I love video games.

To the point that I feel sorry for people who don't appreciate/don't understand its wholesomeness. Obviously any form of artistic expression can bring you joy and inspiration but games are on another fucking level when it comes to creativity.

With the games like Cyberpunk, Returnal, Alan Wake 2, I do fell positive about this medium but still feel a bit anxious about the future. Will it be filled with generic half baked titles on the subscription services or FPS "same all same all" GaaS games?
What do you think?

Congrats, you're one of the few on this forum that actually do. Welcome to the club!

There's more to gaming than big budget titles you've listed. You should expand.

[Badlucktroll]

Me too been my main form of entertainment my whole life

 

[Xtib81]

I used to love them more. I have become way more strict to the point that I rarely enjoy games now. I didn't even bother finishing Spider man 2 and can't get into Mirage nor Phantom liberty. I feel like games have stagnated for a good decade.

Yes.

I'm sad for the games I will miss after I die.

 

[64bitmodels]

Yes.

I'm sad for the games I will miss after I die.

I'm aware I will never see full dive VR Dark Souls in my lifetime and it makes me furiously punch the wall.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Me too, OP. Look at my gaming skills.

Returnal wasn't big budget though.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Returnal wasn't big budget though.

Oh, yeah, you got me. Enjoy it then.

nah it's more like 1/3 of the userbase. The other 2 thirds either console war or are graphics whores only in it for the visuals. Not that it's a bad thing of course, it's quite entertaining.

That's what they call a multiplatform game.

Unfortunately I can’t disagree.

NeoGAF. We have people like you and me who are awesome, and we have everyone else who is sad about their tiny pepe.

Pretty much this.
Games like Sea of Stars, Ion Fury are amazing.
I also love video games, but not a fan of some type of games.

Videogames are fucking sweet man. Been my main hobby since the mid 90s

You haven't played enough. Do it more and you'll gonna see the ugly cracks, the true face of reality. And then you gonna get sad and grumpy and gonna demand better things, because your thresholds are already too high. You've read many books, played everything that matters, and see that the general populace are at best bottom feeding pigs, they kiss your feet if you throw some coins in exchange for praise, and they laud you whatever shit you throw at them, until it's properly packaged .

I love them too but they are starting to fall a bit by the wayside for music production. Life gets so much better when you start producing instead of just consuming all the time.

Though, since i got my Steam Deck I've been plying more than every so I'd say i'm not stopping anytime soon.

Last year was my 10th year anniversary of even getting started with the medium(first with Flash games then with Xbox 360). I feel like people should celebrate more when they get into video games, that is the moment that changes their life forever afterall

Of course I don't play every game/watch every film/read every book.
I'm being selective, you aren't?

chess is cool, but chess with graphics? now THAT's the shit.

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Wide parts of the industry I've come to loathe at varying levels, but specific development studios/teams, developers/artists, composers and finally games I still love and continue to bring me as much joy as ever before. All I need is 3-5 very good games a year and I'm happy. 2024 will rock.

I love old school Hey Ash

I miss when even she was able to make jokes like this. It would be way too offensive for her now, and I'm shocked they never took it down.

Jesus man, do not put any more points on dick size. +1 on attention next time

Don't worry, quite a few people don't hit 52. I sure haven't myself. The thread is more of an incentive to go and play/enjoy games and give your impressions, rather than using that time negatively to complain about them. If you're an RPG-type the task becomes way more difficult anyway.

What? Games are art form, not playing them. Is watching a film art form too?

[ResurrectedContrarian]

I love gaming when it's a pure creative effort on the part of the devs, who are ideally friends or bros and who spontaneously are driven to create something great, working around the clock, pushing themselves to do something amazing, or just generally doing exactly what they want with zero outside influence, censorship, or control placed on them (eg. the way countless games were once made, from classic Doom to Zelda to much more).

I hate gaming as a corporate industry, where most of the work is done by rank-and-file staffed positions who consider it just a job, who pump out a million models or environments or bad dialog like a production line. At the corporate level, it's a cynical and horrible thing all the way down.
