Yeah, but by what actual metric? Is it normieshit? Literally-who indieshit with 10 people that rated it 10/10?
>He says this while posting the 4th entry of the Persona series or notably the second Hashino Persona entry in the Hashino trilogy.
lmao
Don't forget that Persona 4 was only successful because it was riding off the hype and goodwill Persona 3 left
BG3 is good despite the woke shit, which is really all it needs to be. I wish it wasnt in there either and I wish they didnt thrust disgusting zoomer haircut abominations into every faction, but the gameplay is still fun, the story is still fun and theres options for straight white people so its still ok.

Who said they weren't allowed? "professional" reviewers are a joke and have been for decades. These days you can just look up gameplay footage and decide if the game looks like it would be fun to play or not instead of relying on a professional shill that shits out whatever opinion his boss approved.
i don't give a fuck about the opinions of critics who cant play games and are a bunch of retards into politics and modern homosexualry
This year was a 6/10 at best
For me it has been one long rotten decade. 2010 was the last time I was really enjoying new stuff. Definitely were a few bright spots but they were few and far between. 2023 had a lot of AAA content but most of it was goy trash. That said, I'm glad covid was able delay a lot of these projects. A lot of them could have used even more time in the oven but I'll take what I can get.
its pretty decent. not great, not terrible. Which says a lot about the state of gaming in this past decade. you can literally put your hand in a gamer bin limited to only 2023 vidya and you easily find something good to play. not all of them but some of them.

Anyone realize how easy it is to influence opinions on Ganker? Since we know this is contrarian central all OP has to do is mention that a group that this place dislikes holds some opinion and you get hundreds of replies trying to argue the opposite.
Take some youtuber opinion and simply post it and expect Ganker to take the other stance. It's that easy.
COVID developments all shotgun blast came out at the same time because publishers were losing money from people no longer being locked down. What's sad is the good games could have been even better without that anomaly.
>Do you agree?
Do you even really have to ask us?
It's pretty obvious no one fucking agrees with this, they're just trying to gaslight people into thinking there are good games released today (there aren't).

This is the best overall year for several years, you'd probably have to go back to 2017 to find competition. But this year is probably not even in the top 10 best years for videogames. This would be considered an average year for basically any year from 2000-2010, and that's not even getting into legendary years like 1998.
2017 and 1998 were better.
Agreed.
You mean 2001 and 2019
>2023 has the most rabid fanboys reviewspamming 100s
Definitely isn't the best ever, but I would agree that it's the best in at least a decade.
Reviewers don't know fucking jack shit.
>scores 90 or more on a tleast one platform
Yeah, but by what actual metric? Is it normieshit? Literally-who indieshit with 10 people that rated it 10/10?
What games. I can't even name one that isn't some rehash or sequel trash

>He says this while posting the 4th entry of the Persona series or notably the second Hashino Persona entry in the Hashino trilogy.
lmao
Don't forget that Persona 4 was only successful because it was riding off the hype and goodwill Persona 3 left
Uh...yes, I said that while posting the 4th entry.
Why exactly is that a problem?
And it became more successful than 3 because it was a better game.
Persona 4 is better than 3
No. But it needs to be new in order to be new.
A remake just winning the original's old awards all over again is just silly.
How exactly does it need to be new then?
Not being a remake. Not being a rerelease.
You know. A new game.
So it does need to be a new IP then.
Did I say that? No. So why are you acting as if I did?
Calm down, schizo.
Because people are gravitating towards rating things higher. 4/5 is now consist awful, people rate things 10 or 1.
here's your masterpieces bros
People really like shit.
Lets see the user scores instead
wtf just remakes and rereleases
Dont like Baldurs gate but its the only one of these games that deserves more than 90
I'd like it more if there wasn't so much fag shit in it.
BG3 is good despite the woke shit, which is really all it needs to be. I wish it wasnt in there either and I wish they didnt thrust disgusting zoomer haircut abominations into every faction, but the gameplay is still fun, the story is still fun and theres options for straight white people so its still ok.
Zelda probably too, but with a caveat of it being a dlc.
>Mario Wonder and SF6 don't deserve higher than 90
I'm thoroughly convinced that this board doesn't actually like games.

HAHAHAHAHAH
I bet an entire generation of zoomers just realized that reviews are paid for, purely from D4 alone
This year absolutely blows except the game releases, so people are hyper fixated on them.
>2023 is the best year for video games
For video games? Maybe. For the gamers themselves? Fuck no.
No
Why aren't they allowed to review games? What makes Cerealkillaz reviews more legit than ones from 3DM?
Who said they weren't allowed? "professional" reviewers are a joke and have been for decades. These days you can just look up gameplay footage and decide if the game looks like it would be fun to play or not instead of relying on a professional shill that shits out whatever opinion his boss approved.
>Who said they weren't allowed?
OP when he highlighted the reviews from piracy groups in red and pointed out that they are piracy groups.
in a while, yeah. it had two games I cared about instead of the usual 0
Name any year that was better than 1998
2001.
Because of 9/11.
A lot of these are outdated
2000
I prefer 99.
i don't give a fuck about the opinions of critics who cant play games and are a bunch of retards into politics and modern homosexualry
This year was a 6/10 at best
What fucking slate
>diablo 4
>bg3
>shartfield
>re4 remake
wow what a fat list of games you got there
are those reviews from normal users or bullshit reviews from ''journalists''?
Anyone can slap a website together and get lumped into the critics category on metacritic
>According to reviewers
The spokesmen of the truth. Let's go Aftermath!
This is what happens when you let more of them into gaming.
You only have yourselves to blame.
Reminder that if it was about money, they'd just cater to whites (and east asians).
>they'd just cater to 2 dying races
??????
Why's everyone going back to paying reviewers again?
2023 is the best of the last 3 years. Pretty much every year preceeding that is better.
no one cares about scores, they are inflated and dont reflect shit
Yeah. FF XIV, FF XVI, Genshin Impact. Easy best year ever.
For me it has been one long rotten decade. 2010 was the last time I was really enjoying new stuff. Definitely were a few bright spots but they were few and far between. 2023 had a lot of AAA content but most of it was goy trash. That said, I'm glad covid was able delay a lot of these projects. A lot of them could have used even more time in the oven but I'll take what I can get.
its pretty decent. not great, not terrible. Which says a lot about the state of gaming in this past decade. you can literally put your hand in a gamer bin limited to only 2023 vidya and you easily find something good to play. not all of them but some of them.

Name 5 good games from 2023 that don't contain any cultural Marxism.
COVID developments all shotgun blast came out at the same time because publishers were losing money from people no longer being locked down. What's sad is the good games could have been even better without that anomaly.
now lets see what people who actually play games think... whoopsie!
when it's unironically one of the worst. lol
what are some games that you enjoy playing anon?
>force studios to only make goyslop
>goyslop is highly reviewed
really makes you think
I'd actually say 1998 was the best year for video games, but this year is actually pretty close surprisingly
devs really spent a lot of money on those reviews eh?
All these dogshit studios going out of business is worth it on its own
>Do you agree?
Do you even really have to ask us?
It's pretty obvious no one fucking agrees with this, they're just trying to gaslight people into thinking there are good games released today (there aren't).
>Reviewers.
Is there a more bias, corrupt and worthless collective of media centric people on the planet?
Yes, reviewers are professionals, so if they say a game is good, I'll believe them, simple as.
certainly since 2020, but of the last 20 years?
You're comparing 2023 to 2003 video games?
2003
THE MOST FORGOTTEN YEAR OF GAMING
The only thing that matters here is the top right being the origin of the gun image
That's a warning sign. They are inflating the scores because everything is just mediocre.

Anon, we got a lot of remakes and rereleases of old good games so its the best year ever
Gaming is fucking shit. That's why I just play video games.
This is the best overall year for several years, you'd probably have to go back to 2017 to find competition. But this year is probably not even in the top 10 best years for videogames. This would be considered an average year for basically any year from 2000-2010, and that's not even getting into legendary years like 1998.
best reviewed game in the year of the lowest standards
its true
I stopped playing modern games so I don't review anymore
No, you stupid chatgpt written shill
I personally have had a great year. Several new games were really fun.
