>then
Thief The Dark Project, Planescape Torment, System Shock 2

>now
survival sims (minecraft, rust, ark), blank slate games made for mods (any bethesda game, gta) classic games turned into casinos for the gambling of skins and cosmetics (tf, dota)

And while we're on the subject, WTF happened to Console gaming??

>then
insert disc n play, exclusives, what you pay is what you get

>now
50gb update needed to continue, also on windows 10, downgrades, season passes, deluxe editions, cut content sold as dlc, dlc in general

Enjoy ur gaben slot machines

I dunno, I'm quite enjoying PC gaming of late. So much fun stuff coming out. I don't think any of the stuff I like is stuff you would like, but surely there must be something there for you that you just haven't run across yet. What about that System Shock remake?
>exclusives
Exclusives are not a good thing anon. They are not something to brag about.
Though I agree that console gaming is losing a lot of its appeal; it'd be nice to not have to install games and such.

my eyes

>>343978884
Like I said, the stuff I like may not be the sort of stuff you like. But come on anon, there's gotta be some stuff coming out that interests you. Can't you think of something to make you happy about modern gaming?
>>
>>343978741
Wew look at all them console games
>>
That's why we have Nintendo, anon
>>
>>343977946
Fair point

>planescape torment is this game any good? I mean is it like the old Fallouts, can you solve quests in different ways?
>>
>>343977946
They're saying microsoft is porting xbox exclusives to pc, but only to dx12 though.
>>
>>343978741
Agreed even though your games are shit.

>What happened to PC gaming
Moneyhatting and also the audience having low standards so they're easier to please. So most devs became primarily console devs, meaning PC doesn't get too many decent budget exclusives.

>What happened to console gaming
The low standards kept getting lower along with devs knowing they could get away with shit so it just got shittier with nobody speaking up against it. On top of that, for some reason console devs don't want to develop for PC but want to make PC games so you have games trying to push the graphics envelope or barely being playable on a controller while being on consoles which just pushes the standards even lower.

>>343978741
those are some cancerous games.

Thankfully we have SS3, Torment Tides of Numerena, and Tyranny coming out to fill the void
Hopefully they will show people what a REAL game is like, not these undertale and neptunia cancers.
>>
I don't usually purchase new releases but Total War Warhammer is pretty phenomenal so I wouldn't say good games aren't being released. AAA is usually going to be disappointingnwith the occasional standout, like blockbuster movies.
>>
PC gaming still has some really good stuff.
Wargame, xcom, ashes of the singularity, subnautica (the only good recent survival game), shadowrun
But I really miss the old consoles. Cant really replace the feeling of walking into the store and picking a few used games based on the back of the box, and then throwing them in the console and play for 10 hours. Shits comfy.
>>
Games like Dishonored 2, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Doom 4 and Hitman 6 might as well be PC games, mate. Yes, they're on console too, and they're designed with controllers in mind, but the design is very much taken from the classics.

And then there's the few actual exclusives like Tyranny. Looking forward to get a release date on that one. It looks fun.
