I want the entire modern economy to fail.

Playstation Choo will always be a classic.

chasing trends? but the game its so outdated on it premise of being a hero shooter

I will delete anyone on my friends list playing this trash!

Lgbtq+ in games is not a trend its a guarantee to go broke.

Does everything need to have a live service game? Does every game have to be a big budget game? The fact this STILL isn't fixed shows that developers just are not understanding. Final Fantasy 16 took longer to make than Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9 and 10. What would you prefer? What would they off made more money from? Start focusing on new ideas and easier to make games. 1 < 2 year development window, targeting a $30 price point.

I never got the reasoning behind "game X is really popular now, lets do a clone of game X"... People who want to play game X already have game X and they are busy playing it, how about you make something original and new for those who dont have it?

Sadly, if I had to summarize PS games in two words it would be most likely “movie games”

"it looks as uninteresting and unoriginal as it sounds" 😂 great quite there!

8 YEARS?? lol 😂

Honestly, i dont mind seeing characters who arent conventional as long as the game is good (concord isnt) and there isnt heavy handed ideology with it. But the political climate is too tense for gamers to accept diversity right now. Gotta remember most gamers grew up in message board culture, you're not winning them over with diversity any time soon.

Q Zone?

Ugly character design is a trend? Naive but sadly typical analysis. This is about leftist ideology based development focusing on being racist to white people rather than making a good product.

Overwatch 2 is not successful

It would be fine if companies didn't lie about literally every aspect of their games, makes it a bit difficult to root for them when they show us zero respect.

Another gaming "video essay" channel. this shit is so old at this point.

I actually researched clones/copies of Clash of Clans, most of them "hit the market" at around 2016, when CoC was still relevant😂. But they... Falied anyways😂 and only 2 comopetetors of CoC are alive today.... Castle Clash , and DomiNations .!

Where you from bro?

I’m an Xbox guy if you don’t. Want Sony to do Alice since then what would you do cause the share holders want revenue ever month they want they own Fortnite or cod Sony games get to big so how else would you do cause if they live service games don’t work then what would they start cutting the budgets and now Sony games or not what ya used to be

Because company got obsess with political correctness and demand. Now since people as whole realise the left have destroyed they own generation in movies, gaming and social day to day.

After ksp2, we’re not being hard enuff

10:10 no way did he sneak Starfield in there 💀

Hablas español verdad pa?

A generation of zero originality. Nothing but remasters, remakes, re-releases and nostalgia. Ps2 had so many unique titles it was able to take the focus away from Ps1! same thing with Ps3, it had enough new games to make a lot of people forget about Ps2. But now modern consoles barely have anything to offer hence why everyone is running back to old games and all the remaster craze.

This generation had so much promise and it has been so disappointing. Ugh.

I think it has to do with backlogs. There are just too many games released and releasING. People just play the new released once and go back to their backlogs, or they straight up add the new game to the end of their backlog.

It speaks for itself that one of your main criticisms of older games isn't even the games but a tag on reason about hardware not being good enough. Gaming industry is on the decline, unoptimized brute forced heavy visual games are even taking your "hardware has advanced" argument into the ring for a flight. Now I'm not a doomer, but I know the people who make AAA games are not even gamers compared to anyone who has been a decent... GENUINE video game player with consistent time put across several genres. AAA video games are made by a committee and board meetings and a lot of other useless mumbojumbo, and to top it all off, the recent breakthroughs in generative image models has made companies to further themselves more and more from artists. Why am I not a doomer than ? Because I stopped riding my train on the AAA tracks, for the most part anyway, I preserve, protect and help old games communities to survive.

Because there was nothing noteworthy playing in 2023. Older games were the shit. Who wants to play gay games, seriously.

Absolutely not.

We're just "harsh" on corporations lazy cashgrabs

Who's looking forward to Chess 2?

You listed Starfield as a great game. I feel that was a mistake. The story was pants and the space, and exploring aspect were boring and empty. You criticised games for this, earlier in the video.

Most of your video covers gameplay as the base reason we're being too harsh on games, and in a vacuum that may be true in SOME games. But the truth is that gamers are angry about the pricing, aggressive monetization, over promise and under delivering, forceful DEI, engagement based match making, always online, multiple launchers, DRM, cash grab remakes that don't capture the essence of the original etc. If you see chocolate wrapped in shit and still want to eat it, then go ahead I guess...

1:03 no we are not too old for new games, most newer games are just a steamy pile hot shat out cancer.

Looking Glass Studios Eidos/Ion Storm Midway Games Visceral Games Lionhead Studios Neversoft Companies have been killing creativity and passion in the gaming space in the name of short term profit, stockholders, and brand recognition. Now the people are fed up with the same uncreative, bland, unfinished trash. No, we are not to hard on them, they (and to an extension you) don't get to cry "Oh no, the consequences of my own action"

No man, games are the same since the Xbox 360 and PS3, which were almost 20 years ago. The difference is that companies have become greedier, developers have become lazier, and nowadays they expect you to pay $70 for any piece of crap they release and then spend more money on microtransactions. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 (2 years after its release, but still), Baldur's Gate 3, Black Myth Wukong, and Doom, just to name a few, throw your argument that "we don't want new things" out the window. We just want good games, and if they deliver good games, they'll get our money. Otherwise, it'll be the same as Concord and Dustborn.

I agree. While a lot of new games do deserve some of the criticism that they get, there is also a lot of unnecessary hate on these games. Horizon: Forbidden West for example, gets so much undeserved hate. Personally, I have almost 150 hours in the game and I think it is incredible. It has a community of people who love the game. Because it came out the same week as Elden Ring, it got pushed in with all the other "bad" games. It gets so much hate from people who have never even played it. While I recognize it has flaws, it seems like nobody noticed everything good that it did. The point I want to make is that if you go in with an open mind and actually try a game, you might enjoy it.

This is either a really bad take or you’re just trolling. But if you are trying to be a devils advocate you could’ve done a better job finding points to debate on. Because the arguments that you propose are invalid, the last one is a joke, try to play games yourself before judging? really? How about having a life?? There are so many games nowadays and so little time you HAVE to listen to rewiews and WATCH the gameplay because there is no point in playing the game to “try it yourself” if it obviously looks like shit, you know what I mean?

I own a ps3 and Xbox 360 there great

Great video! But lemme ask you a question totally off topic, are you from Brazil?

No, quite the opposite. We need to be harsher. The whole reason mega corporations get away with what they do is because of this whole "it's fine bro" mentality. It's what allowed activision blizzard to become what it is, and it's what allowed microsoft to sweep rareware under the rug. Garbage like dustborn and journalists melting down over games like wukong only proves that we as consumers who are the ones truly paying the salaries and the bills need to demand TRUE satisfaction for what we pay. This extends beyond gaming. I mean look at intel recently. I've been a long time intel user but even I can see how complacent they have become.

Gaming needs to evolve finally for fuck's sake. We've been doing the same thing same way for the last 40 ways and you ask why we're harsh or why they code wokeness into their games or why we hate modern gaming. I'd say focus on VR for once and make it all cheap and force it into as many households as possible and see what we get. Even cars. I'm sick. We need to reinvent the wheel. If the controller as we know it is already good enough and does the job then fuck it, fuck it and reinvent the interaction with game world. Fuck it all and try something new you creative fucks and engineers out there and change the gaming world.

cause the new ones don't work on their computer?

Idk, I feel we are getting improved. I hated the period 2008-2013 called "we want Call of Duty audiance". Since 2014 games are getting better. Sure we won't get back to the golden age of 1997-2007 where we had amazing industry shattering games one after another, but so what? Bad, good and great games always existed. During that dark age of "We want Call of Duty audiance", Mass Effect, Skyrim, Mount and Blade, Dawn of War 2 and Witcher 2 were released and they are what I consider one of the best games ever made and during the golden age, garbage we had like Bioshock and bunch of RTS clones and WoW killers (and are we going to ignore how predatory MMOs were exactly like microtransactions in looter-shooters are). Today we have Divinity: Original Sin, Hogwarts Legacy, Witcher 3, Ancestores Legacy, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Disco Elysium, Wolfenstein reboot, Pentiment, Shadow Tactics, Grim Dawn, A Plague Tale, Tales of Iron, Last Train Home, Endless Space 2, Expedition series, Pentiment, Kenshi, WW1 series. America, Britain and Japan no longer have monopoly (and thank god Japan has lost influence with their stagnant and narrow ideas), gaming preservation is active and well practice, we have many games to choose of different genres, there are various different teams of developers, console wars, PC Master Race fights and platform exclusivity are thankfully over (unless you look at Sony and Nintendo who look more and more like pariahs for that attitude) and no longer everything is concetrated into coprorate giants like in the days of "we want Call of Duty audiance". And just in case someone say "we are talking only of AAA corporate", that is the most stupid excuse I can think of. Valve when it made Half Life was an underdog, just like Rockstar was when it made GTA, or Ubisoft when it made Prince of Persia Sands of Time, or Bethesda when it made Daggerfall. The top players of their time made Doom clones and 2d platformers with mascots. Capitalism breeds innovation is one of the dumbest thing ever uttered by neoliberal elites (why elites who look a capitalism like a religion and not economic system would say something like that I wonder). It is strugle, necessity and/or will to improve and do something new and better that breeds innovation just like literally everything humanity has ever tried. And those who are surprised people mostly play older games, I am genuinely curious how none of them considered that maybe not everyone has money to throw for every new game, especially when games are ever more expensive, or that they want to clear backlog like me who is currently playing Dragon Age: Inquosition and Black Mesa because I want to finish those games first and I just felt like playing them, or they don't have the latest PC like this is the reason why I don't play SpellForce 3, Solim Infernum, Baldur's Gate 3 (also I haven't played previous 2), Lie of P or Starfield. Honestly, it's not a rocket science.
