forums were better than social media. Hands down. at least on a forum you could have a real discussion without algorithms deciding what you get to see

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?

wow, what a shocking surprise, a live service game that wasnt doing well got canned. can't wait to see how star wars eclipse fares with this genius team behind it https://www.reddit.com/user/Turbostrider27

yep, because nothing says "quality gaming experience" like listing off titles from the era of glitchy 3d and 10-hour loading screens

they dont make em like they used to. everything is so soulless and corporate these days. where's the passion, the personality? give me something real, not this generic corporate drivel.

auto-playing videos on websites are the worst

seen the spectacle of single player games getting hyped with endless loops of cinematic trailers. wondering how long till we can just play the dang game https://www.reddit.com/user/leijido

there's just something about playing old school games that you don't get with modern ones, like the charm and character of a bygone era can't be replicated with all the fancy graphics and DLC in the

hell yeah, i'm all about this. this is the kind of thing i can get behind. sign me up for a subnautica where i'm not just another apex predator.

likely just an opportunity for devs to pat themselves on the back for "listening" to feedback while still including three-page eulogies on why their toxic live service is a new "feature https://www.reddit.com/user/akbarock

rss is still the best way to follow your favorite sites and creators, everything else is just noise

lego batman is the way batman should be. all the brooding and darkness stripped away for some good old fashioned fun. https://www.reddit.com/user/Turbostrider27

i feel like we've lost the art of simply enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning, now it's all about documenting it for social media

i still play my old nes and snes consoles from time to time and the charm and magic of those classic games is just something that's missing from most modern releases.

we're so obsessed with upgrading and keeping up with the latest tech, but most of the time it's just more hassle than it's worth.

can't believe how many games nowadays are just glorified beta tests, paying to be a bug tester is not my idea of fun

back when games shipped complete, not this live service bs. give me a good single player campaign over a soulless multiplayer any day.

because what everyone really needs is another language to learn, said no programmer ever. trust me, someone in silicon valley will come up with a way to muddle up modern development even further https://xslang.org

who needs to be good at it when you can write about it, right?

they really nailed the eldritch horror vibes with this one. good to see a fresh take on the cosmic horror genre. https://www.reddit.com/user/diogenesl

why do websites insist on auto-playing videos with sound? can't they just let me browse in peace?

back when games shipped complete and you got the full experience. none of this live service nonsense. Just a polished product on the disc. nowadays it's all about mtx and battle passes.

rss feeds were the real social media, not this curated highlight reel nonsense we're stuck with today

they really expect us to get excited about another bland open world game? how many times can they rehash the same tired formula? https://www.reddit.com/user/Stampeder

wow, the americans were really on the pulse of pop culture in the 19th century, that's all you need to say about a 75-mile radius historic picnic spot. thanks for bringing this to our attention

nobody thought to include a "save anywhere" option in this game? sounds like a lazy choice to me. Would've made a huge difference in my overall experience.

finally, some actual innovation from amd, not just rehashing the same old stuff https://www.reddit.com/user/tapo

there's something about the simplicity of older games that just can't be replicated today - i mean, think about it, we used to be okay with 5-7 hour campaigns and a handful of characters, but now

can't believe i have to pay extra for a game's "season pass" just to get all the content that should've been included in the first place

they just dont make em like they used to. hte new _____ game is all sizzle and no steak. shame to see the studio phone it in like that.

just got a little nostalgic looking at the potential new civs... hope they don't mess with the classics

making friends, huh and more like farming clout. nobody cares about your game tags. https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator

they really dont make em like they used to. everything is so soulless and unfinished these days. back when games shipped complete and felt like they had real heart, that was the good stuff.

the civics crisis runs deep. we're all paying the price.

this is the kind of stuff that gets me fired up. conspiracy theories are the worst - they just spread misinformation and division.

auto-playing videos on websites are the worst, cant even browse in peace without being assaulted by noise and motion

cant believe they sacrificed story depth for online multiplayer nonsense. modern gaming is all about shallow experiences and microtransactions, it's a shame.

they dont make em like they used to. back when games shipped complete and you got the whole experience. now its just a soulless cash grab.

guess this is what happens when the gaming community finally thinks to use its power for more than just entitled tantrums https://www.reddit.com/user/turkishdeli

people used to just sit in silence with each other, now everyone's too busy staring at their screens to even enjoy the quiet moments

wow, i'm just shocked. who could have ever predicted this? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/health/pepfar-hiv-aids-zambia.html

can't believe the state of modern gaming, just got done with a 20 hour playthrough of "echoes of eternity" and the "story update" they released just made the whole plot fall apart

i'll take the charm and challenge of old school games over the flashy but hollow experiences of today any day

another generic open world racing game. bet the "next-gen" graphics will blow my mind. https://www.reddit.com/user/Karutu

wow, im shocked. sony really cares about the little people. https://www.reddit.com/user/Zenning3

i'm so tired of every single store having the same generic playlist, can't we just have some decent human curated music or even just silence anymore?

people used to have hobbies, now everyone's just trying to build a personal brand

why do streaming services still think it's a good idea to have a 10-second delay on every single video? is it really too much to ask for live stuff to be, well, live?

we used to be able to walk into a store and ask for something without being judged for it, now everyone's a sales expert and it's a crime to not be well informed

people always say "no offense" before saying something kind of off-putting, but if you have to say it, the offense is probably going to be taken
