toupz111: I think we all agree they don't make good games anymore, if you disagree you're either young or *********. Games used to be good, 20 years ago. Developers had to code hard to make their products sellable because there was no early access bullshit for '' Beta Testers '' or should i say guinea pig players. Nowadays games come out unfinished and riddled with issues or abandoned after some early access time... This i noticed mostly on steam tho. I have faith in Gog to bring awesome games and hope i'm wrong with this title and thoughts. There's still gems being made but they seem so rare.
If you can't find games that you like right now, I'd say you aren't looking hard enough. The sheer number of games they are releasing is blowing my mind.
Overall, I think games have gotten better overall, due to:
- Improved graphics and better computers now than 20 years ago for AAA games
- Better common knowledge of what frustrates gamers in games
- The indie gaming scene
- More tooling overall, enabling studios with more limited resources to focus on gameplay and less on reinventing the wheel
There are some masterpieces at any given era of gaming, but on average, I wouldn't trade today's games for the games they made 30, 20 or ever 10 years ago.
