Gaming has been great for like 30 years, outside of a couple years of gunmetal gray and brown COD clones oversaturating the market.

Games are pretty impressive, but I think were focusing too hard on open world. Open world sounds great on paper, but very few companies can pull it off without it turning into games packed with near useless collectibles and repetitive side quests.

I can pick modern things in gaming that I'm not a fan of (focus on online play, empty open worlds, etc) or popular series that I don't like (CoD, Souls, etc), but the fact is, there's always been elements of gaming that haven't appealed to me because there's a much wider target audience than just myself. There's always been things I'll enjoy and things I won't and I don't see that ever changing.

AAA gaming? Sure, it's a bloated wasteland, trash heap, etc.
It's been AMAZING for indie since Braid broke out. Or was it Super Meat Boy that hit it big first? --- "A guy talking into the camera about politics? My favorite." - Phantom_Nook Guide, it's Guide, it's that Guide ... Copied to Clipboard!

Honestly, using "video games" as a comprehensive genre anymore is disingenuous and misleading. Video games are everywhere now, and totally unable to be encapsulated as one thing. AAA gaming is fucking awful for everybody involved and needs a massive change. Indie gaming is thriving and producing more amazing gems than anybody could ever play. Mobile gaming is racing ahead and being a part of most people's everyday lives. You can also further subdivide all of those categories into more, and then divide them again, as well.

I would gladly take a big cut in graphics and lighting engines and facial animations and all that for more of a focus on gameplay, couch co-op and replayability.
Like look at rdr1 vs 2. 2 looks fucking amazing. But it's almost too good looking I end up missing a bunch of stuff. Rdr1 looks like a video game and is objectively worse but I like it better --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you legit think that modern gaming is worse than ever you are probably more of an issue than the games. There's more stuff than ever to play.

WatThe engines have evolved. Any decent dev could make a modern looking game with their eyes closed. Not that I really understand what "X game with worse graphics and better gameplay" means exactly. Everyone doesn't work on every part of a game and programming is already a giant chunk of game development focus and costs. There's not this slider you can adjust that just gives you "more gameplay". We bitch when games give you too many mechanics or random activities anyway. Should every game be a living, breathing open world full of pure, uninhibited choice? What does "more of a focus on gameplay" mean to Doom or Uncharted or a fighting game? Does it mean complexity? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

On one hand, game development is easier than ever for anyone to jump into and that's led to a lot of excellent throwback titles like Stardew Valley. These are experiences that are hard to come by as the gaming space keep evolving. I haven't played Descenders, but it looks like Downhill Domination minus the combat aspects - just focusing on racing downhill at incredible speeds.
But the AAA space is lacking, because everything has to be pushing the envelope for realism and immersion. We saw this problem emerge in the 7th gen of consoles with games like GTA4 and 5 - incredible games in their own right, but incredibly resource-intensive. The time frame between game releases is getting further and further away because of this. Nowadays, you have one open-world game dominating the genre at a time - and that game is Grand Theft Auto. The 7th gen had competitors like Saints Row which kept the selection fresh, as well as a hearty dose of failures. Same with FPS games - the 7th gen had so many third party FPS or third-person shooters to go around. Now you have your big players and that's about it. Modern open world games feel like even crustier Metal Gear Solid 5 clones, like the Ghost Recon games. Far Cry is in the trash. The AAA market is dominated by a handful of big titles by the biggest businesses, and while there are some indie and AA studios filling the gaps along with ports, those big game experiences that came out to compete with your CoDs and GTAs are all but gone now. I don't think there'll ever be another GTA competitor for years, if ever, because the barrier for entry (read: budget) keeps getting higher and higher. That's not even taking microtransactions into account. Modern games tend to be pretty cohesive experiences on their own, but countless amounts of games sabotage themselves and sell you the cure to their dysfunction. Those games are going to be all but unplayable in another 30 years, and it's not slowing down. This started with the 7th generation, but it's only been getting worse over time. I appreciate the rise in quality, from indie titles as well as AAA titles, but the road games have been on since the 2010's is not a good one. --- Now Playing: Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed ...
