Yes, best stuff on PC also came from that era.

Yes, video games have been steadily declining in quality since 2007 in my opinion.

Why did everything go wrong after 2007?

I too agree with this.
2007 was the year the gaming reached it's peak and it has been in a slow but steady decline ever since,imo

Depends. JRPGs were past their prime, for example.

>1997 to 2009 more or less
Retro games are still fuck cheap even the rare/good ones. Rentals are still on their golden age so you can play all the games you like. If you know how to mod and knows someone who has a CD/DVD burner, you can get all the games you want.

Might as well agree to you agreeing

You could see it coming in 95-96, though It really didn't kick off till 98.
Crashed hard after 2006.

Yes, most of the best titles per genre can be found on the PS2, arguably the snes era was the golden era with the huge rise of good games for that console plus pc gaming titles

I dunno what year it started to go to shit but PS2 was certainly the end of the peak.

2000s only had one thing going on, and that is MMOs. Every other genre was worse than the predecessor.

with modded ps2 i think you can just play the games from hdd.

Gaming died when the wii launched and casual scum started influencing the market. Nobody seems to remember that meeting your customer's "needs" does not mean making a good product.

>nostalgia drones

Gaming died when the msx launched and story based game scum started influencing the market. Nobody seems to remember that meeting your customer's "needs" does not mean making a good product.

>hating on the msx

Gaming died when the Playstation launched and cinematic scum started influencing the market. Nobody seems to remember that meeting your customer's "needs" does not mean making a good product.

It feels like after that year game companies decided they wanted to "reach a wider audience", and invested so much money on the safest titles in an attempt to reach for the Halo/CoD audience.

Also because at that point having your game be like a movie was viewed as a cool thing.

Gaming died when the pong launched and home console scum started influencing the arcade-only market. Nobody seems to remember that meeting your customer's "needs" does not mean making a good product.

Yes. Now that the gaming boom is over due to normie gaming (facebook and phone games).

Only thing that game should have these days to be considered goat is good graphics. Thats all

>not hating on anything and everthing that doesn't personally cater to you
>Sup Forums
fuck the msx and it's brilliant classics

I like all things unironically. Except tripe. It's so chewy and flavorless, and the texture makes me gag.

>liking food
>not unironically living on osmosis alone

this. the ps1 & ps2 are the two most highest selling consoles of all time and yet people like to point fingers at the wii because they are retarded nostaligafags.

I enjoy cooking and providing for my friends, so liking food is only natural.

the early 2000's were the golden age of everything
especially internet culture

Oldfags are the worst

newfags are the worst

Shut your whore mouth and show me the boipucci.

golden age = 1985 to 1999

Music
Entertainment
Videogames

It was a new era of expression where no one gave a fuck so you did what you wanted to

2001-everything got censored and belittled-
2004- everything hard became soft
everything hard became easy

and old fag would call you gay for using the term boipucci

this "golden age" term has been thrown about so many times it has lost any meaning

Just go off in the mountains already lmao

>gay
How can it be gay if you're pretending they're a woman.

I hate it when drones call it the wild west to make it seem like it was some le epic shit. I do miss the small tight knit communities though.
Also, you can still laugh at those animations on /f

golden age = 1965 to 1979

Music
Entertainment
Films

It was a new era of expression where no one gave a fuck so you did what you wanted to

1981-everything got censored and belittled-
1994- everything hard became soft
everything hard became easy

anything from the 1990s era when it came to that would make a joke about it and call that person a faggot that is it.

i WOULD call that person a girl
fag
queer
homo

Fuck. All that sounds good.
I enjoy cooking and preparing food when I actually do it, but fuck is it hard to actually motivate myself to get all the ingredients and actually go through with making it. It's so hard to plan out meals.

Just take off your diapers already lmao

t. 12 year old

fuck why am I even using the t. meme, it's some shitty as neo Sup Forums meme

>1994- everything hard became soft

>Literally uniting with the world against a common enemy
Like immediately after 911 but better

1965 people created gen-xers

which are 1990ers

those are the parents of those fuckers

gen x
was a mixture of 60s 70s subculture mixed with faster heavy metal
rebellious music because their parents failed at rebelling they had to do it 10x crazier.
Everything taboo
Everything underground
Truth telling
darker generation
nothing was censored

oh
you dont know about this
this is the plan

this modern era is like the 1980s mixed with the 1940s

1920s was like the 1990s

Apparently not according to neo nazis

You realize I'm just pulling yalls legs, right? The point is that things change and if you don't like it any more, then it's you who are not adopting and not the medium that's being ruined.

It is being ruined.

Easier=Less fun in games


I will never change

>gen x
>a product of consumerism
>understanding what censorship is

but you have to agree that internet feels stale today compared to the early 2000's.
when everyone had their own Geocities page and everything was far more primitive

Easier means more accessibility in games. It means more technology, more tool, more innovation. Historically groundbreaking games were not remembered for difficulty.

1950s
1980s
and some of the 1970s
2010s
these are all consumerist eras

1990s with the grunge era was anti-consumerist
which turned into the only way for a band to stay alive was to make shitty sold out pop songs which new bands soon replaced those 1990s bands.

then emo replaced grunge and that era and I do not know what the fuck happened after that but every dude looks like a 1980s dyke

There are more users and more websites than ever, but most people visit only a dozen of the top sites. That funneling has only gotten worse as the years have gone by. It's quite sad. For most normies, PCs and the internet are just Amazon/Facebook machines.

...

You sound like a skater punk trying to sound smart, but consume the very thing you condemn

no
you have more accessibility if you actually try in a game

if there is more innovation why is every game like call of duty that is a FPS
with no recoil.

the modern era in AAA form reminds me of the atari era with corporations in bed with companies

Instead of games being made for corporations its corporations giving sweet deals to oyu when you get games.

This talks about deeper issues that everyone ignored till the 1990s

difficulty was a means to sell product. It was a reason to justify lack of content. Fun is not a subjective measurement. What's good for you is good enough alone. You choose to ignore new innovations and only look at rehashes because you don't want to adapt. I'm having a blast raising virtual dogs and cats, walking around in virtual haunted mansions. You're just being angry at things. Which begs the question, who's having fun?

No difficulty is a means to develop a game.
Why is nintendo going back to making difficult games
Because easy games suck ass and everyone is getting sick of them.

That shit still existed back in the AOL / PeoplePC era; only instead of Amazon/Facebook it was a lot of the built-in resources.

That said every single thread there's a bunch of retards condemning eras and acting as if the modern day is far worse than the past. Indie games only very, very recently started existing let alone actual digital marketplaces for PC games and consumer choice.

It's like a competition to be the most hipster normalfag on Sup Forums. It's fine if you like older games and systems (I have a PC-9801 and a PC Engine) but for fucks sake only retards think in absolutes.

> For most normies, PCs and the internet are just Amazon/Facebook machines.

this so much this

When did vidya start getting SJW'ed?

I like 90s PC games the most and still play new titles from that era. Sure they're clunky but they also have tons of interesting ideas and experimentation. The games seemed to have a certain pen & paper type of approach to immersion, even when the games weren't rpgs like Thief. In 2000s the developers moved on to consoles and the games got more focused, in both good and bad I suppose.

yes

Man I'd kill for a game like Jak again.

it cant be since the first contraversies in the 80's and 90's
it must have happened later

>Indie games only very, very recently started existing

You're implying Nintendo knows what it's doing. Nintendo was a company lead by a genius, no different than Apple with Jobs was. They deserved to perish if it weren't for Iwata.

Jesus christ the 90's was awful

Since the NSA and darpa made it a meme

It's really more like liberals are the ones that continued making games, and you, like the very niggers you despise, are not making a game that cater to your own needs but instead choose to bitch about games that cater to someone else.

iwata was what was killing the company with neo nintendo difficulty gameplay non fun hand holding and just mediocrity compared to their original games

In that case, you agree that Nintendo doesn't have a direction at all and your example was moot.

indie games only very very recently started getting attention and somewhat popular*

No the 1990s were the greatest of times.

Your whole family could reject you and you had the most fucked up childhood and you were accepted for it.

Nothing like that ever existed maybe not talked about but it was the culture to accept the not normal.

Now you can just go to youtube and search your problem and it is widespread

The music was the only thing you had back then

CIA memes

>virtue signalling yourself as an oldfag
this is the most pathetic thing I've seen as day

>Why did everything go wrong after 2007?

Recession leading to this Party was over

youtube.com/watch?v=e5iWHk3nwyU&t=151s
your full of shit

No user, that's a fact. The indie wave only seriously started rolling around 2006ish when we saw Cave Story (and to a lesser extent, Yume Nikki) become hits.

Before that point, it was either unfeasible to make and sell indie games (most existed as shareware) due to the lack of a centralized market and demand or outright impossible due to the restrictions in order to enter the console market.

This is purely an American perspective too, as indie games in Japan were an entirely different beast thanks to the different culture around there revolving around selling games in-person at events like Comiket. Even then the market was small compared to today's.

>people leak the bullshit that spawn in Sup Forums outside
I guess you think this is new, or something.

neo nintendo is garbage
only way ill accept them is if they put difficulty in their games again

You really need to learn gaming history.

>Atari didn't exist

Just softmod and have a network adapter/HDD. USB HDD is unplayable due to the speeds. My fat PS2 is still in use today despite not being able to read discs.

Modern Warfare and continued Wii hype

aww I love immunity cat

Leak

No
bud

your obedient to the govt and corporations

BTW its not jews

The world became shit after 2006/2007, don't ask me why

Global economy tanked. Internationalism failed. Inertia drives us forward, though everything is stale. War is inevitable.

why?

Maybe if you were alive around the same time I was you'd realize how retarded you are.

How stupid are you? Even in the pre-Atari days 'indie games' didn't really exist as much as it was the complete wild west. Eventually that came to a close and required you to shack up with a publisher or find a distributor in order to sell games.

And if you think indie games existed, why don't you share some of the biggest indie hits of the era?
