. Ninja Gaiden is better across the board it beat and made standards that were already set.If I recall correctly, I stated that the original Devil May Cry was a good game. I never mentioned the other two.
You also ignored the meaning and concept of a "STANDARD" . :| You can compare Crysis to Doom and say Doom for SNES is better, that doesn't since their is a concept called "STANDARD".I ignored Gaiden Black as...well it's a remake. Either way, DMC still scored that oh-so-important one percentage on Metacritics.
I didn't one personal attack in the post I made.Okay, so now we're reduced to personal attacks.
No, I'm not insulting your intelligence but you don't understand what a standard is.This "Gold Standard" you've been parading is a very loose disguise for "in my opinion, this is a good game".
I gave you clear examples."I rarely see any game being touted as this "Gold Standard"
Yes, I care to make my point.Oh, and it's "couldn't care less". If you "can" care less, that means you do care, even a little.

Then you clearly lost the argument. Stroke your ego all you want, but this is a futile discussion. Your definition of "Standard" is far different from mine. Delving into that discussion would be deemed as "off topic" so I won't even touch it. But yeah, go ahead and think your opinion trumps mine. ;)[QUOTE="Synthetic_NinJI"][QUOTE="AirGuitarist87"]Then you clearly lost the argument.
