Comment on Anon is chasing an old high

Its easy to just use Input.GetAxis and apply some force for an asteroids clone, but now it doesnt feel unique. Thats what I’m trying to say. You dont have to use these, and you can make unique experiences with them. But the ease of access will also increase the amount of low to mid quality games out there, leading to people getting this feeling.

Sure, and crappy games existed when FF and others were made.
My point is that good games based on engines exist with a variety of art styles and whatnot. A lot of crappy games also exist, because the barrier to making games is much lower these days. The engine isn’t the problem, the devs are.

Agree to disagree I guess. The engines opened the flood gates, before bad games were news worthy. Now they’re the norm.
