Call it nostalgia but games around 1999-2001 have the best feel

I’d like to extend that to 2003, for one reason.

I have a theory that the games with the best feel are from times when you're <13. After that feels aren't as strong and nearly totally vanish by 20.

I mean, 1999/2000 were truly great (just as that whole 96-01 span) but to me personally the best feel is somewhere in 1992-1995.

I turned 13 in 2002, which is the same year I lost interest in Pokemon games and became more interested in Halo and Grand Theft Auto.
My waning interest in gaming started soon after GTA 5 released and I’ve been using retro gaming as life support to replay the games I had enjoyed from the mid 90s to early 00s, before my childhood hobby and nostalgia finally dies some time before I turn 40.

it makes sense. I like old games in general, but there's some sort of weird y2k aesthetic in the games at that time, absolutely love it. Plus pc gaming was at a peak before it would drop off for the 2000s

It's always weird when people claim "PC gaming was dead before Steam" when it was literally better before Steam.

peak PC gaming for sure, but console games from around then were in a bit of a funk

It's people who made shit up, they either didn't have a PC or were retarded since Steam was relatively small until 2007 pretty much exclusively used as a launcher for HL2 and Counter Strike.
Anyone who claims otherwise probably didn't make a steam account until 2010.

I've never heard anyone claim that and if they did, they deserve ridicule

Anons claim that here quite frequently. Usually when others point out that PC gaming went to shit after Steam and Xbox 360.
