Not just gone, they were literally pushed out. Watch some interviews with old devs of formerly great projects that went to shit. Its fucking sad man. Everything circles around microtransactions, dlc, lootboxes, etc, and yearly sequels means there's no real time to do anything but rehash the same old shit, and every game is released unfinished.

Making a good game now comes secondary to making something that just amounts to digital crack designed to trigger endorphins with every micro-transaction.

Games are turning shit to the demographic that browses here, sure. But isn't that just us getting older and games getting kinda stale just from age? Granted, there's not a lot of innovation and it's all AAA bullshit these days.

I am assuming people in their mid to late twenties and beyond browse here. I haven't played game since 2015 and indeed 2007 seemed to have been the peak of gaming. Only e-sports has some interesting developments going on that I can see.

With that said, is gaming still a bad INVESTMENT?

look, witcher and los1 are okay games for what they are. los1 is probably much more unique and better developed for its time when compared to witcher3. what annoys me is the lack of interactivity or features already existing in older, less polished games. when you have a giant budget and team of devs, it would be nice to look at classics and add or further develop these features. some games do to a small degree but others like skyrim just add pretty much nothing and fuck up existing features. yes the game can still be enjoyable but it could have been much much better obviously. you still haveindie devs that are creating new interesting games which build upon 'classic' features, which is good i guess.

that’s fair, and I’d imagine a lot of the team devs want more robust, immersive, gameplay - but the kind of timelines that would be required to realize those ambitions would be unrealistic to keep the AAA studios afloat. Between working with rapidly-developing software (OS, game engines, etc.), and meeting commercial expectations, it’s probably crazy to work in the industry and create something as expansive and multi-dimensional for current-gen performance expectations as it was when only nerds played and made vg. If I ever make billions, I’d love to create an independent studio that would focus all of its energy into one long-term project. Have well-paid 400-lb neckbearded DnD-playing, unshowered, wizards with passion make something truly beautiful. Something set in Renaissance-era Europe.

It has the biggest explorable open world and some of the most complex game mechanics out there
Literally infinite possibilities
The complexity of this game rivals even Dwarf Fortress
Be warned though, it can be hard as fuck on some playstyles, and there is permadeath
But to me, that's the beauty of it, it just makes the gameplay more meaningful
And you can play on the easy modes if you want, you just won't get as much xp as somne of the more developer-intended routes

I found it to be too easy, only the SFM porn of the girls made me stick around longer than I originally planned before ultimately dropping the game. I liked quake hampions more

But even then modern matchmaking sucks nowadays which is my main concern with multiplayer titles, hence why I mostly named singleplayer games in my list. I also forgot to mention the splatoon games, they are unironically fun to play and have quite some depth for a TPS aimed at children

The only good games you listed are MGR, DMC5, and SMT4 (which is good but not great)
And VLR??? Really? 999% of vns are better than that steaming pile of shit

A good game once in a while is not bad
Just like anything "once in a while" is never that bad
Grown men making it their main concern as is much more prevalent now is bad though, and obviously unhealthy and immature
I will probably play minecraft until I die, and before (as well as after) you have children you do have a fair bit of freetime, but once you're bearing the weight of society on your shoulders, during your prime you often simply don't have time to engage in a fantasy world that doesn't materially get you anywhere anyway
Imagine like having a kid and being on the computer not paying attention to them on your time off work, unless you're playing with them that is

The only good games you've played, I'm ready to bet. Obra Dinn will make you think and Ghost Trick is unironically one of the best stories I've ever seen
>And VLR??? Really? 999% of VNs are better than that steaming pile of shit
Saw what you did there but OP mentioned videogames. VLR is kinda in-between so it was the first thing that came to mind along with Danganronpa titles I liked and also forgot to mention even though they're closer to being VNs and yes VLR was a step down from 999 and is pale in comparison to mystery focused novels like Kara no Shojo or Umineko despite the memes and the fanbase that became filled with wrestling faggots

I'll be completely honest, I love the Witcher III, but the main reason is because I really like the books and the setting, and I enjoyed playing what was essentially Witcher fan fiction.
Everything else on your list is mediocre or bad, and even if you named 10 great games, it would still be cherry picking.
Fuck you.

Just naming big games from big studios, which I think are exceptional, to make a point. They’re objectively well-made games, and in more than just one way. My top games look a lot different desu. You can’t tell me with a straight face that the vast majority of games pre-2010 weren’t steaming piles of shit... we have more variety and quality than ever before despite the huge amount of garbage.
