It's really an evolution of game-efficiency. Maximizing Profit and minimizing any cost factors / input into a game. When the gaming market in the 80/early 90 crashed it was similar to now - the difference being you can mask bad gameplay and poor game mechanics now with good graphics and a seemingly open and expansive world. Look at cyberpunk 2077 or No Man's sky at release (the latter has fortunatly improved massivly) Fifa, Madden etc. are just the same shit every year, making millions with not a lot of effort put into then.

The way you need to think of paradox dlc how it affects the gameplay vs what you expect in the standard game. Take hoi4 for example. It is labelled as a ww2 grand strategy game yet thinks like focus trees, strategic options and integral components like espionage are all locked behind paywalls. This is not additional content, this is core gameplay that has to be active for the game to reach it's label of being a ww2 grand strategy.

In eu4 "supporting independence" diplomacy button is locked behind paywall dlc called "common sense" (to mock you) or "el dorado" Anyways, basically core button if you want to play as vassal (in vassal rich game) Without it, you just hope and wait someone attacks your overlord and pray overlord loses and enemy releases you as a peace deal Prime example is holland and burgundy, even worse you can get inherited, and you can kiss your independence goodbye All due to single button which is a core When i found out supporting independence is behind a paywall I knew right away that paradox are scum That was 7 years ago, amd 2 years ago imperator rome came out which is imho bigger scam on release than warcraft reforged Ye they fixed it, but scam is a scam

Also, they can be pretty cringy, which is a major reason I stopped watching, but I definitely wouldn't call their content "low effort garbage".

GTA5 is still riding the hype for being an extremely long awaited title, being popular due to stuff happening decades before and their graphics innovation, Online's still a garbage pile, recent updates have made it better in the sense that you can enjoy more of the content, but it's still a grinding hellhole that really won't provide any enjoyment other than getting a new car, you're still doing the same missions, driving around the same map, using the same meta vehicle and gun, playing the same meta strat to get the most money.

[@berkkarsi]

In the past, developers had to actually make good games. Back then, you couldn't update your game like you could today to fix bugs and glitches. You had to go on the internet and download and install patches to fix your game, but they knew most people weren't going to do that. Developers actually had to care about making a good game. If your game wasn't good, you had to sit down and work on it until it was fully finished. Nowdays, no one cares. If it makes them money, but the game is not that good, they will still do it. If its broken, they can just fix it after launch. It is disgusting.

[@starhalv2427]

I haven't played base HoI4 for almost a year now. For the past 5 months, I only played "Old World Blues", "Equestria at War", "The New Order- Last Days of Europe", and "Unification Wars". Especially in the first two, there is so much content, so many things to do, that I just play hours upon hours and it never, EVER gets boring. It's great, it's glorious, it's magnificent. It's like another game. If a mod about Ponies is better than the base game, if the mod about Fallout is better than your game and the newest Fallout game combined, you probably messed up. Also, I love focus trees and financial system from "Millenium Dawn", but it causes my game to crash, so I don't play this very often. Combat system is still very good, but I always play with a mod that changes combat width, to make game more interesting. I think that's something beautifull about Paradox games. The community mods and the relative simplicity of making and launching them made Hoi4, CK2 (When it wasn't free), and Stellaris completely worth my money. Edit: I actually liked playing as India, Mexico, China and Czechoslovakia in base game (With DLC's obviously). The team behind DLC's is ok, there should just be more of them, and some new focus trees should be free (Like Soviet Union and Italy, whenever they get their focus trees).

[@tyvamakes5226]

Thanks for the mod recommend. For the past months, I only played Kaiserreich, Road to 56, Equestria at War (1984 edition) & Thousand Week Reich. If I want to play vanilla HOI4, I pick Rt56. If I want a bit more of EaW, I'll just add the human submod. Kaiserreich and TWR are alternate history mods that I play on a weekly basis at least.

Game developers are not and should not be starving artists. They have a talent, and society has determined that the application of their talent and time is worth money. Corporations exist to essentially advocate for the most efficient (read: laziest) developers and make sure that we are willing to give the most money for the least amount of effort. But at the end of the day, we determine which products are worth money and which ones are not. Our complete lack of self-control when it comes to pre-ordering, opening-day purchasing, lootboxes, cosmetics, and season passes is polluting the gaming world.

It might be controversial, but a really easy way to not give money to editors who make shit games, is simply to "try before buying".

[@PedroCosta-po5nu]

for me, one of the main problems is that some companies get monopolys over games (like EA) and dont have the incentive to make the game good.

[@Bleilock1]

Thats what ea did to stat wars games Luckyly their exclusive license on star wars is expiring this or next year And lucas arts are kinda pissed with ea, so they prolly will search for new publisher/dev to give license to

Tommy really fails to grasp what complacency means

[@martinhorvath4117]

i love how tommy tottally misthink what the guy says about complacency is, cause he is literally doing it with "but it's a very popular game!" Yes, Tommy it is, I play with it as well, to this day, but that doesn't mean it's innovative. It's the best online shooter out there? I'd say yes, but it's just that... an online shooter. Literally same gameplay since 20 years. From Valve, THE GAME company. IT'S SO BASIC THAT IT WAS CREATED BY A MODDER IN 1999, and got prettier skins. this is ther reason that game developers don't innovate, companies and gamers are both complacent with the standard games, cause there are more today, than in the early 2000s and with this, I'll also say that I love Valve, for what they did gaming(Steam, the best online platform for gaming) and think that they are the least responsible for why the gaming industry have been going downhilll since the early 2010s, we're just at a really low point now. literally 0 creativity left in mainstream game industry, just graphical improvements mostly)

Good thing almost all of the major game companies are embroiled in lawsuits hopefully they get heavy fines for this blatant greedy money grab.

The Last of Us Remastered was an alright project; the game was made for PS3 and it pushed it to the absolute limits whereas PS4 version (so remastered) actually looked great, and had more than 20fps. I played it on PS3 but if I bought PS4 then I'd immediately buy The Last of Us Remastered no matter how close to original release date it was. It would have been a different story if PS4 had backwards compatibility with PS3 but they are significantly different so they aren't.

I think Tommy said it himself but this game probably won't get better until DLCs

The same happening to the movie industry(and many more). Capitalists want their winnings and putting "their" people in position of power. No risk, no creativity, same pattern as the movies that brought before "risk free" money in, just change the surface bit but stick to the plan that worked before!

At like minute 37 I thought I was going to have a stroke reading his chat. lol

The annoying thing is that shitty assembly line games aren't making more money than the good ones, it's pretty clear what games sell when they make remasters they know this well. It's just a trade-off for more predictable income, they can better predict game life cycles than the almost random buying of a decent game over a decade. It's true that people will buy two bad new games for every one that is good but you have to remember there's others costs with that like marketing which tends to even out the returns. .

[@OrigionalCigarette]

If i ever get into game creation, expect me to use old engines and make old style games. Graphics don't equal to a good game

[@ChemySh]

I would've purchased RDR2 if it wasn't for the bullshit sales packages. Rockstar was smart enough to have 3 editions on launch: Basic (base game), Special (base game + eclusive weapons, outfits, and missions), and Deluxe (Special edition + multiplayer). So they know a sizeable amount of people like me doesnt care about MP and doesnt mind paying extra for more SP content. Yet if you look on steam, only Basic and Deluxe are available, so if I want that additional SP content, I have to buy the Deluxe edition that contains MP. Fuck that, I don't like being nickel-and-dimed no matter how good your game is.

[@jessicalindo7977]

The problem with FIFA is that they're played by the casuals, the normie dads who don't care about spending their money because they haven't always played games, just when it became more mainstream.

[@S489_20mg]

Don’t complain about the games you play and how shit they are, ask why they’re so shit, and then go” oh okay well if it makes them money then I guess it’s okay we keep getting shit games”. It’s so fucking self defeating as a consumer to think as a supplier who’s interests are to brainwash you to by shit for the price of gold.

They can’t use GoT without paying massive amounts of money to be able to use the name for them probably
