I'm going off of initial release dates, not necessarily western ones. This is also a mix of my own personal taste along with what I would expect to win given popularity (I.e. Chrono trigger is not my personal favorite 1995 game, but it certainly is one of the most popular from them at year).

>runner-up: Street Fighter 2

I actually appreciated the Jaguar for a few of its games at the time (my babysitter's boyfriend had one). Tempest was awesome and it had one of the best ports of Raiden at the time. I also played DOOM for the first time on Jaguar and besides the missing music the port is solid.

Bearing a grudge against an entire console is really dumb, you're forcing yourself to miss out on lots of great games. Especially in this day an age with emulation being so easy to accomplish and (most) retro consoles having flashcarts available.

As much as you personally don't like the N64, it still has a good chunk of popular games that remain as some of the best of the 5th gen, your argument is invalid.

Anyway, to reply to >>3261981, the N64 was actually the most advanced consumer-grade gaming system when it came out in 1996, only surpassed by the first 3dfx video card, released months later.

The only game of 1996 that came close to the level of graphics of N64 was Quake. Ironically, Quake came out 1 day after the official N64 launch in Japan.

So if tomorrow people started eating shit you would objectively think shit is good just because of that?

You believe Call of Duty or Candy Crush are good?

I get your point I fucking hate hipsters, but the total opposite its just as fucking pathetic.

If the list was about sales then the thread would be irrelevant, just google the most sold of every year and tadaa!

This is supposed to be about our personal GOTYs, its personal taste, I don't care how objectively good OTT is, I don't fucking like it, I would choose one of Unreal, Resident Evil 2 and yes, Grim Fandango, Zelda can suck my dick, it doesn't make me a contrarian.

Half-Life is the Crash-Bandicoot of its time. It may be a good game, but the number of rabid fanboys constantly raving about it is so annoying, people would rather forget that stain on the history of gaming exists

>> No.3271158

>>3271127
Much of this focus on Crash Bandicoot lately is largely retrospective. It's literally sourced from people's childhoods (particularly those born around ~1995).

The Crash series never got particularly remarkable game reviews back then. Solid but not amazing. People were barely talking up the game series in a positive light. I wasn't even aware there were actual Crash Bandicoot fans until like 5 years ago.

To put it simply, none of the Crash Bandicoot games would have ever even passed people's minds as a GOTY contender.

Half-Life on the other hand, was immediately recognized as something a bit more than just another shooter. And it actually did win GOTY awards back then. Yes, the fans are really annoying, and they are a subset of Valvedrones who are a subset of PC mustard race. But Half-Life is actually notable unlike the Crash series.

I lived through that time, as active gamer, but this never happened to me. Half Life was a game, an ok one. I played it three time so far. Three times unfinished, because I always get bored halfway through. I tried to give the game a chance, but it's just not working out. I am very unlikely to ever pick up HL2. The series does absolutely nothing to me, and I have a really hard time to see the appeal even as an outsider, which makes all the raving even more puzzling to me.

SM64 completely outclasses Tomb Raider in every fucking department.
The game still stands up perfectly today (some people have problems with the camera but I don't really see any major problem here seeing as you can move it around as you please).

Tomb Raider plays, looks and sounds like shit.

SM64 set the standard by which all 3d platformers are measured against.

Nyet to all. THIS is the true GOTY 2015.

As for the 90's it would go something like this for me:
1990: OutZone
1991: Metal Black
1992: Pocky & Rocky
1993: Raiden II
1994: Darius Gaiden
1995: Mystic Ark

1997: Final Fantasy VII

Super Mario World came out that year.

And more importantly Street Fighter II did, which was unbelievably popular to the point that it being initially exclusive to SNES (once it finally got ported) is probably what singlehandedly made SNES win that generation.

Not him, but I never had problems like this playing Mario 64, largely because most areas are large and open. The camera generally loses its versatility in closed spaces like the igloo or the volcano, but never to the point of unplayability. Mario 64's camera at its worst is still much better than Tomb Raider's at its best

No, SF2 just prevented SNES from flopping in the West. The real reason SNES won was the Japan market stranglehold, partially reinforced by SF2 but probably would have appended anyway

My personal list:

1991: Street Fighter 2 or Civilization
1992: Ultima Underworld or Wolfenstein 3D
1993: Myst or Doom
1994: Super Metroid, Doom 2, or DKC
1995: Warcraft 2, Descent, or Worms
1996: C&C Red Alert, Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, or Tomb Raider
1997: Fallout, FF7, Age of Empires, or GoldenEye 007
1998: Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid, Pokemon, or Starcraft
1999: Unreal Tournament or System Shock 2

It all depends on if the GOTY was being given for popularity or quality, plus which genre the judges enjoy more. Keep in mind that Doom was wildly popular, but it was still out-sold by Myst.
