"Don't be nice. Be good."
You pay 60 bucks for an unfinished piece of poo poo game that consists in walking around painfully doing quests. Furthermore, when you pop the disk into your console you have to wait two loving hours for an update to download because you live in poo poo America where we have poo poo internet service. What happened to giving a video game cart a blowjob and then sticking it in the loving Nintendo. So easy and just simple fun. gently caress you Destiny.

New video games are good in different ways. What sucks most about video games is actually the community and its constant negativity. Maybe you're just not interested in video games anymore? Maybe you've grown up?

Video Games like Hollywood have found the magic formula to making blockbusters reliably for the near future. This formula is usually bland. The end.

I bought me a PS4 from a pawnshop cause it's been a few years since I had a system. I regret buying it. I really do. All the games out there suck. It's all your yearly rehash of Call of Duty, Madden, and wrestling.

Not to mention games are easy as gently caress these days. Did you get hurt? Just run away for 10 seconds cause the AI is too stupid to chase you and your health will regenerate to full so you can go back and kill them.

all these games also now include RPG elements of leveling up your powers so really bosses just become a challenge of how much you need to grind to kill them rather than how do you actually learn to kill them.

Also a few days ago I went into a Gamestop to see if they had anything cool. I decided to pick up Diablo and I wanted it new so all that DLC and expansion codes hadn't been used yet. Dude rings me up starts to pull the disc out of this paper sleeve he had in the back and I'm all "Uh no, I want the new copy please." and he's like "oh it is new"


I turned down the sale and walked away

98-05 were the best years for PC games beginning with starcraft..after BF2 it was all downhill. Never cared as much about consoles, but N64 at launch was amazing. Don't remember any other highlights sorry

i can't believe anyone played more than the first 3 of these games, hell i really had to force myself to finish brotherhood. never has there ever been a more same-y series of games, and that's saying a lot.

The problem is that video games have gone 'mainstream', and 'mainstream' types have bad taste in everything (see: pop music, fast food, superhero movies, etc.).

I actually miss the SNES/Neo Geo era, where games were more linear, but 2d and finely honed. All this open-world, sandbox is just tiring.

I want a remake of the classic game Burger Time

the first game was cool because it was in a location and time that was of massive interest to me as a history geek. the second was a big improvement gameplay-wise over the first though i disliked the setting compared to the first. then brotherhood is just the same fuckin game as 2, it does so little differently that it could have just been an expansion pack, and everything i've read of the games after that suggests that they all have that problem.

this series is surely on its way to the same burnout that tony hawk and ______ hero experienced.
