Forums - Website Topics - Hmm… Does This Site Feel A Bit More “Meh” Than Usual?

Since not-E3 news has been slow and any bigger news has been depressing. Ie. Xbox layoffs and PlayStation killing physical. Game news tends to be slower this time of year before things pick up again.

The site has died like 8+ years ago.

It's just that you are new and have more to talk about, you are getting used to how the site actually is normally.

We are still going. Even if the budget the owner gives the team is much smaller than it used to be. 100% of Supporter money goes back to the writers and sales team. Okay, yes, that is mostly me with writing up the majority of the news and sales articles.

Not really in the mood to argue, but you do realize a major first-party game dropped last week, no? And also a few weeks ago. And then the week before that. All of this in addition to the Xenoblade upgrades and E3 leaks.

ResetEra remains exciting and same with X. This site just feel dead and barren.

Correct me if wrong... The list is:

  • Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. 80MC
  • Star Fox Remake. 81 MC
  • Splatoon Raiders. 81 MC

With all due respect. Not major games... More like small games that barely manage to reach 80's and likely not making a single blip in the radar of most gamers. At best "B" tier line.

And Xenoblade upgrade... it's just a upgrade, for real!?

Nintendo needs a new Zelda, 3D Mario, Smash, "Good" Pokemon games... That are some of the big hitters. Again, with all due respect, games listed are all small and of minor importance.

Imho, Zelda OoT needs to be a true "Banger", or 2026 will be a very weak year for Nintendo first party. 

Much like I'm still waiting for an exclusive Naughty Dog game to come out 6 years later, it takes time to make the big games these days.  The solid B to A- games keep you busy until the heavy hitters come out.

Foum-wise the site really has been dying out since some 7-8 years ago.

As of now the site has very little activity, and if the week/month in gaming is slow overall - which i think it currently is - it will reflect in here.

I was talking about the forums as the OP is about the threads.

IDK this site’s really been feeling a bit dull for me recently. Like a bit more than usual. Anybody else in the same boat as me? Or am I alone on this? I just feel like there’s never really any activity beyond the same old “Physical media is DYING!” or “Console sales are PLUMMETING!”

Maybe I’ll consider doing more threads again… the only issue is that it’s either I obsess about this site or I have little interest. Being that I have a very important exam for my master’s coming up, I feel like maybe the latter is a safer route. But I don’t like being so unexcited about this site.

(I suppose you could label this as a “Venting” thread lol.)

It's just a bit slow news-wise at the moment so not a lot of new stuff to talk over; I've also been unwell and having a bit of a mental blank as far as forum threads go, sorry about that, been meaning to post more but my brain isn't working.

I do hope you keep posting threads as I really enjoy your contributions! :)

Whoops. My bad.
