Try to tell me with a straight face that all these games are bad
Now let's check 2004...
>>722035545I didn't play any of them
>>722035545But OP, a lot of these games are not about straight people...
>Including a remake and a remasterGrim.
>>722035545not all of them are bad3 are good
>>722035714You're right, Metal Gay Solid is very gay.
>>722035591A lot of those are worse so whats your point
indieslopparryslopindieslopindieslopfriendsloptendieslopmovieslopremakes remakesnot a single one of these games will be remembered as a classic in five years, maybe silksong and that's cause of the hk autists
>>722035885Which ones? Be specific now.
>>722035545Imagine being a contrarian, miserable fuck who has to hold up a "new game is Le BAD!!" just so he can fit in with /v/.There are a good amount of games worth checking out on that list, such as:>Expedition 33>Silksong>DK Bananza>Monster Hunter Wilds*>Sword of the Sea (good game, but a bit too short)>Shinobi>Silent Hill f>Metal Gear Solid Delta (inb4 durrrr remaster!)>Ninja Gaiden>Doom: The Dark Ages (it's the worst game in the nu-Doom games, but still a decent game when bought on sale)
>>722035924Yume nikki, doom 3, red dead revolver, warioware
>>722035885Bait or subhuman. Call it.
Dune awakening is the only good game this year
>>722035545All of these games are bad / normieslop. The only game ive bought in the last 3 yrs is picrel.
>>722035545Shinobi is the only great and completely new game there.
>>722035545They are good games that got good reviews
>>722036136>reddithammerfuck off
>>722035591Imagine using Doom 3 and Halo 2 as examples of gaming being better. Get back on your meds, unc
>>722035545>mid, mid, mid, mid, mid.>bad, mid, mid, mid, bad.>mid, mid, mid, bad, good.>Good, mid, mid, mid, badThis is a chart of normie bait, mostly
>>722035545I wouldn't say they are bad but I also am not interested in almost all of them.
>>722036332>Halo 2 badkys
>>722035591>new can't be good cuz old was already goodI'm being sincere when I say you should commit suicide, you're obviously just a miserable faggot.
>>722035545You will never get me to buy borderlands 4, ghost of antifa tooth asian, or anything nintendo. After that I'd have to try them out
>>722035545>journalists say these games are good so gaming isn't dead christ was a retarded take
>Wilds>88
>>722035545Clair Obscur and Silksong were good. Haven't played the rest.
>>722036064No one is playing your old games gramps
>>722036471That 2004 list is like 20x better than the 2025 list at least. Fuck off zoomer mutt
>>722036475>You will never get me to buy borderlands 4,This.Borderlands 4 being considered 'good' alone tells me 2025 normalfags have (predictably) utterly shit taste and I can't trust anything else on this image, there is no fucking way gaming isn't dead Borderlands is a garbage series only enjoyed by genuine retards
>>722035545I've played 7 of these and enjoyed them.>>722035591I've played 9 of these and enjoyed them.Games are good and always have been.
>>722035591too much nintendo shit

>>722035924sh4, prime2, paper mario 2, riddick, pop:ww, and smt3 are pretty lackluster.lots of sequels to mediocre games I never finished too (jak, ratchet, sly, halo)
>>722036927>retard thinks Halo 2, Zero Mission, and Half-Life 2 are the best games on that listRetarded brown person with shit taste
>>722035857Unironically. I tried to play it and I had to stop. It's the most homosexual game I've ever played, and there's nothing gay in it.
Roblox
>>722035545E33 is the only I might try, fuck the rest
>>722037026>Mario TTYD, Ratchet & Clank, Sly 2, and Halo 2 are mediocre
>>722037038I did miss katamari. That's another 0.25 so 4.25
>>722037137Paper Mario 1, Banjo, and GoldenEye were better.
>>722037137Mario ttyd, ratchet and jank, and sly are no even mediocre they are straight up shit. Take off your rose tinted glasses and play them today.
>>722037257Banjo is not even remotely the same type of genre you colossal fucking retard>>722037335Retarded faggot, go play fortnite
>>722037137R&C was good.The rest are mediocre.Halo in general is xbox babbies first shooter series.
>>722037257>GoldenEye better than Haloyou can't be fucking serious
Anyone ITT trying to convince people that this >>722035545 is anywhere close to this >>722035591 is just deluding themselves
>>722037257I hate N64tards so much it’s unreal>>722037335Wrong
What do we think about 2007? A lot of people act like it's one of the best years but honestly seems kind of mid to me (far better than modern but still)
>>722037872They're both charts full of mediocre games with a few good games.They're more similar than you want to believe
>>722037997>They're both charts full of mediocre games with a few good games.>They're more similar than you want to believe
>>722035545I legit forgot that monster hunter came out this year
>>722037094>there's nothing gay in it.Do we tell him?
>>722035591>2 metroids in 1 yearbros.... where did everything go wrong?
>>722036871>Metal Gear Solid Delta>>worse version of a 25 year old game you can emulate for freeYou are clinically retarded and a contrarian try hard if you honestly believe this.
>>722038094It's the GOTY for sure, but still not for casuals despite its best efforts.
>>722037970There's better games from 2007 than every game on this image
>>722035591The funny thing is if we were in 2004 right now, /v/ would this was a terrible fucking year.
>>722038053>brownoid can't resist posting his favorite pictures of niggers
>>722038229I'm assuming you're saying I missed some good games?
stop playing aaashit
>>722038314Yes.
>>722038214seems a bit divisive to be goty, but I haven't played the full game myself so I don't have a real opinion on it
>>722035545I cant spot a single original idea or brand new gameplay innovation in any of those games tried E33 and was literally JRPG gameplay with parry button and western aesthethics
>>722038370If you're not going to name them then nobody cares and shut the fuck up subhuman
>>722037094>there's nothing gay in it.
>>722035545More than a few are mid and Borderlands 4 is straight up bad
It's funny how you guys will spend years and years arguing as to why video games doesnt feel as funny, engaging or fresh as it once used to instead of accepting the fact that todays video games arent made with you in mind as a demographic.You aged out of your primary hobby, you're like 48 year old in a nightclub complaining about how they arent playing Ace of Base.
>>722038478>Borderlands 4 is straight up badmore like straight up BADASS
>>722038597Like respecting wamen amirite?
>>722037970>midyou are a zoomer, so your opinion doesnt matter
>>722037558And Perfect Dark was better than Goldeneye, but Goldeneye was better because it was the first one and so much farther ahead than anything else.

>>722038559Anon, there is no one else buying games. It's just millenials and some of the older zoomzooms. Everyone younger than that doesn't buy a god damn thing, they play F2P bullshit on mobile devices, or maybe Roblox.

>>722035545I'm playing Hades II right now, and it's definitely a step down from the first game so far. Protagonist's motivations aren't as interesting as the first game, antagonist is pretty lame so far, the interpersonal relationships between NPCs seem far weaker than the first game, everything seems to unlock way too fast compared to the first game (I managed to reach the final boss in only three runs) and most of the weapons and boons feel bad.
>>722037970>>722038954>super paper marioWhat a dogshit game.

>>722035545Not sure if bad but Yoshi Island is better than everything here put together. I don't get the point of new games, you can just download thousands of better games that already exist.

>>722049328>no I called out how my methodology was retarded mom says you're not allowed to criticize itwell ok then
>>722049852The newfags we tried to bully are now oldfags with nostalgia for their childhood games. Like /a/ and Naruto.
>>722053286Naruto WAS good though
>>722053082>over an hour laterYou could have just let it go, but the ego was too much.
>>722053286that's not the way it works.
How did borderlands get an 82 when it's literally unplayable on consoles if you play for more than 30 minutes?
>>722053343browser was open while I was away from computer. zoomers can't understand the concept of stepping away from the internet frfr
>>722035545Only expedition 33 is worth playing on that list.2004 list fucking slams this list so hard.I will say though there are some decent games this year like Jump Space, lego voyagers, Abiotic factor, schedule 1.The high budget ones are fucking terrible though, that's the big difference.
>>722048439new ninja gaiden is real weird mix of old and newit has a(n incredibly obvious) character arc, but since dialogue is limited to like 3 lines at the beginning of each stage, devs might as well have limited it to more static banterthe bosses are all endurance tests that you can't rush down due to bloated health points and "cooldown" on how often you can stun them dishonorable FUCK YOU to 1-3 boss on hardmode, what a slogthe hardmode stage remix is good, but boss rush sequel bait and reunlocking everything is badlmao'ing at "accessibility options" that are just good old cheating, but nothing like "hold attack to spam it instead of mashing"
>>722037006>FFT>sequelu wot m8?
>>722035545>Remakes>Shit sequels that no one asked for>Mario Kart but Nintendo dropped the ball biglyModern gamers are oppressed enough to believe this is a good year.
>metacriticpostingzoomzoom if u cant make the difference between a good soundtrack and a bad one, between innovation and cv paste, between good art direction and bad, dont share ur opinionhades? silksong? random indie shit? fftactics REMAKE? what is even this shit
>>722035545Death Stranding 2 was better than the first game as a combat game, not as a delivery sim and I'm sick of pretending it's not.Monster Hunter Milds was fucking horrible. Completely fucking retarded release with no content and instability issues everywhere.Final Fantasy Tactics demake is a remake so it doesn't count. It's also worse than the original.Metal Gear Solid Delta is a remake so it doesn't count. It also include TAA artifacts so it's shit.Doom TDA is fucking simon says retarded bullshit.Borderlands 4 is borderlands so it's retarded.
The industry's contractions have basically eradicated developer "middle class" is a relevant issue that leads to lesser overall amount of games, even as budgets are only getting higher for the big projects. But if you are indeed more interested in distinct games, polish or not you aren't just pretending to care about VTMB or first Witcher or release day KotoR2 for gamer cred, right?, then you have no excuse for bitching about $CURRENT_YEAR's breakout hits that by definition have broad appeal to low powerlevel individuals. You go gold-panning and dumpster-diving, instead of listening to idiots on twitter rambling about the most popular things that have reached them.Or you can just throw buzzwords and review scores given out by journos around, and pretend as if you are above the unenlightened masses, instead of just being their inversion.
>>722035591jesus christ you murdered him
>>722035545Feminist slop ruins so many games lately
>>722035545All these games are bad.
>>722035545They're all thoroughly worse versions of things that came out 20 years ago and are coded by indians and written by psychotic womenThere's absolutely nothing good there

>>7220355914chan shat on literally all of these
>>722057781wrong
>>722036471New CAN be good. It just rarely ever is.Everything new has to be run through a million focus groups and market tested, everything basically becomes the same bland corporate slop made for 65iq brownoids because theyre 9/10ths of the market now.Very, very few new things are made entirely by people that love the thing theyre making. Even fewer are made by people that have any respect for their audience. This is a very modern phenomenon, which is why new stuff almost always sucks ass.
>>722035545Hades 2 is just fine, Expedition 33 isnt for me but it seems competent, didn't play blue prince, didnt play silk song, didnt play split fiction, didn't play donkeykong bananza but it looks decent, didnt play death stranding 2, monster hunter wilds has legitimate issues that keep me from calling it good, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was legitimately good, sword of the sea is interesting but I think I preferred Journey, FF Tactics is good so I expect its port to modern systems will be good, not going to get Ghost of Yotei it dont like the politics the voice actress and Tsushima is already a good game i can do without, didnt play shinobi, didnt play mariokart world, silent hill f doesnt look like my thing im sure itll be fine for the right people, mgs3 remake looks good i guess but i have old mg3 i think ill just stick with that, i have no idea what alters is, didnt play the ninja gaiden series at large, doom the dark ages looks like it misses the point of what made doom 2016 good but i thought doom eternal also missed the mark, im not playing Borderlands 4.
>>722058664 / >>722035591i liked san andreas, never played burnout 3, never played minish cap, liked UT 2004, never played twisted, never played gran turismo, i played SH4 the room as a rental it was okay i guess, never played any fireemblem, never played firered, never played ace combat, liked halo 1 2 3 reach and odst didnt like anything else halo except for halo 4's cortana design, never played paper mario, never played red dead revolver, never played mario v donk, never played def jam, liked half life 2 and its episodes and the portal games, never played ratchet, liked VtM Bloodlines, liked Nocturne, didnt like Farcry, never played joe, never played katamari, i preferred OG everquest to WoW, i liked fable, never played sly, never played nikki, i dont know what the next one is, liked snake eater, never played jak, LOVED the riddick games, never played kirby, battlefront is fun, never played NG, never played Pikmin, liked Doom 3 for what it was, never played megaman zero 3, absolutely love KotOR II, never played n4s, sims games arent my thing but i think its a neat concept for the right people, never played warioware (would have preferred more wario land/world style games), i like some of the hitman games, didnt play any total war games, the prince of persia trilogy from that timeframe was neat, never played cave story, DQVIII is good but not my favorite dragonquest, never played the spiderman games, never played the metroid games.

Anyone who posts metacritic in any light other than negative deserves to have their face smashed in with a tire iron.>DUDE BRO LOOK AT THESE PAID OFF SHILLS TELLING PEOPLE TO BUY PRODUCT!
>>722059805To give the devil his due, shill scores still convey information. /V/irgins are retards when they try to go LOOK MY NUMBER IS BIGGER THAN YOURS HOW WILL YOU EVER RECOVER? but the site itself can still be used to gauge a thing or three. It's just that whether you'd actually enjoy the game is not one of those things. Hopefully your pattern recognition and self-awareness are good enough to understand that from promo screenshots and/or videos online.
>>722058396Right.
>>722060024>the site itself can still be used to gauge a thing or three.
>>722060401>lots of reviews, both critic and commonner>recieved very positively by players and extremely positively by critics>ps5 and nothing elseIf you do not know what to make of this information, then you are the kind of braindead retard towards whom pure numerical scores are tailored for. What do you think positive reception from the masses means, you dumbass? Does that say anything to you, or can you not make a judgment call without /v/'s approval?>inb4 millions of flies can't be wrongI hope that you aren't that stupid to think I mean green metacritic scores are useful for gauging a game's quality.
>>722035545There's an awful lot of them on their I'll never touch.
>>722060876It looks like you're understanding my point, but failing to understand the conclusion I made as a result. The metacritic score can't be trusted precisely because it can be influenced by obvious bias, and only acts as fuel for console warriors to spam in their respective threads. If a metric isn't consistent or reliable, then any scientist worth his sodium will discard it.
>>722036136My condolences.The PVP sucks, the coop is worse than darktide, and the story is closer to call of duty than it is to a Warhammer story. Only good thing about it is that it was only 40 bucks. I would have malded if it was 70
>>722035545>Hades 2Inferior to the first game in almost every way. Not bad, but a downgrade.>Expedition 33Great.>Blue PrinceGood.>SilksongGood.>Split FictionPozzed garbage for middle-aged women.>DK BananzaAlright game but made for literal 5 year olds.>Death Stranding 2Embarrassing garbage.>Monster Hunter WildsGood game because it's still Monster Hunter, but a very weak entry in the series overall with tons of issues.>KCD2Inferior to the first game in almost every way. Not bad, but a downgrade.>Sword of the SeaAlright game, nothing special.>FFTRemake slop.>Ghost of YoteiNot out yet, but the first game was already just inoffensive, barely fun console gaming.>ShinobiNot out yet, but doesn't look like anything special.>Mario Kart WorldIt's Mario Kart. It's alright, it's fun, but it's nothing to talk about.>Silent Hill fPretty bad game, even though I liked the story.>MGS3Remake slop.>AltersAlright, but a bit of an aimless mess.>NG RageboundGood.>Doom TDAEmbarrassing parry garbage. Not Doom, not fun, not entertaining.>Borderlands 4Worst game on the list, easily. I won't even talk to anyone about video games who enjoys something like that.Overall yeah, not bad. Does it do anything about the problems plaguing the industry? Does it make up for the constant flood of trash games? Does it stop journalists and developers from trying to be Hollywood? Does it stop awful localizations, the remake cycle or the tranny menace in general from shitting up games? Look at Hades 2, which is getting rave reviews mostly because of le diversity, even though it's almost a direct downgrade to the first game in every other way. Blue Prince and E33 are the only games on that list that at least *attempt* to do something fresh and don't fumble the ball like a paraplegic filipino while doing so, even though they still use old ideas. Zoomers will make fun of the anon who posted the collage from 2004, but I see a lot more unique and interesting games there.
>>722061045That's why steam reviews with appropriate play time are much better.
>>722061218
>>722035792Less grim than including Borderlands.
They are all either SHIT or SLOP. Without exception.
>>722037970Halo 3 cost like $60, came with great campaign, multiplayer, maker mode etc. Screw anyone who says gaming was bad back then, it was better than shit now in a lot of ways.
>>722061045Sociology and market research have a teneous relationship with scientific method, but you can still get useful info from mean opinion scores. The simple existence of "obvious bias" or "review bombing" or whatever the hell implies a game is widespread among the public or prestigious among the journos or divisive between them. It is not an exact science, of course, but most of human-adjacent things aren't.Once again, this has nothing to do with quality nor console warriors' plight.
>>722035545They really trying to pretend a nearly 30 year old SRPG and 20 year old stealth game is modern gaming?
DUDE 2025 IS SICK FR NO CAP>Borderlands 4>Doom the Dark Ages>A remake>A remaster>Silent Hill f>The worst Mario Kart game>Shit nobody cares about>Death Stranding 2 and the worst Donkey Kong game (in the platformer series at least)Still we got NG4, E33 and Silksong so I guess it's better than last year's output.
>>722035545Bananza is goodI liked the combat in Shinobi but not the platformingThe rest is trash, maybe not Blue Prince I don't know enough about it to comment
>>722061449>but you can still get useful info from mean opinion scores. That's incorrect, due to the presence of shills and paid bots. All it takes is one man from an indian marketing company, with a few phones and a VPN, and you can give the illusion of 10000+ people sharing a positive opinion of a product. Have you never seen this before in politics, or social media? Sometimes they get lazy and rehash the exact same post, word for word, and post it under different accounts. The only opinion you can trust is a negative one. Nobody is gonna hire someone to post a negative review, but positive reviews can be bought and paid for en masse. for example:>average positive review>OH MY QUIRK CHUNGUS, THIS GAME IS 10/10 KEANU WHOLESOME, IT CURED MY CANCER AND MADE ME LE EPIC GIGACHAD, THUMBS UP <33333>average negative review>this game suffers problems, has framerate issues, crashes constantly, and the dev lied about content here and here, and they've stopped posting updates despite it being early access. avoid!Now who will I trust to deliver me accurate information regarding a product's quality?
Well if they are good I sure don't know about it because I played literally 0 games from that image and I only plan to play 1 of them at some point in the future.
>>722061678Add the worst mainline Monster Hunter to that list.Wilds is very meh
>>722035591>2004that's literally everything from 2004 OP is just a fraction.
>>722061745I'll double down on>The simple existence of "obvious bias" or "review bombing" or whatever the hell implies (things)I agree with the negative reviews bit, but it's never about the score itself, a cheap shilling campaign is an obvious campaign like it happens on /v/ with ubisoft lmao. The juicy data is the fact that a particular game was botted at all, and you can decide that if you are presumptuous enough. I guess if you are a proponent of literally everything being fake and gay on a professional level, then it's no good either. But then you have to wonder what's the deal with 50-reviews-on-steam games.
>>722035545The only good ones are Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden.
>>722035545Kojimbos movie is cringeWilds runs like ass and is assDoom gets boring after 2 levelsOther than that, decent games
>>722061180Supremely based post.
>>722062073>I guess if you are a proponent of literally everything being fake and gay on a professional level, Yes, I am a proponent of that. I will gladly shit on game journalists, even as they're praising games that I love. Same with fans who are just there for retarded meme reviews. >But then you have to wonder what's the deal with 50-reviews-on-steam games.When buying any game on steam, the reviews are only good for telling me what's wrong with the game, and it is on this basis and this basis only that I'll consider buying a game. If the negative consensus is that the game has problems, but is still good, then it's worth a buy. If everyone collectively shares horror stories about the game being broken or unplayable, then that's a skip.
>>722035545I can think of two of these I'll buy in two years for under 20 bucks.
>>722062371If there's a game with only a handful of exclusively positive reviews, what do you make of it? Is it too niche, too shilled, too unknown?
>>722062687A game can be good, even if only 5 people liked it. I've played and enjoyed games where there were only 5 reviews in total. If they're all positive, then I check the forum to see if anyone is complaining about game breaking bugs. If there's still nothing, then I can just pirate it to see if it's good, and then buy it later on sale.There's so many ways to gauge a game's quality, without relying on game journalism or the masses.
>>722062801Yeah we're stunlocked on "gauge a game's quality" part. I'll just reiterate that "metacritic is useful" point was never about that, but only game's reception, and bow out.
>>722035545There is not a single thing here I feel like playing>>722035591Damn, there's so much awesome and innovative stuff here
>>722062902A game's reception means nothing. Whether it's something only 5 people played, or 40 million, it doesn't affect the game quality, nor does it give you an idea of the quality. GTA6 is gonna be guaranteed to sell a hundred trillion copies and get 99+ scores across the board, but that doesn't tell you a thing about the game itself other than how much they spent on marketing.
>>722038954Nice old school list, anon.
>>722035545>>722035591All of these games are unironically bad and you need to grow up and become a wagecuck. Also stop collecting toys, playing tabletop, and watching anime, and reading comic books. The only acceptable entertainment is sports, drinking, and listening to country music.
>>722035545>1 good game>>722035591>6 good games

>>722035545Zoomers and normalfag cattle thinking this is a good lineup really shows that standards have never been lower
>>722063753back then the bar for a good game was much lower, go and replay some of those old games, i dare you.>dawn of a new generation reallymore like dawn of franchise and nostalgia bait.
>>722063913Youre joking right? You having a laff zoomie?
>>722063960t. millenial playing games since the early 2000s, and yes gaming back then sucked, bugs were never patched, some games were borderline impossible to finish, story was always terrible, gameplay was mediocre. we just didn't know better.
>>722063913>go and replay some of those old gamesThat's what we all do because modern garbage doesn't give you any other options.
>>722064034Dilate
>>722064214>that's what we all dono, that's what you do in a vain attempt to recapture your youth. nostalgia is a powerful drug.
>>722035545Kingdom Come 2 is the only genuinely good game there.
>>722035545standards are a lot lowers now
>>722064310>Let me tell you what you were actually thinking
>>7220355457 games there ar BAD, but other than that pretty good year
>>722035545Most of them are and I see at least 2 that came out 20+ years ago so they're disqualified.
>>722035591Wow, you posted the best vidya year ever, so I guess every year after that and before that is shit. You're such a smart poster.2025 is still shit outside of a few games
I prefer to tell you with a closed wallet that that I simply won't buy any of that trash.Enjoy your new chink/saudie overlords, wokie

>>722035545Let's see.>bad, good, good, bad, good>bad, bad, bad, bad, bad>bad, bad, bad, bad, bad >bad, bad, bad, bad, bad3 out of 20. Not a great record.
>>722035923Blue Prince is the best puzzle game ever made. It is one of the best games of all time full stop. It is an absolute masterpiece, and i consider not playing it to be missing out on an essential part of the human experience, and i am 100% serious when i say this.
>>722035545>recency biasCome back in 2 years and we'll see.
>>722035545I haven't played any of those. There's like 3 I might give a chance when they're in the bargain bin. Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2 (if I ever finish the first), Metal Gear Remaked looked good and maaaaybe The Alters.Only full price game I bought this year was Stellar Blade, also played a lot of Marvel Rivals and a bunch of older games from the Backlog.
>>722070786Meanwhile there's lists like >>722037970 where I've played like 15 excluding some of the Animu ones, many at Launch.
>>722035545deadass? no cap? fr fr?
>>722035545test
>>722038954the entire prime trilogy released within 5 yearswhy cant we go back to that
>>722037970Every Valve game is fucking dogshit, so that brings it down a lot
>>722036136>Normieslop>Troonhammerlolmao
>>722068552Ive watched streams of the game and its just a puzzle game with RNG, relax negro
>>722035545only Bananza, MKW, SHf, Shinobi and FFT are good.
>>722061180>Split fictionChecks out, I bought it for my parents to play it together because they liked It Takes Two
>>722061180I am honestly sad that I boughted BL4It is >oneshot the boss several times until you get the items then repeat 1 or 2 times more on another boss"endgame" againLike, they straight up copied Destiny 2 endgame but giving you literally no reason to engage with it because you can just farm bosses to get the same result faster
>>722061180Based indeed
>>722061323Yes, whats your point2018 got overwhelmingly positive because its betterThis got very positive because its good>NOOO BUT LE ONIONS KRATOS MEME NOOOOHe doesn't even say what we quote here, it's just a joke
>>722035545I'm startled silksong is so low, that shit was fuckin' nice.I guess I should look at hades 2.
>>722072107>Only the tranny, absolute fucking dogshit games are goodYeah figures
>>722073246woah there xer, don't startle xerselfWe don't want your neovagina bursting open
>>722073968What are you seething about now?
>>722035545>>722035591Alright, first let me cross out all the trashNow, looking at the fact that 2004 is a heavily cherrypicked year (Why not January-September 2005?), I think the conclusion to take is in fact that gaming is still good.
>>722076085>Crosses out the original World of Warcraft release but not the shitty nu-silent hill death stranding garbageYeah you might be braindead.
>>722077196WoW was a plague that ruined an entire genre, if only crossing it out could erase it from history.
>>722077196>it was good because it was fotm when I was a kidRetard
>Hades IIGood game, but a downgrade to the original despite having double the content thanks to so many of the weapon builds being trash>E33Actually good>Blue PrinceActually good, if niche>SilksongGood, but not as good as the original. Wouldn't have had the same hype had it not been the "never ever" game for so long>Split FictionGood but It Takes Two was better>DK BananzaGood but too short, and the paid DLC was clearly meant to be in the main game but pulled out at the last minute to squeeze more money out of people>Death Stranding 2Movieslop that makes the original game seem logical in comparison with how silly it gets>Monster Hunter WildsMH has kind of just become an EA Sports style game at this point where it's just effectively the same game being released over and over and over with tweaks, and loaded with paid DLC before the cycle continues again>KCDIIA surprisingly good sequel to an ok original, /v/ got way too blinded by a gay romance option and a black man to appreciate it>Sword of the SeaComfy mindless game to play over one weekend/day and then forget>FF TacticsA port of a 28 year old game, now with voice acting and some censorship>Ghost of Yoteilol>ShinobiFine, but forgotten>Mario Kart WorldHas been panned harder than any other MK game with some of the worst track designs in the series, with people already going back to 8.>Silent Hill fFeels a little "Silent Hill in name only" but seems decent>Snake EaterA port of a 21 year old game, and one that has been ported multiple times already. At least has a decent amount of new content>AltersSeems decent, but nobody played it>Ninja Gaiden Rage BoundFine, but like the similar Shinobi, forgotten already>Doom Dark AgesConsidered a downgrarde to previous games of the series>Borderlands 4Major performance issues on launch killed it on arrivalSo yeah, they're not ALL bad.
>>722035923I think E33 and Blue Prince will be remembered as classics. Likely Donkey Kong too depending on how the Switch 2 original games go from here.
>>722077606E33 maybe just because its been overwanked, but blue prince will be forgotten in a sea of other indie puzzleslop.Its sad how a good game is so rare these days that people will fellate it as if it were a 10/10 masterpiece.
>>722038941Unironically, Dead Island 2 deserves to be on there over at least five of those games
>>722076085>crossed off TTYDFuck off retard.Rightside has 3x as many games and Blue Prince was junk shilled by jewish journalists, cross that shit off too.
>>722035545That list was made by someone who pretends to like videogames.
>>722036810Based
>>722077803>but blue prince will be forgotten in a sea of other indie puzzleslopLorelei was forgotten too but it doesn't change the fact it's a masterpiece as well. Gamers are just retards. You don't know how good you have it and you can't appreciate it.
>>722035545Looking at this list it's somehow worse than I thought it would be
>>722035545
>>722056418It unironically is a good game. The combat is a big flaw because of how bad the stamina mechanic is, but it is a solid game.
>>722078216based
>>72207821Actual underage tourist>>722078571Samefag
>>722078216Made me realize why it's so bad everything listed is at best as good as another game that already existed
Wikipedia's "List of video games considered the best" is fucking depressing too. You get all these games considered some of the best ones all the way to the 2018 and then suddenly in 2019 you only got one or two anymore.>It's wikipedia bro, who gives a shit about what that site saysYeah yeah i know, heard it million fucking times before but the fact is that it's not what Wikipedia considers the best, it's a list of video games what people consider are some of the best ones ever, Wikipedia just simply documents that shit and the fact is that not even game journalists or even gamers themselves consider a lot of games some of greatest ever made anymore. Notice that the year 2024 got a single one in the list. That's how bad things are.
>>722078951Does slop like Hades and Hollow Shite really deserve to be there?
>>722079052No.
>>722035545>Shit>Overhyped shit.>OK roguelite that starts repeating itself in 2 hours.>Good game.>Terrible wokeslop.>Overpriced slop.>Ok game>Unoptimized garbage.>Worse than original.>Wokeslop>Lazy rehash.>Trannyslop.>Great game.>Overpriced slop.>Overpriced girlboss scam game.>Overpriced and useless remake.>Wokeslop.>Great game.>Overpriced good game.>Overpriced shit game.Wow what a list.
Video games are a dying medium. No one needs to try hard when you’ll buy the slop anyway. It’s just like how good blockbusters aren’t made anymore. It lived and died with a single generation. No one reads novels either. Gachaslop is the current meta and that too will live and die with zoomers. All consooming fads will end at some point.
>>722035545They're all bad and my face is straighter than your sexual orientation
>>722078072At a glance it's presented like its the top 20 highest scoring games of the year, but Borderlands is ranked 72nd on Metacritic right now.The full list is messed up a little by a bunch of ports, "HD" remasters, and "Switch 2" editions, but amongst the higher scoring games missed are:>Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter [90]>despelote [89]>Monster Train 2 [87]>Pipstrello and the Cursed Yoyo [87]>Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector [86]>The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy [84]>Lost in Random: The Eternal Die [83]>PEAK [82]
>>722035545I played at least half of those games, including the most hyped like DS2, Silksong and Bananza, and none cured my existential dread, so....I also think NG4 will be my GOTY. Next year looks way better for me (Nioh 3, RE9 and GTA6)
DS 2 is a good experience but I find it hard to call it a game.Silksong is a 7/10 platformerEverything else in that list is god awful
>>722079687>Silksong is a 7/10 platformerGood thing its not a pure platformer, but a metroidvania (9/10). Still dropped it near the end of act 2, but I dont care about metroidvanias since the DS era
Ok you smartasses then come up with a game
>>722035545I don't know much about FF, Shinobi or Ninja Gaiden so i let them pass but I think this reasonable.
>>722035545/v/ doesn’t count indie games as real games.
>>722035545I haven't played any of those games and they don't look interesting to me so probably yesI would've considered Silksong but I don't want to play as a female protagonist
>>722081448>I don't want to play as a female protagonistThats as fucking cringe as the people that only want to play as females
>>722035545>putting any stock whatsoever in 2025 game reviews bona fide retardation
>>722077606E33 is gonna get a heavy reevaluation in later years that won't be pretty, it won't be Bioshock infinite levels but E33 is gonna be heavily derided as not that good and an example of western bias againstJapanese games that aren't Nintendo or Fromsoft
>>722082303That's funny because it released right after a really low quality fatlus game got astroturfed to infinity. Maybe SE games are just that bad, pal.
