Comment on Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time

So true! Remember the good old days with games like Expedition 33, Baldur’s Gate 3, Resident Evil 9? Those were the best. It’s a pity games like that don’t get made anymore.
WTF are you talking about.

Fuck off then, stop hiding your “I don’t care for the current trends in gaming” behind a boomer-ass “they don’t make em like they used to” take. There’s tons of good games and there’s always been a bunch of low-effort garbage to sift through. We used to call it “shovel-ware”.

Then it sounds like the real issue here isn't that the narrative-driven games you talk about in the OP don't exist at all, but that these games just aren't being laser-targeted at whatever specific and narrow set of tastes you have.
And honestly, to an extent I do get where this kind of frustration comes from. I've felt like my tastes have narrowed with age too, and I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about certain genres that have completely faded from relevance. But I've had to come to terms with the fact that this isn't an industry problem, it's a me problem. Just because my kind of specific niche favorites don't get catered to doesn't mean that good games don't exist at all.

I’ve been contending with this as of late, as well. I had been searching for the types of games I used to like, but not being happy when I tried new ones in those genres. It turns out I’ve been getting bored of gaming in general, and the games that do hold my attention aren’t quite the same as genres I used to like.

So what kind of story driven games are you a fan of?
