I believe that it's mental health issues involved where people feel that everything should be about them & them alone 😭.

100 great games can be revealed that seems perfectly fine & they will mostly go ignored by the loud Internet crowd but if there is 1 or 2 games that they deem unacceptable they will completely forget about all the other games & spend months crying about a game they don't even plan to buy or play 😂.


Besides the higher prices gaming is better than it has ever been . But even with the higher prices you can still game for cheap & sometimes free on devices you already own why are we so angry & unhappy?

How much do you get paid for your asinine posts?

People have standards, if i went to shop for groceries and 85% of them where rotten i would never step into the store again.

Same applies to game, but no we should suck it up and think of the devs jobs!!! its the only god damn profession where people can skate by and deliver shit constantly.

Unoptimized shit games made by 500 outsourced unskilled cheap workers that watched an indian ue5 tutorial on youtube, unreal eninge samey looking games that renders at 720p and you have to use framegen on high end hardware. i would accept it if the game where actually fun, but no they flat out suck compared to games released 10-20 years ago.

People are complaining about the wrong things. Pricing is not ina bad place even with $700 consoles and $80 games.

The real problem is that 80% of games shown in showcases this week outside of Sonys just look like trash. Who wants to play any of this garbage? Japanese studios are carrying the entire industry.

Most of you start crying about games at 1st sight it has nothing to do with unoptimized games.
 
Nostalgia basically.

KCD2 and Expedition 33 are incredible for example, but seeing big american developers in such weak form is sad, otherway we could be in a golden age.
 
"Gaming today is more versatile"

You're taking quantity for versatility. That's the problem. They make products now, not art. The times when a group of people got together in order to create their dream video game have passed, long forgotten. Now it's the big companies aiming for profit. Even studios like From Software churn out Elden Ring: Electric Boogalo #12345 to increase their revenue, milking it so thoroughly you'd have to be a victim of lobotomy not to notice. It's a sad sight to behold.

I thought it was good. Lots of new IP with some sequels mixed in. Some expansions and a few ports. Overall a lot of new, interesting stuff.
 
It's not my interest to complain or be negative or cry as you you say. It's my in interest to be excited and want to play what will hopefully be excellent games.

If stuff is shown that doesn't excite me I don't see why I should not say so.
 
mans been gaming for only a few years.

don't worry, you'll see it eventually how the oldies see it.

give it some time.
 
Because most of them only focus on "AAA" games and get mad that they're generic. If I were to only go see Hollywood blockbuster movies I would feel the same about the movie industry. But I don't. Still plenty of good games and good movies around. Just need to widen your view and stop digging this cynical hole for yourself.

We live in a time where low 1st week sales get you shunned online & people start counting down the days for your studio to be shut down. So yeah you're gonna see devs going for sales over taking big risks but lots of good games are out here for people to play.
 
You're wrong. Your take ignores the mass layoffs and studio closures happening left and right, a direct result of unsustainable business practices, not player "crying.

Yeah because they look like something made from a filmschool reject that would do anything besides make a compelling game. or something straight out of tumblr, i know instinctively that i will never play that so why even bother

Western game is on life support. BUT there's a few, very few devs carrying the torch still like Larian, Owlcat, Sandfall, maybe Inxile and other smaller studios. But then you look at Japan and their announcements dominated this summer.
 
Because it's internet and internet is about complaining and saying how jaded you become.

But hey if that's what they enjoy doing then let them.

Also GAF has become overly negative about almost everything…..don't let it get you down.
 
Gaming is more fragmented than ever now.

Gen Alpha's gaming tastes are the antithesis of GAF's gaming taste.

So you are wrong with your assertion

O onQ123


But I can see that this is a troll rage bait thread to sus out the old timer gamers.

I see your plot.

No I'm trying to stop all the rage because it seems that people just want to be unhappy now for some reason.

It's not the internet, it's human nature and why you all need to be put down.

Your 15 years of service are built on fraud and lies.

You say "for some reason". You are sounding like a GAF novice here.

You know the reason, and you disagree with it. That is fine.

Don't try this "for some reason" rage bait here.

My big issue is people complain about they don't take risk but when they do take risk they don't like it and say too "gimmicky"

There is no winning against this type of people.

Or maybe those generic games are the ones receiving all the complaints and we just assume these folks never try anything else. I complained loudly about the stuff in AC Shadows I didn't like but praised Astro Bot, Clair Obscur and Avowed. Lots of others were doing the same. We have some great OTs around here when folks come around to discuss as they play. That tells me it isn't all negative.

It's because these crabby bitches suck shit at gaming. Getting led by marketing budgets like children and then they splatter their depends when assasin's creed is boring. Or is full of mtx. Or it runs like shit. Then they can't even take it like a big kid and say they struck out? Maybe take some responsibility for a lazy, amateurish approach to gaming? They're bad at gaming.

Some of you have been doing this for decades. You should know what you like and know your blind spots and for ja's sake know that you have to fucking actively look for your next favorite game. That's The Real Game and you are bad at it. Fucking useless.

Think about it - If we ask each other what we've been playing, and I've been finding back to back bangers and you've been finding nothing but disappointment and garbage, I just bodied you. I washed you. I'm so much better than you at gaming.

Art? When I started playing consoles the average development time was from two to twelve weeks. Back then publishers ordered an engineer or two to make a move license game, and voila; Landfill.. Many games at the time were infamously bad, and very expensive. Even during the nostalgic arcade era shameless rip offs rehashes and artificial difficulty levels were the norm. Nobody should give a shit about the ratio of bad games when in the netto there are more good games out there now than there ever was in the past.

I agree, OP. I've been gaming for 32 years, and there's so much good stuff to play these days.

I've noticed that most of the terminally online people here and in other communities are extremely negative about everything. That's expected because they live in this bubble. I've minimized my social media engagement around gaming and started enjoying more games than ever. I recommend doing the same.

The only impressive about videogames these days is the tech behind that runs them.

He should probably stick to predicting the future and then quoting himself. That was a better shtick. Same narcissism, but at least it was funny.

Oh, I didn't realize it was 20 days old. I must've clicked into it from the Similar threads list. No evil intention, I promise. We can let it die.

Specialists and registered doctors always take half measures, there's %50 chance to every mental health topic to be true. It's never been %100 for sure.
 
Ragebait is more profitable than enjoying anything.

Said ragebait then enrages people to the point they no longer enjoy anything.
So then they blame the entire industry for being fucking shot.......and their ragebait is contagious so it breeds another who spreads it further.
Algorithms learn you like to watch ragebait so keeps sending you more.......soon your whole view of videogames is skewed and now you hate videogames in general yet keep talking about them so you can find other people who hate videogames as much as you do.


Mate if you cant find a game to play at pretty much any time of the year, you either have no life and literally play 24/7 so you complete everything in a day or you are just a pussy who enjoys complaining about shit, cuz theres good games galore....if you specifically want one specific game then thats a you problem not the industry.
Ive been wanting a Skies of Arcadia 2 since the year 2000, just because I havent gotten that exact game i dont bitch about every non Skies of Arcadia 2 game being shit or that ive got standards or whatever stupid excuses people who hate the industry have these days.
If the entire industry is shit, leave.......what kind of masochist would stick around in an industry they clearly hate that they think hates them for years, like years on end?


Literal snowflakes......and that used to be the other side.


Now the only thing the "hardcore" do is bitch and moan.


How are people bemoaning the whole industry when weve had banger after banger for years.
Not every game needs to be a 90+ meta to be an absolutely great game, dont even look at the meta because its skewing your own perceptions, just enjoy the game.


Last year had:
  • Prince of Persia The Lost Crown - Yes its a good game, it bombed but its a great game
  • Astro Bot
  • Erd Tree
  • Mario Party
  • Flight Sim 2024
  • Banishers
  • Stellar Blade
  • SW Outlaws
  • STALKER 2
  • Granblue Relink
  • HellDivers 2
  • Indika
  • Black Myth
  • Luigis Mansion 2
  • Fantasian out of Apple Arcade
  • ReFantazio
  • Space Marine 2
  • Age of Mythology
  • Unicorn Overlord
  • Frostpunk 2
  • Daybreak
  • Rebirth
  • Tekken 8
  • Infinite Wealth
  • Satisfactory



Thats not even a full list of the great games that came out last year, like every genre had something.
And 2025 has already been dropping some bangers.
You telling me outta all those games, all of them are shit and/or not for you??

Gaming today is nowhere near as good as the Gamecube/PS2/Xbox 360 generation
