Why aren't games fun anymore?
Is the world completely evil/demoralized now?

Are you talking about games, or are you talking about social media?
>twitter is an algorithmically driven website, if you engage in hatred you will only find hatred
>reddit is all divided up into individually moderated communities
>the big discord servers are all dogshit
>and the small discord servers you can never find
Gaming is fine. Just play them.

Because you are playing unfun games

I think there are plenty of decent games, the problem is that no one is really innovating or pushing the envelope. Maybe you just need to just sit down and actually play something you normally wouldn't consider to be your preferred genre. I didn't really care for "soulslike" stuff for a long time but when I actually took the time to play it was nice to play something different. Go play a roguelike with shitty graphics for while, then go play something with really good graphics. You have to mix it up.

Nah, it's just that you personally are miserable. It's why you make threads focusing on what you think is unfun, rather than try to get something fun going. You want it to be the negative.

Miserable life creates miserable imagination.

I'd say many "modern gamers" have lost their personalities and ability to have fun in a game, thinking minmaxing is the only way to play a game and that a game ONLY starts once you reach max level. As i said here >>693311336 though this is focused on wow it is in many ways seen in other games for example the lack of community events hell even the sense of community that is not a thing between a small circle of people but server/game-wide etc. The fact that things like singleplayer WoW with AI being a thing just proves that modern gamers are as empty as a bot thus making people switch to AI for a better game experience

This exactly. There's so many people, especially GenZ/GenA/younger millennials who have no idea how to separate internet/social media and reality. There's a shit ton of games out there. We had some of the best games I've played in a LONG TIME released in the past few years (Baldurs gate 3, Elden ring, Ac6, etc). But so many people just sit there glued to twitter/twitch and getting all riled up by the shit they feed you to get engaged. Like bro, just walk away from the screen. Ignore it. Treat gaming like people did in the late 90s and early 2000s and you'd be a lot happier.

Don't play games with shitty monetization then. Or ignore it. Not like a flashy skin makes you better at the game.

The PvP crowd got fucked up too. They like to act like they were immune to changes. The amount of shitters who want to troll and be like some shitty content creator went up 100 fold. The reason pvp mmorpgs keep failing is cause the pvpers go and do everything they can to kill their own game. Even if the game is close to an exact copy of some good pvp mmorpg from the old days. They just torpedo their own game within months. Devs have to set up all these railings and controls to try to keep the huge amount of psychos that pvp games now attract from killing their own game. Nevermind that most pvpers who cared about pvp went to pvp focused games (MOBAs, Battle Royales, Looter Shooters, etc).

I remember how it felt to be 15 just now when i watched this

old games are great.
there's a reason why 38% of games played are over 8 years old and games released in the last 2 years only make up 9%.

>>the big discord servers are all dogshit
>>and the small discord servers you can never find
cuz discord is intended to use with your 3-4 RL gamer friends retard, not with randoms
