[daze23]

What sucks about modern gaming is the amount of time it takes to get to the core gameplay loop. There so much hand-holding in tutorial intros and long ass story sequences my ADHD kicks in hard and I've lost interest.

Dudes want to act like anything outside of the most marketed AAA sports games don't exist. He cherry picks some good games (although he mainly chooses sports games, a genre known for being samey) while neglecting to mention all the shytty games we had to put to with growing up because they are gifts and not bought with our own money.

Not only are amazing games still releasing, those older games are easier than ever to access if you want to go back in time. There's never been a time where we've had so much access to great games.

It bothers me that expanding your horizons is supposedly bad, then goes on to list several football games. He's a part of the game doomer problem.

I think its hitting a reorganization as it got out of hand with the gaming budgets, incomplete games. I think organizations like Microsoft is looking to rebrand and complete a different approach. Nintendo has the most loyal fan base and it will not affect them. Sony seem to be stuck on how to approach the future.

If you’re just getting into gaming or have only lived through 2 generations, yeah I’d say it’s getting better. Because you can play almost any game with one setup and easily. Plus most are updated HD versions.

But for those who have been gaming since the 90s gaming has definitely slowed down relatively speaking. Games are much better but stacked against older games without a time or technology barrier they become inferior.

If ocarina of time came out today it makes breath of the wild look like a pre alpha release of a nock-off Zelda.

Just think about how many game stores, news outlets, tv channels that were dedicated to gaming back in the early 2000s compared to what we have now. Gaming has become more mainstream but the underground nerdy side has been switched to mass market media games that appeal to a broader audience (lowest common denominator).

Lots of games pre 2010 would never be made today. Plus these new games have such a long self life that it’s easy to agree gaming is dead when we have to wait 10+ years for a new gta or your favorite game is getting its 3rd remastered in just 5 years.

There are so many games out that I don't know how you don't have new things to play in between waiting for the next release of a series you follow. GTA is not the only game. Idgaf if it takes 10 years because I have a whole ten years of other things to check out. That only applies to some AAA games. AA and indie also exist, not to mention games in genres you may not pay attention to and are missing out on.

I’ll say, the most annoying thing about gaming nowadays are the fukking skill trees. Sometimes I just want to play and find some random weapons and use them…but games take an age to build your path.

The worst one was Robocop. I’m a fukking robot, just let me skill up normally and not have to get overly technical with the skill tree and chip fusing

I thought the skill trees and chips were fun.

Modern trends suck, I'm trying to play FF16 and this shyt is awful so far, just going from one quest indicator to another, long ass menu with tiny fukking font, tutorial messages poping out even 4 hours into the game, no exploration, it feels like Ubisoft's Final Fantasy.

Go play Expedition 33

They never bring up the shytty games of the past. When they be nostalgic tripping lol.

You don't here about the Superman 64, Def Jam Icon, Glover, COUNTLESS movie tie in games, etc.

No, just cherry pick the classics while ignoring the modem day classics and insane indie titles.

This is huge. Nostalgia cats forget how absolutely TRASH some games were back in the day. Games like Superman 64 or Drake of the 99 Dragons, or all those godawful Mortal Kombat clones in the late 90s

And re: OP, if you're looking for innovative titles, play on PC. Big publishers aren't risking losses for some niche game.

Vast majority of games rented at blockbuster were duds. As a kid you were just happy to have some new shyt to play. Its rare that you find a gem, but a lot of those garbage games got propelled into cult status because they were so readily available everywhere.

i remember kids hyping up bonks adventure

I’ve said it before, but age plays a major factor when bruhs be on that “gaming is trash now” wave. A lot of bruhs are getting older and the magic. That they once felt from gaming and other forms of entertainment. Isn’t hitting like it used to be compared to when they were younger. That’s why nostalgia is such a strong feeling. It happens to almost everything and everyone once they get older. I wouldn’t be surprised if bruh. Also said that “Christmas is trash now” lol.

 

[Jaguar93]

Remember X-Play’s yearly bad games episodes? Where they shytted on all the buggy and bad games of that year. The past wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows bruhs.

Big fiction. The games now are objectively better. Like it's not even close. I have like next to no desire to play any games pre 2010 outside of like 3. Go play RE 2 or NBA Live 2000 for PS1 again and report your findings back to the class if you disagree. shyt some straight garbage.
