Ive been there a few years ago. The best thing I did for me Was to stop listening to the big studios and publishers and not buying what's new, but what I know is good. Be that from Studios I can still trust to make games with an actual identity or hearing about games from online discourse. And the games which have been the most consistent at that, is indie games (for me). small teams or Single Devs making a game over the span of multiple years not chasing the next paycheck but to release "art", a piece of themselves, their passion. Ultrakill, Pizza tower, holocure, severed steel, signalis, pseudoregalia, furi, the coffin of andy and leyley (a Genre I dont even like). And more I am waiting to Release someday. I get what im promised. And if I dont like it then it's (usually) not because the game is annoying, or too bloated, or too time consuming. But rather it's just not for me. And that's fine. 5-20€ I dont regret spending. Their passion can be felt and is inspiring. And it has inspired me to make games myself. Im Currently playing doom 1993. The doom series has been in my list for ages. I only hear good things and they go on sale regularly. They dont chase trends, nor buzz Word Marketing strategies. They have an identity of themselves and that is DOOM. and everybody knows and feels it when playing. Go and have fun where you know you will find it. Thanks for reading.
I have njoticed indie studios doing much more heavy lifting for the industry as a whole, which is unfair since they get the least recognition in most cases, though they are getting more and more with time so maybe they will shine much brighter in the next few years, i appreciate the comment and thank you for taking the time to watch the video
Video games, or generally any other tool created within this world/matrix, has never been for us. Back in the day, they made them better to captivate us. Now they have our attention/addiction, they will continue to feed us slop, and people continue to consume. Remember, the same companies that made the ''good games'' back in your time, are the same people/corporations making the bad games of this time. Fortunately, we have social media and other tools to voice our opinions and get the games we want, when companies LISTEN to the audience, instead of being arrogant and detached from the real people who buy these products. My only suggestion is we go about it, in a more respectful way. Sorry to be negative, just my thoughts.
@whathappened246 I do understand what you mean though, and for sure it is the same studios and hell even people in some cases that made those older games. I think for me it's the fact that creativity was somewhat less restrictive as opposed to now, nonetheless I do still want to have hope, least I try
Well done 👍🏻
Thank you
