they just dont make em like they used to. the new game from studio x is a soulless, buggy mess. where's the passion and attention to detail we used to see?

Are you still playing on a console from the 90s or something? The new game is a beast on my PS5

fr, they really dropped the ball on this one. used to be able to count on em but now it's just a

yeah, i feel that and the new game from studio x is a real let down. they used to put out such solid. Polished stuff. guess the passion just ain't there anymore. kinda makes you miss the old days, ya know?

idk what game you're playing but i'm 10 hours in and it's been smooth sailing for me.

just went to a studio x fan's backyard and there was a crate of actual souls with 'recycled from old games' labels on

Sounds like you didn't actually play the game. Sure, it may have some issues, but the team clearly put a ton of work into it.

yeah just what i want in my video games - massagers for my vanishing expectations.

lol the passion and attention to detail are still there, just on the dlc and season pass packs

nah, you're trippin. that new game is fire and you know it. stop hatin and just enjoy the ride, its not that deep.

literally nothing is made like it was 10 years ago, that's just nostalgia talking.

Actually read the interviews and developer diaries from the team, they put their heart and soul into this game and it shows in the storytelling and world design.

what do you know? hte game is great and the devs clearly put their hearts into it. stop being a whiny boomer and just enjoy the damn game.

ya, they really phoned that one in huh? guess the devs were too busy counting their millions to care about making a good game.

What made the old games from Studio X so great, exactly? Was it just nostalgia talking or did they genuinely have something to complain about in the past as well?

preach bro, it's all about the benjamins now. case in point, the dlc for this game was already

ikr? the new game is such a letdown. the devs clearly just phoned it in. feels like they just dont care about quality anymore :/

are ya kidding me? hte new game is a masterpiece, the graphics are insane and the storyline is so much deeper than

dude, studio x has been pumping out the same formulaic garbage for the last decade.

i'm sure it's a coincidence that studio x just started a new marketing campaign with "LEGENDS" plastered everywhere on the cover

you saying that after 5 hours of playtime or did you just watch a youtube vid and assume it's trash

sounds like you're a bit salty about the new game. what made the old stuff so much better in your

Maybe that's what happens when you replace game devs with middle managers who have never actually played a game

yeah maybe they just ran out of that secret sauce of passion and attention to detail...

i'm saying tho, it's not just the games themselves, it's the entire gaming culture thats changed.

have you actually played it or just reading reviews from Reddit?

i feel that fr. the new game is such a letdown, so much potential wasted.

totally agree, it's all about hte $$$ now. and dont even get me started on the predatory microtransactions, feels like they're just milking the franchise for all it's worth

Are you counting on Studio X carrying the torch for passion and attention to detail, or did you just keep buying the same people's stuff year after year?

are you kidding me? the new game from studio x is a freaking masterpiece, it's not about passion or whatever nostalgic bs you're peddling, it's about execution and they nailed it

are you seriously still clinging to the nostalgia for that 10 year old game that everyone used to love?

fr, i used to love studio x's games. this new one just feels so uninspired and half-baked.

glad we agree on something, had the worst framerate of my life trying to play that game.

are you just mad that you have to pay for it now

man, the passion and attention to detail went to therapy to deal with the Crunch-induced trauma

i low key agree with this, the new game from studio x is a fell off from what they used to be

yeah i know what you mean. its just that everyone's obsessed with online multiplayer and live service models now. nobody cares about making a solid single player experience anymore

what were you expecting, lol? they've been churning out the same formula for years and you're surprised it's not ?

yeah, i'm so tired of hte oversimplified, rushed games we get today.

they just dont make em like we pay them to anymore

i know, right? they just dont put the same care and effort into their games anymore. its all about churning them out as fast as possible to make a quick buck.

are you shitting me, what did you expect for a game that was clearly made with a team of overpaid interns and a

you think the devs just stopped caring and or maybe they're overworked and underfunded. how about we give em a chance to fix it instead of just trashing their hard work?

um, when did you last play a game from studio x that was actually good?

You know what's been missing from gaming for decades? People saying "they just don't make 'em like they used to

that's why they're called "games" and not "jobs

Did you expect anything different after they laid off half their dev team last year?

ikr and and it's giving "money grab" too... seems like all the good devs left or were pushed out to make way for

dude, when was the last time you played a game from studio x without paying for it?

I've been playing the new game and it's actually really . Maybe you're just missing the vibe you had with the old games. But i don't think they're any less passionate about creating art.

mate, they're still making em like they used to - buggy as hell and half-finished!

ugh, yes and so true. the devs clearly dont care anymore. its just about rushing out the next cash grab. no wonder the industry is in such a sad state these days.

lol you sound like my grandma complaining about the new iphone

yeah, but how much of that is just nostalgia? every generation thinks the stuff they grew up with was the best.

lol sounds like someone needs to take a chill pill. y'all act like these devs are just cranking out games on an assembly line. it's a pandemic, people.

come on, you're being way too harsh. its a new take on an old formula, it looks fine to me.

fr, the new game is a disappointment. the devs are just phoning it in these days.

that's some real boomer energy. the game is cutting edge and the devs are clearly pouring their heart into it. just because it's not a carbon copy of the old stuff doesn't mean it's soulless. get with the times, grandpa.

no kidding, has studio x ever made a game where the tutorial wasn't longer than the game itself?

idk what you're talking about. the new game is great, you just have rose-tinted goggles. studio x is killing it, stop being such a grumpy old man.

not sure what game you're playing, but i'm having a blast with it. maybe the 'soul' is just evolution to you

so what expectations did you have that weren't met? what made hte old games better in your eyes?

lol you're like 80 years old or something, studio x is doing just fine

idk what game you're playing but the one i've been playing for weeks is fire.

fr, when was the last time they actually put out a good game?

that's not true. i just played it and it's pretty much the same level of detail as their previous titles, just with some new features.

did you really expect a studio owned by a giant corp to care about passion or attention to detail when the bottom line is all that matters?

dude you're just mad because you're too old for games now

idk about you but i'm loving the new game and the devs are already patching most of the major issues calm down

i'm lowkey an old retro gaming fan. And it's really frustrating to see companies cutting corners

totally with you on that, mate. i swear, most of these new devs are just phoning it in for a quick cash grab.

fr tho, the new game is a hot mess. but tbh i don't think the old games were all that either.

did you actually play the whole game or are you just going off the launch day reviews?

they do make em like they used to, in my garage, where the only bugs are in my code and the only detail is trying to get the pizza delivery guy to smile.

dude are you really acting like a multi million dollar studio has the same freedom as some indie dev with a dream?

Name 5 classic games from the good ol' days that weren't initially buggy messes and didn't have massive development teams now. Just curious.

nah, that's bullshit. the new game is fire. sure it's got issues, but all games do these days.

dude, when's the last time you actually paid full price for a game?

are you kidding me? the new game is fire and it's getting complaints just cuz it's not the same

Have you actually put in the time to play through the whole game or are you basing your opinion on a beta test or early reviews?

it's easy to romanticize the past and pretend everything was perfect back then.

did you actually work in the industry during the "good old days" or are you just romanticizing the past?

yup, corporate profit over quality is a major part of it. did you notice how theyre still selling an updated version of a game from 5 years ago for

yeah, and i bet your fave could never lmao. that studio's been milking the same franchise for

just cause the new game isnt perfect doesnt mean the devs dont care. shit takes time and money to make, not everyone has the resources of a triple a studio.

you're just mad because you've played hte same game from 2007 for the last 10 years and you're

ugh same here, that new game from studio x is a total cash grab. at least throw us a bone with some actual gameplay updates before milking

wow really? i thought the new game was great. sure it had some bugs but i was still hooked.

bruh, do you even remember what the old games were actually like or are you just rose-tinting everything?

blame" wait, no... lol cantdoone_word fine: u wrong

dude, passion and attention to detail didn't get me the 20 hour per day plays i got from that last game, quality does

oh yeah? and what exactly are you basing that assessment on? have you actually played the game or are you just parroting what you saw on twitter?

preach. and its not just the games, its the whole damn industry now.

is studio x a nostalgia-obsessed whiner too or do they just have delusions about their own

yep, because the last 5 hours of beta testing weren't just 'character development

fr, the new game is a hot mess. but ya know what, i'm still gonna play the shit out of it.
