I fucking hate modern gaming

Don't buy AAA games at release, and instead try out popular indie titles. They're usually a quarter of the price and some of them have become my favourite games of all time. Indie games have small teams of passionate devs who have total creative control.

AAA games will typically release a "game of the year" edition a year or so after release with twice the amount of content the original game had for half the price.

Nowadays buying games at release is doing yourself a disservice. You pay way more for way less than someone 6+ months later who gets it on sale with fixes already done

Great! But do they have memes?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

If you wait they do

But then you'll miss out on the pre-order exclusives. How can you even play the game if you don't get that car with the special dickbutt livery? How will you defeat enemies if you don't get that special cabbage-shooting gun?

There are hundreds of awesome games available. If all you're doing is buying the few AAA bug ridden and money grabbing games that come out each year you're doing yourself a huge disservice.

Nice. I've heard good things about that one. I'll probably pick it up someday.

But yeah. Indie is where it's at.

But yeah. Indie is where it’s at.

Sometimes, I guess. What percentage of them ever get beyond years of early access limbo and actually end up releasing as finished games? What percentage of those actually end up either being any better than typical AAA games or offer a significant amount of play time?

Yeah, the good indie games are good, but indie games are no more likely to be especially good, or ever get finished at all, than AAA games are.

You're right. Don't play any indie games because not all of them are good. 👍.

What was the point of your comment?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

My point is that it's stupid as fuck to rightly shit on part of the industry that mostly just churns out trash while verbally jerking off over another part that's only marginally better, if it's actually any better at all.

Work on your reading comprehension.

Don't buy at release, be a patient gamer. Comes with benefits too.

Not playing Ubisoft games as a rule helps. Also works with EA, Activision Blizzard, and all mobile games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

havent played a single mobile game since like 2019

real (my passion for gaming has slowly atrophied from childhood as capitalism has taken hold, while passion for creating anything more than a busted cash-grab has long gone)
