Nah we need to stop talking about companies trying to make money as they should and focus on the real problem: Blind consumerism, its the customers fault if they buy slop for top dollar, not the company.
@ without consumers there is no product to sell. Yes it’s the companies fault for making shit but “we” accept it and say thanks for serving me trash here’s my $70
*complains about microtransactions* *shows Battlefront II (2017)* *talks about going back to classics* *shows Hollow Knight (2017)* something tells me your problem isn’t modern games, but AAA games
One thing i'll say about Rocket League's Rocket Pass is, i only paid for it once early on and through it, you can earn enough credits to purchase it again the next season. Which is at least a bit better than have to shell out a specific amount of real money to buy battle pass' each season
clicked on this thinking it was a huge channel but i saw you only have 141 subscribers and considering how small the channel is, you seem very professional.
Any good single player indie games you like? I’m in this perpetual cycle of playing Deus Ex HR, Deus Ex MD, Observer: System Redux, Cyberpunk, Soma and Alien: Isolation. Then I start the cycle over again. I know it’s mostly sci-fi but I’m willing to try out another genre. I’m dying to try something new. I’m playing on an Xbox Series X, currently.
I can see you like sci fi story games so I suggest nier, fallout new Vegas, prey, subnautica. I know these are mainstream but this is the basic games I know are really good from personal experience 👍
How about Amnesia: Dark Descent? Not scifi but horror like Soma. For scifi genre: Stalker - Shadow of Chernobyl is excellent experience, it also has horror elements. Dead Space is also had nice scifi and horror themes. I'm not sure about availability to Xbox. I play with computer because availability of good games.
I’m at the point where I download completed games on console offline and just play them that way. Way too much wasted time downloading updates. New games wise I have to be really excited to purchase one and even then I’ll wait for a sale
When you refer to developers as passionless do you mean individual devs or development companies as a whole? In both cases their hands are usually forced by publishers and shareholders so I dont think it fair to blame them for the greed of others. It might be worth doing some research on how these decisions come round. Also a couple points about the examples you gave: 1. Resident Evil 2 remake, whilst an incredible game, does have additional DLC, and was updated to add content later (though it was for free). 2. NeiR Automata, also an incredible game, has DLC as well, with it being reviewed pretty poorly thanks to how bizarrely expensive it was for how little it added, which included new gameplay content. This is actually a pretty good example of greed imo. 3. Nintendo has done fantastic in revitalizing some of their IPs such as Zelda, however you can't call them a good example when they have Pokemon being released in the state they are. Sorry if i come across as poking holes but being a huge fan of these games I thought there were some things to address. Also if you havent already, definitely give the resi 4 remake a go
I’m talking passionless in general with big corporations who develop games. Individuals who make games and indie companies are a completely separate topic. Also good points on the games I covered. Don’t worry about poking holes, I knew I was going to get some stuff wrong given how in depth these subjects are but this vid was a general cover of each of these topics. By the way I also have played re4 and plan on reviewing it one day.
@@Vequo Would you have any passion in your work if everyone was buying any and all slop you put out? Lets say your channel blows up and you have 10 million subs who watch and like your videos no matter how bad they are would you put in effort?
So tired of this narrative dawg. Obviously there's a couple of AAA studios who kinda suck. But Nintendo is currently in its absolute prime in terms of quality, quantity and popularity. Quality wise all PS5 first party games are incredible. We get new up and coming studios make some of the greatest games of all time like every year. Elden Ring, BG3, Red Dead 2, etc. are all absolute masterpieces. The best games today are better than the best games of the past, it's just we get some more shit games from money-hungry studios. Obviously games like OoT, Mario 64, Halo 1, Crash Bandicoot, etc. are incredible games and some of them are better than some games today, but just like every single other piece of media there's some things in the past that haven't been surpassed, but that doesn't mean that the media of today is worst. Yes we get more bad mainstream games than ever before, and we also just get WAY more games than ever before in general, so while the number of bad games is larger, the number of incredible games is bigger. We also notice more flaws because of how easy it is to share an opinion on the internet and because of how optimized everything is today, so now we're spoiled with everything and when something is missing you really feel it. But if you dropped somebody from 1999 who just finished OoT for the first time in today's day and age and they understood how to play a modern game and you gave them TOTK. They would think it would be the greatest thing ever. TOTK gets criticized a lot and one of those criticisms is the performance. If TOTK released in the same state in 1998 it would've probably been one of the highest frame-rate games at the time as well as being by far the best looking game on the market. Nowadays we think it performs terribly, that the new stuff added feels kind of repetitive and shallow and that the game could've been so much better. Yet OoT is considered the greatest game of all time by many despite its biggest area having literally nothing to do but ride a horse, its graphics looking absolutely horrendous, the game performing like a slideshow on original hardware, the game being completely unoptimized and having frustrating camera controls. We just look at older games in a higher regard and look at them in context to justify their imperfections, but now when a game like TOTK makes a couple of mistakes you can make a video called "I hate TOTK" and get over a million views. I'm not saying that Ocarina of Time is a worse game than Tears of the Kingdom (because I don't even believe that), but even the best games today make mistakes and we don't justify their mistakes like we did in the past, now we just remove points from the official score. It is why I believe that we'll never get a game that gets that GOAT game status (for critics at least) because there's always one group of people that point out the flaws on the internet and everyone just runs with those instead of making their own opinon. In general, the best games today are incredible, but because of how widespread the internet is, we view them in a worse light than we did the games of the past. And the bad games take up a bunch of conversation despite most people not even playing them. There is just a problem of over-negativity nowadays especially on the internet. Everything is dying whether it's gaming, movies, music, etc. it's all falling off and sucks. The reality is nothing really has changed, it's just that negativity gets people to click and even when something is positive, people only focus on its bad parts.
ngl i'm mega disappointed with cod rn, so i went from playing cod everyday for hours to a completely different mindset. BG3 actually opened my eyes that there's other genres i might like, even though i consider myself a shooter player. (i wouldn't dare have touched a turnbased rpg before bg3) Now i won't get games until they've been out for a while and a general opinion has formed. Cod with it's yearly releases and recent fuck-ups in matchmaking and anti-cheat is not something i'm looking to pick back up. Plus i feel like the indie genre is blooming. I found 2 banger games this last weekend and can recommend them to anyone interested. Motor Town: Behind the Wheel (Driving sim) Mullet Mad Jack (doom-esque shooter)
Bought the game for 60$+(no DLC). Need to be online all the time even for singleplayer. The only way to experience the full game you need to play multiplayer. Try to play multiplayer but oops lock behind ps plus. Imagine buying a game for 30% of the content for 60-70$. Even pc games locked when offline with uplay and EA launcher.
Nah man. Great games come every damn month! Just not always from your same fav franchise or developers. It’s just certain generations growing up / getting older and falling for human nature of nostalgia and familiarity and not easily accepting of new things and change. And it’s OKAY. Focus on what you do like and less on what you don’t. EVERY aspect & realm of life shrinks with age unless you really go out of your way to keep trying new things and be willing to build new mental patterns to enjoy it! And that can be honestly exhausting! So replay your fav classics. Ignore what you don’t vibe with instead of consuming discourse as to why it is so. Try new things more blindly with zero social media input. And stop weighing how to get max value of ur time gaming / make content out of it / etc. You’ll start loving games a lot more when u play like a kid again. :) Ps. I’m a 90s kid. I miss old days of Halo. But I enjoy new stuff. Like I adore DRG. But I also missed out the Last of Us era and late Xbox one era. I didn’t have a ps2 growing up. Nintendo never existed in my country. So the remakes/remasters are great for me. There is an audience for most of it! You’re just not it and the feeling of being excluded from fun things made for u can suck but it’s really the source you’re looking to for it. Pps. Releasing broken games is inexcusable. That part u are 💯 right.
Once again I am not saying all new games are bad, and I love new games coming out every month, just greed and repetitive formulas have gotten worse over the years. I don't dislike new games, just the new normal is not okay and I am pointing out how the older gen of gaming did much better with it's creativity and fun. You make good points and I am just pointing out certain flaws, that does not mean I don't love games though. Also I miss the halo days too bro...
Steam deck plus emu deck. I can literally just games running just as good or even better than remasters. I largely just ignore what I don’t like. I suppose it would bother me more but I’m getting older. I’m a husband and a father. I don’t get a ton of gaming time. I don’t not mind going back and playing old shit. I get that might not work for everyone because some people aren’t into revisiting old games but for me I’m in gaming heaven.
Crazy because I'm in the same mind set, new games are boring and nothing exciting or original comes out anymore, thats why some of these modern games end up dying out so quick. I've gone back to Sega Saturn and making a collection on Retroarch because I never had a Saturn growing up, i'm loving it even if the graphics are bad now, to me I know these graphics were amazing back then so it doesn't matter, the gameplay is so much fun, just plug and play.
Don't buy microtransactions it battle passes if you dont want them. Games are patched later to not put as much pressure on the devs. Halo infinite is a good game. I rarely but games brand new. But when you expect to buy them day one. To have more issues then a game with multiple updates. Sure you could consider updates bad. But at the same time a game can be fixed if there are issues.
There are tons of quality games that come out constantly just quit playing the ones from the most popular franchises. Elden ring dlc, astrobot, silent hill 2, black myth wukong, balatro, animal well, tekken 8, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, Helldivers 2, Space Marine 2, and Indiana Jones all came out in 2024
I know many good games have been released, I made vids about half of those ones you mentioned being great. I'm just pointing out flaws that have become a common pattern in games today that I personally have noticed.
had me till you praised Nintendo like they are not notorious for suing every micro-developer that ports their ancient unsupported games to modern systems for free, plus not crediting valve because they don't release games ignoring the fact that valve has always been like this if there isn't a big tech advancement they don't bother they've always been like this since half life 1plus they made half-life Alyx that still is the best VR game ever and they also teased half-life 3 while Source 2 could be an amazing gaming engine, not to mention their efforts on SteamOS and Steamdeck that made Linux gaming a thing, the fact that they made a compatibility layer application to support windows games on Linux systems and they are all open source as well where is the greediness in that?
Chill man, all this hate and fanboying for Valve is toxic for you and for everyone. He's talking about games that are fun to play and not boring or cookie cutter. Nintendo as a company is one thing and their games are another. Valve did good and it's a shame that it wasn't brought up in the video. I find it difficult to talk about the Steam OS in this type of video, because the topic is pretty niche and it won't affect most people, but it will be a good alternative to use it in the future if Windows becomes even more bloated than it already is. The more I read my comment, the more it seems to be from an AI.
