The Golden Age of AAA-games is over
Now it's all about "mobile", "games as a service", "half-assed games with crucial assets being sold as DLCs", all while modding for the overwhelming majority of the titles is pretty much dead
Just compare the size of the modding community between "Battlefield 2", launched back in 2005, with any other interaction of the Battlefield series that came after it, for example

There isn't anymore competition or drive to make good games anymore.
It is now about keeping the player engaged as long as possible, not satisfying him.
It will keep getting worse until gamers stop buying this trash.
Indie games can still be good, but they are limited by small budgets and are unable to create 3d games beyond ps2 level graphics.
[–]CeleritySteam12 points13 points14 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The indie games are doing it as well. It doesn't help 95% of indie devs are SJW so they can't design worth a fuck. Especially the games as service and dragging out the game much longer than necessary.

I noticed that. I've had more fun with indies than any recent AAA titles i got recently.

This is one of the signs I'm an old bastard now. I play the same games from the 90s and early 2000s, I watch the same movies and tv shows in the background over and over.
Gonna keep doing this for 20 to 40 more years until I die.

Warcraft 3 custom games scene is still going. You can make a map, give it a good description and upload it to some website like hiveworkshop and people will tell you how to improve your map, and over time you can update your maps too. Cool stuff. Plus, importing custom models into your game is always fun, especially when it's your own custom game that you're making. There is so much freedom in the warcraft 3 editor, you just need creativity. That's why when I'm bored, I always try to work on something to get my creative juices flowing.

There are some good AAA games out. assassins creed odyssey, RDR2 and hitman 2 are all amazing. There is alot of shit though
[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Odyssey is literally what's wrong with games these days, overly grindy but guess what? You can pay for booster packs and lootboxes, Red Dead online is going to be fucked with Microtransactions and Hitman 2 is a online only 5 hour glorified 60 dollar expansion for Hitman 1 and ain't even close to the game that Blood Money was.

God of war, Spiderman 2018, dragon Ball fighterz, Detroit become human, and monster Hunter world are incredible games that came out this year as well.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
I really enjoyed Spiderman, haven't played Monster Hunter and Detroit ain't my type of game, I think God of War is overrated as fuck, not only that but I absolutely hate how people were down playing the old games story (mostly the developers themselves) just to sit here and act like Kratos is just now being fleshed out as a character.
Like all he was before was just a cold hearted killing machine and he was but his character was much much deeper than that, we can't sit and now all of a sudden act like the old games didn't have great narratives. They're the reason the new one is received well to begin with.
I can't help but get a SJW vibe from the developers of this game, it's almost like they were ashamed of the older games because of their brutal nature, I get the impression the people who down played the older ones story actually never played them.
Edit: lol at downvotes because how dare I not like overhyped God of War, grow up.
[–]TT_BG0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Fair enough if you think it's over hyped, but I honestly don't see it at all the game has great character development for both atreus, and kratos. Yes the previous installments were amazing story wise, but he truly was just killing people left and right almost savage-like, kratos himself even comments that himself in the game.
This new story is about his redemption, patience, and remorse, something kratos never displayed in past games (or at least not in the same quantity). Don't really understand how it gave you an SJW vibe, the game was pretty gruesome, they had both kratos and atreus ripping people's heads off after all.
And to be fair Kratos does show massive development in this game comparatively to his previous iterations, but I suppose that's due to guiding his son to be someone better then himself (I also played all the kratos games before).

They don't even hold a candlelight to even mediocre AAA games from years ago
For example, Dragon Age:Origins is a masterpiece, even though its content was chopped by a lot of DLCs, while Dragon Age 3: Inquisition just tries to have a lot of fillers and grinding to make it up for its awful narrative and characters
[–]NaughtyFred0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Time to raid the back catalogue of game produced before a certain year, what do you suggest we say....2015?
[–]JayJayEcks29 points30 points31 points 7 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link
Government not rich people fuck up society.
Millennials are complaining about student loans, but they also pay taxes so that k-12 students can go to school. Why is it that one gets paid via taxation, but another is not? As a guy with no children and unmarried, I get hosed by the tax system paying for other people's children.
It's not rich people the fault, always, lies with government.
[–]JKMonk9721 points22 points23 points 7 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
Minimizing our tax burden should be #1 priorty in MGTOW. The societal apparatus can't survive nor operate without extorting our resources.
[–]waterfat6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Many of me, me included, are the disposable males that are childless. Not enough clan or tribal or national wars to grind enough of us back into the dirt. Now globally there are millions if not 10s of millions of herbivore men everywhere.
With our lack of children and us still bring alive and the vast majority working and adding to the tax base you'd figure governments would have plenty of operating cash. But the bureaucracy must be fed constantly.
[–]Darth_Bicycle1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
We need more bureaucracy to deal with the increase of bureaucracy.
[–]HeyDontDoxMe3 points4 points5 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
And what happens to us in return?
We get shamed, ridiculed, and slandered by women, government, and society..
[–]asustime 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
how does one achieve that ? fresh ideas? tax dodgers get targeted by the gobbiment.
[–]TheLastMgtow8 points9 points10 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Its very simple.
Only buy black plain clothes. Eat whole foods. Avoid spending any money on anything. Dont buy.
Work only the necessary. Dont consume. Focus on a sport or physical exercise, remove any activities that give validation to society or women.
If enough men do this. The system is fucked regardless.
[–]asustime 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
already well on that route. i live on less than 8000 usd a year in the usa.
[–]NaughtyFred2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Well in the UK there's a difference between "tax evasion" and "tax avoision". They both have the same effect but the latter is legal.
[–]asustime 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
explain? bit more in detail?
[–]NaughtyFred2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Basically tax avoision is exploiting every loophole in government tax legislation in order to legally pay as little tax as possible.
[–]asustime 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
why have to learn to decipher (laws) made up by the feminazi and the jews?
[–]NaughtyFred0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Because you want more money in your bank account. Anyway it's generally used by people who have enough money to hire a lawyer versed in tax laws and an accountant. If you have the means (I don't) I'd do it, everyone else at that level does.
[–]asustime 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
why have to pay those (lawyer) and (accountant) in the first place. what need is they to know my money business? what need is anyone outside of me to know about my money business?

I use to be a big time gamer. I've given it the back seat. New releases are trash, and I'll always love my classic favorites that I played more than any other game but it's time to move on.
Bethesda really fucked up with 76. It's absolutely insane how they haven't come out with a new TES game.
Morrowind - 2002
Oblivion - 2006
Skyrim - 2011
New Game - ????
It's going to be 2019 in less than two months. EIGHT YEARS , almost a decade, since a true TES release. Skyrim was a huge hit with the casual gamer too. If they would have had a game that came out by 2016 I think a lot of people would have jumped on it following the success of Skyrim. Now all the gamers who loved Skyrim probably aren't even gamers anymore, which means you have to appeal to an entirely new market which means.... DUN DUN DUN.... you actually have to create a good game. It can't be trash like 76 and hope your name brand is more hype than your actual game.
rant over.

I thimk they mentioned in an interview that they didn't wanted to be a company who goes from fallout to TES to fallout and such
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Damn... and they picked F4 and 76 over a new TES.
I honestly enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas WAYYYY more than F4. Something about F4 didn't sit well with me and I think it had to do with feeling bottle-necked in the story-line rather than the feeling of an open world where I could go off and discover many things while still making progress which was much easier in F3 and Vegas.
So with what you said in mind, Bethesda has been on the down swing for a quite a while now then it seems.

Its just that the pestilence of feminism has metastasized into the game industry even ea has battlefield v's main character as a female and also doesnt want it historically accurate😆
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yea I'm not a big fan of those tactics either. Primarily with what happened with a Total War Dev saying 'just mod it out'. Games we're drawn to because of its history are being distorted to appeal to the all expansive empire of nothing that tries to appeal to everyone and everything... which renders everything mundane and lacking any significant meaning.
[–]FollowingMyOwnPath6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I haven't enjoyed gaming since PS1. We've basically reached the death of the single player game. I hated PS2 because everything was trying to be cinematic and gritty with a dark color scheme, no color, no fun. The only reason PS2 has anything worth playing on it is because it had over a thousand games. Now Sony is abandoning PS4 before the fucking thing even has a worthwhile library (imho). The consumer is always getting nickled and dimed and I'm tired of it.

Nintendo still makes fun, whimsical games.

So everything the first post is complaining about involves other people. Person can't seem to take a hint.
