Every medium is going to have more bad than good. That’s just how shit works.
Comment on Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time
64bithero@lemmy.world 4 days agoI am not saying there aren’t any good games. My argument is there are fewer and fewer year in and year out. Especially at production levels.
For every 4 decent games I find 500 absolute rubbish. Not to mention the high profile games that had their servers up for a month or less. can’t say I’ve heard that often in my life time.
Sure you can point out to 4 games and claim victory and piss on my grave. But from perspective you’re missing the point…

Yes, ofc there’s lots of rubbish, it’s easy to make games. There’s tons of shit music. There’s tons of shit paintings, there’s tons of shit in every type of art. But there’s also more good stuff than ever before. And the previous stuff hasn’t gone away either, it’s just more and more. You can’t possibly enjoy all the good art that’s out there. Are you sure you still enjoy video games? Maybe that’s the issue…
Look up the year 2005 or whatever. Tell me how many you’ve played and how many you’ve enjoyed from that year. Some years are better than others especially if you have very particular tastes, but there’s no way there were more good games before than now.
Most of the games I’ve mentioned had budgets in the millions, but here’s some more big budget games from last year that were well received: Mario kart world ghost of yotei ninja Gaiden 4 south of midnight arc raiders Death stranding 2 donkey Kong bananza stellar blade Elden ring: nightreign metal gear solid delta Dying light: the beast
And that’s only a few that come up in a quick search. I’m not trying to piss on your grave.. but just because EA, Ubisoft and Activision aren’t making good games anymore doesn’t mean others aren’t.

When there are far more games being made in the first place, good and bad, I do not think you are correct at all. There are still tons of great games coming out, but you don't seem to want to look for them as you've already shot down previous comments bringing up critically acclaimed modern hits.
I think nostalgia has you remembering the best games of the past, forgetting about all the slop that used to come out back then too, and losing perspective of the actual time scale in between those hits. If you compare the very best games from a full decade to just the average game that came out last year, that comparison will be very misleading.
