The Xbox Series X, S and Playstation 5 are the new 9th generation gaming consoles that have more gaming power, more technical abilities and more potential than every other gaming console ever. But for some reason, they don't have any magic, any video games worth talking about, and they seemed to have lost the entire reason people buy video game consoles. So in this video we breakdown what exactly has happened with the 9th generation video game consoles. Can the PS5 and Xbox Series X make a come back or are the video game consoles we once loved gone forever?

This video is a GIANT love letter to the special magic video game consoles gave me growing up, let me know if there's other gaming topics you'd want me to cover next for this series

Regarding communication aspect its heavly moderated by automated ai bots that banning people sometimes for stupid reason to the point people are just not talking because they are affraid. You can get banned for typing GG in chat in some games. Ubisoft recently trying to team up with police to tackle "toxisity" in chat and games.
I think it's magic. It was vr games. There are a lot of games f.f 7 rebirth re 4 it's better on ps5, ratchet and Clank Spider-Man 2. Games cost too much hard and a lot of time. I love remake! Bc I see what I want beautiful game from my childhood I want them to do all remakes. helldriver 2 stellar blade I would rather play a ps4 game on ps5. The controller is amazing. But I do agree with you, tho! They need dicth ps4 and an old xbox xbox, just an xbox game pass machine. The only good one is ps5 or Nintendo. Make hits and worth buying. I'm excited for games coming soon like Re1 remake Silent Hill 2 remake metal gear 3 remake and other we don't know
I give you like! pc is expensive too if 4k and at best frame rate, the pc is bigger, and I need it in pc cost 500 for low grade that's no grade and super nice one is 1,000 to 3,000 I like to play on a TV not Monitor I don't play online as much I like singer player games more all have Positive and negative some ps5 you can't play the pc have games you play on other if you think about! have a good buddy

It still feels like this generation has barely even started yet.
Almost four years in and people still think the "next gen" consoles just came out.
It's current gen for years now.
I forgot it's been years since ps5 launch
That's so true... I feel like 9th generation came out like 6 months ago.

Consoles don't feel like "dream machines" anymore, they're bootleg PCs now.
but PC gaming suffer from shaders compilation stutters and tons of various issues (driver, system, bad HDR implementation, etc). It's more pleasant playing on console and I have a very powerful PC (7800X3D, RTX 4090)
@@jonathaningram8157 if you use Windows, that is the reason why the system has issues...
@@jonathaningram8157 fair criticism, but arguably fixable 80% of the time with either specific modifications or updating. Also would take the ability to mod games over a 30+ fps increase over 60 any time xD
@@notaliablename2538 I play at 4k 120 fps on an OLED display (really fast reaction time) and a tiny tiny stutter is clearly visible on PC and for a lot of modern games, a large majority is simply unfixable. At first I thought my config was the issue. Built an entirely new PC with crazy specs, still happens.
Lately I had to refund Hogwart Legacy for instance because it's a stutter fest. But basically 90% of game I played had this issue, all Unreal Engine games too (PSO Cache) . Only older games without asset streaming or simple graphics don't have those issues.
I think most people don't realise that yet because there aren't many that play in >60 fps and competitive gaming don't have those problems because they actually solve it by compiling shaders at the start.
The funny part is the Steam Deck is sometime smoother than PC gaming because they share the caches.
Try and play new AAA games on a $500 PC .
TVs are massive now but split screen is being discarded? Makes no sense
Not sure if the consoles can handle split screen right now. Also, they would rather you buy 2 games and 2 consoles because they lose SO MUCH MONEY selling consoles at $500. Split screen will never come back.
@@crabbypatty10fefrefe You can play Gran Turismo 7 in Split Screen Mode and it is no big deal.

Spot on. Bunch of sissies got the job for money not passion
I understood that reference
They didn't have fancy machines ! They had sticks. Two sticks and a rock for the entire dev team ! And they had to share the rock ! Devs nowadays should consider themselves very lucky employees !
Every AAA Studio: 'Sorry sir but this isn't the 80's"
You forgot to add that we need to pay for online gaming in consoles
That's why I never bothered getting a console it's so dumb
😢yeah they have to have that worm on a string that keeps your wallet open.. READY to telling you you don't OOOOWn the game tho
To be fair it's been like that since the original Xbox lol
Same with PC
@@shadewolf22yea for Xbox. As someone who played on PlayStation I was so heated when they did that shit
Nothing I hate more than finally buying the game you been wanting, going home, putting the disc in to find out it needs to install it…. And then update it. I miss playing new games once I put them in instead of waiting an hour or more to finally play it
It's not the install, it's the fact that the game is like 200gb
Games are getting bigger and bigger, what did you expect ?
@@RaftFx optimisation, games have unnecessary files. COD for example
I'm glad I don'r have to deal with multiple discs for the same game anymore hahaha

I have never commented on a TH-cam video in 10 years, but oh that montage got me. My dad, who to this day has never really played a video game in his life, stood outside of a toys r us on a business trip to buy me a 32x and Star Wars arcade for the Sega genesis. He traveled a lot and normally he would give me the little bag of airplane peanuts. I was floored. I played that game for literal days without stopping, My dad gave it a good try, but he just could not figure out the controls. This is just one of one hundred stories that I can think of growing up. Video games brought my friends and I together, got me through some hard times, and really built a sense of community (I miss my FFXI guild). This content is something different in the sea of TH-cam. A call for positive change, showing what is great about this medium we love. I look forward to much more content in the future. This is great stuff. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Nintendo leading the gaming industry with ancient technology. Games first. Power isn't everything.
More finished games, less patch marathons.
Sadly I feel like PC will destroy Nintendo soon, because Nintendo is a great system, my first console ever when I played Mario Kart, but I feel like PC will be the future and Nintendo will die.
@@Challenger461 different markets tbh.
@@Challenger461 Naaaahhhh
@@Challenger461 That couldn’t be far from the truth.
1. No innovation
2. No creativity
3. No soul
Those are my three reasons why.
Also bonus
4. Greed : BattlePasses, 30-500 skins , SBMM , Safe gameplay,
I miss my hobby.
Gen 9 was more innovative and creative than gen 8, by far.
EOMM, SBMM has always existed
@@mobbsti661 Not this precise, aggressive and manipulative though
@@firstlast6226 Exactly, what you’re talking about is EOMM, not SBMM like everyone thinks it is. Just google it
Greed isn't a bonus, it's the main and most important factor. Capitalism encourages businesses to minimize costs and maximize returns, often at the expense of originality and innovation. However, this isn't always the case with PC. PC often supports more innovative and ambitious titles. Star Citizen and the upcoming GTA 6 are expected to fully leverage the power of modern PCs. Already released titles like Baldur's Gate 3 show how the PC can handle complex, richly detailed worlds. Other games like Cyberpunk 2077, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and The Witcher 3 continue to push the boundaries of what's possible. This demonstrates that, at least in the PC space, there's still room for creativity and technological advancement despite the pressures of capitalism.
Meanwhile Nintendo: "Dont call it a comeback I never left".
Aonuma said knock you out!
"Now hold my sake while I sue everybody so you can't emulate games we won't sell you"
@@Hamdad strawman point
W hardware as strong as a PS3, and game series that are too scared to step out of their comfort formula
@@HopperSamaa Zelda was basically rebooted with Breath of the Wild tho.
The best way to game, is to always be on a delay of about two years. That two years gap, makes absolutely everything you experience technically polished, and very affordable. Pre-orders and rushing to play the latest is for TH-camrs, teens, and reviewers. No self respecting gamer would bother with either.
That's the way to go, with the sales they have too
Yup I got the PS4 3 years into it's lifestyle and the PS5 last year December. Always wait about 3-4 years into the consoles lifecycle that's when it starts to have a lot of games💯💯💯
@@Andrejr316 Exactly! Especially now that the difference in games is comparably small. Is not like you are play PS1 games while everyone is on PS3, kinda gap.
100. They always do mid gen refreshes anyway. And launch titles by that time are cheaper.
What happened is the world has become a sanitized corporate dystopia tbh
Its true, everything is so boring now adays
Greed destroys everything
*cyber punk music plays*
Facts
You won, Charlie! You won!
The worst thing about this generation is corporate greed, mobile games (being more profitable), subscription models (takes profit away from good studios), games being released unfinished (cyberpunk), digital games purchased are in limbo,
Forcing the mobile game micro transactions into full priced home console games was the Worst thing that ever happened to the industry
@@SPRITEVIDS101 one of the worst things as well
also the fact that covid, chip shortage, and scalpers literally caused so many people to wait 18-24 months before getting access to the consoles, so the companies were forced to continue making things work for 8th and 9th gen. So they got used to that. Didn’t really start only making games for 9th gen consoles until almost 3 years into the generation except for certain exclusives
Why do people think corporate greed in video games started yesterday?
@@sammiches6859 it's never been as blatant as it is today.
Getting a console as a kid was like the wildest experience. Absolutely mind blowing, I had a ps3 at the time, getting a wii also and loading up tiger woods 2012 I think and playing pebble beach was absolutely a dream come true, watching my sister punching in Wii boxing like a kangaroo unforgettable, the mark left on the wall from the will remote, unremoved by my family as its memory’s of a forgotten time. That’s what this is the boom then the bust, it’ll come back around, I know kids today will have somewhat of the same experience without the social interaction and that sucks I missed that the most.
Crediting office space as a documentary was gold 😂
One of my favorite "what are we even doing?" moments of this generation of games was Sony Santa Monica saying the PS4 wasn't powerful enough for their vision of Ragnarok will be...and then it ended up a cross-gen game anyway.
Greed
I tried to find this quote and I don't think this exists.
Sorry, but Santa Monica NEVER said their vision of Ragnarok on PS4 wasn't possible 🤣 Why would it be? God of War Remake was planned as a trilogy from the start. I don't get why you guys lie to yourself to make you feel bad about consoles you bought. its so weird.
Sounds like fake news
I would ditch console gaming if learning how to build a PC didn't feel so overwhelming and it doesn't help how so many pc gamers make everything sound like you're building a rocket using unnecessary, complicated tech phrases just so they can stroke their own ego for owning a PC
That video montage made me cry so hard man!
Back in 2001 I repeatedly begged my mom to buy me a PS2 and she couldn't say yes because we can't really afford it.
I begged her for 4 years to buy me one and the answer is always a No. So I finally gave up and moved on.
Suddenly one Christmas morning on 2005 a gift box popped up in front of our door and the last thing I hoped for is that it was a toy gun or a lego toy.
It was a freaking PS2!!!! My mom gave it to me at a time that I never even expected it and I shrieked and yelled for hours!!
I loved my Mom so much even if she didn't bought me one, but that surprise made me appreciate her so much more that until now, I cherished that moment and it was the best gift that I've ever had. My Mom is the best!!!!
You're Mom is awesome! I think some of the best gaming memories is when your parents give you a game or a controller of a new console on christmas knowing full well there's a console hidden around the corner for you to open next 🤣. Absolutely peak memories, I had the same thing with the GameCube and it was incredible
bro you made me cry with this haha :')
I still have my PS2, my kids are just amazed by the different designs of the Playstation consoles, still fighting my son to get time in on the PS5 tho.
Aww
I smiled and cried a little reading this
Covid shortages chilled this generation to death. No one could get a hold of one at launch. Launching a game for the 9th gen meant launching it to no one. No one had the consoles so no one was buying games. So developers shifted their focus back to the previous generation. And now the 9th generation is suffering from severe frostbite that will probably kill it shortly. Because there are no games no one will buy them and because no one will buy them there are no games. That launch window is critical.
The ending was an absolute blast. All the memories of our friends playing these generations, makes you wonder where they've gone.
The problem is, people from marketing backgrounds, who despised gaming have now become the managers. They just want to earn loads of money for their companies and themselves and have no regards for the players experience. They rank themselves so high that they price themselves at the rates at which Rockstar sells their games.
Screw Rockstar. They’re greedy
@@NFSBeast2365 but the experience they provide is worth every single penny. I completed RDR2 1.5 years ago and I was still playing it in free roam
@@NFSBeast2365 oh brother rockstar ain’t even the worst of them. They make shitloads of money but they also deliver big time
@@Lancehendrix813 he should check out EA for that case
@@sarthak_chandra even worse. Microsoft and their egregious idea of charging people for online gaming (as well as following trends such as adding micro transactions, loot boxes, and even selling subpar titles for the same price as other quality AAA titles).
Split screen is such a hassle nowadays too, since you need to log in an account for every player for modern games
And you probably need an online subscription, if it’s not a thing somehow yet will probably be soon
Can't even play call of duty split screen without the other account having a ps plus account it's insane
Local multiplayer shouldn't have to be difficult...
So true. Playing FIFA on the same console is so tedious when you have to get around having EA accounts for everyone. Even if it takes a few seconds to figure out how to get around it, it's an unnecessary step we never had on the PS2.
On Nintendo games, split-screen is absolutely not a hassle.
Just found your channel. I remember the excitement of my young son with the Gamecube and me standing in line at a Walmart for 1 of 12 Wiis to surprise him come Christmas morning. Something has been lost in the past few gens of consoles. Sadly, something that may never be replicated due to mismanagement and corporate greed. Subscribed.
Idk if its from aging. But that last 2 minutes almost made me cry..
You cant stop the flow of time
I think the explosion of retro gaming verifys what you are saying. People are more and more looking for ways to play older games that are not only brimming with nostalgia, but lets someone just pick up and play the dang game.
I personally believe that people also just straight up miss Story-rich single player experiences, imagine if people kept making games like perfect dark or black, imagine if we had 20 games at least relatively similar to that. But we don't, companies just seem to be really afraid of writing new stories for some reason.
I’m not a retro gamer by any means but I definitely started playing my old games from 2018 and older because they are so much better than the new games that need money to have any fun.
Also, retro games pretty much always had couch multiplayer. That's getting hard to find these days
For real. I bet there are lots of people out there now using emulators and buying old consoles. The stuff that I'm having any fun with are the occasional great SP games, like BG3.
@Otgel I know right. Tetris had a great story right. 😉😏
Buying a new console feels more like a necessary evil instead of an upgrade
Just like politics and life in general now.
Just get a pc bro. I've had my pc since 2015 I can't even explain how much better it has been.
@@TallTaleGael precisely this.
Got a PS5 to play with some of my friend while still having the PS4 laying around.
The only good thing of it is literally the features of the controller - the bad thing is just how cheap it feels, for the console it just feels laggy and that's about it - the whole design in it (including the connection issues on voice compared to PS4) feels absolutely useless and like the devs on it didn't really want to do it - had that thing for like 3 months before I sold it off on ebay again.
There's just no point in a console that does everything worse than the previous one somehow all while you gotta pay monthly/yearly just to play online - for the money the subscription adds to the bill you may as well buy a new high end PC every time a new console gen arrives - and on that one you're not only stuck with the few games available but also can choose what to play with and entirely customize the controller layout - which rather brings up the question why consoles have such a hard time to allow for that.
I got Series S because a gaming PC has been a major expense in 2021, and even now still is. Why to replace a laptop that can do everything except for any serious gaming, if you have Series S for comfortable gaming? At least that was me a year ago. Now? I am considering milking out of the Series S and never returning to gaming once it dies.
The issue isn't the price of the gaming PC. It's immediate affordability and immediate replacement of parts, should something happen... What is the fault of the adequate wages.
I am from Poland and the majority of Poles do not earn more than 60% of the national average wage.
@@Unknown_Genius disagreed on the sub model being equal to price of the gaming PC. I have been using Xbox One then Series S for the past 8 years and ONLY RECENTLY I have hit the price of the gaming PC that would be capable of running modern games. After almost a decade of console gaming. But keep in mind I am from the EU, so not only are all our electronics more expensive but also they slap 23% tax on top, what already is bad for Polish realities where a small group of people earn the average national wage.
I mean I could get a gaming PC. But that would mean dropping socializing and any other hobby. Are video games worth such a sacrifice? Absolutely not.
This whole time im still thinking WHY IS NIKI MINAJ IN COD
Meanwhile Nintendo is over here like "we have exclusives that you cannot get on PC, a good user experience, and did we mention the fan service?"
Greed and incompetence that what happened.
You have to thank DEI for that one
Thank DEI for that
And DEI
And corona

Mannn, that montage at the end was amazing. Wow. What a time it was to be a gamer. I’m so thankful to have been there. My brother, my friends, the midnight releases, the pizza parties at each other’s houses. The golden era, truly.
Seriously man... it's been a rough couple of days in my world. The videos at the end of people opening up the goodness of a retro console brought a tear to my eye. Those were simpler times. A great and accurate video, my friend.
I love how they're talking about releasing the ps5 pro and upgraded xbox, meanwhile they havent even come remotely close to maximizing the capabilities of both. Brilliant.
This
What haven't they maximized? We got games running at 30 fps still, these machines are from 2020 using hardware from 2018, they're ancient at this point, pro consoles are long overdue.
So the best solution never anyone in the whole world buys their next improved consoles even reviewers to show them how all players are so frustrated and angry of them. Let them bankrupt as they made us buy their garbage for nothing.
@@Malinkadink If any gamer really cared about the latest and greatest best specs, they'd get a PC already

Meeting people and actually talking with them back in the day seemed so easy and frequent. Now I'm shocked when I hear 2 people giving call outs in the game.
Stellar Blade is the only memorable thing from this current gen, it's crazy.
It isn't just video games. It's movies, TV shows, music and everything else. We're looking at an end of an era.
It seems like corporate greed has just sucked the soul out of everything
TV is almost better than ever. Yeah movies and video games suck. Music is almost exactly like video games in one sense that AAA sucks but Indie stuff is amazing and you can find things that suit your taste perfectly.
it's because they're hell bent on pushing certain messages and narratives. And some of these games are so big and expensive they can't afford to take a risk, so they go the safe bland route, which ends up being riskier in the long run.
I would say sports as well everything is dying or I may be depressed but football(soccer) just isn’t the same anymore Ronaldinho,Neymar, Maradona, Qauresma etc man I miss 90s football
@hlogilehlogonolo5438 you might just be depressed or wrapped up in your own personal nostalgia.

Yep. I have no feelings towards online players, and most of us just want to be left alone. Online gaming creates frustration, because most gamers aren't taking your gaming time seriously, or they don't know how to play and you must teach them all the time.
and that's also a problem in our modern era, not everyone has the privilege of having friends
@@aetherland1883 It's not like they couldn't make online game for online players, but they try to force everyone to play online games only.
I still invite friends over for mario party smash ultimate and Mario kart and my older Nintendo systems because at age 36 I don't ever want to give up local multiplayer ever its always going to be fun
Dude, great job. Ending tugged my heart strings.
This is the first video that I've watched of yours and it was fantastic. It was informative, hilarious and nostalgic. Bravo.
Those people receiving their gifts really put a smile on my face
It did to me just now :)
Same man, same🥹
Fr fr 😢
For me it put tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart. Because I feel like I whas born a decade or two too late.
It put a tear in my eye because I miss them days, midnight queuing for CoD: WaW, MW2 and BO1... ahhh. Also getting home after school to the xbox my mum had just bought me.
Man, the ending hit hard.
I remember in the 1990s growing in the Philippines we were struggling to make ends meet financially. We could never afford to buy a gaming console, so i would just always go to my friend's house to play.
Imagine my surprise when one Christmas morning, my parents got me a present which turned out to be a SNES. Even though i was only 9 years old at the time, i burst into tears because I knew my parents sacrificed just to do that for me and my siblings. 😭😭😭
Your montage really brought back a lot of wonderful memories, and for that I'm thankful. First time watcher, AND subscriber to your channel. Keep up the good work!!
you're a bit older than I am, but I have similar, slightly different story.
we were poor, and would go to friends and play their SNES after it released.
well, one Christmas we got a console-sized gift.....
But it wasn't the SNES! it was the re-designed NES.... my parents bought it because it was cheaper and they didn't know the difference. haha.
We were ungrateful and upset and deserved punishment.
Where I am PCs are a lot more common than consoles and I had a shitty old PC until about a year ago, at the same time I also got a PS4. Unfortunately I already grew out of having any hype for consoles so after a few matches of MKX I just stopped playing it and now dad has practically taken it for himself. Not like I care, I have a pc.
I just know it wasn't a SNES but a Dendy
Damn that ending got me intensely emotional. Way to capture the spirit and nostalgia.
"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them."
Helldivers 2 definitely deserves a spot on great games for this gen.
It does, but the concurrent PC release would still filter it out of his list.
I’m an old Gen X dude. Gaming has been a big part of my life since the 80s. Unfortunately, to me, greed has killed gaming. This has slowly happened over the last decade. I refuse to support or partake in the constant cash shops, gacha loot box, battle pass, ads, etc., crap that has ruined my life long hobby. I pretty much have gone back to retro gaming. Those games also respect my time.
Frustrated millennial here who can relate. I've worked hard to hit the gym, lose weight, eat healthier; all these great things and I was looking forward to a new GPU or finally getting one of these new consoles to treat myself; but... dang, I completely agree, the only games I like and get excited to play and/or revisit are all older games from maybe early 2000s/90s/80s.
So this new hardware that I want to be excited about would just be wasted.
don't be afraid to get a PC or even a used PS4 (if you haven't already) to try out modern indie games that go for the tried and true formula of being a complete game start to finish without fomo mechanics, there's great titles made by smaller people like Animal Well and Trail Out that respect your time and give you a stellar experience
Sadly the retro gaming market is now abused by greedy scalpers
@@commandershepard9920 I think the same way, I was thinking about getting a new GPU also(I have an RX 6600), but no games of this "new" gen makes you feel attached to it, I find myself more browsing the web and going back to emulators than playing actual PC games, and when I go back to PC games, it's an older one. Like now, I'm having a lot of fun replaying fallout 3, I don't have any other current game that makes me feel the same way.
@@kpgaming13 yeah just pirate everything lmao. No reason not to at this point
There is something nobody seems to have noted:
Limitations brings creativity.
Most, if not every, clever game mechanics we got in the past were due to hardware limitations and toughtfull ways to squeeze the maximum fun out of it.
As a professionnal chef and a game dev hobbyist I can assure you that's its far easier to work around stricts ressources.
Give me every ingredients in the world to make a dish and I may stumble, but give me 5 and I will optimize it to death.
Same in gamedev, the best innovations in recent years came from gamejams. Why? Strict and arbitrary limitations
That's right, every polygon in super Mario 64 was part of the world and you could walk on it or kick off. So that's how your world is now
That is an insanely accurate analogy.... I was trying to mentally pinpoint any reason I can find that these devs just feel like they aren't taking advantage the tools they have available. The number of games that actually feel next gen is staggeringly low.
Makes are very good point.
Also supports why the Nintendo Switch has so successful despite being the least powerful console on the market even on release.
feels like lack of creativity, regardless of limitations
@@TheOldest That's because graphics and power aren't why people play games. One thing the best sellers of the 6th, 7th, and 8th gen consoles have in common is that they're not known for cutting edge graphics, and it'll likely be that way with 9th gen.
Look at games like Pokemon Go, Fortnite, Palworld, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Baldur's Gate 3, Flappy Bird, Lethal Company, and so on. Those games did well because people had fun playing them, which is a goal that big publishers are killing off in favor of, money. Indie devs have been a godsend.

also *IMMEDIATELY* suggests console murdur...
Gotta love it!
My main thing is: Why would I want to pay to play online when I can do it for free on PC? I have a PS5 and they now charge $80 / year just to play online, which killed it for me
I distinctly remember both when NSO came and brought the "expansion pack" version, when anyone complained about it we got told "Xbox and PlayStation have been doing this forever why are you upset now, it's normal". That's the problem, we are upset about that too, it shouldn't be normal to pay hundreds of dollars for a console, controllers, at least one game which are commonly prices between $30-70 now, and then pay a recurring subscription to be able to play online.
Congrats on thinking for yourself, and not following the majority. You're absolutely right - no reason to own the consoles - pay their online membership - lose backwards capability - and deal with their corporate greed.
PC gaming + switch (2) is the move. Ps5 games are coming to PC anyways. So why own a ps5 - unless you really really wanna play that (1) naughty dog game that may release in this generation. My thing is - if you can wait 10 years for naughty dog's game - a few extra months for a BETTER version on PC is better.
To be able to play games on PC would cost you every 2 years at least a graphic card upgrade which is usually the most expensive upgrade and the cost of a good one is similar to the whole console. So maybe that's why people buy consoles. I used to be a PC gamer, until I realized this habit emptied my wallet quicker than any other hobby including mountain biking 😁😁😁. But that's my take, everybody to their own.
@@strider00svk40What kind of rich idiot would buy a new graphic card every 2 years when a 5 years gpu can play all the modern games?
@@strider00svk40 I've been building PCs for decades, and it's gotten to the point I don't want the hassel. I can buy a console, like the PS5, and I'm done. Turn the system on, select the game, play. No remembering login passwords for 50 accounts, constant OS and driver updates. Screw that. Plus, I can easily play on a 60" TV.
Devs: making games is hard
also Devs: guys, looks at how powerful and easy these dev tools and engines are, i can make big open world games ezy and fast.
Me: Visible confusion.
what you have stumbled upon here is Epic games really good marketing with unreal engine.
As someone who has worked with Unreal Engine in a full production environment, it is much MUCH more difficult to use than you'd think.
Their team tends to move on to new and shiny features rather than flesh out and optimise already existing features.
If you're making the exact type of game they're marketing it's excellent, if you want to do more bespoke custom stuff it can be a nightmare.
@@bearwynn i can imagine what you are talking about, but i heard the same story of "game engine can make big games easy now" from the luminous engine, cryengine and frostbite engine i believe, even Bethesda was bragging about it with their creation engine , but thats doubtful anyway.
There this big talk in every GDC and other dev's cons that the tools and engines for making games are becoming more and more powerful and easy to use, this is a narrative they have been running for almost a decade now, if its true or not it doesn't matter since the point is that they say, when they are those cons that making games is getting easier, but when they release a subpar game they go with "making games is hard and expensive, please buy our 70$ unfinished bug mess, dlc /micro transaction filled battle pass live service, "game". So forgive me, if i call them out on their bullshit.
The gaming companies lost their integrity. Business is supposed to be about Service. "How can I be of service to you?" It's not supposed to be about, "How can I rip you off and take your money with the least amount of effort?"
The consoles and gaming companies are losing their uniqueness and individuality because they're so busy trying to copy one another.
A good example of this is the game Fortnite.
Everyone saw how much money they made with the Battle Pass.
Now the gaming companies won't make a game without meat riding the Battle Pass technique... 😢

The problem with 8th and 9th Gen is they release games that aren't done then patching it
I mean, that's always been the case ( Destroy all humans Path of the Furon for instance) but yes gen 9 especially has been the biggest offender
that is a problem with gaming right now in general and has been for years
Only one solution - DO NOT BUY THEM.
If it needs a day one patch - it's incomplete. We do not pay for incomplete products.
@@233kosta but most games are like that back then and now it's pretty normal for updates and honestly I'd rather the game get fixed instead of leaving it a buggy mess.
@@erianpeterson3431 I'd rather it not get released "on time" and get something playable on day one.
My biggest issues with this generation of gaming are:
1.) Preemptive game updates, patches, and installs (especially for physical games)- That’s like buying a DVD to watch a movie, and then having to wait for the movie to download… the dumbest thing ever
2.) Micro-transactions- I’m not paying you to play a game that I just paid $70-$110 for. I’m also not paying for that experience to be enhanced.
3.) Ignoring good ports and remasters for terrible and/or unnecessary ones- To this day, I don’t understand why GTA 5 has been sold on 3 different console generations, but we have yet to get a GTA 4 Port. And then Rockstar ruined the trilogy remaster😑
4.) Games that aren’t supported by reverse compatibility- This is mainly a PS5 issue, but you can’t tell me that my $600 paperweight isn’t optimized and advanced enough to run games that they PS3 and PS2 could… bffr.
5.) Developers releasing horrendous titles- Saints Row 2022… enough said.
1: this is why I have gone digital for the 8th gen console (ps4), the data on disc is useless since I usually have to redownload the entire game anyway.
My only hope is Rockstar games
Even for Xbox retro compatibility, only a portion of Xbox 360/Xbox games are retro compatibles. Furthermore, generally no FPS or graphics improvements.
@@kingsgaming2265 That's very naive, Rockstar is the new EA. GTA5 has been milked to death
Can I add, being forced to have the multiplayer component of a game taking up valuable space on my hard drive when I don't play the online multiplayer of the game.
dudeeee the part where you talked about getting the series x expecting a new boot up or homescreen was so real. i remember buying one at msrp on release, being super hyped and just being like “oh… its the same thing”
So right on all these points, just having this conversation the other day while playing Destiny 2 a 7 year old game, what happened to the ingenuity, where are the games pushing boundaries. Have not existed in a long time.
The ps3/360 era for me was the best time for gaming. Loads of great quality games packed with content & not a battle pass in sight
Agree. The best era. Plus we had such a good variety of games. It was just amazing and really fun.
PS3 free online and when you bought games it came w a free digital copy. Wireless controllers, sick games. Fun times.
Yes, because you can get away with slapping some Pixelated Texture,
While the Current Gen, Everything your saw is Modeled, Sculpted, Textured by hand, every tiny detail,
Not to mention the Character are also Modeled and Sculpted down to a Single Pore, it's Crazy time consuming.
I'm a software engineer myself, and Programming isn't the Most time consuming Part,
Creating the World, the Characters, Weapon, Monster, that took significant amount of time,
Not to mention the Talent required to Reach AAA level Artists is so much higher, than the Mountain
Game Programmer had to reach
and Gamers today are way more entitled, judgemental, and overall can't accept something if it wasn't exceptional.

Thanks for the video
I feel like this was briefly touched upon when you showed how much cool stuff you got with that big StarCraft bundle. But one thing that I miss dearly with games is the extra artwork and things that you would get with them. We haven't even gotten physical manuals for over 10 years now. To me there's sincere value in appreciating the packaging as well as the game itself.
I think major key in the communication in games back then was the fact that not everyone had a cell phone. I remember being so excited telling my parents I could talk and send messages to my friends on Xbox because I didn’t have a phone yet.
Tru dat i had sex tru xbox 360 party chat
Lack of everyone having a microphone and lobby chats not existing really ruined half the fun of arcade shooters like CoD
People screaming obscenities in my ear was an amazing and magical time. And I'm tired of pretending it's not.
Not to mention CoD sucks and is shallow with little in the way of teamwork to instigate the usage of mics, which is why they had to introduce the progression system in the first place. Compared to Halo 3, where basic communication and coordination dominated matchmaking lobbies.
Blame the woke people that moved into the industry. Everyone is scared to get their accounts banned.
They forced gamechat on the 8th generation
bro, im playing Cold War on PS5 and most of the lobbies people talk so much shit and you hear the enemy team before and after the game and every time you die you can briefly talk to who killed you and you killed. it makes it fun when people just go OFF on each other, or even just a gg

_“Developing video games is hard.”_
Indie game developers: Are we a joke to you?
They are the best proof of that. Most of indie game developers are loosing money on their games. Success rate is very low there.
@@michaczajka5873 stardew valley story is good lesson for this.... they work 12hour days for multiple years.... not any way easier to be indie.

They aren't wrong, games _are_ very difficult to make. Every game that manages to release is a miracle, especially ones in brand new IPs.
That's still not an excuse for the unfinished states they're commonly launched in or being actively made worse than past games, though.
it's really very hard to make though
Less than half of PS4 owners purchased a PS5. Turns out releasing a $600 console with $70 games in an economic downturn wasn't the smartest idea.
My bro still rocks his PS4. He said theres no need to get a PS5.
You are forgetting that scalpers also made it difficult for ppl to even buy a PS5/Xbox in general as well.
This is not an issue. If it had games, it would sell better than anything because there is almost no conpetition since xbox has no exclusives since 2 generations
@@MuffHam Funnily enough, I've found that you can still buy brand new PS4 Slim consoles at Argos. I've ended up buying a few while they are still available lol.

bro Wii tennis broke my nose 💀💀💀
This is history repeating itself. When the topic of the 1983 video game crash is brought up, you see a lot of the same things. Game companies were following the money, selling lots of awful quality games until gamers got fed up. What's not often brought up, is how at the same time inexpensive home computers like the Commodore 64, Apple II, and TRS series were exploding in growth and the games for those small PCs were booming.
It's all happening again.
Yup, PC gaming has really been exploding in popularity while it seems like most people are complaining about how disappointing the console experience has become.
Imagine buying a console in 2024. I got out of the ecosystem after PS3 and Xbox360 I saw the decline coming. I can't imagine playing anything not on PC these days.
If I recall the crash was in the United States only.
said video game crash was entirely limited to the north american market, mind you. The current issues are... not.
Also, the indie part of the industry is still trucking along just fine, it's really only the AAA part that's having problems (in part because they insist that everything must be not only AAA, but record breaking biggest release ever AAA, rather than ever making smaller, Cheaper, titles that are inherently able to be lower risk Without crippling their ability to be good...)
Yup, and you know PC gaming has increased when you can go into Target and they have a whole section of stuff for PC like keyboards, mics, even stream deck equipment.
We have reached the end. These companies have no idea where to go from here. The best years are behind us. 😢
Nah, just play indies until these folks go bankrupt from their mistakes and the next crop of decent companies comes up. If the consoles remain crap, switch to PC
Welp only nintendo is doing their best with ideas in hardware and games. Sony and microsoft forgot what consoles was for. I have vivid memories with multiplayer offline at my or friends house. Now the only console we start up us the switch for smash bros, mario party , mario kart or zelda, metroid , mario. The game mechanic is fun and the graphic is only a 2nd thought. Sony and Microsoft graphic first, DEI second, Story third and game mechanic fourth.
We’re just bags of $$$ to them now
We’ve reached an end because activists have taken over the industry and cratered it. AI will be the great equalizer, small groups of people will be able to produce impressive games in the next 5+ years that put the big developers to shame.
@@theoldgods8229Small teams have been dunking on the mainstream since the PS3 era.
Also, Companies go to what makes the most money, so they're going all in on inoffensive live services (the current big thing) in a bid to be the next mega-hit, which has been their meta for forever
Not sure where 'activism' is coming in.
I just wish communication and community was still encouraged. Nothing will ever recapture the feeling of rowdiness that existed in pre-game lobbies as well as during matches. Shoutout Halo and COD fans, you know what I'm talking abt.
Yeah, I just rile up twitch chat on the rare occasion that I have time to catch and join a live stream I'll enjoy. 🤣
The launch was so horrid that I just won't buy the new console out of spite

Pre:Post game lobbies are the best and need to be brought back at all costs. Despite the offensive crazy talk you sometimes you get, it adds so much to a game.
I literally play with the same 6 dudes for every game currently because I meet them in COD4 lobbies. Legitimately met friends in lobbies.
They need to separate online gaming from subscription. That’s the most shittiest thing to do. No one wanted that extra hit on theirwallet
xbox 360, one and ps4 all had paid online, only ps3 was online focused console with free online, so it was always there and is one of the most sensible thing for subscibtions, because server upkeep is a thing and it needs constant money flow
@@kacperolszowski1331 I'm sure both Sony and Microsoft could easily fund server upkeep through the 30% they gain from each game purchase. That's exactly what steam does.
@@kacperolszowski1331 Wii and Wii U also had free online
I will concede that a fee is warranted for upkeep of servers, chat/party features and so on. But the absurd prices they are charging now is simply predatory in my opinion. Was it it like $95 Canadian a year just to be able to play online? Thats just terrible. No way internet connectivity, bandwidth or server/cloud services are 2x more expensive now than 15 years ago.

Wow! Those last two minutes of videos of people excited about their consoles made me feel so nostalgic. Gaming rarely feels like that anymore and it’s the biggest this industry has ever been. I miss feeling hyped and excited about playing a game.
😭😔
We're just old now...
Bro I felt this video in my soul. 7th gen was a gaming experience that permeated into every facet of Americana. Friends talked about new and upcoming games, Blockbuster was still running strong, and couch co-op for Halo 3/Gears was still peak weekend entertainment with good friends.
It was not niche at all, and in a good way. It was a glorious time to be a nerd. So, so many memories made.
Now everything is corpo slop, nobody wants to play anymore, Blockbuster is dead and GameStop is not far behind, it seems like gaming as a cultural phenomenon of 07 is truly dead and buried.
I don't think newer generations will ever know what it was like to be a gamer during that time.
We once lived as Kings.
Wild to hear. Everyone I knew was on Steam playing TF2 and refused to ever pay for the internet to play games.
Hows that working out for yall too btw? Still paying for that ass of a UI and network connection.

Man the 2000s and early 2010s were an era to live through, gaming has never felt the same since. Greed and infinite profits are the real problems, and it's only going to get worse.
totally agree i still remember getting my first Gamecube back on Chirstmas in 2004 and i finally got the chance to play super mario sunshine that i got a month earlier and played it all day,those were the times 😁
Gamecube, gba, wii, 360 and ps3 were peak gaming for me
Nah, 2010s game releases were not that good lmao. There was a shit ton of great RPGs on the 3DS, so that was something, but like the only viable home console was the PS4, and that didn't get a lot of its best games until like the absolute tail end of the decade going into the next.
I remember that Christmas in 1986 when my mom came home with this huge box wrapped in, like, 5 layers of different gift paper. I'll never forget when I peeled through the wrap and saw part of the "Nintendo Entertainment System" logo and spent more time jumping around the living room than I did unwrapping the system. It was the grey box with the grey zapper, a copy of Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, two controllers, an automatic coaxial switch box so we didn't have to get up to switch between the game and cable box, and a chunky black wall wart. Mom had also taped a copy of Zelda and a copy of Tetris to one end of the box, so I had four games to play right off the bat.
I'll never forget the experience, nor the similar experience I had getting my SNES in 1992 (I still have it, actually!). As I got older, the excitement over getting a new console dwindled, but it was always refreshing to know I had something I could just... go turn on and play. But I also stopped thinking of consoles as ... well, "consoles", after the Gamecube and PS One. The OG XBox was just a glorified PC (even running a stripped-down version of Windows on typical computer hardware), and the PS2, DreamCast and Wii were just sort of... hybrids. Something in between a PC and a console. Anything after that generation became some sort of abomination that I didn't really "enjoy" that much.
I actually miss putting physical media into my console, turning the console on and sitting down to play it. Or carrying it over to a friends' place to chill on their couch and go split-screen. I miss that the fact "I don't have an Internet connection" doesn't mean I can't play half (or more) of "my" library. Sometimes I even long for the days when the advertisements about games and game consoles were on the TV stations, not a part of the console/game, in there just causing more load-time and slowdown in general to show you something you probably already know about from visiting the sites associated with the console you've got.
I feel like we've been in a few Halo Infinite matches together as enemies and allies. When I saw you're Spartan ID player tag thing. It felt familiar seeing the name ZenkaiGoose in game.
I always liked being matched with people I'd played with from previous weeks. It felt good to fight alongside or against a familiar Spartan.
It's not just consoles. It's everything. This society has stalled and it's about to collapse because corporations have overgrown way past their limit, corporate greed is ruling our world, and the worst part is that there is absolutely no innovation whatsoever. Remember when you bought your PS3/360 after playing with your PS2/XBOX? Remember how mind blowing it was to experience the next generation? And then people upgraded to PS4/ONE and they were disappointed. And then PS5/Series X came and nobody bought them at the time, first because it was impossible due to waiting lists and then because they had no games you couldn't play on the previous generations. And the graphics aren't even that impressive for their price anyways. Simply put, they don't have anything else to offer anymore, they stalled. The feeling of advancement and accomplishment from the 2000s is long gone.
‘Nobody bought them’

Sims make me happy because it feels so much like irl driving and there’s no bullshit from actual companies, the games are built off of mods and servers that people can run themselves. New cars added every day by car enthusiasts and mods added by engineers that just want a better driving experience.

Coming home from your corporate software engineering job that sucks the joy and life out of you and trying to artificially imitate some semblance of freedom and excitement in your life through a virtual and fake world seems dystopian. A sim racer can have realistic physics but it will never be like the real thing, especially when you install so many mods on assetto it becomes unrealistic quickly.
@@dr.schlump not sure how this is dystopian. Ive done in in real life before and Sim racers mimic real life so you can sidestep costs. No shit I’d love to take my real car out.

You’re gonna sit here and tell me that I CAN afford 4x Pilot 4s every month or so, granted I’d also have access to a track?
@@dr.schlump As someone who also sim races in Assetto Corsa, it will never be the real thing but it can sure get stupidly close, especially with a full rig that includes haptic feedback in your seat and pedals, as well as VR.
Even a high-end sim rig setup with everything you could ever want in it will be much more cheap and accessible than going out on a real track in a real car, as much as many people wanna be able to do that.
Also, it varies from mod to mod whether or not it is realistic. There are so many good car mods that accurately portray the real cars that they are based on, and then there are cars from servers like No Hesi or drift servers that have stupid-easy cars to drift. And then there are also hotwheels cars, shopping carts and amazon boxes.
It's gonna get worse when you realize they know that people are going to pc, and they will scummily sell you a sequel to your favourite game ONLY on consoles.

What's crazy is that in 10 years most of these live service games will be so incredibly hard to play, possibly only with emulators and servers, look at how it happened to mkwii online, and that game is one of the popular ones...
Just look at The Crew.
For service games is like you not spent the money to buy the games. It's more like you spent the money to rent their servers. Once the games popularity fade out, they shut down the server, you can't play it anymore even you bought it .
