Only the best of the best. Even Ganker can't complain about it
I played through Galaxy 2 multiple times and I can't even remember a single level.
>Three motherfucking half life games
>casually ignores the 4 mario games
HL2 was ruined because the gays on Ganker leaked it causing the actual kino version to be completely scrapped and replaced with a tech demo
Ganker wasn't a board yet when the leak happened, Ganker came out after doom 3 but before hl2 retail
hl2 retail on Ganker was funny though because the pirates all had good load times while the counterstrike loving steamies had an additional 30+ seconds for each of those 4 minute levels
Goldeneye sucks, the controls are garbage and playing with modded controls makes it way too easy.
why is soulcalibur praised so much? i always see it in these best games of all time lists, but sc fans always say 2 or 3 are the best ones, and the fgc doesn't care much about it. what is it about sc1 that list makers love so much?
Play Soul Edge on the Playstation right now. Like go download it
Then go download SoulCalibur and play it on a Dreamcast emulator.
what's special about it that isn't in 2?
I just told you, you need to play Soul Edge and then experience SoulCalibur on the Dreamcast. It's not something that can be explained, you need to actually play them back to back and experience the leap for yourself.
so its the greatest game ever because it's a lot better than it's predecessor? by that logic street fighter 2 should be there too
>by that logic street fighter 2 should be there too
Honestly yeah it should be.
>what is it about sc1 that list makers love so much?
It was one of those games that was mindblowingly ahead of its time. Its impact has lessened due to everyone else catching up tech and design wise, basically classic example of a "had to be there" game.
>"Perfection! Pretty close anyway. That is the one word to describe this game. No other fighter has ever done what this game does. It definitely raises the par on fighting games. Graphics are beautiful, the character models excellent, the moves are truly magnificent. The number of fighting modes are unbelievable, there is enough replay value within them to keep you occupied for a long, long time. The number of fighters, each with there own design, personality and unique fighting style, gives you plenty of variety when choosing a fighter. This is the must have title thus far for the DreamCast and probably will be for quite some time. Buy this game, you will not be disappointed - 99/100"
>" If you have one of those, the game is on a completely different visual level than anything else out there. While it may seem bandwagon-esque to say this game is worthy of a perfect score, it really isn't much of a stretch to say it is. Yes, it is a fighting game, a genre with a fairly limited scope, but insofar as fighting games go, Soul Calibur is mind-numbing perfection. Namco has taken the best and made it considerably better. The level at which the company has done so is practically unprecedented. Think state of the art. Absolutely brilliant in all aspects, as far as games of this type go, Soul Calibur is the undisputed king of the hill. It is essential in any gamer's collection - 100/100."
>"Now that Soul Calibur has been released it will, in all likely-hood, become the template by which all 3D fighters are compared. From the drop-dead gorgeous graphics to the tremendous depth in gameplay, this is the most amazing fighting game ever released. - 100/100"
There here's 3 of the 71 reviews.
This motion capture was from 1999, all of the combat from SoulCalibur was rendered at this level of animation quality at 60 FPS.
Casuals who don't understand fighting games rating the game on graphics alone
v hates 11 of those game because they choose to be le contrain becauz
>Four Mario games
>It's all 3D shit
Fighting game player here, No, SoulCalibur 1 isn't regarded very highly within its own series, its notably more shallow and unbalanced compared to later titles and has many glitches, it was a step down from Souledge in many ways.
While people argue constantly about which SC game was the best literally no one will ever tell you its SC1, the only thing the game had going for it was above average graphics for its time.
Reviewers should always be taken with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to fighting games, these people are absolute casuals who do not understand how to play these games. to claim its "the best" is frankly insulting.
So is that why in 2005, IGN asked polled every user (nearly 1 million) on the website and the most popular games were these?
>IGN
lol, lamo even
>Make a retarded claim about how "nobody cares about this title and the sequel was more popular"
>Get instantly BTFO'd
Here's where SoulCalibur II was ranked btw, this was all user voting.
>IGN
LMAO, im sorry but you are a casual retard who knows nothing about fighting games.
Why are you seething so much? Nobody cared about the second game. You can have your FGC autism if you want, but that won't magically erase the legacy of the superior original one.
>FGC
You mean people who actually play fighting games
This is exactly the type of clueless casual im talking about
Ironic since SC2 is the casual game as most normalfags grew up with the GameCube and never owned a Sega console.
Beware the Number of the Beast.
>soul calibur
>gta IV
>goldeneye
embarrassing
>prime 1 instead of 2
cringe
>literally and completely unironically not a single good game
jesus christ, normalfags really do have terrible taste
SC2,3,4,5 and 6 all have active communities that still play the games
SC1 while having the best netplay (rollback on fightcade) gets virtually zero play, why? because the game is trash. no amount of seething or IGN reviews or polls is going to change that.
People would rather play a bootleg hack of SC3 Arcade Edition over a janky parsec server than play SC1 with rollback, let that sink in for a second, really sounds like the "best"
Most of the games in that pic still get regularly played. You have people playing them and discussing them on Ganker and other sites, streamers playing it on stream, etc.
The games that I don't see played much anymore:
SoulCalibur - People would rather play later games in the series
GoldenEye - Only see speedrunners play this. Nobody plays this "normally" or multiplayer. Game was ported to Switch to a lot of hype but nobody played it for long.
Perfect Dark - Similar situation as GoldenEye
There are a lot of threads with people trying to revise history lately. Are people that upset with the state of gaming today that they are trying to knock down the progress and achievements of the past? Is it zoomer copium? Or console war boomers still thinking they're at the front lines?
For example
These zoomers here don't realize that every kid in every household enjoyed split screened Golden Eye forever until everyone naturally moved on to the next products and consoles. Does the state of it today diminish what it was and did back then or just because it doesn't have the same features or doesn't give them the same enjoyment as a modern FPS does? It's so strange.
lolno golden eye was shit even for the time and was 100% nintodler cope, most people were playing stuff like Quake which shat all over golden eye in literally every possible way
I'm 32 years old, I split-screened GoldenEye myself. That doesn't change the fact that the only people playing it today are speedrunners.
>Does the state of it today diminish what it was
No, but my post had nothing to do with "what it was". My post was only about "what it is today", and today the only people playing GoldenEye are speedrunners. This has nothing to do with "muh state of gaming today", "muh history revisionism" because I'm literally comparing it to the other games on the list, many of which are just as old. Do people beside speedrunners still play Chrono Trigger today? Yes they do (JRPGfags and Retrofags tend to go hand in hand). Do people beside speedrunners still play OoT and Mario 64? Yes they do. Do people still play Team Fortress 2? Steamcharts say yes.
goldeneye is another big meme of this list, you must have too much nostalgia for it to think it's good, it controls like shit. it being on this list and no doom or quake is very strange. but then again, this is a nintendofag list, you can tell by how half of it is just mario games, and both mario galaxy and mario galaxy 1.5 are in there
By December 1999, the Dreamcast sold 1 million units, in that same timeframe Soulcalibur sold 1 million units and raised Sega’s shares by 24%. That’s how revolutionary it was. The only reason you gay zoomers look down on it now is because the DC got raped by the ps2. And they automatically despise any old products
See
, the same shit applies to SoulCalibur.
I don't get what has you so butthurt. I didn't insult the game. I didn't say the game wasn't good for its time. All I said was "People don't play it anymore today" which is true. You made up the rest in your head so you could get offended over things I didn't say.
Nothing about Soulcaibur was "revolutionary" it was a simplified SoulEdge with shiny graphics because it was on a new system.
The fact you keep trying to bring up sales instead of gameplay or mechanics on shows how much of a clueless casual you are and how little you know about fighting games.
and even if you are talking about sales only it got crushed by games like Street Fighter 2 and Tekken 3.
BTW SC2,4,5 and 6 all outsold SC1
You are seething.
>gets BTFO
>s-s-seething >:'(
I’m not the one crying about one of the most acclaimed games of all time anon.
None of these are even good let alone the best, pure cringe.
The only issue I take with it is the lack of Brood War and Age of Empires 2
>Brood War
Ah yes, Warcraft 2 for casual retards
Stay mad boomer, no one gave 2 shits about WC2 after 3 came out. Brood War perfected RTSes and you can seethe about that for the rest of your life.
>Brood War perfected RTSes
LMAO, you mean set the trend of dumbing down that ultimately killed the RTS genre, sure.
Soul Caliber sucks as do most fighting games
GTA4 is awful and the series is overall not good
Goldeneye sucks
