I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's tim...
Obsidian should take over the FO IP. They're do far better with it than Bethesda who hasn't made a great game for almost 15 years
I genuinely believe it's mismanagement. Why are we seeing an influx of one person or games with a team no bigger than 10 create whole games with little to no budget? Unreal Engine 5 and I'm sure many other engines have plugins that have streamlined to many things you would have had to create and code back in the day.
For instance, before the cull, there were 3000 Devs working on COD alone. I'm a COD player but let's be real, there's been no innovation s...
@Thesoftware. No people people have disliked Bethesda way before MS. Ever since Fallout 3 they've released buggy, broken, graphically dates, poorly animated, terribly voice acted games. The difference is the scale of the game when FO3 dropped was still fresh. In 2024, games standards have risen and people won't give Bethesda a free pass whilst the rest of the industry has got betterans in many ways surpassed them.
As times gone on, the COD battle pass has got ALOT worse so they can push people to buy the more premium battle pass which itself is a huge rip off and nearly half the price of the base game.
The cosmetics can be fine but they've taken it to far to the point of no return. Why make a military themed game then have rabbits, dinosaurs, cats, rats & z list rappers as skins? You wouldn't add a Lamborghini to a fantasy RPG to replace a horse and you would never see Ma...
ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game
How are people all of a sudden praising this game based on Massives and Ubisofts track records? You can seemingly sell people any old trash if it has the Star Wars name attached it seems 🙃
The reality is Xbox only fanboys can't comment on anything without mentioning PS. You're always so butt hurt about everything. Just play games no matter the console 🙃
Yet people will sit here and still say that digital is better 🙃
Hopefully they've fixed the awful look/aim feeling ok the analogue sticks that all Bethesda games are plagued with. Probably not as it's Bethesda but I can hope
As someone who plays Warzone quite a bit, I'd say Acti are worse than EA in today's landscape. EA has been unusually quiet lately on the controversy front.
@Billy, it's widely regarded as a boring game. It's a rich and beautiful open world but the gameplay is chore to play.
They haven't. They made RDR2 look fun in the trailers though, something that it was not.
I don't agree with the woke comment but I think people are expecting this to revolutionise gaming and it won't. It will do what it does best at its absolute best but people are expecting a monumental change/shift for the industry but that won't happen but it doesn't need to and that's fine.
Ah Thrill Kill, the game that was banned/cancelled but everyone had played 😂 what a throwback!
Hopefully just more of a focus on games in general. 4 years in I'm still waiting for something to wow me like Ratchet and Clank and Returnal.
I'm bored because it's the same thing over and over. The game has to little variation. A colour pallet swap and a slight change in weather is not content lol
I haven't played since launch as I got bored after 3 hours because of the lack of mission variation and seeing the same handful of structures littered across planets with a different colourway. Has it changed quite a bit now or still the same as launch minus the weapon nerfs etc?
This is how I feel about every open world game from the last 5 years. They're all the same. Camp clear out, fetch quests, identical skill trees, collectables.... It's all just become very Samey. Ubisoft gets the flack whilst most of the industry does the exact same as them. Open world games need a complete redo in structure
What Devs are able to achieve with a set spec sheet is way more impressive than a £3000 computer using brute force to run a game at high frames and are only getting them super high frames thanks to frame generation because it's easier than optimising and still there's PC ports which are inferior to the co sole counterpart.... Elitist PC snobbery never fails to make anyone not look like a tw*t. Do better.
