True

Do what i do
Run game servers instead
Youll get a community of friends and you'll take interest in games because you want to socialise more than play a story

You're just playing the wrong games. Either that or you need to take a break from gaming all together for a while

The gaming landscape has changed but it's also likely that you've changed as well

you probably don't have 40+ hours a week to raid BRD like you used to, those same games are less populous so the experience even of classic games is now no longer the same, graphics are different but probably most importantly the way that games are run and monetized is very different now.

We used to get a game that released, was fully contained on a cd with maybe minor patches, but you got the whole game, for a set price, no micro-transactions and you could play that game as long as you want, for years even, no subscription fee (unless it was wow), no pay to win, no exclusive event skins, no upkeep, no anything. The whole game was that cd and you could burn it and pirate it if you wanted.

Contrast that to a modern game like destiny 2. There's a sticker price, that gets you the base game (which is now free but was $60 on release), they want you to buy a season pass and a collector's edition, do daily quests, buy ingame currency for cosmetics, and most significantly there are a series of expansions that came on rather rapidly (I think within a span of like 3 months or less?) that really should have been a part of the base game, as the campaign was very short, had little endgame content, and was basically a shell to build upon, for more money.

If you wanted the full Destiny 2 experience, every piece of content in the game from start to finish and you bought it all as it was released, every expansion, skin and loot box item, I think you'd pay something upwards of $2-3k, which is totally absurd.

Contrast that to the value of old blizzard games, where a cd of starcraft cost you like $60 (or less) one time purchase, and got you literally thousands of hours of engaging play

Modern gaming is tailor designed to separate you from as much money as possible while delivering you the minimum they can for it

What games? Are servers expensive to host?

Chio is so perfect.

I was having fun yesterday, so.....

What sort of fun were you having?

I'm not the same user but I love this game called satisfactory, you build things on an alien planet. It's kind of like 3d factorio, or if you crossed minecraft with no man's sky

Minecraft is also still fun if you haven't played it, but Satisfactory I cannot recommend highly enough it's very fun

No, you are not fun anymore

Dont leave us hanging, did you finally see some sunlight?

Satisfactory is just Factorio but way, way worse.

I went back to playing maplestory on a private server
Fuck my life
Gonna buy wc3 reforged though probably live in there for the next few years

WC3 is a broken shitshow

This

Ya'll niggas need Rimworld in your life

Play hollow knight

agree 10/10 with free dlc and cheap as fuck

I thought it was just another Metroidvania clone?

Yeah plus the game is really good

Better than any clone.

>Metroidvania clone
Metroidvania is a subgenre its a mixture of the names castlevania and super metroid, its like saying I thought it was a platformer clone

Oldfag reporting. While modern AAA titles are mainly 'Press X to win so you can advance to the next cinematic' There are more indie games now than ever. Dig deeper user.
Also, GOG

Steam is better

Can confirm

I wonder who's behind this post...

You're right the epic store is better

Earths flat

Unfinished indie games with lots of mods are a fair bet. Try Starsector for example.

Harsh yet true.
Being a chucklefuck with friends or going solo is the way to play these days.
I hate myself for investing in Modern Warfare.
Now I'm back to metroidvanias and I don't regret it.

Yes

All of them?

Wc3 was dope. The new one is broken? By whose standards?

It's just really buggy

Did you read that somewhere or experience it yourself?

You can become insensitive to the brain chemicals that let you enjoy games. What you do is take a 6 month break from vidya, avoid having fun during that time. This includes being actively engaged in social media. Read books, or engage in /tg/ style entertainment, its a low key way to spend time without producing the intense burst of dopamine that video game addiction produces.

And when you come back to games, its definitely more enjoyable.

Darkest dungeon is really fun or in the least it kills time

No they just need to stop playing shitty ea games filled with lootbox's and microtransactions and season passes with no actual game

Of course I read it somewhere. Why would I try to verify anything I've read on the internet?

Lootboxes are one of the worst culprits when it comes to insensitively. So in way you are right

>In a way
No im completely right fuck microtransactions fuck lootbox's fuck season passes and if its a free to play game its still retarded thats just a gay excuse for why they need the money they should just put a price tag on their games and throw in game purchases into a black hole

Satan has spoken, and thus it is so

Try gothic 2 with mods

I think it's just the industry. It's become all about cash and nothing else, at least in the AAA sphere. Give it time, they'll see that creative freedom is better than soulless corporate factories. It might take a few years, but things will get better.

Thank you satan
