It has been a stellar year and there are still more big releases left in the year. But that exact same thing has been said about previous years. For example, 2015 had:

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt
Bloodborne
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Fallout 4
Undertale
Ori and the Blind Forest
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Rocket League
Life is Strange
Mad Max
Until Dawn
Dying Light
Batman: Arkham Knight
Axiom Verge
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Super Mario Maker
Splatoon

So yeah I believe there will be a year in the future with as many good games as 2017, if not more.

To be fair I haven't played War of the Chosen and I don't know what that is, so that one might be good. But there's no more than 5 good games there, and while Odyssey and The Fractured But Whole are virtually guaranteed hits, we don't actually know that for sure yet.

We generally have a great year for gaming every 3-4 years minimum, with every so often one that's so incredible that it's talked about decades later. Hell I remember '97 being amazing along with '01 and '07 just off the top of my head.

You asked a question in the title, and the answer to that is yes, we already have... Multiple times... And will... Multiple more times. Because having 4, and potentially 5 good games in a single year isn't exactly uncommon.

Don't ask a question if you don't want the answer to it.

No, most people don't. Only 'advanced' gamers do. If you have a PS4 and an up-to-date gaming PC, you've invested a lot of money into gaming, than a not so 'advanced' gamer would not do.

Also having a gaming PC, that can play modern games on minimum, defeats the purpose of owning a gaming console, unless you're really into an exclusive.

Depends on the game I guess, my laptop is less than 7 years old and it can't play Skyrim.

i never specified gaming pc. and yes there are edge cases, your laptop from 2010 wont play modern games

but a desktop from 2010 would.

and yes, it does "defeat the purpose" of owning a console but lots of people dont like gaming on pc

I went on what you did say, 'a pc that can play modern games' can be thought of as a gaming PC, a low performance one perhaps, but still one.

And like I said, if you have a PC that can play modern games and aren't really that interested in exclusives, that defeats the purpose of owning a console. Something most people who are budget conscious would take into consideration.

Most people don't own a PC capable of gaming aside from maybe low spec stuff like Minecraft. You speed far too much time in techie internet circles if you actually believe most people having a console and a gaming PC.

It should have been pretty obvious this guy was trolling from this comment alone, TC. Not sure why you engaged him.

This year has debatably been better on PS4 than any other console or even PC. Every notable third party game (I even can't think of any big game on PC not on PS4), plus exclusives like every Kingdom Hearts game, Nioh, Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Gundam, Yakuza, Horizon, Crash, etc. Maybe he meant especially Xbox fans, because I can't think of any exclusive on it that didn't come elsewhere.

No year has ever come close imo. Even more so if you include the Switch. The 2015 list the other guy posted before doesn't even come close.

Many people don't even own desktops anymore and just have laptops with integrated graphics or very low end dedicated GPU's, even a lot of people with desktops just have basic prebuilts with Intel HD series integrated graphics and even if they have one capable enough of handling 720p/low/30fps many people just simply don't play PC games and just play on their PS4/Xbox. I'd say the majority of people with consoles just have one of the two that they play on. Hanging out on places like GameFAQs and other tech/gaming circles on the internet really makes the whole "owning multiple current gen consoles and having a nice mid range desktop" thing seem much more common than it is for the average gamers.

you can buy cheap ass $500 laptops with dedicated graphics that will run modern games at minimum settings. most people own something like that. not many people buy a $2000 ultrabook with 17 hours battery life and no gpu

My $700 laptop can't run most games. I have to use my actual PC for things like that. You're definitely high;y overestimating laptops that are capable of gaming. A lot of laptops have built in graphics cards that are intentionally mediocre because it's expected that they won't try to run a game like Witcher 3 on it.

2017 blew its load way too early. All the good games came out between January and May. Summer was trash as usual unless you had a Switch. At least Sonic Mania was great.

The rest of the year isn't shaping up to be too good. Not to be a weeb but what the West has lined up can't even compete to what Japan put out. Destiny 2 isn't worth buying until the full edition is released. Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty is the same shit we've been playing for years. Battlefront ll might be solid. At least Wolfenstein will be good. At least we get Odyssey, Metroid, and Evil Within 2.

You exclude the Switch as if it isn't a console. It still had games and those all add to the awesome 2017 releases TC was referring to.

Besides, there were a few good releases. Injustice, Prey, Tekken, FFXII (in actual playable form), Ever Oasis, Fire Emblem, Pyre, Uncharted, and then all of the Switch games like ARMS, Splatoon, and Rabbids.

Plus we still have Mario, Destiny, Battlefront, The Evil Within, Wolfenstein, and Assassin's Creed. But the end is definitely far worse than the beginning by far. 2018 looks to be the same in that regard.

And from the looks of it that is a $700 laptop. You're also assuming most casual people not even into gaming will know what the hell the specs of their laptop is before they buy it. And to that, lol just lol

Don't think I excluded the Switch in my post at all. I even mentioned Summer being good if you had a Switch so I'm really not sure what you are talking about.
