At this point I'm convinced that only people who exclusively play AAA western games are concerned about the industry, I've said it before here at GAF but I'll say it again "you guys seriously need to broaden the type of games you play" Indies and Asian devs have been releasing bangers in the recent years, so overall I'm optimistic especially when Nintendo is literally about to release a new console.
Wow, these are my opinions and feelings - word for word.The industry's direction doesn't appeal to me, on many levels, that's for sure. And i'm not the kind of guy perpetually chasing the next big thing, i don't think i'm impatient and always unsatisfied. But i am critical even of the most praised games we've been getting lately.
I would say my biggest issue is not so much that gaming has become stale, but it's that this global uniformization really destroyed a big part of gaming. Indie games don't cover a lot of subgenres that were at their strongest during PS2 gen or even 360. The big split between indie games and AAA is really at the core of what's wrong in my opinion.
That being said, i'm only negative regarding the current direction of the industry and the latest AAA, i could play only retro games from now and be completely satisfied with gaming.
you became a woman?Me as a kid:
Me now:
We're going to live in a world with Lego Horizon
There has to be something wrong with you if you're not hyped
This is precisely what we need the least, as far as I am concerned.We need UE5 game,AI
I have been slowly moving away from modern gaming. I still play Fortnite with my friends on Tuesday night, but otherwise I’ve been playing games from the 360 era and earlier. In fact, I’ve been playing the recompiled Majora’s Mask for the past week and I’m excited to see what that brings.
I’m excited for Switch 2, but realistically will be waiting for Animal Crossing (I always put a huge amount of time in those games.Wait you can get that like right now? I thought we were still waiting wtf.
On-topic yeah I'm excited. Switch 2
