Is there a name for this phenomenon

Dont trigger my ptsd about fear 3. That game sucked so much compared to the first 2 games.

You've already put on your rose tinted glasses, now you're trying to justify your delusions while you're getting pegged.

>>712625296 (OP)
in 20 years there'll be qthoomers making this exact statement about slop like doom the dark ages

>>712625435
unironically

new games are simply worse overall, and company board approved slop, even shit old games had edges and unique aspects, which make them stand out over current sludge

>>712625435
fact.

>>712625296 (OP)
>Is there a name for this phenomenon
Yeah, it's called being a dumbfucking subhuman zoomer.
>new stuff is bad
>therefore old crap becomes good
>amerimutt can't comprehend a fact of 2 things being equally shit
>posts fear3
Neck yourself

>>712625435
exactly

>>712625903
what if standards have fallen and modern games are simply much worse

The bubble for game sales ran from the 90s to 2012.
After that new bagholders bought up the dead market and instated a bunch of MBA managers and consultants, who proceeded to completely fail at everything but brown nosing. Games aren't immersive or fun, because they're not coherent.
Even though the period of 2006-2011 was generally a time of severe copium, where sequels would generally be more "mass market friendly", they still produced technically competent games with coherent elements.
So that's the word you're looking for OP: Incoherence.
>Why 2012?
I really just refuse to believe that the market didn't catastrophically fail between the trailers for Overstrike and Fuse.

>>712625435
...yes?

>>712626791
I always found it unsettling how no one seemed to notice the incoherence at all. It felt like games suddenly were being designed by committees of dementia patients, barely functioning schizophrenics and space aliens. I thought maybe I'd just lost my mind when I pointed out how absurd and nonsensical a lot of the design and story choices in Halo 2 were compared to the first one. I just got stares of abject incomprehension in response. No one saw anything wrong with the little shop of horrors gravemind muppet, the 70 degree FOV or the bullet magnetism being cranked to 13/10, or the fucked LODs.

this but its unironically literally true

It's not just incoherence, as a consequence games are also way less immersive. Back then the overall gameplay, levels design, style, UI, was designed to draw you into the game and feel plausible. Modern games basically SCREAM at you constantly that you are* just playing a game*.

>>712627796
Babby's first FPS is not a meme - to this day I still think Halo 2 is probably one of the worst FPS releases ever.

>>712628062
>Modern games basically SCREAM at you constantly that you are* just playing a game*.

That would be fine, if the game was actually fun/good. Imsims/STALKER/etc. don't really have a particularly immersive HUD or anything.

Soul is overused but a good word for it. Rather than just being a product meant to make money the safest way possible older games had passion you could feel. That passion is often called soul.

>>712625435
yes

>>712625435
correct

There were many times in history where the older people were right and things were actually getting worse.

>FEAR 3
>Lifeblood
Are you serious? The only way you can have fun with this game is by playing co-op and having Fettel suspend enemies in mid air while Pointman takes them down

>>712625296 (OP)
the fear sequels were fucking AWFUL

>>712629957
And still better than modernslop, it's an interesting phenomenon

>>712625296 (OP)
>anything released the last 10 years
Only if you play AAA slop exclusively.

>>712626791
>2012
ah, so the Mayans were actually prophesying the end of the gaming golden age.

>>712630084
No, they are not. even modern indiecrap shits all over your 7th gen slop

Stalker's HUD is iconic, shut the fuck up.

>>712631110
Ew, and i wishlisted this shite.

>>712631549
20 years is pretty old for a video game, let's be real. The only reason it wouldn't feel that way is because the vidya industry has stagnated to hell

>>712625296 (OP)
>modern videogames are now so bad that F3AR is considered a classic

>>712631549
I prefer them on the psx.

>>712631634
We basically never left this era. At least the people who are nostalgic for old PC adventure games, and mascot platformers have a point.
I played Space Marine 2 yesterday. It may as well just be a 360 game. Only it looks nicer.
