When did this era of gaming officially end?

2006

>>22984556
But the photo was taken in 2007

2004, Half-Life 2

>>22984555 (OP)
>2007
Wasn't crysis released around then? The era that picture is referencing was probably before crysis

>>22984555 (OP)
Diablo 2 is so good. Wish i discovered it early on. I didnt play it until last year.
Not sure if my childhood computer could have even handled Diablo 2. Probably, because I remember playing Half-Life and Starcraft on it

>>22984557
It phased out gradually but I'd say 2006 to 2008 the latest

>>22984555 (OP)
2004, when WoW was released

>>22984555 (OP)
started dying after HL2 then officially shit the bed by the time Skyrim came out

>>22984560
The first act is fun. By the end of that you realize you're just pointing and clicking at things.

>>22984555 (OP)
The only game was was remotely playable after around 2005 was CS:GO and even that turned to shit very fast

>>22984564
Yeah but the story is so good, and the cinematics were *chef's kiss*. Not to mention the private servers that made endgame really fun

>>22984555 (OP)

>>22984564
the first act is legit kino, the whole huntress tribe being converted to big titted psycho queens worshipped a mega titted demoness is kino - KINO, im not even sure it could be made today

Gaming is for lazy NEETs who refuse to work. Society should force them to work extra to compensate for the drain on society caused by their behavior.
Bully NEETs. Shame NEETs. Force NEETs to work overtime. Make NEETs work during lunch break. Force NEETs to work during the weekends. Strap electric collars to NEETs and shock them for slacking off. Make NEETs recite the National Work Ethic Anthem every day in the morning. Induce lucid dreaming in NEETs to make them work in their sleep. Make NEETs work until they die.

hard to put an exact point where it ended, but I do miss it

2010

That looks like the Mike who taught me how to play D2 in 2001. Mom didn't like ke hanging out over there.

>>22984555 (OP)
last good triple A game was skyrim, all that came after was bugged tranny shit
but gaming had by then arrived in the mainstream and was filled with niggerfaggots

>>22984555 (OP)
Gaming went to dogshit with the release of Xbox360 and PS3. The dark ages of Consoles first gaming. The era of yellow stained milislop cover shooter. Gaben singlehandedly brought us back from the brink of destruction.

>>22984563
There was a "Silver Age" between the mid-2000's and the early 2010's
>Battlefield 2 and 3
>CoD 4 to Black Ops 2
>Halo 2 to Halo Reach
>Mass Effect trilogy
>Oblivion and Skyrim
>First 3 Gears of War
It ended around 2013 with the wave of corporate consolidations that ushered in the Sloppification Era

i agree with this 1.
>>22984563

>>22984562
This. WoW killed gaming.

>>22984570
I think when they had an opportunity to make Wind Waker's cel shading stuff look like the manual art from Zelda 1 and 2 but decided on a gay blobby art style and also when they chose Lance Bass to voice Sephiroth were some of the big "wtf are they doing" moments for me.

>>22984555 (OP)
How can we restore the pre-obama internet?

Sometime in the 2000s. I remember Halo 3 really blowing the lid off online console gaming c. 2007.

>>22984560
Same, but my parents would never let me touch a game like that as a kid. They would let me shit up cod 2 lobbies on dial up though, which I took full advantage of

With the wide spread adoption of internet and flat screens

>>22984555 (OP)
At LEAST before twitch came around.

>>22984555 (OP)
Like most things, that form of gaming went away when smartphones became a thing
Almost everything developed now is about how to capture the mobile audience. Games where you spend hours grinding levels and gear are really only being played by people that were born before 2000. New games are about the MTX and quick matches

>>22984595
>the dismal tide of plebs killed it
sounds right to me

>>22984555 (OP)
Gaming never ended, faggot.
We're getting a plethora of kino from Europe and Asia.

Yeah it sucks that the same Jews who shit out goyslop (North America) have a vice grip around the industry, but that's not stopping good games from coming out.
Expand your horizons or get a new hobby.

>>22984570
Hi-ho, former EQ dev here! DEI+Covid killed gaming. That's why we're all unemployed now. Thankfully I did alright and didn't squander my dev buks so extended unemployment has been kind of a chill hiatus psuedo-neet experience for me. But for the vast majority, they are fucked and leaving the industry. Aside from things actively in development, you won't see anything new or interesting for at least five years since it'll be probably another year at least before venture capital starts feeling comfortable enough to fund gaming and then it takes 2-5 years to make a small game. In the meantime, embrace the small indy game so we can eat.

>>22984559
the launch of Crysis officially marked the end of gaming, a game so hyped up for muh groundbreaking graphics that would 'change gaming' forever, and everyone went along with it for a while, only to realize pretty quickly it had zero redeemable qualities as of gameplay

>>22984555 (OP)
To me, gaming died when the last game "new" game could be bought at a Best Buy. 2008ish. I'd say something like TES: Oblivion. I still play Civ 4. UT2k4 was the last good FPS, fuck your CS, Battlefield 2+, etc.

>>22984584
Blizzard is weirdly predatory in that they identify a particular gaming niche and then effectively monopolize it ensuring that there can be no alternatives because "Blizzard is doing it better". They're literally like Walmart. They move in, take over a genre and become the only choice.

>>22984599
In 2007, no one even really talked about Crysis other than marketers. The gaming forums were all consumed with Halo 3, Cock of Doody: Modern Gayfuck Stupid, WoW, and RuneScape 2.

>>22984555 (OP)
When the Xbone was announced.

>>22984598
>embrace the small indy game so we can eat.
there's a lot of really good indie games, and much of the time, i'd rather play an indie game than a game made by triple A developers. the only triple A developers i make an exception for are Valve and FromSoftware, even though FromSoftware kinda rehashes the same shit over and over with the Souls games

2007 was the year when everything started to go shit, but 2014 was when gamergate happened and ended gaming as we knew it permanently.

I was really hoping that this industry would have crashed in 2013, but we weren't so lucky.

>>22984555 (OP)
i miss playing starcraft and diablo 2 with after school with my friends. those days don't exist anymore

>>22984602
Crysis was the "manifestation" of the optimism around gaming those days. A glorified tech demo of what awaits us in the stars. Gameplay really was mid though, which is kind of funny when you think about the AAA slop through the 10s

>>22984569
You work, we play.
If you dislike that, commit suicide.

>>22984555 (OP)
2010-2011 was already at/beyond the slippery slope. CoD: Black Ops was released in 2010 and it was the perfect slippery slope. Ok to good multiplayer, huge player base, and triple A slop single player which was trash and everybody just took for granted. Origin store was also a big thing and dropped in 2011. Everybody else just copied triple A slop and perma online bullshit from then on (even though that store was just a copy of Steam, but the point is that it was slop).

>>22984605
Online gaming as we know it wasn't dead with gamergate, it died when discord became more popular than teamspeak.

>>22984555 (OP)
Between 2011 and 2013 is when everything got fucked, which includes gaming.

Starcraft 2, Mass Effect, Cod MW2, Halo Reach, Fallout New Vegas were all released around 2010 and are widely regarded as some of the greatest, if not greatest, games of all time.

>>22984611
Online gayming has always been ass, nigga.

>>22984611
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I chalked it up to just being old but it feels like at some point the meta-game of Discord supplanted and became more important than the game itself (whatever the game is). And I guess that's the point. The game doesn't matter, what matters is the meta-game of the Discord community surrounding the game.

I don't like it.

>>22984555 (OP)
I stopped playing PC in like 2009, I liked that WW2 counter strike mod but moved on to COD world at war and never looked back.

You could do this with games such as World of Warcraft until about 2012. After that it became highly antisocial when boomers and little kids with mommy credit card began infesting the the game.

Basically, the more normies you put into something the worse it gets.

you can do that right now

>>22984555 (OP)
when ever twitch came around

>>22984555 (OP)
Whenever Fortnite became popular.

The guy is right. Games are for kids. As an adult, it’s just another form of escapism, which can be warranted but is pretty much always bad for you if taken to an extreme and extreme has become normalized among young men.

>>22984612
Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim were the last replayable open world offerings the gaming industry had to offer. Maybe the new TES6 will pick up the torch, but I somehow doubt it given that every single Fallout and other release from Bethesda since Skyrim has been shit.

>>22984586
Make it much less popular.

When people replaced CRTs with soulless LCD monitors that are still to this day inferior in picture quality and latency.

>>22984557
Yeah, gaming was already dead then.

>>22984582
Skyrim is slop though.
Holy normies think it's a good game.

>>22984600
That is a common sentiment. Back when buying the disc actually meant having the entire game without having to sign up to some bullshit.

Also zoomers came of age, PS4 and xbone were shit, everything is game libraries instead of physical media you own, and Trump derangementstarted

>>22984630
The whole game could have been a point and click "let's learn math together" game and you'd need to present a multi episode PowerPoint presentation on why it's not that big of a deal that there are demons and sigils on the box art

>>22984557
Spooky

>>22984615
Day of Defeat wasn't a Counter-Strike mod. It was based off the original Team Fortress.
>>22984633
>Day of Defeat was a great mod.
Betas 1-1.3b were great. Once they introduced fake recoil, the graphics improved while the gameplay went downhill. The retail version officially killed the game. Those who took over had no idea what made DoD popular to begin with.

>>22984604
>the only triple A developers i make an exception for are Valve


damn hows that 23876429384th playthrough of half life 2 going?

seriously how can you be a fan of a game company that doesn't even make games anymore LMAO??

>>22984584
WoW provided millions of people with millions of hours of entertainment, and is a very good game.

What is killing games is microtransactions and DLC content... releasing 60% complete games at "full price" and then a few weeks later releasing a $30 patch.

Releasing a fighting game w\ 8 playable characters and then making you wait months at a time for them to add 1 character at atime for a fee... That's what has hurt gaming the most.

Good games:
>Diablo 2
>World of Warcraft
>Starcraft
>Heroes 3
>Final Fantasy 7,8
Later goyslop can also be good, for instance
>Witcher 3
>Soulsborne and Elden Ring
but for the most part everything is trash

>>22984643
Imagine even playing those games.
Nobody is forcing you, lmao.

>>22984642
I'm a huge Dota 2 fan and I'm happy for the most part with how they maintain that game with regular updates and new content
They also made a new game last year called Deadlock, and while it's not quite my cup of tea, I can't wait until people start making mods and custom games for it

>>22984555 (OP)
When programs became "apps"

>>22984606
based. Starcraft is truly one of the best games ever made. I just saw a guy streaming it on tiktok this morning and was reminded how good it was.

POE is good too. I mostly quit gaming after coming to pol but lately I've been dabbling in a few matches of warzone per day if I'm able. Waiting on new POE 2 league to pick up so trading is more active.

>>22984599
It's still one of the most fun shooters out there.
The default control scheme just made it hard to make the most of it.

The sequels sucked ass though, consolified to shit.

>>22984555 (OP)
PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii generation era. They stopped caring about optimization and the stuff that made Gamergate happen went into full swing.

They were always "apps" or "applications." I remember calling them "applications" in Windows 3.1 days.

>>22984643
We don't make games for our health, we do it for money. If you're not a payer, YOU are the content for those who are. Be happy that there is a way for you to be content for someone with money, otherwise you'd get nothing at all (like now). Keep that in mind the next time you complain that there are no games to play.

A lot devs broke off to start their own smaller studios and poached people. Hopefully they wised up and kept it private, but who knows which of those studios will succeed or fail. Its why there is finally an RTS revival when the whole genre flat out died because the AAA studios abandoned the entire genre. Of course there is all the indie stuff but yeah shit ain't good for most devs. Especially the greats who made the classic and amazing games. Some of which was extremely technically challenging like RTS.

>>22984570
I wanted to play, but my mom said the art on the front was porn and wouldn't let me buy it. I finally convinced her it wasn't, got it, then as soon as she heard the modem dialing she started on about how pedophiles were going to find me and kidnap me and made me uninstall it and return it to the store. Oh well.

Holy shit y'all are old. PC gaming was trash back in the day. Nowadays you can play whatever the fuck you want from any era of gaming and anything new as well. You're just mad cuz the jewish mainstream doesn't target you anymore. You became old and you're not their target audience anymore.
You're too late to get your supper, unc.

>>22984661
i mean, yes it's good to kill them but not in a edgy occult way

>>22984598
Thank you for your service. Played the shit out of EQ and especially EQ2. Got to experience the best of it. Still remember watching noobs fall out of kelethin. Beta'd Vanguard and played from launch but then ran out of finished content in like two weeks got xp froze went back to real life in boredom and MMOs were dead to me.

you have no idea how good things used to be

The Dreamcast was the last stand of “pure” offline console gaming

Low IQ zoomer take. Gaming was much better before all the shit pay2win and gacha games arrived on the scene

>>22984667
nah, did you know that sega was among the first to introduce DLC for games? LMAO

>>22984599
Crysis wasn’t meant to be a good game, it was just to advertise their new cry engine, but the engine was trash for gameplay.

i didnt know anyone actually played that game. mainly because no one could afford a computer to play it, lol

>>22984667
Aktually.... Dreamcast had the first console "MMO" in Phantasy Star Online. That Crazy Taxi and Marvel vs. Capcom was the reason I bought the console, even though I knew it was otherwise doomed. RIP Dreamcast. You were the better console.

>>22984555 (OP)

It ended when WoW / Modern Warfare 2 were released.

>>22984582
I'd say it started in 2010. Imo, L4D2 is the last game I still try to play on a regular basis with my friends.

>>22984674

My dad used to have a friend from work come over all the time, and he bought me a dreamcast for christmas... but as a young autist, i was offput by such a large gift from a "family friend" and also was delving into drugs and stuff and never played it.. huge regret.

What the heck did you just frickin’ say about me, you little whiner? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the frick out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my frickin’ words. You think you can get away with saying that crap to me over the Internet?

Think again, buddy. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, buddy.

The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re frickin dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable butt off the face of the continent, you little poopy-head.

If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your stinking tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you big jerk. I will rain fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re in frickin’ trouble, mister.

After the release of XBox 360 and PS3 in 2006 studios were innovating a lot to make use of the huge leap in computing power compared to the previous generation. So we saw a lot of great games and new franchises between 2006-2010. But then the industry got greedy and cocky because of their success and started fucking up from 2011 by releasing shitty sequels and trying to make more money through half-assed unfinished games, DLCs and microtransactions.

It's all been culturally purged so I don't think we can

When the Arthas story line finished. That's when the era from ps1 / n64 to wrath of the lich king ended, and then computer parts became cheap and widely available and graphics didn't really get much better, and the "gamer" was marketed as now cool and streaming began.

After the towers fell in 2001, the cultural zeitgeist turned to military glorification, so video games leaned hard into looking like military movies, and military movies were all drab and gray (because Hayes codes about glorifying war). So as a result, in an effort to look "realistic and gritty" most games from 2004-2010 had absolutely monochromatic color palletes, with the color spectrum being a few shades of gray, brown, rust, or (if they really wanted to spice it up) ghostly green. F:NV chose orange.

No one was playing Minecraft in 2009.
I had it indev and shilled that shit here relentlessly.

minecraft is the only meaningful game on that list everything else is garbage.

good mobile phones started releasing in 2008 with the first iphone - skyrim released 2011. then you had shit like league and dota releasing so i would put the official "death of gaming" year as 2012. barely anything good released after that. the few good games rely heavily on copying some pre 2012 games. only indie devs have the balls to create new stuff since

I've played both recently, and Diablo II is a lot better for quality of life than the Diablo walking simulator. Love the original soundtrack, dialog, and sound effects though.

It never did for me

Steam is more convenient than piracy.

When linkin park stopped being a cool new thing in the mid 2010s and became to millennials as nirvana is to gen x or queen is to gen boomer.

The real question is where are the good zoomer bands that define their gay generation and why do they always claim millennial ones.

I really like Dota 2, but I agree that WC3 Dota is better in a lot of ways, the aesthetics are way better in WC3 Dota. Blizzard really fucked up by letting Valve get ahold of it

>>22984598
If you're referring to Monsters and Memories then I'm on board!
I've seen all the interviews on aLovingRobot's channel, they were a great watch. (screw Bill for making the necromancer epic so hard lol)
The Iksar are the best lizardman race in all of fantasy imo. it's cool they came from a dev's D&D campaign when he was a teenager.

That game was lit. It was fun to see the devs occasionally join the games, only to be utterly obliterated and buffing their lovechild heroes in the next patch

Those ages are gone now. Its nice to reminiscence but just like the 90s, 80s, 70s etc before it there is no going back. You can only emulate glimpses of what you felt back then in those days

I only play EVE online now, modern slop is insufferable.

Whenever people started using the term gamer to refer to someone that plays video games/computer games.
