Do you miss the brown n bloom dude bro/GWoT era of video games when most shooters were either glorified recruitment ads OR games made with the sole focus of checking the boxes off of everything shown here
https://youtu.be/Y0EvGPZe2UA

And ofc tacking on a multi-player mode for everything even if it was a single player series?

>>712465998 (OP)
Nope, this is when the decline of vidya started happening as companies began pandering to normalfag casuals.

absolutely not, this is why i started losing interest in video games and didn't come back until the indie boom

>>712465998 (OP)
let's just say i'd rather have modern warfare 2 and black ops 1 over whatever the fuck CoD is nowadays

>>712466098
Well they arent pandering to normies now and its still a decline

>>712465998 (OP)
>Israel and America war with Iran soon
brown n bloom dude bro is back on the table!

>>712468290
Nothings gonna happen
We killed their highest general and nothing happen besides like 5 missles blowing up the ground in a deserted part of an air base.
Trump told Bolton to fuck off with his neo-cheany war mongering and hes been seething at him since.

Why would he listen to Bolton now?
And Iran sent like hundreds of missles at Israel this year and they're so shit not one managed to not get shot out of the air or do any significant damage

>>712465998 (OP)
fuck no I don't

>>712465998 (OP)
Just because things are worse now doesn't mean I want lesser garbage.

>>712465998 (OP)
I miss grey, black and red. It almost existed before Killzone 2 was colourised.

Yes bloom is a good thing. I too miss when COD and shooters in general were concerned with modern warfare.

I don't miss american scum acting stupid.

>comparing literally who games nobody heard of to 7th gen defining slop
I'll keep reminding you how desperate you are every time you post this dogshit image.

>>712470247
Both of them are shit. I'm not choosing a side when neither of them is good.

This era was better than right now, and if you werent a snoygger/pcvck/xbot then there were plenty of great games. But I'd rather go back another 10 years from there.

>>712470519
>Need For Speed Heat is literal who
>Rainbow Six Siege is literally who
Yes we know you're desperate

>>712470663
Need For Speed hasn't been a relevant franchise ever since the end of 6th gen you fucking moron.

>>712470315
It gave us some gems

>>712470942
I never played that one and don't plan to, so I can't really care.

>>712470841
It literally got a Hollywood movie ( a successful one I might add) well after 6th gen
Soooo yeah desperate is what you are.

i only miss the wii. everything else was shit

>>712471042
Well then you're missing out on playing a good game. Cant really judge an era if you never played the games now can ya?

>>712471227
Fewer games that I wanted came out during that age. That is all that matters to me. So it's shitty.

>>712470519
Fortnite is literal who now? Since when? Or is this just some insane cope?

>>712471343
What about MGS4?

RE5 really was that style at its worst. Cant complain about the action tho. Cause 6 stunk

>>712471502
I never played it, and if I ever decided to, I would have to play the first 4+. (I assume there's actually like 6 or 7 MGS games that came out before it.) And that makes me want to play other games instead because they "require" less of an "investment" if that makes sense.

>>712471894
Well if you ever run out of games to play you seem to have a backlog of classics you haven't tried yet then it seems.

I guess you haven't played this brown coated game but id recommend it to you as its also a fun classic

>>712470519
>literally who games nobody heard of
lol wut

>>712472553
Its some schizo. He thinks its the same guy posting everytime he sees that image

>>712472482
I like ROM hacks. That isn't happening anytime soon. Also, I'm gonna be blunt. If that's a third or first-person shooter, I won't be interested. I played Doom and had some fun, but I just like other stuff more.

>According to Electronic Arts, Need for Speed: Underground 2 sold above 8.4 million units worldwide by the end of 2004. The PlayStation 2 version of Underground 2 received a "Double Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 600,000 copies in the United Kingdom. The game ultimately sold around 11 million copies and entered the "best-sellers" of each console, PS2's Greatest Hits, Xbox's Platinum Hits, and GameCube's Player's Choice.
>Need for Speed: Most Wanted was a commercial success; it sold over 18 million copies worldwide and 3.9 million in the United States, making it the best-selling title in the series. The PlayStation 2 version of Most Wanted received a "Double Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 600,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

>Forbes reported that Need for Speed: Rivals sold approximately 4.34 million units worldwide since its release. VGChartz — a reputable, data-driven sales tracker — also estimates the figure at “4million+” units. Wikipedia, citing these public estimates, similarly lists global sales at 4 million copies.
>A reasonable summary is that Need for Speed Heat sold at least 2.3 million copies, with industry expectations and data suggesting a likely total between 3 and 4 million units globally.

Kill yourself, you mouth-breathing zillennial shitstain.

>>712472882
How do you feel about RPGs then?

>>712473012
>Skips most wanted the best selling and most popular NFS of all time
>Which was at peak 7th gen brown and bloom
Pathetic
Pathetic and desperate.

>>712473301
>>skips most wanted
You are, quite literally, retarded. Wipe your nigger boyfriend's jizz off your eyes, you transsexual cretin.

>>712473012
The movie had a 60 million budget and made over 200 million.
In 2014 which is a whole decade and a half past 6th gen. That's pretty fucking relevant. Much more than other movie titles.
Mortal Kombat 2021 didnt even break 100 million

>>712465998 (OP)
>lose in Afghanistan
>lose in Iraq
Not much to brag about

>>712473301
Also
>peak 7th gen

>Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a 2005 racing video game, and the ninth installment in the Need for Speed series following Underground 2. Developed and published by Electronic Arts (EA), it was released in November 2005 for GameCube, PlayStation 2, Windows, Xbox, and Xbox 360
>Launched worldwide mostly between November 2005 and December 2006, the Xbox 360 was initially in short supply in many regions, including North America and Europe.
Yeah, release month of the first 7th gen console sure sounds like "peak of 7th gen". Fucking mongoloid.

Did your mother drip feed you malt liquor through the umbilical?

>>>6th gen
Hmmm this doesn't look 6th gen
Neither does Carbon
Or Pro Street
Or the Hot Pursuit reboot...
Sad and pathetic

>>712473086
Neutral leaning towards positive. But unless that has a PC version or something I just won't play that. I don't think Xbox emulation exists in a tolerable state.

>>712474012
>i-it doesnt count because its only one month
Yeah you lost

>>712465998 (OP)
what video game closely resembles this bump?

>>712474098
It was a game developed during the 6th gen, released for 6th gen consoles, and ported to the next gen.
>Neither does Carbon
>Or Pro Street
>Or the Hot Pursuit reboot...
And how did their sales do in comparison to NFSU1 and 2?

>>712474242
You literally said "peak 7th gen", you cretin. Since when is the first month "peak of the console's lifespan"?

>>712474296
>>712474404
And all of this isn't even relevant, because none of these games are the ones in this image
>>712470247

How did the sales of the NFS game in that image compare to the sales of NFSU1/2/MW? You ARE comparing games of equal cultural impact after all, right?

>>712474012
Hey retard. Movies from video game titles are made when Hollywood thinks there's enough public interest to make a profit. You need to be relevant to have one and especially relevant to be a box office hit. Which NFS did. Which Mario did which Minecraft did. This retard really is gonna say that they dont matter. LMAO

>>712465998 (OP)
No.

>>712474404
Peak 7th gen brown and bloom. Nice fail at cherry picking. Are you an esl pajeet? Cause this whole thread is about the aesthetic not literal consoles
You're literally moving goalposts now trying to match sales numbers to Underground 2 and 1 when your argument was
>its not relevant past 6th gen
Which has already proven you false numerous times already itt. You keep replying as if you have any credibility but you have 0. So desperate you are you literally got caught red handed calling fucking Fortnite, Rainbow Six siege, and fucking Rocket League as literal who games. Theres no reason to read any post of yours itt at all after that fact.

>>712465998 (OP)
>Do you miss the brown n bloom dude bro/GWoT era of video games
No

>>712475245
>>its not relevant past 6th gen
And it isn't. Name a single NFS game that sold even half as much as the best selling NFS titles which released for 6th gen consoles. I'll wait. Go ahead. Once you're done with that, tell me how well whichever NFS is in that image did in comparison.

>>712465998 (OP)
This is when gaming got shitty, so no. The only parts of this era I still look on fondly are the DS and Wii.

If anything I feel like I was trained in weapons operations playing all these games despite only ever touching a handful of rifles, like some kind of MK ultra shit

>>712475440
A game could sell 200 less than Underground 2 and you'll say nuh uh that means its not relevant. Like relevancy has a threshold or number that must be crossed..again you have no credibility and youre moving goalposts now trying to hyperfocus on sale numbers.

Carbon selling 8.5 million copies its first year is still a heavy fucking mark of relevancy for a franchise. This is your brain on zoomer steamcharts brainrot, numbers is their religion.

>>712474125
How about open world?

>>712477749
I'm on team open world sux. I like levels and stages.

>>712477212
>Carbon selling
Is that carbon in that image?
>>712470247

I thought you were dunking on modern vidya?
