You don't have passion projects, you don't have creativity or fresh takes or anything exciting.

AAA gaming is a fucking factory of boring, mass produced filth. Indie gaming is too concerned with rushing shitty games out or doing minimal effort meme games for "streamer reactions."

Where are the fun games? Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Wild 9, The Warriors, etc. The games that were made because of the fun factor they provided, the real games.

This can be said about modern music, film, television, basically any form of entertainment. Things just suck now.

Idk, television feels like it's on a huge incline. Stuff like Breaking Bad and GoT are praised by almost everyone.

Pillars of Eternity 2 is right around the corner.
Celeste, Into the Breach and Subnautica are critically acclaimed indie game from this year
Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are both great
People have been raving about Monster Hunter World
If you want something that's completely new and experimental there's also VR

But compare the sheer list of awesome games from like, 1998-2002 to the list from 2014-2018. It's nowhere near competitive with it. Gaming is on a sharp decline and while you sometimes get moments of brilliance it doesn't change the fact that you're put through torture to wait for those few and far between titles.

Put through torture? I wish I had the time to play every game that looked good and interesting.

agreed 100%, TC.

the vast majority of games feel like they're made in a boardroom rather than by passionate devs. it's the same bunch of game mechanics over and over again, which makes every game feel kind of bland and same-y. this extends to the story aspects of games, as well.

games are now over-engineered so they're never difficult, there's nonstop stimulation, the player never has to figure anything out, etc. The end result is that the majority of big games feel more like Disney World rides, where you "complete" them rather than "beat" them.

it's sad. i can count the number of fresh and exciting games i've played this gen on one hand, and honestly i probably wouldnt even use all 5 fingers. i still play video games because it's my preferred low-effort time waster and because i've always played video games, but honestly after this gen i dont even know if i will continue to buy systems and continue playing.

You have good taste, mate. Ever played Super Meat Boy? It revived a little of my passion for gaming a while back. Its especially fun if you have someone to pass the controller to and you can take turns beating levels. My roommate and I played through it this way and had a blast!
