Forums - Gaming Discussion - 2009 is one of the worst years in gaming in recent years.

I like 2009 better than last year myself. While last year had Wii Fit and Endless Ocean which I thought were really good (didn't get Animal Crossing because I don't want to just yet make Wild World obsolete, and would prefer another handheld version over console), this year brought:

Rune Factory Frontier
Little King's Story
Dragon Quest 5
Final Fantasy 4 AY
Wii Sports Resort
House of the Dead Overkill
Echoes of Time

Professor Layton 2 and Scribblenauts just on the horizon.

These games are better than the games in recent years.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I actually think its one of the best years of gaming for PS3 gamers.

2009 > 2008 > 2007 > 2006

By the end of this year I will have played about double the amount of new releases I played in 2008.

And 2010 looks to be even better than 2009!! I wonder if 2011 can top 2010 though. That might be tough.



Its been good for the Wii as well. Come September 8th I'll have about 4 games in my backlog: Conduit, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Muramasa, and Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga. Then a month after that is Silent Hill. Then comes the big games: New Super Mario Bros. Wii, The Crystal Bearers, and Fragile.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

look in my sig. There is still a lot to come this year

Do you think that 2009 is a good year, with just 6 nice games in 12 months (4 of them multiplat games)?


Uff ... Thanks God there are other consoles with many more quality choices (90% of them EXCLUSIVES)



Uncharted & The Last of Us 

(Definitely, best games of last Gen)

i'm actually glad that there aren't all that many games to buy. last year fall/winter was crazy... and i'm sure the onslaught of must-have games will be back this year Q4.

2009 in general has been pretty bad. it's been too cold and wet to use the swimming pool and there was a garbage strike.



I dont agree with the generalization of the quality of the year. Depends on the console that you have.

I repeat:

If you own a Wii is a good year (mantains the good performance).

If you own a PS3 is a excellent year (better every year).

If you own a xbox360 is a really poor year (like last year).
