    Wouldn’t half life 2 be considered 7th generation? I mean, you couldn’t play it on ps2 or xbox.

  5. Schyler Bisson on August 8, 2020 at 8:55 pm

    Honestly really surprised that TImeSplitters 2 was not included, at least as an honorable mention.

  6. The silver playstation 2 on August 8, 2020 at 8:57 pm

    I’d say that Dreamcast qualifies as a 6th generation console. And that puts Shenmue pretty high on the list.

  10. Fawkk YuTuu on August 8, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    3rd , 4th , 5th , and 6th were the best generations of all time so far imo. 5th is my all time favorite hands down.

    I’m glad to see Metroid Prime this high on the list.

  13. YT Anonymity on August 8, 2020 at 9:07 pm

    It was the great time for western developer to developed a game for proper PC platform and less piracy anyway. Thats why PC exclusive game were a thing too. Game like Half Life 2, Deus Ex, Far Cry, No One Lives Forever 2 and Doom 3 are great proper PC game ever released and didn’t got much pirated compare to Crysis. While, 7th gen was the last generation to AAA Game been developed for PC proper system like Crysis and The Witcher 1 and we never see any game that built up and developed for PC platform anymore because they are too worry for their game will being pirated just like what happened on Crysis.

  16. Anthony Krause on August 8, 2020 at 9:08 pm

    They should have put in Twilight Princess, I don’t care what people say, It’s waaaaaayy better than world of Warcraft

  17. SaviorAssassin1996 on August 8, 2020 at 9:08 pm

    Half-Life 2 number one? To me it’s not the best. I prefer HL1.

    Why is Smash Bros Melee an honorable mention. It’s the best selling game on the Gamecube

  29. Ryan Niles on August 8, 2020 at 9:29 pm

    NOT EVEN AN HONORABLE MENTION FOR DOUBLE DASH?

  30. LJ LaVergne on August 8, 2020 at 9:30 pm

  34. khav11 on August 8, 2020 at 9:34 pm

    greatest GEN, every games today are influenced by most of those

  35. The Old School Video Game King on August 8, 2020 at 9:39 pm

    3. Shadow of the Colossus
    4. Silent Hill 2

    6. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

  39. M Scott Johnson on August 8, 2020 at 9:44 pm

    Um, Shenmue. Sorry. You snubbed the Saturn completely in your Gen 5 video and now you snub the Dreamcast. And while you could definitely make an argument that no Saturn game makes a Gen 5 top 10 list, you can’t make that argument about Shenmue for Gen 6.

    Shenmue is better than Metal Gear 3 and Shadow of the Colossus for sure. The others are fair to argue, but I’d put Shenmue at #8 at least!

  40. The hardcore pro wrestling fan on August 8, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    Prince of pesia sot should have been in top 5 not honourable mentions

  41. Zetan G0D on August 8, 2020 at 9:46 pm

    Violence the level of violence and lack of fun is what bombed in this generation gaming.

  42. poly cube on August 8, 2020 at 9:47 pm

    I’d say that the 16 bit era and the 6th gen were the golden ages of gaming.

  43. Antonio Jose Runez on August 8, 2020 at 9:47 pm

    No Game Boy Advance

  44. khav11 on August 8, 2020 at 9:48 pm

    great list overall,. i’d put diablo2 in there tho or counter strike

  45. sophia toillion on August 8, 2020 at 9:48 pm

    what about jak and daxter

  46. Zetan G0D on August 8, 2020 at 9:48 pm

    Yet snake eater looks like mgs2 where mgs2 graphics far surpass mgs3 snake eater. And was a better game in my honest opinion.

  47. warren byrne on August 8, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    3:39 Wuvs and cuddles.

  48. Immortal Zealot on August 8, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    So I just got done playing Resident Evil 4, Half Life 2, and I’m currently playing Wow Classic.
    6th gen so good.

  49. tio Suzaku on August 8, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    God of war 2 should be number 2

  50. Zetan G0D on August 8, 2020 at 9:50 pm

    Wow should not be on here!
