when did gaming peak? you never know when the good times will end until theyre over
>>724829097 (OP)
Games peaked in Bloodborne, there will never be another game as good as it
Late 90s/early 00s
Gaming stagnated past Gen 7

I mostly agree, going back to the 6th gen you see a lot of design around limitations of the tech, while 7th gen games are largely designed pretty much the same as new games today
>>724829097 (OP)
In the early 2010s. Some aspects were in decline but gaming had a massive boom in both popularity and availability. It was widely accepted but not yet babified for the masses. The major studios hadn't finished imploding.
Things have only gone downhill from there.

feels like early 2010s were the the last time most devs could actually optimize cramming GTAV, Dishonored, Rage 1 and stuff onto the 360 and PS3, now they beg for 30 GB of RAM to make their game run

I know this is controversial but I really do think it peaked in the 360/PS3/Wii/DS/PSP gen and not the Dreamcast/PS2/Gamecube/Xbox/GBA gen like people often say. I'm not even a zoomer.
Nextlander is the most cucked out shit I have ever seen.

In general there are no games we have today that couldn’t have been done on the 360 and PS3 just with worse graphics and longer loading times. The actual gameplay we get in games now is no different from 360 and PS3 era games.

Kinda feel the same. I used to watch them from day 1. I had an account the day the site opened and I used to watch them on gamespot before that. But looking back Jeff was always a rude asshole with a very high opinion of himself. Standard Californian.

it peaked around ~97-04 roughly, but gaming is still good now. old games still exist and our access to them is better than ever. Great games do still come out even if they're not the norm

mid 00s to early 10s for me
it might be better before the 00s but my parents were stingy so I only had a PS1 in like 2001, so I never really experienced that era and I won't pretend like I did
mid 10s I feel like not just video games but entertainment and pop culture just kinda left me behind, like my interest in a lot of things just waned. I still find gems here and there, but I'm definitely not part of the mainstream anymore

Early through mid 2000's.
Technology got much better but judaism and jeets hadn't overtaken the industry. It was still understood the main audience was boys and developers actually cared to appeal to them.
2004 had more good games than the ten years before or after it combined.

He was the video guy in the background. I don't remember exactly he may have even been an intern in the beginning but he bounced off everyone just fine so slowly started showing up in stuff until he was basically a normal member of the team. Some of my favorite GB content to this day is stuff with Drew and Dave.

Absolutely not. This was the generation that normalized paying to use your internet, releasing unfinished games and patching them later, on-disc dlc, and it was when Sony stopped making videogames and started making shitty movies. The Wii, PSP, and DS were all 90% shovelware and extremely overrated systems, as well. This was literally the first bad gaming generation since the crash in the 80's.

Alex and Jeff are literally childhood friends, he got his job at Gamespot through Jeff. The reason Jeff got ghosted is because being a good friend doesn't make you a good boss. Jeff owned Giant Bomb and clearly mismanaged the shit out of it, and in the end he got to go away with a big payday for selling the site while everyone else was left in the dust, that probably leaves some resentment. Jeff has even talked about the difficulties of being the boss of your friends

>Jeff was one of the first people to close in on the idea of video game wikis, squandered it by trying to be VideoGameTropes
>never figured out youtube success
theres probably other stuff he was on the forefront of, but yeah its pretty sad how much he squandered all that. he wanted to skirt this line of being a real deal journalism site and video game content production, when he should have just abandoned all the gay journalism trash. he had so many connections though, so he couldn't i guess. i also don't see a universe where i want to read up on every video game use of C-4, or every video game water level unless it's a youtube video

They did seem to steadily wane off how much they cared about the journalism stuff, but having been and continuing to be involved with the industry as only a journalist is was a big part of what kept them distinct from the fuckton of "creators" who followed them.

Yeah, I need one of you autists to give me a quick rundown of what everyone is doing
>Jeff: Streams occasionally to 200 sycophants. Managed to score a thick latina wife, 2 kids.
Has he actually completed the balding process? How has he had wispy thin hair for 25 years now?
>Vinny: Nextlander or something idk, I hope he's happy, I understand he chose family over being cool and funny, I get it. It's also genuinely sickening to me that Nextlander videos have comments disabled. I hope he cheats on his wife constantly with young NYC bpd pussy and she never finds out.
>Alex: Who cares/Nextlander
>Brad: I genuinely forgot he existed until I racked my brain. I have not heard 1 thing about him after GB. I still like Brad, but I find myself not caring what he's doing
>Abby: I watched her shitty youtube show once and it made me want to kill myself.
>Dan: Doing fine/I don't care
>Drew: Did okay with Cloth Map, hopefully doing cool things and what he wants
>Mary: She is married to me.
>Austin: I forgot this mother fucker even existed
>Patrick: Somehow still, the snowy picture is what I think of when I think of the word "annoying snot nosed faggot"
>Jason Oestricher: Forgot he existed/Is he dead/blind yet?
>Matthew Rorie: Forgot he existed/Is he in jail for dogfucking yet?

There's no joke about it; he was definitely OCD and cared far more about organizing his games than making money off Internet fame. Good or bad, Jeff only "played along" and had little problem selling off anything unrelated to gaming.

i honestly never felt like we peaked before the emergence of AI. now though, i fear this era right now is the peak before we plunge into an age of darkness. i've actually started to appreciate older games more now because i know every model, texture, instrument, light source, enemy placement, and sound effect was handmade or hand-chosen by a real human artist.

It doesn't make that much sense. It's so weirdly edgy coming from white bread Brad.
Jeff was always funny because despite being from California you can tell he had kind of a trashy upbringing. I enjoy his stories about when he was living out in a house in the sticks with collage girls when he was like 30. Throwing parties, getting drunk and shooting guns.

Unironically, 2015 was the end. Cyberpunk 2077 is pretty good but it didn't have the zeitgeist Witcher 3 had and it's not really better. 2014 was when gaming crashed, over GamerGate, which was, I believe, a CIA psy-op happening because of fear of the genuine power and autonomy of gamer culture falling too far outside of the political game-plan, and Bloodborne and Witcher 3 were just backburner releases from 2013 that got finished and shipped. They were the final games. along with picrel. That also really marked the end of times.

That was the crescendo. But for many years before it, there were large swaths of terrible games. There are very few 3d games that are in any way shape or form as 95/100+ games.
PS1/N64 era had the introduction of A+ 3d games. PS2/Xbox had the peak of 3d games and then the 360/PS3 era was trash. Then Bloodborne came out by itself. It was the only good game of the era.

Gaming is peaking right now! Video games has never been better than ever with truly amazing and stunning visuals that make your jaw drop, and gameplay that looks so polished and fluid you'll question how we ever got to this point. Can't forget to mention the amazing portable devices like the Switch 2 and the Steam Deck. With these, we can now play games like The Witcher 3 on the go! How amazing is that?! Gaming has truly come a long way from its humble roots as a small 80s fad that was viewed as nothing but a toy, and had it not been for Nintendo literally SAVING the entire industry back then, we wouldn't have video games at all, and I wouldn't know where I'd end up in my life. Crazy how stuff like that works out. I'm a gamer, not because I don't have a life, but because I choose to have many. Happy gaming everyone :)

I'd say the 2000s. Hardware was fast enough to experiment, and also unexpensible so it was adopted by the masses. This allowed for a HUGE torrent of games. Today hardware is way faster but also more complex and expensive, which made console/PC gaming more niche.

Brad does a tech podcast with one of the old whiskey media tested guys, Will Smith. He seems way more into general computer stuff like open source software, pc hardware and networking than he does video games. Ironically will seems more into video games than brad. I think he just does nextlander to pay the bills. They all are tainted by living in cali though, something about that place just makes you seem out of touch with the rest of the country the way they passively aggressively bitch about the current political climate despite having a very secure material life. For example, I hate when people talk about EVs like they are a no brainer and you're a bad person for not owning one when the reality is most people can't even afford a shitty used car now that they cost 10k minimum.

I can point to the specific game that sent gaming on a downward spiral.
1)It killed dedicated servers: before this game multiplayer gaming was between the player and the community that he could find in the public server of his choice. This created a friendly environment where the community itself was in charge of setting the limits and enforcing its own rules. Cheating only existed in servers that didnt have active admins and what was considered acceptable behavior was determined by esch community.
MW2 killed this and normalized multiplayer being between the player and a giant corporation that would hist servers and choose how could you behave and who you could play against.
2)It was the first AAA game to be made for consoles and then ported to Pc and not the other way around. This meant that every game from now on had to be developed with console hardware limitations in mind. So, while developing for PC meant the gameplay limitations were limited by the kewyboard bindings, after MW2 you had to stick to just the inputs that could be handled by a controller. Same thing with graphics, no point developing anything that wouldnt run on the ancient hardware of current gen consoles.
DLC: before this game, map packs werent even a thing, developers just released free shit with new patches.
So in a few words, this game killed old school multiplayer-community based gaming and changed it to a profit seeking-corporate bullshit- lowest common denominator hobby.

He usually spends first five minutes saying nothing, ad break, the next half an hour talking about being a father, ad break, then MAYBE 20 minutes about actually playing new vidya, ads, then the next hour and a half is news and emails. He doesn't bitch about politics that much but what does bother me is his clear bias towards people he has personal relationships with. Iron galaxy being one of them where the one guy is a friend of his and he softball interviewed them right before their terrible last of us pc port and then said nothing about it selectively next week even though that would absolutely be a topic he would kill time with normally

In reality, developers for this minigame wrote code that "if players reach 75 jumps, end all inputs and stop the game." It's not possible to continue and the minigame forcibly ends.

I think the first time I really noticed there was something wrong with them was when they started playing nothing but Mario Maker for hours at a time and giving it glowing reviews and making it game of the year or some shit because their fans were constantly making shit for them. I remember reading YouTube comments (which were generally just an echo chamber glazing their balls) where even there people started to say how the GB team's experience with the game wasn't indicative of everyone else's and how it felt a little dishonest.

at least when we talk about AAA
and in part due to 3 reasons:
1 - the c-suite suits and middle managers imposing stupid shit that crippled developers artistically along with their creative control
2 - braindrain by the suits who pushed out actual visionaries and replaced them with activistic pink haired yesmen (they both deserve one another as far as im concerned - both are leeches in this space)
3 - complacent consumers - they allowed things to spiral out of control and the suits just went along with it pushing the amount of shit they could get away with - even though some of us warned time and time again this how things would escalate
gaming journos also fucked it up for all of us
>>724866821
Yeah, some E3 after party. This trio shows up, like, 4 years in a row (and other GB shows). Jeff and Dave Lang were buds.
It's also the same year as the little guy got fired because of some completely drunk/evil/criminal? text he sent someone that he shouldn't have. I forget.

Objectively 1990-2015. You can go even erlier to rogue (1980) if you want but everything after 2015 was just misery-porn. Even graphics somehow managed to regress.

They did, like, a 24hr live stream for a holiday and they played something like 4-6 hours of Halo during that. Whenever Drew was playing something (on UPFs), it was some sort of simulator. Usually transportation or Halo.
He did a Metal Gear Solid with Dan, too.

Funnily enough, as a CRPG enthusiast we’re probably in the middle of a second peak. There was the BG1-DAO “BioWare/Black Isle/Troika” era, and now we’re in the “Larian/Owlcat/Obsidian(more talking Pillars and Tyranny here)/a bunch of others” era. The downswing of CRPGs coincides closely with the 360/PS3 boom of the console market which is probably the golden age for a lot of people.

Peaked early 00's with the PS2 era. Began to decline with the Xbox360 era. Don't mistake decline to mean it was all bad though however. Still had gems coming out every now and then with the likes of Bioshock, ME trilogy, RDR etc. Around 2013 however it was in full terminal decline with the PS4 launch and gaming hasn't been the same since.
Coincidentally the decline in video games coincides with the decline in the internet. 00's internet was just absolute peak. A fucked up part of me even misses Gaia of all things. Anyone remember when prior to reddit, the go-to insult on 4chan was "gb2gaia"?
