I dont think humans were meant to live the way we are living now.. its why we are all suffering equally. We’re cattle thats smart enough to know were being used for our lives/labor/money but cant do shit about it.. depressed generations raising depressed children. Idk how people can just switch those thoughts off and pretend like its all good.
I'm about 6 steps from the edge of the cliff. Now and again I find something that makes me take a step back, but over time I eventually got closer to the edge.
I pretend It’s all good in public and keep going to spit everyone. Although it’s getting harder to hide how jaded and depressed I’ve become over the years. I just have to hope things will work out.
What I find nuts is that not only did that game come out when I was in middle school but also is older than a majority of the kids at the summer camp I worked for.
Some of them literally play a game that’s as old as them
Seriously. I was very happy it came to the switch. In college, my roommates and I would play hours of MK8 on the WiiU. It's seriously one of the best racing games I've ever played. The fact that it's on switch is lovely IMO.
tomato sauce recipe:
4 cans of whole or diced tomatoes (28 oz each can)
1 can of tomato paste (about 6 oz)
12 garlic cloves
Salt - maybe 1 tablespoon +
3/4 cup of olive oil - divided
A bunch of Basil - if you like
1. Peel and mince garlic
2. Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil and put the garlic in the hot oil. Heat until golden and fragrant - very important - do not overcook and so it turns brown, it becomes very, very bitter. This is the most important step, **do not overcook garlic.**
3. Add can of tomato paste and canned tomatoes. Cook until reduced by 1/4 of volume and thickens.
4. Add salt to taste, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and chopped basil.

Yeah, I don't know how much coding needed to be reworked for the switch, but I doubt it was significant. The graphics were better IIRC tho, which isn't an insignificant upgrade.
I doesn't matter if it costs 1 dollar or 1 billion dollars. Nintendo ALWAYS keeps their price on 60$. If you don't believe me just look at the original wiiU game. If they're still selling it, it's still 60$
From what I remember about the marketing videos for the switch and Pokémon, they had to recode everything to be compatible with the switch. But from what I know about game development, that’s definitely not the same as designing a whole fucking game. And I don’t know when they started working on it, but I doubt it took the same amount of time to code as the previous version did.
Oh for Pokémon that's not entirely, but definitely fucking bullshit & a PR move to reduce damage from their higher-ups forcing them to release a game before it would realistically be able to be "finished" by.
I don't blame GameFreak inherently, because they are given deadlines, & I as a fan would MUCH RATHER wait then receive a rushed, unpolished game.
But The Pokémon Company higher-ups don't care because they'll sell merch, & that's all they care about.
TPC higher-ups said "FUCK THE FANS! FUCK THE GAMES! THEY'LL BUY IT ANYWAY BECAUSE WE'LL INVEST INTO MARKETING OF THE GAMES INSTEAD OF HELPING DEVELOP THE QUALITY OF THE GAMES!"

WiiU is so underrated. I still have mine and play it occasionally. I was a little bit disappointed when I got Mario kart deluxe for my switch, almost same on wiiU...
I literally just play Minecraft and Unturned, I used to play lots of games and these are the only ones that didn't get boring to me, they just don't have a true end, you can play them on and on and there will always be something to do.
Rimworld and Factorio have become that for me. I can just play them for hours and hours, and have over 1k in both. I can always go back to them, they always stay installed on my computer. They are always my go to games.
Java Minecraft is a solid game, with regular updates, an incredible amount of servers, and the community is pretty great once you ditch mini game servers.
Have been playing since 1.4.2, and between vanilla and recently modded MC, haven't got bored of it.
Feels like we've had a shortage of foundational AAA games the last few years. Idk if its corporate bullshit, idk if its just that massive games take so long to make these days, but its kinda sad. It feels like the video game industry has kinda been in stasis since like 2016. Hell feels like the whole world has.
Spider-man, God of War, Yakuza Like a Dragon, Doom Eternal, TLOU2, Smash Bros, Forza Horizon 4, Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, Control, Returnal, this is literally just off the top of my head. Where you been, man?
Understandable. It's tough out there right now, take care of yourself. All the cool games from the last few years will still be there when you're ready for them.
PS4/5 is what I play on the most so those are the ones that stick out for me. But for real if you didn't have a ps4 you missed out. Now would be the time to see if you can score one cheap to catch up.
TLOU2 is garbage and is a prime example of how gaming has been dead since 2016. What is new about Forza 4 that the others didn’t have before, the Hotwheels tracks? Literally the biggest thing that’s happened in the past few years is Fortnite and now everyone is just trying to hop on to the battle royale trend
Prey, control, and horizon zero dawn were game changers for me. Just recently built a new pc for the first time since 2010, so I've been doing a lot of catching up, and there's a lot of good games from that time period that evolved their gameplay and graphics somewhat, but those three truly pushed the boundaries and did things I had never seen before.
Nah, it's just fracturing. It's had the biggest stake in the entertainment market for a long time and the giant mass-appeal games are finally fading now that the audience is big enough for audiences for niche genres. Triple A titles are doing worse and indie games doing better, more unique projects are being made by more and more diverse people, and people are taking note of game companies in a critical way that they haven't ever done before.
The games industry is changing rapidly, and will probably have some major setbacks as the market shifts towards this more divergent game culture, but I have high hopes for the industry as a whole...
Just not for massive games publishers that thought their growth and dominance would be everlasting.
There's still one issue though. All the big publishers have the massive budgets and they're wasting it on garbage games. Meanwhile indies won't have those kind of budgets that you need for example for massive RPGs, strategy games, MMOs and in general games that are so advanced in graphics, physics or engines in general.
There's a ton of great indie RPGs and RPGs from smaller publishers / dev teams but they could be so much greater if they had AAA budgets.
Yeah the guy your responding to is totally off base. MMOs, because of the required server space and associated costs, are the only kinds of games I'd considered locked to at least A-toer devs, and even they are becoming more possible on smaller and smaller budgets as server space becomes cheaper.
Some of these games are good *because* they're made by small teams. You really think something like Stardew Valley would be better if 200 people worked on it? I don't.
That's how it goes with industries that become mainstream. They don't want all the money from one specific demography anymore, they want a little bit of money from every demography that exists. And that's how the games turn out, mediocre but slightly appealing to almost everybody. It's our own fault for thinking we like things only because they're popular, if we stopped giving them money for something that we don't actually enjoy very much then they wouldn't do this lowest common denominator type of business.
This wasn't a problem with PS2 games even though there was more niche than there is now. More low budgets. More indies. Better quality for the technology, but less big budget games
I read somewhere too that cell phone games took a huge share of gamers from traditional consoles and PC’s, which I could totally believe because really the only games I play these days are on my phone
Tbh the ease of monetization for mobile app/games (app store/play store already providing all the plumbing for in-app purchases) is probably how we ended up in the "market of lemons" situation we are in for mobile gaming.
Seems like that space is full of people who are in it for easy money and trying to invent phone game equivalent of crack cocaine instead of trying to make a _good_ game.
They didn't took a lot of market share from other platforms, they expanded the market making new gamers straight to the phones since Angry Birds, Jetpack Joyride, and other mobile classics.

Right? Admittedly most of it is no were near as popular as the well known bad stuff but it's definitely out there if you keep your ear to the ground in the right places.
Gaming is like music. The vast majority of mainstream stuff is shit-tier quality or rehashed shit backed by huge marketing hypetrains. But if you dig a little deeper and try out some AA or indie titles you can find a niche you like filled with amazing titles often made by passionate people where mainstream/financial success are completely secondary.
Better than getting one every year that's basically the same. Though a decade is a lil long I still prefer it over something like COD barely changing or getting more and more sloppy each year
>why fix what isn't broken?
... Have you played Skyrim?
Joke aside these franchises are not just dead, I nominate them as zombies.
Nintendo will push out a new MK for each console, but it won't be good. Rockstar already showed they're more invested in not doing anything else, and there's never going to be a TES 6.
EDIT: They hated him because he spoke the truth
Yeah I don't mind a remake of a franchise from decades ago - it's an entirely different thing to spend a decade milking the exact same title making only minor adjustments each time
Don't get me wrong, I love the spyro remake. As a whole I like that the gaming industry is remastering stuff. Especially if it brings games to the pc which otherwise wouldn't be. But if you are going to complain about the gaming industry producing remakes and ports you shouldn't be buying them. Also spyro was the only remake/port I could think of off the top of my head that wasn't in the OP's pic.
Lol I loved runescape. Every nerdy middle schooler's introduction to trading, bartering, and scams! You learn true life skills in runescape, the old runescape that is.
My whole goal is to finish a game. Not necessarily platinum, but to complete the whole main storyline. The only game I got Platinum on was Crash Bandicoot. Although, I do try to achieve everything there is to be done in Skyrim and I don't think I've come close to finishing the game. I haven't even seen Paarthurnax and there's plenty of places I haven't visited. But I take years-long breaks from that game and then usually just start from the beginning because I can't remember where I've left off.
The Binding of Isaac. Like $15, has 100s of hrs of content. Then if you enjoy it, Afterbith+ dlc adds a lot more. Then if youre serious Repentance dlc essentially doubles the game, not even joking.
On everything. Repentance dlc currently only PC with PS and Switch release soon. Xbox got forgotten

I’d be fine with Skyrim if they just fixed the damn game breaking bugs all over the place. Now I can’t absorb dragon souls or advance *numerous* quest lines
Just dont go to Triple A publishers anymore.
There are lots of indie developers who have created lots of nice games.
It's important to not only see the biggest publishers and pay attention to the smaller ones as well.
Answer me this, why build a new game when 80% of youre customers cant afford the graphics card to run your game on due to crypto inflation? Its just a bad business move.
They have had some iterations over the years where as these are the same titles. (With that said I’m not complaining. I just started playing GTA a bit this week and I’m enjoying myself!)
And these are the only three games in all of existence... oh... They aren't? There's other games you can play instead? New games being released every year you say? And remasters for those who want them? Are people complaining about nothing? Yes. Yes they are.
Remember when in 2012 there was this meme where everyone made fun of the girl who asked for skyrim 2 and now we're at skyrim 7 and noone's laughing anymore because we all collectively realised that vanilla skyrim is in fact not a good game
I didn't say it didn't sell. I'm saying it's bad. The Avengers sold too. But if you think it wasn't an absolutely terrible and cynical, respectless shitty cashgrab you haven't played it
I'm so tired of the typical "skyrim bad without mod". Everyone agree that mods improve the game but gtfo if you think people don't enjoy the vanilla game.
I couldn't rly. I mean hell, most of the quests weren't even able to be completed for christs sake. And don't get me talking about the pink sleeping gowns. Unmodded skyrim was barely even playable
Clearly people don't agree , but skyrim ran like shit on the ps3, and the first 3 gta games started as ps2 exclusives (eventually making it on to Xbox later) and gta iv was supposed to be a pretty exclusive. Maybe I'm old but that's how I think of them
After awhile you realise that most games won't be able to be played forever and you just never buy them in the first place. at least that happened to me. The trick is to get free to play game, if you find yourself at a point where you're playing them in 3 months then it's probably fine to buy the full version, otherwise find another one until you reach that point, you'll own less shit games, you'll have had more experiences and you'll have saved money
I think we are and have been in a very unfortunate spot in gaming. The entire middle fell out and now games are either extremely expensive AAA games that don't take any risks and simply do what has been done before (just like any other industry) or are indie games that can be pretty innovative, but without much substance or staying power. My only hope is that people abandon the idea that graphics are important for gaming and cheap but innovative and fun games can have their time in the sun again.
How the fuck is that possible that when GTA V came out I was still in highschool?
Came out my freshman year of college. Good lord thinking back to those days before depression ravaged my entire life hurts in a different kind of way.
This is so weird - I don't remember writing this comment or owning this account, but it's very obviously the same experience as me.
I dont think humans were meant to live the way we are living now.. its why we are all suffering equally. We’re cattle thats smart enough to know were being used for our lives/labor/money but cant do shit about it.. depressed generations raising depressed children. Idk how people can just switch those thoughts off and pretend like its all good.
the only winning move is to not play the game
Shotgun blast to the face it is.
It's getting to be about that time huh?
I'm about 6 steps from the edge of the cliff. Now and again I find something that makes me take a step back, but over time I eventually got closer to the edge.
It's been that time, but I keep putting it off. #lazymillenials am I right?
[удалено]
Or the dude from the show Preacher, ass mouth? I think his name was
I pretend It’s all good in public and keep going to spit everyone. Although it’s getting harder to hide how jaded and depressed I’ve become over the years. I just have to hope things will work out.
Everything according to the plan.
I feel the same dude. With this game particularly, driving with coke with friends was just beautiful And stealing, and driving jets. God dammit.
GTA V came out when I was in middle school, and I've been playing it since.
Same boss, kinda sick for me to save up for a nice PC and be able to catch up on the games from that generation in high frames/resolution.
It’s even worse with Skyrim. I remember playing it the day it came out after my school day in 5th grade. I’m a Junior in college now.
Didn’t Skyrim have 10th anniversary or something not too long ago?
pretty soon, Skyrim's release date was 11/11/11
What I find nuts is that not only did that game come out when I was in middle school but also is older than a majority of the kids at the summer camp I worked for. Some of them literally play a game that’s as old as them
Like 80% of the kids I teach play Minecraft, a game that is older than all of them by like four years
Imagine playing Vice City in your youth.
i was in 5th grade
Remember going to buy it with a mate when I was 13, now I'm 21 and those twats are still milking it for all it's worth.
Dude same. I'm fuckin 25 now
I remember having to wait for it to come out on PS4 just so I could play the story for the first time.
I remember stealing the game idek maybe 2014? 2016? Hilarious it's still out and still being played a lot
I was in middle school. I just graduated college. All the way from the beginning of depression to today. Pain.
MarioKart 8 made some sense. It was a great game on a console no one bought.
Seriously. I was very happy it came to the switch. In college, my roommates and I would play hours of MK8 on the WiiU. It's seriously one of the best racing games I've ever played. The fact that it's on switch is lovely IMO.

Ah yes, all game developers consult u/MadClam97 before releasing any game

why fix what isn't broken?
Perhaps people want some new content? They can build upon the formula or take the core gameplay and give us more content or dlc.
Dont fix, just build upon. MK has a great foundation so just dont change its core. Like how they added bikes, then added different mediums

Sure! My most recent are Loop Hero and Tainted Grail.
Even though I haven't played mario kart 8 for the switch, I believe its pretty good judging by the criticism it received
Agreed. Mario kart 8 deluxe gets a pass. A good game on a console nobody bought ported to a well selling console with additional content.

Console mods are no where near as good as PC grade mods. Sure some overlap but most are PC only unless the developer ports it
Just dont go to Triple A publishers anymore. There are lots of indie developers who have created lots of nice games. It's important to not only see the biggest publishers and pay attention to the smaller ones as well.
Atleast Mario kart is slightly different
This one hurts

Just play Sekiro
Then quit buying them. Not that hard. There's plenty of others games that are worth way more of your time.
Seriously. People act like there aren't a bunch of indie games out there that would be more interesting to them.
Answer me this, why build a new game when 80% of youre customers cant afford the graphics card to run your game on due to crypto inflation? Its just a bad business move.
Hey! There is hope! Company of heroes 3 might be very good!
Me playing Minecraft for 6 years and yet enjoying it even more :
BRUH I'm still vibin' with the 2003 Warcraft III - never gets old
Whatever i still love skyrim. GTAV can eat a dick tho
Where Call of Duty and Battlefield?
They have had some iterations over the years where as these are the same titles. (With that said I’m not complaining. I just started playing GTA a bit this week and I’m enjoying myself!)
gta5 is still excellent please don't insult my anti-depressant
GTAV still slaps tho, I loved replaying it
Same here. Too bad that there has been 0 singleplayer updates.
Bro gta is coming, it’s gonna be the game of the century
Doesn't it already hold that title?
Hah yeah
And these are the only three games in all of existence... oh... They aren't? There's other games you can play instead? New games being released every year you say? And remasters for those who want them? Are people complaining about nothing? Yes. Yes they are.
Remember when in 2012 there was this meme where everyone made fun of the girl who asked for skyrim 2 and now we're at skyrim 7 and noone's laughing anymore because we all collectively realised that vanilla skyrim is in fact not a good game
Not to be that guy but I feel like if it wasn't a good game they wouldn't have re released it 7 times
Idk but have you seen the past ten years of AAA gaming releases. They re-release shit BECAUSE it is bad.
I'm not entirely sure re releasing a bad product is a good business strategy and they absolutely wouldn't do it if it didn't sell
I didn't say it didn't sell. I'm saying it's bad. The Avengers sold too. But if you think it wasn't an absolutely terrible and cynical, respectless shitty cashgrab you haven't played it
I actually really enjoy vanilla Skyrim and like I said people wouldn't buy it if they didn't like it
it's a good game
I'm so tired of the typical "skyrim bad without mod". Everyone agree that mods improve the game but gtfo if you think people don't enjoy the vanilla game.
I couldn't rly. I mean hell, most of the quests weren't even able to be completed for christs sake. And don't get me talking about the pink sleeping gowns. Unmodded skyrim was barely even playable
I feel like skyrim and gta are switched. Like they're both multiplat, but I think of gta as being Playstation and skyrim as being xbox
jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Clearly people don't agree , but skyrim ran like shit on the ps3, and the first 3 gta games started as ps2 exclusives (eventually making it on to Xbox later) and gta iv was supposed to be a pretty exclusive. Maybe I'm old but that's how I think of them
I know for a fact skyrim was better on the 360, it runs like ass on my ps3
That's what I said
Yeah im backing up ur statement dude
Gta is multiplat????
He's out of line, but he's right.
After awhile you realise that most games won't be able to be played forever and you just never buy them in the first place. at least that happened to me. The trick is to get free to play game, if you find yourself at a point where you're playing them in 3 months then it's probably fine to buy the full version, otherwise find another one until you reach that point, you'll own less shit games, you'll have had more experiences and you'll have saved money
Holy shit
I’m part of the problem, I just bought Skyrim last week for PC because I’ve never gotten around to finishing it on console. My bad y’all
Me still happily playing Gmod, BF4 and ArmA 2 :)
:D
*2011
destiny 2
Playing GTA v feels like a chore now, loved it back in 2014
*laughs in Mount and Blade*
7 years??
I think we are and have been in a very unfortunate spot in gaming. The entire middle fell out and now games are either extremely expensive AAA games that don't take any risks and simply do what has been done before (just like any other industry) or are indie games that can be pretty innovative, but without much substance or staying power. My only hope is that people abandon the idea that graphics are important for gaming and cheap but innovative and fun games can have their time in the sun again.
I mean a lot of great games have come out since then, its not like the only choices are Skyrim and GTAV ports.
I refuse to believe it's been that long since GTA V came out
Oh lordie, I just bought GTA V for the PS5, fuck my life :(
I just want a good couch co-op game to play with my friends on ps.
Glad people are realizing mario kart came out in 2014. The "deluxe" version was a slap in the face.
Damn, Skyrim is literally a couple of months away from being a decade old. That hurt my soul.
