Comment on Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time
nyctre@piefed.social 1 week agoYes, 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.
