In 2005 I went to university. A lot of shit has happened since then. I've basically been too busy studying or working to play vidya since then. I'm now at a point where I'm financial secure and have loads of free time again.

Can anyone catch me up on what I've missed out on/what are the best things to look up to play? Basically, the last game I played was FFX and the last system I had was a PS2.

You might as well stick to the PS2 and any games you can find for it, almost everything has gone to shit since then.

FFXIV is pretty fucking good. I've been playing it a ton recently with the newest expansion they released a few months back.

Dude, this amazing game came out in 2011, it's like the best game ever and you'll never play anything else after you try it. Look it up it's called "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim". Sadly it didn't get a PS2 release but you mentioned being "economically secure" so I strongly suggest you buy all the consoles it's been released on, and each console's version of it for the full experience. Trust me, you won't regret it.

pirate everything before you buy it, as a test if it's good

Don't bother buying season passes, they don't even include all of the DLC anymore

Wait until a bit after a game's come out then pirate the complete game with all extra DLC included, rather than be nickle and dimed for every piece

if you have kids keep them off the internet

This list should help you a bit, up until 2014, I will presume you now have a PC. If you still want to play on PS2, there is the second chart as well, hell you can even emulate most PS2 games on PC, right now so there's that. Anyway some recent post 2005 games, that I enjoyed in no particular order

>Bayonetta

>Metal Gear Rising

>Dragon's Dogma

>Dark Souls

>Nier(sadly no PC port)

>Ys series(some of the games got remakes after 2005)

>Fallout New Vegas

>Dishonest

>Dragon Age Origins

>Ace Attorney series on emulated DS

>Ghost Trick on emulated DS

>FEAR

>Killing Floor with friends

You can watch the E3 conference, that is starting today, on a livestream with /v/ if you want to see the current state of gaming, while also making fun of it. Ironically, I am mostly playing emulated PS2 and Ps1 games nowadays.

Ignore all todd-posters.

All shilling, even ironic shilling, is still shilling. Just like being retarded and pretending to be retarded are the same thing.

It's an attempt to create a cult of personality around a corporate figurehead.

> but it's just a funny maymay lighten up

It's not funny, it's basically a psyop and you're either a shill or you've fallen for it.

If you like funny maymays so much go dab in the corner after completing your le epic troll XD for being such a funny todd-posting faggot.

I'm surprised that you're around here but don't know about the state of the industry, OP. Times have fucking changed now. Games are hardly fun anymore and are mostly a platform for (((political commentary))) from SJWs and kikes trying to turn vidyo into interactive movies. You may find the rare good game every now and then, but there's always some sort of issue attached to everything now. Hell, you came around at a particularly great time; stick around for the E3 threads, and you'll see exactly what we mean.

You could check out these

>The Ace Combat Holy Trinity (04, 5, Zero for the PS2, great arcadey flight sims)

>Every PS2 Shin Megami Tensei (Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, Raidou games, ignore Persona if you're not a weeb)

>Sengoku Rance (PC, porn game but a legitimately, unironically great grand strategy-lite game)

>Kamidori Alchemy Meister (PC, also a porn game that is bretty gud, like Fire Emblem combined with a shopkeeping sim)

>Cave Story (PC and modern consoles, freeware, platformer about a robot exploring caves)

>Iji (PC, free indie game, aliens invade the earth, and one of the last human survivors becomes an android in hopes of telling the aliens to fuck off or making them fuck off)

>Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden (PC, free indie game, meme game that is pretty short and worth a laugh or two)

>Ghost Trick (DS, puzzle game where you control a ghost trying to find out why he was murdered, uncovering a large plot from beyond the grave)

>SMT: Devil Survivor 1 (DS, SRPG where demons invade Japan forcing the gov't to LOCK IT DOWN, a group of teenagers get stuck in the lockdown - they struggle to survive while they try to find a way to escape the lockdown)

>SMT: Strange Journey (DS, turn based RPG where you enter a desolate demon-filled world that appeare din Antarctica to save the Earth from an invasion, ignore the gay remake for 3DS if you can)

>E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy (PC, FPS where you play as a futuristic culter and fuck shit up while gaining lods of dosh, hard to get into but a fucking blast if you get used to it)

>S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC, FPS where you explore a harsh world known as The Zone, buggy but you can add a bug fixing mod to it)

>Alpha Protocol (PC/PS3/XB360, RPG about being a spy, very subpar and buggy but has AMAZING decision making that actually impacts the story until the end, it's one of the few games where that meme has actually been delivered)

>Nier (PS3/XB360, action RPG about world's greatest dad protecting his daughteru)

>Nier: Automata (PC/PS4/Xbone, action RPG about android sluts and a shota fighting against alien robots millenia after the first game)

>Bayonetta (PC/PS3/XB360, action-intense game ala DMC from the same director of the first one)

>Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (PC/PS3/XB360, CUHRAYZEE game where you control an android Raiden going on a fucking rampage against roboterrorists)

>Vanquish (PC, PS3, XB360, TPS where you GO FAST and shoot shit while you go fast)

>Dragon's Dogma (PC/PS3/XB360, action RPG where you have to hunt a dragon for stealing your heart and where you also learn that wolves hunt in packs)

>Hotline Miami (PC and every modern console I believe, fast action game where you kill russian mobsters to a radical soundtrack)

>Valkyria Chronicles (PC and modern consoles, weeb strategy action game about fantasy WW2 with 20 lbs. of tits and ass)
