Correction, modern main stream gaming sucks...off brand games and indie games are still amazing
Correction nerd, most games that come out on ps5 and switch are incomplete and feel rushed and most indie games suck balls also
@@CloudStrife-jb2hg you just have to play the good ones, there's no lack of reviews and information before we waste our money. I dont think i played a "bad game" in the last decade at least. Oh i think the only time i fell for the hype trap was with might no 9. Bought Pizza tower, resident 4 remake and armored core last year and never regreted them. But i just bought them after through research.
hell, a good chunk of mainstream gaming is good. Plenty of indie games are solidly mainstream, and helldivers is a AAA game published by sony.
"Modern gaming sucks now" is a take from people too lazy to do a single google search.
Dave the Diver go hard
the bandicam logo takes me back
Modern AAA games are going to take a long while to get back on track. For now I will stick to AA, Indie, and some retro that I missed out one since I was to young.
Yeah for sure, there's so many of great games that I missed or have never played, that once that happens I will have played everything haha
Yep I wish I still had my 3ds so I could replay the remakes of Ocarina of time and Majora's Mask I'm also addicted to Mass Effect
Fam I swear I have this problem games now are ass and too expensive 😒
People who say "modern games suck" dont realize there are more games than those released by EA, Ubisoft and Activision, or are unaware of the idea that you can play old games
Don't forget your 50+ Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley clones
I think that you misunderstand what 'modern' gaming refers to, also the video is about playing old games, thanks for not watching after like the 2 minute mark haha 😂
@@Channel3.14Big ego on this nobody.
@@wilfweNightsky ever thought indies have more options and variety beyond Stardew Valley like games. You have plenty of great indies in every single genre there is lmao
@@Channel3.14 i saw the entire video first. And modern gaming by definition includes the entire indie scene, otherwise, its not modern gaming, since the indies are carrying the scene and the innovation
Okay, let me list off a few games that came out in the last 5 years that are all great.
Baldur's gate 3
Blasphemous 2
Coromon

Dave the Diver
Death Must Die
Disco Elysium
Dredge
Elden Ring

That's just listing some of the best games on my steam library, not including games I have on playstation, xbox or switch. All of which came out in the last 5 years, all of which I would recommend at full price.
Not every game that comes out in the modern era are suicide squad, redfall, back 4 blood etc.
Was not expecting a lego indiana jones monkey brains reference that's a throwback
I find I’m drawn towards the classics constantly. There are a few new games I look forward to, but I honestly get more hyped for announcements on remasters or re-releases of my favourite old games.
I’ve played since I have memory. Hurts to think that I keep buying games that I barely play because I loose motivation to keep on going. I don’t have that reward or satisfaction of playing because everything feels extremely artifitial in these games. Games back then we’re made by small teams with some sort of chemistry that it’s transformed on the “spark” or “soul” that these games had. I miss that simplicity that made us have short but so entertaining experiences.
🤔 - Hmmm...
🥹 - OoT is very nostalgic for me...
I've been gaming since I have 5 years old and man, has gaming changed. AAA devs have become so greedy, and gives us less and less features. The features we do get is locked behind DLC, season passes, battle passes, etc. WTF?
I have a high end gaming pc but lately I've been playing switch and older console roms on my SteamDeck.
Ocarina of Time was the first game i bought with my own money. I saved up a month's worth of lunch money 🤣 I was in high school at the time. One day my kids picked up my 3DS and started playing it. Now they've beaten it more times than I have! The game is truly timeless.
Also, it aint almost 22 years old, its almost 26!
As with anything, as soon as a creator gets routinely good at what they are doing, the expectation by management builds for next installments and new games. We are not in the pioneer phase anymore, the market is staked out. True, uncompromising creativity is nice, but at the end of the day you also have to be able to afford it - it's sadly a luxury. And when you are then able to afford it, suddenly you have to think about the job security of all the people that are now working under you with which you have personal relationships and so you have to ensure your game will be a mass success. That's why we have huge empty open worlds with quest markers and so on, and fuzzy genre melanges that make no sense. It's a proven concept in terms of mass appeal. E.g. I don't think Todd Howard is uncreative, but at some point the machine is just running.
Which version / modification of OoT do you play? I see that it allows you to bind items to the D-Pad, which would be cool to try out.
It's called Ship of (something) if you Google that it should come up :)
@@Channel3.14 Ah that's sneaky! Thanks 👍 I only notice now that the framerate is much smoother too!
Games got dictated by economic market conditions. It’s profit over swag. In app purchases, loot boxes and the finance department of game studios creaming to the cash. Last thing on the minds of the big studios is creating a quality game. Now a golden skin for my AK though kinda sounds awesome for 4.99
Yeah for sure I mean valve hasn't really made much in the past 10 years or more. It's our fault that skins and other things are so much more profitable for them than making a new game
Then, why dont you just stop buying games from big studios? If you want a good game, just seafch one among the millions of good games developped by small studios.
Older games had way more charm. That's a hill I'm willing to die on. Now you have to rely on indie titles but they can only do so much with a much smaller budget. That's why many of them play and look similar to one another.
Two words: Chrono Trigger
You look like the kind of guy that would 200% the map of symphony of the night
Personally, I think playstation's Ghost Of Tsushima was very good
I hope it's good, I might try it when it comes to pc
Not a bad call although Indies are getting amazing nowadays. Started out rough with the oversaturation f roguelikes and lites but now its getting insane. AA titles are also amazing. Problem seems with modern gaming is most developers aside from nintendo forgot games make games not hardware and graphics. Not every game needs to be groundbreaking or have budgets of billionaires or even take over 5 years to develop. If you like metroidvanias you should check out Animal Well and try Nine Sols when it comes out which Nine Sols comes out very soon and Animal Well is already out. There is a bunch of cool indies in the works with stuff like Aikode, Duskfall, Urbano, Big catch, Billy's Bust up and much more. Excellent video.
OOT really is a game that I think looks its best close to original resolution. I grew up after it, and for years I tried going back to it and giving it a go, but something always felt off about it. Even on the 3DS with all the modernisations.
Then a little while ago I played it over composite on my TV, and finally whatever seemed to be missing about it wasn't anymore. Obviously, that's a bit higher res than the OG still but idk, it's something closer to what the devs must have expected us to see it as. At the end of the day it doesn't make the gameplay any different but for me it's a big improvement in vibes that was enough to get me hooked on something I just couldn't get into before..
It looks very odd, basically wrong, at that framerate.
I don't agree with the idea that there aren't any more great games coming out, specially after such a strong year as 2023. But I will say that there is a certain level of "old-school mystery" that is gradually fading away and almost completely gone from AAA games.
What I mean by that is the lack of secret commands, extremely rare RNG events (like Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire's Mirage Island), hidden unlockable characters or game modes (Mortal Kombat Armageddon comes to mind), missable content that change each player's personal experience, or any other odd occurrences that simply aren't explained in-game and are left for the players' interpretation. Be it due to the limited technology or simply because the older games weren't made with future online updates in mind, but a lot of these "extra" details and quirks are now almost exclusively left for DLC, paid or not, and are always shown or explained before release. The games are already "discovered" before anyone even plays them.
I know it may sound like a small deal. But in my eyes, even if a moden release is 'better' than an older counter-part, you know exactly what you'll get when you buy it, meanwhile the older might have a sense of discovery that not necessarily improves the game itself, but might make it more memorable and exciting to play through. Maybe that could be seen as lack of hand-holding, and in some ways I feel like this lack of mystery is mostly to blame on the publishers and not on developers (like many of the problems with modern gaming).
I don't know, I still have a lot of fun with both modern and old releases, and I can see strengths and weaknesses in both. The indie scene is also getting better and better each year.
I got beef with games, gonna drop a sneak diss
My favourite game is batman arkham City great immersion that keeps the users engaged sucks that now the batman games are more for iding off the nostalgia of the arkham series you should mak a video about arkham knights or suicide squad kill the justice league
Batman Arkham city was such a good game, did you ever play the dlc? I agree that the new games in that universe suck and look like cashgrabs. Somehow even the graphics and other features are worse than they were in Arkham knight. I don't really have anything positive to say on them and I'd avoid playing them
What about conkers bad fur day ;))
That always looked fun isn't that the funny squirrel that says the nword
Amen, Brother! We should go back to good old days of arts and immersion as the current state of the AAA industry slowly but surely crashes and burns!
Yes gaming is about having fun, so why not just stick to the good game.
We did it girls. We found the doomiest hipster to ever pick up the sticks.
People be like: Ayo modern mainstream games suck, not indie games tho!
Bro be real, all modern games suck ass lmao but nah, get excited for the next indie retro inspired throwback roguelike rpg!
Why play new games when Morrowind already exists?
Agreed, but unfortunately I have yet been able to get properly into that game, only played it for like 4 hours.
I really dont know what your talking about there are plenty of great games out there now, subnautica to name one or how about breath of the wild, hell even paper mario thousand year door got a remaster,and is coming out soon your just complaining for no reason
I don't really see how a remaster would fit this category, subnautica is another survival game of many and I don't like those games very much. There's a lack of games with a good story and immersion
Idk i feel like open world games that give little to no direction don't work lets talk about the amazing breath of the wild and Tears of the Kingdom they don't have markers everywhere but they do have little tricks and journal entries that are concise and well written as well as reliable NPCs (even when they say they just "heard a rumor") to lead you to where you need to go (like for example the mountains) Morrowind (a game that is frankly good but gets more praise than it deserves) doesn't at least not discernable ones "look for the fish shaped rock that we didn't bother even trying to make look like a fish shaped rock it looks like every other brown blob in the game that we are calling rocks because our graphics are bad even for the time oh also this NPC is straight up lying to you about where you need to go good luck" i hate when old games do this trick of having NPCs be unreliable because it never works out
Depends where you look. Baldur's Gate, Elden Ring, Spider-Man 2, Horizon Forbidden West and Doom Eternal make their own cases. It's a good idea to go back and discover some classics, someone out there hasn't played Symphony Of The Night and should fix that right now. But yearning for how older games made you feel is a trap. If you're lucky, you can recapture it once or twice. And then it's over. Don't be fall in love with your memories, fall in love with gaming. If you don't, in 10 years, you'll be kicking yourself for missing out games that came out now while you were too busy searching for the warm fuzz of a CRT on a Saturday night.
