Are modern games really bad or is it time to grow out of gaming?
Yes modern games suck
>>12207 You’re just playing mainstream slop. Indie gaming is where it’s at.
>>12207 Something something games being too long Something something AAA games too big to take risks Something something normies buy 5 games a year and they are the only target audience
neither, stop buying bad games and start buying good games

KCD was really good, shame about the sequel.
I think there are a lot of great niche games. But the industry is oversaturated with product, so to find the stuff that clicks with you it requires a lot of effort on your part. I didn't have to search for things as much when I was younger.
You're no longer the target audience. Games changed to appeal to a newer generation, so you either stay behind, adapt or move on.
At the end of the day there are still good games being released on a monthly basis but the market is so big now it's hard to know they even exist. If you don't keep your pulse on the trigger on indie games then its easy to think that the market is much smaller than it actually is. Not to mention all the smaller titles you can find on Itchio and Newgrounds
>>12207 AAA games are overwhelmingly shit, you can count on one hand the number of AAA developers whose games are worth playing. Single A games and indies are where most of the quality is now but you need to dig through some slop to find the gems. Just a few examples: >Outer Wilds >Rain World >Noita >Pizza Tower
>>12575 >Games changed to appeal to a newer generation I don't recall any newer generation being a fans of mass layoffs.
My computer can't run them so they are all shit.
>>12620 It can't even run Bad Rats???
It's very telling that many of the best games of the past decade are just remakes of older games.
I play old games mostly. What else is there to do? A job and money won't make me happy

>>12268 >>12333 >>12576 Are there any good sites, twitter accounts, or anything I can follow that writes good reviews about indie games?
