nah
Funny thread. It would be even funnier if you posted it over and over and over and over and
Zoomers and under still think modern games are good, and we are going to make you regret it.
what a scary proposition... I don't want to relive my life even if it means I get to play videogames again
>moron hand
It was already dead by then, we just didn't know it yet.
and so it began, the great shitstorm of our time
Oh boy, this thread again. Just look at the archive for the hundred other retreads.
You’d have to go back to at least 2000, and even then it is a little late.
Konata sexo
things were already awful in 2009
1995 to 2006 is the decade i want to relive
>we're going back to where the cancer started
No thanks
I'd like to go back to Sept 10 2001 and set up hidden cameras where I know they planted bombs
behold, the "amazing" video games of 2009
Holy shit has it really been that long?
tick tock anon. make them count
Not really much a person can do now, the world has gone insane. If you are over 36 be glad you can’t be drafted.
Killzone 2 still looks amazing
Looking at that list I am reminded of the shit show my life became that year. Fucking hell.

KINO. One of the best and craziest character action games ever created with an incredible amount of personality, charm, and a sense of fun. Platinium's golden age
>Dragon Age Origins
KINO. One of the best modern western RPGs ever made with incredible characters, writing, and world. Bioware golden age
>Resident Evil 5
KINO. The best cop op Resi game ever made by Capcom and when the series still had soul and has the best antagonists and finale of any video game ever made. Cpacom's golden age.
>Prototype
KINO. An incredibly cool, atmospheric, and original action game that finally utilized the concept of playing as a superhuman, making the player feel powerful, mixed with great mission design.
>Infamous
KINO. Same thing as with Protope except it utilized the concept of electricity powers instead of shapeshifting and was more streamlined. Came out when AAA devs were still creative.
>Batman Arkham Asylum
KINO. The very first good video game ever made based on capeshit IP and realized fantastically.
>Assasins Creed II
KINO. One of the best vidya sequels ever made of how much it improved over the first. It had a good story with colorful characters, a fantastic soundtrack, and art direction. It really showed what Ubisoft could have accomplished if they didn't transform the franchise into a cow.
>Uncharted 2
The best game in the series. Fantastic characters, great dialogue, amazingly choreographed action, setpieces, fun combat, and tons of collectibles and unlockables. Nought Dog's golden age before they became the absolute trashier they are today.
>Ghostbusters
The best vidya based on the movie franchise in history.
>Wet
Had great style, aesthetics, animations, and a good concept for core mechanics. Kind of undercooked in a lot of aspects but I still love it.
Really good year. The gaming landscape started slowly going into a lot of bad trends that plague the industry today but it was a paradise compared to what we have now.
Reminder that we live in the time period where kids that are nostalgic for this goyslop are grown up and posting here now.
kids who grew up with 2012 onwards goyslop grew up and post here now anon
kids who grew up with 2009 shit are like in their mid 20s
>people born in 2005 can start posting here this year

some of the people you see on this board were born after 2010
time moves forward
what a concept
its a nostalgia thread, someones gotta say it
time is a flat circle
Your moms is a flat circle, time moves.
I'm getting older and don't have kids, tick'tock even for me.
most people here are millennials retard. there's a reason why you shits keep fucking crap up
most people here are zoomers
no they're just the loudest ones. they're mostly homosexual tourists from Twitter
No, they're zillennials (born 1993-1999)
Zoomer will become 1990 just like how millennial kept creeping back to 1980. The only way that trend will change is if we stop pretending about WWIII and just have one more all out bash. Major wars are the only worthwhile defining lines to humanity.

There are no good games in that picture.

Fairly good year for games other than that though.
why is sonic dark brotherhood there. get that shit off.
Why the fuck isn't Dead Space there?
Also there were a lot of fourth games released that year.
the image was made by a weaboo. there are no western games on that list except GTA
Take me back to 2007 and let me stay there.
why do zoomers act like they want to "go back" to the 2000s when they werent even around for it?
they were alive, but not here or involved with anything they want to "go back" to.
zoomers even had that gay trend of making corny soulless ms paint anime girl memes to try and replicate early chan oc.
did the generations before them do the same shit, too?
Looking at the state of the modern world as it is now its understandable why zoomers would want to experience better times.
>Zoomer this zoomer that
Maybe people just wish they could go back to times whene they were happy.
>even had that gay trend of making corny soulless ms paint anime girl memes to try and replicate early chan oc.
Yeah, maybe we shouldn't post anime or even try to make OC in the old style. Let's just stick with the new trendy wojaks and twitter screenshots, maybe even talk about politics a bit /_
My parents are nostalgic for 80s and 70s, I'm nostalgic for late 90s and early 2000s. People just wants to be happy, times before constant culturewar and such. There being forums for specific games and communities rather than the 3 hellholes of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram and Discord as a nice bonus.
The fact that quite many people here are hostile against people even trying to make OC is fucking depressing. Mods already coinflip ban you for making a thread that might have a chance to get you banned so the fact that Anons here also wants rid of them is just sad.
>The fact that quite many people here are hostile against people even trying to make OC is fucking depressing
they didnt even do what i mentioned here though, that trend was almost entirely twitter, which makes it even weirder.
also, maybe their shit sucks because theyre trying to escape to an idealized past they didnt even have and dont understand. they could do the same types of shit but focus on the current times and maybe start putting themselves together, instead of having nostalgia pity parties where the end result is even more bitching
>maybe their shit sucks because theyre trying to escape to an idealized past they didnt even have and dont understand. they could do the same types of shit but focus on the current times and maybe start putting themselves together, instead of having nostalgia pity parties where the end result is even more bitching
Do say where they can even make that kind of stuff? Internet just rolls around the three big sites, you don't have small communities where you can enjoy stuff and have same interest. On top of that culturewar and politics and welcome to personal hell.
Fucking D I S C O R D is the closest thing you have for that.
I know.
I have gotten 3 bans for posting on STP threads cropped pics with catbox links. Once got banned for making an STP thread with SFW OP pic.
I got a ban for "replying to off-topic thread" when it already had 300 replies and I posted on it asking why the shitty political thread is still up. I had reported it when it had just 40 replies, but didn't even mention it.
I got a ban for posting SFW big booba Utsuho on touhou thread with remixes. (I posted the eurobeat version of her remix)
It is one thing to have a retarded userbase, of course newfags etc. will flood in and act like retards, but the biggest problem comes when moderation team encourages shitty behavior. Be it Yotsuba soijaks or making off-topic political Twitter screenshot threads.
Oh yeah, I also got 30 day ban once for posting this artist's cropped pic. The ban read "Retarded pedo" as a reason. So that was also a nice experience
Nu-Ganker doesn't deserve OC. This isn't a community. It's a place to shitpost about video games. I learned that long ago.
You mean you became the cancer a long time ago.
Cope gay. Be the change you want to see.
>yeah we should just stick to the shitty current stuff instead of emulating past fun stuff and shill politics
Or maybe do something better and new that isn't political shitflinging or wojak cancer.
zoomers played shovelware like spongbob and simpsons hit and run on ps2 and definitely had 360s
Zoomers had access to older generations as well, just depends on whether or not they had possession of any of that stuff. I typed the same shit out here
but it's not unreasonable for zoomers to have played a lot of older stuff, especially if you can't afford current gen shit. I wouldn't say it was the typical experience for them as a whole, but they could grow up with things from previous generations as well as their current one.
Zoomers were born in 94-95 depending on the sociologist. It’ll likely be 95. 2009 would be their happiest childhood moments.
Because the modern internet is a cesspit. I don't want to go to the past given all the advancements since then but it would be nice if we had something resembling it in the present.
>every community is on Discord and almost nobody bothers with forums or non-Ganker imageboards anymore
>entire generation of gen Z who are obsessed with online information and social media, most political shitposters fall under this
>every new shitty release makes millions of dollars minimum, bought by lots and lots of people you never interact with
>no real innovation in technology anymore, barely-noticeable graphic improvements, nothing that makes you say "holy shit this is awesome" and even RTX which solved a long-standing challenge in raycast rendering is more likely to be used so that the expendable programmers at large studios don't have to care as much about light rendering
>user data is the new gold rush for internet corporations
>skinnerbox genres like gacha are extremely popular
>almost no independent AA studios anymore, most new releases are either from low-budget indie game studios or large AAA studios that have zero creativity and make games far more for profit than for fun
>consoles have no real advantage over PCs anymore and are only popular because of brand marketing, exclusives, affordability, and ease of use by people who are clueless about computers
>very few sites are creative anymore and most have a flat sterile look so that they are easy to use with touchscreen interfaces
>more internet traffic comes from smartphones than from PCs
>Windows 10 went full spyware mode with generally useless elements and it's designed to be used for both PCs and touchscreens
>most multiplayer games pander to a competitive minority and have a toxic esports scene so that they can make a lot of profit out of it
I can still play all the games from the past, most at buttery smooth framerates and loading times, but there's barely anything worth looking forward to.
>Raycast rendering is more likely to be used so that the expendable programmers at large studios don't have to care as much about light rendering.
That may be the studios opinion but its not really true especially for interiors or buildings or caves etc, with complex moody lighting situations that still need a lot of customization.
Even if the multiplayer game is fun it has to have a backbone of balance or abuses of items and map placements will be employed to annoying even casual players.
I wonder when will developers will force people to buy RTX-supporting cards given that even now they're still morbidly overpriced.
>multiplayer
The competitive pandering ruined a lot of them, there's no problem with balance, there's a problem with catering to players that will always find something to complain about at the cost of the rest of the playerbase. Even TF2 which was a nice casual game ended up nerfing and/or ruining a lot of weapons during Jungle Inferno just because competitive players complained about them. The Razorback (a secondary item for Sniper that passively blocks one backstab from a Spy) got a really nonsensical nerf by completely blocking any overheal on Sniper while it's worn, and the only reason is because spies in competitive modes would have to use their shittier revolvers to fight overhealed snipers even though healing a sniper isn't worth it most of the time for a Medic.
That's not the fault of competitive players that's the fault of the developers or custom mode makers for demanding tournament changes apply to regular game modes,especially for tf2 which has a lower player count for competitive teams then regular game modes anyway.
Well duh, that's my point, they pander to a minority of the playerbase at the cost of everyone else who plays the game.
You miss my point, there's no reason to Nerf items or game mechanics outside of competitive, which should be an optional game mode with these kind of changes.
This is the lazy developers fault, not competitive gamer's in general.
>did the generations before them do the same shit, too?
Yes, absolutely. Back then it was the norm for 12-y-os to roleplay as young adults. Teeny boppers were the morons of the 1.0 web.
in the past it was kids posting about being 90’s kids when they were born after 1995 and were too young to actually remember the 90’s.
right, thats true
any predictions for how the cycle will continue, anons?
>next is unironically called generation alpha, they will be corny as fuck about being called alphas
>if wojak and gigachad shit dies out, there will be some kind of nostalgia aesthetic involving them
>free space, the further mobile-game-ification of games
>VR will either be a huge waggle-tier gimmick or it will genuinely become the new standard, either way itll probably be pushed hard again at some point soon
>people will have threads reminiscing on how they want to go back to pre-VR vidya because VR being the standard for triple-A studios is a huge opportunity for even worse jank
zombie killing shirt will be a popular choice, but bottom left
Gen Z starts in 2000. Mid-late 90s are zillennials.
No they are 94-95 starting years and eventually sociologists will just give up and place the hard maker at 1990 just like how millennials kept getting moved around from 84-85 then just saying fuck it 1980.
>Zoomie desperately wants to be a millenial after being a detrimental piece of shit for over a decade
Generations aren't dictated by the decades. Decades are dictated by the decades.
I was born in 1993 and I was watching anime in high school in 2009. Me and OP are both late millennials. Zoomers don't care about Lucky Star.
Keep coping. I hated being lumped in with millennials at first too. You’ll learn to accept it soon.
>I was born in 1993
Congratulations, then you're a fucking zoomer by definition and your own admission. Zoom on, zoom zoom.
>detrimental piece of shit for over a decade
Your generation is the one that ruined video games, movies, and other media, you piece of millennial shit.
>waaah millennial ruined everything for us
It wasn't millenials who pushed Common Core onto you actually stunted drooling shitheads.
>I have no idea what I am talking about
Yes, I know you have only watched a dozen movie in your short little life, you don't have to shout it from the rooftops.
I....yeah, I fucking hate my generation, I'm 34, and I have to agree with this, I hope zoomers learn from what we fucked up but I'm sure you won't
>unironic neet neckbeard who's terminally online blames his generation for everything but takes no responsibility on himself
Damn, you really are a millennial
>neckbeard who's terminally online
Nice assumption chud, I'm a fit bro, happily married , I have a job too
>but takes no responsibility on himself
I have a daughter, I do not buy woke garbo and I openly criticize leftycuckholdry IRL even to the determent of relationships and growth opportunities, now anon what have you done to try to fix the woke disaster?
>Thinking a generation and not the race that was the can kicked down the road for the last two millennia ruined anything
lol, lmao
based
they hated him because he told them the truth
hate when millennial cucks blame everything on zoomers when they're the ones who produce all that woke shit
yet you consume what they produce anyway, curious.
Millennials are still in grunt work, gen x is at the helm, and by helm they still don’t care and only get off on antagonism.
I don't want to be a millennial or a zoomer. Both generations suck ass. I'm a zillennial, and I'm cooler than both of you.
>why do zoomers act like they want to "go back" to the 2000s when they werent even around for it?
the same reason millennials want to go back to the 80s when most of them werent even born yet or were too young to remember.
same reason why Gen X always made a big deal over how good the 60s was when they werent around for it either
>same reason why Gen X always made a big deal over how good the 60s was when they werent around for it either
No we didn't.
Actually, a lot of them did. Gen Xers brought back mod fashion in the 90s.
Those were stoners, it wasn't about the 60s, it was muh weed culture.
Gen X was firmly present numb nuts. Our parents were the ones trying to shove Leave it to beaver down our throats. Don’t act like you know what the “slackers” were up to you little shit.
>did the generations before them do the same shit, too?
yes? damn near all of them. humans long to live in the good times they could never truly appreciate as children.
Wrong, the good times were technically still rolling even in the midst of LBJ, Nixon, Ford, and Carter all butt fucking the future. The 90’s and Nafta is where common people started to feel the ground giving out from under them but 2001 onward was off a cliff.
dunno about you lad but my life has only gotten better since the 2020s began.
When you were born in the sewer, the bog probably feels pretty good.
WINRARS
Life is better now, faster internet, pcs can play any game you want, access to games is easier, life is much better now for gamers.
Stop replying to niggorillas deep in the generational divide meme. Anyone who unironically falls for it are no better than the leftists that started worshipping trannies after Occupy Wallstreet scared the shit out of ~~*bankers*~~.
>2009
That was when clown world was beginning to gain traction, take us further back. Preferably the late 90s.
>2009
It was already too late by then.
No 2007 no buy
When it comes to how shit was, sure
When it comes to vidya fuck no we can go further back
take me to 2005

I wish i could go back.
I'd pay attention and keep in contact with my friends.
I'd pay attention in school and get the mental help i needed
I'd go to uni and not be 29 with no proper job
I'd stop stressing and eating like shit
I'd stop spending so much money on shit i dwouldnt need
i wish i could go back
are you doing those things now?
hey man i did all that and i'm still jobless and stressed and alone at 28
so it wouldn't have mattered
University's don't make you get hired when no one cares.
you wouldn't because you're not already course correcting
Boycott MW2 and get those Actigays to give us back dedicated servers
I'm in high school again, poor, no internet, no cable, have a PS2 with 4 games, and play DotA against AI on the dell desktop my brother took from his university.
If I went back, I would make trans shit taboo. By that, I'd commit terrible crimes while professing myself to be a trans/pro LGBT dude and ruin there reputation 100 fold. If I got people to join me, I'd betray them and I'd make the entire thing seem lime a mad cult...which it is, but the sudden clash of 2023 vs 2009 worldviews would make that shit much harder to accept and could set back acceptance entire decades
So I'd play a necessary evil essentially. Might die trying, but I'd do anything to keep that crap from proliferating like it has. Or maybe be some sort of wise sage predicting the future till I get a reputable following, and get people up in arms over the shit people are pulling today. At the least, I'll try to fight against it if I come back in time to make goddamn sure that the good times last forever.
The creation of the iPhone and its consequences have been a disaster for cyberspace. The internet was already steadily increasing in popularity in the 2000s but the iPhone, being the first Smartphone to ever gain mainstream appeal, made normalfags adopt the internet in droves across a national scale. Those autists and hobbyists were suddenly becoming vastly outnumbered on their own digital turf and once the vast majority of people on the internet were lots and lots of normalfags, thats when the corparations saw the value of the internet and decided to strike, sterilizing and monopolizing on it. Now those big tech bastards own fucking everything and they've trapped the normalfags into a system of attention seeking and sensationalism all so they can line their own pockets a bit more while we all suffer and pay the price. I will continue to be pissed off at Steve Jobs for letting this happen until I'm fucking 6 feet under

tell me one reason, ONE reason 2009 was good aside from your nostalgic blog memories
2009 was the start of the decline, but there were a few good games like Prototype, early Minecraft, and Left 4 Dead 2. But 2008 was the last good year for vidya.
>it wasn't as bad as today therefore it was good
I didn't say it was good, just that it had a few good games.
I remember some of those fondly but most of them haven't really aged well.
2007 was the year it started to go to shit. Fuck 2009.

didn't one of these bitches kill someone?

I wish it was me.
She killed a little girl that she was friends with in a forest when they were playing because she had "dream visions" and she heard "voices" that told her to do it. She regretted it, and she apologized to the mother of that girl before and after coming out of Jail but she didn't accept it.

2009 was when droid hit the streets. Iphone was a prohibitive fashion statement, droid gave facebook to the masses. I know this a smoking vs lung cancer killing the patient argument, but I think there needs to be more shade being thrown droids way.
Being honest, most people didn't have smart phones until like 2011 onwards, and 90% of them were iPhones
I know there is a lot on apples sin list. Flash dying is chief among them. I just know when I was a manager all the teenagers had their droids set to the metal gear codec alert. It was last like over night too. One day it was side kicks and envy’s and the next shift it was Droid.
>make me live through the 2010s again

This is me but without the gay bubble in the bottom. 2011 is the absolute cutoff point if I'm feeling generous.
I genuinely haven't been happy since 2012 and can pinpoint every single thing that's the cause of it.
>Zoomers now are nostalgic for 2009
Jesus fucking Christ. I can't wait to see people nostalgic for fucking 2019 in 10 years time.
For me, it's 1996.
Late millennials are the ones nostalgic for 2009. Zoomers were still in elementary school.
94-95. Zoomers were 13-14 young millennials were about to graduate highschool old millennials were already in the workforce.
13-14 year olds in 2009 were zillennials. Zoomers were 9 or younger.
>1984-85 weren’t millennials they xillenials
Cope sneed you are an old zoom zoom. You get to have the title of being worse than millennials by virtue that your grandparents were likely too old or dead to have a significant influence on your life and your gen x parents were as interested in raising you as they were with anything else.
My parents are boomers, and yes, 1993-1999 is the zillennial microgeneration, just as 1977-1983 is the Xennial microgeneration.
There is no such thing as a micro generation and if your parents were boomers we know why you have downs.
>There is no such thing as a micro generation
Yes there is, anon. It doesn't make sense for two people born a day apart to be entirely different generations. Obviously there's transitional areas.
They are though. School is broken up by such an arbitrary number. Were you the oldest in your class? Congratulations you were born a day too late.
>They are though
They aren't. Generations are more like 5-7 years long. People who went to school together.
Keep trying to move that goal post. You are a zoomer with a hard z and r.
Nah. I don't play Fortnite. I'm a zillennial. Only zoomers deny the existence of zillennials because they're jealous of us for being cooler.
>Nah I had an atari 2600 when I was 1, that makes me gen x at the earliest, might even be a boomer!
Cope zoomie, zillennials are better than you. Fuck off back to Fortnite
it's strange knowing that i wasn't the oldest in my class but i also wasn't into the stupid shit everyone else was.
probably, but that's not my life experience.
I'm born in 1993. I'm almost 30. I only got internet at home when I turned 10 (As a middle class person in a western european country).
I grew up without computers (only consoles) and without even knowing what internet was. There's absolutely no way I am the same generation as the kids growing up with smartphone access since being babies.
If they bring Gen Z back to 1990 then that means people like me would be lumped in with kids raised on smartphones in 2010 while I was fucking my highschool girlfriend at 17 years old. That can't be right.
>2009
Vidya is already dead by then.
Why are all of these fucking zoomers suddenly using this thread as some sort of AA meeting for their age? "Hi, I was born in 1994 and... I'm a zoomer." "HI ZOOMER!"
It's traumatic realizing you're the same generation as the screeching kids that played Minecraft growing up.
>minecraft kids
>1994
no. you're thinking '99 and onward
94ers were playing Minecraft in high school.
that's great, but they're not screeching kids. that anon is thinking about the 8 year old russian kids that shatter glass with their shrill shrieks
like this kid
2009 was comfy but it doesn't have Merula and all the cool games I've found in the past 10 years
>All the cool games I've found in the past 10 years
as a anon who cant find any games too play, please tell me at least 3 games that were unironically a good time to play within the last 10 years plz anon
have a wallpaper for your efforts in this daring journey
>nice cock btw :^)
For me Devil Daggers, Hollow Knight, Ultrakill, Nova Drift, Just Shapes and Beats, Rimworld, Factorio gave me pure joy.
Few hundred games more that gave were quite good as well.
You guys really don't play video games
I do play games just i play normie tier garbage like everyone else on this site.
These aren't even bad games.
NTA but I don't think you realize how long 10 years really is.
You honestly think that Rocket League, Cup Head, and Doom 2016 were bad games?
>TF2 at it's peak
aight
these threads lost their soul now that i know it's a zoomer gay who probably grew up with a ps2 and xbox 360 spamming them
Zoomers didn't play PS2 and 360. They only play Fortnite and Among Us.
Depends on how poor the zoomer's parents are. Growing up my zoomer coworker subsisted on hand-me-down gamecube and N64 games before he was able to buy shit himself, with only tangential exposure to current games at the time.
I was born in '92 and most of my childhood-defining games were from the NES and SNES that were bought second-hand. Super Metroid was released when I was 2 but it was one of my most played games as a child because shit like that gets cheaper than current games. I still got a decent amount of current-gen stuff but my own exposure was limited by the shit PC we had.
As a whole it's fine to paint with a wide brush for a generation, but defining a person's individual play experience by their age is less reliable.
You're confusing them with gen alpha. Gen 6 was the core zoomer childhood gaming experience. I'm of the oldest zoomers (96) and my first console was a Saturn.
Take me back to 2004 instead
Take me back to 2007. I want to play CoD 4, Halo 3, and Team Fortress 2 at their prime.
pre-2007 or bust you roleplaying little zoom
Nah I was homeless so no thanks
i'll gut you like a pig when we go back to fix that
shut up spoiled bitch
STREET WISE
>kids ruined everyone
you guys give kids way too much agency. they're subject to forces beyond their control, and so is everyone else. history is a tsunami no one person can resist.
>There are people posting here who weren't even teenagers during 2009.
Get the fuck out of here before it's too late. I spent my teens and early 20s stuck in this shithole instead of socializing and regret it every single day.
god i want to go back
2007 was the last pure year, but 2008-2012 was the last era with redeeming elements.
That's a pretty good generalization. It was around that time where my internet was pretty good/fast and the normalfag flood had yet to trickle down into the spaces I occupied.
I will forever associate League of Legends becoming popular with the end of the good days. Was that like 2010?
good. another shot at homestuck cosplay sluts
