Favorite 6th Generation Games

The sixth generation of games is when 3D graphics finally came to a fully complete form, DVDs became standard and fledgling online experiences began. With thanks to the Sega Dreamcast as its origins leading to Sony's Playstation 2, Microsoft's Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube. It is often credited as the last innocent gaming generation from the open-world sandbox boom in Grand Theft Auto III, to the epic scale of first-person view in Metroid Prime and refining controls to optimum levels in Resident Evil 4. This generation was famously known as setting online standards with Xbox Live on Halo 2 and for an abundance of critically acclaimed RPGs such as Final Fantasy X and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. So list some of your favorite games to come from the consoles that kicked off the millennium and share on social.

      Editing … @Papissama, will this apply to the "films by decade" lists at some point as well? I'd find those much easier to fill out with 50 entries than with games.

      Editing … Pro Skater 2X, it had "improved" graphics, physics, and controls. I say "improved" even though they weren't. Graphics were tightened but there was heavy motion blur, physics were tweaked and the whole thing felt weighed down, and the controls just plain sucked. At least you could create a female custom skater. There's a plus. I guess.

    My list was almost completely auto-generated from my All Time Favorites. Games were just so much more fun back then. So many great one-offs/series that are now dead, or games that did get next-gen sequels that simply weren't as good. I miss old Ubisoft, Capcom, Level-5... I miss 3D platformers and mid/high-budget JRPGs. This gen will probably remain my fav for the rest of my life, unless VR somehow manages to change everything and we actually get to jack in to virtual worlds with our nervous system hooked up to a machine.

    GTA Vice City and Resident Evil 4 behind Shin Megami Tensei, Super Smash Bros. Melee and Kingdom Hearts? You people are a strange lot. But hey, Silent Hill 2's in the Top 5 (so far), so that's good. And I'm sure one user here will be absolutely *delighted* by FFX's high ranking.

    The 6th generation of consoles was excellent, and there was always so much variety. I think the fact that most of these series are still continuing today is a testament to that :P And there are still so many great looking games from that gen that I want to play! :)

    I can't pick Street Fighter III (or 3rd Strike for that matter). I knew this stupid merging was a shitty idea.

    Lol, Final Fantasy V counts. Sure, why not. I also love that Metal Gear Solid 3 is tied with Metriod Fusion and Klonoa 2, the latter of which I barely know about. Bet that won't last.

    Most importantly though, GO PERSONA!

    What is the criteria for this list? Why can I add The Sims but not Shogun: Total War? Should be able to add Planescape: Torment too since it came out after the Dreamcast.

      Editing … There is probably no way to properly implement it, unless there's a way to do only PC games from 1999-2004. Plus since the generations are a console concept to begin with I don't think it's such a big deal.
