Forums - Gaming Discussion - What has been the worst year for gaming in the past decade? - 2012!

Definately 1984.

Sorry, didn't read the whole title. So I'll agree with you. 2012 was worse than 2011 or 2010^^

By decade you mean 2002-2012? 2012 was great IMO, it had Halo 4 :)

Id say 2005. Hard to think of any notable games in that year.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

2001 - The year Sega discontinued the Dreamcast and left the console hardware market. That's the worst year in gaming. It was an end of an era. If the Golden Age of Gaming was in the arcade then the Silver Age died with the Dreamcast.

It may be slightly longer ago than a decade, but gaming hasn't been the same since.

As a whole I would say 2012 though. You guys got a few titles. Better than Nintendo Imo, but still nothing to write home about. So what year wild you say then?^


Halo 4 is the game of the decade and so 2012 can't be the worst. Halo 4 makes 2012 one of the greatest years in gaming history.

Yes @ sales

@ khlover


That was 30 years ago. I bet 1960 was even worse than 84. Does not count.


I crossed it out^^

Consoles always get a game or two that are great. Does not mean the year was saved. Look at sales.

Ya, Halo 4 is the fastest selling Halo , sold on par with 28 PS3 exclusives. Look at sales indeed :)

But seriously, I cant think of any groundbreaking game released in 2005. Anybody agree?

but we haaaaaaaaad



The only boring year I could remember was... this one. 2011 was a pretty great year and 2010 (from what I can remember) was OK.

I'll go with you on 2012. It was somewhat boring.
