Is it true that video games started going downhill in 2007?
>>344115787
You wouldn't know since you weren't even born yet
That's the year of the great casualization of the industry. Call of Duty 4 created the trend of modern military shooters and Portal created the trend of "gamer memes" that got way too out of control
>>344115787
crysis came out in 2007 so no
I would say in 06 but yeah, pretty much.We will never live in the universe where EA didn't jew out Spore
>>344115962
BF2 came out before CoD4
no.
they're still fine. you cherry pick and only remember the good from the past. not all the rubbish shovelware that came out back then. same for movies.
>>344115787
People are pushing back the date all the fucking time.
Just choose the year when you were no longer a kid, that's the year videogames turned to shit.

nobody really believes this, right?
>>344116159
Yeah but CoD was on consoles. It had a fucking huge audience
No. It's 1982.

I'd say 2011

>S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
>Shivering Isles for Oblivion

>>344116167
Nobody is saying there weren't bad games before 2007 you enormous faggot. They're saying that there's no good games after 2007.
The only thing that separates a casual game from a "hardcore" nerd game is how many numbers it has in the game to represent you all the useless stats and shit in it.
That's why you nerds love Dark Souls even though it has shit gameplay. You love it because it has HP bars and a million numbers everywhere to make you feel more secure.
Whereas if Call of Duty had HP bars and stats for everything and numbers all over the screen you'd fucking love it.
Fuck your HP Bars. Fuck your useless numbers. Numbers are for nerdy fags.
>>344119107
That's retarded anon
>>344119290
And yet you can't refute it.
Refute my claim without using "muh logic" because logic is for gay nerds and has no application in real life. If you refute it using logic you have already failed because you will prove yourself a nerd.
>>344120000

Yes, it's true. Right after your childhood ended everything went to shit.

Someone update this.
>>344115787
Only if you play AAA games exclusively.
No
>>344115787
Pretty much even though we got great games that year. It's more because 2007 was a sign of things to come. DLC was literally in it's infancy at this point. Little did people know the horror it would become later on. We also didn't have certain franchises milked to death just yet. Things actually were great in 2007. It's just that in hindsight 2007 should be looked at in a worse light now.

Why would I? You're entitled to your opinion, just like I am mine.
horse armor dlc.
the beginning of the end.
Thank you Todd
>>344115787
Yes. That's when the industry got more consolidated, with only a few big companies controlling all the developers. It's when AA games stopped being a thing and the AAA/indie dichotomy took hold. It's when DLC really became a thing. It's when console games started requiring installations. It's when the industry got bigger than Hollywood and, as a result, shifted its focus toward appealing to the lowest common denominator to maximize profits.
>>344116167
>rubbish shovelware that came out back then
The reason there was so much shovelware in the first place was the same reason games were better back then - they were easier to make, didn't require 20-million dollar budgets, and they didn't all have to go through a huge publisher who wouldn't clear anything that wasn't guaranteed to sell a hundred million copies. There was shovelware, yes, but it was a small price to pay for the greater variety and overall quality games had back then.
>>344121538
Indeed. Along with all the other issues, that was also the time when feminists and SJWs really started setting their sights on gaming. When gaming became huge, it led to both lack of originality as the industry played it safe as well as annoying people barging into a hobby they'd always mocked before and demanding it change to suit their agenda.

>>344125820
>>344126287
agreed. thre was a shift in gaming that most people felt. games stopped being fun around this time.
didn't help that the economy crashed in 08 so companies were force to make safe bets afterwards.
things are slowly getting better but there are still issues that have to be ironed out.
>>344126783
Not really
>>344115787
no people just say it did because thats around the time they grew up and realized how much vidya actually sucks

I have played zero games released after 2004. The last "real" game I played was Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door.
Have I missed anything or is it all shit every day?

Not pessimism you fucking underage faggot.
1994 saw the release of
Super Metroid
Mega Man X
Final Fantasy 6
Donkey Kong Country
Earthworm Jim
Star Control 2
Mortal Kombat 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
And about million other verified masterpieces.
Needless to say it has been a decline ever since that simply because nothing could ever top it.
>>344122101
something i noticed its that list containing a lot of weeb games, favoring the Vita a lot, even if its probably the blunder of this decade.
but the single fact that Red dead redemption its not even on the top ten on its release year or just being mentioned at the bottom, its more than enough to reach the conclusion this chart its its full of bullshit.

It was also the year before the PlayStation was released. Well the PS1 was released in Dec 1994, the tail end of the year.
>>344128042
lol no its easily 2008 and its not even close

those three games alone triumphs any game that came out in 1994

That's almost six years and I'm still not sure it trumps 1994. Look it up, I'm only just scratching the surface, the best KOF was released too.

>>344122101
What are some of the best games for 2016, /v/?
Everything has gotten worse since 2007.
2007-2008 was the years from hell
The Xbox 360 came out in 2005
2007 was a year after the Wii and PS3.
Last gen was about milkiong the shit out of IPs as much as possible and making games easier for casuals.
It also showed how fucking pathetic Microsoft and Sony are when they half assed making Kinect and PS Move to try and get that Nintendo money.
This gen also saw an increase in vidya prices because "development costs were high" as in publishers were overblowing budgets to make ugly movie games (see the majority of the PS3 library) or shitty indie art "games".
Of course this was also a time of big success were huge jews like Blizzard and Activsion merged to create the biggest asshole publisher, worse than EA (EA at this time, even though as shitty as they are, actually invested into new IPs with Mirror's Edge, Bad Company, Army of Two, and so on).
Also the fact that the 360 was basically the main console for the west kinda fucked Japanese developers, and several of them either closed down or eventually had to merge with other big publishers.
Last gen also encouraged Sony this gen to sucker people into paying to access their console's online features.
>>344122101
>Sonyggers in charge of making lists
No thanks.
>>344128828
Doom, Overwatch, DS3, Uncharted 4. Not bad so far.
>>344128836
>sonygger
>lists are full of pc and nintendo games as well as a few microsoft ones
Okay, anon.
>>344128836
>Also the fact that the 360 was basically the main console for the west kinda fucked Japanese developers, and several of them either closed down or eventually had to merge with other big publishers.
Most Japanese developers died off well before then. Data East, Taito, Sunsoft, Jaleco, Nichibutsu, Crea-Tech, and others essentially vanished once the PS1 was released. Only the AAA Japs survived (Square/Enix, Capcom, Konami), the only thing the 360 did for the Japs (rather, the aforementioned trio) was make them approach multiplatform development, a practice that became standard in 4th/5th gen.
>>344115787
Gaming died when 3d became the norm
Games all became the same with 3d environments, trying to copy off of all of eachother and only samey shooters coming out all the time and unoriginal platformers with bad controls. They also universally lowered the framerate of games to below 60, when it used to be the standard
>>344129083
Not really, you intentionally picked bad games like Wind Waker over legitimately good games like Galaxy 2 to make Sony's meager lineup look better in comparison.
>>344129182
Arguably this, though the rare niche 3D game will be very good and unique.
>>344129201
Or, y'know, taste is subjective and mine differs to yours.
Not everything is a conspiracy against Nintendo m8, and not everyone is petty enough to care about consolewar bullshit
No.

But what I'm most hyped about are the games that are not part of any franchise, which will be so good that they start their own future franchises.
