Wow I sure love casualized first person shooters with two weapon limits and slow as fuck movement.
The 7th gen was a steep fucking decline in the quality of videogames and opened the doors for casualfags and dudebros.

Nothing made in the last decade (except last of us) is going to get remade by 2040. Something like 10% of games being released now are either mobile game asset flips or remakes of 1995-2010 games. We just dont get classics anymore. Looking at these wikipedia lists for the post-covid era is just maddening

I remember old /v/ saying 2007 was shit and being start of the downhill of gaming, now its peak!

Old contrarians gone and now we got younger contrarians
>>
>>740248589
The series died more because Horizon 1 made bank more than Shadowfall's reception.
If you go by Metacritic all the Killzone games sit in the high 60s/low 70s.

Good year, but no innovation in that list

>>740248675
It wasn't just gaming, it was 2007 in general.
Which is funny because 80% of the bad shit that came from that year was fine at the moment but enabled everything to actually go to shit between 2010 and 2012

Silksong
Mina the Hollower
There were also tons of great games in between 2007 and 2025.
>>
>>740247882
2017 was also a surprisingly incredible year, especially going by modern standards. Unreal to think it's almost been a decade, I swear it was like two years ago.
Hopefully 2027 keeps up the trend, but... I somehow don't have faith that it will.

NTA but of the game you lsited the only 4 games of any real cultural relevancy you listed that were new and also good are MGSV, Undertale, Bloodborne, and Generations.
In contrast 2007 had going just off the OP
Galaxy, CoD4, Halo 3, God of War 2.TF2, HL2:E2, Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Portal
That's 4 to 10 good games

Silksong unironically had more cultural relevance before it released than after it came out
>>
>>740243172
Silksong
Doom the Dark Ages
Clair Obscur
Kingdom Come 2
Baldur's Gate 3

none of these are GOAT by themselves but they're all about as good as most of the 2007 titles
>>
>>740250552
Silksong is now a retroactive crown jewel of the XBLA Marketplace.

What does wii sports do better than a VR sports game with better tracking, more immersive, better gameplay, more responsive controls

You just think its good cause you played it as a kid with your family or friends

Filtered. Pikmin 2 was the best in the series, caves were peak, and it had the most soul between the letters and the item descriptions

- Final Fantasy Tactics

You could throw the entire thing on the bin besides the listed above and nothing of value would be lost

Yes I did. Counterstrike is a game made by casualniggers who couldn't git gut at unreal or quake.
