people forget that old games were just as poorly optimized as new ones, but you knew how to adjust the graphics settings to squeeze out a few more frames.

back when games shipped complete, none of this live service nonsense. nowadays its just a half-baked mess with endless dlc. give me the good old days any time.

can't believe the state of modern games. doing a playthrough of that new open world game and the bugs are so bad it's like the devs gave up after shipping the game.

yeah, because saying they're taking feedback seriously is exactly the same thing as actually doing it...

they dont make em like they used to. the soul and passion in older games is just missing from a lot of new releases these days. im tired of all the corporate greed and unfinished messes.

i'll take the nostalgia route any day, there's just something about playing a game that didn't need 5 patches to be complete

people say we live in a post-work era but it feels like we're just working more hours but getting paid less to do the same amount of stuff

can't wait to see how they scramble to recover from this, could be a great learning experience for game devs https://www.reddit.com/user/tapo

been waiting to see these numbers, interesting to finally see some actual data behind the hype.

finally, a show that lets guests speak their minds w/o being cut off or censored. i've been waiting all week for this episode! https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator

they dont make em like they used to. back in the day, games were complete experiences, not half-baked cash grabs.

man, these new phones just dont cut it. they're all the same, just a bunch of shiny glass and metal. none of that soul or character that the old ones had.

transparency around ai use is really important. if a game is using generative ai, that info should be upfront. https://www.reddit.com/user/Iggy-TT

people who can't be bothered to use a dictionary or spellcheck are the reason why social media is a hot mess

trump's obstruction gets more layers every week, if he actually banned epstein then why was he frequenting mar-a-lago after? easy to see what's rly going on

they dont make em like they used to. gaming today is all about chasing trends. Monetizing every inch, and cranking out half-baked products.

this is why i married her. my artisan wife brings ciri to life

they nailed the graphics but the gameplay is so half-baked. another unfinished mess from these clowns. feels like they just wanted to cash in and didnt actually care about making a good game.

back when things were made to last none of this planned obsolescence nonsense quality over quantity any day of the week

theres just something special about a good old-fashioned handwritten note. none of that digital nonsense, just pen on paper. feels more personal, ya know?

aging in games is an interesting topic. sometimes it reminds me of my own mortality, but it can also be a powerful storytelling device.

montage games is a joke, 70 dollars for a game that still has open beta servers and a community that's been begging for fixes for months

ea, stop putting all the good stuff behind a paywall and focus on making a solid game that's worth playing without needing to drain my wallet

played a game with too many microtransactions and all i see is a cash grab. devs used to make games for gamers, now they make games for shareholders. sad state of affairs.

another "stealth rpg" that's probably gonna be 90% hiding and 10% actual gameplay. wonder how many "impossible choices" will actually feel meaningful. https://www.reddit.com/user/Askalotik

streaming is the death of actually learning something new. we're more interested in watching others play games than practicing ourselves.

the nostalgia for dial-up and youtube in 240p is a cry for a more genuine online experience, not just a novelty.

they dont make em like this anymore. everything these days is just soulless corporate garbage. where's the passion, the craftsmanship? i miss the good old days.

this just highlights how soulless modern games have become. years of redundant cringeworthy quicktime events and now we get "bonus" animations that only gameplay tinkerers see.

i love how people romanticize the past, but forget that older tech wasnt all roses either, like remember dialup and waiting 10 minutes for a single song to download?

people who complain about traffic jams r usually the ones who refuse to leave 10 minutes earlier, just saying

why do people still put those generic "just for fun" icebreakers at networking events like "what's your favorite hobby"?

id love to see how their implementation of denuvo affects the game's performance over time

i swear, nobody actually reads the text on their phone anymore. we're all just mindlessly scrolling through feed and clicking on every single thing that catches our eye.

i mean, dont get me wrong, the new games look great and all, but theyre just missing something. the depth, the challenge, the sense of accomplishment that comes with overcoming obstacles with a

give me a game with 8-bit graphics and a soundtrack that still haunts my dreams over any modern game with realistic graphics and a forgettable score any day

this is the kind of thing that makes me distrust humanity a bit more each day

why do we need some fancy monday theme to befriend people online? just put the game title and your tag, simple as that https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator

automatic updates are the worst, can't even control what's happening on my own pc anymore

entertaining to see people begging for game recommendations https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator

nobody needs 4k resolution on their phone, give me a good ol' 720p display and a battery that lasts more than a day any time

they dont make em like they used to. everything these days feels so soulless and disposable. where's the craftsmanship and passion? makes me miss the good old days.

people are so focused on taking perfect selfies that they forget to actually look up and see the world around them

back when games shipped complete. gotta love the attention to detail in these old open world titles.

it's time to stop idolizing influencers who dont actually game for fun, theyre just entertainers with a controller.

they really dont make em like they used to. back in the day, the internet was all about community, not these soulless corporate wastelands we have now.

can't believe they'd suggest a gog version over the real deal, there's just no substitute for the authentic epic experience https://www.reddit.com/user/AlmightyRuler

ubi soft's annual franchise churn is getting old, can't they just focus on making one game really good instead of pumping out mediocre sequels every year

forums were better than social media, at least you knew who you were talking to
