How do you oldfags cope with modern gaming?
It's literally all the same shit and games are getting WORSE over time. BF6 is worse than even BC2 which is more than a decade old. Starfield is unplayable garbage. Ghost of tsushima, spiderman, red rdead redemption are just open world questmark collectors. there no challenge, no game underneath.

is it really a competency crisis? what the fuck am I supposed to do with my free time

Yes. Technology is regressing because of suicidal empathy

Anyway, I just play old games and replay games I already own. N64, PS2, OG Xbox, et cetera. It's crazy how much fun games used to be, and they're still there, waiting to be played. Also, Elden Ring, BG3, Cyberpunk. There are still great games being made, but they're few and far in between.

Some new stuff that comes out is kinda nice/ok. Like System Re-Shock (i love it) or BG3.

With age, you get picky about stuff too, so most of the games will get ignored.

I concur with that anon, giving you a list won't help because you're looking for an arguement instead of a solution. If you're an old head (like us) then you should know how to locate games and developers that appeal to your specific niche. They may not advertise well, they may have a player base of a couple hundred dudes, maybe less. But they do exist. If you can't figure this shit out then maybe you should sort out your life. Do something that you can figure out.

There's a million great older games that I haven't played. I have a CRT and retro consoles. Even in my meager physical collection there is tons of new experiences. Honestly getting into retro collecting has been super refreshing for me. Sure it can be expensive but new consoles are $500 and games are $80, so it's really not that bad. Most ps2 games are like 10-20 bucks still.

Most modern games are made for retards, that need a detailed tutorial for every little thing and can't think for themselves. They are so feminized they need quality of life features for every small thing. It will get so bad there will be AI-assistants that play the game for you probably.

The mythical charm of what made games so great is the adventure. Going into a place that you do not know, that does not care about you much and you must figure out how to overcome it. Simply said, look out for games, that have some difficulty.

i'm 35. gaming is better than it has been since about the early 2000s which is the last time it was actually good. yes, AAA is in the bin... which was self-inflicted and deserved and has provided space for AA, indie, etc. all to thrive.

i don't agree with the muh porn addiction muh fried dopamine receptors guy, i'm a massive gigacoomer and have been since like 2007 and i still enjoy shit just fine. what i do think is that people who only ever looked at the big releases coming out and hopped on those are having a discoverability crisis because that's not where the good shit is anymore. and i think that's very understandable; it IS difficult to find stuff. i found a pipeline that works for me, but if you aren't on 4chan and in gaming discords all the time and watching every direct/state of play/etc. you're probably going to have a tougher time of it.

i will say your standards go up as you get older. you have a wider spectrum of experience to draw from so you become more difficult to please. you also have less time and willpower to experiment. at least in my case i often tend to fall back on games i have thousands of hours in, i have to make a deliberate effort NOT to do this and that usually happens between jobs when i have more time.

I play the games I enjoy. Vermintide 2, Darktide, BF1, Doom, DRG, XCOM2, Starcraft 2, AC6, Hollow Knight, Darkest Dungeon, etc. I stay away from the worst slop possible, if your definition of "gaming" is buying all the latest AAA slop that's been advertised into your head then it's your own fault.

I also live a decent life, that helps. I have friends, I have a work out group, I go to work part time, I have money and good hardware, and my mental health is relatively decent. I promise you it's way easier to enjoy vidya if you do this instead of NEETing in your house all day every day trying to convince yourself to shower.

AAA has gotten worse because of bloated budgets and corporatization which was already getting in there during 7th gen but accelerated much further during COVID and is currently in the middle of collapsing, but what few AA devs that are still out there and a solid amount of indies absolutely pick up the slack. What you're lamenting is that the cutting edge doesn't feel worthwhile anymore.

There's been 30+ games in the 2020s I'd give an 8/10 or better and a good number more if you count 7/10s as worthwhile if you're already a fan of the genre/series (which you should). Here's some of my highlights:
>Streets of Rage 4
>Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
>Stranger of Paradise
>Shadow of the Ninja Reborn
>NG Ragebound
>Symphony of War
>Rollerdrome
>Ghosts n Goblins Resurection
>Metal Slug Tactics
>Magenta Horizon: Neverending Harvest
>Kirby & The Forgotten Land
>Astro Bot
>Bayonetta Origins
>Gravity Circuit
>Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
>Hi-Fi Rush
>UFO50
>Tetrachroma
>Evil West
>THPS 1+2 & 3+4
>NEO TWEWY
>Devil Blade Reboot
>Angel at Dusk
>Shadow Generations
>Final Vendetta
>Rogue Flight
>The Making of Karateka
>Slay The Princess
I could go on. I've got maybe 20 games I'm keeping my eye on that aren't out yet and a solid backlog of old and new games. In terms of current year I want to get around to Split Fiction and DK Bananza if I can while looking forward to Lumines Arise, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Absolum, Night Striker Gear, and a couple indies. I'll check on NG4, Sonic Racing Crossworlds, and Dispatch after launch to see how they come out.

46y old here.

Modern gaming is as boring and formulaeic as it gets. OP is right. What changed is better graphics (stagnates too since 2015) and a better GUI. The "game" is still the same as 30 years ago. W3, CP2077, Starfield,.. whatever its all the same: There is hardly a game behind it. Maybe the occasian button hammering. BUT NO GAME.

We thought we will get a more dynamic environment soon in games, exploring paths that the devs couldnt predict. NPCs in Wizardry 9 where already way more interactive and unpredictable than anything in the past decades.

Dev studios GAVE UP on the game. They don't develop real sandboxes. They think gamers want the same game since ever.

Here some games sorted from old to young that I enjoyed, with no claim of completeness:

- R-Type
- Turrican 1 & 2
- Roch'n'Roll
- The Chaos Engine
- Starfox
- Battle Isle 1
- Ultima 7
- Ultima Underworld 1 and 2
- Wing Commander
- Baldurs Gate 2
- Vagrant Story
- Gothic 1 and 2
- Morrowind
- Shadow of the Colossus
- Dark Souls 1
- Ori and the blind Forest
- Eldenring

No more new ideas for games. My uncle worked heavily in generally known to be good Blizzard and Bethesda games and it appears to be reaching a pinnacle, because nobody has any ideas for new mechanics or content. It means they already came out or you want a tribute game to master the build of the game, which they already do. Example, Custom Robo was new. Gundam Breaker 4 appears like a remake to me after a million other ones in between, as an alternate play style. Ghost Of Tsushima is similar, but as a very deep alternate in how you fight as more close-range oriented, less flying around and with more options in that aspect. Another similar being Bloodborne or Elden Ring PVP, as another alternate based more on fighting like a knight. Then Monster Hunter being another alternate as make the enemy large or unique, feeling kind of like something new or like a mix to me. Halo like the middle of Battlefield and Call Of Duty to me... Brawlout like Smash or Brawlhalla. Occasionally something like splatoon/foamstars, Bomberman pacman comes out... Shit they even remade pacman with championship edition 2. Then it's new levels. And then it becomes add Seth Rogan because people are not pleased. They remade Mario kart with team sonic racing, adding drafting. They remade chess on steam, don't know if it is any good though because chess was a done game. I want more multiplayer levels for cold war yes I suck arse I guess or a map creator. I can't complain about game modes because it had the only ones I can think of. They remade cod with advanced warfare and nobody liked it with the rocket boost jumps and strafes and lasers that nobody liked very much. Sleeping dogs was like a new Grand theft auto kind of and in a unique map. People want sequels and will kill them over it, but nobody has any new ideas. That's why I think the elder scrolls online is getting so much dlc. If people buy it, it gets dlc. Nobody plays cold war so probably no more dlc that nobody plays. im sor.

>is it really a competency crisis? what the fuck am I supposed to do with my free time
I don't think the problem is competence itself. It's a problem of inbred reference-points. Each generation of developers lack more context than the one before, both with established franchises they're working on but also how you make games, not just fun, but compelling.
Each generation has lost a bit of knowledge from before about why certain things were made as they were, and the tendency to solely listen to "feedback" causes publishers and developers to mislead themselves thinking they can remove unpopular aspects of a game even if that feature had a purpose. Best example is Dark Souls and their popularity, because they're the only games that really earned their reputation for a long time, despite several critics and designers constantly shouting "It's bad, it's made the wrong way, this isn't for everybody" etc. and wanting an "easy mode". Souls did indeed sidestep a lot of ideas we've given outselves about how things "should" be made today, but it's exactly good because it ignored that and stuck to its own principles.
When there are no difficulty modes, it means everything was tuned to how the devs decided it, and it puts the entire community of players through the same experience together, which gives people something in common to talk about. Not having GDC-standard map screens or design patterns means a lot of new developers don't have any knowledge about how the game was done, but the devs who made it do. it's their design.

A big problem is definitely the oversharing of things like GDC (Game Developer's Conference) a huge libtard event where Japanese and European devs come to America to share how they implemented features. It's necessary now that games are so fucking expensive, but it's also exactly why almost all games seemingly share the same 5 features like "Ubisoft Map", "Dark Souls Combat", "Conversation Options" etc. because someone watched a powerpoint.

SoR4 & Ragebound are definitely not the best in their series but are great games 100%. Shadow of the Ninja Reborn and the other Tengo Project remakes are the only modern remakes I'd consider uniformly better than their originals due to being put together by the same core team with decades of additional experience under their belts.

Piracy and mods. So many gamecube/n64 games are getting modded updates by fans like Smash Remix and Mario 64 mods. Kirby Air Ride and gamecube Animal Crossing have some mods in development right now by fans, and with fans you don't have to worry about some microtransaction loop or grinding bullshit that is only there so you can pay to skip it. Players building for players. This is the philosophy that people spout when praising indie games, and by and large that's pretty true for many of the golden ones.

I don't like that the witch and wizard cards have 4 different sets that can spawn per game making it a Pokemon-like thing, but at least when you beat the game and go New Game + you can choose another set and colllect that 1/4th that playthrough. It just means you have to beat the game 4 times to collect all the cards. But my god was both the OST and graphics of that game pure soul.

The only game that is unique, actually challenging and worth playing out of all of em is Ninesols. Putting stellar Blade in there at all has got to be a bad joke too. That pile of shit has actual massive input delay by design and a terrible story/dialogue to boot.

Roam 3rd party pirate sites for some indie games that look interesting. Most mainstream stuff sadly is absolutely terrible and will just annoy you, if u expect anything more than ok looking braindead games with no difficulty. Just like with any entertainment marketing/nostalgia will trump all usually if its inoffensive.

Normally not a puzzle guy myself but I love Tetsuya Mizuguchi's work so Lumines and Tetris got to me and I found Tetrachroma from there. I've played a bit of Puzzle Fighter too because I'm also big on peak Capcom, had a friend who could beat peoples' ass with Dan in college. I think there's a clone from a few years ago called Crystal something or other but it was from Nicalis so I don't know if it's worthwhile.

It's a great consolation price coming from the disappointing DD2. Only downside imo is that most dungeons are the usual MMO fare of a few corridors with a few rooms, but there's still big dungeons with proper level design that are way better than any of the caves in DD2. Also the music is amazing, best version of end of the struggle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKf1mL_hgPk&ab_channel=TheFuzzy

There's a million old games that I haven't played yet so I'm just doing that or replaying them.
Shit sucks but it is what it is.
I had had faith in 2 modern games and my expectations have been betrayed on both occasions. If I am ever giving a modern game another chance I will absolutely not pay for it ever again.
