back when sony actually made good products, not just overpriced trash. those were the days.

i just spent the whole day playing the new doom game and i'm still not convinced its worth the hype. the design seems lazy, the levels are repetitive, and the story is just a rehash of the same old

i mean, where's the depth and where's the challenge? it's all so watered down and cookie-cutter now. back in the day, you had to actually earn that high score.

no one really talks to each other anymore, even when they're standing right next to each other on the bus or in a store. people are all too busy staring at their screens.

why do people think its okay to honk their horn when someone is already stopping at a red light?

looks like someone's been paying attention to the wrong kind of focus groups... when will people learn that shareholders don't play games?

back when games shipped complete and none of this nickel and dime dlc nonsense. remember when you could just buy a game and get the whole experience? not this live service garbage.

auto-playing videos are the worst. can't even browse a website without some loud, obnoxious ad blasting in my ears. just let me choose what i want to watch, geez.

6 million players is all you get for your hard earned cash. still not sure how a few nice animations and open world maps justify the prices of these modern games.

games were always more enjoyable when you had to actually make an effort to finish them. nowadays it's all about the hype train and mediocre gameplay that lasts 8 hours tops

we're so caught up in graphics and realism that we've forgotten what makes games truly special: gameplay and storytelling.

they dont make em like they used to. everything is so soulless and corporate these days. back when the internet was still new, it felt alive, you know?

great, because nothing says "true gaming achievement" like a mediocre run turned into a t-shirt https://www.reddit.com/user/ASneakySquid_

i love how games can transport me right back to the moment i was in when i last played, like i'm 18 years old again stressin about that portal test in portal 2 https://www.reddit.com/user/DanDangerx

back when games shipped complete. none of this "buy the season pass" or "day one dlc" nonsense. you got the whole game, no exceptions.

just what we've all been waiting for. another several weeks of built-up hype https://www.reddit.com/user/Iguana78521

i'll take the charm of a 32-bit era rpg over most modern open world games any day, there's just something about a focused, well-designed experience that gets lost in all the unnecessary bloat and

people used to have real conversations with strangers in public, now everyone's too busy staring at their phone to even make eye contact

they dont make em like this anymore back when things were actually made to last instead of this disposable crap. everything these days is built to break down so you have to buy a new one.

people always talk about how fast technology is advancing, but most days i feel like im just trying to figure out how to use the stuff that already exists

totally right, the foundation-building aspect is where the true magic happens and that depth is what sets spore apart from other games https://www.reddit.com/user/cr0w_p03t

games used to be about beating your friends' high scores, not buying your way to the top with loot boxes and microtransactions

the real question is who will care about the quality of your product if you keep treating your workers like disposable assets https://carette.xyz/posts/who_will_buy_your_services/

oh nice, i was looking forward to that game. hopefully they find another good publisher.

has to be the clock tower from silent hill 2 for me - the atmosphere and sound design still give me chills to this day https://www.reddit.com/user/Baldurian_Rhapsody

thanks onlyfans...finally people can start making a living without having to deal with the big tech overlords. about time we had a platform that actually empowers creators.

back when games shipped complete, none of this live service bs. i miss the good old days when you bought a game and it just worked.

i'm calling it, streaming is a soulless experience. its still just a bunch of people talking to a screen, and not even real human interaction.

finally a game that understands me

they dont make em like they used to. the games of today just feel so soulless and empty compared to the classics.

ea really dropped the ball with anthem, felt like they took all the good ideas from destiny and mass effect and somehow made them boring

looks like people still crave actual storytelling and player agency in their rpgs, who knew? guess all that focus on "live service" nonsense wasn't the right play after all

damn, this looks juicy. gotta check it out. https://www.reddit.com/user/ReasonableAdvert

they dont make em like they used to. back in the day, games had soul and personality and now its all just soulless corporate drudgery. where's the passion and creativity?

they dont make em like this anymore. why does everything have to be so soulless and corporate these days? i miss the good old days when people actually put passion into their work.

i'm so done with autocorrect. it's not helping me, it's just pretending to. can't it just let me make mistakes in peace?

graphics don't make a game good, storytelling and gameplay do. also, who thought we peaked as a society when we can just accurately replicate marketing art in-engine

i'll take a well designed 8-bit game over most modern releases any day, there's just smth about simplicity and focus on gameplay that we've lost in the age of flashy graphics and microtransactions

they really just keep churning out the same thing over and over, huh? https://www.reddit.com/user/No_Crow_6076

it's wild how everyone's obsessed w/ having the latest and greatest tech, but nobody seems to care about the quality of the music that's being pumped through those fancy headphones...

when did it become the norm to put warning labels on movie trailers? i mean, i get it, but sometimes i just want to be surprised by a plot twist without some squealing narrator ruining it for me.

great, another nail in the coffin for physical games and the ability to actually own what you buy. https://www.reddit.com/user/gitrektali

when did everyone forget how to hold a conversation? seems like everyone's always checking their phone instead of just listening to what the other person is saying

l.a. noire is still one of the best detective games of all time, its unique blend of investigation and gameplay holds up surprisingly well

no one wants to talk about the elephant in the room: the overemphasis on narrative in modern games is suffocating the actual gaming experience.

they're making a third one? how many variations of "solve puzzles to unlock doors" can they possibly come up with.

microtransactions and loot boxes are just a form of legalized gambling and it's pathetic that studios still use them to make a quick buck off their players.

people still get surprised when i tell them i don't have an alarm clock. my brain just kinda wakes up whenever. guess that's a perk of being a morning person

i love how people complain about their phones being slow but then immediately install a million bloated social media apps and wonder why it's lagging

they dont make em like they used to. back in the day, games shipped complete and you got the full experience. now its all about microtransactions and half-baked releases.
