Hence, shorter games with worse quality were made so older gamers are more likely to try it and be able to complete it at least given the busy schedule of an adult with either one or more of the following: a career pathway to focus on, an internship/job, taking care of a family, etc. As well as replay/remaster it again (if they really like it) in their spare time." On the other end of the spectrum, we have young gamers who are just playing their first game and would then proceed to call it trash or not as good because the intended audience for those 'shorter games made in exchange for worse graphics" wasn't them until "they" (the young gamers) grow older and get nostalgia during their adult lives with more responsibilities.

I realized a few years ago I prefer short games with a lot of heart than 100+ hours open-worlds that don't give me anything except "add +2 to the stack of ressources you never use anyway and a few levels maybe". I enjoyed a bunch of really small games (a few hours) and I was like "wow... it's been years I didn't felt so much emotion". To fuel the number of hours or the "endless/infinite" experience, it basically needs to make the games as deep as a puddle. I saw the whole "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to do less" and it basically was it. Do we need textures so precised they are looking almost realistic ? No, we need good art direction. Do we need 100+ hour games for 60-70 bucks ? No, we need games that we love so much we want to play them again I'm more excited for indie games than I am for AAA because I know they put all their soul and heart in those games, that they mean something to the people who create them, more than "a bunch of executives said we need to add that for the next game to make more money" At the point I am in my life, I can play all the games I want, yet I realize I care less and less about games I need to put hundreds of hours into because I can pay for other games, in contrast to when I was young and could only play a few games per year if I was lucky. And great games still exists, but maybe not where they used to be produced. Outer Wilds is a blast, Hollow Knight is fantastic, Inscryption is incredible.

When I was a kid, I remember playing COD Black Ops 2 and the Halo games with my brother and having a blast but now I’ve shifted over to playing single player games like the Fallout, Farcry, and Elder Scrolls despite the fact that some of these games are over 10 years old but they’ve got so much charm, story, and still a fun experience despite playing some of them so many times

[@Bhunky_]

Thats how I felt when Epic gave out the Bioshock collection for free, never played the games as a kid because I didn’t understand it. But going through all 3 games was so amazing, most fun I’ve had playing games in a while. Now a game I strive to play again after many years is “The Darkness” but it’s probably butt as far as I know

I often think about the early to mid 2000s PS2, GameCube, XBOX era. The industry was so full of creativity and freedom at the time, and so many classics because of it. Developers were able to take risk back then that resulted in some if the greatest games of all time being made. Def Jam vendetta started out as a crazy idea that two dudes who loved hip hop thought up and that along with its sequel became a classic. Something like that can just never happen again in gaming and it’s so sad man. Biggest thing to me that’s apparent here is that developers used to be run by gamers. Now it’s just run by corporate suits who literally only care about money over quality. I love gaming, but I’m glad to know I’m not the only one getting sick of what it’s becoming. Thank god we got to live through a time where creativity could thrive to give us the best memories and experiences through the games we got back then.

[@MisterVercetti]

This is exactly why I feel like another industry-level crash on par with '83 is just on the horizon. With the overwhelming surge of high-profile AAA failures over the past couple of years, particularly in the live-service sector, I feel like the gaming community's patience is finally starting to run out. The current AAA business model simply isn't sustainable, and it's not going to take much longer for the house of cards to finally collapse on itself. Here's to hoping that the indie scene leads us out of it into a new gaming renaissance, the same way Japanese developers led us out of the first crash.

[@Tony-ct9sd]

I really hope so, I also noticed that people patience is running out but at the same time there are alot of people who lie to themselves and just excuse it as either "developing costs!" or "dont buy it if u dont want to" without realizing how it ruins their experience too. Or the classic "but its free to play!"

[@JOSHPINT]

that's the thing, there's no actual charm to modern games right now, most of it are just a plain cashgrab to be honest, I lost my hope since Cyberpunk 2077 was released, thinking that it would really put up a challenge to modern AAA games that these god knows who publishers are releasing, lo and behold it's another shitshow same like how ouya was released, overhyped and underdelivered. Right now, i just put my hopes in to these indie games that i see from time to time. Though all these AAA remasters are good too, I just want something unique at this point (hence i get into indie gaming). 2 cents here

It’s because these live service games are over saturating the market and they don’t contribute anything unique, so they all feel the exact same. The reason BotW and Elden Ring were so popular and successful was because they actually tried to be unique.

In the case of call of duty war zone 2, they do have playlists and I think the reason for the playlist is so that they don't dilute the servers.

I'm of the firm belief that constraints breed creativity. These big game giants used to be small time companies. Smaller budgets, smaller scale.

Now these entities can throw money around willynilly, with seemingly little repercussions.

I love that game, I just wish it didn't look so....roblox. But the gameplay is just good enough for me to tolerate it. Graphics aren't everything, but shit, this just takes me out of it compared to like Squad, rs2, or bf4. I get it is a spinoff of a roblox mod, but still. It is like the complete opposite of most games today, decent gameplay but garbage graphics, vs great graphics and no gameplay.

[@ItsSerranoHD]

@@crispybatman480 I guess I'm just the type of guy that can look past graphics. I thought it was silly at first, but by about 10 minutes in I didn't care and I was having a blast. The Roblox-y look does lend it some charm and lets the players not take it *too* seriously and just have fun. It does also let even potato-PC players get into the game, something that modern AAA games (especially Battlefield) fail to accommodate, and still have the best parts of those games and some features that it even beats out 2042 on (destruction, squad management, VOIP and text chat, etc.).

[@frxn211]

it makes me sad it took 2042 2 yeas to actually be fun and even then the game's map design is so.. odd. There never is any kind of "line" where you can logically guess enemies come from. Hard to explain but in BF3-4-1 there were these lines you'd draw from points taken and guess where the enemy would come from. Not the case in 2042.

[@frxn211]

Worst part is the game's gunplay and feel is actually SO much better now. But this one thing makes the game experience of any kind just shitty. The maps and environments are just as clunky as every other BF (I mean, they feel like virtual battlegrounds rather than actual environments. But that's fine considering the size and scope of all of them) but the whole movement and map design ends up frustrating me so much

[@PixP6]

The hippopotamus or hippo (/ˌhɪpəˈpɒtəməs/ HIP-ə-POT-ə-məs; pl: hippos, hippopotamuses or hippopotami; Hippopotamus amphibius), further qualified as the common hippopotamus, Nile hippopotamus, or river hippopotamus, is a large semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis). Its name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse" (ἱπποπόταμος). After elephants and rhinos, the hippopotamus is the next largest land mammal. It is also the largest extant land artiodactyl. Despite their physical resemblance to pigs and other terrestrial even-toed ungulates, the closest living relatives of the hippopotamids are cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.), from which they diverged about 55 million years ago. Hippos are recognisable for their barrel-shaped torsos, wide-opening mouths with large canine tusks, nearly hairless bodies, pillar-like legs, and large size: adults average 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) for bulls (males) and 1,300 kg (2,900 lb) for cows (females). Despite its stocky shape and short legs, it is capable of running 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances. Hippos inhabit rivers, lakes, and mangrove swamps. Territorial bulls each preside over a stretch of water and a group of five to thirty cows and calves. Mating and birth both occur in the water. During the day, hippos remain cool by staying in water or mud, emerging at dusk to graze on grasses. While hippos rest near each other in the water, grazing is a solitary activity and hippos typically do not display territorial behaviour on land. Hippos are among the most dangerous animals in the world due to their aggressive and unpredictable nature. They are threatened by habitat loss and poaching for their meat and ivory (canine teeth).

Your not the only one who feels this way Munda keep strong and play the games you love. These days you got to wait a month or two after a game comes out to know if it worth playing.
