With only six months left in the year and a total lack of any games that will be remotely good enough to qualify coming out in that time, let's start talking about what the best game of the twenty tens was. This decade was pretty lame in terms of games, but there have been enough good ones to warrant discussing. For reference, this includes some (but not all) PS3/360/Wii/DS/PSP titles, all PS4/Bone/Wii U/Switch/3DS and a very small number of PS2 games. First release date will be used to determine which decade a game came out in.
The contenders I can think of offhand is Mount & Blade: Warband, New Vegas, Dragon's Dogma, Dark Souls, Xenoblade, EDF, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, and New Mystery of the Emblem.

Game of the decade is a tough nut to crack since it's such a broad catagory, and I'm doubtful there's any consensus as to what was the best game of the 90s or 00s. Xenoblade and New Vegas are fine choices, OP, I guess the bias in RPGS from your contenders is that RPGs stick in our minds longer than a platformer or a shooter. If I really had to pick, I would say XB. I've just spent more hours overall in it than with NV, both being great games. There were quite a few games this decade/generation where I thought they were really great when I 1st played them, but turned out not to be the masterpieces I held up on a second run. Biggest criminal here being SMG2. I will echo >>16540398 's sentiments, that the next decade of gaming is not likely to improve in terms of quantity of good games.

Subjective or not, you can still take a large sample size of gamer opinions and make conclusions based on that. Allowing us to see which games they collectively rate higher than other games, on average. Super Mario Galaxy 2 was not only rated highly by critics, but also enjoyed a high average score amongst your typical gamers. Followed closely only by its successor (Super Mario Odyssey) in second place.
So if you were to gift either of these two games to a friend who's never played them, there is a high 90-97% chance they might enjoy playing Galaxy 2 or Odyssey.

Nintendos aren't your typical gamer, they're a cult at this point and too many of them. I doubt the general "gaming" demographic overlaps with the nintendo demographic, they're probably completely separated circles in a venn's diagram

I would also like to propose a similar category, for the most influential game of the decade(not this does not mean the game is good), as in the game that spawned an entire genre/subgenre, or had extensive modding community, or was copied by all other games(think Call of Duty) or was compared to all of them. There are many games that can fit this bill, such as Skyrim, Fortnite(though it came a bit late), maybe GTA V, but my pick is Minecraft

You can't get a more casual friendly game company than Nintendo, and a more well-known character/series than Mario. Mario is vidya to a great extent.

I was just thinking and I realized that this decade really was messed up. Just look at mystery games. Every last mystery game franchise is dead, and nearly all of them died deaths fans see as undignified.
>Zero Escape died from a COMPLEX third game
>Layton died from a relatively shitty sixth game, a cancelled mobile game and ultimately a really shitty daughteru game that is intentionally easier and more boring than the regular games to appeal to girls with mobile phones, and even then the cute daughteru's CV was replaced in the anime, so now her one redeeming quality of being a cute girl with a voice like her father is completely gone
>Danganronpa died from being FICTION
>Ace Attorney isn't dead, just homeless with the death of the 3DS, and the last arc in the story sealed off the sixth game as the end of a second trilogy
>DGS, the ace attorney sister series, is confirmed dead since it only being sold in Japan meant lower sales
Detective Pikachu is the only major mystery game series with a confirmed sequel RIGHT NOW

Overload, no doubt. It's a spiritual successor to Descent made on Unity while being actually optimized. Just the best in almost every respect compared to its competitors, in terms of enemy behavior, level design, enemy AI, and weapon variety too.
However nobody talks about it because it doesn't have a memeretro visual style, the zero gravity 6DoF gameplay gives faggots motion sickness, nor are the devs antifa for anyone to get outraged over and give it more attention.

It plays like a mixture of Heretic and Quake. It is very well designed overall, the only complaint I have is the episodes each have their own enemy roster, which means you'll face the same 4 enemy types for 3 levels at a time, then the roster changes completely on the next episode. There are going to be 7 episodes if I remember right, so this isn't really an issue, just a nitpick. I haven't played Dusk yet, I've heard mixed things about it. Ion Maiden was pretty good too but I only played a little of it, there were optimization issues in beta but I heard they have been ironed out.

Xenoblade is pretty weak compared to the other games in the Xeno- metaseries in a lot of ways. Everything about it is really just pretty good, not amazing or anything. That's probably for the best, as anything more ambitious probably would have got Monolith Soft shut down for being a giant waste of space, as every other Xeno- fuck up fucked them over. Ironically Xenoblade X has a lot more ambition, but it also fell victim to Takahashi's ambition, only for it to not deliver on it. Thankfully Xenoblade 2 was just Xenogears plot wise, but with all the elements remixed, not cripplingly depressing, and with significantly more cute girls. I could go on analyzing how Takahashi treats his "ideal woman" but that's not really relevant to the thread. I guess what I'm saying is Wonderful 101 is the game of the decade because I can neither think of a better game I've played, nor can I think of anything significantly negative about it.

I mostly agree with this sentiment. The Dark Souls series (1-3) is entirely encapsulated in a single decade, ran counter to a lot of the changing standards in the industry (for the most part), and if it didn't exactly define a new genre, did create and showcase a series of tropes that are distinctly associated with it, and which many other games tried to copy. My personal favorite game of the decade is Hollowknight, and even it is considered to have borrowed tropes/mechanics from Dark Souls.
Minecraft is a good pick too, if the criteria isn't quality but influence. Minecraft created an entire industry of LPers on Youtube who basically catered to hordes of autistic children in the millions. It also kicked off (or at least gave a huge boost to) the trend of survival games, building games, and dozens of copycats. Minecraft is a household name that anyone would recognize.
By that same criteria, Skyrim is also a candidate, but fuck skyrim.

It perfectly describes the game you are going to play as you literally hack and slash everything, the same way in a first person shooter you go around shooting everything, its not a description of what the game is but what you do in the game, horror describes what a game is, but not what you do in it. most hack and slash games involve 3rd person melee action.

I'm fine with considering Soulslikes, or whatever term is acceptable for them, their own (sub) genre. They have very distinct level design and progression that I don't really see much or at all in other games. Lots of hidden dangers and ambushes, secrets that aren't at all obvious in some cases and level design that is filled with narrow, dangerous paths that lead to a death if you fall (unlike in for example Zelda where falling into a pit respawns you in the same room with some minor damage). Also fairly large areas that are connected, unlike games where the previous room stops existing once you go through a door like, again, Zelda. Lots of enemies that capitalize on those dangerous areas. Also a lot of vertical differences for a game with a nonexistent or practically nonexistent jumping ability.
Of course, I've only played Demons' and Dark Souls and Nioh. But those games are extremely similar in general flow and level design to the point where I would consider them their own subgenre. Maybe the other Niohbornelikes are different.
I fully expect someone to strawman the shit out of this post by claiming that I'm saying that Souls invented traps, rather than that the overall package is clearly distinct.

Why would you like a perpetuation of franchises that should be dead already? Specially with Danganronpa, V3 was a mistake, and it was a desperate scream of "let me fucking die already" since Danganronpa ended with Danganronpa 3, as it should have. Same with franchises like Deponia that ended in 3 but Doomsday was a way to tell the fans to fucking leave it.
I understand being frustrated about no mystery games, but I'd rather have original IPs or a comeback of old point and click mystery adventures or even Hotel Dusk than just dragging around the ones that are already famous. Ace Attorney over extended itself with 3 more game in the main serie.

I'm not upset about the loss of the series since SDR2 was the only game in it I really loved, I'm just amazed at the current state of the genre.

Demon's Souls is the last great game made period. It was the true link to the past great games and the clones that came after. It brought challenge back into the spotlight as well as spirited dueling and brotherly companionship. Only held back by the PS3 and the company that had no faith in it, it still resonated and rekindled true gamer call to adventure. If you disagree with me, know that I have a heart of gold and will not let you take it away from me.

They're unique aesthetically but not mechanically. In fact it's comparable to a Metroid game in a lot of ways, you go through an area, explore it for secrets, said area has hidden passages into other areas, etc. I guess Metroid did not have as many traps, so it's more like a cross between that and a dungeon crawler, or maybe a game like Enclave.

Since you're basically asking "what is the Doom of this decade" I would probably have to go with Minecraft. It was rather influential (in terms of getting new people into video games), spawned a big mod community, got ported to literally everything and was and still is incredibly popular.

One of the main problems DNF has is that it has the same problem as the Deadpool movies: Duke is funny because he's like Ash Williams, he's the one funny element in an otherwise completely serious set of events. Deadpool is supposed to break the 4th wall, say stupid shit, and generally be a sociopathic asshat. Problem is most of the cast in both movies are… sociopathic asshats who are trying to be funny. Colossus ends up being a better Deadpool because he sticks out like a sore thumb and his values are 100% in opposition to everyone else present.

Fuck it, i liked Dark Souls the most but "best?" Probably Minecraft. Like whatever you want to say, it upheaved the gaming industry. As much as I love nier or dmc, Minecraft shaped more games than any other this decade. An impressive feat really. Fucking journo fags would probably put Witcher 3 there, or one of the telltales or some indy shit noone remembers. But Minecraft had a damned effect, enough that microsoft shat a fortune on one man for it. Every kid in the west knows about it, its music will be remembered fondly generations from now as comfy tunes the same way you might feel about mario or halo music.
Its aesthetic hit at the perfect time, it spread organically with like 0 advertising outside of word of mouth or youtubers playing it. Its probably the most important game in 20 years. There are better games enjoyed by autists like me, but none of those had anywhere near the effect or reach this accident did.

The only real standout game that I have played from this decade is LISA the Painful, but that game is also obviously flawed.
Looking at the list of other games that I've played I think the most solidly great one would be Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Some of the challenge badges in that game are extremely fun. The game is not as remarkable as many from the previous decades but that is what it is.
I think the western theme is weaker but hopefully Desperados 3 will be even better.
Dark Souls and Revengeance were highlights, but not quite THAT good.
Ive got some hopes for Bloodborne, Nier Automata and DKC Tropical Freeze which I have yet to play.
Hopefully there are some other greats out there that I have yet to play as well, as much as I like Shadow Tactics it shouldn't be the game of the decade.

You ain't even said shit about any games, all you've done is reply to people. What fucking good have you been? Talk about some video games, ya wanker. Here, I'll do it and then you'll tell me everything I say is shit and bad, and prove my point. See the problem is that there's so many games that people could talk about, but then you get bogged down in the minutiae of people arguing over whether or not this game or that is good. Hell you could have pointed out the counter to what I said, which is there IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OBJECTIVE TASTE. All taste is subjective, because they come from only the viewpoint of the one expressing it.
Games that came out in the last decade that didn't suck total ass? Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Warframe. You remember Warframe, don't ya? /v/ were the first ones in the fucking game, and the game was predicted to fail by EVERYONE In the gaming industry. But it's still around. Still monetizes its shit in the right way, which is to sell cosmetics no one needs and everything else is obtainable in gameplay. But I guess we won't talk about Warframe.
Rocksmith came out and shattered everything people thought they knew about music and rhythm games by being the only music and rhythm game to actually use real guitars. Imagine that, a game that can teach you a real world skill while getting better at the game's mechanics. I know a few guys who started off not knowing what the fuck a nut was, and now they're able to play just about any song on the guitar just by ear from Rocksmith. The 2010s have been a real transformative decade for gaming, because we went from trying to get 3D spaces right to trying to get the input devices right, and we did a pretty decent job on that. By no surprise Rocksmith has a ton of DLC that can be expensive, because licensing real music for your rhythm game is expensive.
The Castlevania franchise which had been stagnant finally got shed by its creator who created something new that's about to release, the Castlevania franchise has transformed into Bloodstained.
Ya got Darkest Dungeon which is a great strategy RPG unlike anything that came before it. Tales of Maj'Eyal reinventing the roguelike genre in new ways. The rhythm roguelike known as Crypt of the Necrofucker. Yume Nikki came to Steam, making it accessible to everyone finally and for free without needing to modify your fucking system settings.
Grim Dawn and Path of Exiles are the closest things to a true Diablo III that we'll ever get, and nobody even thought to talk about it. Somehow there was no mention at all of E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy, a game from 2011. You want to talk about the games that defined the decade, but then the OP talks about derivatives and sequels. New Vegas was a buggy pile of shit like everything else that Bethesda publishes.
Not a word about Dirt or the Truck Simulator games, despite hwo comfy and fun they are to play. No one mentioned The Long Dark. Just another thread that only concerns itself with shit published by big name companies. Dark Souls was a great trilogy, sure, but so was Bloodborne and that iddn't get a mention in the OP.
People like >>16540398 >>16540805 these cocksuckers right here is the reason why I (and anyone else) would have doubts on the merit of discussing video games, memory holing and selectively chooses to remember Dark Souls as a bad thing. He mentioned fucking Minecraft, which is a god damn 2009 release, making it not even relevant in games of this decade.
Only one person mentioned Nioh, yet you get people talking in Nioh threads about Nioh like it mastered the Souls-like franchise in a way that Dark Souls did not. /v/ is where people who have given up go to be among other people who have given up. You could love games, but you're too busy being miserable assholes.

The actual 1.0, which I guess one could consider the actual first version of the game (all others had been extremely in development and shit, even if 1.0 was still called an alpha) was released on June 30 2010, so TECHNICALLY you could count MC as a 2010's game, seeing how one usually doesn't count mere indev releases as the actual game. it's like if the new Pokemon game was started in 2029 but didn't finish development and was shipped fully until 2030, technically it's a game of the 2030s not 2020s.

It's more about why Rebirth is better. Rather than being an mess of bad 2D effects and bad 3D that obscures platforming collision zones all mashed together with terrible sound effect mixing, Rebirth is the first and only Contra game to ever have a competent scoring system. That alone was a monumental achievement. Sorry flam but ASW is simply out of M2's league. All they really (used to) know is how to make fighting games.

The graphics are not bad and it's never an issue to tell what's part of the background and foreground and whether or not you can collide with it.
>Terrible sound mixing
Mind explaining because that's something I'm not the best judge of.
>Competent scoring system
I don't have an argument for this because I never cared about scores in games. I care more about things like 1CCing a game or time challenges than score. I never pay attention to scoring unless it counts towards getting more lives or bombs and whatnot. I wouldn't mind hearing why you think Rebirth's scoring system is better.
Now let's talk about gameplay, the shit that matters. In Uprising you have dashing, multiple jumps, air dashing, bullet reflection, bullet dodging, enemy dodging (which you can shoot while doing), vaulting, rushing into objects and using the impact to destroy enemies, the ability to lock your aim while moving, The ability to shoot forward while moving backwards, weapons that upgrade when you collect it again. The game does so fucking much and gives you so many options in movement and control. It's the most fluid run and gun I've ever played and I wish there more games that had controls as smooth as Uprising. Along with having a top tier soundtrack, decent art, and being difficult makes Uprising one hell of a game.
I really like Rebirth, but it's not as good as Uprising in gameplay and music.
>>16551147
You never made the argument that Rebirth was a better game this decade, you just stated that it was a better game. Hardly reason to retract your argument.

The 2010s were a weird time. Like many of you, I spent a lot of time isolated and depressed, and these are just a few of the great games that helped me make it through.
This decade saw a full paradigm shift as AAA companies slowly became kusoge propaganda machines, and AA/indie devs started to pick up their slack. Past 2015, there have been very, very few good AAA releases.
I predict this trend will continue to accelerate well into the 2020s. As the megacorps and their cash cows grow further out of touch with everyday people, we'll just start making more and more stuff for ourselves and each other.
There's nothing cool about being a jaded burnout, /v/. Good games are still coming out as often as ever, you're just numbing yourself from enjoying them and clinging to the past. If you want good games in your future, make them, and support others who make them. The future is ours to control.

It's not that they all sucked, it's that most good games nowadays reiterate upon older games and barely have any production values.
Most here lived in a time where even popular videogames were good games and were actually innovative despite corporate kikery meddling and many times, strict deadlines.
Most also tried to immerse you in their world instead of going full meta on your ass.
I mean, fuck sakes lad, we went from shitton of genre and platform variety with actual evolution of hardware and software to 1/5 of a broken game you've played before being sold at 60 dollars with microtransactions while the only platform actually worth owning is a PC, most genres being dead or slowly dying and pure stagnation on the hardware and software front.
All of it in less than 10 years
Many people here saw what videogames could be, the potential they had to entertain with great quality, and instead we saw it become worse than Hollywood in half a fucking decade.

Its a nice list you've got there and all but none of the ones that I have played from it are worthy of being the best game of a decade. Ye the decade has not been terrible, there are a lot of great games being released these days, but none of them really reach that next level of brilliance. If Dark Souls had been a finished and polished game then maybe that, but its not.

Minecraft was in alpha in 2009. Its 1.0 release was in 2011. So I'm right and you're not faggot.
The 2010s were an awful decade for games and the only "substantial" games were shit like Life is Strange and Last of Us which are more focused on being badly written movies than they are on being games.

Smaller production values from indie passion projects have resulted in more amazing games but fewer decent ones since you have autistic visionary devs that aren't limited by publishers, marketers, and to some extent technology.

Name a better FPS that came out in the last decade. If it has shitscan, no singleplayer, or regenerating health then it is disqualified. Those two games are incredibly simple, of course, but they're still fun for what they are in the way that Tetris and Pac Man can be really fun. I'd rather play them than almost any other FPS since there really aren't a lot of good shooters out there, even old school ones.
And no, these games don't deserve to be put on a pedestal, just considered. Almost all indie games are absolute garbage and aren't worth any amount of attention, but there's always exceptions. There's just more exceptions with indie games since they don't have to fight publishers to release something with niche appeal.

"Production values" are the enemy of quality game development. The more money you spend on shit that has nothing to do with game design, the less risk you can take on game design due to needing to recoup the losses in other areas. There is a direct relationship between ancillary production cost and the amount of pandering to the last common denominator a game must undertake. How anyone can not see this and still be a retarded graphic whore in the year 2019 is mystifying.

The story was unforgivable, but the actual reason it's a bad game is because it has fuck-all for content and spends its budget winching its head up its own ass to remind you that the previous games happened. Even the back of the box advertises the game as "steeped in lore".
Fucking Namco, one of Ace Combat's strengths was that you always had a new corner of the world to explore and learn about. This is just rehashing literally everything about AC04 and making constant nods to 5, while adding practically nothing new or interesting. They had the absolute fucking audacity to give us that shitbird 'new' X02 variant (which has so little changed I had to actually compare the images of them) and make the closest thing to a new plane (which is just a Falken variant) DLC. And then they made it overpowered as fuck by replacing its machine gun with what is considered a special weapon to other planes (the pulse laser), and permitted it in PvP.
Absolute shitshow. They took every wrong lesson from Infinity and ran with them. At this point I hope the series dies before they ruin it further.

Not 20 decades ago you underage fuck, and there's no ambition anymore, not even from smaller devs.
I just finished the Starship Troopers FPS, it's graphically outdated, even for the time, the sound mixing is awful and the game design is broken on some parts.
And yet it has more ambition and is more enjoyable to play than 90% of games today.

Agreed. It was truly the worst period – everything was shit, and I mean everything. You had like 2 or 3 games in a year that were even worth playing. Since then, things very slowly got better, only they also got more jewish. I am glad that indies and AAs are starting to come back, as they're the ones improving things, while AAA just keeps shitting the bed over and over again
