i feel old bruh

>>718659709 (OP)
I haven't played a single one of those games.

>>718659709 (OP)
Man, 2015 was a shit year.

>Overwatch 1 won GOTY over Dark Souls 3

that's still the biggest crime in the history of humanity.

video games have plateaued hard so it somewhat exacerbates that such "old" games are essentially modern

>average /v/ user has good taste compared to the unwashed goyslop consuming masses
yeah we know

Just be glad you're not a zoomer or even worse gen Alpha.

>average /v/ user has good taste
ahahahahahha
good one

I know time gets faster for everyone in general, but I really think 2020 and 2021 "don't count" as years at all in most people's minds, in a more objective, universal sense. It's just a total blackhole in most people's memories. So 2016 really does feel more like 7 years ago than 9 years

>MUH PANDEMIC
My life didn't change at all, I still went to work 5 days a week, came home and stayed home all the time, except the 1 day a week where I go buy food.

Fucking normalfags man.

>>718659921
Unironically, the average normie has more insightful things to say about video-games than the average /v/ user. The average /v/ user has a reductive contrarian buzzphrase for everything. Elden Ring? "muh rollslop". L4D2? "muh friendslop". God of War? "muh snoy". Doom? "muh safe masculinity". They hate video-games and don't even play them

>>718660156
Even disregarding anecdotal evidence, all industries still froze. Almost no noteworthy games or movies came out in that period for obvious reasons. So when you say "nothing good has come out in the past 5 years", really it's fair to count it as only 3 years when you think about it

>>718659709 (OP)
MGSV is now as old as MGS1 was when MGS4 came out, how about that, huh?

>>718659709 (OP)
What a terrible decade for games

I played DS3 but I kinda wish I hadn't.

How is this possible? Fruit alone makes this impossible for me. I have to go 2 times a week. Do you not eat fruit or something?

>>718660825
It's not even funny how grim things are, this just makes me sad.

>>718660865
I eat a few bananas in the following days of going to the store. I'm not super fond of them, but they are alright.

I don't think I've cared about video games less in my life than I do right now. Any game I try pick up I lose interest in after 30-40 hours max. Haven't finished a long haul game in years.

>>718660825
It reminds me of how Black Sabbath made 6 albums in 5 years, and David Bowie made 11 albums in 8 years and they were all pure kino. And now "artists" make maybe one album every four or five years and it's fucking dogshit. It's just an objective industry-wide decline in work ethic and quality

>>718661040
>Any game I try pick up I lose interest in after 30-40 hours max
Pretty fucking bizarre metric to use. Most triple A action games aren't even 20+ hours to begin with

>>718661190
im not playing triple a games

i look like this

>>718659709 (OP)
Only 10? All those games feel way older than that to me.

I've played only Dark Souls 3 out of those and I fucking hated it, worst souls game by far.
So yeah. The feeling of time passing is even worse when you start considering how long it's been since the last GOOD games

Your average normalfag thinks the "80s" were roughly 20 years ago.
Try asking people how long ago the 80's were and you will be bewildered, huge mental schism affecting the entire world.

I bet people went full Mcmahon.gif during 2000's E3 because Rockstar isn't the only culprit.

>>718660517
Being a millennial is comfy. In our childhood and youth culture evolved explosively. But as our lives slowed down, so has the culture itself.
Zoomers on the other hand were born into a slow dead world and now they're so used to it the oppose all change

>>718663508
>every few years we used to get genre defining games back in the 90's/2000's
More like every few months. Entire new genres were created every few months

>>718663792
This is something that cannot be understated, I'm glad that smartphones became a thing when I was already past my chuuni days in HS and social media was in its infancy.

>>718663768

>they just pretended to be retarded

>>718663508
It's fairly easy to define a genre when the medium itself is still in its first handful of decades and the technology is still growing. Now both of those are relatively defined.

>>718663030
Thats because culture stopped evolving in 2002

>>718659709 (OP)
>nothing noteworthy has happened in gaming in at least 10 years
Grim.

>>718664437
This. The last genre-defining films were made in the 70s and early 80s. After that, it's just endless derivative recycling. Talkies took off in the early 30s, so it took the medium of film 40 years to fully elaborate itself. Sounds about right for video-games as well

>>718664437
Entire genres are still up for grabs in VR but nobody gives a shit. People just don't want innovation now, they want fortnite season 42

>>718664382
>DUDEEEE MORNING WAS 7 HOURS AGO!
morning bros, I want to go back......

>persona 5 was 10 years ago.
I wonder how cheap is the complete edition of it by now. i know every persona game has at least one more complete edition version of the game so i always wait for those to be 70% off

I really hope we just completely give up on le AAA hypergraphics any day now. Just totally stop bothering with it. Make your games as nice as you feel like, because this isn't working.

It's like a race towards the turtle that makes you go half as fast every time you cross half the distance towards it.

>>718665402
steam version is as final as it gets
it goes -60% regularly

>>718659754
3 are MP sloppa
2 are niches I'm not into
1 is just Souls, and I've played enough of those already

>>718666351
Your gonna take your 8K 45 fps with AI fake frames and ghosting and your gonna like it.

>>718659754
Titanfall 2 has a short but pretty cool campaign if you're not big on the multiplayer that some people still like.

>>718660261
All of those things (except friendslop imo) are simply shorthand for criticism no one feels the need to write numerous paragraphs about 5 years later to the same retards who instantly pretend any decent new release is one of the best games ever made.

>>718660865
>>718660916
these niggas talking bout they fruit im dead

If this makes you feel old, you're still pretty young.

>>718659754
I haven't even opened my ps4 yet. I bought it like 5 years ago.

I could see RT artifacts in the RE9 demo released yesterday even through the youtube compression. Disgusts me how many people accept this.

>>718665016
I was so happy back then, I'll forgive them for what they took from us.

>>718666469
Ill make it go even further

>>718659709 (OP)
so nothing good has came since 2015?

>>718668389
I feel compelled to measure that in terms of what I just play almost routinely after work each day, and it's rarely even a game made after 2005.

Lurk moar, newfag. You can't even bring up Doom 2016 without someone screeching "Reddit" and "Zoom" and "safe masculinity" at you

>>718666740
>admits to ruining discourse on /v/
Based

>>718669546
NTA but I have not seen "safe masculinity" applied to Doom. I have only seen that applied to the new God of War games (on stop of it being Snoy). The doom games do not even have as much character needed to be considered "safe masculinity" or not because we still never see Doomguy's face or learn anything about him as a person.

>>718669791
I don't know what to tell you. I've seen several posts and threads deriding "Zoom 2016" and "Zoom Eternal" as safe masculinity, along with Space Marine. I mean, do you want me to go through the fucking archives to prove it?

>>718669930
Yes please because I love reading stupid Internet flame wars. I can't imagine anyone willingly posting here who doesn't feel the same way. I have heard about it being called 'zoomer' but that is only semi-related to it being "safe masculinity" which is its own separate meme.

>>718669701
Takes 2 to play that game and I don't stomach ceaseless irrational praise, which comes hand in hand with the hype culture the vidya industry has thrived on. If you take anything seriously in internet discourse in the 2020s, then that's on you, a lesson I remind myself of from time to time. I'm mainly here to pass the time at work.

I remember a whole thread about how Space Marine 2 and Doom are safe masculine, but I can't find it. And that's not counting all the "Doom is le reddit" shitposting

>>718659709 (OP)
The games industry really has just massively stagnated the last 10 years hasn't it?

>>718671204
Crazy to think words like f a m got autofiltered for overuse. Thank God there aren't any of those on the boards these days.

>>718671349
Stagnated? I wish. It has regressed.

>>718671349
Most genres ultimately haven't changed much outside of adding new business models and other odd trends. Even console features haven't gotten all that fancy beyond SSDs and hardware-based screen capture, and something like Wipeout HD on PS4 won't let you use your own music in contrast to the PS3. Indies are doing fine I suppose?

>>718671370
We still have a shitload of console war pejoratives from a decade ago still wordfiltered.

>>718671293
Thank you kindly anon!
The third one is especially stupid
>I eat bacon and wear cowboy hats but I would never ever ever do a racism or sexism
Which is true about what the definition is but it can't really be applied to a character we know nothing about. He is just a faceless, nameless character that kills things and doesn't really have a personality one way or another.

>DMC3 turned 20 this year
Fuck.

>>718659904
Sequels have more to prove than new IPs
DS3 didn't do anything that DS2 didn't already do.

Literally the last enjoyable release for me was Nioh 2 and while I have a guilty pleasure for Stranger of Paradise and even the Wukong game I don't even remember the name of, even this subgenre of Nioh clones is turning into slop real fast.

>>718659709 (OP)

Dark Souls is now as old as The Curse of the Monkey Island was when Dark Souls released.

>>718659904
Giving a shit about game of the year? That shit has been a corpo circle jerk since award shows began. Literally the only reason to watch the game awards is live cringe moments, muppets, and new trailers

>>718659754
you missed out dude

>>718660053
The world has also felt like it’s “slowed down” for a lack of a better term. I replayed GTA V recently and it’s shocking just how little the world has changed since 2013.

>Almost no noteworthy games or movies came out in that period for obvious reasons.

Minecraft Dungeons, Scarlet nexus (heavily shilled by Xbox), Nep virtual stars, Risk of Rain 2 and Deep rock galactic or just the last two games going off by threads made about it by then, Kingdoms of amalur re-reckoning also released in that period.

As for movies i haven't seen them very much but demon slayer was definitely a footnote.

>>718659709 (OP)
wtf dark souls 3 is 10 years old now?
where the fuck has the time gone....

The good news is people will stop making these retarded observations because every AAA game that came out after 2015 was completely forgettable.

>>718661645
Jesus this was just one year of a jump? How the hell was the Playstation so powerful?

>>718663369
This game output is just insane. Even if it was easier to release video games back in the day at a faster rate we still have to account for the fact that companies still had to make quality games or they would go under. So Squaresoft was putting out both quantity and quality games. I actually think there hasn't quite been a time for Japanese gaming like the 90's. They were on a whole other level of greatness that this industry has never sniffed again since.

Nintendo 64 games will be 30 next year.
