What do you think of this decade in gaming? I think it started out great, had some very good looking titles but as it went on the focus on brown and bloom became more and more of a cancerous growth until 2007 when every dev and their grandma started trying to kill cod. We've also seen MMORPGs go from MUDs to ultima online to WoW and the thousands of copies it spawned.

The PS2 era, right? I think it was the golden age of vidya followed by the SNES. More games were polished, devs were putting out classic after classic, some of the best games of all time were released, JRPGs were still the hot topic, Devil May Cry 3 and God Hand became a thing, games were actually innovative, etc.

Despite all of /v/'s memeing, it was great and was possibly the real golden age of vidya during which games developed both technologically and gameplay-wise, but got gradually worse as time went on due to increased popularity of games.

Things were good, games didn't take 5 years to come out. You know how many Rockstar games the PS4 is gonna see? One.

Japan took a nose dive but there was still some good niche weebshit. Oh and online gaming, micro transactions and Twitch hadn't made vidya into the cancer it is today.

Great year, like a last hurrah of the 90's, Deus Ex, Majora's Mask, FF IX, Chrono Cross, Shenmue, and lots of other cool Dreamcast games, also the PS2 launch but it had basically nogaemz besides Timesplitters until spring/summer 2001.

>2001

Phenomenal year, Gamecube and Xbox launch with the killer apps Halo and Melee, and lots of other great games in their own right, PS2 really starts taking-off with a fuckload of banger exclusives like FFX, MGS2, GTA3, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, Soul Reaver 2, Devil May Cry, Ico, Gran Turismo 3, Jak & Daxter, Red Faction, etc. Oh and the GBA comes out which is a great handheld but fuck that dark screen it had.

>2002

Another great year, other consoles besides the PS2 really start to come into their own with some badass exclusives, and there are some really good PC games like MOH Allied Assault and Mafia.

>2003

Another great year, overstuffed with a fuckload of games many of which didn't really sell great but are looked back on fondly.

>2004

Another phenomenal year, for both the consoles and the PC. Consoles get Halo 2, MGS3, Paper Mario TTYD, Metroid Prime 2, Spider-Man 2, etc. while the PC gets Rome: Total War, The Sims 2, Half-Life 2, UT2K4, Far Cry, WoW, and lots of others. DS also launches which is pretty cool.

>2005

PSP launches which is nice but holy fuck look at all the games! I could talk about 2005 forever.

>2006

Good year for games, but not as memorable as the two previous years imo. The PS3 launch was a trashfire and the Wii's wasn't much better considering Nintendo was doing the artificial scarcity bullshit for the first time, encouraging scalping and frustrating people into buying them all up as soon as they hit shelves.

>2007

The year it all went wrong… still some good games that came out this year but what else can I really say?

>2008

A sad year where the course of this generation was decided, and it would be going in an unpleasent direction filled with kikery and boring games.

>2009

Some good games this year too, but you could tell DLC and other shit was really starting to rear its ugly head.

>2010

Probably the last great year for games, out of pure luck more than anything. After this is pretty much just a blur of the same shit which brings us to today.

I'm afraid he's right.

The Japanese culture does not consider truth as sacrosanct, at least at as much as westerners in the enlightenment period did. Westerners that get to know them tend be baffled at how much hypocrisy is woven within their etiquette. Examples: Japanese have a habit of saying 'I'll think about it later' when they really mean 'No way!' and making empty invitations to hang out as a sign of amity even if they don't intend to hang out at all.

Plus, their tendency to preserve group harmony at the expense of pretty much anything and their submissiveness toward their superiors (who are not obliged to be truthful when it benefits them) make the average Japanese disinterested in seeking out truth. The Japanese media industry is no exception to this. The Fukushima disaster back in 2011 was one good example; the engineers tasked to operate the reactors did not halt the reactors after finding them being damaged for fear of their managers who demanded them to keep the reactors running.

Finally, ask yourselves, how many Japanese whistleblower have you heard in your lifetime?

Steam didn't really become relevant until around 2007. Before that it was just HL2's fancy DRM with a games list/server browser feature. I remember when I got The Orange Box and used a non-cracked version of Steam for the first time it had like 30 games on it and literally no one I knew had an account on it.

Steam got popular when GFWL started to be pushed hard and became present in most games.

I think it got popular automatically when Half-Life 2 was released exclusively for Steam.

Not popular. Everyone HATED Steam. But everyone also wanted to play Half-life and CS.

>Popular

It was constantly shat on

Orange Box might have helped plus lots of publishers opting for it over GFWL which was broken as all hell and barely worked.

Not Half Life 2
