Why do we all agree old games=good then?

nostalgia

Except they aren't. It's just like the other user said, Way of the Samurai will be infinitely better than ghosts of horoshima or whatever. Modern games are just such a massive disappointment.

You can find PLENTY of old dogshit platformers of the 3d kind in the PS2/PS1/Atari eras, it's just largely forgotten.
You remember Anton Karas' 'The Third Man Theme' it was the number one hit in 1950 for 11 straight weeks? Or the original original the Thing From Another World?

Modern games are great, you're just a shitposting doomer faggot.

Huge budgets, massive studios, no one taking risks on things, focus on establishing franchises, market group executives making decisions. I could go on and on.

The best time for gaming was when it was small studios working on passion projects because it was something they thought people would enjoy. The reason the PS2 was so great is it had the largest amount of first and third party developers compared to all other systems and it was the last era games could be made on a budget that wasn’t comparable to a Hollywood movie.

Because of ESL retards like you

True, what a fucking nightmare. Can we go back or is it too late now?

>ESL retards
Aren't we cute thought? :3

This, getting kinda tired of the "we hate everything" culture here. Why is everyone so fucking jaded nowadays?

Mobiles + loot boxes + cheap work = money
Hard work + something interesting = maybe money

so companies go for the sure money

Not everything, just shitty modern games.

start playing indie

capitalism

Indie games are very often unbalanced, uncompleted and have very boring visuals.

Games used to be ambitious, taking risks. Now that its a multi-billion dollar business, AAA games that were supposed to lead the charge of innovstion, play it safe
Unironically, if you want to relive the gden age of gaming, get VR. There are no standards in VR, so every game is unique and tried something new and alot of them dont afraid to take risks

People are depressed and they are also too dumb to realize they are depressed so they do nothing about it.
Internet being poisoned by layers upon layers of irony doesn't help either.

nah

tried this one. boring. gave up on the shitty stealth section.

It's not a game design problem. It is a monitization problem. There is a reason the indie space is full of games that push their respective genres forward and AAA development is stagnating. AAA game design is about making the most money possible, not creating the best game you can. The games industry realized long ago that psychology conditioning the player into purchasing thousands of dollars of microtransactions is the most reliable way to generate as much income as humanly possible. There is no reason for these large devs to innovate in any way shape or form when a paycheck is gaurenteed. Suggesting that a company risking millions of dollars to develop a good game that may not sell anyway gets you laughed out of boardroom meetings in 2020. The "old game bad" meme combined with every new release being a massive time sink stops young folks from trying older and objectively better designed games as well, keeping them from developing the ability to even tell what a good game is like in the first place.

>endless pixelshit

>better gameplay
lol

there's no such thing as more than one layer of irony.
"layers of irony" is just ironyfags coping by trying to sound smarter than they really are.

i'm sorry for your taste

you're a bad comedian

more soulful than any movie game on console

every game is an AAA multiplayer or gatchashit

Games haven't regressed, you're just depressed irl and you weren't during the ps2 era.

Still can't be compared to PS2 era games made by studios of a reasonable size.

that is not entirely true.

Aside from graphical improvements everything else kinda regressed a bit.

Games became more streamlined ever since the ps3 gen with publishers taking less risk fue to the rise of development and marketing costs. Now they now implement a ton of shitty practices such as forced matchmaking, lootboxes, microtransactions, DLC and etc. Which is why a lot of mainstream games feel samey and shittier.

However there are still good games being release today, they are just a tad harder to find. If you dislike how this gen is going just play / emulate some games from previous gens, there are games to last an eternity already. I for example am getting a nintendo 64 and a gamecube since i missed out on those during my childhood and teenage years.

I am sure you will find something to play eventually.
