Gaming unironically peaked here, the following year saw the release of the Xbox 360 and with it paid online and horse armor DLC for oblivion and it was all downhill from there.

ok and how does that have any fucking thing to do with the original XBOX initiating paid online and not the 3shitty?
fucking retarded zoomies, mein gott
>>717419075
op post is all huge mainstream games with large budgets, why the fuck is Yakuza what you think of for a comparison to any of them?
that picture doesn't even include the best games of 2004, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Fable
most individual years of the 90s were better than 2004 anyway
>>717418683 (OP)
Half Life 2: 9/10 eastern europe sucks
DOOM3: nice graphics, shit gameplay, too narrow
Farcry: playable demo for jungle level, shit game
San Andreas: 10/10
Halo2: (not a consoletroon)
UG2: nice sequel, but the same game basically
WoW: 10/10
>>717423527 >paying for a game
acceptable in some cases >paying for a game every month after already buying it once:
NO GAME is that good to justify mostly payments, you're just coping

dumb zoomoid faggot, $15 a month for WoW is literally one of the most economical uses of your money in all of gaming. obviously this doesn't apply anymore since the game has been fucking dogshit for many years, but back then $15 a month was a goddamn steal.

yeah a good year indeed, none of those are actually my fav in their respective series but it was a great year for gaming nonetheless
also I'd add MGS3 and Burnout 3 to the list

during summer vacations in high school i'd literally play WoW for 12+ hours a day. that's 360 hours for $15
nowadays people pay $69.99 for shit games they beat in 15-20 hours and never touch again

Filtered with this post alone. You’ve clearly never touched a controller without dual analog in your life. Japanese devs literally carried innovation through the '90s and early 2000s while western devs were just catching up. Go boot up RE4, DMC3, or MGS3 and tell me they “feel like dogshit” again, you absolute cretin. You're mistaking “I suck at these games” for “they play bad.”

i never said gamepass is a scam, dipshit. i don't personally use it but it's well worth the money.

It may have genuinely been the best year ever.
