@@urekmazino6800 there's a lot more, those are just the best ones. Gaming is still good. Idk what yall are on about. Sure, there are many issues with gaming today, but gaming is still great. Think about it like this: people in 2008 where hating on that generation the same way u are hating on this and saying how much better the 90s was in terms of games.
I was 21-22 in 2008, and I just started my job I would hold onto all the way until today. Been thinking about making a lot of changes, but, more than anything, I just want to go back.
This was a lovely nostalgic video! Really brought me back, I'm 23 now and in the late 2000's I was a wee lad in my early teen/tweens experiencing all these awesome games with even more awesome memories. Good times, good times.
I'd also say 2009 was a a phenomenal year for gaming too! 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. The 7th gen gaming consoles had much more impact in comparison to the 8th gen.
Such a great video. For someone who was a Gen Z, I was in love with the PS3 / Xbox 360 / Wii era. All the games were simple and didn't need to be graphically complex for it to be great!
Was? I didn't know you could change generations. "All the games were simple and didn't need to be graphically complex for it to be great!" No sh*t, the graphics of that generation were complex graphics back then.
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.
GEARS 2 one of the best game packages ever...the campaign .9/10 the multiplayer 10/10......one of the best Co op experience in video games ...also Fable 2 was great
I think 2008 was truly brilliant because there sheer amount of variety was unprecedented. COD4, GOW2, GTA4, Halo 3, FIFA 09, L4D, Fallout 3, Fable 2, Dead Space, FarCry 2. The multiplayer options were ridiculous. The PS4 and Xbox One and subsequent consoles, have really struggled to create new IP’s and just solely focused on remakes and remasters. Seeing teenagers play Fortnite, Warzone, Fifa 23. Seeing them starting to play PC‘s with Console Controllers just shows how publishers / developers how focused too much on appearance and finances. To me once you had to spend a full day installing the game to the console or updating the game. The console truly lost what made them special.
2004: Halo 2 WoW Half Life 2 Fable Star Wars KOTOR 2 Katamari Damacy LotR The 3rd Age 2004 WAS THE YEAR!! Also Halo 2 made console gaming online a mainstream experience. Something we all take for granted now

GTA 4 Saints Row 2 Mario Kart Wii Super Smash Bros brawl Midnight Club Los Angeles Burnout Paradise Little Big Planet Sonic Unleashed Left 4 Dead Persona 4 GRID Fallout 3 Call Of Duty World At War Far Cry 2 Man Those Games Of 2008 Are The Best
2008 was the year I was actually able to play video games like C.O.D and G.O.W. I could only imagine how good the games of those times before were and wish I could have the experience
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 grew up poor and playing past generations consoles, everything from the NES up to the PS2. When the last generation of consoles was relevant, I didn't get to have one. I have an Xbox 360 now that I bought from a friend for cheap, and I am going to buy a PS3 at some point, but current generation consoles are still out of my grasp. I put my money into my gaming PC, but there's still several console exclusives that I would love to play. I'll get there one day...
@Red Tony I feel ya, i can remember trying to play Morrowind on a P4 with 512MB of RAM and an integratrd gpu long after Oblivion had come out. As you can imagine, it was horrifically slow and unplayable. Yet those foggy, 15 frames per second memories are absolutely some of the strongest impressions a game has EVER made on me!

i keep buying new consoles and upgrading my pc. i buy some new games, play them for a few hours and give up. i keep finding myself going back to my library from 2007-2012. 2008 really was one of the best years in gaming. i thought maybe thats because of the nostalgia of being 17-22 but no they really just were superior games. the release of dead space remastered made me want to go back and play the original trilogy. dead space still plays great today.

Just because a few good games come out every year it doesn’t mean that ‘every year was the best year for gaming’ all years had their highs and their lows
Buttercup Cxnt you could argue that 2007 for multiplayer is the most iconic, eye opening, and important year that games could ever have. It really kicked off and started online gaming as we know it today and gaming entertainment for youtube
If you don't live with this time. You won't understand the feeling of wait for game to come out and it was good. Now it just a cheap copy of experience with terrible broken thing.
Persona 4 came out in 2008. Yeah it may not be as popular as these other games and it did come out on the PS2 at the time of PS3/360, but it’s probably the best game on the console and I thought it at least deserves a mention.
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.
CarJack going a bit further back but what about the Xbox arcade games that came with the original 360 arcade, remember spending so much time on feeding frenzy, boom boom rocket and Texas hold'em
@@SSJVegeta2012 Not even close. 2018 saw many better titles than 2017. Also, you left out Farcry 5, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Detroit Become Human. Also left out Hitman 2. That doesn't even consider all the amazing indie games that came out this year, one's that aren't triple A, like Frostpunk. Other than Telltale games closing, and Epic Games moving almost all their staff to Fortnite BR, 2018 was one or the beat years for gaming I've ever seen.
Even though it was released in 2007, Bioshock is still far ahead of games even to this day. Such an amazing experience. All of the games and DLC is still amazing today.

Na. 2012/2013 was.
Yes, it is the year I come back to play game after long brake for University study.
I was born in 2008.
And to this day I'm still stuck in it
i still cant run Crysis after 12 years D:
You:*buys pc*
2010's Internet:"BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS???"
GTA 4
Bully Scholarship Edition
Fallout 3
Call of Duty World at War
Mario Kart Wii
Battlefield Bad Company
Saints row 2
Some great games
2010 Wasn't too bad either
Persona 4 came out in 2008. Yeah it may not be as popular as these other games and it did come out on the PS2 at the time of PS3/360, but it’s probably the best game on the console and I thought it at least deserves a mention.
I think 2018 was a great year for gaming...
Mohamed Akrouch there isn’t gonna be a good year for gaming from 2013 onwards
MY NAME IS ELIJAH TOO AND I WAS BORN IN 2008! I miss them days
Where Bioshock on the list"would you kindly put Bioshock on the list"
Ultra Instinct Goku that was 2007
Watching fallout 3 gameplay with that mario galaxy music playing on top made me drop to my knees and weep
8:40 starts talking about left for dead. Y’all realize y’all put the theme song for dead island on in the background right? 😂 not left for dead
I was born 2008, BTW I have played all action games of 2008 like GTA 4, SR 2, L4D, Army of Two, etc.
So you played those games when you were a month old
@@smartboi1932 no! But
@@smartboi1932 Ive played this games in year 2013
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.
Don't forget Rocket League!
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.
God of war
@@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.
Hell no
Don’t forget we also had RockBand 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour, at the height of the music rhythm genre of gaming
I loved the Xbox 360 indie store with games like castle miner z reply with your favourites
CarJack going a bit further back but what about the Xbox arcade games that came with the original 360 arcade, remember spending so much time on feeding frenzy, boom boom rocket and Texas hold'em
White noise online. Not much to it but great for a good jump scare with 4 players online hehe
White noise that game was the best
Another excellent video you deserve more subs
Great times for gaming. I miss those days. Makes me sadder what gaming has become now 😪
Super worthy DLCs, fully packed games, and no micro TX. 2007-2013, I loved you.
2018 was also an awesome year for gaming.
Red dead..... that’s it
Yeah only God of war
@@bastar9781 guys dont forget celeste
Only for God of War, Red Dead, and Spider-man. 2017 > 2018
@@SSJVegeta2012 Not even close. 2018 saw many better titles than 2017.
Also, you left out Farcry 5, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Detroit Become Human. Also left out Hitman 2.
That doesn't even consider all the amazing indie games that came out this year, one's that aren't triple A, like Frostpunk.
Other than Telltale games closing, and Epic Games moving almost all their staff to Fortnite BR, 2018 was one or the beat years for gaming I've ever seen.
Even though it was released in 2007, Bioshock is still far ahead of games even to this day. Such an amazing experience. All of the games and DLC is still amazing today.
3:45 Stillwater you mean, saint row 3 and 4 was in steelport
i was about to comment this, thank you ;) also its around 3:44
Metal Gear Solid 4 saving the best for last? You’ve earned a sub from me!
Fallout 3 is damn good
You know i was born in 2008 and i like the games in 2008
You forgot God of War
A Random Walk was 2007
I loved almost everyone of these games. Goodness. 2008 was the GOLDEN era of video gaming.
