Someone's gonna get triggered by a few of these

There was a lot of bullshit, but the games were good

Things can only get worse.

Kys

because you have shit taste
i didnt even play a single one of those. dont know why i bother coming to this place.

>Xboner

>dont know why i bother coming to this place.

You come here because you don't play video games

you forgot for honor

80% of that list is garbage. Kill yourself.

All shit.

>the state of Xbox

To be a contrarian cunt pretty much, and not only are you a contrarian, you don't even bother with debating the OP.

It's time to find a different hobby.

Can you list some and tell me why they're garbage?

"Tired gamers" are the scum of the board and I'm glad OPs post is triggering the fuck out of them. He's absolutely right. This is one of the best years video games has ever seen and if you honestly can't see that you just don't like video games anymore.

The only good games there are PUBG and South Park

We got Halo Wars 2 though. That was pretty cool.

>20% not garbage
>12-13 great games this year

That's still pretty good

Nioh and Ruiner are awesome. Rest is either okay or straight up garbage

But Nex Machina's better than Ruiner

It’s on PC

well, theyre shit
who wants to play $70 (((story-driven))) walking simulators or mario rehash #3024
that's literally all that's discussed here

>implying he played anything other than those two games this year

You're right, it's more like 95%

You forgot my personal GOTY

I don't think I've ever seen a single thread of this game on Sup Forums.

I really gotta give that game a shot sometime

>Was hyped up as shit for Yooka-Laylee

It's was a good year for 3D Platformers

>no Dream Daddy

Triggering aside years like this happen imo because we are deep into a console generation, devs have a clear idea about their projects and a good knowledge of the platforms and their audiences.
This includes PC as well.
All the others so called good years in gaming happened for the same reason.
>1994
late 4th gen
>1998
late 5th gen
>2004
late 6th gen

We are so happy now because we had no such year in the last gen.
7th gen was a shit, wii was underpowered and by the time devs got the hand out of ps3 it was already late.

Ye, but it isn't on PS4 and Switch.

I was impressed with A Hat in time, I definitely wasn't expecting much from it since there wasn't much hype previous to its release, pirated, played it for like 30 minutes then something just clicked and I ended up binging for a full weekend.

It's shit. Sorry son.
I mean you don't even have to go further than the title to see it's shit.

>Persona 5
>Puyo Tetris
>in the 2017 List
OBSSESED

Is the Battle Chasers game actually good? I've seen a couple of anons recommending

2017 was pretty great, 2016 honestly made me lose faith in the industry (the only 2 games I played that came out that year were ds3 and momodora), but there's been a surprising amount of not shit titles this year, despite a lot of shit coming with it and more jewing of triple a games

It's good as long as you speedhack it to increase the speed of battles

>7th gen was a shit

Outside of a few gems it really was

2017 was not a good year, I lost my job and then suddenly all these good games come out

just made me more depressed that I can't afford any of them

Just take to the high seas friend

2017 was actually a stellar year for vidya, anime and memes. What the fuck happened?

>and memes

2017 memes are terrible though.

20% not garbage, not being garbage is a pretty low bar.
