People come up with the wildest stuff to avoid admitting capitalism is making things worse.
Most peoples complaints about modern gaming boil down to them being rushed to make investors happy and being too expensive. The problem is the same enshittification that happens to every industry once it gets popular and exploitable.
Also there are lots of great modern games, you just have to look in the indie section now.
EDIT: just realised this is from 2003 lmao wtf
Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Burnout 3 and Trails in the Sky all came out in 2004, so lol.
All of these are sequels in a series.
Shut it down.
Trails in the Sky a sequel? I guess you can technically say it’s the sixth Legend of Heroes game if you’re the kind of nerd who knows about that (which I am), but it has nothing to do with the previous ones and is the start of its own series.
Video games died by suicide in 2003. Time for us all to accept this.
RIP imma go back to hallucinating Baldurs Gate 3
In the aftermath, we’ve just been replaying the same games with different numbers tacked onto them as we self-punish ourselves in a ludo-purgatory realm, seemingly for an eternity. Unwilling to accept this truth.
Kojima tried to tell us.

20 years of death throes sounds horrible
RIP Squaresoft
midlife crisis
2003

if that was the halfway point i guess gaming is just fully dead now

Or worse, it’s become like kissinger and keeps going at an unnaturally long sge
This is a reasonable reaction to reviewing DMC2
well… yes. just realized that after watching the video game awards and having 0 positive reaction to anything they’ve announced is coming. i guess i’m done with games?
who gives a shit what the advertising expo does
If none of the stuff they’re advertising interest you then you might not be into what they’re selling
I didn’t watch it for the same reason I don’t care about The Oscars.
It’s a show for shareholders, not people.
Podracing though
no the made the ship design woke now, they aren’t even podracers anymore
You will not race in the pod, you will not eat the bugs.
I must’ve played like 3 games made after like 2015, mainly because I haven’t been able to afford a console or a pc that can run them, also because new releases don’t really excite me. That doesn’t mean I don’t play games anymore, I just play old games.
It’s also so silly at its face when you replace games with something else. “I read the reviews for the Hugo award winners this year and none of them excite me, guess I’m done with fiction?”
