Why Cant we Enjoy Games Anymore

I've been hopelessly trying to clear my backlog this year and now I'm wondering why it's so hard to enjoy games anymore.

man i really miss how much of an adventure it felt to go to gamestop with my dad as a kid. nowadays i know its probably 5-10 minutes away because i know exactly where it is, but as a kid, the world felt so massive and those nights that we would drive to gamestop and get a new game were the most exciting parts of life for me. i cant remember a time where i didnt read the manual and back of a case over and over on the way home, wishing i could just be playing it already. Very good video tho i definitely wanna see more from you

It was all an experience. I still remember reading the back of metroid prime on the car ride home and the feeling of popping that tiny disc into the top of my jet black gamecube. Still the best boot screen theme ever made!

@@Tenacityfromtheglass mann what an era that was. i still go to the same gamestop maybe once or twice a year and buy a game for my ps3 just to experience what it was like as a kid. thank you for bringing back the memories man i love your videos, dont stop grinding. much love ❤️

@@Tenacityfromtheglass also if you dont mind me asking, what editing software do you use?

[@Tenacityfromtheglass]

@kerch8367 I've been using a free software called capcut. I'm pretty new to video editing and I feel like this one was extremely easy to learn.

sometimes I have to go to the bathroom at work but I don't like using public restrooms, so if you think about it by the time I get home and I can go I have a "shatlog". I never feel guilty about it though, and I make sure to have fun.

90s-00s gaming had such a vast range of creativity. I love the amount of risk they took on odd concepts around This Y2K era- the Dreamcast/PS2/360. It should show us that GRAPHICS are not the most important thing.. If you can create satisfying movement, gameplay mechanics, physics effects, responsive parts of a environment that makes you want to explore it, engage it, etc. That stuff is so much more important. Not: {"Who can make the largest game map? Or have the most reflections?"} I think Art style, design, vibe, aesthetic is much more important. You don't need top notch graphics to greatly appreciate and enjoy playing a game. That's why we are seeing such a resurgence of players who have gone back to playing older games because they realized the aspects of gaming that they care about and are unhappy with most modern games. So hopefully gaming will enter a new era. That mixes in aspects of the older era's. With our modern capabilities that will hopefully help make it easier to create a satisfying game (without it taking 8 years to build a broken game. Hopefully) Currently everything is trying to be like a Triple AAA game or a free to play online battle Royale game.. A lot of us miss when we had game selection similar to how the Dreamcast/GameCube/360/PS2 era had a mix of. As well alot of those games came with options for local multiplayer, split screen, LAN parties, or offline modes against bots or other diverse offline CPU game modes. Yet modern games are not only lacking those dynamic options that give games nearly endless replayability features... Modern games are lacking even meeting the most basic standards for game's... They don't seemed focused on the core of the games to be Fun. They over focus on "realism" Rather than adding in Artistic adaptations for the greater good of gaming as a whole.. We could be doing so much better yet people are just coming out with the most bland game design, braindead AI, less care for physics effects... We could be doing so much better than this..

I feel that way about modern need for speed games. the whole break to drift feels wonky, the story feels written for MCU and making everything look wet and reflective doesn't pass for good art Direction. Give me games like underground 2 that had tons of variety and forced me to explore because there wasn't fast travel.

When you get home from School, you just kinda hang until you gotta go again. When you get home from work, you could be doing something to make your life better. I’m hoping if/when I’m a bit more settled, not some mid twenties broke ass, I’ll be able to enjoy them again. Instead of feeling like I should be making one the whole time I’m playing. I also tend to be really hard on myself. I’ll burn myself out and do nothing at all, no fun and no progress. Maybe it’s less about the external factors and more about my own mental, or maybe both. Relaxing is an important part of keeping yourself healthy and happy, yet I feel guilty doing that. As a kid that wasn’t an issue.

[@Tenacityfromtheglass]

I swear this feels like me. Back when we had no where to be and all day to get there. These days we work 40 hours a week just to keep from being hungry and cold, and the rest of our time spent trying to actually get somewhere in life.

I am enjoying games again since i bought a steamdeck. I just dont enjoy sitting at the desk to play games anymore. On the couch, count me in

[@Tenacityfromtheglass]

Same here. Plus, the steam deck just feels so good to hold.

[@zubareus]

Its just age. And also too many games now. And abundance leads to glut

[@cosmicsvids]

Honestly its because it isn't the same anymore there's a reason i still get fun out of Nintendo games. There the only ones still being creative and fun these days. Playstation and xbox are just loaded full of genres im burnt out and realistic games.

[@ZomboidMania]

Eh I enjoy games, the way I play is very different from most people, I treat the games I play as a playground to do whatever I want, I experimented a lot and make the absolute most out of every game I play, it's just a more fun way to play, for clarification I'll play a 30-40 hour game for 250 hours like I've just done with Sekiro

[@Tenacityfromtheglass]

I'm so bad at souls. That last boss in sekiro took me several hours. There was no one coming to help. no summoning other players. For the first time, I had to get good. Sekiro is a true masterpiece

What's the background song in the into?
