StaceyPowers Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Is there a particular era of gaming that is your favorite? Not necessarily the one you believe is objectively “best”—just the one you subjectively appreciate the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 To be honest with you, the PlayStation 2 era holds a special place in my heart. I like the innovative games and the memorable characters in classics like Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, and Final Fantasy X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 My favorite gaming era is The PlayStation 2 (PS2) and GameCube era between 2000 to 2007.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 The Playstation 2/Gamecube/Xbox era in the early to mid 2000s holds a very special place in my heart as a gamer. We got so many great games and some very underrated franchises such as Mechassault, Primal and The Chronicles of Riddick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must confess that the PS2 and GameCube era was so incredible. I love those iconic games . For instance, 'Shadow of the Colossus', 'Super Smash Bros.

I agreed to your assertions but for me, I like the local multiplayer experiences that I get from games like the Mario Kart: Double Dash' and 'Super Smash Bros.

HowHammerYou Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 For me it's 7th gen (PS3/X360). The 3d graphics were great without being excessively detailed (I don't need to see pores and tiny facial hairs), developers still knew how to illuminate environments (instead of slapping on realistic lighting, depth of field, and motion blur which actually make games look worse), complete editions had everything on disc, development cycles were reasonable, and patch sizes were much smaller. I'm seriously starting to prefer 7th gen graphics over today's ultra-realistic look. CharlesK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Man. This is the era of remasters, remakes, lame console upgrades, and boring, sporadic State of Play events where next to no interesting content is shown. Just what is going on? Or more like, what is NOT going on? 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved those iconic games too; they were so fun to play with friends. Nowadays, I feel like so much of the focus is on the graphics are the expense of compelling gameplay (do you need ambient lighting? Sure, it makes walking through a forest super pretty. But it doesn't actually make the game more fun to play) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatman Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I might say that this is an unpopular opinion but I would say the era of PlayStation 2 is 100x more better than this current era of PlayStation 5 gaming. Who shares the same sentiments with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 The 16 bit era hands down is my favorite era of gaming. This was when platformers were the most popular genre of gaming, and there were so many different Sonic clones trying to beat the blue blur but none of them even got close! Plus the awesome turned based RPGs like Final Fantasy 5 and 6 were out, plus Earthbound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja sa bong Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Old things have passed away for me. In as much as I know that the PS2 gaming era was fun, I've completely moved on. I'm enjoying every bit of today's era of PS5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
