Felt motivated to do a video on this topic cause I hear about stuff like this on the *REGULAR* these days

[@Vitali87]

The more games we have the less we game so true, just like Netflix thousands of shows and still nothing to watch.

[@RAV3NxGUARD]

Ngl to me gaming has taken a dive. But I’m 100% okay with replaying any game as long as it was memorable the first time. (Plays uncharted 4 & Lost Legacy for the 100,000th time) 😅

[@Project-Aries]

😃It just seems like you hate videogames with that talk. Videogames are created by pioneers and creative minds that dream of making something special. Some love the challenge and experimental technology to push the culture forward. This YT video conveys a more commercial or superficial side of games. True videogame programmers, designers, artist, composers and developers would do it for free. Basically -there are various reasons a person would choose to create videogames and money is rarely the motivation. However, today only corporations and greed along with empty fans that are slaves to algorithms and mixed narratives-- Inject their toxic opinions on the internet. This includes media, youtubers and anyone with access to the internet with any platform big or small. We understand there are different types of gamers. People play what they like. This video is a prime reactment of a clout based gamer or (CBG). The Pinnacle Gamer which is someone like myself, is not swayed by reviews, prices, platforms, and technology. I am a gamer for the experiences and new ground in these devices that can stimulate one's mind and create worlds within our own. Games are a challenge to both the player and creator. The holo deck which exists in the Sci-FI TV series Star Trek is a prediction of the final form of gaming. Let the sheep debate thier nonsense for attention clicks and views. Let the pioneers push forward with exciting new ideas. 🤰🏿

In my opinion I love gaming it’s something I’ve always enjoyed doing. When it comes to these types of topics such as the state of gaming I always just remember you can choose to view things through a negative or pessimistic view point or look at it from the perspective that the games I like to play will always be there and if new games are not matching that quality I simply just don’t buy them

[@CagedPhoenixThe1st]

Yes! Much easier to complete other things because there's not much worth playin anymore

[@kalatheballa]

I've come to that conclusion just recently, instead of feeling like I have to grind the newest game, I play at my own pace. If I wanna play a 4 year old game for hours at a time I'll do it. Sounds weird but when games drop so often I'd feel like I had to be on top of them all. Currently playing State of Decay 2 and having a blast.

[@billjohnson4047]

I agree with you

[@hellwashere3821]

I think some people are confusing negativity with criticism or even just being realistic about things.

[@thelegit969]

As I get older, i’ve been playing older games that I never got to play during my teenage years…mainly due to money. I’m having a blast playing the Ezio collection on my Xbox series x at 60gps thanks to fps boost.

[@ChrisValentine12384]

A little bit infuriating at times due to the outdated controls but definitely worth playing through in it's entirety!

[@Pointman11111]

Ive bought most of the Marvel games that came out during the ps2 era, since the pandemic started and even though i may only played them about 1 or 2 hrs, it blows my mind how todays games are not even have half of their features or mechanics. This goes also f.e. for Insomniacs spider man, which is a good high quality game but it misses some things. As if they wanted to play it safe, for now.

[@xaby996]

Very well put! For me it's two major points. First, I'm in my mid 30s and have a wife, 2 kids, and a full time career. I just don't have the time that I used to. ( the steam deck has been the best thing for my back log in years). And the 2nd point is yes, there are just soooo many great games out there. The indie scene is just crazy, and the value of pc gaming... My God. There just isn't enough time in the day.

[@metalnerd3855]

For a new generation they haven't brought out a bunch of worthy next generation games and are doing remasters left and right,and the microtransactions implementation that some games utilize, I appreciate the older games running better on the newer systems.

It’s always been about money the difference now with game pass is the money is spread across a huge Catalog of games and too get things like cosmetics you gotta buy separately and games outside of game pass 60 too 70 dollars.

Love the editing and take on the current state of gaming! I find that the older I get, the more casual I become. I find that I get less and less hours to play due to work and life obligations. With all that being said, I am looking forward to purchasing Callisto Protocol (may take me forever to finish though).

[@shyff2188]

Great video, keep making more of these 🔥 The games that get the most attention (marketing power) are not the most original/fun & that’s unfortunate. But there are still a lot of great indies to play & you’re right, we’re just too spoiled as gamers nowadays.

[@gamerd8709]

Man you spoke my feelings into existence about gaming now days

[@gtylerbrown2]

I think gaming overall hasn't changed very much. I think the issue is devs we used to have faith in are not as good anymore or they release less often. There also seems to be a large amount gamers who only want to play the big AAA titles. This leads to long gaps for them since game dev times are getting longer.

[@terrel126]

I think the problem is me growing up games at most were $50 dollars so it was affordable you were not as mad if it was not that good because you did not spend a lot to buy it and so you could enjoy it more. Compared to nowadays your spending $70 dollars minimum and could go up more so now your not just going out buying games to buy games you have to be careful, look at reviews which is going to change ur views on a game being good or trash thus making you miss out on opportunities on great games. We live in a culture of everything has to be right now so for me I wait about a year after a drop so it’s more affordable for me to play it just requires a lot more patience hence sometimes it feels dry because I’m not living in the moment

[@brehdem]

Jeremy I haven't watched one of your videos for what feels like years and this is the first one I watched in a long time and it was really good, I can see you in a future Netflix docuseries :D

[@RoninGhost]

We need more of these kinds of serious videos dealing with these interesting topics that gets the viewers to thinking about

[@MyManJFKTV]

Ay man…this is an extremely well made and insightful video, and I have to agree with most of the things you’ve said. Gaming in its current state pales in comparison to the feeling I used to get from previous generations with game releases, but it could also have somethin’ to do with me gettin’ older, findin’ success in my career, and startin’ up a family of my own. I don’t have the time I used to have to seemingly endlessly play games, but the time I do spend with games doesn’t quite hit my soul the way it used to.

[@ryanhashimoto9189]

Delays, micro transactions, battle passes, sbmm in multiplayer games are stuff that is my biggest issue

[@jaahman0098]

I still enjoy gaming especially playing single player games. What helps is not only playing AAA games and staying away from most multiplayer games. Because mp games are just for your money instead of producing a product to be played for years. I suggest also playing different genres and experiment. So many hidden gems that are overlooked. I think gamers are also spoiled there are so many games out and people don’t bother playing what’s out now and instead just keeps looking for the next thing

[@TheOnlyTaps]

Yeah 💯, there's a lotta good titles that get slept on coz of that constant MP grind people have. And it makes sense coz MP is always gonna be fun playin with the homies but those games rely more on that community and aspect of playing with the homies than actually being good so they end up just being monetized to kingdom come. I love that single player games kinda allow ya to just get caught into a little world and escape in all these different stories the way you'd escape into like a movie/TV show. People just gotta stop giving their money to the mediocre releases and constant MP cash cows but unfortunately as we've seen if companies see they can constantly milk something with loot boxes and microtransactions they constantly will coz it would be bad business not to, if the customer base is willing.

[@TheOnlyTaps]

And the genre thing is so key. There's loads of folks who don't necessarily play games out their comfort zone and then there's folks who also constantly chase the next thing you'll see people grinding a game in like a week or something then saying they bored and I'm like bruh I'm still outchea chasing backlog 😂 like this year with all the titles I've enjoyed i still haven't had time to touch something like Elden Ring and i know with God Of War and The Callisto Protocol dropping imma probably go through those and they'll take me into 2023 then I'd probably catch up. Coz it took me a good bunch of months to finish Forbidden West and Dying Light 2 coz i be playing at turtle pace 😭😭😭

[@sacoto98]

I don't think gaming is actually that bad and most of the bad things today come from the gamers themselves. I see people complaining about cod (for example) but those people keep buying that same game every single year when there is hundreds and hundreds of games so much more worth playing. The amount of choice (and I mean actual quality choice) is so much bigger than before. Gamers speak with their mouths when they should be speaking with their wallets

[@TheOnlyTaps]

[@PSPortalShitpostingAntiSwitch]

Mostly fanboys in their parents house who can't afford a job to buy all systems like a true gamer.

[@L33ch97]

The last time I was fully invested in a game was God of War 2018. The last time I was invested in an E3 was 2016 (not just the Sony conference). That being said I still tune into those events hoping and praying for something good. I used to pre order a lot around 2015/16 only to play for a month total then dump it. The realm of video game production, marketing has certainly changed. I agree with all your points here.I only purchase maybe two games a year now and that makes me sad. I’m not sure if there’s any stopping the framework for development or events now. Sometimes I get excited then the reviews come out. The only game I was planning on getting was the new GOW because I have faith in the studio that they will not screw it up. There is almost no guarantee of quality or stability on this industry.

[@mrwishes424]

thats honestly a very valid take! the abundance of options we have today in gaming at our fingertips could be one of the main reasons we complain about every small detail. i will tag on cash hungry companies too bc that is also a major reason like you mentioned. these both can tie into each other as well by companies releasing the SAME game over and over just with a different number attached to the title. very well made and thought out video Jeremy.

[@sepikprime401]

The fact that among Us and Fall Guys gives a better multi-player experience than most Triple AAA games shows you that we are in a bad spot for gaming.

[@SoraFan23]

Thats the problem. Those games are what people are playing these days. Before it was Fortnite and Apex Legneds and now its Among Us and Fall Guys. Why do people love these games so much? Because its fun to play with friends and the multiplayer is fun. Which is something that is lacking in today's games. Even COD is not getting enough attention as it used to be because the gameplay is all the same as it was before.

@@SoraFan23 yet CoD still sells the most because of the casuals love mainstream. Same with Pokémon, Final Fantasy, GTA.

[@luked10110]

A lot of franchises have moved to mobile too especially in Japan. And yeah the big AAA games take longer to make and cost more now like you said. On PS2 a lot of franchises had 2 or 3 games on it and felt more complete and since then maybe 1 per generation that feels less complete. The dev cycles are longer and more expensive. And DLC like you said. And we're older and harder to please than when we were in middle school. There are a lot of factors.

[@bestlaptop_psn]

I'm playing through the Mass Effect Legendary Edition and my God I missed out. I never played the games when they came out but hearing the music gave me a nostalgia feeling. I guess I watched family/friends play it idk. However, yes we are in a worse state of gaming then say 2 generations ago. Also there will never be another video game crash. Never.

Modern Warfare 2 is around the corner, and Im hella excited because I loved Modern Warfare 2019, it’s honestly my favorite COD from the ps4 and xbox one era next to Black Ops 3 lol. Then we got the Hoggwart’s Legacy coming out next year, Warzone 2 next month. The new Destiny DLC in February. And currently what I’m REALLY waiting on is the Wolverine game, Spiderman 2, and Jedi Survivor. All in all lately I’ve been having a lot of fun with games. I really enjoyed the Modern Warfare 2 Beta too

One positive change that many don't appreciate these days is licensed games. It wasn't all that long ago that if a licensed game was announced, it wasn't a matter of how good it was going to be, it was more 'How are they going to screw this one up?' Nowadays, we get good licensed games from licenses like, Alien, South Park, Starship Troopers, Dune, LOTR/Middle-Earth, LEGO, Battlestar Galactica, Warhammer Fantasy/Warhammer40K, The Terminator, ect. If any of these franchises were announcing a game 10 years ago, it was almost guaranteed to be abominable. Not anymore.

[@sportsngamingtv2246]

As a guy that literally grew up in the video era (yea a 80's baby!) I see both sides as well. The industry is the top entertainment industry in the world so, the suits are definitely encouraging and pushing developers to focus on the dollars. Which I feel can kill the passion and effort in the product. Take Cyber punk 2077 for example trash release!!!! On the flip side gamers are a lil soiled too there are a lot of quality and quantity in the industry. Indies like kena and sifu hit hard this year! I have a few games in my back log now to be honest. I cant game as much as I once could but gaming is definitely better than it was than when I was a kid and young teen. Thinking about it I think when I was a kid it just hit different and the memories are pretty amazing and as a adult its not the same feeling... Midnight releases at the stores, chilling with friends gaming all afternoon, Strategy guides, Actual manuals in the game cases, etc. etc.

[@StoryOfJames.]

Live updates. I feel like that’s what began the shift. The ability to release an unfinished game and ‘update’ at a later date.

[@christianplaskett302]

Thank you for finally addressing the elephant in the room, you're totally right about the desensitization with sooo many titles to choose from out there. I'm not a big fan of the microtransaction approach either because I think it takes away from the immersion of the game. I'd rather pay more money up front and get lost in the world. Part of the reason I play games is to forget about money and life for a while; it's escapism. I also think that updates have hurt the industry a little because they rely too much on the customer to be their beta tester. I'd love to see a company be ballsy enough to release a game with a statement that "what you get is what you get" and do no updates but I admit that's probably no longer possible due to the complexity of games today.

[@smoothproducermidnite]

As a gamer that’s been gaming since the 80’s it definitely dropped. I’m playing ps2 games and older games. Idk it’s just idk maybe it’s the feeling or I’m getting old lol

[@BrokenToy]

I was saying back in 2015 how games back in 2010 had graphics that still held up well and we shouldn't be asking to rapidly push for massive graphical improvements as that forsakes gameplay and fun. Gamers now look for what looks good rather than what looks fun. Developers weren't ready to jump 10 spaces ahead of where they were currently at. Now midern gamers can't stop asking for further graphical improvements and still be depressed over companies needing to make their money back from that work in sketchy ways.

[@Calinks]

The last bit of this video really resonated with me Mr. Jerm. I personally don't think gaming is in a terrible place at all, I really like where we are at even if I don't think we have had a lot of amazing AAA games that have dropped lately. I am rally enjoying al lthe options of Indie and AA games that we are getting all the time and I think people are sleeping hard on the fact that we have SO MANY options out there these days. When I was a kid because of money and sheer production, I felt like there were maybe 5-10 really good games a year and I played maybe 3-5 of them. Now, I think some really good games come out nearly every month, they just aren't all AAA. I also have a pretty wide palette for single player games so that helps too but I think people should try and expand their taste a bit if they think gaming is trash right now. Lots of good stuff out there if you are willing to give some other genres and gemetyps a try. I'll just throw out some of my favorite games of the last 5 years or games that just came out that are fun that people may be sleeping on. Disco Elysium (CRPG) Kingdom Come Delivernce (WRPG) Wasteland 3 (CRPG) Cult of the Lamb (Roguelike) Grounded (Survival/crafting) Yaakuza Like a Dragon (JRPG) Lost Judgment (Action RPG) It Takes Two (Coop platformer) Psychnauts 2( Platformer) Mount and Blade Bannerlord (Action RPG coming to console soon already on PC) Sifu (Action Brawler) Midngiht Fight Express (Action Brawler somewhat like Sifu) Monster Train (Deckbuilder) There is lots more but some of these games are under the radar to a lot of people who only look for t he big name stuff and all of t these are really good if you are into those genres. Good games are out there, you just have to be willing to look for them and put the time in to give them a chance.

1:28 this man just can't help himself lmao. My main reason for not being as into gaming as I once was is because nearly all of my favorite franchises are now retired. Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Max Payne, Splinter Cell, Forbidden Siren etc all gone. Also lack if innovation. The last gaming innovation was Demon's Souls back in 2009. Stealh/Action and Survival Horror were my two primary genres and all I have to scratch that stealth itch is Hitman. Dishonored was the start of a nice new franchise but it sold poorly and now Arkane is making multiplayer games. Survival Horror looks to finally be making a combat, so there's that to look forward to.

[@MirelRC]

There are less and less AAA that are good. And at the same time many players have gotten harder to be pleased. Sometimes I am in that position too, having tons of good games, many didn't even tried, but still saying there is nothing to play. We are living in a toxic society, in a toxic gaming period.

[@SoraFan23]

[@SuperSaiyan3985]

While I’ve had to give up gaming for the past few months, I can say that the overall quality of games nowadays is better than ever. We have photorealistic graphics, smooth frame rates, and top notch acting. Now this is generally the case for Singleplayer games; Multiplayer games are a different story, which have suffered heavily at the hands of greedy publishers. Personally, I don’t play MP games, so I’m indifferent, but SP games have almost always delivered for me. I also have such a large backlog of older games that I really look forward to playing so I don’t always need some big AAA release to keep me satisfied. I could honestly go months if not a year just riding my backlog because there’s just that much to play. While a lot of the criticism towards gaming is warranted, a lot of is also BS from spoiled brats.

Man, my first time playing Overwatch and what a shitty experience it has been for me, I'm having fun with game but those crashes are triggering a different crazy in me

[@TheDustmeister88]

What if there was a way for a mass number of gamers to become developers sitting on a couch at home?

[@wilser2312]

That would be lit although we have unreal engine and unity but the tech is limited to what we could make perfectly to our hearts content

[@sweetchilliheat4559]

That’s why I stick to old games and I recommend keeping older consoles max Payne 3 God of war 3 God of war 4 Prototype 2 Spider-Man 2018 Infamous series Battlefield bad company and so on

Great video. Everything you said was on point. Gaming imo is better than ever. When it comes to Sony exclusives and indies.But Xbox’s approach with gamepass. Although seems awesome. It’s watering games down. I’ve had gamepass for 3 years now. I’ve only beaten maybe 5 games off of it. And 3 of them were yakuza games lol. I think Sony and Nintendo have the right approach though. Also sports games have gone way down hill. 70 bucks for a roster update every year is insane. 2k is cool this year cus of the Jordan challenge, but every time I get on 2k. They wanna sell me stuff. It feels so Grimey and makes me not even wanna touch it.

[@RainbowDash2237]

I personally think, I’m just growing up. I don’t even know if I’ll get a PS5 or any new console at this point.

[@gray-fox6789]

Remember when grand theft auto games came out for 3 seperate sequel for ps2. And now the same grand theft auto 5 came out for 3 console generations and no sequel? Yeah, that too....

[@gray-fox6789]

@@Eagles083 Exactly... Those good old days. Like it or not, internet nowadays for gaming kills everything. We need it, but some greedy devs abused terribly. Back then you got the whole package too without any extra cost. I miss those old days... 😓

Gamer2323 giving MysticRyan vibes 😂lol

[@mysticbeing6158]

I been thinking like this for years I thought I was the only one

[@Seoul_Soldier]

The AAA games industry is definitely on a downturn, but Indie market is straight up kicking ass. Games like Soulstice, Hades, TemTem, and dozens of others go to show that the best games out there aren't being made by the big studios (barring Santa Monica Studios obv) but are being made by Indie devs. If the AAA game industry implodes, we will always have Indies to play.

[@LordSiah]

In my opinion I think you hit the nail on the head we just have so many factors to consider on why gaming nowadays is kind of lame on some level it's the gamers fault and on some level it's the developers fault I think also it's a fault of the times we have so much at a click of a button but we never satisfied new and great things fade Out of existence quicker than ever I think now as a society we're in the state that we have so much but so little because of our values

[@davidd4696]

Sold my console in 2020 & haven't played games since then, which i miss. Why i will invest in a PC in the near future.

[@avg_gmr72]

Well said. Agree 100%

[@Kane.JimLahey.]

I think Vaas was right, many like myself have become insane, read the full quote and it just might hit you, but im getting to the point where im giving up. Movies, Books, music the outdoors. When I do game I often am spending more time on the 360 an ps2 than any of this new hardware/software. Been slowly drifting away for years, after my man glen's game comes out I may move on from the industry.Its become stagnant, fixed in place, perhaps it always was? Is the industry done for or have we just grown out of it? Hmm..

[@Asad_Thomas]

I honestly think that the future of gaming is Indie developers. I stand by that.

[@cynthiaandoh9575]

Well in terms of taking risks and trying new things, probably. But in terms of what actually sells and what is still the biggest hottest things out, nah

[@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo]

Sorry for keep bothering you about this, but when is the next nba thoughts video coming?

[@ShadowGamerAX]

It's definitely feels as though it's more expensive to get your hands on a console compared to back in the day nowadays you gotta be rich to get your hands on a ps5 I'll stick to ps4 till they lower the price

[@tylerblair318]

There's like 2 games I'm excited for until March of next year lol

[@TheDkmariolink]

A lot of these same arguments go hand in hand with television... Too many options, we are spoiled for choice, which in my opinion is not a good thing for the health of any entertainment media, because as you can see, it only leads to more unhappy and whiny people.

[@TheGamer2323]

yep. I think that's honestly the main issue. Not gaming itself. Of course yes, gaming does have it's pros & cons
