  • On this episode of The MinnMax show podcast, we welcome Game Informer and Giant Bomb alumn Dan Ryckert back to the world of video game podcasts as we choose our favorite game for each year of the last decade. 2000-2009 is an incredible stretch in the game industry, with technology going from Perfect Dark to Uncharted 2. We also debate the #1 greatest game of the decade, talking about the merits of Super Mario Galaxy and a couple of Metal Gear Solid games. Then we open up the Minnbox and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and leaving a question! / minnmax

    My top 10, not done by each year:
    1. Half-Life 2 (sad that no one fought for this!)
    2. Metroid Prime
    3. Resident Evil 4
    4. Metal Gear Solid 2
    5. Wind Waker
    6. Super Mario Galaxy
    7. Braid
    8. Viewtiful Joe
    9. BioShock
    10. Twilight Princess
    All 10 of these would likely make a top 30 all-time list for me. This discussion has also inspired me to go back and play MGS 3 on Game Pass. I played through half of that game before I moved and never finished it. Time to right that wrong.

    Hey JeffM, I'm a Morrowind man myself, and just in case you have a Xbox One X setup, its an enhanced title. The Xbox one X enhanced versions of original Xbox games look incredible, its no gimmick. There's only so much that can be done for Morrowind, but its the ultimate console version (Faster loading, better gfx etc).

    It's fascinating to me that not a single one of the MinnMax crew knew about the Bon Appetit youtube channel, given how it (to me) seems like it's been one of the biggest things on the internet for the last year or so. I guess it's a pretty bracing example of how atomised the landscape has become, that four people whose job it is to observe the culture have no clue about this phenomenon. Not a slight on the MinnMax lads, it's just really interesting. The episode overall was dingdang amazing; I had an absolute blast watching y'all hang out with Dan. One of my favourite eps so far!

    Its good to hear Dan talk about games without people having a go at him all the time like on giant bomb, The giantbeast cast was good but I feel like all the other hosts apart from Dan were super jaded about games and would always make fun of Dan for nerding out about games...on a games podcast. So this is refreshing.

    Is Dan Confusing MK Deadly Alliance with Soul Calibur 2? Because every reference he made was Soul Calibur I.e. Yoshimitsu’s pogo stick stance and Voldo’s crab walk stance. Also Hanson you were right, Reptile had the Crab stance is DA and it completely cleaned up shop once you figured out some combos.

      I really hope they bring the trilogy to Switch. Metroid Prime is so consistently good every time I go back to it. That game nailed the concept of atmosphere and is one of, if not the most, successful transitions from 2D to 3D for a franchise. It's a shame Prime was followed up by Other M, a game so bad it literally sent me into a depressive episode while playing it.

I was working at Gamestop then and was over the moon the whole month.

Then Terminator Resistance came out on PC everywhere and console europe in 2019 but i got it when it relased on console in usa in 2020.

    Bully is really an amazing game. Would love to see it remastered.

Glad she never saw Mortal Kombat, which I played almost exclusively in arcades haha.

  • @Yrevnoc
    @Yrevnoc 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been thinking about this for a few hours now and I want to change my statement a bit. Judging Game of the Decade from the perspective of looking at gaming in 2000, and gaming again in 2009 asking how has gaming changed? I think the contenders should be Halo 3 for my previous reasons of it being the game that brought online play to the masses, it playing incredibly well and this may not be the most important point but it was the biggest entertainment launch of all time in 2007. And the other contender should be Wii Sports, for being the start of the revolution of games designed for people who aren't gamers.

  • @Yrevnoc
    @Yrevnoc 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it's telling that Ben, Kyle, Dan and Suriel debate for 10 minutes giving game of the decade to MGS 2 or MGS 3, and no one at any point mentions gameplay, only talking about story and story twists. For me gameplay and the game being fun trumps all other factors, and therefore I would give Resident Evil 4 the game of the decade. With Mario Galaxy or one of the Halos being runner up. Personally I would lean towards Halo 3 over the other two because that was my first introduction to online games and I think that was the case for a lot of people. Xbox live did exist for the original xbox but not until it's tail end, and PC gaming obviously had online play for many years but those had vey niche followings. The Xbox 360 brought online games to the masses, at a time where home internet was commonplace enough and fast enough to actually support it.

    I have to go with Code Veronica over Majora's Mask for 2000, both very different from what was right before them. Hope there is a RE:CV remake like Resident Evil 2 and 3 the last couple of years. No one even talks about RE 3 remake anymore and it should have never been a $60 product.

    • @0FFICERPROBLEM
      @0FFICERPROBLEM 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @leontartovsky8949
      @leontartovsky8949 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      sincerly, Eric don’t disagree that Dark Souls is the one everybody compares to and is also my favorite of the Soulsborne games, but you can not deny that many of the core concepts from its challenging gameplay, level design, combat and asynchronous MP still came from Demon’s. The only exception would be the Dark’s interconnected world which no other game has yet to mimic. I’d say the only reason why people always compare things to Dark is because Demon’s was not widely played back then and Dark was most people’s first experience with the Soulsborne games.
      Without Demon’s there would be no Dark.

  • @0FFICERPROBLEM
    @0FFICERPROBLEM 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Now this is a good decade. Probably the one I played the most games in, though there's still a lot of early stuff to go back to. As you'll see I've never touched a MGS game.
    My personal list:
    0: (Haven't had any games from this year, so I'll say SSX / THPS2 at friends houses)
    1: Pokemon Silver (EU)
    2: Sunshine
    3: Double Dash, or Windwaker (I CAN not decide)
    4: Half Life 2 (HM: 007: Everything or Nothing)
    5: NFS: Most Wanted (HM: CoD 2)
    6: Twilight Princess (HM: Oblivion)
    7: Halo 3
    8: GTA IV (HM: Fable II)
    Now 2009 is probably the best video game year for me with AC2, Borderlands, DA:O, Liberty City Episodes, The Saboteur. and shout out to Brütal Legend and MW2 at friends houses. I've yet to play Arkham or Demon's Souls.
    But it'll have to be Borderlands in the end!
    Some good early Harry Potter games in this decade too :'D
    Great episode, thanks MinnMax

    I went back to FFXV after finishing FFVIIR and I think I enjoy FFXV more. I liked the world of XV more. The character banter is pretty good, VIIR made improvements on it. It just makes me sad that development was cut short and the much welcomed and needed character DLC was cancelled.

    @Suriel’s GALOT: if you look at literally any tweet that Ed Boon Or the MK account posted one the past year, the replies are an incessant spam of people demanding Mileena like entitled babies. It was probably driving them insane. I’m sure this was a way to get back at those annoying fans who are never satisfied with any new additions Bc the character they like isn’t in it.

    I'd never heard of a golden birthday until a few years ago. From hearing about it from other folks, I've come to the conclusion that golden birthdays are a rich kid thing. (Or at least a solidly middle-class family thing.) That would explain why knowledge of it defies regional definitions.

      Game journos do it all the time. Some places (like game informer) do articles and videos titles "What we want from [Insert unannounced game sequel here]." I too, hate it when people who write about games and do videos about games try and tell developers what to do as if implementing their feedback is a small switch to be turned on and not the time and work of dozens of people. It paints a picture like they don't know how games are produced when in fact they should be the most knowledgeable outside of actual developers. I wish the folks at MinnMax would take their own advice on this.
