"The death of local multi-player" felt that one, my little sister decided she wanted to play a game with me, I went searching my collection for something we could play together. I first went for the PS4, because it was the newest, there was nothing to play together, I had to pull out my ps3, a console as old as she is, so we could play a game.

I remember, my 2 brothers and I all had a DS and mario kart. One evening our parents took us to eat at a restaurant and at one point while waiting for them to finish their dessert we went to the game room, we all had our DS with Mario Kart and we started playing, then another kid and his sister entered the room, they also had DSs but only one cartridge for the both of them but it didnt mattered, we could all play together. We spent like an hour on the balloon battle mode duking it out before our parents were done with their meal. Nowadays i dont think i could do that with my switch even on mario kart 8 or mario party, i miss that feeling of "anywhere, anytime with anybody"

Halo 5 removing split screen entirely made me not want to play it, because for me a significant part of the fun of games is playing with people (I can enjoy games with friends but hate playing them alone) And if I have to buy TWO copies of a game, and (in the case of Halo 5) a SECOND console to play with my siblings, then I won't enjoy it as much. Replayability (for me) is also pretty dependant on wether or not I can play with friends, I can play the same game for years and have just as much fun throughout if there's other people, and the easiest way to play with people I enjoy playing with is couch CO-OP. Going back to Halo as an example, I have played Halos 1 through 4 several times over, going through the campaigns or messing around in Forge/custom gamemodes with my siblings (mostly through split screen), but I played the campaign of 5 once, and then never picked it up again because none of my friends own an Xbox/Halo 5.

The 00s were the perfect blend of the 80s and 90s "nerd devs" who were experimental and devoted and the modern publishers with their reach, focus, and budget. It helped that video games in general were niche enough to be for the fans first and foremost but popular enough to get some money behind them. Now, anything AAA is corporate all the way through, and video games are so mainstream the average consumer is easily placated by garbage that hits a few check boxes.

Very true. EA recently bought the developer Codemasters. They made one of my favorite franchises of all time, DiRT Rally. The games were amazing, you could tell that it was a passion project for the devs, the series is attached to Colin McRae's name who was one of the most legendary rally drivers ever. He was practically the embodiment of the sport itself. One of the devs even became a rally driver himself. At the beginning of this month EA and Codemasters released EA WRC, an officially licensed game of the highest level of rally driving. Rally has a rich history full of stories of drivers fighting against each other, the elements, and their own cars. EA made them release a sloppy unfinished mess that doesn't live up to the legacy of their prior releases, and more importantly in my mind, doesn't live up to the fans love of both the games and the sport. I know it's a bit stupid to be really upset about a game being bad, but I don't think I've ever been this disappointed in a game ever. EA finally came for the game I loved the most and sucked the soul out of it.

Id consider this problem #1. Video games always needed to be profitable, but now they need to be EVEN MORE profitable, year after year. Got a guy with passions? Fuck him, get him off the team, we need a yes-man. Look at Cyberpunk, the creators KNEW the game was broken as fuck and nowhere near ready for release. Arguably they were mismanaged if it took 8 damn years to make a finished game but still, back in the day they would just push back release because they wanted to make a good game. But Cyberpunk was profitable before it even hit the market because of the hype. The company literally couldnt care less if it failed. Worse case scenario, they sell the company to fuckin EA for a quarter billion dollars, go home with a cool $5mil bonus, and walk away as the developers get paid dogshit for being part of the "team that bungled Cyberpunk."

Surely by now you must know that your entire argument is the reason these companies don't give a shit and will release buggy unfinished games because people such as yourself will still defend them because they made a game you loved in the past. Idk how many times I've seen this exact conversation happen and here you are proving that there's no end in sight to fans giving companies passes. Open your eyes man, Activision and EA and especially blizzard used to make fantastic games until they didn't. We gave them excuses because we didn't want to accept that shits changed and sure enough they abused our trust and loyalty until we ended up at this point where ppl like me have to explain to ppl like you who still try to hold on to hope that the next time will be different. Cdpr is supposed to be different somehow because the witcher was good yet they managed to make the same mistakes as their competitors continue to do to this day and you're giving them a pass bc it was their first time? Hold them accountable for their bullshit and maybe, just maybe, they won't keep fucking it up over and over in the future. I have zero expectations that it'll ever be great again in gaming anytime soon but giving free passes for bullshit needs to end because it gives them more reason not to do any better. We're all tired of it man, I basically play single player games or indie stuff these days but I spend 95% less time gaming and it's not because I've grown older but because gaming has gone corporate and it's just the same old recycled shit or just plain bugged out garbage that asks you for money every time you play. It's all remasters too since they're too afraid to take risks on anything new, just like movies.

@@ash-vx5bs they blatantly lied about the game running surprisingly well on last gen consoles, they knew the game was an unfinished buggy mess that the testers or whatever group they got to play the game before release said the game probably wouldn't be ready until 2022(and that was for pc) and I guarantee you there was some analysts who said ok the game isn't finished but there's so much hype and loyal customers who believe in this company from our witcher series and did the math ending up deciding that there would be more ppl who wouldn't refund than not or maybe they just said fuck it release it anyways. I mean how are we gonna give them a pass for that? It's like if you are working on a presentation for your job right and that presentation is for a huge client that your business desperately needs and you keep telling your boss yeah its going so good I'm gonna have it finished next week, we're gonna land those clients and you just hype the fuck out of it and your boss says great I will have them fly in next week for your presentation. And when it's presentation time you walk in there drunk with a shit presentation, a bad half assed pitch and your slides don't work so you just wing it and it goes overwhelmingly bad and the clients leave and never want to do business with your company again. Do you think your boss would give you another chance for the next big client? Shit he probably would just fire you. The way that mess was handled should give you a good indication that they don't care about their fans and customers and this whole debacle was just a test to see how bad it really would be if they did the same shit those other companies do. I believe it was something like more than half of the original devs from the witcher series already left the company and they just pump out contractors these days so how can we expect for them to not release another buggy mess next time. When long time devs leave the company the same way we've seen at other companies like blizzard, the games end up what they are these days. Soulless cashgrab garbage. I'm glad a lot of ppl are holding these companies accountable and just aren't playing those games anymore because they know it's just a waste of time and money. I hope you're right and I'm wrong about cdpr but only time will tell. I won't be holding my breath though.

My main gripe against modern games is the fact that a lot of times they are just not designed to end. You play it until you can't force yourself anymore and then looking back at the game there is no real satisfaction or nostalgia. My favorite games of all time have been games that I can look back on and think "wow I loved that game so much". Chrono Trigger, earthbound, mother 3, escape from monkey Island, etc. Its better to be sad that a game has reached its end then to be happy that you finally left the game.

I wanna take some time and analyze this some, not this comment particularly, just the sentiment. it's gonna be long so don't read this if you don't wanna discuss this.: I believe that immersion can be broken up into two categories, and games usually fall into one of those two catagories.: Narrative Immersion and Mechanical Immersion. Individual players will usually favor games and franchises that have a focus on one of these types of immersion with breaks to experience the other type of immersion. Narrative immersion is fairly obvious, they're games that have a focus on being an interactive story, and they'll emphasize as much. Starting the game up and losing yourself in a world and universe of good characters, writing, events and intrigue that, are more reminiscent of the joys of a good book. Games that really cater to the audience with this interest are games like Monkey Island, Sam and Max, Grim Fandango, and Maniac Mansion. A lot of point and click adventures fall into this catagory, but aren't stereotypical for narrative immersion as a whole, after all we have games like Bioshock(1,2, and Infinite), Assassin's Creed(1-3), and World of Warcraft that worked really well within this framework. Another genre that falls into this catagory has the fairly unkind description(as Ahoy has mentioned) of Walking Simulators. Mechanical Immersion is one that isn't as obvious in it's description but _is_ obvious in it's experience. Games that have engaging mechanics and gameplay but with less emphasis on story. Games like these are good at replicating what's called the Flow State. That experience that every player has gone through of playing so well yet being challenged enough, that in your mind the controls just melt away, the moment the world around you fades and the game becomes an experience in of itself, and the experience just comes naturally to you. Excellent examples of this are Guitar Hero, DDR, Rock Band, DOOM, Battlefield, CoD, Twisted Metal, Forza, Mario Kart, and Crash Team Racing amongst a plethora of others. This is where I prefer to hang my hat. Games that have an end are easier to have an appreciation for, and are more likely to be remembered as works of art, just as we've seen with books. I feel that for a game to not have an end, it must deliver on a good mechanical immersion in order to ensure it's survival and/or be remembered fondly(weirdly enough, Quake has done this.). Narrative immersion would be impossible to achieve if there is no end to the game, because *ALL* stories must come to an end. it's just that in regard to multiplayer games, a lot of the business models we've seen implemented over the last decade or so have watered down the experience as a whole, making mechanical immersion much harder to achieve.

Pokemon in particular has this problem Despite the continuous growth in not only budget, but team size as well, the game's quality have become shakier and shakier over time And despite this, despite the overwhelming amount of flaws in the games, people still buy them as if it's the last time they'll ever be able to buy a game ever again Initially, I was excited for sword and shield, that is until I saw the first screenshots and demos of it (that showcased a very unfinished looking game despite the proximity of the release) and I eventually lost interest entirely, not only in pokemon, but in modern nintendo as a whole, when I heard that pokemon (among others) were just not nearly as technically or mechanically deep as previous games (plus it didn't help it looked like a wii game despite the hardware being at least twice as powerful as the wii) but still sold as well (if not better) than almost any other game in the entire series All's I'm saying is if a game doesn't look like it'll be as good as you were expecting, don't buy it, your instincts will probably ultimately end up being right

Then they started talking about making it free to play so they added the loot llamas and boatloads of MTX, then it was going to be free to play when it "released properly" with the founders' pack to become a beta player which is when they added mission grinding, and then it just never released properly.

The only reason STW was 'disappointing" to many of us was because it was conceived and released too late, announced too early, and has 3 core flaws, the repetitive gameplay cycle and the fact the game had players was that is was associated with battle royale, doesn't help the fact had an awful implementation of micro transactions in a paid early access, slow and lacking updates. I think STW could've been a decent game if they focused on it more earlier in its life.

I also disagreed with this part of the video for slightly different reasons. My friends and I are all in our 30s and it's just easier to play games over the internet than it is to all get together and sit in the same physical space. I have lots of friends, but many of them have wives, kids, jobs, and live more than a block away from me. Lots of games come out nowadays with local coop only (Cook Serve Delicious, Wizard of Legend, Cuphead, etc.) This always annoys me because they are amazing games with 0 online support and don't even get me started on Steam Couchplay which is the laggiest thing in the world.

Game dev used to be cheaper but due to games like GTAV getting massive revenue streams games suddenly mr business is really interested in making games but they need charts and research that shows games will be profitable. Basically risks can cost you money and people are not as likely to take risks with how much it costs to make an Aaa game

The Video game crash of 1983 will probably happen again in the near future. The amount of "trash" being produced is getting higher and higher. Executives want games to come out faster and faster to keep up with the increasing demand, but there is simply not enough programers in the workforce. Only a small fraction of people know how game developemnt works, even less people are good at it. This forces companies to abuse their employees and hire low skilled programers, further damaging the quality of the end product. And this is without the predatory tactics such as microtransactions.

It didn't help that it was also announced at a Dota 2 event, a game which has very different principles with its microtransactions than an online card game. In Dota 2, microtransactions are solely used for cosmetic purposes, whereas a game like Artifact basically forces you to spend money to buy card packs.

I play new and old games everyday. Some is nostalgia, especially for 5th generation titles, but most of it is legitimate. The original FEAR(2005) is some of the most responsive and impressive single player shooting action ever presented, and it easily trumps any singleplayer FPS campaign. Burnout 3(2004) has the some of the greatest audio/visual design of any racing game, and the slickest most satisfying arcade racing that I haven't experienced since. The sense of speed in NFS:S(2009) is unmatched to this day despite having a direct sequel. The NPC interaction and the physics presented in GTAIV were downgraded for the online-designed GTAV, so GTAIV(2008) still epitomizes the gameplay to the genre. Far Cry 2(2008), despite some obnoxious game-play features and a story that's as transparent as vaseline, still has a distinct advantage in environmental and enemy interaction in the series, and the weapons feel much more powerful. There are plenty of examples to show how screwed we are in game evolution, but one shining case against this is RDR2, that game is a true testament for what any game can be when it comes to graphic and design detail.

It's not even nostalgia. I just hate that contemporary games are designed around trying to peddle something to me like a door to door salesman at every given moment. Want to collect all the shine sprites in Mario Sunshine, sure just go get them. Want to collect all the moons in Mario Odessey, don't forget to stop by the cosmetics store. Want to unlock a weapon skin in MW2, better get more headshots. Want to get a certain weapon skin in Modern Warfare Reboot, better buy battlepass or lootboxes. Want to buy a better weapon in Assassin's Creed 2, progress in the story and get it from the blacksmith. Want one in Assassin's Creed Unity, well you're not a high enough level to buy it normally, but you could get it with some Ubi-dollars. Shadow of Mordor, a single player $60 game, trying to sell time savers and XP boosters to make their game less boring than the way they created it is the absolute epitome of everything wrong with developers being run roughshod by marketing and accounting. Odyssey's movement controls and mechanics blow Sunshine out of the water. Modern Warfare's control refinement (balance) and customization beat MW2. And Unity's parkour, architecture, and combat are fantastic. But it's like that episode of Spongebob: "I feel like someone... IS TRYING TO SELL ME SOMETHING!" (He's onto us.)

Just wanted to add another comment : Gaming is an art industry - imagine if Da Vinci only had few hours instead of years to make a Mona Lisa. The main concern of the most companies in this business is to grow their loyal fanbase, which is hard when there are so many games made almost daily that rapidly draw attention away from other projects. Thats why early access exist, thats why open beta tests exist, thats why DLCs were invented and most games are often rushed into the release state - companies do everything possible nowadays to keep their fanbase entertained and hyped for long enough so they would be around to buy a company's new product, or else their sales might flop, which leads to a bankruptcy

The main concern of most companies in this business is to fatten their wallets. That's why DLC was invented, and most games are often rushed into the release state - companies do everything possible to get as much money out of their "fanbase" as possible for as little work as possible. Gaming has largely been corporatized, you won't find any passion for the craft outside of indie developers, just a passion for making money. It doesn't matter if they cater to their audience or not, idiots will still buy their product; bankruptcy is never a concern for a AAA game company.

Or maybe it's just a tactic, who knows.

The thing about Artifact, it was more of a response to Valve as a whole than the game. Artifact was the first game theyd announced between 2013-2018. and if you want to disregard Dota 2, that gap expands to 2011-2018. A legendary dev that had gone silent for many years finally announced a new project, and it was just a card game. Not a left 4 dead 3, not half life 3, not portal 3, not a brand new IP that would push the envelope. Something that immediately appeared to be trying to capture the audience of Hearthstone or Magic. If they had released any kind of traditional game within the 3 years prior, the response to Artifact wouldnt have been anywhere close to that extreme. If you really pay attention to the live reaction, everybody was into it even on the screen announcing the title. Until the exact moment the screen says "card game"

Feel like another reason for why modern games can only either be huge or small titles with no inbetween is because nowadays games that fit the current technological standards are far more expensive to make than before (you have shit like rockstar having multiple developers just to make the horse's ball physics in rdr2) and thus, since companies don't want to face backlash due to not having perfect photorealistic graphics they either go all in or instead create smaller indie titles. This is why the PS2 era was arguably the best videogame era of all time, the cost of making good, groundbreaking games was just right for it to not break the game's budget, which would also explain why there was a lot more genre and thematic variety in games back then

"where is the game?". I think it would be more accurate to say the budgets for AAA games are being mismanaged causing to much funds to go to graphics instead of making sure they have a game that is fun and worth playing. However this could also be the developer fault as well. It could be staff driven issue who have expectations of there own of what a good game should "look like" and failing to meat that expectation is failure to make a good game. ... hard to say.

@@xaviersaavedra7442 Why not? Creativity was vastly superior in this era, the hardware was finally capable of proper 3D environments without it blowing budgets or having a pixelated mess with clunky controls. In comparison to today, you either have live services (team shooters mostly) or cutscene/vehicle simulators unless you go indie. What also helped in my opinion is that it was a very experimental era. There was no trend. In the past, it was 2D or 3D platformers, for the PS3 era it was military FPS and now it's fully live service multiplayers. Also, games came in their entirety on disc which means you can still play them today like they were new. They don't rely on servers. Speaking of servers, multiplayer games were in their infacy back then, however it was entirely free for supported games. So you had co-op and online multiplayer, especially on the original Xbox... and the best part about it is that the multiplayer wasn't a live service, there was no grind or addiction, just basic good old fun. Before the PS2 era, games are normally criticized because they were actually very short (1-3 hours long) once you stopped dying every minute. Dying and recouping lost progress was the "fun". Saving was also more complicated, the N64 and PS1 did try to fix this issue although most games either had horribly long distant checkpoint placements or things like passwords still. The PS2 and Xbox have perfected it. Another aspect I would like to point out is that besides the Dreamcast, all other consoles did well and competition was fierce. Despite the PS2 outselling the competition, each console had a lot of bangers and offered many reasons to own them. If I was an adult back then, I would have tried to buy all 3 (PS2, Xbox and Gamecube) because they were actually worth owning. Nowadays I can just game almost everything on my PC, there is zero excitment over these new consoles. This is why a lot of people - including me - look at the 6th gen as the best one. It was powerful enough to change the landscape (in a good way), offer much needed quality of life improvements, all consoles offered great games, the limitations of the past were gone and it's fondly remembered as the last generation before the aggressive monetization, shortage of creativity and other bad things like paid online.

Great take! One minor dispute - the move to multiplayer wasn’t driven primarily by Minecraft, it had been a trend since early 00s due to companies seeing popularity of multiplayer FPS’s. Certainly Minecraft contributed but I wouldn’t characterize Minecraft as having driven developers to build it in needlessly, they just helped accelerate the trend.

There's a difference between realistic and aesthetic graphics. Things can be highly stylized and simple if they commit to and capture a pleasing aesthetic - and look awesome; and there's games that value realism above all else (even gameplay), which tends to get boring and age worse - or it hasn't gotten enough resources in production so it looks unpolished from the release.

I've watched the entire history of modern videogames in my lifetime. It began with the "Graphics Wars" when advertising started convincing young, inexperienced gamers that better graphics=better games. The quality of the design of games started slowly slipping and although a few games managed to pull through and bring graphics+gameplay, but most games started to become 1-play and then shelved forever interactive movies. It got worse when DLC arrived. People were excited to get more content from their favorite games, but it was all an excuse to charge more money for less work and release unfinished products. After that, monetizing upgrades and skins became more common and we continued crashing downhill. Imo, Nintendo is the company that has taken the least of these horrible ideas as far as the other companies, but Nintendo has it's own share of unique issues mainly falling under the category "Give people everything but what they ask for." Stop buying new games, let the industry die, and wait for the next renaissance. Fkn control yourselves or it will NEVER improve.

I liked it but I wish it didn't cut out so much content from the original. RE2 Remake did this as well, making the Leon and Claire scenarios end up with almost the same cutscenes and bosses for their respective scenarios. Leon never fought G4 Birkin and Claire never fought the Super Tyrant like they could in the original. But it wasn't as bad as RE3 Remake's cuts with it cutting out entire sections from the original like the park, clock tower, dead factory, and making the city feel shorter as well as not having much to make you replay the game like story-altering decisions and Mercanaries: Operation Mad Jackal. Capcom's work on RE2 Remake gave me hope for RE3 Remake. It wasn't a complete disappointment but rather a decrease from "great" to "good". History repeats itself: RE2 is better than RE3.
