What were you playing 10 years ago?

10 years ago I was a sophomore in college. I couldn't yet afford a PS3, but my roommate had one and was terribly addicted to call of duty. In the meantime I distinctly remember playing Xenogears on my ps1, because I never got to beat it before. That was back on my old crt tv. I also played Smash Bros Melee with my roommates. That was loads of fun. That honestly was the best Smash game. Those were good times. Funny thing is I wasn't that big into gaming then. What about you, SW? What were you playing 10 years ago?

Crysis. Orange Box. Other things.

Halo 3 and Oblivion on 360.

10 years ago I was still playing Resistance Fall of Man on PS3. I got it at launch but due to a lack of decent games on PS3 for damn near a year, Resistance kept me company longer than usual.

Halo 3, Orange box, Gears of War, Bioshock, Crackdown, Forza 2,

Portal, Wii Sports... 10 years ago was A pretty shit time for games if you ask me, And I usually like all of the time periods.

@mark1974:

Whats with the inconsistent weather?

Anyway, 10 years ago, I was still on PS2.

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Obsessively, I might add.

Ten years ago was 2007, so that means I was playing Bioshock, The Orange Box, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2.

Bee Movie Game
Ninjabread Man
Skate

You know, all the good ones.

In 2007 I was playing mostly on the Xbox 360. Some games that I was playing during that year on the system were:

- Halo 3

- Gears of War

- Blue Dragon

- Forza 2

- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

- Heavy Weapon

Because it's Chicago. But we are fortunate that the best weather we will get all year is coming soon! Now through fall we are in the good weather zone. Appreciate it. Feel bad for those on the west coast who are unable to appreciate such things. They will never feel the joy of good weather we feel as they get it all of the time and take it for granted. Our enjoyment is triple theirs. Miserable whiney bastards that they are...

PS2 was still the best thing in video games 10 years ago. "Next gen" was still the lame gen.

I was playing nothing but World of Warcraft 10 years ago. Didn't move onto console gaming really until the Wii U / PS4

I was a nintendo wii nut 10 years ago. I stopped playing traditional games for a long time during those few years.

Crysis, Oblivion I believe.

Since my memory is garbage, I'm going back through my blogs.

Early 2007:

• Got a Wii, played Twilight Princess;
• Got a DS with NSMB, Elite Beat Agents and Pokemon Pearl

Mid 2007:

• Shadow of the Colossus (hard mode)
• Discovered a year prior to be a gamer and not a fanboy
• Super Metroid, Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid: Fusion, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes as part of my "Summer of Metroid" (which carried on for probably a couple years after this)
• Gears of War
• I've realized I've been meaning to build a proper gaming desktop PC for over a decade now ._.
• God of War (finished Challenge of the Gods)
• God of War II

Late 2007:

• Front Mission 4
• Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
• BioShock (I was the engineer of the hype train here in SW, apparently the demo was amazing), and upon finishing it, I was still rather impressed (I remembered being disappointed upon finishing)
• Still playing SOTC
• Lost respect for Kevin VanOrd over his Metroid Prime 3: Corruption review
• This:

  • "Okay. Imagine Chuck Norris grew a leg and called it awesome. Then he decided that while I'm playing Prime 3 he gives me a supernova round house to the face. That is what it was like when playing through the first 53 minutes of Prime 3. I am still shaking."

• I went back to Metroid Prime
• Resident Evil: REmake
• ICO
• Orange Box
• Gave up on System Wars (lasted for a few months)
• Got into Neon Genesis Evangelion (that was a life-changer)
• Bought a PSP, with DJMAX Portable 1 & 2
• Realizing now it's been 10 years since HL2: Episode 2 and we still don't have closure
• Crysis Demo
• Went back to Knights of the Old Republic
• Started playing Doom .wads with a modernizing launcher
• Halo 3
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

A really fucking good year by the looks of it. Except for BioShock and Corruption. Realize I had quite the flair for hyperbolic exaggeration.

2007... Crysis and Oblivion on my ASUS G1S laptop with GeForce 8600M GT. ASUS G1S was my first gaming laptop. I have business laptops prior to ASUS G1S.

Halo 3. Although I think that was fall 2007? If that's the case, world of Warcraft was dominating my life with it's first expansion.

Dude, I can't remember my friggin cell phone number, how can you expect me to remember what I was playing 10 years ago ?

WoW and Guild Wars 1

NBA 2k7 on the PS2. Not until 2018 did I upgrade to the XBOX 360 and it all went downhill from there. In a good way of course

COD:MW and Unreal Tournament 3

This time last year?

Odin Sphere and God of War 2.

Halo 3

Wii Sports

Super Paper Mario

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition

Sonic and the Secret Rings

Medal of Honor Heroes 2

Super Mario Galaxy

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Super Mario 64

I remember playing lots of Wii, good times.

Good old 2007. I was real into Battlefield 2 and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

10 years ago i was the same loser i am now

I spent the majority of my time playing,modding and troubleshooting Tes IV Oblivion on my pc.Nothing but crashes and frustration.Piece of ****** garbage.

I had a core 2 duo and a gtx 8800 until 2009.

On the ps3 side of things i had Uncharted Drake's fortune,Heavenly Sword and Resistance Fall Of Man.I picked up my ps3 with those 3 games back in April of 2007.I used to rent a lot of games too so i played a lot of multiplats on ps3.

360 and that encompasses way too much to list. :P

Ah, my high school years. It was Oblivion, F.E.A.R., and Team Fortress 2 back then. Loads of Oblivion. I just couldn't get enough of that game and personally miss that kind of creativity that Bethesda used to have.

Exactly 10 years ago, i was in erasmus in Poland. 6 monthes without playing videogames.

When i got back to Portugal, later that year, i'm pretty sure that the first thing i did was put TES IV Oblivion on my 360 and play it like crazy.

@ShepardCommandr: Yes, I remember this as well! Not fond of those times.

I got F.E.A.R. back in 2006 and was dismayed to find out it ran very poorly (I knew nothing about computers then). I check my computer specs and actually find out that a Celeron D processor and the onboard graphics card were very, very poor for performance. I only had a lawnmowing job for a few of my neighbors back then so I spent 2006 and 2007 to save up for the 7700 GS (which wasn't enough, of course), a Pentium 4 CPU (which helped, but also wasn't enough), and then finally the 8800 GTS. When I finally got that card, I had gotten the PS3 (in 2009) and I didn't care that much to play F.E.A.R. with MGS4 and GTA4 on the console.

I spent all that time and money (couldn't upgrade to the Core 2 Duo like you, I don't think my motherboard could support it) and when I finally got the card that could run F.E.A.R. at the highest graphics and settings I wanted in 2006, I already had many other games demanding my attention.

Now I'm also still the same loser I was back then. History repeats itself. I work a couple of crappy jobs but a few months ago I bought a nice gaming computer with the i7 6700 and I recently bought a new SSD and the Nvidia 1080 GTX. I need to get a grip and focus on more important matters, but DOOM just looks so goddamn beautiful.

I also still play F.E.A.R. from time to time too.

Sorry, long rant. I totally empathize with you and was in a reflective mood.

STALKER and Crysis.

CoD 4, and Assassins Creed mostly

Not a lot to be honest, 10 years ago my wife was heavily pregnant with our twin girls.

Ten years ago I had just got a PS3 and was addicted to Army of Two. I also was playing Zelda I, Zelda II, Oot, TP, and The Windwaker all on Gamecube

For sure i was playing

World of Warcraft

Cod 4

God of War 2

Stalker

League of Legends BETA

Among other games

In May I was finishing up my first year of college, and trying to get Shadow of Chernobyl finished before I went on summer break, because I played PC games on my roomies PC.

But yeah late that year was a lot of Halo 3, I was pretty hyped for that game.

Nothing tbh. I was very busy with real life stresses at the time, and there wasn't anything coming out that held my interest for very long. I pretty much stuck to only watching sports in my free time, and if I did play anything, it was usually something retro.

Call of duty 4 probably had my attention and maple story LOOL

Crackdown.

Would've been stuff on 360 and Wii at that stage... so Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Halo 3, Orange Box, Project Gotham Racing etc.

Can't remember the Wii stuff.

I was playing games on my modded PSP and Wii.

Didn't get a 360 until 2008. Was playing Halo 3, CoD MW, Dead Space around that time. 2008 was a great year for gaming imo up until 2012. Now everything feels sort of the same.

Mass Effect

Oblivion

Halo 3

COD4

10 years ago I was sophomore in high school. I spent the better part of many weekends playing Halo 3 at my friend's place. That single game got both my brother and I to buy our first of many Xbox 360 consoles (so many RRoD..). since then...wait... I have been playing online games for 10 years?! time is crazy.

I was playing Dota 15 years ago; Dota Allstars 10 years ago; Dota 2 5 years ago, a year ago and still now.
