Is it just me, or have the 10s so far been a new Golden Age for vidya?
Its like being in the 90s again - except 3D stuff doesn't look like shit nine out of ten times, and handheld gaming devices are great.
>pic related, my Top 10 games for each of the past few years
Its actually impressive how you can chart your taste getting worse with each passing year
are you serious
>>322818345
>2011-13 were glorious
>14 is suddenly total shit
What went wrong?
>>322819123
Why wouldn't I be? I genuinely think the past five years have been fantastic all around.
>>322819173
2014 was still really good, though yeah, I'll admit it wasn't as good as the three preceding years.
And I think the (relative) downturn was mostly due to the new generation meaning way fewer good exclusives came out for either MS or Sony's home consoles compared to previous years.
>>322818345
>Dragon's Dogma on 360
For what purpose?
>>322819173
>What went wrong?
you didn't have a wii u
>>322819173
You didn't have a Wii U or handheld systems, apparently
Was Rune Factory 4 really that good?
>>322818345
>that 2015 list
Not bad. Much better than the typical shit which most people seem to latch on here.
>2013
>2012
These years are beyond redemption along with 2007. I can't think of ten games from these years I would consider actually good.
>>322820530
If you want a super-comfy Harvest Moon/Animal Crossing-like game with more RPG elements it is literally a damn near perfect game.
I spent like 200 hours on it over the past two years, just throwing it on for an hour or two every few days to get shit done. Its super relaxing and fun.
>>322820673
2013 was a great year for 3ds and vita
>>322820673
I'm guessing you're not a fan of handhelds, right?I agree with you on 2007 though, its possibly the most overrated year in vidya ever. I seriously only liked about six games that year.
>>322820831
I didn't get my 3ds until 2014
>SMT
>MH
>AC
>All the other stuff from the OP
But I can get that
>>322820065
Trades a less active online for somewhat better frame rate.
>soul hackers instead of IV
Good taste
>that awful 2014
I can atleast forgive Soul Sacrifice for being a new take on the Monster Hunter ripoff.
>>322821992
There is literally nothing wrong with SMT4, and while i didnt have the hype as fuck boss fights from soul hackers, all the non boss related stuff sans dungeons was better
>>322822141
found another non-Wii U owner
Considering GTA 5 only finished beta testing in 2015, I don't think OP's pic is accurate.
>>322822210
>There is literally nothing wrong with SMT4
Except that's wrong.
>Removing HP cost for phys attacks completely wrecked the balance between them and magic
>Smirk was a fucking gimmick that did nothing in regular gameplay because you would mow through mobs before it could come into play and no boss fights really used it in an interesting way, it just made boss encounters where you had an AI party member into RNG hell because they were fucking retards that would flip a coin on using moves that would give the boss Smirk every turn
>Pretty much every guest demon design was fucking awful looking and clashed horribly with the classic ones
>The story was utter shit even by SMT standards, I mean it literally has the worst Law route in the entire series in terms of the narrative
>The world map was useless and you were required to either have savant-tier memory or use an external guide to get around as a result
>Dungeon design is extremely basic compared to SJ and even III, its very clearly simplified to appeal to a broader audience
Its literal dogshit
>>322818659
Kek
Cities skylines the only good game on his 2015 list
Good list tbqh
2013 > 2012 > 2015 > 2011 > 2014 > 2010
>>322818345
I agree
dustforce, bayonetta, bloodborne, RDR, bayo 2, SMG 2, rayman legends, tropical freeze, are all 9/10 + games. some really great, unique games have come out recently.
>>322826165
>sequels
>unique
tho really yeah they're all fantastic
Fuck off shitmato
>>322818345
I wouldn't go as far as to say the last few years have been a golden age, but I agree things have been on an upswing. The second half of the 2000s was seriously disappointing, except for handhelds and the occasional Nintendo game.
>>322818345
>2014
>literally only sequels
>>322828059
>SSD
>Alien: Isolation
>Dragonfall
>Sequels
>>322828321
Not that anon, but SSD is literally a rerelease with more content. Either you consider it a "sequel" or you count the original 2013 release instead.
>>322828689
Or you count it as an enhanced edition with its own release date like you should?
I mean by that logic MonHun 4U shouldn't be on the 2015 list either.
>>322828059
>devs make a sequel
>FUCKING ASSHOLES MAKE NEW GAMES ALREADY!
>devs make a new game
>FUCKING ASSHOLES WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ATTENTION TO OLD SERIES!?
This is why the vidya industry stopped giving a fuck
