For gamers that were active during the 00's, early 10's, can you unironically state, with your mother's soul on the line, that video games were better during back then?

No, it was hell not needing an internet connection and subscription payment for shitty sequels of games and having to physically be around friends to play them.

>>715816291 (OP)
Compared to now? Absolutely
Late 90s - mid/ late 00s was peak regarding the essence of what a GAME is, or should be. Specfags are incapable of understanding why, because the qualities of that era can't be broken down into specs or something so detached.
Granted, like any opinion, review, whatever, it's purely subjective. There's no true best genre, platform, series, etc. it boils down to what stirs something in those that play them. Everything after the 00s was in the internet age, where people became more "connected" but detached, casuals and normies flooded the market, and just in time to supplement the cost of mass producing machines that's focus would eventually turn out to be the endless pursuit of diminishing returns on visuals, and becoming slaves to public opinion, like social issues, wanting to be seen as art, and appealing to LCDs to guarantee free money to the increasing presence and catering to shareholders.

GROSS

I think so but that's just because they appealed to my personal taste more. I don't really like big games with hundreds of mechanics and whatnot. I'm fine with something that can be finished in a week with limited complexity (with plenty of room for mastery, of course, like Devil May Cry 3).

And every so often we do get something straight from the PS2 era and I love that.

Most would say gaming has never been better however, and I can't say they are incorrect. If games are "interactive technology", then yes, peak is always rising.

Depends on the genre.
>Shooters
100% objectively undeniably better. You had prime time for arena shooters, for ADS shooters, and while there's more tactical games out now to be frank all you needed was ancient project reality and Operation Flashpoint/Arma1-2-3. This genre was at its peak in the 2000 to early 2010s period.
>CRPGs
If not the early 2000s then this genre was worse in the late 00s early 2010s. The CRPG renaissance comes around 2014 onwards.
>Strategy Games
Yes. They started to die out by the later 2000s but were still pretty strong in the early-mid.
>Dedicated Servers
The norm rather than matchmaking unless on consoles. Meant like cheers, you could have a place where everybody knew your name 420Niggerfaggot420.
>MMOs
WOW at its peak and a bonanza of wanna-be-competitors meant you had a rich selection of options.
>Fighters
Didn't do em
>JRPGs
didn't do em but I'd say generally yes it was a better era, aside of it being harder to find something more obscure relative to now where it's easier to port/translate.
>Indie games
Much worse off environment but still possible. Sadly I can't find it but I had a 2005-2006 email receipt for buying Mount and Blade 1 when it was by a turkish couple in a yurt. Just Vaegirs and Swadians literally nobody else as factions, just npc bandits. Black Khergits were black knights who say ni looking motherfuckers with warbows and axes/lances.

Multiplayer games were much higher quality. Friendlier environment with better bants. Fewer smoke alarms chirping. I don't even bother turning the voice chat on anymore in the modern era.

Big AAA games are about the same then as they are today, the only real difference is the hellscape that is lootboxes, microtransactions, and DLC. In the early 2000s, shit like that did NOT exist. Expansion packs did exist, and they were generally pretty good.
The biggest contrast between then and now is the general attitude of gamers and server administration. Back then, the server admin was a faggot, we all made fun of him, and laughs were had by all. Now? Immediate permanent ban with no chance of appeal. Worse than that, server admins hardly exist anymore because third party dedicated server hosting is drying up in favor of first party servers, so publishers have more control of people's accounts. Shit like that did NOT exist, depending on the game. You bought Quake 3 Arena, hopped on a server, talked shit for a few hours, and left satisfied.
Gamers nowadays are very different. Like I said before, we talked a lot of shit, it wasn't just uncommon for shit talk to happen, it was guaranteed. Now? Gamers are scared of their own shadow, and anybody that dare step out of line, is reported to hell and back, if not banned in less than 15 seconds. I can't take that shit at all and I haven't really played multiplayer games because of it. However, this isn't a problem with the game itself, this is a problem of gamer culture being uprooted by normie faggots that can't take a little banter, and the greedy publishers that encourage that behavior so the meanie poopoo heads don't scare away their normie money cows.
I will say that visually, games are very different, but that's to be expected. Was "woke" a thing back then? Not really, but even now most woke things can be eye rolled and ignored.
tl;dr - The games themselves are about the same, but gamers are different and gayer than ever.

No. Some games were good. Some art styles were done better on the low-res displays. But there were just as many trash-tier games from those decades as there are now.

One great example I have from 2006 is Lunar Dragon Song. That game sucks ass in the worst way possible. It's quite possibly the worst non-indie JRPG ever made. I've gone back and tried to play it out of nostalgia several times, and it's just excruciatingly bad design.

You are completely ignorant or naive. Games released unfinished in the past too, the only difference is the games stayed unfinished or broken. And time vs money spent was also far looser. A lot of old games use false replayability to disguise the fact you are spending around $50 for 5 hours or less.

Also for multiplayer with dedicated servers I think this is both the environment (which can be changed) and generations (Which cannot), but it was much much more chill but also not strict. You could say any slur no problem but nobody was screeching niggerfaggot x200 like you might in overwatch or Xbox live era Halo. I cannot understate just how more chill and relaxed it was. To my upmost conviction this is not a boomerism, full on people just were not the hysterically mean and super serious they are now. You'd get salty and mald sure I remember some fat gen X or old millennial running one of those LAN game shops (Lots of computers you could play on) kicking me and my friends out and bitching up a storm but over what I forget. No steam workshop meant installing stuff was more laborious but that could be a filter, see the whole "Younger people don't know basic computer operation of file paths and such"

>>715817659
The first I encountered of woke was my FWB in 2007 who would get hysterical about women dying in games (Legit hysterical). It was hard to fathom that'd become the norm. For other examples I can remember G4 was straight up rancid towards the Japanese, it's kinda hilarious how spiteful they were. But the culture wars really just did not exist back in the 2000s beyond some extreme outliers like that. That's also something really hard for poor fucks who became conscious circa the 2010s to understand. The world did not used to be that way. The go-to reference is (Cont)

To look up the howard stern episode from 9-11 but since that's 26 years ago you can also just look to some of the old community episodes or the IT Crowd for the late 2000s to get a sense of the cultural vibe. I know every generation goes "vgh when I was in my teens and 20s it was peak" but relative to today it really was fucking peak. Can you imagine the biggest cultural bullshit issue in /v/ being some Florida Lawyer wanting violent video games to be restricted to adults? Where the overwhelming can't escape it zeitgeist isn't woke or anti-woke but 88, RROD, PS3 has no gaems.

Of course some things never change. Kojima had a movie pretending to be a game in 2008, and he has a movie pretending to be a game in 2025.

I largely played 2 games, Halo 2 and Infantry Online. I had thousands of hours in both. Halo 2 had a huge advantage at the time because the online competition was nonexistant, at least on xbox. Literally all of my friends played Halo2 and there were no practical alternatives. There was no choice between Apex, Fortnite, COD, etc.

The second big difference is the impact of professional streamers/youtubers/ years of faggots playing a game. Halo 2 or world of warcraft were the wild west. There were no guides, no professional theory on how to grind, no zillion mods to help, just raw dogging shit. I think this helped the games with immersion.

That said, I dont think games are worse now. Im having just as much fun playing ER or factorio. Discord is a godsend along with steam. The just pure amount of games we have access to now outweigh any of my rose tinted feelings of the past. I would have times where I had nothing new to play and it sucked. That just doesnt happen anymore

For the industry as a whole, Yes.

In the 2000s, every 6 months there was a major breakthrough in graphics and technology.
The industry was big and growing, but it wasn't so big that corporations had ruined it, yet.
AAA companies were still mostly made up of real artists and competent passionate people.

However I don't want to complaint too much about games today. Once in a while we get absolute bangers. I'd say these days the number of really good games are fewer, but when they hit, they hit hard.

Oh, and little to no emulation.

texoma chivette for anyone wanting more

Absolutely not. Games today are 100 times better than they were 20 years ago.
The one single fundamental difference between then and now is that we used to play video games for the fuck of it. None of the games had ranked matchmaking, they didn't have any rewards or cosmetics, loot boxes and battle passes simply didn't exist, expansion packs were new games attached to older ones, games were released with 100% of their content present on the disc, and if the game wasn't fun on its face then nobody played it and it died. The most fun I've had playing TF2 was back when it cost $20 to buy it, it had like 7 or 8 maps, we all did dumb shit and flamed each other all the time, but the game itself was fun, and we all played it for fun. Nobody cared if you were good at Counter Strike or DOTA. You play COD with players and you always had that one really good friend who beat everyone and everyone else around him sucked, but nobody cared because the point of playing COD was to have fun. Today's games are built to suck, but keep you playing them by giving you rewards for doing so. You also are required to be a certain amount of good, otherwise nobody would want to play with you. 100% of my friends play CS2 on specific days where crates drop, they hate every second of it, they hate themselves and each other after every game, but they keep doing it for the sick chance of winning $1-$2 USD which they can only spend on STEAM bullshit. Games that don't have a battle pass or a gambling system don't exist anymore. Everyone keeps playing games they testify that they hate in their guts, but can't quit them because they are given an incentive to keep playing them.

Now take a second to imagine the communities that played video games In the late 00's and the early 10's, and compare them to the communities that play video games today.

tl;dr video games are superior today, but the way they are monetized is satanic and the communities that have no fun are suffering because of them

>>715819816

>>715816291 (OP)
Multiplayer games were far better back then. Single player games are just as good now a days, you just usually can't look for them in the AAA space anymore. Indie games are where it's at now.

I remember growing up I was always wierded out when I was over at a friend's house and his mom or sister was over. I was pretty universally despised by girls and women for being a spaz, so they always went out of their way to humiliate me in front of other people and make me the scapegoat for whatever bad trouble they were doing. Most of the time they would pretend to say I was cool or funny and get me excited and tell me to do something bad, and then later would betray me to the parents or uncles and she would start crying and freaking out and blaming me. I learned the hard way never to trust other kid's family members. Definitely not something I think of as sexy or desirable.

I mean sure, but the overall feeling was as if gaming as I knew it died for good (it actually did for a while).

It absolutely was and if you're going to claim otherwise you better state your age and ethnicity for the class before making your counter argument. I'm a 35-year-old white American and the early internet was its absolute peak.

>bud light ACKing themselves was the funniest thing that happened in a long time
For sure. idgaf about marketing campaigns, but it's bud light. Like... come. on. When their target demographic is freedom swilling muricans, what did they think was gonna happen? lol
>didnt even see the ad that ruined their image
Same, unfortunately, the joy of bud light shooting itself in the foot is drowned out by how ass blasted christcucks and freedomtards got because some troon or something. It's fucking beer. But muricans put so much stock in what they see on tv, I suppose it can't be helped

peak vidya games was from around 1994 to 2004. it was all downhill after that with a sharp decline after 2007.

Counterpoint: Todays shitty moviegames are unoptimized trash written by politically obsessed dangerhaired retards that can't write a grocerylist without trying to turn it into a political manifesto.
Games were better before that became the norm.

And of course, the lost lost art of DEATH ANIMATIONS.
When is the last time you played a shooter with good death animations instead of gay ragdolling?
How about a sequel that's a big improvement over the previous game?

There may have been games released after 2012 that were, to me, subjectively as good or better than games released prior to the cut-off date of 2012-2013 (which I consider the beginning of the Vidya Dark Ages). However, the sheer volume of good, enjoyable games prior to that period - whether or not they were actually discretely better than the best of today's video games - vastly outweighs the incredible dearth of high-quality games nowadays and the general pervasive soullessness of the video game industry since the Obama administration.
Therefore I maintain that "yes", video games were better back then, overall.

Wrong, we currently are in a golden age of video games. Stop playing video games that are not AAA and you will understand why.

>>715820753
I'm a 31yo black Brazilian and I disagree. Been on the internet since the 2000s.

Early internet was slow as shit, the internet from 10-14 years ago was much better than the 2000s internet, this decade internet is not the best but still superior than early 00's internet.

>>715821363
mmm yummy

>>715821254
That's not useful advice, and "getting rejected" can be followed by a police interrogation these days. It's not the 90s anymore.

>mom gives you your first drink
Is this a fatherless thing? My first drink and everyone i knows first drink was either their father or grandfather giving them a beer while fishing, hunting or doing some kind of labor. Mine was specifically after finishing digging out the foundation of a patio area in the backyard with my dad.

>For gamers that were active during the 00's, early 10's, can you unironically state, with your mother's soul on the line, that video games were better during back then?
No i can't since some games were better but not all games and there are some amazing games that were made recently. This is why my list includes 4 decades of videogames. Every decade has good games to offer.

>00s
Yes.
>10s
No. By the mid 2010s at least, DLC, loot crates and microtransaction are the norm. Games are in beta at time of release and playable only after dozens of updates. E-sports has taken off and sweaty online competitive is the default mode of play for a huge portion of the market. Unique and original games are in decline as smaller studios begin to shut down or be absorbed by the monopoly.

So, no. Maybe up until around 2013 you could say, but the majority of the decade saw all the shitty problems that gaming has now, albeit to lesser degrees.

Unequivocably. Loot boxes didn't exist until 2009. Always-on DRM wasn't a thing until 2012. The actual idea of small, less-than-expansion sized DLC didn't reach the mainstream until Oblivion's horse armor DLC in 2006, which also predated the iPhone and microtransactions in general. "Live service games" weren't always a thing, and were originally pioneered by games like League of Legends and Team Fortress 2. There was a time when you could buy a game and play it, and nobody expected it to continuously extract money from you. Even online multiplayer games! It was, literally, a different time.

>>715816291 (OP)
2007-ish was the last of the good times, up until that, yeah, easily.
