Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
After the lackluster library of games for the PSP, I'm wondering if it is even worth buying another handheld. The only one that knows how to do it is Nintendo.
The handheld market just isnt as big as the console market and once again microsoft SCRAPE in, trying to get a slice of the market. Personally, i seriously think the Xboy is gonna crash and burn because for a handheld market, all anyone needs is 2 topend consoles to choose from, tops.
The Xboy is sounding very similar to the PSP in my eyes. Sure it will have differences, but will anyone care? In my eyes, no.
Microsoft's come in on the game too late, and unless it does something incredibly radically different to the PSP, (which is worth buying the handheld for) then its gonna crash and burn.
The PSP in my eyes is an excellent system in itself, its the game developers fault for not developing exciting and innovative games that take advantage of what the PSP has to offer.
But with the whole library of psone games arriving on the psp from '06-'07, there will be plenty of great games for the psp to come
LIVE ARCADE TITLES!!
I bet a million bucks.
Yah I can't wait for the Live Anywhere and many features It'll have.
This device really should be the ultimate 360 mobile add on. No other cellphone or MP3 player should have more features on it than this.
That's why it's exciting, we need a picture.
I have came up with an awesome name for Microosfts possible upcoming handheld
Microsoft should call it... "The Xbot".
Sonyfanboys inults seem to only help Micosoft, lol.
