Games are no longer made with passion
It's so sad games are half assed unfun games that are built on greed and gambling, I refuse to pay 80$ Canadian for this and if this is the way games are going I think I'm done soon been playing games since I was 6 on GameCube now 20, I remember being so pumped for games such as halo 2-3 dragon age James bond , cod 4, gears of war and many others I remember waiting weeks for the games cause they would be sold out and my dad comming home with them I got so giddy cause I knew I'd play this game for 1-2 years non stop, now I'm generally surprised if I play games more than 10 hrs then never touch it again,

I think that's because games are just no fun anymore like they don't have the same feeling anymore , maybe that's just notalgia of couch coop halo and gears of war kicking in and countless hrs playing cod with my brothers, idk I wish I could go back to 2003-2009 gaming because although online gaming was a big part of them now it's just so popular online gaming that is that the community and the whole appeal of games is geared towards everyone and now they are very toxic, I remember playing early cods and halos where the whole loby would talk and now it's a bunch of mutes. Idk I think it's just me getting older and kinda growing out of gaming

Triple A games perhaps, plenty of gems out there on PC that are made with love, they just lack that shiny graphics that a 185 million dollar budget will allow.

I flip flop between views on this.

Sometimes I look back at games like Speedball 2 and Supercars 2 and Bubble Bobble and I think things were better back then.

Sometimes I look at L4D2 and ARK and Skyrim and I think wow when I was a kid I wished for things likethis and now they are here.

Luckily for me I dont have to choose because I still have all my old computers and games from back to 1985.

There are still some games that are made with love out there. They're just harder to find.

I don't agree.

I disagree. All indie games are made with love and some Triple A, such as Skyrim, The Witcher 3, The Escapists franchise, Shadow of Mordor/War, GTA V before Online, the list goes on and on.

I fail to see your view, there are still great games being made with care.

Sometimes it's not the developer's fault. Sometimes the publishers force them to do things like releasing the game a whole year early (Sonic '06), although that's a bad example to use...

Big budget games are all about money, true. But that's a rather small subset of games these days.

You remember only the good games.
I am a lot older and I also remember all the crap they pumped out in those days.
It was never any different.
"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" was released in 1982 for Atari. A lazy cash in on a hit movie. Considered one of the worst games of all times.

To truth is that nothing is made out of passion in this world anymore. Instead the conveyor belt made product is just an unorganised soulless bullshet coming out of 50+ devs overmonotonised and overamericanised samish a-hole. Why? Because people buy it and then some. You can't blame the devs in that regard, don't buy crap, see the flower grow <3

As people have said, you've got to look at indies if you want to find games made with 100% passion. Some examples of pretty high quality games made with passion that I can think of are...

>Rock of Ages 1 & 2: The best example of something that was made with passion imo. Original gameplay, creative art direction and just overall an enjoyable experience.
>Legend of Grimrock 1 & 2: Very well made games from people who enjoyed similar oldschool dungeon crawlers. This game should be used as reference whenever any game decides to make a dungeon.
>Subnautica: Out of all the survival sandbox games out there, this one is by far the most original and creative. Highly immersive and it focuses more on actual survival and exploration rather than combat which is almost non existant.

I make my games with passion just nobody sees them or plays them.

Depends on the devs.

Heck, even some AAA games are clearly made with love. Just look at Witcher 3, R6S, Elex, or MH:W.

Say thanks to suits and ties who turned game dev companies into soulless corporations addicted to buzz words, fleecing and bottom line

Full release just came out. I played 60 hours in early access, I would've played more but I didn't want to spoil the story for myself too much.
