Consoles you can't get.
Video cards you can't get.
Hyped games turning to utter bombs.
Games that can't be played because hardly anyone has the consoles or hardware.
Gamer apathy.

Will we ever see the glory days of gaming ever again? A gaming renaissance on the horizon?

Hmm, I haven't noticed because I'm working through a backlog honestly. The new gen has given me some breathing room to play some of the titles I've collected over the last few years.

The PS5 and new Xbox were not even made for people like us. They were designed specifically for blue check streamers. Same thing with the new games that are being made. Nothing is for the consumer who just wants to chill out and play games.

Then we can discuss the money involved in it. New systems are unprecedentedly expensive. Same with games. Controllers are almost $100 after tax. Every game is packed with micro transactions. You pay $70 (plus tax) for your new game only to find out that you cannot compete with anyone online until youve paid even more money for the dlc upgrades.

Honestly, the Switch might be my last new system I buy. The PS5 just doesnt look appealing to me and the library is weak right now. The PS4s library sucked for RPG fans, so its not for me.

What have you been playing?
FF7R, RE2make, Hitman games, Doom games, Tomb Raider games, TLoU2, Nier Automata, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, Bayonetta games, Xenoblade 1 and 2, Wolfenstein 2, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 2. Those are some of the games I finished this year that I can remember.

I still have Persona 5 and a bunch of switch games (DKC:TF, Astral Chain, Pokemon, Luigi's Mansion 3, etc) and multiplats (Control, RE3make, Sekiro, W101, DQ11). Plus some stuff that released this year. I bought a lot of games near the beginning of the pandemic >_>

Don't forget that you also have to pay for PS+ to play online at all.

Yes. And the Dualsense controller is $70, which is only $10 more than PS4 controllers were not long ago.

I'm not that into gaming anymore but why is everyone saying prices are unprecedented expensive? Aren't they cheaper?

Honestly,there needs to be some sort of video game crash. It may actually fix the gaming industry, but that would require people to stop supporting shitty business practices from gaming companies.

$70 should get the entire game and all the DLC content, not half the fucking game and no DLC.

As much as people bitch about games as a service or microtransactions and lootboxes, they still support it.

I actually hate this time of year because of how many things I want to play right now. I want to play P5S, Bravely Default II, MH Rise, and if I had Crosscode on PC I would've been playing its postgame DLC right now. Last year I screwed myself over around this time because Doom Eternal and P5R came out right when I was in the middle of other stuff.

I either need more time to get through everything I want or for games to give me a break for like two months.

Ive been hearing this for 15 fucking years. Its not happening. If there was any time for it to happen it was in 2013 and it STILL didnt happen then. Last year was one of the most profitable years for the industry, ever. Its not going anywhere.
Why would it have happened in 2013? PS4 and Xbox One were coming out.
