2000-2007

thats a good one too user. I do love including the 90s but 2000-2007 was the peak of creativity in games. Not long after, gaming became mainstream and corporate tho sadly
This is the most zoomer opinion ive seen jesus christ

Since 98 was the year gaming peaked (no other year has had as many amazing and influential titles), obviously the golden age must be around there somewhere. I'd go for something like 93-99.

2001-2007

This is bait

1990-2022

Yeah you got it right on actually. About 2006, to 2007 is when gaming became oversimplified into a product for the normie masses to sell quickly and ignore quality and content. the casuals or as Nintendo's marketing called it, the "blue ocean" became the main target. So that timeframe fits.

8-16 years old

Release of Super Mario Bros 3 to release of Twilight Princess. Silver Age is Pong to early NES, Bronze is now

7th gen was the best generation for consoles.
After that was the start of the dark ages.
We never came back. and for PC that was the 90s and early 2000s.

Basically the last time PC games were being physical.

>the generation that mass introduced DLC, hyper casualization, popularization of gimmicks, and ultra streamlining of game design is the best generation

How to spot a casual wiimote flinger.

>to release of Twilight Princess
based. TP was the last great game with soul

Never happened.

You mean the 8th gen?

6th gen was gamecube, ps2, and xbox.

A lot of you shits are giving way too wide of a window. Gaming is a fairly young art form, so eras are going to have to be more thinly sliced if we want them to mean anything. Using a 15 year period with games now is akin to using a 30 year period for movies - too wide to capture any but the very broadest of trends.

1991-2001

but movies literally have decade long windows of a golden age retard. Google when was the golden years for movies

I'm not sure when the Golden Age began, but it includes the fifth and sixth console generation and ended when Horse Armor DLC for Oblivion came out.

1994-2005

then and now baby

Ah yes the MEME generation that has created one of the most cancerous individuals that still live in this planet, let's be honest it was fine it leads up to the last good one. Also let's be honest 5th was WAY better the only non meme console was the ps2 in 6th gen.

Golden Age was 1985 - 2006, Dark Age was 2007 - 2016, Renaissance was 2017 - 2019 or present, kinda hard to tell on the last one because of covid (2021 was was the worst year since 2016)

PS3/360/Wii/DS/PSP gen

7th gen.

Party chat ruined console gaming and future generations. Shielding future 12 year old white boys from being called nigger everytime the round ended in cod4 or Gears1 made people soft.

Reading comprehension you tard. Yeah, you can point to a decade long era in movies - they're an older art form. Gaming is too young to do that. 10 years in movies is like 5 in games. 15 years in games is such an enormous amount of change that you lose basically all meaningful detail or nuance. A 1992 SNES game has almost nothing in common with a 2007 Wii game even if they share a franchise and a genre.

late 70s to the early 80s

sorry millennials, you missed the boat

>Renaissance was 2017
Retard.
