| Leynos said: If you say so. IDGAF about it and waiting for Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion in the mail. People get too hung up on declaring everything a game of the generation or a defining moment. It's a bit silly and hyperbolic. The stories of what changed an industry or not are not told on launch day, but years later. Just play your game and chill out. |
my definition of a “generation defining moment” in this context is “a moment which defines a generation.” This generation can be defines by massive budgets which cause develop to refuse pumping out experimental games, opting for safer, tried-and-true releases. I’m not saying that Silksong is a masterpiece nor that what it offers is anything generation defining; rather, the explosive success of a smaller title demonstrates the fatigue amongst consumers with these short-sighted industry trends, i.e. highlighting that people truly are upset with how the recent generation has been. Not to say there hasn’t been an incredible library of games releasing, though it could be so much better (and more affordable).
