I made it to the 1:30 mark. Absolutely sick of people telling me what games are fun and what games are not.



I recently re-discovered the PS2 as I was essentially dormant during that whole era(even though I owned the DC, OG Xbox, PS2 and GCN at the time) and I'm enjoying playing games like Winback, Timesplitters, Rayman 2, Dead II Rights etc than I do with The Order, The Evil Within etc.

Its not truly saying this game is not fun and this game is,Its about where are these other typ of games in that genre.

And how much the industry has changed in just 1 era.

You're right. The entire industry has changed a lot. Many things that were Taboo are now common nowadays.

I tried watching some parts of the video but his tone wasn't to my liking, and he's way too agressive at times. On a side note, I do agree that we lack quantity in terms of offline co-op games, but other than that, the HD era has nothing to be ashamed of in front of PS2 era and before.

I think it may be because of my accent? Iam totally not an argresive person,sorry if this video made you feel that way!

 

It needs to be ashmed of a lot of things. 

The dlc practise.

The broken games on launch with patches.

The lack of a lot of subgenres.

PS2 era was the last true console gaming era. It was the last plug and play generation and really, plug and play is what defined the experience of console gaming. Once these consoles started having the ability to force updates, change UI, DLC, have online stores etc... they became gaming PC's with a different skin.

Imo, the PS2 era will always be the peak and end of true console gaming. After that, it became something else.



1) If you are trying to denounce gamers "bitching", you should focus in a more positive message explaining why you shouldn't complain about X or Y thing. But on the contrary, you complain about details that some may find consider "bitching".

A positive video focusing only in why gamers shouldn't bitch about X or Y thing exclusively would protect you from someone saying you are bitching back.

2) You called Call of Duty a stupid game then say something like: "Don't get me wrong, I am not saying COD isn't a good game...". If a game is stupid it can't even be a good game.

Some feedback you may or may not find helpful.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Pretty much this. Golden era already happen, there can't be another one. Gotta settle with silver, bronze, stone, aliens, etc.
