>>722890887

>>722890829 (OP)
Oh man City of Heroes takes me back

thankfully we can still play all those fun old games, and for free

my only solace that gaming has gone to shit is i can grow old getting through all those games i didnt play as a lad

>2001
Oh wow, look at all these consoomers buying the PS2, we'll never run out of new customers to buy our games, we can put so much money into producing them!
>2004
>Are they really only buying FIFA, Madden and DVDs?
The gaming industry crashed, but due to the nature of publishing it was rapidly consolidated under more bagholders, so we didn't notice it outside of the quality decline in the early 2000s, 2009 and 2012.

>trying to mount a mailbox on a post made of shit

The industry was pumping out fun games East and West while also supporting not just consoles but also Nintendo and then later also Sony handhelds.

There is some sort of crazy aversion to making low budget high quality games (E33) for reasons beyond comprehension.

>>722890829 (OP)
All of those are on PC. You went from needing to rent for a day to being able to play literally all of those on your fucking phone. You have never had so many games as you do right now.

>>722890829 (OP)
giga sovl and genuine games made by white people

There are literally thousands of games to play, you crybaby bitch. Just because you're too much of a faggot to start a game, and would rather sit in this thread and bitch, doesn't mean there's nothing to play.

If you do the math on a carefully selection of all the worthwhile games from each console generation that you wanna play, it would take years, depending on how much time a person has available to play each day, to experience and finish them all.
People who complain that new games are bad or have nothing to play need to find a new hobby or consider buying an old, offline physical media console.

>>722896354
Some games are woke though

>>722896354
i personally think a game needs to be replayed after a few years for it to fully digest. So ill never be done

>>722895884
games aren't sexy and cool and made for gamesr anymore. And anything woke or cinematic/photorealistic is disqualified too.
If you like modern games you are probably part of the problem

This, as long as it's written nothing like E33, which had dogshit writing

>>722896941
Did I say anything about modern games, you dumb bitch?

>>722890972
normies first, and then activists

>>722896941
You still have a mountain of old games to play, you stupid illiterate mongoloid nigger

>>722895792
>>722896983
Games like E33 are super-rare. It's proof that you can make a AAA-style game without having a Hollywood movie-style budget, and I'd like to see more games like it.

>>722897068
I already do that, cretin. For books and movies too.
Doens't mean I will ever be ok with being gatekept by subnormals and their unwanted content about present and future things

>>722897267
>and I'd like to see more games like it.
Definitely.
Like with other kinds of media, the real shit is in the good idea-modest resources-max execution tier

At least games were complete back then

>>722890829 (OP)
I still haven't run out.

>>722898164
They weren't, it was very "you get what you get" with cut content staying cut instead of being able to be added to the game later

>>722898529

Expansion packs were a thing at least.

>>722897010
why are you bald?

>>722896835
how self-indulgent are people to celebrate their birthdays past being a child

birthday parties are for literal kids
who gives a fuck past that, just buy a cake and celebrate with your friends

no need to make it some goddamn event like it doesn't happen every fucking year

>>722897827
Simple as.
In fairness I don't buy games much at all anymore. I didn't even get e33. I am an indie dev though, so I'm not entirely out of the picture.

Lately I just play old stuff.

in 2025 you can play old games and also new games like we just got Digimon Hades 2 Silksong what’s wrong with new games

>>722890829 (OP)
There are still new fun games to play, even if things have turned into the new Hollywood

>>722899390
Agree.
>>722899496
I buy stuff when it costs pennies, and avoid all big shit, all movieslop and photorealism slop...

I played E33 because it was on gamepass.

I wish remakes weren't prone to inevitable bastardization, bar very few exceptions

>>722899506
they are unfun ugly sanitized crap

>>722899676
scraps of scraps of the hobby

>>722899496
Same mostly though I want to get E33 eventually but it's on the backburner like some other releases this year are and stuff I'm waiting on discounts for.
We're never hitting 2004 levels but I also doubt we'll get something like this current holiday lineup again for a while. For once though it feels like the output of AA games is ramping up again but the games themselves and their appeals are subjective.
