same as it is now

Awful, late 90's was the best

soulfull

People say you're supposed to call those years between 2000 - 2010 the noughties. I think that sounds dumb. But i also think the "2000s" sounds dumb. That's supposed to refer to the whole century.

>not referring to them as the "Twenty-aughts"

You had ads like this in magazines calling you a fag for playing as a dude

Great first 5 years. Awful the next

Zoomers should be glad they only have to deal with lootboxes instead of Online passes. I'm still livid how that shit went on for as long as it did

>Online passes
fucking EA cancer

Finally this debate is over

Cool kids called them the double O's

I think we can't all agree that 1995-2015 was an absolute golden age of videogames that will never happen again

Be glad you were around for it and consider finding another hobby

It was alright, not as comfy as 90s gaymen though.

*1995-2007

WELL HERE THEY COME AND THERE YOU GO
THE MORE THAT YOU'RE THINKING, THE LESS THAT YOU KNOW

Shut up boomer, PS3 was God's last gift to mankind

How young do you have to be to not know that answer?

This, gaming hasn't truly been good since 2008.

>Consoles had Halo
>PC had CoD(when it was good)
and there was balance

What was the last good game you slobbering retard

God that's so amazing.

It's a shame that demos are not common anymore.

They'd have to be 90 seconds long based on the length of the average AAA single player experience

>corridor shooters
>chest-high-wall shooters
>multiplayer mode shoehorned into everything
>cinematic games become the norm
>open world games start to become more ubiquitous
>free to play starts to become ubiquitous
>DLC becomes the norm
>MMO market saturation begins

Basically it started out all the cancer that made gaming in the 2010s shit. At least PC had some standout exclusives though unlike now, such as STALKER, Crysis, and The Witcher.
