| Jizz_Beard_thePirate said: Modern gaming is so annoying in that sense. PS3 days we have 2 GTA games + DLC, 1 Read Dead Redemption game and also games like Midnight club, Now it's like hurr durr, one "big" title per generation. Two if we are really lucky. And each generation is like 8 years. Least I am glad I grew up in the era when gaming was at it's golden age before the big cuckism of 8th gen. These days, not only are gaming taking forever to come out but a lot of them just don't feel quite as fun. That may be nostalgia talking but man, I basically lost all hype for 99% of the games coming out. |
After GTA VI, you and some of us in here will be fucking lucky if we live to see the next RDR, or hell, a brand new game that's not 3rd eprson and isn't about cowboys or robbing banks with miniguns.
Aye, we grew up during the days when we'd see sequels or new games for days, but with the current era it's a routine of:
Will X game print us money?
No: cancel it
Yes: make it barebones and fill with MT's
Will X game be king of a trending genre?
No: cancel/throw it out the door anyway
Yes: shove as many MT's and season passes in as you can
That's basically how I see modern gaming these days, outside of the few that are made brand new, trying new things, not wanting to be king of a trend, or making the most money. I know we've seen tropes like that in the past, but current era feels like that's all it is, tossed in with the typical "game dev is expensive" (Followed by dumping truckloads of cash into marketing/psychological suggestion studies).
This year so far all I've been playing is Core Keeper, Cult of the Lamb, and PZ, and like, one of those is old as hell (2013 old). Core keeper is still in ea, but came out last yr like Cult did, but it feels like the spiritual successor to Terraria, and I'm all for that. Meanwhile I've got games like AC 6 on my wishlist because it's too high priced for my tastes and I know what to expect from From Soft.
I'm mostly playing older games within my library, because those to me are still fun, compared to the ones these days where it's play once and never pick up again, or play halfway through, drop it and never pick it up again, and I know what the main issue is, it's a mix of bad gameplay pacing, season passes, BP's, or in cases like what Epic is doing, fucking over my games so I can't play them offline, which then gets me to straight up uninstall them, so there's that I have to consider with even my old games now.
Normally ppl will say "sounds like you're burnt out", and I'm like "nah, I know what I like in gaming, and I get very little of it, which is why I'm left playing games from the past, instead of the present, where I am not be catered/welcomed".
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
