so why are video games so shietty nowadays?

[DoUEvenDrift]

/facepalm


All those games are just about the peak of what gaming is capable of achieving in terms of everything - graphics, gameplay, story, replay value, production quality, etc....


Batman: Arkham City is like being in a real Dark Knight movie but instead it's a videogame. It's about as epic and engrossing as the Nolan movies. I played that game for 50 hours in a month when I got it

I think we can agree plenty of top tier games came out last gen but (to get back on track to OP's point) gaming NOW and how it's trending has been less then spectacular... there have been so many AAA busts within the last year or two on next gen.

[Searching4Truth]

It's just nostalgia. Also, the Japanese haven't been contributing to gaming as much as they used to so there's quite a bit less innovation.

Not that I think of this while playing Awesome games like bloodborne.

they're still trying to figure out the technology on PS4/Xbox One. Give em 2 or 3 years


You have uncharted 4 coming out this year and that's going to be awesome. Bloodborne is great too

[RogerShah]

you can't seem to wrap your head around it. im not talking about how smooth the graphics are man. fukk

I repeat this again


GTA 5 has excellent gameplay mechanics. The driving, shooting, moving on foot, it's all smooth, natural and fairly realistic. There is nothing wrong with the gameplay

[bagge677]

i also feel that games are really going downhill nowadays. i think this is mainly because of games starting to cater to people who can only put in so much time. the truly greatest games were definately the real MMORPGs not some half assed mmo they produce nowadays.

games like ultima online and diablo 2 for example are still WAY better compared to MMO's today. play style and strategy wise those games are still way ahead of their time. if you took diablo 2 and remodeled it completely and put in the money they put in diablo 3, its only to imagine what beast of a game they could've created lasting for another decade or two.
also take ultima online renaissance for example. if you look at the idea of the game, game style, pvp and pve system, there simply is no game comparing to this, its not even close. sadly *******s prefer to plaY **** games with better graphics instead of quality games.

look at wow too for example. GOAT game when it actually was really hard. nowadays, you can get everything in the game with 2 hours of playing a week or so ? i mean everything has its pros and cons, however it robs the game of its real spirit. jsut my honest opinion.

ultimately, looking at the current state of development, ego shooters and dota clones will be the future as long as some firm doesnt produce the next WoW or something similar

The market was flooded with casual console *******s.

There will never be another goldsrc or quake engine rip in peaces

[CHARBACK]

bc people are too busy playing them instead of making them.

[FrenMaker]

Where my Dota 2 brahs at?

[joshewwah]

Enter Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Xzorroth]

fukin casuals

lol trademark cs:go **** insult.

When I played fps alot more, I was playing for 4+ hours a day, but yea, clearly casual.

[Sergis]

gaming has been dying since at least 2004

and its still here lol

[Aahl]

no they haven't, you're just a dumbass


Most of the greatest games of all time have been released in the last 10 years:


Bioshock
Batman: Arkham City
GTA 5
God of War 3
Gears of War 2
Far Cry 3
Mass Effect Series
Last of Us
Uncharted Series
Heavy Rain
Deadspace 2
Bloodborne

u fuked up tht list so hard its not even funy lmao

[Aahl]

tbh the Halo series died after 3

reaches story mode was still goat .

[DaCougarMech]

because publishers know they can hype a game with lies, pay for reviews, sh*t out a broken game, claim that patches and dlc will fix everything, wait a month for all the 12 year old sheep to buy the game, then close down the studio and start the cycle again

as long as people pay for broken games, they'll keep making broken games

[soggly]

Not sure if srs itt, some amazing games have come out in the past few years along with crap ones but that isn't something that's new

[AnotherEcto]

Oh sorry, didn't notice you there:







Halo games are still killing it. Amazing soundtrack, campaign is basically a movie now, multiplayer is debatable but Halo 5 beta was the first time halo has been genuinely fun for me every single time I pick up the controller since Halo 3.
In the beginning of Halo 2, the duality between the Arbiter and the Master Chief is forever burned into my memory.

Also the Arkham games are amazing.

I didn't know those were coming out.

[ipjuicy]

killingfloor 2

[boutTreefiddy]

video games died for me when halo 3 came out.. fuk that game. ruined everything for me. Halo 2 multiplayer and campaign was awesome. could play either all day long

GTA 5 was decent. Guess im just getting bored with games in general. Sold it after a month of playing

[RogerShah]

cant tell if trolling or thick skulled retard. either way im out. stay strong brah.

I'm saying the same about you


I've been gaming since 1998 dude. I'm just not delusional about the past. There were plenty of **** games back in the day too

[Caxoo]

People who complain gaming is dead probably just picked up the latest COD and based everything off that.

New COD is actually ridiculous fun and pretty innovative

[AleksandreGE]

What about the BioShock series? Or The Last of Us?

I recommend BioShock Infinite to everybody!

[nzgs]

no they haven't, you're just a dumbass

Deadspace 2
Bloodborne

All of those are either inferior sequels or based on engines made from way better games. Feels like the current generation of gamers have really missed out on the golden age about 10-15 years ago (half-life, counterstrike pre 1.4, quake, original GTA, warcraft 3, starcraft )

[RaptorDisaster]

Cracked did a good article on this. I think they made a really good point that the people actually in charge of game development that make the creative decisions are the executives that probably don't even play video games, instead of the developers who know what people want in a game.

Because its all about the profit. Triple A games have been guilty of massive hype, then total letdown upon release because of

-lack of content/finishing touches therefore less work done = more profit
-cutting content to later put into a paid DLC


simple as that. Dragon Age inquisition was a great game this year though!!! tons of content

[Growbag]

completed divinity origional sin recently that was really good.

gonna keep an eye on witcher 3 see how that fairs in the reviews. looks good from the clips i have seen. i may need to invest in some upgrades to play it though.

[The_Zodiac]

I wouldn't say they're now totally sh*tty. It's just been a pretty dry year and a half or so. There's plenty of promising games due to come out within the next 2 years.

[eglionz]

Dying Light hnnnng

[Peet36]

[Growbag]

you need to get on the wii u master race

smash bros
