>Games today are better than they have ever been. The problem is that you're overstimulated by social media and your dopamine receptors have been fried by your smartphone

Is he right? I think he might be onto something, I no longer enjoy playing even older games like DMC3 or GoW

>DMC3 or GoW
Those games were never good
>>
Wouldn't know. I don't use social media, despite many boards' attempts to turn 4chan into one, like /v/.
>>
>>729749671
4chan has always been social media.
>>
>>729749671
YouTube is social media, 4chan is social media (and every second thread here is a twitter screenshot anyway)
>>
>>729749580
I still like playing older games, so no he's wrong.

if that's true why are older games more popular than the garbage we have today?
>>
No, games today are worse than they have ever been. The problem is that normalfags like him have been overstimulated by shill campaigns and their brain receptors have been fried by TikTok and streaming

Games are fucking atrocious lately

They can't run new games

Maybe there’s like 1 good game every year. Most games nowadays are piles of horseshit
>>
>>729749580
The problem is you need to find a new hobby. Come back to video games in a few years.
>>
>>729749580
I mean that's true, if by better you mean more stimulating. Meanwhile older games are less stimulating so they're less fatiguing to play after being stimulated all day by the meme society.

Yes. Match making, daily grinds, gacha and battle passes did the rest to you. You got conditioned into playing only AAA match making titles mostly.

No.

Gaming has never been worse. I am old enough to see and know better.

Don't really care if you believe it or not
If games were truly better than ever then surely we would be more inclined to play them though

i pirate 99% of PC games because im not a retarded goy to give Gabe any money

if i posted my Steam it would look like i dont play games, so your request doesn't make any sense
>>
>>729752290
No you don't understand, you have to give your money to Gaben to be a true gamer.

This is just one of those things you can say about any medium, fandom, or genre without knowing anything and sound insightful

I'm playing borderlands four right now, will start with heroes of hammerwatch two next. The second you stop being engaging with rage bait on a daily basis, you start enjoying games.
>>
>>729752395
true gamers only use Steam and buy single player games at full price!
>>
>>729749580
Imagine being so lacking in individuality that you have to watch videos of people telling what you should try to do next year

I'm still having a blast everytime I play Blood, meanwhile the latest CoD is a snoozefest not even worth pirating.

No they're not better, they've never been worse. I can't even think of a single good game released in the past decade.

>Games today are better than they have ever been.
Half-truth.
>The problem is that
That DLC, Lootboxes, and exploitation of modding communities, turned games that used to be full products full of free unlockable content through creative ways; into exploitative more-broken-than-ever graphics demos; where grind is no longer a matter of wasting your time in a fun way, but a soulless feature intentionally designed to monopolise your time so other competitors can't get a chance. Even though this philosophy doesn't work, marketers and corporate are often as dumb as they are rich so they convince themselves that it does, or they do shareholders.

I've always had ADHD. I was diagnosed young but didnt get medicated until my 30s because my parents didnt believe it was real. So im very much an "ADHD gamer". And because of that, I play old games because they catered to that.

I was thinking about this. And I really find this interesting. If our attention spans are so shot and everybody is a retard why are game companies making 40 hour open world crafting system slogs? Isn't that bad for business? I mean its clearly not, people love these games. So maybe everybody's attention isnt that bad?
>>
>>729754372
The aim is to inflict the sunk cost fallacy on people.
If you've been on the treadmill for 20 hours already, you don't want to give up that hard work, right?
