>So when did games truly stop being good?
Video games have remained good. The progress of cutting edge AAA games began to really slow down in the early 2010s though and in order to stand out they needed to double down on budget and time.
The only thing that has objectively gotten worse is competitive multiplayer games because whatever knowledge advantage you once had is gone within a week once 100 different youtubers make a video about it. Meta-fagging is fucking boring.

The timeline of this image isn’t 100% accurate. Most zoomers grew up in the PS2/Gamecube era. It’s more likely they’d be playing games like Wind Waker and Resident Evil 4 as kids.

Then again, zoomers are a unique generation in the sense that pre-9/11 zoomers and post-9/11 zoomers are practically two completely different generations since the pre-9/11 ones actually remember the pre-social media days.

The real answer is they never did.

There ARE good games nowadays, they're just rarer. Cyberpunk may be a janky piece of shit, but it has lots of soul. KCD2 is one of the most immersive, interesting RPGs ever made. E33 is great.

And whilst old games almost all had soul aplenty (it's why I just pick random games made before 2006 and boot them up and am almost never disappointed) many of them weren't that good.

There are good things and bad things about both eras.

indie games follow a single gigachad's vision vs slop formed from a collective vague idea created by a team of people to market to kids

indie games employ unique artstyles that break the mold. slopgames repeat the same generic 3D "look". even old games go for generic looks. you will never find an old games that looks like ANYTHING made by a dev like yames.

indie games are not afraid to be a totally bizzare failure. AAAgames will only achieve this by pure hubris and incompetence (see: concord)

indie games actually have memorable soundtracks. can you remember the last time a "AAA" game had a good soundtrack? ever?

Indies have a worse good game to bad game ratio than even current AAA. For every good indie game, there's literally hundreds of really shitty ones.

What kind of a fucking subhuman faggot do you have to be to equate gaming with the console slop in that picture? The revolution in gaming that happened in the 90s was all on PC, while the consoles limped along and kept making games for kids and faggots, and eventually adopting poor imitations of the genres and technological leaps that had happened on PC years down the line.

The only reason indie games have more garbage than AAA and AA games is because Steam and Itch.io don’t have any quality control, so stuff that’s worse than shovelware can get on the platform. I would consider that the lesser evil to publishers dictating what games can and can’t be made though, and a lot of the trash is “so bad it’s good”-tier.

The trade off with publishers is always that you have a higher chance of a polished product, but a lower chance of a game that takes any real risks.
>>
>>738377950
>indie games follow a single person's vision
Means nothing if that person's vision is shit, and it often is, since anyone can become a dev nowadays

>Unique art styles
Really? You really want me to open steam and show you how 90% of indie games opt for a low-poly aesthetic because the developers
can't model anything else? Real unique there.

>Devs are not afraid of failure
Complete schizo point. Plenty of indie devs cater to the masses. In fact, indie devs are often the worst abusers of early access garbage and scams.

>indie games have good soundtracks
Quite possibly your worst point. 99% of memorable vidya music comes from AAA series like Final Fantasy, Persona, Elder Scrolls, etc.
Music is one of the few areas in which indie devs can compete with AAA with no disadvantages and most of them still fail hard.

You are massively coping. You like playing shitty, poorly developed minigames which try to be pretentious and deep. That's fine. But don't expect everyone else to be as stupid as you.

There was a major shift in the video game market the 2D to the 3D era. Japanese games tumbled in popularity, because Japanese developers had difficulty shifting to 3D. Western developers capitalized immensely on creating huge 3D worlds, which gamers gobbled up because it was new and exciting, but they were often soulless, repetitive and devoid of the detail and innovation that made Japanese games so beloved. This just got worse as time went on.

Japanese vidya developers are making a comeback though. Capcom, From Software and Square Enix are doing quite well even in Western Markets. That all said, the one modern vidya series that most closely resembles the experience I had as a very young millennial gamer is definitely the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. It combines modern sensibilities with the aesthetics of 1990s Japanese vidya. I Love it.
>>
>>738378363
Oblivion's soundtrack is so iconic people still use it in videos today.
I don't like Bethesda games but you're hard coping if you don't think their soundtracks left a huge mark.

As for Final Fantasy, you're just baiting and made it clear that I'm just wasting keystrokes on you. You can literally pick any game from 6 onward and just find multiple masterpieces.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUZZQ-hvRTs

Final Fantasy X has quite possibly the most memorable OST in any videogame ever made. Feel free to post your shitty indie game with one EDM track so the thread can laugh at you.
>>
>>738378434
You're not wrong, but saying they're making a comeback by posting a remake is dubious at best.
>>
>>738378229
A higher chance doesn’t mean a 100% chance. Sometimes things slip through the cracks. LJN and Phoenix games got published afterall. Also, even the most unpolished AAA game is more polished that some of the literal scam games developed by Indians in a week and shat out on the marketplace.

There are good and even genuinely great indie games out there, but they’re usually ones that do something different rather than being yet another Earthbound clone about depression or a walking sim.

>>738375158
Somewhere around 2010, maybe a bit later games completely stalled. Before that you can feel the games are older but after that it's all mostly the same.

>>738375189
I mean, most indie games are like survival crafting roguelite deckbuilder and before that the trend was platformers and metroidvanias. Huge amounts of "simulation" slop.
Some genres are still beyond the ability of indie devs to make them and also I'm not really willing to accept that reduction is scope and production value as a step forward. I want to play big expensive games too, I just want them to be good.

it's really not, to the point just fucking holding forward would be more engaging because i could at least focus on the environment instead of feeling like i am playing Getting Over It but with a budget

we could name literally any game and you would call it shit so we usually don't do that
anyway here's a couple:
case of the golden idol
lucky tower ultimate
look outside
rubato
enchanted portals

what's bad about golden idol?

Death Stranding 1 and 2 are some of the best games I've ever seen and some of the best story and visual design I've seen in any media.
But I will definitely agree that it's very much a marmite game, especially regarding the gameplay. You either like it or you don't. There's not really much middle ground.
To me though, I think the game is full of so many small details, it feels very handcrafted to me. Every bit of design is thought out. It's also Kojima at his most unhinged and most genius at the same time.
I wish it had been a movie though. It deserved a much wider audience than it got. The actors could still pull it off, but they'd have to start shooting immediately.

A24 are making a Death Stranding movie, but a separate story from the games (which I think is a huge mistake not to turn into a proper movie)

>"Why isn't every indie game a 10/10 and aimed for me?"
There are games for you, just play them. You don't need to like some random walking sim passion project if you don't want to. Just like you don't need to play new Fortnite update, ASSFAGGOTS, Marathon, BG3, or DK Bananza.
Saying that games you don't like exist in Indie as a reason why you don't play ANY INDIE GAME is extremely stupid and just a desperate cope to try and support the dominant AAA-industry instead of smaller creators. Maybe you are amerimutt with that attitude, but in the long run you'll be just hurting your own enjoyment of vidya.

Millennials are unironically the worst gen. The boomers were right about their criticisms of them. If you need any more proof, look at how they’re raising Gen Alpha.

>Millenials just make money on zoomers KEK
I mean that's true for every generation. "Youth culture" is always shaped by the elder members of the generation or the one above because it takes time to do something and achieve popularity so when teens get into something the biggest examples are going to be on their 20s.

Let's say 95% of AAA games are bad, and 99.5% of indie games are bad
Let's say in one year, 40 AAA games release and 10,000 inside games release
that means there are 2 good AAA games and 50 good indie games
>>
>>738375158
>flamewar shit
Don't forget that the present and future shit is built by adults
If shit during millennial time was good that's because of their previous generations. If shit is bad now, it's because millennials grew up only to ruin everything.
Games never stopped being good, there were always shit and good games. AAA arguably is terrible and at its lowest point but more than ever now there are indies and some good AA studios.

I feel like it's around 2014, maybe slightly before that. I noticed the exact same thing with movies, around that year seems to be where hollywood collectively turned to shit and people have pointed out that obama's second term, as well as the then uprising push for feminism, and not to forget GG played a huge part into it all.

>>738375158
They didn't. Great games only ever happened every couple of years to begin with and that's never really change.
The total number of games released on the other hand has increased exponentially, so the actual worthwhile ones make up a smaller percentage of the whole.
>but I haven't enjoyed any games after x point of my life
Skill issue, that or you confuse the comfort of nostalgia for what makes an enjoyable experience.

It was the late-2000s to mid-2010s.

One of the most interesting thing people don't talk about when it comes to the era is how people:
1. Pushed for heavy realism in games.
2. Video games actually suffered because the edgy/tryhard phase was dominant in culture so if the game was good but look cartoon it was looked down as dogshit and a lot of games caught flak for it.
3. Example of two include: Wind Waker but also Jak 1 which was compared against GTAIII
