recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

This will be an extremely hot take for some: Almost all recent online games are complete garbage that solely exist to make profit and create addicted user bases and they hurt what videogames truly are, a revolutionary and interactive form of art.

This is why I can basically only play old games or indies. Games shouldn't feel like work or require me to pay tons of money. I play games to have fun, which I guess is a radical idea now.

I also mainly just post old games and indies, too. Modern games for the most part are pretty garbage due to the way they are designed to take all your money.

I have liked a lot of indies lately as well, but the have been a ton of good AAA games recently, for me at least. Elden Ring, TotK, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnarok, to name a few.

That is fair, besides the star wars one, I am generally interested. i think at the moment, I am most interested in elden ring. I'll have to see how it runs on my hardware. I guess it will run well enough.

Potentially worded a bit abrasively but...kinda yeah. They rely so heavily on fomo, gacha, and other skinner box tricks to keep you playing other than FUN. Just remember what happened to Titanfall 2: "ohhh it was SO FUN it just didn't have the events and grinding and stuff I wanted >:( "

How dare they keep the chores out of my fun videogame. Now how am I going to press my dopamine button?!? Huh?!? Think it's just gonna happen cause I grapple 180 no scoped a guy with a kraber???

I need checklists! Grind! If the game isn't a part time job I can't even conceptualize it being fun!

not just an online game problem for quite a few years now
