Love your videos <3 like my comment or I’ll commit sewer side
I dont know why but I absolutely LOVE the fact you mentioned black metal in your video. Would love to hear what some of your favorite bands are!
A nice look at the past, played several of them, I just so happened to replay San Andreas just now. It’s an awesome game in the true meaning of the word, I can’t dislike it even tho I don’t care about gangsta’ culture or some of the design directions that would become even stronger in the coming games. It’s such a huge game with so much fun stuff to do and the story was ultimately quite clever, something the GTA games from before was lacking. It might hold up pretty well too as I had little issue playing it despite how old it is now.
2 of my top 3 favorite games of all time come from the 2000s. Those being GTA San Andreas and The Simpsons Hit & Run. The other one would be Fallout New Vegas, but that game came out in 2010. Other games i loved from the 2000s would be:
Left for Dead 2
Road Trip Adventure
Fallout 3
Tony Hawk Underground 2
Saints Row 2
Total War Medieval 2
Sims 3
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 and 2
Need for Speed Most Wanted
The Simpsons Game
Scarface: The World Is Yours
The first Cars Video Game
Mercenaries Playground of Destruction
and many more that wasn’t named above.
For me it’s Sudeki (2004) – not the best of games but it was fun.
I’d add Persona 3/4 games and Dragon Quest 8 to the already mentioned Morrowind and Oblivion. Morrowind being the most impactful with all the open world scenery and interactions.
Also just remembered Icewind Dale 2, the customization in the game and all the dialogue was something else. To this day I still think the opening Targos chapter is the strongest out of most games I played.
I grew up playing the ps2 went the ps 3 and my fav games were BO 1,Tony hawk,pimp my ride,and need for speed.
SONIC ADVENTURE 2 !!!!!!!!
I know the franchise doesn’t have a good reputation anymore, but who cares, Sonic games are amazing.
Except 06 🙁
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Jak and Daxter trilogy, Ratchet and Clank, Red Dead Revolver, Manhunt, Red Faction, Manhunt 2, War of the monsters.

What are your thoughts on the new VVVtunia trailer?
Ah, the 2000s were such an odd time in gaming, two games that came out in 2006, for example, could feel like they were a whole universe away from each other.
That said, I do have quite a few favorites from this time, including:
Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal
The World Ends With You
Final Fantasy IX
Kingdom Hearts 2
Megaman Legends 2
Persona 4
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Ōkami
Tales of Symphonia, Legendia, Abyss and Vesperia
Super Mario Galaxy
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Pokémon Puzzle League
Disgaea 2
…and there are probably a dozen or so more that just aren’t popping into my head
You can use Widescreen Fixes for NFS games from Underground to Carbon same with GTA games from 3 to SA, just letting you know but you’re a great YouTuber
As a German I would like to ask, have you ever played Gothic 1 or 2?

This guy sound like the "Narrator" if you know what I’m saying
good video we have a lot in common ^^
my life was all around the pc in the 00s,
even when i got the ps2 i lost interest easily, because i was a little snob that even MGS3 sucked for me but that’s because i loved MGS1.
in 00s i never in my life played a single JRPG, never heard of one and never played one, and also regular RPG’s (for the most part) like the elder scrolls and fable. the closest i had was Diablo 2, and Diablo 1 on PS1, which also never had a single JRPG OR RPG.
my list included of:
Diablo 2
sims with every couple of months with almost all the DLC’s
C&C
Counter Strike
Max Payne 1 & 2
Civilization 3
also Commandos 2
Serious Sam TSE
COD 1 & 2 were both amazing
NFS U1 & NFSMW were the best.
Stronghold
Onimusha 1 and 3
Jedi Academy still the best star wars any thing.
All the Classic Silent Hills and Ace Combat serieses. that i missed.
Hitman 1 & 2
Ultima Online i think the only fantasy rpg that i got and i got the most of it.
all the GTA’s since 2 to SA were amazing
Mafia
postal 2 was a lot of sadistic fun
DMC3 & 4 were amazing
Rome Total War
SEA DOGS OR CORSAIR WAS THE FIRST 3D WORLD AND OCEANIC OPEN WORLD GAME IN THE YEAR 2000
Sacred 2
Severance Blade of Darkness came before Dark Souls.
RE4 was fun
Swat 4 ( Swat 3 is my fave)
Stubs the zombie is a game that no one played.
Dead rising was a game i craved for so long
crysis bioshock and cod 4 were one state of playing.
Stalker Team fortress 2 also.
Assassi ‘s creed 1 was great at the time
L4D Far cry 2 dead space… at that time games came and went, and ther sequels.
and Half Life 2.
But for me there is ONE game topples everyone and that is Jagged Alliance 2 for me it came not in 1999 but when the russian localization was finished in 2001 and since then nothing comes close to the raw experience and Turn Based Strategy aspect like this Best Flawed Masterpiece of all time!!!
I love Commandos (1998) but I could never get into the second game no matter how many times and how hard I tried.
My favorites are problably the Xenosaga Series
Halo 3 anyone?
This was a fun video. I enjoyed the classic star wars; battlefront games as well.
YSN, have you played the Gravity Rush games? They’re not from the 00s but I was just curious. They happen to be some of my favorite games of the previous decade but only so many people really talk about it.
My 2000s gaming experience mostly boils down to GBA and Wii cuz that’s all I had…
Anyway, some of my favourite games from the decade are (in no particular order):
Super Mario Galaxy and Sunshine, the Warioware games (namely Inc. and Smooth Moves), Iridion II, the Densetsu no Stafy GBA games, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch: Pichi Pichitto Live Start, Capcom Vs. SNK 2, Mother 3, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure, Mario Party Advance (no, seriously), Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth, the Summon Night Swordcraft Story games, the New Super Mario Bros. games, Zelda Minish Cap…
It’s worth noting that this list isn’t including remakes and re-releases
Really enjoy your videos, probably the most "comfy" youtuber.
diablo 2?
Fantastic, well though out and delivered content, really enjoying your channel as you cover pretty much all I like, Senran Kagura and the fan service as they say, thanks to yourself I watched the Neptunia anime and now playing the games
pop games , splinter cell games , nfs , ff 12 n chaos legion , devil may cry …ect
the only game that I liked is the open-world crash bandicoot game where you can explore through about 60 dimensions but it hasn’t gotten a remaster and I have forgotten the name of the game so I cant search it up on google because it comes up with every crash bandicoot game
:O 40 seconds ago? I was about to sleep and now I have to watch this.
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite deserved to be on this list.
As well as Motorstorm and Ridge Racer 7.
As ”NFS” series I prefer ”NFS Porsche”. Then, ”SimCity”, ”Traffic Giant”, ”Battlefield Vietnam”, ”Oblivion”, ”Black and White 1 and 2”, ”Diablo 2”, also ”Driver”, ”Tony Hawk Pro skater”, ”The Sims”, ”Indiana Jones” and many more games from that era.
