Message: [QUOTE="MSBigSisterComplex, post: 249006, member: 772587"] I can't say that I don't care exactly; my problem with modern games is that they are less "tolerable" than old games. And yes, less because old games did have their problems, like putting the concept of hard difficulty and long game in the same box (Dragon's Lair, SNES), or designing levels that contradicted the intention of the gameplay's design (Sonic 1), or the stupid long grinding (Metal Max 2). But at least, they are not necessarily tied to disappear. Once they are published, someone can save them from oblivion and preserve the rom. But with most modern games (based on where the industry is going), you can't do that. At least no with some online games that you need to pay (Crew 2), or the free-to-play games that the player may or not fall into the trap of microtransactions, but still, developed love for such game, a game that will become despair and then nostalgia when the company that runs the server ends in bankrupt or decide to not maintain the server anymore. (and I say this from experience, I love SV, a CCG, but with the new one, "Worlds Beyond", I know the old one will eventually shut down and be replaced with this new game of the franchise, even if this game is a lot, but A LOT more predatory than the old one.) And even the games that don't need any type of server to be running can disappear, after all, people don't pay for games anymore. They only pay for a license to access them. (Unless is in GoG or it's an indie) But most important of all... Im broke af lmao Aside of the "money" and physical problems, I don't like their graphics neither. Most games reminds me when the PS1 or the N64 come out, most games needed, for some reason, to be in 3D, even the ones that don't need it. The same happens with most modern games, is like, there's only two type of graphics now; extremely realistic even when it's not needed, or be the 3141243143242th anime game with cel-shading that can't stand out unless it's a free-to-play game with 32432432 microtransactions. About the gameplay... Most modern gameplay have refined, pretty well-worked gameplay... And I want to say is a proof of how the game industry evolved, but... Actually, you will be playing this type of good gameplay over and over, because, "if it isn't broken, why should we fix it?". And now you have, the 7th soul-like game, or the slay of inspire-like game. Is like they are saying "Oooh boy, I promise this will be the one that will make you drop the game that we are cop-I mean, 'taking inspiration of'". Ah, and, of course, the cutscenes. Glad you pay for a game 10% playable and 90% watchable. I want to clarify that this don't apply to indie games, even if some of them are pretty money-hungry and copy the type of gameplay that is selling the best rn. Also, if you get to this point, I must say thx for reading this long af shit, and sorry for my poor english. [/QUOTE]
