>games that released around 2007-2011 are all considered shit>youtuber meta around that time period was being a cynical assholeI'm starting to think these two things are connected...
I stopped caring about the opinions of Millennials when I played Resident Evil 4 (2005) for myself and found that Ashley was actually a great escort mission when all the memes from that era called it shit.They had good games for sure, but they clearly didn't deserve them.
>>749741741Including Fallout 3 with all that dogshit is a heinous insult. Fallout 3 was excellent.
>>749741741>ryseGood exclusive for box at the time. Games like that are lost technology>DS2best game in the series, save for bugs>RE6Too much of an action>sanecDidn't play>1886Cool aesthetic, shit game>F3Dave's republic, rivet city, subway and HELLO SONIt's better than F4, because at least some parts of it are fun to explore>ff13Meh>SCCMeh>CoDI have stopped telling them apart after first MW2. What this one was about?>looking caninesWHERE'S THE FUCKING CAPE ANIMATIONS HUH>DA2Unfinished game that has raped the good parts of the first one>UnityReplayed it last year and it was shit, actually - half of the game's content is tied to the multiplyer missions which take too long to beat and for which you need at least 3 other people.
>>749742080>muh millennial boogyman
>>749742140>Good exclusive for box at the timeThe gameplay was utter fucking shit, piss off.
>>749742157As opposed to your zoomer boogeyman?
Sonic Unleashed was good though?
>>749741741Dragon Age 2 is an unfinished game that reuses the same maps for everything and people still loved that game enough to argue about the story. At least compared to DA3.I only remember that 1886 exists because you brought it up.
>>749742157You retards genuinely say 25 year olds "ruined videogames"
>>749742191That's the only one that stuck in my head - I legit can't name a single other exclusive for it that I have heard about from my classmates IRL at the time. Yes, it's repetetive gears of war clone in a fantasy version of Rome, yes the plot is stupid and rips off half a dozen of different movies
>>749742223i remember at some point sega was scrubbing their online storefront of all games they considered bad and unleashed was one of them, it was the next big game after 06 so sega was a punching bag at that point I don't any game they released could've been considered good
>>749742140Pretentous fag who dosent play games award
Is Conviction at least good as a Bourne type action thriller? I'm kinda in the mood for something like it and was considering either Absolution or Conviction. Pirated of course.
It had the best combat in the series>better than 3?yes.
>>749741741Conviction was kino though also the redhead girl in that game had fat jiggling boobies (no seriously they were jiggling the entire time)
>>749741741>FFXIIIHe's right and you're wrong and mad
shitlennial cope thread
RE 6 is comfy as fuck
>>749741741you can't blame those retards for attempting to form their identity
>>749742534XIII and its sequels had the best combat in the entire series and I will die on that hill
>>749741741Watch Dogs 1 is alright, but it's open world doesn't work, honestly, it doesn't need itUnity is shit, no optimisation will fix it's awful 1 button parkour, magnetic jumps and shitty visuals, draw distance is particulary bad in this gameFallout 3 is dogshit, this game has grim aesthetics, map designers worked great, then Todd went in greenlit Little-Lamplight, superhero quests, vampires, etc. Toddout 3 is unsalvagable
>>749742454DmC is better than this gamefuck I wish we got DmC 2 instead of V
DSII is a great game
>>749741741there are now 30 year old "millennials" fighting with 28 year old "zoomers" about whose games are more shitlmao
>>749742223>>749742380this + millennials at the time kept insisting sonic colours was the best thing ever which led the franchise into the rut its in today
>>749742603Y’know there was a time where I would have said that I appreciate how RE6 gives me the freedom to experiment with its controls and use my knowledge of previous RE games to come up with cool melee combos and combinations. But seeing how many people came into the game, playing it completely wrong, wiping their asses with the melee system and just playing it like a shooting gallery, I think it could have done with a tutorial that emphasizes the melee combat and gunfu aspects.
Ryse was good. Not great but pretty good
>>749742140>Games like that are lost technologyExplain? I loved the game and had hoped for a sequel, but what's done in that game that hasn't been done in modern games?
>>7497427965 IS DmC2
>>749743356Singleplayer AAA exclusive games which are mindless corridor third person action>inb4 but gears e-gayIsn't a frontline box game that is marketed as YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS COOL SHIT IN OUR GAME ON OUR CONSOLE
7th gen is the beginning of the decline of gaming but the console wars and shitposting of that era is too ingrained in /v/ for people to admit it.
>>749742140>I have stopped telling them apart after first MW2. What this one was about?Latin America unifies into a fascistic expansionist empire. You come from a military family, everyone enlists, even the family dog. And there's a defector leading the enemy special ops forces who has a very personal grudge against your father.It's honestly not bad, I don't know why it's considered the least of the CoD games after Vanguard.
>>749742223>>749742380>>749742850every 3D slopnic game is absolute abysmal dogshit
>>749741741looking at pic, yup, they all sucked assat the very minimum, they are all mid, you just can't go past that
>>749743797Ok.
>>749743458You know, that's a good point, they still make corridor FPSes (though less corridory every year) and it's one of the biggest games, but they don't seem to make corridor third person games.
>>7497435106th gen was the beginning of the decline of gaming, but the console wars and shitposting of that era is too ingrained in 2chan and its derivatives for people to admit it.
Im tired of hiding the fact that I love ff13 and its sequels.
>>749743894enjoying slopnic 3D dogshit is not ok
>>749741741Ryse is boring as fuck, I couldn't play more than an hourDS2 is the 2nd worst game Fromshit has madeRE6 lolmaoThe Order was so fucking bad it was planned as a trilogy before even releasing with a cliffhanger ending and the other two entries got cancelledConviction is not an Splinter CellGhosts story was fucking incredible but the multiplayer was absolute fucking dogshitXIII had dogshit characters and a boring fucking storyWatch Dogs got fucked by the, admissible, colossal downgrade, the game is actually very goodDragon Age 2 is the 2nd worst DA gameUnity got fucked by the massive amount of bugs and the base game ending being fucking garbage, with the Dead Kings DLC being the actual endingNo one says Fallout 3 is bad, it's just remarkably worse than NVkys normgroid
>>749741741I mean there are objectively some really good early 7th Gen titles
>>749741741all these games are after 2011 you stupid retardgood games came out in 2007 - 2011. Team Fortress 2. Halo 3. Minecraft. Need I even go on?
>>749746176>Tranny Faggots 2>Halolmao
>>749746176
>>749741741Re6 is not mediocre. Most of those are bad, not mediocre.
>>749741741you have to be 18 to post on 4chan kid
>>749741741>CoD ghostsWeird. I mostly see zooms sucking off Black OPs 2 or 3.
>>749741741Anything after 2010 is shit
>>749741741>games that released around 2007-2011 are all considered shitI think you mean 2011-2021
>>749750341I suck off BO3 almost entirely because of zombies, multiplayer is fine, campaign is dogshit, but zombies is where is at, although I’ve never heard anyone ever defending CoD Ghosts even to this day.
>>749742080>>749742157millennials are not reliable narrators so its important zoomers play some of these old games themselves
>>749742080I have never heard anyone call Ashley a bad escort character. In fact she's considered the gold standard on how you do this. People call that shit in MGS2 a bad escort mission.
>>749742332no, the 7th gen ruined video games.Zoomers are just annoying as shit, because they universally think games like Halo 3 and Resident Evil 5 are actually really good.
>>749742080Speaking as a zoomer who was born in 1998, it reminds of when I played Ocarina of Time after hearing all the hype about it, and hearing about how the Water Temple was so hard and confusing. Then I played it and it actually wasn’t that bad. I’m convinced Millennials have deluded themselves into believing memes about their childhood games that simply aren’t true just because they were 7 and bad at the game when they first played it.
>>749751018we are pretending like Halo 3 is bad now?
>>749751149people are actually wrong about the water temple. People think it's hard, because it was hard when they were kids.>>749751242All of Halo is mediocre as fuck.
7th gen was the beginning onf the downfall and I'm tired of zoomers that were 10 at the time claiming otherwise
>>749751470gta3 was the beginning of the end
>>749741741None of those games are peak except Dark Souls 2. Fallout 3 isn't peak but it's decent
>>749751470I was 10 at the time, but while I agree that the 7th gen was the start of the decline, there were also genuinely good games released during that period. It was everyone wanting to copy CoD and capture the CoD audience that lead to most of the junk from that era, and I’d actually say the industry is improving gradually as we’re past that phase.
>>749751242Halo 3 was bad and disappointing, but the multiplayer was peak gaming
I feel like a ton of the discussion in 2011 was dominated by>games are supposed to be realistic>being realistic means being able to go anywhere you want >therefore if your game isn’t open world it’s a failing of game designI remember this being a huge thing with FFXIII specifically
>>749741741>youtuber meta around that time period was being a cynical assholeThat was already a thing before. That started in 2004 with James Rolfe. And arguably even before that with media in general portraying a lot of male heroes as cynical assholes. The ultimate archetype for this is Dirty Harry and then peaked in the 90s, early 2000s. Batman became a much darker, edgy hero, you have Falling down, you have frasier, you have The Sopranos, you have House M.D. That whole era glorified seemingly very intelligent men, who "just don't give a fuck", are edgy, and overly direct to the point of insulting. Being a cynical asshole to someones faces was not seen as being emotionally stunted, but rather that you're just "telling it like it is", and people offended by you "just can't handle the honest truth". No wonder so many of us grew up shitty edgelords.
>>749752703This is the zoomer thing where the presume youtube reflected the zeitgeist, as opposed to just representing youtube though.Lots of people were very enthusiastic about games at the time. They were mostly on Forums. /v/ was enthusiastic about games (shut up. They were). Something good would come out (Arkham Asylum or Dead Space, for example), and you would have round the clock threads of people actually playing and discussing the game. That pretty much stopped as a thing after like MGSV, because games just got so uninteresting and lame at that point.
>>749741741Halo Reach mysteriously missing ...
>>749753805Oh I'm not saying nobody was enthusiastic about games. I'm just saying that the "being a cynical asshole" was in the zeitgeist. That doesn't mean you didn't like any games at all. It just means that a lot of us millenials grew up with this "being kind of an asshole means you're cool" mentality, knowing or unknowingly. And sadly some people never grew out of it. Even all the AVGN copy-cats had episodes of games they really fucking liked. TotalBiscuit as "TheCynicalBrit" had games he hyped up like crazy. It's just that the overall popular male persona was: "kind of an asshole douchebag".
2011 was the year that invented video games. Modern games are just rehashes of genres perfected by 2011
>>749755793>1998 3 games worth playing>2007 1 game worth playing>2011 1 game worth playing>2015 1 game worth playing
>>749751242I imagine if you were a big fat loser with no friends there's not much enjoyment to be had. That said, someone performatively hating Halo always immediately outs them as a newfag poser.
>>749741741>>749742080Holy retard.Life must be hard when your brain mangles everything into simplified form.
>>749756036I was playing shooters on PC like an adult, by that point.
>>749741741I stopped giving a shit about what the media thought after I saw the entire game industry suck of BioWare for that half baked dragon age 2 game. But the real final straw was Ubisoft release bullshot trailers for Watch_dogs. Journos were just like, "whaddu talking aboot?". Fuck em, they're all dorks, and AAA devs have been listening to the words of dorks for the better part of 15 years. Look where that got em. Layoffs.
>>749741741Ryse is a worse Spartan: Total Warrior, which is regarded as a mediocre God Of War derivative.
>>749742223facts>>749742437Conviction is awesome>>749741741Splinter Cell Conviction is gas along with Fallout 3 and Sonic
>>749756970Fallout 3 is ass. Hbomberguy solved this years ago.
>>749754082I think something alot of people, including AVGN copy-cars don’t understand about the AVGN is that James is playing a character. He’s a pretty chill guy with a very laidback opinion on most games, and a lot of AVGN episodes are covering truly broken pieces of shit from the 80’s and 90’s from before the industry had any real quality control standards. Doing a comedic over the top rant about a broken cash grab LJN game is completely differently to genuinely saying that a game you don’t like is the spawn of Satan.
>>749741741>fun games aren't fun because uhhhhh zooomers and uuuhhhhhh.....fuck off nigger
>>749750916I remember it and that was back when it released. Played it myself and it was fine. Now, complaints about Sheva's AI in 5 were actually deserved.
>>749741741All mediocre but Ghost is genuinely buggy trash. Going from MW3 and BO2 to fish ai meme is one of the main reasons why Battlefield got big in the 2010s.
>>749757402I mean that's the issue right? Like I said,"it was the Zeitgeist" this archetype was everywhere in media. Did people on some level realize it was a character? Sure. But they still thought it was "cool" they still aspired to it, even if they shouldn't. It's ye olde "You shouldn't want to be tyler durden" problem.
>>749741741Dark souls 2 and sonic unleashed re good games
>>749757892Dan Olson did a pretty good video on Ghosts last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKPM7cZORTEI think it's actually worth watching, but of course on 4chan, telling people a breadtuber is worth watching is gonna be a hard sell.
>Play Build Engine games>Try 2007 - 2013 games>They are midI was playing Bulletstorm after Duke Nouk. I won't say it is not entertaining, but most of these games are on rails.It is the difference between enjoying a museum on your own and being dragged as part of a tour.Having the liberty to move around and explore adds a lot more to the experience, in the other scenario I am dragged around the next encounter but I am more lenient towards this era than to the games that followed.You might be handicapped if you honestly enjoy elden ring.
>>749758426>Having the liberty to move around and explore adds a lot more to the experience,I dislike Elden Ring but isn't that the whole appeal of the game
>>749758641Open world is the polar opposite of the on-rails experience but it is just as terrible.Build Engine games are like exploring a museum, it is very deliberate experience.On rails games are like guided yours, you are hurried through out the experience.Open world games like elden ring and ubislop are more like a mother forgetting their child at the mall.
>>749744163You're not wrong. Who knows where gaming would be right now had Sega not died and Microsoft risen in its place and everything that came from their success in the 7th gen.
>>749758165Gotta love his TDS at the end using an AI generated image of a crying beaner while saying 'we're all living in the consequences' of American nationalism. It's especially funny considering that he's Canadian
>>749742157says the guy who in every thread whenever anyone remotely criticizes his taste has his brain taken over by zoomer derangement syndrome and cries "AHH ZOOM ZOOMS AHHH ZOOMERS WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN MEE NOOOOOOO THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EXIST"
>>749760104TDS?
>>749750723No zoomers are going to do this. Most they will do is put a forty year old millennial steamer on a second screen who plays it while they browse their phone.
>>749741741>call of duty ghostsSo it took 13 years.I can't even imagine the scene where he takes the mask off without laughing.
>>749744657>*most normalfag consensus opinion ever*>kys normgroid
>>749741741I distinctly remember COD Ghosts being the first big AAA game that was clearly unoptimized and had a massive file size for no reason and everyone justly shit on it for that, nowadays everyone just meekly accepts games that are pushing 200GBs.
>>749741741More than half of the games in that pic were released after 2011
>>749760274Zoomers, like all consumers, had a small part in the downfall of gaming, but it's minuscule compared to the sins of the millennial and Xer gamers. You guys were just kids at the time and didn't know you were being fed slop, millennials and Xers were old enough to know better yet kept clamoring for it. Not to mention the seemingly coordinated takeover of culture by a strange sect of virtue signaling faggots that was happening at the time
