Did this meme from 2010 date well?
>>728502605I remember 2010 felt like /v/ got infested with redditors really badly
>>7285026057th gen is retro and it was the golden age of video game (I was born in 2004)
>>728502605The golden age is now
it could have been if they didn't end up on social media and could install an emulatoralas they are retardedpeople would have killed back then to be able to throw a party with friend and play literally any game on any pre PS3 console for the weekend/night
>>728502605Well I was born in 2002 and don't think I "grew up in the golden age of gaming", so probably not
>>728502605Based on what I see, yes. There are lots of posts that defend the 360/PS3/Wii era
the golden age of gaming is right now because i can buy a ps5 for cheap and have access to all my favourite games from every generation on it and they all look and play better than ever
Like father, like son.
>>728502605How could it not be a golden age if you are born in Fortnite, you live in Fortnite, and you will die in Fortnite? The boomers had many games, the zoomers have the One True God Game
>>728503383so what unc?your first gaming experience as a kid will always be the best, nothing will ever top it, you will never reach that chilhood gaming peak and experience the novelty of it ever again no matter how hard you tryyou can't play gta5 and then go back to gta sa and find it impressive, there's nothing wrong with the fact that in the time when you are alive the culture surrounding you is fortnite or fifa or whatever AAA games, it's literally finetrying to catch up on things you will never understand and appreciate at the cost of becoming a social pariah is simply retarded, people should live in the time period when they are actually alive and interact with things surrounding them, you can keep your fossils to yourself if you like them so much
>frogtrannies who joined in 2016 posted thinking they experienced the golden age of 4chan
>>728503750>a retard that doesn't know the difference between apu and pepe
>>728503750The word meme always bothered me. Starting to tag things and taking it in a serious matter started the downfall, it's normie behavior. Advice dog is just that, a fucking dog , not a meme. Controlling and cold, dumb even.
>>728502605No because it has incel frog on it, so it's automatically ass
the pax romana of video games was from 1990 to 2005we went from fucking snes to xbox 360 in that timespanfrom super mario world to half life 2
>>728504026>the frog and the mentally retarded frog are totally different things bro
>>728503750pre-2014 was the golden agecostanza.jpg was the absolute height of the 4chan empire
>>728504179I grew up with LUE and LUElinks and we called it "fads".
The 2002 kids are 23 years old by now.
>>728502605First thing I'm reminded of...
>>7285026055th to 7th gen was the golden age, if you were able to experience the rapid advancements as they happened it lent a greater appreciation. Being born during/around 1995 was really the perfect point to appreciate.
>>728503616Wrong and retarded and groomed
>>728504407This but 2008 with EFG >>728504654Dumb comic, everyone knows the 50s and the 80s were peak culture. Soi 70s hippies were garbage and zoomers have no cultural identity other than ragebait and cancel culture, look it up if you don't believe me.
>>728503616so not true. you can go back and enjoy old games in the same way you can enjoy old music
Pepe memes are based and i hope it will have a resurrection in the near future.
>>728504654Objectively someone growing up through the 5th-7th generations had it best. 2010s was when advancements slowed down and enshittification began. Earlier gens did have their advancements, but it was stuff like going from 8bit to 16bit which wasn't nearly as dramatic.
>>728502605yes
>>728504778You didn't grow up during either decade and only know them via surface level pop slop.
People born after 9/11 have Covid to look back on and say "people born after Covid 19 will not realize how the world has changed in such a short period of time."
Pepe memes are cringe and i hope it will fall into obscurity and irrelevance in the near future.
By the time that image was made zoomers were already old enough to idolize the early xbox 1 / 360 brogamer days that old /v/ despised. So it was an easy projection to make.
>>728502605I was born in 1999 and think i grew up just after the golden age of gaming. I kinda got the tail end of it and in hindsight games really peaked around the late 90s-early 2000s.
>>728502951Papu Papu's redesign looks so weird
>>728504880wrong because the experience of an old book or song hasn't changed in centuries: you read one page and then the next, you listen one song of the album and then the next.with games it's obviously different since you are supposed to play them and they are specifically tied to the technological progressit's simply retarded to pretend that you played an old ps2 game on a modern tv through an emulator and think unironically that you have experienced the game
>>728505020Economic factors, statistics, lifestyles and products of the era. Yeah i think it's fair it enough to say that those were the golden years. The 90s were fine because we lived trough the technological boom but society decayed a lot around mid 00s.Get angry all you want but current day society is dystopian, stores lock products that cost less than the plastic case they are in. Zoomers are just angry mentally ill retards so it won't get better any time soon.
>>728502947the DS and 360 were great consoles but after that is when the stagnation set in and led to where we are now. The golden age basically died with them.
Its basically impossible to describe the feeling of progress video games went through technologically and culturally since their inception. Watching it go from Arcades to home consoles to the internet felt like advancing from cavemen to the Jetsons overnight. I miss the feeling of being excited for the next big thing because the next step forward was always going to be better. Now new things can only signal a bad omen.
>>728502947Literally me>>728505538I would switch ds for PSP, otherwise /thread
>>728505941>>728502947OUT OF THE WEBSITE, your kind is revolting
>>728505265>you read one page and then the next, you listen one song of the album and then the next.you sit on your couch and you play the game on the tv
>>728506087I have nowhere else to go, Like you said I have no culture of my own.
>>728506087Already seething millennial, don't worry, l probably hate the new generation as much you do
>>728504654this image is so dumb
>>728506179learn to install an emulatorplay the gamestalk about the gamesfucking retard
>>728506106no retard>you swap discs, play on an ancient ass tv and so on, no internet with porn mods and guides and no eceleb grifters screaming in your ears how dogshit that game isthat's what the experience was like for those who actually were alive at that moment and experienced it at launch or at least when it was still relevant>>728506087we own this board unc, media panders to us, you lost
>>728504654Reminded me of this
>>728502605The golden age of gaming was 1985-around 2011/2012. Things went to shit in the very late 7th gen. GTA V and The Last of Us in 2013 signalled the start of the current era of crap.
>>728506457so its exactly like musicwe can listen to music on our phones anywhere with wireless headphones while working out, that shit wasnt possible before
>>728506457Not a single game announced at the game wards caters to zoomers. Most people companies want the next roblox not the next fortnite. You are out of time, you just haven't realized it.
>>728506592>so its exactly like musickeep acting like a retard>we can listen to music on our phones anywhere with wireless headphones while working out, that shit wasnt possible beforethat's not the point, nothing about experiencing the medium itself has changed>>728506785>Not a single game announced at the game wards caters to zoomerscope
They still had it nice. Second half of the 2010s is basically the beginning of the Kali Yuga of gaming, we're knee deep in it now.
>>728505353I'm not disagreeing that current day society sucks but the 80s/50s weren't that great under the surface.
>>728506832>copeThat means nothing, use your words you fucking retard.
>>728503087As a 39 year old it was genuinely good (obvious signs of formulaic and stale game development aside), I must've bought like 70 - 80+ games for the 360. My soul will always belong with 90's PC though.
>>728506457>media panders to usYou were created by the media, retard. You're no different to those trannies and Commies who do the bidding of "the man" and then when "the man" relents to the tranny and Commie demands they act as if "the man" is terrified of their pacifism, rainbow flags, starvation flags, and general pathetic demeanor, and the fact their demands lineup absolutely perfectly with changes that "the man" wanted to bring in all along the trannies and Commies say it's just coincidence.Long story short, I'll knock you the fuck out.
02 here. The best run was 97 - 04 while 01 was the best year overall
>>728506832i don't see how thats different from gaming. youre doing the same thing. you can still even use physical games where you have to take out the CD and stuff. the only difference is the quality of the television and with access to internet you COULD look up a solution if you wanted to but i dont know why you would want to do that unless you get some retarded castlevania simons quest type puzzle
>>728507269yeah it went downhill for me after around that period
>>728507269Wrong.
>>728502605There are people on /v/ who unironically think Sonic 06 is a good game. This board is fucking dead.
>>728502605the nostalgia train for fortnite has already started so we’re all fucked
>>728506507>>728504654Both images suck dick, being able to recognize we peaked at one point in a certain aspect of life and are now in decline just makes sense, even when someone refutes the point like >>728504778 some retard will come up with "you werent there!" like >>728505020, so the only way to disagree with it is being over 22 and thinking we live in the apex of civilization, which anyone can just look at it and tell its obviously not the case.Vidya peaked in the 90'sAnimu in the 2000'sMovies in the 80'sMusic in the 70's
>>728505060911 only really changed the USGay. Covid was truly international and a bigger catalyst for change. You guys were bombing and invading other countries many times in the 90s already. Nobody else really gave a fuck about your Spiderman movie poster buildings going down.
>>72850477860s and 70s were better than the 80s and it's not even close, except video games but those weren't good anyway
the golden age was circa 95 to 05 with some god tier games before and after
>>728509045People actually think anime peaked in the 2000s and not in the 90s?
>>728509523DBZ peaked in the early 90s therefore it has to be the 90s
>>728509523I cant speak for anyone else but for me yes, 90's stuff is good too but i prefer the 2000's as most of my favorites are from that time.
>>728509797Then you are not being objective.
>>728502951+izzat parry
>>728504654Online play was free and the games that are now on their 6th+ entry were invented during mine. I'm pretty sure I objectively had it better.
>>728502947360 was the console that set up all of the cancer we have still to this day.
>>728504654This, but music fucking sucked in the 90s.
>>728504385Yes.
>>728509852You cant ever be truly objective when it comes to taste of media, but there is a BIG difference between saying "you have a bias" which is obvious, everyone has and as such there is no need to be said and "actually all you like is biased towards your youth/childhood" which is retarded as plenty of kids, teens and adults love vintage stuff that comes from before they were even born.
>>728502605yesthe 7th gen is the worst gen, followed by the 8th or 9th
>>728508776>the nostalgia train for fortnite has already started
the 360 was the begging of the end , i can't remember a good game from that era, they all casualized garbage from older games. Even current day games are better, and current day games are dogshit.
>>728510005This. The era before it (xbox/ps2/saturn) was the best era of gaming. There were so many fucking tom clancy titles for Xbox it was unreal. Only thing missing from my Xbox collection is the 360 version of TDU , but that's about it, it's got everything else. Luckily that game is also available for PC so it's not a big deal
>>728502947The handhelds were great. The consoles were okay, but a step down in intrigue from the previous handful of gens. Everything after 7th has tried really hard to make 7th look better than it actually was.
>>728510739TDU was one of few good games for 360. I remember going to a kid's place who's 2 years younger than me, he had a x360 and some demo version of TDU, and he said>This game isn't that goodI later learned that was the red flag that this guy was not a true gamer. He got to play same BF games and Swat 4 as I did, but this guy... he said one of the best racing games for PC... isn't good? Clearly some brain defect going on
>>728502947It's funny that people at the time thought the Wii was the worst with its wagglan gimmick, but it was a hell of a lot less cancerous than the other two consoles.
>>728509270did your country's senses and practices of travel get affected?
>>728506785You do know zoomers were the squeakers on 7th gen consoles, right? You do know Roblox started in the mid 2000s, right?
>>728502826As opposed to now?
>>728504385Is this pedobear?
>>728511482Honestly, it's strange Reddit is still the go to boogeyman when /v/ has been infested with a much worse cancer now in Twitter.
>>728502826I came to 4chan from Funnyjunk in 2011. Half the highest voted pictures were just epic screencaps so I decided to go right to the source.>forever a newfag
>>728511419I don't see a single 360/Ps3 game in the picture doe. Kotor released for the xbox, they hate remedy, Laracroft , mega man, diablo, all of the games in the picture are millennial culture, even Leon is an old man now (like us).>roblox release dateDoesn't mater, it's alpha territory. Games cater to old men and alphas, not zoomers. They are a failed generation.
>>728511228The problem with wii is that both nintendo and the westerners kinda slept over the whole motion control gimmick. They made lame games for it, they didn't make enough of "hardcore games" to take advantage of it. The only games I feel really took advantage of the motion aiming, was Prime 3, and the on-rails Resident Evil shooter(s). For shooting games (be it first person, or 3rd person, as splatoon showed) the motion controls are best way to play shooters. Maybe the was problem with the precision of the default motion censor, maybe some accessories could've fixed that.. I recall either Wii or Wii U remotes having some extra accessory added that might've improved them or something? But basically the concept was real, it's the best way to play FPS or 3rd person shooters, you just gotta implement it well (have tech that's not 0.50$ from aliexpress, like invest more money into it Nintendo, like sony did with PS Move) and the developers not "half arsing" it. This is a problem of "egg and chicken", because neither the devs nor the hardware maker wants to be the "first" to invest (this egg and chicken dilemma I've heard mentioned in other gaming related problems, probably related to dev kits or something, so I think it's perfectly applicable to this as well). But yeah it definitely needed more "real gamer" games taking advantage of the motion control scheme, and less normie/gimmicky games (games like Twilight princess probably better on regular gamepad, even if the bow aiming might be better with motion control). Motion aiming >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gyro aiming
>>728511749>forever a newfagcorrect
>>728510739There was a few gems, but the overall quality of gaming swan dived off a cliff.
>>728502605Kids born in 2002 basically grew up with Halo 3 rather than Halo 2 and think 3 is the best in the series.I remember the 6, 7, and 8 year olds playing over XBL and I still despise their parents.
>>728506507
>>728502951Powerful
>>728511763I also have to add, that playing RE4 on motion controller was kino. Was it cheap to be able to headshot all of the zombies? Maybe, but it was fun.
>>728511763yeah>point and click (game mecnahinc, not genre)>Mario Kart-ripoff steering wheel>shake up and down, or with nunchuck shake back and forthEvery game all used these same gimmicks. Warioware Smooth Moves both used all the staples and also really illuminated the degrees of things you could do with the motion and IR sensor controls. Granted, looking back on these, it seems what were revolutionary ideas then have been used by everyone now.
>>7285028262010 was alright. 2011 on the other hand was one of /v/'s worst years. Nothing but an endless flood >tfw no gf, >implying, and tumblr style snowflake mentality.
>>728504547I grew up on fucking lycos.com and angelfire. We called them image macros.
>>728510671Kill me, Pete
>>728502826>>728512552No matter how "bad" any of us thought 2010-2015 /v/ was, or even 2016-2019 /v/ for that matter, not a single one of those years was anywhere near as bad as the 2020s years where zoomoids and literal unironic third world povertyposters dominate.>t. came to /v/ in 2010 cause i was looking for info on an EU3 mod
>>728512961True.Some newniggers at least made an attempt to fit into site culture.
>>728511763It was a gold mine for fun japanese games
>>728512961even with all the annoying twitterfags, endless hordes of mobileniggers and dwindling quality of 2020+, 2017~2018 will still in my heart remain as the worst period of /v/it was so bad that even I, a retard addicted to staring at the catalog for 16 hours a day, decided to take a break for 5 years from this shithole
>>728502951You know what? This is unironically better than elder scrolls and fallout. The bar for discussion on /v/ is so low.
i was born 2002 and felt like I got to play a lot of great games but some of the best games I think I would've been more able to enjoy if I was born 98-00 or so. I think those guys had it best
>>728502826Its 99% reditors nowI hate this siteAnd Anyone else noticed that the moderation on this shit board got 1000 times worse since the last 2 weeks or so?
>>728517820My parents just gave me shit that they grew up with like DVDs and hand-me downs like 6th gen consoles, while they were great things growing up as I got older it just made me feel like my whole life was a lie. Like Damn shit that I loved as a kid like Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends ended before I even turned 7? I know I should be grateful that I was even raised on it but knowing that I missed out on the hype makes me so fucking depressed.
>>728511763Motion controls was just dogshit all over. Noone wants to have to stand up and do jumping jacks and shit while gaming. Noone wants to point to select their menus and shit that can be done with a simple flick and button press. Wagglin' was great to sucker normies into the console which caused it to be Nintendos biggest success ever at the time, but it sucked for actual gaming.
>>728518227>fostersI'm 02 and I watched that though? must have just been re-runs ig. parents passing down shit is based though. my dad had me when he was 22 and was stupid to let me always play the games he played or watch what he watched even when I was a toddler lmao so my best childhood memories are of gow 1 and 2 on ps2, jak and daxter, the first two assassin's creed games, red dead, gta IV, cod4 and the golden age of cod (never could play online until we leeched wifi from our neighbors in 09). then before we got too old we had shit like minecraft and skyrim. maybe not objectively the best era to grow up but its a lot fucking better than what kids are doing now.
>>728518973What you're describing are the gimmicks, things they should've focussed less on, and more on implementing core/hardcore gaming experiences with the superior control scheme that was (when well implemented) motion controls. If you have Wii, I recommend trying Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. I haven't got The Darkside Chronicles so I don't know if that one is good, but the first game is insanely good on-rails shooter
>>728511597gamingcirclejerk is the main raiding party for this board and they are several times worse than anything on twitter
>>728502947me too, anon. this gen was pure kino. millenials are delusional
>>728502947Legitimately the best gen
>>728514739I took a 10 year break from this shithole and recently came back but I don't know why. /v/ has been shit for ages but in different ways. Nowadays 95% of the stuff posted here is just thinly veiled gooner threads with the words "video games" somewhere in the OP to skirt the lax moderation. Its been bad in the past but current /v/ is the worst it has ever been.
>>728517820I mean this can probably keep changing. I'm from '93 and think that I'd enjoy 6th gen at its (fairly short) time far more if I was a bit older, given its vast libraries of bangers. On the flopside, internet wouldn't actually be component where I was for a good while yet and got to enjoy 5th gen plenty.>>728511763The Wii Remotes would get 'Wii Motion Plus' as an addon at the bottom before it got built into later-produced versions. Supposedly MP3 had higher sensitivity in pre-release versions, but it got toned down for some reason and yet everyone eventually cranks it up to high sensitivity anyway. Came close to actually enjoying a similar control scheme in MP4 but my Joycons were plagued with latency issues when playing with it, and ironically the Switch 2 version just has mouse controls anyway.Gyro lives on otherwise as diet wagglan to some extent and fine-tuning aim on controllers, yet Microsoft doesn't seem to be too trusting of it and they're the fuckers in charge of XInput and popular gamepads, would be a bottleneck were it not for Valve.
>>728519531*competentStill experienced things like Newgrounds on a 56k modem, I suppose.
If you're Gen-X then you lived through the golden age of gaming. If you're not then you missed it.
>>7285028262010 is practically when reddit really started, it was a bunch of people migrating from digg
>>728502947holy zoom
>>728502826It did
It all started because of the ponies
>>728502826I still can't get over this, and now they call me a newfag for not being obsessed with /vpol/ retardation. I miss when /v/ actually got excited for games and didn't chase conspiracy theories that all end with DEI.
>>728502605Why wouldn't I be. I had all the old games, plus all the games from the 6th and 7th gen.
>>728514739I feel like it hasn't changed at all since then and in fact it's only gotten worse because the old users left. Every other post is about "ur brown" or some schizo seething about trannies. I would rather have WHIRRposting back at this point at least that was such a blatant shitpost it was funny.My hard drive crashed in early 2016 and it was the worst fucking time because that's when the /r/The_Donald invasion happened and I was never able to build my 4chan images folder back up to its former glory, even though its been longer between 2016 and now then it was between when I started using 4chan in 2009 and 2016.
>>728504654I think music peaked 30 years before I was born as did movies. Games peaked around when I was growing up though.
>>728502951cringe but i'd take cringe any day over what modern gaming has become
>>728519531Yeah it's sad that so many controllers have those back paddle stuff, but it's all being limited by xinput because you cannot bind them to "new keybinds", apparently Dinput would allow you to bind to whatever so they become "new keys to be used", but microshittare is shitting the bed and artificially keeping stuff xinput only
>>728520175every time someone posts that timeline i always laugh at the "new troll face". i started browsing around that time and took that shit seriously until I realized it was a troll
>>728519975The excitement for games stopped being a thing eversince Anita Sakeersian and her crones took over the industry, west and east alike. It was the singularity that damaged gaming hobby forever because it caused vidya to become a super mainstream thing that almost everyone wants to be a part of.
>>728510005Microsoft fucked it up for everyone else.
>>728521413idk what you mean anon I still feel excitement for games.its been like 15 years and we've had a ton of amazing games come out since Gamergate, many of them games this board hated because they were "too woke" just for containing a black person.

>>728520175You shouldn't forget that alot of current 4chan chaos can be traced back to the proto Sharty aka QA faggots. They unironically claim themselves to be teenager/young adult and occasionally sperging out on several websites by spamming snuff films and child porn. How did 4chan even get this army of mentally stunted faggots remain a mystery.
>>728521961based

>>728521716I remember there being a lot of off-topic threads on /v/ around the early 2010s, like "plus tip" and "BOOM BOOM CRASH".

>>728521487>many of them games this board hated because they were "too woke" just for containing a black person.The Kangs had a good run from the 80s to early 2000s. The current hatred for them was caused by themselves.

>>728522526To be fair he said good games anon. None you listed were actually good
>>728502605No, we literally did. 2001 here and we grew up at the perfect time where our parents probably had a PS2 but we also got the Wii/DS/GBA/PSP and to a lesser extent the 360 and PS3. Some very good games there.
>>728522662It is concerning how low the standard has gone to. Stuff like Fable was considered to be slop back at the day, yet most of modern games barely get to that level of gameplay.
>>728522830Fable was kino if you had an Xbox. PC prudes don't know kino they were already getting stupid

>>728523009To be fair, back then the RPG landscape was fill with kino so Fable seem pale in comparison.
>>7285026052001 to around 2011 was the golden age of gaming. 2012 was the beginning of the end, the world truly changed like the prophecy stated. Zoomers don't even know about the 2012 prophecy that we were all shitting bricks over.
>>728523686>Zoomers don't even know about the 2012 prophecy that we were all shitting bricks over.I still remember /v/ having a sticky with this music playing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5xQnN53VI8
>>728523686>Zoomers don't even know about the 2012 prophecy that we were all shitting bricks over.I'm a zoomer and i can confirm that most of us were laughing the shit out of the 2012 apocalypse during the 2011. No one actually believed that crap, Holywood even made a movie based on that ridiculous idea.
>>728523686>2001 to around 2011 was the golden age of gamingWrong, 1994-2004 is more accurate
>>728503616Retard
>>728502947I fucking hate zoomers so much.
>>728511753unc is coping hard fr
how lucky we were that the Golden Age™ of games/films/movies or culture in general happened when we were all collectively 12-18 years old?what were the chances huh
>>7285029477th gen is retro and DS/psp were the best(I was born in 1993)
>>728511753>Games cater to old men and alphas, not zoomers. They are a failed generation.Lol. Lmao even. Most of you millennial faggots have become politic streamers and youtubers. You people don't actually love games and willing to let legitimately talented studio back then to go bankrupt. It is the zoomzoom that has strange obsession with retro games and most grew up before the enshittification of the industry in the late 2010s.
>>728524261>7th gen is retrono it's not
I remember back in 2010 on /v/ deus ex human revolution leaked months before release. Everyone thought the game would be shit but it was amazing instead.I think the leak caused the game to become a /v/ darling and to this day that is still the best era and moment of /v/ to me. There were console wars but the website wasn't for weird social reject losers. Instead it was for introverted, yet intelligent and promising nerds to discuss their hobbies.Most threads were genuine without a layer of irony. Lots of effort posting. And while the website always had contrarianism, fake elitism and trolling it was not the majority of posts. And this stupid sense of detachment and "I don't care about anything, see how ironic I am" wasn't universal yet.Sseth (hey hey people) the youtuber is the epitome of all that is wrong with modern /v/ and that type of mindset started pretty quickly to the point where most posters don't even remember a pre-irony genuine /v/.Of course Tortanic and wanting every game to fail or the culture war with gamergate really didn't help. But the seed of distraction was already sown with constant disingenuous posts, posters and this stupid "I'm too cool to care, I'm so enlightened and beyond any of this, I never take anything serious" Sseth bullshit mindset is what genuinely killed the website.I never changed. All my posts in my 20 years of being on 4chan has always been genuine and reflective of my actual beliefs and stances. I like how people actually appreciate it and tend to effort post back at me. But yeah the original spirit of /v/ was truly special.
>>728510019Go fuck yourself. Grunge and Alt-rock era was best era.
>>728502605They were small children at the very tail end of it. A lot of them got to experience their older brother or dads games so a lot of them have some great gaming experience. There were of course the dregs whose first generation was the Wii, 360, and ps3, and they might even be the overwhelming majority of faggots with no taste. The golden age didn't end until the PS2 sold over 50million units. Then gaming became normie territory, Microsoft went anti consumer mode, Nintendo tucked their tail and ran to the casual market out of shame because their media format control finally kicked them in the teeth (rightfully so). Anyone saying otherwise is spewing revisionist history, or paid marketing agency damage control.t.40yoboomer. Thanks sony you wigger catering brand. You shoulda stayed the cool brand like ps1's days.
>>728524158I was 12 in 2015 and it was one of the most miserable time periods in my life. You don't know how good you had it, you old FUCK.
>>728524158Games absolutely was from about 1993 - 2007 but it had to do with technological boom of hardware, introduction of the internet and low hanging fruit of new ideas that hadn't been picked yet.Film peak was in the 1970s. 1990s in particular is very bad. Just watch back things like Buffy.Culture peaked in the 1950s. It's only games that peaked in those years.
>>728524420Deus Ex Human Revolution was shit
>>728524632This. This guy is an honorary millenial in my book
>>728524158Real gamer's videogames were not a thing until the late 90s. This is why most of gamers are the early zoomers and late millennials who born in the 1990 - 1996 period, essentially the proto zoomer generation. The market was booming with high quality products and the kids were grown enough to use the pc/console.
>>728502605Kids probably have it worse when it comes to vidya nowadays>peer-pressured into trying out only a few multiplayer videogames and FOTMs rather than playing a diverse array of videogames>the goyslop competitive multiplayer games give them drug-like rushes and they feel worse if they play anything else
>>728524839We could've had Freelancer 2. It almost happened
>>728524632>I was 12 in 2015Nothing against you. But this made me fill with rage. Being confronted with your own aging and mortality really sucks. You're 22 now and probably a proper adult. But to give you some indication I started posting on 4chan when I was 12 and I'm in my 30s now. Most of the opinions I see about "old games" feel like people talking about games that released relatively recently. For example Witcher 3 to me feels like a game released just a couple of months ago but to you it might be a childhood classic. I was in college when Skyrim came out and it still feels "new". I remember getting Pokémon blue (probably some ancient game to you) on launch.There's just no way we have overlapping the tastes in games or any similar frame of reference at all to what is good or bad.
>>728524839Dont lump me in with those broccoli hairs
>>728524693>Film peak was in the 1970s.name 5 good movies from this decade aside from onions wars and alien
>>728524420>Sseth (hey hey people) the youtuber is the epitome of all that is wrong with modern /v/ and that type of mindset started pretty quickly to the point where most posters don't even remember a pre-irony genuine /v/.What alternative universe are you living at? 4chan as whole was never that serious or genuine. Most of archives i read during 2008 were literall pissing contest with almost every anon tried to anger each other with probably 1 or 2 people actually being genuine.
>>728525045nta but you did mention skyrim and w3, and those are both bad. I'm glad we're on the same page
>>728524839This is some bullshit. Most 1980s people that are gamers grew up on Commodore 64 or Amiga systems. Arcades were in full swing and the early good home consoles were already out (Nes, Snes, Genesys/Megadrive) it's just because you were born in 1990 - 1996 that you classify this period as such.
>>728512961Fuck off back to /pol/
>>728525045>. For example Witcher 3 to me feels like a game released just a couple of months agois it a westoid trait? No one from my cultural circle has this severe case of time passing by at 100x when you hit 30. I am 31 and I consider covid to had happen a decade ago or something, 2010 is beyond ancient to mehow the fuck can you think of the times half way your age back and say to yourself how recent they feel
>>728525076>The 1996 people are totally different than the 1997 people i swear!
>>728525164>it's just because you were born in 1990 - 1996 that you classify this period as such.No that's not true, that 1991-2007 had best games. Most of those arcades didn't have good games, I know it's a shocker, not all of them were good. The n64 games in my library? All good, not because of nostalgia, but objective metric.
>>728524907There is Freelancer 2. It is Sca...Star Citizen.
>>728525045>For example Witcher 3 to me feels like a game released just a couple of months agoIt is weird how 2015 doesn't feel like that long ago, but it actually was a decade ago.
>>728525164Oh yeah you 1980 oldmen were playing E.T, Tetris and some fucking pay per hour arcade trash games with a total 5 pixels on screen. Riveting stuff.
>>728525285It's because there hasn't been any games worth talking about, and that's a bad thing when considering that Witcher 3 isn't even a good game, it's normie slop
>>728525246Arcade was such a dogshit gaming system, i have no idea why early millennials even call that trash gaming.
>>728525379Even best version of Metal Slug is the Metal Slug Anthology
>>728525328I tried to play Witcher 3 and the 1 hour horse riding between each quest made me want to kill myself. Decided to play Diablo 2 instead.
>>728525519It is a better game by default when you don't have to pay the arcade owner every hour.
People shitting on arcades clearly have not experienced the golden age of it. It felt similar in feeling to what you felt when we went from Snes to N64. Or (to a lesser extent) ps1 to ps2 if you're a younger person.The insane leaps of technology and gameplay innovation you saw during the golden age of arcades was insane. You would go there and every other week there was a new cabinet that had completely new technology, gameplay mechanics and entire genres you never saw before. Imagine if you could go to some place now and you paid like $2 to play a completely new genre with technology you didn't even think was possible and gameplay concepts you never seem before EVERY WEEK for like a decade. You just don't know what you guys missed. Like I said the only experience similar for late millennials was the 2d to 3d transition but done weekly.
>>728525764>People shitting on arcades clearly have not experienced the golden age of it. Nog, arcade was what wrong with early gaming. Greedy people tried to suck you dry but you were too young to aware of it. Same with internet cafe, sure i have nostalgia for it but no way in hell it was a good thing.
>>7285252462009 still had some heat in it. Plants vs Zombies, Prototype, Dragon Age Origins, Left 4 Dead 2. After that year, yeah, gaming is dead.
I feel like the mid-late 2000s were the peak of gaming, right at the peak of tech before it started to be used for microtransactions, cool online shit like wow and mw2, ps2/xbox to ps3/360 was still a leap, they were still making good single player games
>>728522661They are already posting here anon don't fool yourself.I was already posting on imageboards when I was like 13. In the 00's. Sorta depressing to think about to be honest.
>>728527273You're right, but it's still going to make me feel old when people will be able to post "I was born in 2010" and not get banned for it.
2009 was the last year of decent vidya.
>>728502951More like the poopen age.
>>728524321it's 20+ years oldWe are old
>>728527901NTA but most of people can't get over the fact that things made in the 2000s can be considered to be old after a certain period of time. Retro = Pre 2000s has become the definition for too long, no one seem to want to update it.
>>728502605What if I'm born in 2000 doe?
>>728519478the occasional half decent threads are the only thing drawing me back to this hellhole. emphasis on occasional; shit like resident thread schizos, general culture war bullshit and/or porn addicts infect threads for plenty of series' that i have actual interest in
>>728504654But videogames actually did peak when I was younger. You can just compare the quantity of non-indie vidya releases and it's night and day. More games would release in a year than we get in half a decade now. And it's not as if the quality was worse.
>>728504654it's either this or "born in the wrong generation." nobody ever says the media that was made when they were 50 was the best.
The protoform of /pol/ bullshit were the moralfag debates and Akagiposting. I thought the anti-moralfags were literal retards back then and I still think /pol/fags belong face down in a ditch.
>>728502826You remember correctly. 2010-2013 were when 4chan went terminal. Then it died in 2014 but to be fair that happened to the entire internet in 2014.I feel genuinely bad for younger zoomers that missed out experiencing the internet before it was ruined forever.
>>7285029477th gen was the golden age for handhelds. It was also the gen where home consoles contracted HIV.
>>728528738>thread schizos, general culture war bullshit and/or porn addicts infect threads for plenty of series' that i have actual interest inYou sort of made sense before it devolved back to bitching about smut. What a bitch.
>>728502947It's profoundly sad that you believe this.
>>728502951>indian tiktoks made into a video gameHOLY KINO
>>728504654At least every generation can agree that music peaked in the 70s/80s, right?
>>728528738>Crying about pornCan't imagine being a christcuck.
>>728512961>>728514739its genuinely insane how shit and off-topic /v/ isbeen browsing this shithole since 08 and was mostly just a lurker back then, but 90% of the threads were interesting in some way, nowadays 99% of threads are fucking shit, you have multiple threads discussing the same thing, like recently E33 awards, i saw 5-6+ different threads talking about it, ragebait, twitter screencaps, v-pol, etcthe only time /v/ is even remotely fun nowdays is during some events
>>728529974The 90s are the MGS4 of music.
>>728519975At my core I hate DEI, it's not Russian manipulation or whatever you think causes it. Gay men disgust me, and I find black women to be ugly. After a stressful day at work (something I suspect you're not familiar with) to want to relax and not be exposed to things like that.
>>728502605The golden age of gaming was ISP run multiplayer services which completely and entirely removes console fags from the equation with their gay P2P horseshit.If we are talking singelplayer then yeah 360 fags are fucking delusional.
Unless you're legitimately retarded, the golden age of any art form is always the current day. If you want to play an old game you can just go fucking play it right now and it's never been cheaper or easier to emulate.>B-b-but my stupid pos live service mmo trash isn't as good-Live service is an abomination. It belongs in the trash.
>>728530004Yeah, these days /v/ is full of Twitter drama that I don't care about, so I just don't browse here as much as I used to.
>>728530487i understand that the gaming industry has gone to shit and that is being reflected here as well, but so many e-celeb, pol and other off topic garbage is just roaming free
>>728512685>image '''macro'''>320x480p>128kb file sizecheckmate, oldfags
>>728531653I don't get it
>>728530345>you want to play an old game you can just go fucking play it right now and it's never been cheaper or easier to emulate.You can have affordable medicine and food during a literall world war, that does not mean it is a golden age. An era is defined by what happens in it, not what came and ended before it.
