    GTA 4 still holds a big memory in my mind. I live in NY, in 2008 I lived in LIC near the CitiBank building which is the LC24 Tower in the game. They got that area kinda correct but just placed areas closer to each other. The building with graffiti seen on 5:16 is the most memorable to me. As a kid I remember walking past that building and I'd admire the graffiti all over it. And to see it in a GTA game was fucking amazing. As of today that building has been torn down. They're replacing the building with some modern apartment building due to the area being populated by more high class citizens. 2008 in general seems so nostalgic to me and video games do have to do with it.

    2008 -2009 were important years for gaming they were the ending of 00s which made them special ( end of an era)
    2010 was the beginning of a new era of gaming. A decade with less iconic nature.

      @cattysplat 5 лет назад

      2008 is highlighted as one of the best years in gaming ever. Nothing to stop you playing older games either, unless you wanted to play them in multiplayer when they had just released and had thousands of new players. A lot of positive memories of older games are of a particular moment in history and gaming culture, since many of these games came with new exciting ideas which are seen as nothing special today, from developers copying all the best ideas and sequels generally improving most games and adding more gameplay. Most old games seem incredibly simple to the sprawling huge open worlds and never ending "games as service" model today featuring monthly patches and constant new additions, which is both good if you like endlessly playing, or bad if you feel you are being pressured to play the same game endlessly.

    I know I’m gonna get some hate from this but I think we’re living in the start of a bit of a golden age right now, after years of oppression companies are starting to suffer from their greedy business practices and are starting to have to play by our rules, this year may have had a lot of flops but this is the start a of great comeback for gaming I think and we still have many good games from this past year red dead redemption 2, apex, metro exodus, and game communities thriving like rainbow six siege and for honor. ( I know I didn’t list many honestly there weren’t really many games but the ones that were good were fuckin amazing)
    We still have a way to go but If we continue to fuck over companies for monetizing, politicizing and ruining our games then we become their real owners.

      I disagree I feel we *could be In an upcoming golden age again with PS5 and Xbox Anaconda and Lockheart ( streaming btw Is arguably In a golden age ). Gaming as It stands Is the absolute worst I've ever seen It atm.. but with the greatest potential!. Ppl aren't losing money despite their greed EA Is just fine , while we're bombarded with remasters not even remakes , cheap Indie filler which they praise , battle royale copycats , bad sequels , longest development times ever In history , less focus on AAA single player games than ever , less RPGs than ever.. which used to be just as big as the FPS genre and my fav. DLC and seasons pass on everything so less complete games at launch while you have to wait for ultimate GOTY editions to feel like a full experience. Less depth/challenge/risk In videogames ( excluding FromSoftware/CDPR).
      It's catered to casuals more than ever , less technological leaps In game design or visuals with under-powered launch consoles compared to previous gens. I don't mind "casual" stuff the Wii honestly did It right imo because It Innovated and tried new things and that's all I feel we need , Exodus was okay to me , but overall I can only count maybe 5 classics I will remember between 2013 to 2020 , the rest was just "good". I would love to see a whole lot of full on remakes Instead of remasters and revive classic IP that's proven with cult fanbases ( It worked for Fallout which was forgotten ). Golden Age to me was Dreamcast/PS1 era. I hope things change.

      @@fawkkyutuu8851 The number of actual new ideas in gaming is at an all time low. The quality and amount of content of individual games we have today is huge, but they are just improvements of what has already been done before. We are still playing the same game ideas that were created and pioneered in the mid 2000's. Apart from maybe VR and streaming, gaming itself is stale and endlessly repeating itself with the same genres and game types. The playerbase is getting tired of playing the same thing, measured in lowered sales on every major release, you can only keep buying and playing the same CoD, GTA and Battle Royale games before you're literally sick of it. I hope indie games once again invents new game ideas or revives dead genres like RTS so there is more variety to games again.
