Do we all here agree 2017 is the best year since 1998?

>>382647895
You won't get an answer like that here, the default state is to cynically hate everything

It's an amazing year for games but I'm not sure if it beats every single year since 2008

>I'm not sure if it beats every single year since 2008
I can't find a single decent year from 2007 to 2016 with 5 good games
The closest I get is 2015 with 4 good games

>>382648069
Bloodborne and W3 the only good games

Also, GR2 was better than Tales of Whatever.

Fair enough but as a company, you gotta understand it only makes sense for nintendo to do it that way. not even defending them. it just makes sense

Why did nioh give their Irish protagonist an English name?

>>382649220
It's above average. A solid 6/10.

It's one of the best years of the decade.
2015 and 2016 were very weak.

>>382651204
Both 3DS and Switch owners would buy Metroid

Why are you adding shit like Toukiden2 or Warriors AllStars but ignoring GravityRush2, Persona5, Tekken7, GGRev2 and RE7? (I mean RE7 is mediocre but you have Tales of Berseria in there so there's really no excuse)

But yes, I do agree that 2017 belongs to a top3 years in gaming of all time. At least Q1 2017 is for sure 100% the best quarter in gaming of all time, factually.

>>382651361
Yeah, that's my point

>>382651509
I forgot about Gravity Rush 2 but don't talk shit about Toukiden 2 because it's a great game

what's left for the rest of the year?
all I care about is DOS2.

>>382647895
you missed the surge, pleb

It's alright

>>382651629
Plenty of stuff but I guess that depends on the type of gamer you are. I'm guessing you're very old fashioned so maybe you'll like some of the remakes/re-imaginings this year has to offer

>>382647895
The only good games on there are Nioh, BotW, Prey and Hollow Knight.
Crash is a remaster and mario/sonic isn't even out yet.
HZD is dull as fuck.
Everything else is cringey waifu/weebshit.

Not by a long shot m8.

I'm going to post of my feet with Gravity Rush 2 box art if you reply to me next post

Samus Returns is the only game that matters this year

>>382647895
Pretty much. crash, mario, sonic in the same year. THE MASCOT TRIO back again is insane to think about, and so far all of them look promising, crash already topping charts.

Year of the platformer. Year of the japanese. 2018 looking to be almost, or even, potentially as good as this year. This year and the next are some great times from the rather boring early part of this gen.

Very decent lineup desu

>>382647895
>Toukiden 2

Eh, it's a rather average game with a very bare-bones implementation of a non-linear game world, and also has a poor endgame. It's still an improvement over the first and actually has a somewhat competent PC port, I guess.

>>382652759
not him but I'd rather Knack II than another kickstarter nostalgia bait or some Shovelware Knight expansion pack *Only 19,99+tax

>>382647895

Since 2007, absolutely. Since 1998, arguable but definitely more of a stretch.

>>382652923
>or some Shovelware Knight expansion pack *Only 19,99+tax
But all Shovel Knight DLC have been free for people who owned the game you fucking retard go kill yourself.

>>382647895
Remove Toukiden/Horizon and put fucking Persona 5 in.

Nope not even close.8th gen is shittiest gen since the Atari

The Japanese industry is dead and the west keeps pumping out generic open world garabge

>>382653042
yeah but still didn't stop them from selling those ''free'' DLCs for "only" 30 bucks on Switch and to raise the price up to PS4/PC/XBO owners

>>382653120

Horizon was a solid comfy time waster

>>382647895
Nier is garbage though

If you have really low standards then sure.

Releasing games for dead consoles is nice and all but I hope they'll port this later on like they did with Pier Solar.

>>382647895
why did you include horizon? no one likes this game. you should swap that one with persona 5.

>>382654221
I'm playing The Oath in Felghana in the meantime

>>382653167

This year has been better than any single year of the 7th gen so far except maybe 2007. That said, the last few years preceding this were a goddamned dark age compared to the 7th gen as well so maybe this gen will be back and forth on a yearly basis?

>>382653471

>>382654261

Anyone know if Touhou Scarlet Curiosity is a decent time waster? It's like $8 in the current PSN sale and it at least looks like an adequate Naphistim Ys-style clone but I've heard mixed things about it.

Is Nier worth $42?

Hi IGN
>>382654459
it's not a bad game at all. Malicious Fallen is also on sale

>>382654286
It's not a pendulum, it's just a slow start. Japbros needed to learn how to High Def game dev and now is when they're starting to release games that show they've got it figured out. They should be releasing more and varied shit instead of god damned pachinko machines and the West will have to step up their shit or get trampled. We're entering a new golden age, not a cycle of good and crap.

>>382654475
No, it's not even worth a pirate. Don't let the ultra-weebshits fool you into buying this shallow tumbl-tier pile of trash.

>>382654567

>We're entering a new golden age, not a cycle of good and crap.

I want to be that optimistic but I don't want to set myself up for dashed expectations either.

>>382654558

I see Malicious every once in a while and I think about it but it's not quite on my plate this go-around. Still, probably one day. Thanks, though.

I'll give you that one. Not a 10/10 but it at least feels like a fucking video game in a time when developers try to be as cinematic as they can.

>>382647895
These are all flavor of the month games rather than games that will have a lasting impact. With other years having games as prolific as FF VII, OOT, SM64, HL2, MAX PAYNE, GTA 3, QUAKE, DOOM, NINJA GAIDEN, DMC, RESIDENT EVIL 2 and so on 2017 doesn't hold a candle to Any year from 1983-2006. None of these games stand up to the greats of yesteryear but me saying that means nothing considering cuckchan is filled with underage reddit faggots from 2010 and up. Its shit like this that makes me consider going to 8ch.

>>382647895
>only played one of these games

>>382647895
2001 and 2005 were far better than this year IMHO. But with Persona 5, Zelda BoTW and soon Super Mario Odyssey, this year is easily the best we've had in the past decade.

Do it. It's what this shitty board should have been. It's where all the real gamers left after the mass GG censorship of 2014. Unlike the cucked username here, we have the balls to swallow the redpill and accept that the world has gone to shit.
