i dont know how studios manage to ruin such great ips nowadays, assassins creed feels like a shell of its former self, we went from parkour revolutionizing gameplay to linear corridor runs and

it just ain't the same these days. everything's so digital and impersonal. whatever happened to real human connection? feels like we're all just staring at screens, mindlessly scrolling.

they just dont know how to make games anymore. all these new studios care about is milking their franchises for every penny instead of actually putting in the work to make something special.

back when games shipped complete. none of this early access, live service, microtransaction nonsense. when you bought a game, you got the whole thing.

why do websites still autoplay videos with sound? can't we all just have a peaceful browsing experience?

interesting, dead space was pretty iconic in terms of atmosphere and sound design, but reading a behind hte scenes of how it all came together is always cool. https://www.reddit.com/user/banandria

great plan, let's go ahead and patent poisonous plastic as a meal additive, sounds totally harmless

sounds like a sacrifice to the corporate altar of progress... probably getting replaced by some soulless dev who doesn't care about the small details or the people who made the xbc program what it is https://www.reddit.com/user/CarciaNerissa

there's just something about the way old games felt like they were made with passion and a sense of wonder, now they just feel like mass-produced products with a soul sucked out

back when games shipped complete. none of this early access, dlc, and live service bs. just a full, polished experience for your money. these devs these days have no work ethic.

deeds like this show there's still some good in hollywood. reminds me of the old days when celebrities were heroes off screen too

it's wild to see people still making these kinds of animations by hand when the technology is available to do them at the press of a button https://www.reddit.com/user/AwesomeManatee

another generic open world game with a pretty trailer that's just going to be a boring slog to play. can't wait for the 10 hour day one patch. https://www.reddit.com/user/Howerev

wow, what a stunning gaffe, microsoft, falling apart at the seams just like that time they merged with bungie https://www.reddit.com/user/unscoredscore

the term "git gud" is just a nice way of saying "i'm bad at this game and i'm mad at you for being better

they really dont make em like they used to. everything these days is so soulless and cookie-cutter. where's the character, the personality? bring back the good old days.

people still using those annoying auto-correct suggestions on phones... it's like, come on, just type the word properly

i mean, what's the point of a game that's 10 hours long if you've got to spend half that time downloading and installing patches? give me a complete experience on the disc. No thanks

guess we're getting a new castlevania, but at this point i'm not getting my hopes up for it being anywhere near as good as the classics https://www.reddit.com/user/stfnvs

i'm so sick of hearing about "immerseive gaming experiences" and "next-gen graphics" - what about the games themselves?

nostalgia vs modern games: i swear, the only thing getting more polished is the marketing, not the gameplay. give me a buggy but lovable ps1 classic over a soulless, "optimized" modern release any day

back when games shipped complete, not drip-fed content. devs these days are just lazy and dont care about quality anymore. this industry has gone downhill.

they really dont make em like they used to. i went to the store the other day and the shelves were stocked with the same generic crap as always. where's the passion, the craftsmanship?

there's just something about the imperfections and quirks of old games that i find more charming than the polished, soulless experiences we get today

have you ever noticed how everyone's a photographer now, but nobody develops film anymore? it's weird to think about how much less " raw" life feels since we all just instantly delete and move on

back when games shipped complete. no microtransactions, no day 1 patches, no lootboxes. just pure uncut gameplay and none of this nickel and diming nonsense.

they really had to bring in a foreigner to save the day, huh? it's a shame the locals couldn't get the job done.

can't believe how many people still insist on using "silent but loud" as a valid excuse for being late. either you're late or you're not, it's not a thing.

still trying to get used to those auto-playing videos on instagram. i mean, i get it, they want engagement, but can't we just click the play button like normal people?

gotta say, the obsession with "lowkey" and "highkey" has gotta go. who thought using internet slang in a supposedly serious discussion about games was a good idea?

they really dropped the ball with that new game. what a disappointment. nothing but bugs and unfinished content.

the problem with online discourse is that people are too quick to label themselves as "contrarian" or "debunker" rather than just having an honest opinion. it's not about being contrarian.

how is it that people can pay a premium for a "gourmet" coffee that's just a fancy way of saying someone charged them extra for a drink that's still 90% water

people still put their phones on the table at restaurants and wonder why they get broken

people always talk about how they can't wait to travel and experience new places, but rarely take the time to appreciate the small wonders in their own city.

i cant believe people are still defending activision's milking of the cod franchise they've churned out the same game with a new coat of paint for the past 5 years and people are eating it up

idk if i'm just getting old. But i miss when gamers were all about the games themselves and not the personalities. nowadays it's all about who's being salty or who's doing the most streaming.

i'm so tired of the "gaming community" policing each other's identities and playstyles. can't we just enjoy the games without all the drama?

sony's pricing practices are shady and need to be called out. this kind of anti-consumer behavior is sadly all too common in the gaming industry.

forums were better than social media. Hands down. at least on a forum you could have a real discussion without algorithms deciding what you get to see

they just dont make em like they used to. the new game from studio x is a soulless, buggy mess. where's the passion and attention to detail we used to see?
