Forums - Gaming Discussion - What Were Your Peak Gaming Years?

PS1/N64 generation: I was playing a lot of Zelda and Goldeneye as well as PC a lot. Counter-Strike, Age of Empires and many other gems.

Then, university came my way. I basically skipped PS2/GC days. Then:

PS3/Wii generation: Hours and hours and hours of so many great games.

Then I had many things in my life to sort out. Early PS4 generation basically. Last year I almost didn't play anything.

I hope I can start another peak cycle this November with a new PS4 pro.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

2003-2013



2008-2012, a lot of that was spent on various CoD titles.

I'm still convinced that 2017 is the single greatest year for gaming ever

That's likely because you're 18 years old.



2010



I LOVE ICELAND!

2016 to now. I still don't play much compared to most on here. But this is the best time I've had as a gamer. I probably played more back when I was 5-10 years old.



1990-2001. If you missed out on that era, too bad. Most magical time in gaming history IMO.

Age of Empires, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon. I grew up with PC and PS1 and it was a glorious time.

The last few years i would say

But thinking about it a serious argument could be made for 1990-2000.



Goldeneye in my early days took many hours away during the breaks and after school 4p splitscreen ofc.
The following years nightfire smash and kart on the gc also 4p splitscreen +halo 8p mayhem
On pc those days also dota the wc3 mod.
Later on brawl and kart on the wii and halo 3 again, call of duty 2
These games we played almost daily for years.
WoW has been a massive timesink untill last month aswell.
My guess easily +2000 hours for the mentioned games each with wow easily triple that , oblivion and skyrim are the only singleplayer games that make a dent in hours
