New video games.
I understand the hype around a new game you’re specifically looking forward to, but people drag the Steam Deck because it’s “not powerful enough” for the latest AAAA game. Have you seen the disgustingly huge catalog of old amazing games from the 6th, 7th, and 8th console generations that are perfectly playable on the Steam Deck? How many games have gen Z and gen Alpha missed out on simply because they’re “old.”
I’ll probably be hung for this one but Disco Elysium.
And the thing is. I like text heavy dwcision-based games. Like I could go on and on about Shadowrun Dragonfall. But Disco Elysium was just do drab. It just felt like a slog of memorization, and when I gave up on trying to do that I was like “okay, I’ll just play and do whatever I feel like” the game punished me. Maybe people like that? I don’t know… Like… Maybe I like games for escapism? So playing some peice of shit alcoholic didn’t do it for me? It just felt like a depressing version of a good game. People kept telling me “you just need to keep playing it gets so good”. At like 6 hours in when it’s not good yet, you failed at good story telling and you failed at good game development. To each their own I guess.
Football (soccer).
Star Citizen. They’ve had a decade and almost a billion with a B budget yet they still hide behind early access for their buggy mess. They do this while selling ships for a grand USD.
Anyone playing that game gets ignored in any consumer rights or business ethics discussions. Lol
What is “gacha”? I don’t game almost at all anymore but never heard this.
Halo, i love the sci fi concept designs by sparth, but for some reason the game feels so bland to me.
Hell Divers 2. Cool soundtrack, cool visuals. But replay ability doesn’t seem that great. Some of my friends play it a ton. For me though, there was a lot of just slowly walking between objectives, hit a button, fight some, walk between objectives. Repeat each map with slightly different monsters and maps. But might just be that i didn’t get far past the first worlds.
Breath of the Wild. A big empty open world with a few fetch quests thrown in. The shrine puzzles are all trivially easy they’re just not fun and the four main dungeons are just a joke.
I get why it is popular, but Fifa/ EA Sports FC. I have never in my life played a way buggier, clunkier game and i literally only play single player on it. I feel like it’s just hot garbage but it’s the only…soccer game with the licensing gravitas.
Gta. I get that it’s a well made series, but GTA V got repetitive really quick when I played it and people act like GTA VI will be the greatest game ever made, despite the fact that they know almost nothing about it.
GTAV Online
It makes a BILLION DOLLARS a year of PROFIT. Not revenue. Profit. Why?
Monopoly. If it wasn’t a classic, and someone was looking for a publisher with that concept, they’d be completely trashed.
league of legend, this thing is so boring i cant comprehend the reason people are addicted to it since 13 years
I grew up with doom/unreal tourn/quake…all with heavy mods etc… so now every single first person game feels like just a mod of a generic first person shooter. Halo, skyrim, bioshock, rdr… it’s like I’m ruined for an entire section of games.
No one’s touched analog games so…
Monopoly. It’s tedious, it’s a grind, it was stolen from a last trying to say that landlords are shit, and it just ruins families.
Also the Outer Worlds is shit. It had cool art Nouveau style aesthetics, and had a great premise, but completely dropped the ball on practically everything. The art Nouveau ideals are counter to the world where everything is commodified and automatic. It starts off trying to be funny, but isn’t really, and does nothing to get you to feel like you’re stumbling into a capitalistic nightmare. You have no investment in the world or people or anything. It throws in the aliens and rebels like an afterthought. A fan made music video did more for the theme and feeling of oppression. Utter disappointment and they are going to make another for some reason
