Evan_B:
I have been craving some discussion of the sixth generation of video games as of late. I know I could put this topic in the console forum but I figured I'd open up the discussion to a wider audience.


To me, the sixth generation was a time when developers were finally getting the hang of 3D graphics, which was also bolstered by the addition of a second camera stick. We experimented with online, received more polished and better looking products, and skateboarding games were still cool.


If you would like to share, please discuss some of your favorite sixth generation games here. There's a massive catalog and I think many people had the chance to play some underrated or unknown titles, as well as some classics that changed the way they thought about gaming.


If nobody steps up to the plate, I'll go first.

I'm not going to lie, I had to use Google to remember which generation that was. I've never been a fan of that dumb naming system. But now that I know which it is, I'm going to have to say Pikmin, particularly the second one. It's just a great fusion of different ideas, something that'd never been seen before, and beyond just loving the game itself, I love when Nintendo comes out swinging like that.
TOPHATANT123:
I love the 3d Rayman games, from what I remember it was a big silly adventure which had a sense of place that which a 2d game could never achieve. It's a shame 3d platformers have fallen by the way side since then.

3D platformers, wayside, I guess you don't own a Wii U as that is just about all it has for games. ;)


If we are talking about Dreamcast to Xbox era I would say there is just too much to talk about, that "generation" and the SNES to PS1 era were the two most interesting, and most talked about, periods in gaming as far as I am aware. Game Cube is one of my all time favorite gaming consoles and I still keep my Slim PS2 close by so I think for me that period was one of the better periods in gaming.

Triforce Hermit:
It was before gaming became mainstream. Those were the days.


It brought Final Fantasy 12 into existence and that is probably my most played game out of that generation. Close to a thousand hours, if not more, invested in it and I still go back every once in a while a sink in a 100-200 hour playthrough.
