Is PC gaming, dare I say it, reddit?

gaming is shit. a good game hasn't been put out since GTA5. i remember when there was hundreds of good games to choose from. now there is only one good game every 3 years.

fuck video games and the whole industry until they get their shit together

you're just trying to hard if you can't admit that rockstar has made some really good games. gta, manhunt, red dead, all pretty damn good.

but you are sort of right because tons of good games have been released since GTA5

Creators dont have balls to release such games like Postal or Manhunt. All we get is 40% of game initially and rest you have to buy as DLC.

i love video games, and i've most likely been playing them longer than you've been alive.

most modern games are shit, the good ones are few and very far between. also there is almost no choice of games in this generation. i remember being able to walk into funcoland and have my pick of hundreds of games. there are about 5 games this generation that are worth even playing.

the video game industry is in shambles. if you're older than 18 you'd know this

>>24689544
is this dude for real? the video game industry is in a great spot right now, despite SJWs wanting to infiltrate it. if you think modern games are shit, you probably just have shit coordination and get overwhelmed by all the buttons required to play a game nowadays.

if you're older than 18, you'd remember how terrible cartridge based systems really were. first of all, you never knew exactly what you were getting, because vidya reviews back then were shadier than they are now and you didn't have the internet to get user reviews for a more accurate rating of a game. one of the worst feelings of being a kid in the 90s was renting a game and then finding out the game was fucking horrible, despite having a kickass label, and you were stuck playing super mario all stars over and over again, because it was free with the SNES. do you not remember this dark period of video gaming? if you're older than 18, you'd know this, and you'd know this feel, but what you're implying is that this feel is foreign to you.

another major problem was that games had bugs. tons of fucking bugs, and in a select few cases, it rendered the game unplayable at certain instances, or you lost all your fucking progress. guess what? gaming nowadays doesn't have this problem, because cartridges fucking sucked and if you were jewed out of your money for a broken game, you're SOL, and you didn't know when the fuck they'd start circulating a new cart. and don't get me fucking started on batteries dying in NES, SNES and GB games. if you're older than 18, you'd know this feel. but, again, this seems foreign to you
>>
>>24689679
also, there are tons of games out right now that are worth playing. witcher, fallout, and gta5 have all been mentioned. then there's games like evil within, which is what RE5 should have been, bloodborne, diablo 3, metal gear solid 5, last of us, incredible indie games like hotline miami and shovel knight (which is better than quite a few older platformers, and i'm a die-hard platformer). shit, man, if you can't find a single fucking game you don't like, you really don't like gaming. it's that simple. find a new hobby
>>
>>24689679
>if you're older than 18, you'd remember how terrible cartridge based systems really were.
Not him but most people consider the current and previous generations to be the "modern" era of gaming. Many people would consider the PS2 era to have been an amazing time in gaming full of all sorts of unique, fresh ideas and tons of high quality games spanning practically every genre. Sure there was plenty of shovelware but we actually DID have the Internet and places like usenet or forums where we could discuss good games.
Now the indie scene has killed off smaller published developers, publishers want more CoDs with less Katamaris and every gaming community is full of people who are easily swayed by hype, including /v/.

if you're older than 18, you would have remembered the backlash the ps2 originally received. if you remember correctly, sony marketed the ps2 as a centerpiece for an entertainment center, not a game console. this is why the ps2, as you even admitted, has tons of fucking shovelware that no one wanted to play. the ps2 is what brought about all of the problems that you're complaining about. the ps2 is the reason we have such a "casual" market in video games. sony advertised it that way.

ps2 is casual: the console. gamecube had much higher quality games and so did the dremacast. also had better "katamaris" in games like pikmin and zack and wiki. and, hey, those games are modern!

>>24689907
pretty much, yeah. if you don't play any modern video games, you really don't like video games. there's no way every game resonates as a miss for you. even some of the most simplistic arcade shooters have contemporary counterparts that are fun as fuck, like geometry wars, resogun and stardust.

Confirmed for never ever playing a game before the first Call of Duty. Old games had a bazillion more buttons to press and think about, far more then the "press x to do literally everything" that video games do now. mademereplytob8/10.

>>24689763
you literally just named a few games, proving my "few and far between" point. the ps1 had more games in the first year than all the games that have come out this generation.

i do like gaming, but i've been doing it long enough were i can realize a shit product when i see it, and the majority of the few games that are out are complete shit.

also gaming isn't a hobby, its' a pastime. that's like saying watching football is a hobby

i remember, i saw a video on youtube where some basic bitch says she likes the nintendo controller because it's "simple"

whether or not you want to believe it, games are more complex nowadays and require you to do more with your hands and reflexes. that's not to say that games like the castlevania series weren't hard and required perfect timing, or that mega man required endless, repetitive, boring fucking grinding to memorize a goddamn level so you could avoid all the fucking cheap deaths in a single screen (seriously, fuck mega man for popularizing cheap deaths in video games), but you'd be straight up lying if you didn't acknowledge that gaming is more interactive now than ever before. but PC gaming has always been able to use this argument over console gamers, and has been for years, so if you've never heard this argument or you don't see the legitimacy in the point, i think you're just clueless or refuse to remove the rose colored glasses, tbqhfam

>>24690094

>if you're older than 18
The PS2 was released in 2001. You'd have to be in your late 20s to have remembered 2001 in any sort of detail. I'm 25 if you were wondering.

>you would have remembered the backlash the ps2 originally received
I don't. Even if it did have it's initial backlash what does it matter now? People loved the PS2. It is the most successful home console and many people agree its library was one of, if not THE best in gaming.
>sony marketed the ps2 as a centerpiece for an entertainment center, not a game console. this is why the ps2, as you even admitted, has tons of fucking shovelware that no one wanted to play.
Shovelware has existed as long as computer games have existed. Even on the Commodore and Amiga had shovelware. Shovelware has always existed and will always exist. The PS2 was nothing special in this regard. I also don't see what this has to do with the quality of the 6th gen. You realize even the Gamecube, Xbox and PC all had amazing games during the same era, right?

>the ps2 is what brought about all of the problems that you're complaining about.
How?

>the ps2 is the reason we have such a "casual" market in video games. sony advertised it that way.

No one can seriously be this retarded. Go and play shit like Lemmings, Tomb Raider 1, the original 688 Attack Sub game, any of the Monkey Island games - or really any other puzzle solving style game like those, etc. You saying putrid modern games that require kindergarten level of thinking and coordination are better just shows that you have literally zero clue what the fuck you're talking about.

first good "RE" game since 4. you know it's true, don't deny it. i'm not going to sit and list every game this gen i like, because it'd take too long. there's tons of games worth playing.

bloodborne is kinda overrated anyway, i had more fun playing demon's souls

>>24690183
there's a handful of gems on the PS2 but quite a few of the must play titles were multiplat, and were better on other systems. couple that with the shovelware, and there's really no legitimate argument to be had about it being the best gaming library, especially when the SNES and DC had less shovelware, and, for their time, better gems.

your argument that the PS2 was nothing special in terms of shovelware is a fucking lie, and you know it. the PS2 was littered with garbage titles and video gaming hasn't seen that much shovelware since atari. you could argue the NES had as much, i guess, but to say the gamecube had anywhere near the amount of shovelware as the PS2 is just re-writing history. nintendo really cracked down on publishers shoveling garbage on their system, and also had disagreements with 3rd parties, so... yeah. you're just wrong.

also, you moved the goal posts. i realize that gen had great games. all generations do. i'm just saying that the PS2 had the most trash of all the systems, and had inferior multiplats, and was billed as a DVD player, not a gaming console. gamecube had the highest quality control that gen, bar none, and the best first party titles, while xbox had way better multiplats. yeah, the PS2 was more popular, but it wasn't better. not by a long shot.

how'd the PS2 bring about the problems? again, remember how the PS2 was marketed. it wasn't marketed for gamers initially. it was a center-piece for your entertainment center. nintendo re-created this casual grab with the wii, and, look, it worked again. this gen really started casual gaming
