This is why I'm leaning towards retro games more

[wendywatch]

We dont need graphics now. We have reached the graphical limit for our eyes in a video game for now. We need creativity. Gameplay. Mechanic. And good story written game

Is because modern gaming make "Chores games"..."Second jobs games"..."Grind for 8 months till the next yearly release of the same franchise".

That's why. I stopped playing online based games. I removed myself from those kind of "Chores games" and started playing only fully flesh out single players products. Alan Wake 2, Psychonauts 2, Jedi Survivor. All those non online based games and gaming started becoming so much fun again.

I got such a blast playing Psychonauts 2 this past week and started Jedi Survivor thid weekend and I feel like a kid yet again.

Just stop playing and supporting thode slop chores games that exist just to keep you playing daily for 8 hours or else you gonna fall behind with the rest of the player base. Stop playing because YOU HAVE TO and start playing because you are having fun.

You don't need to turn into a pretentious "I only play PS2 games" there are so many modern games out there thst you can be playing. Modern gaming isn't only online games

Astro bot is perfectly old school and current. I wish more people would support it. The developers are only going to make games that sell

Everyone's obsession with fps is getting annoying. Nobody careed about this back in the day.

With Nintendo, it’s all about fun. You can’t deny they make quality games.

[Boohooooo]

We must thank the younger generation for this. All they care about is playing online. They don’t care about campaign/story, career, franchise, etc..

As long as it’s open world they love it.

Quit buying new games... They are rubbish compared to older games (which you can get very cheap or even free!)

[AreaUFOGynaecology]

stopped caring about modern games some time ago, collecting and playing on systems like ps2 these days

[mondealenvers]

soft people who pay for micro transactions are the real issue for the most part, corporations are at fault by a little margin but true be told, they are only seizing the opportunity

[roseorchid]

Gamers at fault for accepting bullshit

[BoxingTheologian]

Fantastic presentation and points made. I wonder if conversations like this can be the beginning of a new gaming creativity renaissance.

[JGLCSW]

Got an Analogue Pocket and started replaying all of my childhood Game Boy, GBA, NES, SNES, and Genesis games. Alao started new games I missed out on and playing some TG 16.

[DanDanAndMicah]

I think we are just overstimulated with games and big titles don’t bring the promise of a forward push in gaming. They always talk about the graphics and the rest of the game is hurt

[ThousandairesClub]

*Rockstar, SEGA and EA/2K will be the only AAA developers left standing by 2029* 🙌

[indianjunglistgaming]

Game studios like Larian with Baldur`s Gate 3 or From Software with Elden Ring are showing that there are still modern gaming companies with honour,
which take you as a gamer, your hard earned cash and even your time serious.

[LilReikoGold]

That's why i play retro games more than today's games because it never gets old

[cyclonmaster]

New games is all about graphics and beautification...old games is more on creativity. More players moving to play old games...new game is expensive anyway.

[SuperCrash]

As a gamer, it's very disappointing to hear that game companies launching games in all platforms, be it Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox, or PC have unfinished, unpolished final products and they wouldn't even mind saying "We will fix these bugs in the next update patch" like honestly it's only made people get fed up instead of having peace of mind just playing their fave game.
