The EZA Community Top 25 Best of 2000!
-
I think Deus Ex is a fascinating game, but again, being on PC, I've never played it. Plus, I'm not too keen on the visuals, but that's more a product of the time than anything else. I loved what the game did for immersive sims and player choice for gaming, especially with a gripping story many thoroughly enjoy. Plus, I really loved learning more about it in both the EZA Retrospective and a snippet from an interview from a NoClip Session with Harvey Smith.

Since we can safely assume what the next two games are, what did you all vote for that didn't make the cut?
I had Threads of Fate. Didn't think it would get on, but it's a great game.
-
Crimson Skies
Hitman: Codename 47
Marvel v Capcom 2And one of the two presumed remaining titles.
-
I really don't care for FFIX for a lot of reasons, but I'm sure it's coming up soon...
@Crepe half of my list didn't make it in, whee. My number 3 went to Breath of Fire IV - criminal it isn't on this list. Capcom isn't really known for their RPGs but they really hit a stride in the PS1 era, with both Breath of Fire 3/4 being incredible RPGs on a system filled with incredible RPGs. For my honorable mentions, Pokemon Stadium, Escape from Monkey Island, and Legend of Mana didn't make the cut, the only mildly surprising omission from this list would be Pokemon Stadium.
-
@crepe Power Stone 2 deserved better than "did not place."
-
I feel safe in saying I had five games on my list, I'll discuss the honorable mention and my personal GOTY when they show, but the one game that has not appeared that I did NOT think would appear:
Crash Bash
I had it fourth (Again, 2000 wasn't a great year for me) and while the novelty of playing a party game with Crash characters is fun... It's not that good of a game in general.
-
I also had Crash Bash as an Honorable mention. I imagine it just missed out. Hopefully @Axel will post the games that didn't make the cut as a list once we've seen the final 2.
-
Grand Prix 3
WWF Smackdown! 2: Know Your Role
Baldur's Gate 2
Soldier of Fortune
-
The only game in my top 8 that didn't make the list is Capcom Vs SNK but that's not unexpected.
@brannox I was thinking about giving Crash Bash an HM.
In contrary to most of the games that are on my list, I actually played Crash Bash a lot in the year 2000.

Capcom Vs SNK
Over MvC2? You maniac!
Just a bit of trivia, Gametrailers/Screwattack rated Marvel vs Capcom the 2nd greatest fighting game of all time in 2007
-
@tokyoslim Ah, the reason they shut down has finally become apparent.
I like MvC 2, it almost made my list actually.

Well then, I hope their first was Capcom Vs SNK 2 otherwise they were WRONG!

@hazz3r He always does! ;-)

Crimson Skies
This one was a sleeper hit. So good.
I feel like if I played Grandia II, Shenmue (just bought it), or Code Veronica I would have voted for them. I also just realized that those were all Dreamcast exclusives. Hmm
-
Kirby 64 is underrated!
Otherwise everything I had got on. I have mainstream tastes, I guess.
