Your Thoughts on Modern Gaming?
Yeah, I know I sound like an old vet wannabe on this topic, but basically, what do you think about games today? Have they gone for the worse or are they just "evolving" into new genres or just reinterpreting old genres?

If you want my thoughts, well, to put it simply, video games these days don't interest me besides a few games. Seriously, DOOM 4 is the only game this year that I have any real interest for, everything else, meh. Most indie games don't interest me either, just a bunch of experiemtnal crap or overglorified YouTuber bait. Not to mention, simulators, if you can them that. That, or I'm just probably too stubborn to expand my taste, wait that's actually true, but meh.

Another thing, games aren't made to last these days, people still talk about Super Mario Bros. despite being 30 years old, most games these days, even AAA games, are forgotten in about a month or two. Seriously, I forgot the modern Call of Duty games even exist, yet I still remember fondly of the old ones. Why? Yearly sequels, game becomes a trend to people, not a gem or must-play for future generations to try out.

This is something that would pretty much kill Minecraft (A big example), practically no one views the game as something unique or a game that allows players to do whatever they want. Nope, instead, it's viewed as a trendy popular game and YouTube money game. Guess what, everyone I know forgot Minecraft existed for months now. Why? Because, Minecraft was unfortunately seen as just a trend, not a game meant to last. FNaF? Who cares about FNaF these days?

One last thing, when the ♥♥♥♥ is Jak 4?

I don't need to speak about hype, my though Battlefield 1 from just the Beta is enough.

Call me out on my ignorance or what not, but what are your thoughts? We can always discuss about it, well, if you want to anyways.

Neutral.

My laptop is way too shitty to play these modern games.

e: Of course, there's some new games (mostly from indie developers) that low machine could play, unfortunately, I haven't played most of them so I can't judge.

I love indie games and early access games, I don't care if they're built to last. I've found quite a few really good ones. I also love simulators, so I guess we're on completely opposite ends of the spectrum.

I got into minecraft early (beta 1.2), so I never really got into the trend as I had pretty much played it out by the time that happened. Tekkit is pretty fun still.

It probably helps that I don't watch youtube at all besides every once in a while when I can't find a text guide for something, I find everything on it related to games cancerous.

I'll be damned the day I consider all games good or bad based on how old they are.

I just run title to title, if something fails to be fun, it gets left behind. Today's gaming industry basically has a face in the form of giant AAA titles and online trends that largely just go by me, discarded as boring the second they come up, and a horrendously large backround of more original and fun games.

This year? Looks boring on the side of mainstream, save for Blizz turning shit up to eleven with OW, but has also brought Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, which is some of the most original RTS gameplay I've ever seen, will still bring WH40k:Deathwing, which should turn out a horde shooter capable of doing something new, has seem the aformentioned Doom 4 which just lived up to impossible expectations like it was nothing, had XCOM 2 blow up like it deserved, propelled forward a couple dozen indies well worth the time, saw VR become something a mortal can afford, THQ Nordic appearing out of the shadows with Darksiders and solid FIFTEEN more games in the pipe, Deus Ex surviving the fail that was marketing and still coming out a solid game, Tales from the Borderlands happening and somehow working... It actually has been quite the ride.
I find it fine. But I'm also pretty new to the scene, so take that as you will.

If you look past the CoD and Battlefield cash grabs it's pretty good. We've got some good stuff like Bannerlord and For Honor coming out (well, I can't say much about For Honor but I thought it looked interesting).

Gaming was great from about 1980 to 2005. Make gaming great again damnit!

The repetitive cash cows may be cancer, but only thanks to them the companies have enough money to take risks, such as:
For Honor
Mirror's Edge
And many more

I mean, it's good for my eyesight but it's not very fun.

It's alright but it's certainly isn't during its fine glory golden age.
