Jesus it's like you spend all day on 4chan bitching

it took a while but after so many letdowns i have had the hope of good games beaten out of me. i suppose i was just being hopeful than most. mass effect 3 to Andromeda really took it all away.

Though the earlier you started, the earlier you noticed. Say for example system shock. I started off with bioshock and thought it was good. Then came infinite and it was shit. But going back to playing ss and ss2, the dumbing down was started in 2.

>>389853703

oh and by 2 i mean bioshock in general. The game had a good atmosphere but the gameplay was inferior to previous versions.

It's been about 10 since the free fall started.

>>389853331
The hype has been gone for me for years. I'll buy maybe 2-3 full priced games on release, but usually after I get a gauge on them from word of mouth. I think a large part of this is because I haven't read a review for like five years. Without """journalists""" shilling and hyping for clicks it's much easier to be objective and see shit for what it is. Honestly, I';m surprised as many people get kerflunked as they do, because you'd have to be underage or just retarded to not know your own video game tastes by now.

Nah it's just you grew out of Video games. Get a different hobby old man.

Nier Automata killed whatever joy and excitement I had for upcoming games and every "new" game I bought lately year were all disappointments that I feel like my money ought to have gone to something else.

In the mean time, finding unexpected gems is the best feeling ever. Darkest Dungeon has probably given me more of my moneys worth than all games I bought this year.

>was hyped for 8 games this year
>all of them met my expectations and I enjoyed them greatly
This year saved video games for me.

Try 20

recently released games that were fun:

mario xcom
persona 5
yakuza 0
arms

these all came out extremely recently and are fun. stop being a fag opie

>>389853331
Bannerlord isnt out yet, and is the only game im ready for. bannerlord was announced about 5 years ago, so it makes sense.

>>389855167
>20

TRY A MIIILLIIIOOOOOOOOOOONNN HAHAHAHAH LOLOLOL

>>389855298

The good thing about Bannerlord is that it's basically M&B 1.5, which people already love, and I fail to see how they could fuck it up.

If things are bad, are you doing anything to try and improve them?

>>389855930
Not him but I'm not buying Destiny 2 if that helps. Everyone keeps asking me why I'm not getting it.

I enjoyed Mankind Divided.
Wasn't as good as human revolution imo but the final mission was pretty tense.

haven't played it yet im glad its fun anon

Good, the combat is already top notch, and everything else is a bonus, given how they dont really have backers pushing them into a quick release, they can spend the time they want on it to finish it up, but then again, it could be 22 years before that happens.

>>389856460
Bannerlord and Guild 3 are my reasons to live right now

>>389856805
This, my outlook on future games is "tentatively looking forward to them." I can't get truly excited about anything anymore. Haven't since I was a kid.

I literally only get excited for Smash games now. Everything else is cautiously optimistic.

>>389856805

This. I miss being naive and impressionable.

Now I'm always ever suspicious of things and it's way too much easier to find flaws that detract me from enjoying things as they are. This is why I often times enjoy "bad" entertainment because there's no defending how bad they are.

>tfw as a kid getting one game would be a big deal, spend weeks to months playing a new game and having loads of fun
>as a adult, have more money and/or more knowledge on where to pirate them, games don't feel as special

>>389856805
I feel that too. I can buy a game I've been waiting years for and just let it sit around for weeks without getting to it.

>>389857320
>buy games
>never have time to finish them

It's pretty eh to me. I still miss the late 90s-early 2000s. Those days were magical.

>>389853331
dunno this year was good enough for me: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard(good), Hitman (great), Horizon: Zero Dawn(nice but repetive game play, femenist agenda and meh plot but I still enjoy it), Prey (greate game, meh ending).

They change some stuff up. I mostly get excited for the roster the most. People say the same about most other fighters too though.

Stop playing AAA games. So yeah, I agree. STOP.

Neck yourselves unironically you miserable sacks of shit. Gaming is still good if you don't exclusively consume western AAA garbage. Go blog about your depression elsewhere.

Projecting much?

>>389861856

No, even Jap gaming sucks ass. Where's my DMC3 or RE4? Or Silent Hill 3?

Modern Japanese gaming is nothing but otaku pandering these days.
