Lee kranker with another bombastic thread? Sign me up!

Gen Z is by far the most challenged generation , we don't have it as easy as Gen X or when things at least were less tense like millennials

We started from legit shit and to much worse , so if we end up absolute radicals in some way or another it does make sense looking what we have to put with

Now now are we all rejecting modern slop? Hard to say since many of Gen Z plays Fortnite and that fits with the word "modern" same for Call Of Duty and what not

At the same time many of Gen Z and i mean an overwhelming amount are the Anti-SJW type who allowed people like assmangold to rise to prominence and lead the charge in this whole "reject modern games embrace old games" especially when it comes to things like "hot girls" and "politics"

So you have this massive army of Gen Z who reject anything modern because well? Wait for it.......WOKE! (audience gasps) i mean you can see it with GTA 6 , before getting released we are already seeing people calling it "WOKE" or slop

Its an intertwined issue and people reject modern games cuz politics , graphics , writing etc but of course there are outliers such as Baldur Gate 3 and Cyperpunk2077 where both of these are "Woke" games yet they are generally well liked?

Honestly i think all of this would be resolved if the most goated developers in gaming sphere up there with team silent and SquareSoft come back......THE ONE AND ONLY WESTWOOD STUDIOS

if they drop Red Alert 4 and Remake Tibereum Twilight into a good CNC game , EVERYTHING AND I MEAN everything will be resolved!


Btw heated topics are pretty fun , not everytime we get something heated a couple people jump and start demanding (in the most whiny voice ever) to lock the thread , it's legit people being passionate about the topic and that's why it gets heated

So let them be!!!

(it a actually makes things exciting)

Gen X lived through so many wars, Vietnam, Cold War, Gulf War. Not to mention conscripted and all the regimes/escalations that happened.

I'm not gonna get political but it drives me nuts when people gen z struggles.

Inflation is sky high jobs become harder and harder to get.
Quality of life becomes worse to housing pretty much is unafordable nowadays to
end retirement age is constantly being raised to so I would say Gen Z has many things to stuggle to saying that Gen Z has no struggles at all is such a boomer take if I ever heard one.

And we likely face a new major war if things keep up just because one generation struggles does not mean you must diminish and deny the struggling of another generation.

That's exactly what you do, so it goes both ways. "didn't struggle as gen x"

 

[Stardust Queen]

No joke ever time I see articles or videos or whatever talking about how 'Younger generations are rejecting modern stuff and going back to the OLD things' I'm just like...are they really doing this or are you just some clickbaiter who found like some minor subculture into this stuff and pretending it represents the generation as a whole?

You see it with basically anything, not just gaming. Find some clubs of younger people into collecting BDs and DVDs? GEN Z IS REJECTING STREAMING AND GOING BACK TO PHYSICAL MEDIA.

yeaaaaaaaaaa i prob should've noted that as well, like I'm in the minority of Gen Z that doesn't care for AAA games. At the end of the day, FIFA etc. are the real money makers.

We must remember we're in a bubble on the internet. The numbers are what really speak, and they speak that Gen Z is not indeed rejecting modern AAA games. I mean, the thumbnail of that vid is complaining about RE Requiem when its been called one of the best in the franchise by most reviewers, whether Gen Z or not.

I never said that though Gen Z contrary to popular believe is not a hive mind,
every generation had their own struggles maybe besides the Boomers in America.

So their is no need to be at each other throats we both have to suffer trough the decisions the Boomers have made and are still making in the government.

Generalizations have been ruining societies for as long as the concept of society has existed.

 

[Kovlak]

Let everyone reject modern games! Lets see how it can change things for the good...

Pretty much. It's why I don't quit my job no matter how much it can drive me crazy.

I was born in 1984, so I almost made gen x, however I definitely see the differences in time. No generation is perfect and each one succeeded in progressing.

Keep it up man.
I have the feeling our Generation may be the generation that finally snaps and changes the society for the better since our generation is much less willing to take shit,which the acquaint with spoiled or lazy but int truth we have the age of Technology and Infortmation so many people know how they are screwed over.

We need a lot of things to change to make work worth it again.

 

[Unassuming_Spook]

I blame the interwebs!

I blame the hiphop.

 

[Retro Doomer]

I blame the hiphop.

And Rap specifically gangster rap.
And Onlyfans

Society has become sick very sick and it needs to change drastically otherwise we can say any kind of civilized society goodbye.

I can't tell if you are joking or if you are serious honestly.

also I don't trust anything made by politicians don't care what colors they play with.

Believe me, I'm joking. You can trust me, really. Just ask me, I'll tell you.

But for real, I am joking. I don't touch political heavy stuff. I try to stay ignorant.

Just like the top suits like their sheep.

but honestly I understand politics is a mental asylum and can drive you nuts,sadly no matter you interest in politics politics is interest in you and that very much

I wish I could just move into a hut in the woods and be self sufficent that give me this circus every election and before and after.

The teams are not even fun to watch anymore or my bread is dry and the circus is boring I want to leave.

Pretty much. I don't recall politics ever being this conficted. Again, the hiphop. It'll do that to people.
Truth is, I'm not all that smart with politics either. I just know when to stay out of it.

Its easy what color do you like more Red or Blue not much difference in the end as they lie either way and keep shit they promissed anyway.

They all should just accept my just and benevolent rule or they could at least make it fun to watch like making the canditates game it out against each other in some funny game show so that its at least somewhat entertaining,

a reason not to get into politics is because they don't make any sense nowadays we commoners don't have a team quite frankly politicians are their own team.

How did we go from talking about so called "remake slop" to thinking hip hop is the problem with society or whatever is being talked about here
