that was the best way of saying "im part of the problem" without saying it
Upvote this
@@rinshaolin94ew "upvote"
He's like the poster child for the problem honestly. Literally buys fkn everything on the game even the retarded ugly bullshit stuff to feed his content which feeds the companies into selling u more crap. It's like a cycle of shit
But it helps pay the bills...
brother we're all part of the problem. gamers spend more on free-to-play games than any other genre, by a lot. *YOU ARE BUYING THE BATTLE PASSES*
I feel that gaming isn't casual anymore. It's main focus back in the day was to play and have fun. Now-a-days its turned into a profession/ career about content creation and who can have the best clip or most kills, which made multiplayer games very competitive/ sweaty. If no one streamed/ or posted video's, and made no money playing, I guarantee the fun would come back because gaming would become casual again.
Yes
Back in the days there were sweats sure, but you didnt have to be some crazy movement tech fanatics to be on par with them and what not
this 100%
No offense but I think you're playing the wrong games. Single player games are usually the complete opposite unless its a complex rpg. Most games back in the day were way harder to keep customers playing, now they create dlc and microtransactions so I feel like multi-player games now appeal more to the casual fans cause thats where the $ is
Exactly
From a 32 year olds perspective that was really into gaming, and not as much anymore. I was told a few years ago, that life seems to go by faster the older you get. And the reason is you don't have as many "Firsts". Usually you remember the first time you do a certain thing. Drive a car, go to school, first girlfriend, ETC. You don't have as many firsts as you get older. The same could be said for gaming. When we were all younger experiencing all these new games for the first time, it was exciting, new, and fun. First time beating a game, first time getting together with your friends to play, first time playing a game online. We got older, its not as exciting anymore because we have experienced it all. Yea we still have good times in the moment, but not like our FIRST time. Our generation may feel that gaming isn't as fun anymore. But for the young kids out there, they may be having the time of their lives like we once did.
I 100% agree with this sentiment. I'm 38 and I've been gaming since I was 3. I find myself playing more and more single player less competitive games because I'm constantly getting angry with trying to compete with hyper sweaty players. Not to mention all the unfinished games coming out lately. Great video!
Im 40, feeling the same. Players now like to sit in corners with OP guns and its just not fun. Played COD since first MW and Apex since season one. Solo games are way better to unwind now, even watching smaller content creators playing survival games, like a mini series but about games. Its unlocked new games that I wouldn’t have played 10 years ago so in some ways its a blessing.
@@Hatchetman01 Good point!
38 I play games that's not competitive or with just casual players. I recently bought the Contra collection and the Cowabunga Ninja Turtles collection.
31 here. You’re also probably investing less time into gaming than some of these kiddos AND feeling some of the slower reaction times that come with aging. If you’re honest with yourself, what you’re really saying is “I used to be one of the best players and now I’m not”. That has nothing to do with the quality of the game but rather a change in personal experience. I do think games are more predatory and less fun, but I don’t think the competitive nature has changed much at all.
@@ZMACxxSBMM literally changed the nature of competitive gaming.
TIMMY THE TATMAN TAYLOR
Subscribed, very good video man.
@@MasterJangleLeg thanks MasterJangle! I appreciate you!
You really did Timmy and Doc dirty...
And I like that 🤣
Yeah I saw two days ago randomly the spiderman & gta vids and sub immediately. Super great edit, cool vibes & OG games. Nice
Shoulda talked about reaction content so Tim feels extra targeted
The problem is that social media and influencers don't play solo adventure games and have stuck to battle royals so the discourse has turned into "games are boring", when in reality they are not even scratching the surface of all the great games that have come out throughout the years
Lots of ‘smaller’ content creators making videos on other games. I watch stuff I cant even play as its only on PC but the games looks cool and the creators are fun and down to earth. Just have to loom up games your interested in and find someone new. Back on verdansk id only watch Tim and Nick, now I don’t watch COD videos at all.
I agree. Streamers are what is ruining gaming.
Exactly my thoughts when I was watching this.
There are amazing games that fly under the radar, because everyone is just trying to play what is the most talked about game that month. A literal "Keeping up with the Jones'" type of mentalllity.
Facts!! Thank you
I may be wrong bot aren't all the goty single player games lol ? Or atleast like 1 to 4 player games ?
I’ll never get back the feeling of turning on Black Ops 1 for the first time… grinding… or MW2 search and destroy lobbies with my best friends. Everybody mic’d up with a goal to get RUclips famous. It’s a type of nostalgia that is only relatable to how our parents talked about a time before internet. Truly a golden age, and moments forever missed. This is to all my Xbox friends from back then, who have whole family’s now. Cheers to those times 🍻
omg every single person is talking about cod. thats y its bad. cause yall wont just get off it or play the old ones. here, copy and paste - why dont ppl play other games then? go grab a fromsoftware game lol (im like their sponsor) u got gothic horror, mech future ones, Samuri ones and more (cough Elden Ring with dlc coming out in less than a month!!!!)...
Jak and Daxter, Cod Modern warfare 4 , and Kingdom Hearts were the pinnacle of gaming days.
i need a jak and daxter 4
Everyone just play something other than cod everyday you'll have fun 😂
The Finals fr fr
Facts!
@@TheCentipede_21broken trash. It still has a heal beam glitch that hasn’t been fixed in like 4 patches now
If CoD isn't fun, yet everyone is still playing it then doesn't that speak to how ass other games r? 🤣
@@WLH-ss2qw a polished turd is still a turd
I feel like gaming isn’t as fun because companies don’t want to risk trying much new stuff
Its not fun because you need to get good
Wat games u play??
I feel like that’s part of it, and also that big companies are wayyyyy too business minded. I get that you have to run a company, but not at the detriment to the product/art you’re trying to sell.
That’s why you see so many indie games absolutely popping off recently - they make fun games out of passion and not for the sole purpose of making money.
Gaming isn’t fun to people who constantly play with cheaters
@@SpaceRanger187 ok buddy, I bet you are just the best player
Started playing games when I was probably 8-9, and I’m 26 now. I’ve come to a point now where I don’t necessarily play game like COD or Fortnite for fun. I play them to interact with my friends. The game itself is just an outlet to spend time with my boys who all live in different parts of the country
The reason gaming isn't fun anymore is because developers see gamers as cash cows instead of consumers of an artform.
I will never forget back in the day hopping on black ops 2 or black ops 3 with all the boys and just playing all night without having to worry about finishing a battle pass or finding the money to buy the best operator skin. Those were the prime gaming days and I don't think we will ever see it again. Another one of those you don't know what you had until you lose it moments.
Fuck I miss the days I wouldnt get aimbot/wall hacked 😂 good ol halo 3-bo3 time era. Rip best years of pvp
I disliked this because I’m tired of hearing it, just don’t play the games that are like that. Plain and simple 🎉
@@NightEndDay87How? When every multiplayer game has a battle pass system now.
You acting like you have to buy that stuff haha
Bo2: Guardian spawn trap 😂😂😂 like if you know
Gaming is quite fun when you're not just playing COD and other multiplayer games the whole time. I'm currently playing The Witcher 3, and I've never enjoyed gaming as much as I do now.
its what i always say...thank god i play variety....must be tough for people that only play shooters
@@H3NRY121 yeah i could never play JUST shooters, the amount of cheaters is insane and after like 3-4 matches in some games i have to take a break and play some other games like minecraft or lethal or some backrooms game.
@@H3NRY121 I'd much rather watch a content creator play a multiplayer shooter before playing it myself. My brain usually starts rotting after the third match
The Witcher 3 is almost 10 years old. This is about new games
Deadas I’m going to legend of Zelda
This is why i play story mode games .. because it still has that spark like sony still makes really good story based video games none of that repetitive online multiplayer games
Super smash bros N64/gamecube, MLB 98 PS1, Goldeneye N64....so many hours played and no regrets. The tourneys, the competition amongst friends, the 2 liters downed, the chips crunched, the parents yelling at us to keep it down, oh the memories.
Ahhh man LAN parties, CS, Command and Conquer, Warcraft, Starcraft...what awesome memories.
These days i find retro games, plus indie titles still have that spark
Lan parties!!! Holy shiz, been forever since I heard that. Those were my halo 2 days.
Starcraft and Diablo2 are still very regular rotations with me and some close friends that have been playing for 25+ years.
Goldeneye sitting with friends was awesome. What a time. Streamers giving out meta load outs is a massive problem no one's finding guns they enjoy just the guns that are the most powerful. No individual game experience now.
This is the truth right here.
PERFECT DARK!
Everybody in the lobby using the same meta guns. It’s sucks to see so many different guns but mostly everyone is just using 1 gun.
The whole min/max and sweat factor in skill based matchmaking has almost ruined fps multiplayer games for me. I just don’t feel like sweating with what little free time I have anymore lol
@@BVaccaro88 it's not enjoyable, the games rigged, good games/bad games, winning gun fights and losing gun fights it's not an even playing field.
N64 split screen goldeneye, wcw vs nwo world tour and perfect dark was so fun. 19 inh screen we still had a blast or hours
It’s because gaming went from being about working together and making friends into who can have the best aim, put in the most time, and who has the fastest decision making. The skill gap on most games now days is insane and makes players without a lot of time to play a lot less likely to have fun/succeed at the game. Also player bases are way more rude and toxic than ever. Ultimately it’s a people problem
*spectating a video that highlights how stupid it is to buy rainbow guns /loot boxes*
Timmy: 'I wish I got that knife'
😂😂😂😂😂
Modern gaming is no better than having a gambling addiction at this point. 😂
I remember tips and tricks magazine and game informer , just sitting there reading while the parents shopped 😂
Good ole days
Its the nostalgia effect that adds to those older games and memories hit harder... such a surreal feeling to experience that we truly dont feel until its too late
I can’t play cod anymore bc I have to level up all the guns then watch a class setup video because if u don’t you are cooked
Don’t take long to level up guns and u find the metas use the same broken attachments on almost every gun so ya Man U really get used to it then every gun u touch is meta after u grind all the camos and shit 😂 it’s part of the game dog it’s fun man don’t be so sad about not being good it’s a hard game
@@billwoodward7013 gaming is for sure doomed if youre saying COD is good
@@smizzzy1240 cods ass imo everyone just plays it though
@@smizzzy1240imo it’s good and fun do I get tired of it sometimes yes and I take a break and comeback when I want to. It’s always good to take breaks and play other games.
in my opinion, getting good at the game to EARN a cool unlockable (challenges) was way more fun than players being able to just buy something that was essentially even more cool. which would just be replaced with something even more cool in the shop making your previous purchase useless. bring back hard to obtain cool unlockable items through challenges, ty
like look back at bo1 you had to grind to prestige 13 to even get the chance to buy gold and get animated calling cards and change the color of your clan tag, they make us pay for shit like that now
also think of how great games would be if they came out finished in stead of selling DLC through their life time, for example imagine the universe of Destiny so cool right hours of gameplay but there would be no destiny DLC if they didn’t chop up the full game and sell parts of the idea later on as DLC add ons , pathetic
but at the end of the day i do think growing up has something to do with the lack of interest however gaming has changed for the MONEY as well
This is it exactly what I’ve been going through with multiple games. I was born in 1990 I think Tim is around my age it was a relief hearing his input because I thought it was just me. Amazing video this guy put together it’s worth the watch if you’re just feeling games lately! Personally to me it’s not just the games that made the most impacts on me but more of the connection / bonding & human interaction while playing split screen / lan tournaments & getting friends to jam with after school. I truly believe as I’ve said in my most enjoyable fun times playing & streaming has been finding awesome people in lfg’s or in game chats you never know when you could meet your best friends like I have. In three weeks one I call a brother is driving around 600 miles to stay at the house to visit. To me that’s end game! Thanks Tim stay safe and be kind to one and another ❤
As far as in CS 1.6. There were places at malls that you went and played each other. Here in NY, we had a spot X-zone where you literally sat next to everyone you were playing with as well against.
Bro that Need for Speed where you tried to make the biggest wreck possible was borderline crack!
BURNOUT BABY WOOOOOOOO
Like in burn out? I didn't know N4S had that feature
I'm sure he is thinking of burnout. That game was lit for sure
@@grantisshananaa4906 Yeah Burnout! Thank you!
Burnout right ?
Tim, you need to do so, like solo games. Just get away from the loudness and anger of online games. So, I intentionally left solo games very open-ended. Anything goes or let fans decide in a vote whatever. Just something new, and hopefully, you will find excitement.
Streamers and social media made gaming so unnecessarily overcomplicated
I remember trying out and being part of a clan in cod to try and play some league play in bo2 or an mlg team the grind was crazy and so fun back then nostalgia hits mannn
Tim, the word you were looking for at the end of the video is nostalgia. You tend to look back on older things with fond memories.
I've been saying for years that modern social media is destroying games, social media tells people to hate certain games & people listen, RUclipsrs/steamers have evolved the competitive community which isn't bad but it also causes a lot of issues for the average player just wanting to play a couple games a day and all the posts showing off the newest skins to buy that waste your money and can be removed from game at any point
Not the only thing it's destroying 😮
These no life’s play these games all day everyday. There the ones who are ruining gaming. Streamers have always been the problem with gaming remember Fortnite before ninja and his no life friends took over twitch and ever 12 year old wanted to quit school to play like them because they got “rich” yet don’t act rich cus they still play games all day like broke stay at home sons.
I think gaming today is more tiring and draining. There are many times it just feels like work. With daily/weekly/monthly objectives tied to content, they're relying so heavily on that FOMO feeling to keep people trapped.
If you don't play, you can't complete the objectives. If you don't complete the objectives, you don't get the rewards. If you don't get the rewards, you can't get new content (without paying). If you don't get new content, you can't compete. If you can't compete, don't bother.
It's exhausting, and creates a system where you play the same game for hours a day for months on end. That's not a game. That's a job.
Depends on the game. I feel like games like Baldurs gate 3, Alan wake 2, god of war, and cyberpunk don’t feel like that at all and are really fun
“Hey I doubt it” just made me wake the whole family up while laughing lol
Split screening with my friends growing up was the best and you can't do that now
Yes gaming is still fun wtf💀. The people who are having fun just aren’t playing Call of Duty
This is why I went to vr and im so glad I did everything feels new again and fun and gets me up and moving not just sitting there. The games are amazing and it's just getting started! Doc and Tim need to try it out you won't go back guaranteed
Battlepass meta was started by the only game that did it right. Dota 2. It wasnt designed to hook in players. They used it to fund their professional scene. It was called compendium at 1st then battle pass.
People need to get out of their comfort zone from time to time discover new genres, it will help them enjoy their favorites games more and discover new games that they may fall in love with
Tim doesn't even know he's being played like a fiddle by COD
The problem for me is no game feels new anymore. Every game I play these days (bar a few indie games) all feel like they've copied each other and just changed it slightly. The joys of gaming 15 years ago, everything felt new and fresh, and exciting because of that.
Man I remember being at a YMCA summer camp and torwards the end the counselors let me bring my PS2 to hook it up to the screen in the activity room for the last week. Me and 10 of my good friends whom I’m still friends with today played Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 every day and never got bored for even a second. It’s definitely the people connection that was the fun part. Not necessarily the online connection, but the in person connection of someone else on your couch with you, or in your house “lan parties”. Good times man
I miss those OG day's that simple things make us happy
Best way to fix this would be to start from scratch and enter a new era of renaissance for gaming.
That will never happen. There’s already a model that works. Sell the game for around 70 and the real money comes in with battle passes, skins, gun camps etc
it's a symptom of multiple over stimulation and goal attainment saturation -it's reaching that invovlvement plateau that familiarity reaches a burnout condition ,the gaming doesnt engage and stimulate to previous levels of perception and involvement -just getting too intense too often too sustained has its caveats after skillset is reached.Were human it happens in any human activity that escalates intensity
I miss gaming in the 90s NGL. I used to love playing now when I have time I get bored so fast and switch between multiple games.
I haven’t been on COD in since early February and having a lot of fun playing other games. I just beat Ghost of Tsushima, and God of War Ragnarok. Now I’m playing Stellar Blade and online races on Gran Turismo
lol Stellar Blade
That Doc clip is SO good hahaha
The name... is... ... 93'94' blockbuster world champ champ champ
funniest core gaming memory was playing my friend in 2k15 dropping 70 pts with jared dudley
I agree whole heartedly with this video. And yes, same as the TatMan CS 1.5/1.6 was the begining of competitive shooters for me. That game was the Goat.
In my opinion, a big portion of why multiplayer games are not as fun. Is the introduction of sbmm, in literally everything now. Like think about how games have 2 modes (ranked) and (public matches) but pubs has sbmm. Essentially turning the "casual" part of the game into a ranked 2.0. If I wanted to try extremely hard and want to slam my nuts repeatedly on a table and get mad, I would just play ranked. And to cool down and actually enjoy doing things like troll people or try fun stuff for content or, to simply have fun.. You should have a no sbmm pub mode. Everything about multiplayer gaming has turned into a competitive warfare of bs.
I've never been so connected and so alone.
As a kid it was Lan parties, link cables, and social.
Today it's distant. There is no face to face.
That might be the truest thing I’ve heard about today’s world. Most are connected, yet alone. Well said.
I bought one of those kit things that slid over the screen that magnified it and also lit it up and had foldable speakers that came out to the side and I can remember playing tetris pokemon and supermario and man those memories make me feel like I havent had that much fun with games since then. Don't get me wrong I love a lot of games today but just not the same.
Love the Dayseeker shirt, just saw them this past Wednesday. Great show!!
I still haven't figured out how the Warzone battlepass works. Not even gonna bother buying it.
Trying to navigate the main menu is the most confusing thing I’ve ever done
Dude call of duty is confusing weirdly enough kinda like how humans are confused on gender roles 🤣 but less than 10 years ago we all collectively agreed it was just male and female !! The game is dogwater but we play it because honestly what other game is there to play that like cod ?
@@Trick.Ricky.Sternnthat was a weird comparison bro.
Easy way to put it 5 mini sectors per sector complete that sector move on to the other then earn more another sector that have 5 mini sectors. So essentially 5 points per sector.
Hell Divers is one of those games where you just jump in to have fun
too bad sony just became the villain and screwed people over.
They walked back that statement and won't require psn linking @@rockiecraft
@@rockiecraft
It got reversed, even with the damage done, people can play now at least.
I got so bored of that game after 20 hrs. I really don't enjoy it anymore
@joeblowe3180 Yeah I get your point but I meant like something that you can play for a change once in a while. You go in, kill monsters and get out. No need to compete against other players, no need to fight for the 1st place etc.
Bro, said Turtles in time and i had mad flashbacks. thank you for bringing back those memories.
Having 15 other friends over and having a LAN party with Halo and CS were the best times ever.
gaming is fun when you aren't playing COD or mainstream multiplayer games. We got multiple bangers last year that are AAA games. The people who say "gaming isnt fun" are usually casual gamers who only play COD or Fortnite.
I still have fun playing call of duty. I feel a lot of the problem is that people can't think for themselves and have to follow what others do and say. Bottom line is people are afraid to think for themselves.
@@Betterpigeon I have fun with COD as well, COD will always be fun. Its just everything behind that that ruins it, shitty microtransactions and greed, and out of touch decisions and lack of effort and innovation is what ruins it. Fortnite actually has innovated with making the game more community based and incorporating Unreal Engine 5 but the people who says gaming isnt fun or its dead are usually the ones that needs to open up their taste in games a little more
Gaming is fun when you aren’t playing 10+ hours everyday like this no life
Pokémon on Nintendo was my first ever 'game'.
91' baby here and I remember this, second generation Pokémon (Gold and Silver).
After this, upgraded to a PlayStation and got Ape Escape which I couldn't get enough of, then into the Ratchet and Clank series and I have memories of me sitting in my room, on the floor against my bed, TV on the floor, basking in the sun, and grinding the latter for hours on end!
Good times.. 😃
Ratchet and Clank was sooooo fun man
Ape Escape 1 on PS1 was insane
I remember as a kid. We used to play tecmo Super Bowl on Nintendo. my buddies and I would pick our favorite NFL teams and play a season. One of my favorite memories of gaming
Man I have memories of also playing turtles in time and the Manhattan project with. Y brother and our friends.
As a content creator myself I refused to buy battle passes. If I can’t earn it in game I don’t bother. I’ve been giving the AAA gaming companies the middle finger for years. I am glad everyone is waking up to start doing the same.
What i would say is this. 2023 was one of the best years in gaming, and ppl were still saying "gaming is dead." "Gaming is stale."
Some ppl think like that because they play NOTHING but fortnite, roblox, Cod, 2k, and Madden and never play nothing else.
Microtransactions are part of the reason gaming is as fun because the good stuff is hidden behind a battle pass or a pay wall they only give u half the game at full price.
Esports i think has some compulbility because everyone wants to be some sweaty pro player and try extra hard. There is no way to separate those type of ppl(one who play all day dont wash they AS or touch grass and still a virgin) and a person who comes home from 9 to 5 and just want to relax hope on a game for a few minutes. Plus they give this idea they the esports players make money and in reality they don't.
I think content creator to some degree has made gaming not AS fun. I say because kids(especially the dumb A**es of this generation) are easily influenced, and if they favorite content creator ONLY plays 1 particular game, what do u think the kid gonna do. I also think the content creators are so focused on their view count that they are afraid to try different stuff, but its not viral, or its not a game that "trending." They are so quick to pick a game that will get their views up instead of playing a game cause what THEY actually like. Thats why i content creators should have 2 sets of games; a set of games for streaming and content and a set of games that they on their own time because they PERSONALLY enjoy it. NOT for the views, not for the click, but they can enjoy themselves.
I also think what happens is because of gaming becoming more mainstream to the point that it crossover with other media plus the demand for top of line graphics that it cost money for that type of the game the consumer want so the devs had to turn to the suits. The suits dont care about the consumer wants they just want the money and they no the gaming consumer will pay extra because we live in a generation where ppl especially gamers are afraid to be left out, "excluded" and wants to be "included" so badly. I remeber it was ok to a in the middle game like those b tier games that in the bargsin bins in the store. Nowadays it has to peak S tuer level or a game is dog dookie.
im not reading all that
What game came out in 2023 that I’m still playing now? None. Still would play Fallout4 , Skyrim, Mario party, Witcher 3, many others. Only game I truly enjoyed in 2023 was balder gate, and I’m not even positive that came out it 2023. I also hate cod and fortnight.
@snowterror17 I'm wondering what your point is?
Gaming isn’t dead, this is just another chapter in the book that is gaming
Just beat Pokémon red the other day for the first time in over 10 years. The feelings I got loading in and selecting my Pokémon and then when I beat the final bosses have not been felt since playing PS2 games. Gaming will never be the same.
2 minutes and no views, bro fell off…😞
2 minutes 💀💀💀
Yep it’s over 4 days and only 143k views. Shame 🫠,
My local library had all the cheats magazines. I had a library card just for those magazines lol
I know a game that's free to play, called Vampire The Masquerade Bloodhunt. It's a vampire battle royale game that has a free battle pass. The game doesn't use real money anymore instead you get the tokens from the battle pass and when you're done with the battle pass. The game gives you more tokens for the game's shop. So it really is a free game, the problem is that the crossplay wasn't finshed when the developers stopped development so PS5 can only team up with PS5 and PC with PC. The same Studio that developed the game is also making Exoborne right now.
oh timmy, i remember surfing with you on OG Horizon servers on csgo. Good times.
yeah, welcome to what some of the older crowd were saying years and years ago. the moment that everything started moving to even play the disc for a single player game, that you had to be connected to some server to even play, was the moment we realized it was going downhill. The required update on day of release, or week of release, was just evidence to the issue.
its def part monetization and part community, its very rare for games to even have after match lobbies anymore most of the time the people you play with changes every match so you don't really get to meet many people especially in certain games
It just feels and shows that gaming went from gamers hands to business mans hands. The whole double edged sword saying plays perfectly here
People keep saying, "Oh it is just nostalgia, you've gotten older." How can that be the case when I had fun with Cuphead, a relatively newer release? How could I enjoy Jedi Fallen Order & Survivor? How could I enjoy Cyberpunk 2077? RDR2?
There are great games, that are newer, they're just rare. I had a great time just recently beating Dragon's Dogma 2... It isn't JUST nostalgia...
Achievement hunters know a game can never be boring.
The part TIMTHETATMAN
was talking about when he played with friends and enjoyed it. ... Those were also the days of dedicated servers. You would go and play on your favorite servers with your friends and if there were anyone on the server spoiling the moments they would get kicked or banned. Now p2p connection harder to get those monitored properly instead of dedicated server owners. so to keep you wanting to play with that scenario is then achievements. How do you think dedicated servers and more custom game modding after words would effect the gaming community again? I remember quake 3 and making maps and models for others to download for free as we were all doing it as a hobby. No money from it just pure enjoyment. So you easily bought those games at the time for $60 even back then. Only mods that cost money back then were huge updates like quake 3 team arena which if you look back at it the clan arena appears to be more from the rocket arena 3 mod. Those are the days though that I miss. I still enjoy games and playing them with people but there is a disconnect in there compared to 25 years ago.
One reason is the availability of information. You can essentially know everything about the game before it even comes out. That takes the sense of wonder/adventure out of games.
Man I feel horrible for people who love video games but don’t enjoy them anymore for whatever reason is valid for them. I’m 36 and have been gaming my entire life. There’s never been a moment I didn’t love it or had something I didn’t love playing. Imo gaming has never been more enjoyable. So many awesome things to play and grind.
I remember playing delta force, us socom navy seals, tribes. No battle pass no phones no crazy updates. Just you and the boys on a school night until MASH came on and it was time to go to sleep. Different times
We must have lived the same childhood because I also played 1.6 , had all the homies over for lan parties, and just overall enjoyed gaming.
I get "nostalgia anxiety" when I think about it.

Gaming is art, the best art is produced from passion. The worst art is produced from pursuit of $
First moment I felt gaming wasn’t as fun anymore was GTA5 online. I’m not talking release time. It was when the night clubs dropped.
I remember coming home from my real life job, loading up GTA5, then I had to do the weed farm stuff. Then the bunker stuff. Then I had to do this, then that, then another. It literally felt like I was clocking in at another job. It was sucking the life out of me. I could just buy shark cards, but I fell for that trap before and regretted it.
So, I uninstalled GTa5. 🤷🏻♂️
Some games are very much fun to me and they are mostly single player games. The online gaming world has become a chore and after so many years of grinding and draining the bank account, I just walked away.
Like the guy in the video said…I probably watch more videos about gaming than I actually game now.
Turtles in time was a massive memory for me.
I think people forget, gaming has always been meant to be a break or escape from reality. Never become people’s actual reality.
Coming inside from playing whiffle ball for 7 hours capping it off with an hour or two of gaming created memories. Reverse it, spend 7 hours in a game and an hour or two of playing outside, it’s not fun anymore.
Gaming is rarely fun... sometimes little more, sometimes little less, but gaming on its own is never always fun...
What makes it fun for me is playing with friends, having fun, talking, commenting, screaming when getting chased in the game and making my friends laugh as much as they make me laugh and enjoy time together in the game...
He dosent play like that he plays for money and plays non stop all day and seeks the best players help to win and get good game play there’s huge diff.
The real problem is that we are trying to chase nostalgic feelings. They cannot be replicated.
Timmy is officially Goosetastic now
Me and my friends used to play black hawk down 4 player split screen on a 16 inch tv for hours every day 😂😂
It's crazy to imagine there is a whole generation of gamers who will not get to experience split screen play. Having your friends come over actually got kids out of the house.
My very first own game was pokemon yellow (Pikachu). I think I was around 6 or 7 years old. Good old days!! ❤
We would bring our PlayStations and TVs over to our buddies houses and have like 5-6 guys in the same room playing call of duty. Good times.
In my opinion the biggest issue is the all the sbmm and sweaty lobbies being the ONLY option for a ton of games. Having a sweaty ranked system and then an actual casual normal system where you don’t need to try so hard would be majorly beneficial. I’m a competitive person and i love being competitive but there’s times when i wanna play a FPS and not have to sweat just to have a good game, so to me there NEEDS to be an option between casual and sweaty because both have important roles and nearly every FPS shooter nowadays has moved to only sweaty options which gets very stale, even to someone competitive
this is why they need to go back to completing secret quests or challenges for rare skins it makes it feel actually cool to wear it
“We dont stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stopped playing” quote of the day. Timmy don’t you live like next door to Ninja and Cloakzy?? Y’all could still be doing the LAN stuff and all that but you’re just choosing not to! Cmon now your living 95% of people dreams right now!
consoles and dlc was where it started...pc had expansion packs to games that were alot bigger then dlc's that started on consoles
Who wouldn’t want to make money playing video games either that’s definitely like a dream come true for a gamer
I don't think anything has changed in game other than companies had business practices.
I've been gaming for 35+ yrs and I can honestly say that while bad practices from companies have dirtied the industry, gaming still hasn't lost its magic. From high end simulators to walking simulators I'm still in awe of the art of games.
Turning 30 and im beginning to feel this i work 50 plus hrs a week and barely have time to play when i do i play quick matches dont have time for grinding games , a couple years ago i got platinum on ghost of tsushima, last of us, and spiderman now i only play some quick multiplayer stuff
