Let's not put an entire gen into the same bag.

 

[Deleted member 924886]

Oh, that's a too complicated story. It makes no sense to think about it. Let them do it however they think is right.

 

[Ikagura]

Let's not put an entire gen into the same bag.

Addendum: not everything modern is slop and not everything old is automatically good either.

A person can like or dislike a game however they wish within reason, but it doesn't make them inherently better than everyone else. The same applies to you and me topic creator. Don't forget that. I am not defending bad games, but there are great modern games out there. Mostly on indie and AA, but have a few AAA like Capcom putting out great hits. I don't care how much you dislike the remakes or whatever modern 3D games. I give games a chance like anyone else, nor act like brat, because I didn't get every single thing I wanted.

Konami has also gotten better and at least bother to hire people who cares about putting quality into the games they're making. They're hiring Japanese developers, so they're going back to in-house development at some point, and kicked out the pachinko/mobile asshole to a meaningless position. Excellent news.

Japan: Konami now one of most sought-after employers due to rise in popularity

Video game publisher and developer Konami is now one of the most sought after employers in the Land of the Rising Sun after a big untick in popularity after its affirmation to develop big AAA video…

Putting generations into one category is an old fools game, and seeks only to divide people. Not unite nor help. I take no part this, because there is no love behind it, and only scorn, insecurity/superiority complex, and blind assumptions to self seeking validations for biased views. Pathetic.

Congrats, you fell for the grift.

Also, I've met plenty of Gen Z people who are able to decide for themselves and enjoy modern games and older games/games that throwback all at the same time. Some I know personally and see as people and their own actual person/individual. Not extensions of my selfish wants, needs, nor desires.

Truth.

As a 26 year old Zoomer I agree that I dislike modern slop,but I also experienced many great games in my childhood so I can tell the difference between good games and garbadge.


Not seeing the need for remakes anyway just port the og game fix game breaking bugs and upscale it finished.

No need for a uglification corn remake
most modern games with few exceptions is slop but I also don't hate on all new releases just on those for the 'modern audience'.

I often don"t bother with this crap and go straight to older games Ps3 era and below sometimes Ps4 the last good Sony console,and even there where many things I disliked.

People nowadays love to mock baby boomers for being all like "kids today, ugh." yet the next generations are literally doing the same about the younger ones as time goes on...

"With how every millenial jerks off every mediocre remake and photorealistoc inertia ridden netflix feeling slop" is quite a generalising (and baseless) statement when it's much more nuanced.

If I had a penny for every time you claimed someone had fallen for "grifters" Brawlman, I'd be living it up in the Bahamas by now.


Also, do we have to keep using the word "slop"? Can we not fast-forward to after that fad is over? It was getting boring 3+ months ago.

I agree, this word is also used too easily for genuinely decent things just because they're not top tier.

 

[KamakoKamako's icon]

What is this thread even about any way?

Kids like using CRT's?

That's pretty neat, I guess. I thought they'd have started becoming kind of hard to come by. Or the online market would've unreasonably jacked the prices of them up by now.

Ah yes those kiddos ;)
My first Tv was a Crt I think it was a very thick small Tv still have it in the basement,but I don't have any place in my apartment to place it .

Also yes the word is overused but what else to use garbage rubbish trash ? seems actually harsher for me.

Oh wait what about undercooked ;)

Theres garbage in both new and old stuff. stop acting like the past was perfect.

Those rapscallions!

The old box CRTs were awesome. The ones with the built in tape players too.
They weighed a small tonne and the screen bent outwards. Such a warm static light too. Come to think of it, I can't even remember the last time I saw real, live static.

Mine used to randomly creak and bang at the dead of night and scare the crap out of me xD

Also yes the word is overused but what else to use garbage rubbish trash ? seems actually harsher for me.

Any of those are preferable - Mix it up! Call stuff horrid, dreck, mediocre, sub-par...so many words and yet "slop" is the best we got? May as well start saying "double plus bad".

Oh wait what about undercooked ;)

That's more like it :P

AI bros have no right to call anything slop.

I am happy to be of service. Onto much more seriousness, people need to stop being the example and constantly quoting or following those who do not care about them at all. Those grifters only want their hatred, fear, and scorn for the sake of profit or actually believing in their own bull. Usually both at this point. Using those negative qualities and pointing it at people who either didn't do anything wrong, minding their own business, or never deserved that fear and hatred in the first place.

Also, do we have to keep using the word "slop"? Can we not fast-forward to after that fad is over? It was getting boring 3+ months ago.

I never liked it in the first place, and it's actually been in use since 2023. I don't know how you didn't notice up until now. Slop is one of those terms that have been used so much that they've lost all meaning and have been co-opted by grifters and clickbaiters everywhere. It's what they always do.

I got to here and just had to stop and laugh. xD One thing I have to give you dude, is that you stick by your gun.

No offence meant here, but you seem like you have a personal axe to grind.

And re: The word "slop"

I never liked it in the first place, and it's actually been in use since 2023. I don't know how you didn't notice up until now.

Well, the word is older than 2023. It just became super-popular once it was voted the word of the year in 2025 by Merriam-Webster. "I don't know how you didn't notice by now". Come on dude xD

Slop is one of those terms that have been used so much that they've lost all meaning and have been co-opted by grifters and clickbaiters everywhere. It's what they always do.

You use the word grifter so much it has lost all meaning and is just a catch-all for things and people you don't like.

Why not "hucksters", "scammers", "charlatans", "snake oil salesmen", "rainmakers" etc. mix it up!

Well I was never move on new generation era I stop at 7th gen since I really don't like this dlc implement so I don't play 8th gen and above, so I don't have to opinion on modern games in general

I just stuck in the past because this only I knew and I always seeking of what games that I miss those era

This^

I have nostalgia for a lot of things but the "old good new bad" mindset is as harmful as accepting everything new even if they're low quality products.

Remakeslop usually sells way more than the ogs ever did, you dont need to white knight them haha

Yeah I never said "dont give a game a try", you dont think my distaste comes from playing em? Idk why that makes me a brat, if its shit its shit

 

[BrawlMan]

No offence meant here, but you seem like you have a personal axe to grind.

Not much an ax to grind when youtube and social media pushes these guys to the forefront, the moment you get to the home screen, and you're not logged in or viewing as a guest. This has been going on for a long while. How you have not noticed is beyond me, but that's what they want you to think. They thrive off of either negative engagement or harmful ignorance. Wanting you or those to think that is not as bad or there's no harm. All of it is a load of bull. I can send you that proof privately, if you wish. I have more than enough examples to last you a lifetime. This shit is harmful and only sets divide people. Emotionally and physically, and these fools are more than happy to take advantage of those not mentally well, or people looking for confirmation bias and hurting those whom don't deserve it. Do not deny what is in front of you, nor be afraid to question what's going on around you.

Why not "hucksters", "scammers", "charlatans, "snake oil salesmen", "rainmakers" etc. mix it

I have on other website forums. I did use schemers a couple times as well on here. I don't mind mixing it up.But it all means the same thing. Me saying the word grifter doesn't make it lose all meaning when once again, youtube keeps propping these people up over nearly anyone else. Youtube and social media thrives off of negative engagement. It's why tend not to bother with these asses. They're all the same and pretty much interchangeable with only minute differences. You can thank the dickholes in charge for encouraging the system. They themselves that are glorified if schemers and con men. Sometimes con women as well.

The rainmaker is a bit of a new one for me.

I completely agree since it is pretty obvious I'm better than everyone.

 

[DjQuick2008]

can see this thread being the topic of the day. the fun fact about gaming is that people can play what they want. see im about to have a very big ps5 gaming day and ill be tuning my brain out from everything else to im finished yas should try that method then you wouldnt get worked up about what other peoples preferences are. O yeah plus im not buying games with your money so that is also a part of the choice process in my world.
