/games/ - Games

Last console I owned was a 360 lol. I can play all those games on computer now. Only reason I ever had a console was because you couldn't get the same games on computer.

The 7th generation was the last with video games that established a true canon in the industry (Minecraft, COD 4, Gears of War, Demon/Dark Souls, Borderlands 2, Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, Far Cry 3 etc…) although being a generation inferior to the 6th and being the beginning of the modern cancers of the industry. The 8th generation is an extension of the 7th and the 9th is a generation of nothing. I think the only games worth playing this generation (not indie) are Elden Ring and Baldur Gate 3 and some others depending on your tastes like Lies of P, Unicorn Overlord and Hi-Fi Rush but not much more. The post-pandemic hit the video game industry very hard, especially in the West. I think this is the best video that explains the current situation: https://youtu.be/Y2QgQtoGHRY?si=ULDJQkFCeoGxxg8F

6th was the absolute best
7th was the last decent one

Everything went to shit after 7th

I got a switch and I was very disappointed with it.

xbox sales have fallen off a cliff now in a totally predictable outcome of having all their games be on PC, but I'm happy as a pc user obviously

I opted out of console gaming after the PS4 and never looked back. Before that it was a mix of consoles and PC for me.

i sold my switch to my sister for like 100 bucks and that's only because she insisted on giving me money. honestly the only "console" i regularly play is a small cheap chinese handheld which i carry with me around to play FFIV and GameBoy zelda games, god gaming is truly dead lol

I still prefer the current era of rollslop and gachaslop to pic related doe.

Same. I only bought it for Battlefront (Even got the console with Darth Vaders face on it) to relive the glory days with buddies. What a letdown

Resistance was a little colorful depending on the level
Chicago in 2 was super fun, I love going to Chicago in games

Yeah, but it's best to never return to the era of military shooters or the plague of generic shooters in general. It's hilarious to see the United States soft power in video games and everything else being completely destroyed while China wins without doing anything.
My self from 13 years ago would have wished to live in a today like this.

RE5 was pretty damn fun and I thought it looked good. The piss filter might've been a little excessive but it worked.

True RE5 is kino

>>40727
Nah it sucked

After RE4 the series went to shit and only started to be good again from RE8 onwards
