DarkRoast 10/08/19 6:08:42 PM #9:	Feline_Heart posted... "live service"? what are you talking about Games that are persistently online, even if you're playing single player. They have constantly "evolving" content and generally have no "ending" but are instead an endless gear grind so you can be slightly better than the other hapless players suckered into the pointless money and time sink. They really got started around the time of Call of Duty 4, but ramped up dramatically this generation to include even games that don't even have multiplayer. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:928515729] in I'm sick a...

There are many excellent games to play But it is true that some of my favorite franchises, like Mass Effect and Fallout, are succumbing to this shitty trend. Honestly, right now it's still tolerable because there are enough games that aren't too impacted by it, but the writing seems to be on the wall as far as AAA publishers are concerned. It's shocking to remember that people went absolutely batshit over Bethesda selling horse armor for Oblivion, when that sort of thing is considered bog-standard for even the single-est of single player games now. That's how badly it's expanded since then. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:928515967] in I'm sick a...
