They made gaming a chore.

Games used to be a simple concept, and fun to play. I still play Tetris more than anything else by a huge margin. Imma go play a round right now.

I couldn't agree more, every damn game looks exactly the same to each other, a huge ass RPG like with tons of sidequests which can be or not good and with cosmetic upgrades or paid DLCs.

The last four games that I have played follow this formula:

The Witcher 3

Batman Arkham Knight

Breath of The Wild

Nier Automata

Currently I have only finished The Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight, and got "tired" with the last two, currently playing SIFU and god it feels very fresh... Although I'm stuck at the "git gud" phase.

And here I am having a blast with my kids playing Switch Sports Soccer.
