They're probably judging the games on more than just coom material. Hope that helps coomer
You're the one thinking about sex big homie
No I actually play games, I don't post MJ over and over again
no u dont u lying Black person coomer mj postin incel chuddie basedjak sharty lost qa won tbh senpai
Uh oh I think I broke its script
Spider man 2 is a definite downgrade from 1. The strange unnecessary ugly mj redesign is just so in your face it's easy to make fun of
People are pointing out that 23 was bad for games and you quickly admit to playing a bad game.
Can't be it, AAA have terrible gameplay and that's all the niggolems are going on about.
Then why the other media can have coom material and isnt a big deal but vidyas are a big deal?
This has nothing to do with if 2023 was a good year for gaming
>great PS5 movie! Hated the yucky gameplay parts though… 8/10, great year for gaming!…
OP started this thread baiting about fridge face MJ. You honestly think he gives a frick about gameplay?
If you remove the ugly people, the games disappear.
There's literally nothing about those games other than ugly people. It's bargain bin Xbox 360 era slop.
and yes, before you ask I am trans.
>They're probably judging the games on more than just coom material. Hope that helps coomer
Well said.
those are two different writers dumbass
it's the same site with the same editor, moron
Oh you got 'em mad
>game is bad because cutscenes not good

AC6 was enough for me to consider it a good year
AC6, SF6 and Wo Long turned out to be some of my favorite video games ever.
AC was mid.
AC is a mid franchise all of them
typical pig eating up fromslop
Pigs are based now?
how can one enter such a state of being, so completely untroubled by the world?
From produces the most passionate and highest quality games of any developer in buisiness.
>AC6 was enough for me to consider it a good year
How, NPC? AC6 was forgotten and rarely discussed before it even released.
>rarely discussed
discussion of a game matters more than what you think of a game after playing directly, you heard it here first folks
Why a game being discussed is sigh of being good?you only play western goyslop? Because the most discussed games are western goyslop
>YOU FRICKING CHUD NEED TO UNDERSTAND SINGLEPLAYER VIDEOGAMES NEED TO BE DISCUSSED 24/7 EVEN AFTER PEOPLE COMPLETED THEM MONTHS AGO AND MOVED ON, OTHERWISE THEY ARE KUSOGE!!!!!!!!!! FRICKING CHUD!!!!
>proceeds to spam Balding Gayte 3 threads on the blessing of jannies and mods
If that's the game discussion they wanna have, might as well stay silent.
Ace combat 6 was awesome
I liked the new Assassin's Creed as well.
AC6, Lies of P, SF6, StP, and Dredge for me
it had some good games but the state of the industry is the worst it's been since the crash in the 80s
>the state of the industry is the worst
why do unoriginal gays repeat the same shit every year and then proceed to make memes how '1998/2004/2007/2012 was the PEAK of gaming'?
because it stays true and every year just gets worse
Because 1993 - 2012 is the lifespan of actual video games.
Because the 90s and 2000s where the legitimate peak of console gaming.
when the PCs true game of the year is a switch one, its over.
which one?
That's every year. Nintendo makes up something stupid like 80% of all Emulation, their games are way above other studios outside of occasional miracles like BG3.
No amount of mods can fix shitty fake dungeons, the real GotY was actually deserved for once; BG3 is king.
>i have to use cheats to play the game so it's bad
How can one man get this filtered?
"cheating" sounds like something a jelly consolegay stuck with the vanilla experience they paid $70 for would cope with. I'm not cheating the game's difficulty, I'm cheating the game's bullshit repetition and time wasting garbage which is has a multitude of. And regardless of all that, the dungeons still suck. Most would agree that's pretty indisputable.
2023 will be talked about here like 1998 and 2007. It was a fricking stacked year.
2023 was an amazing year in gaming, easily one of the top 5 of all time.
stacked with dogshit
Every year has a bunch of dogshit video games. They get forgotten while the best games get remembered.

So, 8 actually good games is above average for a 8th/9th generation year, but it's not as good as the peak, and none can be considered a masterpiece or gamechanging.
I just wish this was the average instead of being hailed as one of the best, 2024 is looking grim.
The Nintendo 64, a console that many people will say is one of the greatest of all time, had a life span of about 6 years (released in 1996 and discontinued in 2002). The good games on the N64 are
>Mario 64
>Banjo-Kazooie
>Banjo-Tooie
>Conker's Bad Fur Day
>Donkey Kong 64
>Doom 64
>Golden Eye
>Diddy Kong Racing
>Mario Kart
>Pokemon Stadium
>Pokemon Stadium 2
>Smash Bros
>Star Fox 64
>Zelda OOT
>Zelda MM
>f-Zero
>Perfect Dark
That's 17 games. Feel free to add to the list. Lets say we can get it up to 20. 6 years and 20 good games. That's like 3/4 good games a year for the N64. That's the "golden age" for a lot of people around here. So if we're getting 8 good games in a year, then what's the problem?
That's one console out of the three contemporaries, and the "golden age" is 6th gen and early 7th gen
Also, compare which era was the most groundbreaking. Sure, back then there was more ground to break, but these days we have infinite budgets and literally 1000x the power, plus the cloud and internet, the last game that used current tech in all its capability was Flight Simulator 2020.
Gaming is souless and shitty and corporate today, 2023 was above average for sure, but that's because the average is terrible.
You're not wrong tbh
Hey anon, now that I think about it. You can say the same with Dead Space remake, you can have fun with it as long you ignore how they ruined the horror, added woke shit and if you play the original afterwards. But oh well, if DS3 didn't kill the franchise hard enough, the demake sure did (at least for me thanks to modern game industry practices)
It's cheating to say R4 Demake was good as it was based in a good game. Nobody would have say shit about that unnecessary demake if it wasn't censored to appeal ESG israelites, hadn't yellow paint highlights to appeal moronic game journos and had all content on day one without waiting for DLC.
>but it's not woke, you can unlock the classic based costumes
By paying the DLC like a good consoomer.
Now that I'm talking about goycattle, isn't weird people use "pig" as an insult like a commie redditor these days instead of you know, real insults (consoomer, cattle, moron, goyim)? Can't stop noticing it.
>Mid and woke
It's significantly less woke than AW2, SM2, and Hogwarts.
>I share a board with people who think any of this is good
Yeah...Ganker sometimes stop being homosexuals for a while...you should try it
ESL monkey.
>Darktide finally got good
Did they finally add some weapons like the meltagun and bolt pistol?
>Jedi Survivor

>RE4make

>Octopath Traveler 2
Cringe game trying to ride on nostalgia for SNES RPGs the devs never played
>Baldur's Gate 3
Shit
>Rogue Trader
Slightly less shit
>great game from 2005
You get what's actually happening with the demake!
>cope reddit Black person
It was a good year for me. You just suck at finding good games.
Stop playing only the bad games you autistic Black person
>Lemme just cherry-pick the shiftiest examples, and act like that was the whole year
I hope you stay miserable in 2024. Keep jerking off to Crowbcat and Synthetic Man.
This shit genuinely confuses me because by all accounts, these are games nobody on Ganker was ever going to play in the first place.
You don't get it anon. Forespoken and Spiderman are like the most important games ever. We need to bring them up in every conversation because they just represent what gaming has become. Can't forget about Gollum. Oh man gaming is so bad now!
Why? Well the woke agenda and look glitches!
Hif-Fi Rush Pizza tower? Well those games look good but Starfield am I right?
>Why? Well the woke agenda and look glitches!
and in the case of Forspoken, being a badly designed game with writing that felt like it came out of Borderlands
Borderlands and Forspoken are both written well, you just spend too much time on the Internet
>Borderlands and Forspoken are both written well
Boderlands uses 50 words to explain something that can easily be explained in 10.
Forspoken is more quippy than Midnight Suns, A FRICKING MARVEL GAME
Yes, that's the humor, the verbosity of it. Just because they're not saying Black person constantly doesn't mean the humor is bad. Also comic book heroes have been quippy since the 1950s at least, cope.
Verbosity is not humorous. Listen to an actual comedian and they'll tell their joke in as few words as possible.
>He says, on a site where people think Norm McDonald is one of the best comedians ever
You are not Norm McDonald, and neither is Anthony Burch.
I use the phrase "borderlands writing" to describe poorly written stuff in video games. For example, there is a talking head in a box, and it just insults you constantly while being sarcastic and telling you to go to the next objective. Thats a good example of "borderlands writing"
Borderlands and Forspoken have dogshit writing.
It was. You just had to play good games from that year.
I didn't say they were all bad. They're just really not my type of games and I don't pretend they are, that's not a comment on their quality.
every year has some stinkers but we had more kino than kuso this year
Chai! Chai! Chai!
can't believe how many lists have his game near the top
Hi-Fi Rush was my GOTY before Octopath Traveler II and then Tears of the Kingdom came out. It still ended up in my top 5. I should replay it soon.
>shows all the worst games and complains about 2023
k
Loads of good games came out this year.
Remnant 2, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, HiFi Rush, BG3, Blasphemous 2, Sea of Stars, Cyberpunk DLC, Ghostrunner 2, LaD Gaiden, and Chants of Sennaar, just to name the ones I played.
it was a decent year
what is this with Armour Galore trannies.
Everyone rated this good at best and this comes after the From Soft bonus
have you considered, I don't know, maybe play the fricking game?
>Millennials who peaked in 2014 obsessing over Sarkeesian and listening to Roosh V in between jerking off to My Little Pony
>Having any opinion that is relevant
It was an pretty good year overall, both the zoomies thinking this is one of the best years in gaming and the homosexual ass doomers saying it is one of the worst are clinically insane.
You know things are bad when glavset wienersucker threads are allowed to run rampant, and obese 20-something morons gobble them up.
2023 was a great year for gaming
2023 is probably the year that the most money was lost by publishers on flops.
>Forspoken
>Immortals of Aveum (flopped so had so fast that even this place didn't catch it)
>Hyenas
To name just a few of the higher profile ones.
It's almost like there are other videogames besides AAA goyslop
ever think of that, OP
Overall I would say it was above average. I bought:
RE4 remake
Zelda totk
FF16
AC6
Mario wonder
Mario rpg
which were all good games. I imagine if you were interested in reddit gate and spiderman then year might be one of the best in a while. For my tastes 2024 looks to be just as good.
So yeah 23 was pretty solid.
>RE4 Demake
>FF16
>bought
>good games
What a moron. lmao
keep seething in your dark little corner tendie
Pfff, you are the one who BOUGHT those "good games", a censored demake and a snoy movie game. Better luck this year, homosexual.
>people are considering 2023 a "good year for gaming"
No they don't. That's a narrative pushed by westacuck vidya journos. The gaslighting in line with "GAMERS ARE DEAD" lol. Why would you believe them? They're trying to force this slop as a "new normal" on you and to make you look like the only crazy person for thinking 2023 was shit. Well it was shit. Don't doubt yourself.
Kill all Americans.
You serious? It's been a fantastic year for games if you like anything besides Western AAA slop.
Let's hear it then anon, what games did you enjoy this year? I got gifted pseudoregalia but in haven't tried it yet
Zelda, Mario, Pikmin 4, Octopath II, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Pizza Tower, Hi-Fi Rush, Lethal Company, Metroid Prime Remake...
There were enough games last year to make a top 25 games of the year list. It was so goddamned stacked.
Thats fair, though personally I don't own a games console so a lot of those can't make my list
>Zelda, Mario
Nincel slop.
Lmao China will ban all anonymous posting, force you to learn Mandarin, and encourage actual censorship when they take over your country. You'll regret you ever said anything bad about America ten years from now guaranteed
Unironically the most fun I've had this year has been with fricking genshit impact and factorio
BEST GAMES OF 2023
1. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
2. OCTOPATH TRAVELER 2
3. Pizza Tower
4. Hi-Fi Rush
5. Super Mario Wonder
6. Pikmin 4
7. ARMORED CORE VI: FIRES OF RUBICON
8. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
9. Xenoblade Chronicles Future Redeemed
10. Baldur's Gate 3
Garbage.
Seconding garbage.
Except AC6.
Get better taste
>Troondur Gayte 3
Disqualified. Better luck this year.
If you watch Synthetic Man you genuinely deserve to have your skull bashed repeatedly onto concrete
its the same eceleb redditors who say every year is the best year ever. ourincel keeps dismantling them with logic and reason
I think people who are simply arguing about quality may be missing the point, I do think it was a watershed year because it was a year where creativity, risk-taking and retvrn to niches won over AAA homogenization, the convergence of indie teams maturing into 3D and getting better at finding their audiences vs. AAA bloated productions imploding under the weight of their own financial imperatives.
Lots of games with problematic development hells or long-awaited sequels finally got released
Teams with no established experience coming out of nowhere with extremely well polished games
Niche/fad genres on the indie scene getting all kinds of unique offerings with lots of flavor and variety, including 3D genres
As a counter to bloated homogenized buggy pozzed AAAs following trends and formulas, some of the biggest AAAs were also very experimental
Who would have thought a non-AAA-financed, old-school neckbeard DnD CRPG would be mainstream GOTY?
Who can deny TOTK's toylike use of physics is a breathe of fresh air from AAAs afraid of being video gamey?
Who can be jaded seeing Sam Lake's dancing smile, being celebrated for a mega-meta-arthouse-horror game he's been trying to make for more than a decade against the industry?
Who could have predicted that one of the most popular games would be a kiddie cartoonish rhythm action game with Nine Inch Nails on its soundtrack shadow dropped out of nowhere?
Who could have imagined that Korean literally whos could go toe-to-toe with From on their very first try after dozens of failed clones?
Obvious homogenized ESG slop getting exposed left and right is only the cherry on top, who could have imagined IGN giving a bad score to a new Call of Duty or a new Bethesda AAA getting destroyed on Steam? Arkane and Rocksteady paying the heavy price of failure and non-stop backlash from being transformed into ESG nightmares? Players are starting to say no to crap and asking devs to be original.
When you put it that way, I suppose there is a lot to celebrate. Now, if only any of that would actually translate into lessons learned for the industry. Too bad the entire AAA space is simply too far gone.
uhm bro, bg3 is neither a oldschool CRPG nor it wasn´t under AAA-budget.
It´s a tacticool adventure with some rpg elements and it was heavly financed from china so please keep your shilling to yourself
Better than 2022 at least, which ain't saying much.
i thought the gas can was a magikarp
Your brain is malfunctioning.
You're moronic if you think this year was not great
Like actually sub 70 IQ
the only other possible option is you're so entrenched into a single niche genre that you're out of touch with actual video games
but it was a fricking great year. Indies are thriving, AAA publishers ate nothing but shit and the goty was an actual good game.
it was...stop looking for AAA game garbage
>Robocop rogue city
>Lies of P
>Armored Core6

>nobody mentioning that this is a subtle israelitetuber thread
do better Ganker
How am I supposed to know that when I don't watch cringe gamer youtubers
true
Every year is a good year for gaming when you actually like video games. Do I wish there was a stylistically true Half Life 3 released around August last year? Yeah of course, but the fact that it didn't won't stop me from enjoying entirely different things
Anon every year is bad if more games come out that you wouldn't want to play, than ones you would.
You're absplutely correct, it seems I was mistaken and every year is bad.
At least you could show interest in a good year, or admit something was good even if it's not for you. These recent years are either apathy or dissapointment. Then again, frick having the bare minimum standards and knowing better, amirite?
>admit something was good even if it's not for you
It doesn't sound like you can do that at all. At the end of the day, all it boils down to is that if you can't enjoy games anymore I feel sorry for you. I've been playing games for almost 30 years. I don't play as much now as I did in my late teens/early 20s but I play as many as when I was a kid. I'll tell you for free, this gen beats loading a tape of Decathlon on the C64.
Too many words for projection. You expect me to applaud at any goyslop shilled, trended and astroturfed every day, month and year?
I can admit a game is good even if it's not for me, for example: I played Pokemon Platinum, is a good game I can admit that but God, I hate Sinnoh PERSONALLY.
Now, this year had good games, but they can't compensate for all the slop released, slop that I won't say they are good games even if they were made for me. You say I'm miserable? Give me a REAL good reason to be happy then, homosexual.
You sure sound miserable. Getting upset that more things you didn't like released than things that you did is both bizarre and unhealthy behaviour. For every person on this planet, in every year, in every medium, more things they don't like will release than things they do. You clearly have some sort of issue you need to work through.
Get that concern trolling out of here if you wanna larp as an oldgay cattle with no standards. If you say I have problems, then look at yourself first as it is pathological to not recognize when something wrong is going on and you have to cope by compulsively lying to yourself and others in guise of nostalgia googles and ignorance. Your house might be on fire and you'll say "This is fine", last year released worse slop that not even good games might compensate it and you'll say "is because you are le jaded".
Frick off homosexual, you have nothing worth to say and don't deserve any respect to have your opinion be heard or taken in count.
All I have said is that I like video games. It isn't that dramatic really. I honestly won't pretend that I know what your problem is but we clearly aren't getting anywhere.
You can tell me you think I have a problem until you're blue in the face, but from an objective standpoint, I don't. There's no reasonable argument here. What is "going wrong" that I'm supposed to recognise? I genuinely have no idea what you're getting at. Today, as they dud 5, 10, 15 years ago, games that I do like are releasing. Games that I don't are also releasing and like always I don't play them. That's the way it has always been and will be. The same with movies, music and books. Tomorrow I won't sit down and read Twilight, pop on the new Taylor Swift record and then watch whatever the new Marvel release is. I'll do things I enjoy.
Surely you can see you do have a problem if games releasing that don't interest you cause you all this aggro?
You're not old enough to know what a bad year for gaming even looks like.
this board is just b***hing about every single game. im convinced a majority of people here dont actually play any and just crave attention
2023 was a good year for gaming, in fact one of the best. The problem is that is was simultaneously one of the worst. No other year have had both so many high profile successes and failures at the same time.
It is a time of extremes.
Has it though? It's not like there were actual bombs that people expected to be great. Nobody was hyped for Kong, Gollum, etc, there were no disaster sequels
This was also the year of hyenas, not that anyone was hype it not even being released is a new low.
It was a disaster waiting for happening only to be unplugged and making SEGA lose millions spent in idk. How the frick did they spend so much money in Hyenas? Is it yakuza money laundering? It must be, I can't believe they manage their money worse than a socialist country.
>when a game from today is uglier than an early 3D model from the 90s
It was a good year
Just have no standards & always follow the current thing & you too can enjoy ever worsening mediocrity & israeli propaganda.
So just act like a female?
Or a zoomer. Either of them works.
You wouldn't like it when I white knight for women on the internet...
Yes.
Is there any faster way to spot an NPC than when they say "current thing"?
Yes, when someone cries out in pain about a term being used.
Who's crying out in pain? I'm just saying only algorithm slop consuming NPC's use the phrase "current thing"
NTA but it sounded like you were saying people who use "current thing" ironically are NPCs
>NTA but it sounded like you were saying people who use "current thing" ironically are NPCs
That is what I'm saying. If you use the phrase "current thing" you are an NPC
Acknowledging the existence and usage of a term makes you an NPC?
No, I'm saying the people who use the term "current thing" are NPCs. They aren't able to articulate why something is bad, so they repeat what their algorithm told them.
>They aren't able to articulate why something is bad
The term "current thing" isn't referring to why something is bad. It's the observable phenomenon of a group of people latching themselves onto whatever narrative the media pushes next. "Social distancing", "Support Ukraine", "Diversity and Inclusion", etc.
You are calling people who use a term to mock NPCs, NPCs themselves. Which in some cases is true, but most people just don't want to waste time debating people who argue in bad faith and will just use a "Gotcha" to piss you off and move on. Pulling the equivalent of a "N-no, you!" is not a great counter-argument.
>The term "current thing" isn't referring to why something is bad.
Yes it is. You just said it's meant to convey people latching onto something because they have been told to. Believing this is real, that people only support Ukraine or social distancing because they were told to, is an NPC-ass mindset incapable of considering why someone would support something. It shows a lack of critical thinking skills and a willingness to believe you simply don't understand people because there is nothing to understand. It's the sort of thing a person who is coddled by safe space red pill podcasts does.
So yeah, using the phrase is something an NPC does. You say you don't want to waste time arguing, but you "are" arguing. You're just arguing like an NPC who can't articulate their thoughts. Here's what not arguing looks like: "....."
I'm osrry this is happening to you anon, but when you say "current thing" you come off like an NPC sheep to the people around you
BUY. AN. AD.
Believe it or not, people shill his videos for free, or to start ragebait threads. It's 50/50
Love tourists desperately hugging the word of the week (178 weeks ago) and never letting go, makes filtering so much easier.
I doubt they are really here for the community. They are just here for the drama. Like Ganker barely gets 800k posts when just a few yeras ago it was easily in the millions.
Synthetic Goy and his homosexual squad shilling his newest video I see. Can't wait till this homosexual troons out or hangs himself so I don't have to see his shit videos spammed on this board ever again.
OP's image is a YouTube thumbnail because he is a homosexual trying to shill
you stole this line from youtube comments unoriginal homosexual
If Dodonpachi Daioujou was not his game of the year then I don't care
This guy also has a futa fetish that he talked about for an hour in a stream and tries to cover up
Did a bunch of irredeemable shit games release in 2023? Most certainly.
Do the shit games prevent me from enjoying the good games? No.
