>that whole section of 90's/early 2000's food

Good fucking riddance. Besides, 2007 definitely was the final best year.
>>
god the iphone was a mistake
>>
>>386294867
I think the Iphone and Apple as a whole is the reason I believe 2008 was the beginning of the end. I haven't felt happy since, something is clearly to blame.

Let me guess the same time gaming sucked for you was also the same time you became a cynical jaded teenager who started having less friends and social interaction?

anything related to that, you're a retard.

Oh gawd the memories
The last thing I bought there was the Peter Jackson's King Kong game for xbox. I remember playing it in the store and reaching the point where you could snap the Dino's jaw in half and thinking it was cool af.

Aw jeez, we're gonna have to put up with stuck-up "2000s kidz" for a while now, aren't we? Who only see 2001-2006 are being "da TRUU 2000s"?
>>
The early 2000s have aged horribly.

>2007 definitely was the final best year

>>386296047
>best year

Where does this imply that every other year from then on was utter trash
>>
>>386295942
Video games were the only good part of the early 2000's, what a dry era for movies, music, and TV.
>>
>>386293885
WTF my boy Lupin stopped airing back then?!
>>
>>386295865
>Who only see 2001-2006 are being "da TRUU 2000s"?
But it was. 2007-2009 had the Recession, iPhones, Autotune, Obama's campaign, Justin Bieber, James Cameron's Avatar, HD-TVs, Saddam Hussein being dead, etc., which separates it from the previous 2000s years. While 2000-Sept 10, 2001 had more of a 90s feel to it. So Sept 11, 2001-2006 really is "da TRUU 2000s".
>>
>>386295220
Never even heard of Sam Goody.
>>
>>386296245
Actually early 2000s movies are better than the ones today, back then we had Lord of the Rings, now we just have endless social justice movies, capeshit, and remakes of 90s movies
>>
>>386294319
>Dark Souls
>Bloodborne
yeah no, besides there were some other fun games like the Infamous series and Dead Space 1-2.
>>
>>386293885
Games started to suck when I started to browse /v/.

I can't enjoy any video games anymore except for the souls games, medieval II and fighting games for fun. /v/ fixed my gaming addiction, thanks I guess.

How do I report

Gaming's still good. Stop being a jaded loser.
>>
>>386293885
Yes.
>>386294068
2010-2012 was a fucking nosedive.
There were good titles in between but the popularization of bad modern trends spread like wildfire and pretty much reached the levels they are at now.
>>
For me was the 2011
>>
Is gaming getting better now?
>>
I've concluded 1998 and 2004 were the two best years for gaming. But i don't buy the nostalgia goggles gaming is dead bullshit 2017 has been a great year.

2007 was the last good year in general

2013 was the last good year for games.

witcher 3 is the one exception

I feel like things went to shit a couple years into 7th gen, and only very recently are things starting to turn around and improve.

Actually 2006 was the last good year in general

2007 had iPhones, Great Recession, Out of Jimmy's Head, and other shit that ruined it
>>
>>386293885
2004 was the end
>>
>>386302025
>iPhones
They were there but didn't become a meme until later. Also not every phone was a shitty rectangle, you still had a huge variety of shapes and gimmicks.

>Great Recession
The first symptomps were starting to show up, but they were so mild almost no one noticed them. Shit didn't actually explode until 2008.
