Really just depends on what your definition of modern is. Personally, I consider the 6th generation, PS2/Xbox to be the start of the modern era of gaming, but everyone's thoughts and opinions on that will differ.

For me it’s the breach from primarily CRT gaming to HDMI.

Analog to Digital output made a big difference.

One could argue that Minecraft and Dark Souls are the 2 most influential games in decades. Modern Warfare created the tent pole FPS in it's current format.  The Indie and Roguelikes explosions ow

Yes the x360/ps3 generation was a super short and uneventful with absolutely no influential games that would impact everything to come, due to their immense popularity XD

I'm waiting for the postmodern game era. Where you play a game within a game within a game and it keeps going down that meta rabbit hole until you lose your place in the universe and can never get back. Ever.

 

Or some kind of first person shooter with a slightly different gun. Either/or.

Given enough time it all becomes retro and we just break it up into categories. Similar to movies with silent era, black and white etc. it all becomes old stuff to the next generation. After all, the term retro is just short for retrograde, looking back at the past and styles.

Xbox and PS2 are definitely not modern games now. 360 I think is sort of on the border, a few franchises are still going from that era and it was also a really long era of video games. But give it another 10-15 years and the majority of 5 year olds of today will look at Assassins Creed and think it is so archaic and retro.

We're already in the postmodern gaming era.  Now you experience games entirely through memes, tiktok, and live streamers.  It's a bold new frontier.  Actually playing games is for boomers.

So we should all just watch Tabonga play all the games. 

 

Works for me.

I just polled my entire work team of Zoomers on the matter...

They all said "what is Assassin's Creed?" And then went back to their discussion of Palworld 😂

I mean Assassin's Creed is a series that's still ongoing to this day and is generally pretty well-known so that's a pretty bizarre response, haha.

People think Super Mario Bros and Pokemon will matter forever, meanwhile in 15 years people are going to be talking about Jetpack Joyrride like it was the birth of "real" video games.

Played the original for about an hour. Interesting concept but the game itself was only average.

Played AC2 for about 8 hours and enjoyed it quite a bit at the time...but have not revisited it since, what...2010?

Have not played any other game in the franchise, so no comments there.

6/10, I guess?

I downloaded Jetpack Joyride a couple weeks ago after doing a YouTube search for "mobile games that aren't complete garbage" and seeing it recommended. No joke, one of the videos was of a 20-something talking about it with nostalgia from his "distant childhood" and how they "don't make mobile games like this anymore". I mean, nothing wrong with that. Nobody gets to choose when they were born and you gotta appreciate every day you're given but it just made me chuckle a little inside when I realized that the game came out in 2011 and...fuck...now I feel old! 😅

By the way, the game itself? Yeah...I uninstalled it after about 20 minutes. I guess you just had to be a kid in the 2010's.

I was born in '88 and I really like Jetpack Joyride as a game. Similar to Robot Unicorn Attack, I like endless runners as they do eventually ramp up on the speed and difficulty factor.

I actually rather enjoyed Temple Run and Temple Run 2 a half-dozen years ago or so. They were entertaining for what they were and weren't overtaken by predatory gimmicks. Honestly, I still haven't been able to find a decent (free or one-time payment) mobile game and have been thinking about just going back to Temple Run because...well...everything else has just felt hollow and scummy. Will gladly take any suggestions.

Temple Run was a lot of fun, for sure.

Truth is, sometimes... I could have lol. I used to have PCSX2 on my work laptop, but I mostly played Final Fantasy XII on it.

Ya know... they say once something is on the internet, it's there forever. And lately more and more, I've been finding that's not true. Any time I want to find some shit I saw online 20 years ago, it's just nowhere to be found. The Wayback Machine is a noble effort, but often doesn't have what I'm looking for. And right now I'm looking for just such a thing. Anyway,
